Pastor Fiifi and I were in London for a day of meetings with singles and also with married couples. We were joined by Pastor Nathan Byrd from The Worship Center of St. Albans in New York. What an incredible time we had! First of all, London is a beautiful city, characterized by old quaint buildings that represent strength and stability. Like any other major city in the world though, there is a clear need for God. We stood under the Marble Arch in London (a gateway that was built for the entrance of the queen) and called on the name of the Lord for the city. We also recorded some TV interviews for a program called Against All Odds. The conferences were wonderful. It was our first time having a singles seminar on the same day as a marriage seminar and it worked out very well. We talked about purpose and destiny in marriage, being healed from wounds, and understanding the process by which Adam was prepared before Eve came on the scene. The time of prayer was empowering, especially for the singles. The feedback was encouraging. When asked "What impacted you the most?" one person responded "What didn't?"

While it was great seeing God bless His people in England, it is good to be back home and on assignment in Maryland. The Hunger & Healing sessions at House of Worship on Friday nights have focussed on our role as kings and priests unto the Lord. We have been talking about establishing altars along our journey, just like Abraham did. That is exactly what we did at the Marble Arch in London. As priests we must walk the length and breadth of the land and claim it for God. As kings, we must rule. We must sit in our places of authority.

This week I am so reminded of how Moses failed to reach his own destiny in the process of helping others reach their destiny. He was frustrated, in fact, those people literally drove him crazy! But the calling on Moses' life was great. The expectations were great. The requirments were great. So for him, smashing a rock instead of trusting God was simply not acceptable. We must never lose the connection to our source, and our commitment to our assignments. The honor of serving God is awesome, but the blessing of obeying Him is profound. This week, choose to obey. Don't hit the rock because of the pain of ministry. Choose to do His will every step of the way.
