While preaching at the ordination service, the General Superintendent told the new ordained Pastors that there is no doubt that the ministry will bring a lot problems, but as ministers they must turn the problems through the help of the Holy Spirit to opportunities.

He noted that the three things that are in the ministry which Apostle Paul also encountered during his earthly ministry are opportunity, opposition and option.

He implored the new ministers not to look at the negative side of the ministry, but the positives side, adding that the ministry is always full of opportunities.
Pastor Oladele said that even at times when God open doors, some won't look at that but only focused on the closed ones, saying that Holy Spirit does not open doors alone, but also closes doors.
According to him, today's ministers don't look at the opened doors, but mainly concentrate on the closed doors.
"When Apostle Paul went to the synagogue, he was opposed and he could have been discouraged, but he was not. There will always be opposition in the ministry. If you have no opposition, I doubt who you are working for. When you preach the real gospel, you will face opposition. Being in the ministry is not about just preaching nice sermons, it is about battling with God's enemy. Ministry is not about speaking good grammar or wearing big suite, it is about fighting the enemy of the gospel," he stated.
It must be noted that the newly ordained Pastors are not from other faction of CAC. They are ministers who formerly are not under CAC Worldwide, but now have been ordained as ministers in CAC Worldwide.
