The Zimbabwe Covenant

I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have Holy Spirit power.
The die is cast.
I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I am a disciple of Jesus.
I will not look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed.
My present makes sense.
My future is secure.
I am finished and done with low-living, sight-walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotion, or popularity.
I do not have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded.
I now live by faith, lean on God’s presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven.
My road is narrow, my way rough, my Guide reliable, my mission clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.
I will not give up, shut up or let up.
I will go on until Christ comes, and work until Christ stops me.

I am a disciple of Jesus.
