IT IS TIME TO LAUGH Part 1
MONDAY 9TH FEBRUARY 2015
TOPIC: IT IS TIME TO LAUGH Part 1
FOCUS VERSE: Psalm 2: 4: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
BIBLE READING: Psalm 2: 1-12
The first time I ever heard that God laughs, I felt the person who said it was just trying to be funny. I tried to imagine how possible it was for such a great God to laugh. I used to think before now that laughter was for unserious people or that laughter only came when someone cracked a joke. I never for once attributed laughter to the Almighty God until I read this passage. Reading this passage did not only reveal to me that God could laugh but it also made me discover that God wants His children to laugh. There is no place in the scripture where it was written that God cried but thank God it is written that He laughs. If my father laughs, it means that I am free to laugh also.
Some people have not had a reason or cause to laugh for a long time but I strongly believe that as from now on, you will always have a reason to laugh in Jesus name. The passage we read today tells us that God will laugh in response to something. The first few verses tells us that some people have gathered themselves together against God and His anointed which I believe is you and I and they have decided to destroy us but the Bible says in response to what they have done, God had decided to laugh at them. Is it not interesting that instead of God being bothered about what these people are planning, He is simply laughing at them. This is the kind of response God wants us to give to those who are planning evil against us.
As a child of God, it is important for you to know that you are not supposed to worry about people’s counsel and plans against you. As long as you are a child of God, there is no counsel against you that can stand. When someone threatens you with evil, instead of you being bothered or crying about it, God wants you to simply laugh it off. Let them go to any herbalist or any river for your sake, they are wasting their time because God has not left you. One of my best scriptures is what David said in Psalm 23. He said even if he walked through the valley of the shadow of death, he would not be afraid because God is with Him. This is why you should laugh at anyone who tries to do evil to you. It is just a waste of time. Do you think God would just sit down and watch anyone hurt you or succeed in doing evil against you? I want to encourage you to start laughing from today. Exchange all those worries and weeping for laughter. When you start acting the way God wants you to, you can be sure that things will start changing. When you cry or become depressed of the devils threat over your life, you are giving strength to the devil and embarrassing the Almighty God. I want to tell you that it is time to laugh.
Laugh at the devil. Laugh at those challenges. Laugh at the wiles and strategies of the devil against your life. Laugh at those trials. Get ready; you will forever have reasons to laugh always in Jesus name.
ACTION POINT: What is that issue that has been giving you sleepless nights or that has been making you cry, start laughing over them from now. Ask God for the grace to overlook what the devil might be trying to do and keep thanking God for His great plans over your life.
TODAY’S CONFESSION:
1. I am a child of God and therefore I have every reason to rejoice in Jesus name
2. The name of the Lord is a strong tower. I live in it and therefore I am safe
3. Laughter has filled my mouth. I cannot experience sorrow anymore because I am given to laughter in Jesus name

DON’T RUN
FRIDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 2015
TOPIC: DON’T RUN
FOCUS VERSE: Jonah 1: 3 : But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord by sailing to Tarshish.
BIBLE READING: Jonah 1: 1-17
I think one of the greatest mistake a man can ever make is trying to run away or hide from the one who created him. There is a saying in my language that says ‘’the dead man cannot hide himself from the one who will wash him’’. This saying says it all. Many people today are running away from their maker and creator. When God created us as humans, he had an idea and a purpose in mind. God does not waste resources and He is a master planner and strategist. You are therefore no mistake and therefore, you are not supposed to be a failure. However, the major reason why people who were not made to be failures seem to fail is because we try to run away from the God who created us and gave us a purpose for living.
There are several ways to run away from our maker. First you must know that when you do not give your life completely to Christ and let His plan work out in you, you are running away from your maker. The scripture says in John3:16 that God so loved the world and gave us His son for anyone that believes in Him should have eternal life. We are expected to say yes to God by accepting Him. Anyone who refuses Christ is running away from His maker.
Secondly, when you decide to run after your ambition rather than God’s vision, you are also trying to run away from your maker. There are many people today trying to do what they think is easier to do. Like I said earlier, we were all designed for a purpose and God wants that purpose fulfilled. What you like to do may not be what God wants you to do. I never in my life thought I would be a Pastor when I was young. I was developing myself for something entirely different until I gave my life to Christ and God began to discuss with me His purpose for my life. Left for me, I would have loved to be an engineer but God had his own purpose and design. You must seek to know the plan and purpose of God for your life. God does not want us running away from Him, instead, He wants us to agree with Him and obey His instructions.
Another way to run away from God is refusing to do what He sends you to do. For example, refusing to preach the gospel is an act of trying to run away from God and so on and so forth.
I however cannot end this devotional without letting you know the consequences of running away from God. There is no one who tried it and ever told a pleasant story even though at the end, whatever happens ends up working together for our good. Jonah tried to run away from God and a fish swallowed him. When you try to run from God, you end up facing difficulties you never imagined. There are people going through hard times today and blaming the devil for it, unknown to them that their act of running away from God is behind it all. Stop putting yourself in unnecessary hardship and pains. Surrender to the one who created you. Do His will and obey His instructions. Carry out His assignment and stop running. Some people today should be Pastors but are still running. May you not realize after 20 years of suffering. You had better carry your bible and start preaching the word of God. I always thank God that I responded early. May be I would have been suffering in one bank or the other today or probably they would have even sacked me and I will say it is persecution. Open your eyes and be wise. Make up your mind never to run from God. I pray you will respond to the call of God over your life fromtoday in Jesus name.
ACTION POINT: Surrender today. Stop running from God. If you have been going the wrong direction, seek counsel and make a U-turn now before it is too late.

TOPIC: DON’T RUN
FOCUS VERSE: Jonah 1: 3 : But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord by sailing to Tarshish.
BIBLE READING: Jonah 1: 1-17
I think one of the greatest mistake a man can ever make is trying to run away or hide from the one who created him. There is a saying in my language that says ‘’the dead man cannot hide himself from the one who will wash him’’. This saying says it all. Many people today are running away from their maker and creator. When God created us as humans, he had an idea and a purpose in mind. God does not waste resources and He is a master planner and strategist. You are therefore no mistake and therefore, you are not supposed to be a failure. However, the major reason why people who were not made to be failures seem to fail is because we try to run away from the God who created us and gave us a purpose for living.
There are several ways to run away from our maker. First you must know that when you do not give your life completely to Christ and let His plan work out in you, you are running away from your maker. The scripture says in John3:16 that God so loved the world and gave us His son for anyone that believes in Him should have eternal life. We are expected to say yes to God by accepting Him. Anyone who refuses Christ is running away from His maker.
Secondly, when you decide to run after your ambition rather than God’s vision, you are also trying to run away from your maker. There are many people today trying to do what they think is easier to do. Like I said earlier, we were all designed for a purpose and God wants that purpose fulfilled. What you like to do may not be what God wants you to do. I never in my life thought I would be a Pastor when I was young. I was developing myself for something entirely different until I gave my life to Christ and God began to discuss with me His purpose for my life. Left for me, I would have loved to be an engineer but God had his own purpose and design. You must seek to know the plan and purpose of God for your life. God does not want us running away from Him, instead, He wants us to agree with Him and obey His instructions.
Another way to run away from God is refusing to do what He sends you to do. For example, refusing to preach the gospel is an act of trying to run away from God and so on and so forth.
I however cannot end this devotional without letting you know the consequences of running away from God. There is no one who tried it and ever told a pleasant story even though at the end, whatever happens ends up working together for our good. Jonah tried to run away from God and a fish swallowed him. When you try to run from God, you end up facing difficulties you never imagined. There are people going through hard times today and blaming the devil for it, unknown to them that their act of running away from God is behind it all. Stop putting yourself in unnecessary hardship and pains. Surrender to the one who created you. Do His will and obey His instructions. Carry out His assignment and stop running. Some people today should be Pastors but are still running. May you not realize after 20 years of suffering. You had better carry your bible and start preaching the word of God. I always thank God that I responded early. May be I would have been suffering in one bank or the other today or probably they would have even sacked me and I will say it is persecution. Open your eyes and be wise. Make up your mind never to run from God. I pray you will respond to the call of God over your life fromtoday in Jesus name.
ACTION POINT: Surrender today. Stop running from God. If you have been going the wrong direction, seek counsel and make a U-turn now before it is too late.

Creating Time For Each Other ( Part One)
"We never have time for ourselves anymore" was one frustrating remark a father of two spur out while I was counselling him and hIs wife on a beautiful Saturday morning with a book titled 'The five languages f love', o hs hand. The frustration Mr Richard expressed is valid and ongoing. Late night, early morning, mid-dayno matter the timing, today's couples are constantly faced with obstacles. When it comes to intimacy and communication.
Although as a couple, lack of intimacy is a season that will eventually pass, but the realization of is is not the same between husbands and wives. while husbands easily embrace this fact as part of the family growth, wives who are wired completely. differently. It is just like a wife saying to her husband, " I know you are hungry, honey, but hang in there, a couple more years, and you will be able to eat whatever you want." Funny but that is how it appears with the emotional needs and 'supplies' in most married partners union.
Before married couples start a family, they have the whole time for themselves, but after the arrival of children, Combined with the normal workload; it becomes A new ball game. the arrival of small children can have a negative effect on the couple's intimacy. Teenagers can be just as detrimental. Although infants and toddlers demand the lion's share of couples time and attention, couples are often left drained of energy and sleep-peprived. They might not be in the mood for conversation, sex, and intimacy. Older kids bring their own set of intimacy disturbance in a different way. So how do we make intimacy a priority when time is not duty appropriated for it?
My quick response is for couples to realize that struggling to find time for intimacy is normal part of marriage. Although opportunities for intimacy arise when souse least expect them, spouse need to take a close look at their schedules and deliberately set out time for intimacy.
There is a need to plan ahead, while spontaneous opportunities for intimacy and lovemaking are great, they are also not enough. These opportunities will not always be available and are not enough to satisfy a healthy intimacy. Planning should be paramount when it comes to marital intimacy. Certain things in the lives of a couple can be negotiable such as where they are going to live, number of kods they want to raise and so on. A couple's intimacy and communication cannot be negotiated, even though this is often missing from the 'to do' list of an average couple. We all know that is the area where the greatest connection is established.

The Power of Vision
The Power of Vision
Genesis 37:5-11,And Joseph dreamed a
dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.6 And
he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:7 For,
behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also
stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance
to my sheaf.8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over
us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more
for his dreams, and for his words.9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and
told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and,
behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to
me.10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father
rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?
Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to
thee to the earth?11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed
the saying.
Dear Brethren, I welcome you to the first bulletin in the
year of Glory 2015.This is our month of Vision and Time management and we will
look at how to understand a vision and run with it to achieve supernatural
success in every area of your lives.
Vision is the ability to see beyond the scope of your sight, vision
gives you the ability to see the impossible. Don't think everyone will believe
in your dream the first time you say it out, you are only the best at what you
are created for..
Vision is the ability to see your purpose achieved, purpose
is why God created you while vision is when you see it. It is the divine
deposit God already put it in you before delivery and you need to break your
fallow ground. Vision is the reflection of your in born creativity and until
you discover what you are created to do, you can't be the best the creator
intended you to be. Without vision, life becomes a burden without direction. The
areas to build your vision on are :
-Build a vision for your spiritual life:ask yourself these
questions and answer them truthfully,what level are you now as compared with
the last year,also ask yourself and have a vision on what level you want to be
spiritually in the next year.
-Build a vision for your finance:what is your financial level
now?where do you want to be next year? Have a vision for long term finance
handling.
-Build a vision for your marital destiny:ask yourself if you
are a better husband or wife and ask your spouse also if you have changed and
dropped the negative attitudes that previously caused disagreements in your
home.
-Build a vision for your mental life:how do you plan to
develop yourself because personal development is extremely important,You need
to take your career to the peak.
-Build a vision for your business:whether you are a salary
earner or you run your personal business not withstanding you need to plan
ahead for the future.
-Build a vision for your Ministry:once you have a calling to
minister unto people,you must of a certainty have a vision in order to rightly
fulfill the call of God on your life.
The four ways to discover your vision are:
*Heavenly Revelation:God Himself giving you directions
through a dream or a prophet.It is God giving you a life purpose,a direct
vision encounter with God.
*Looking Inward:you can discover your vision by locating the
divine talent in you and discovering the
values placed in you.What you are naturally good at doing is something you have
a talent for make use of it.
*Passion:the passion you have is a pointer to the problem you
are born to solve.Nehemiah and Gideon turned their passion to mission.
*Point of strongest desire for change: every time you walk
around a thing and you see the need to see it being done in a better way, your
vision can be discovered from there. God respects desire when its geared
towards enhancing human race.
There are 3 levels of people categorized on earth and they
are:
Survival level:the people on this level just strive day in
day out for the basic amenities which are food,shelter and clothing.
Success level:this level is good though there is a greater
level.At this level you can boast of owning houses and cars and go as far as
give to others.
Significant level:this is when you become an icon,an
institution on your own where thousands and nations can attest to your
greatness and importance to humanity.
Don’t live through life without a vision, unlimited success
is discovering the reason you are created and fulfilling it.Success is
attainable,reach out and strive to be successful.May the Lord bless you and
strengthen you as you discover your vision and work towards its fulfillment
today in the name of Jesus.
Pst Blessing Olamijulo.
