From my journal, June 08, 2017
Dr. Michael Oloyede Oyedokun II, a Pastor who truly has a “Heart Like Jesus”. I recall it like it was yesterday, my first time hearing Pastor O, speak, February 14, 2016, during 8am Service. He said 4-word’s: “There Is A Word”. From that moment on, I have been blessed with his teaching, preaching and spiritual guidance.
I can recall many occasions how Pastor O’s teaching has helped me in my spiritual growth while on my spiritual journey. One in particular was the day I walked up to my door and found an Eviction Notice. I know for a fact, God is this man’s guide! As I walked up to the door and started to read the note, my phone started to ring, I looked at the phone and it was Pastor O.
He said, “God told me to check up on you”. I was floored, thankful and grateful for him following the Holy Spirit.
At the very moment, he assured me; God will provide, not to worry and to remember what we talked about in 12 Noon Bible Study, when we experience God, we have to allow his will to be done, trust in him and remain FAITHFUL in my obedience. Yes, I was still in tears, but a calming came over me and I know it was God! Then, he told me; Read JOB! LOL, did he open up the Gates of Heaven and pour out a blessing on me!
I’m still in my storm, yet I know for a fact, it will be alright- Whatever “IT” is!!! The world may see it different, the world really doesn’t understand my PRAISE, but God knows and I know! Aint’ He Alright? Yes! Yes! Yes! There is Victory in my Praise!
Thank you Pastor O for being a man of God, a loving-kind Pastor and my brother in Christ.
