I have arrived in Orlando, Florida for a camp with a selection of the North American shepherds and members of the Lighthouse Chapel International and I believe it is going to be a powerful time in the presence of the Lord.

Over the past few days though, I have been ministering in Pastor Larry Stockstills’ church (Bethany World Prayer Center) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was there with my wife Adelaide, to honor an invitation to preach at their third annual “Remnant Conference”. The conference had several hundreds of pastors and leaders from all over the United States in attendance and it was a refreshing experience.

As I go further away from home and familiar territory, one of the remarkable things I notice is the genuine warmth and appreciation of my books and ministry. This conference was no exception.

On Tuesday morning, during the session I was scheduled to preach, I shared about “The Stages of Disloyalty”. All the books were completely sold out by the end of the session and more books had to be brought in from another state overnight.   I’m told many of the attendees seemed already familiar with my books and ministry. Others were also keenly interested in finding out more about my ministry and websites.

You know, I remember how my books were rejected when I first sent my earlier books to bookshops in England and America. A couple of years down the road, it is amazing to see and hear of people with great testimonies of how their lives had been touched in one way or the other by these very books. God is gracious and His will is a mystery.

Tuesday evening, I had another opportunity to minister and I shared from my book, Take up Your Cross. After this service, I prayed for the conference attendee and there were several testimonies of healing and miracles.

I had preached for two more sessions the day after that also. I believe the messages will soon be uploaded on my website so you can all have the benefit of attending the conference (at least partially…)

I believe that everyone who takes up the call of God is a truly honourable person. In spite of what people think, very few people ever opt for the service of the Lord. Very few people have the faith to obey the call to ministry. In spite of this great effort, ministers are vilified and denigrated constantly. Mercy for ministers of God! If ever you find yourself being drawn to God and to His call, pursue it. It is His will for your life. Every attempt to serve God in ministry is a great and honourable effort and He will reward for it.

Till I make another entry….you’re all blessed!
