One Hunger; One Desire Declaration

Declaration of One Hunger, One Desire

Today, I am stepping across the line. I'm tired of waffling and I'm finished with wavering. I've made my choice; and my decision is irrevocable. My one hunger, one desire is Jesus Christ! There is no turning back. I will live the rest of my life longing for God, pursuing after Him, serving His purposes, with His people, on His planet, for His glory. I will use my life to celebrate His presence, cultivate His character, participate in His family, demonstrate His love, and communicate His Word.

Since my past has been forgiven, and I have a purpose for living and a home waiting in heaven, I refuse to waste any more time or energy on shallow living, petty thinking, trivial talking, thoughtless doing, useless regretting, hurtful resenting, or faithless worrying. Instead I will magnify God, grow to maturity, serve in ministry and fulfill His mission for me while He has for me here on earth.

Because this life is preparation for the next, I will value worship over wealth, "we" over "me", character over comfort, service over status, and people over possessions, position and pleasure. I know what matters most and I will give it all I've got. I will do the best I can with what I have for Jesus Christ today. I won't be captivated by culture, manipulated by critics, motivated by praise, frustrated by problems, debilitated by temptation, or intimidated by the devil. I'll keep running my race with my eyes on the goal; not on the sidelines or on those running by me. When times get tough and I get tired, I won't back up, back off, back down, back out or backslide.

I'll just keep moving forward by God's grace. I'm spirit-led, purpose-driven, and mission-focused so I can't be bought. I will not be compromised and I shall not quit until I finish the race. All this because my one hunger and one desire is Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Saviour.

I'm a trophy of God's amazing grace so I will be gracious to everyone, grateful for everyday and generous with everything that God entrusts to me. I will keep growing in big faith, rooted in Christ, rooted in love and rooted in His Word. I will attentively hear His practical Word for me; be found in providential relationships; faithfully practice the private disciplines; be involved in personal ministry and grow through pivotal circumstances.

I hereby declare my supreme allegiance to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He is my one hunger and one desire. I say this: However, whenever, wherever and whatever you ask me to do, I want my answer is to be yes! Just give me your unfailing grace! I'm ready. Anytime. Anyway. Whatever it takes Lord; whatever it takes! I want to be used by you in such a way that on that final day, I'll hear you say,"Well done, good and faithful one. Come on in and let the eternal party begin!"
