A Young Man's Christian Confession Before His Death

by Dr. Bob Moorehead  http://www.wayofthemaster.com/confession.shtml In 1980 a young man from Rwanda was forced by his tribe to either  renounce Christ or face certain death.  He refused to renounce Christ, and he was killed on the spot. The night before he had written the following  commitment which was found in his room: “I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast,  I have stepped over the line,  the decision has been made- I’m a disciple  of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure.  I’m finished and done with low living,  sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed vision, worldly talking, cheap giving & dwarfed goals. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable,  my mission  is clear. I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up  prayed up for  the cause of Jesus Christ. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows,  work  till He stops me & when He comes  for His own, He will have no  trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear.”
