2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Honey..I'm home!!!

It was all God!!!! 😭😭😭
I'm fagged out...but I'm more grateful..then I am tired!

I asked my daughter to fetch me a phone book ...
She says, “you’re so old fashioned Dad” and handed me her smart phone instead ...
Long story short ... the spider is dead, my daughters phone is shattered, and now she’s crying 🤣🤣
(...this is a joke o! )
Psalm 9:9 AMPC
The Lord also will be a refuge and a high tower for the oppressed, a refuge and a stronghold in times of trouble (high cost, destitution, and desperation).
James 1:5 NKJV
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
James 1:22 NLT
But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
So if someone asks me do you enjoy Preaching...I would say...I enjoy the results of my Preaching.
Huh? Yes o!
I'm not the "I have fire in my bones...I must Preach kinda Minister."
I'm the "how do we reach these People with the Gospel kinda Minister."
So it's about what will work..how will the Gospel be promoted and Kingdom be advanced.
Going further...it's about results..making the difference...and not about Me, Olamide preaching..you get me?
For instance...In my teams, which Ministers are best Gifted/Graced for this particular outreach etc.
So I'm a Leader more than I am a Preacher...
Behind every successful Missionary...is a Christian Wife ..
Oops..sorry...my bad....
I meant "BESIDE"....not behind!! 😉😌😅
Glory to God!!!
With the planning, prayer preparation that goes into our Missions trips...one sometimes gets anxious.
Partners are sacrificing much to see this work done.... This can put pressure on me....I must perform well!!! I must achieve!!!! the goals set to Convert People and Plant Churches must be met!..... Someone just gave their hard earned money for me to preach the Gospel!....wow!
Sometimes, I over prepare in prayer...and again i almost spoil it with overthinking.....I know what every bit of money means and where it came from!
Oh Jesus..as I go to the field please help me..to be a Worthy Vessel! 😭 I have felt the crushing of inadequacy.
But I am Christian and I have learnt how to Pray....I know how to enter the Presence of my Father and find help...even if it means I am crying as I petition God for strength and His Power.
Missions is an adventure..I tell you...deeply romantic...many tears...some heart breaks out there..but...but...yes but...BUT God is with us.
