Text:  Dueteronomy 33:8-11

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When a man is blessed he enjoys the support of the forces of Heaven above, the forces of this Earth and the forces beneath the Earth- Genesis 49:25-26. Such a man will put in little effort but get great results. If he is a soldier that goes to battle, the Hosts of Heaven will join him to destroy his enemies. Whatever he touches will always prosper. Such a man will never lack help from God and Man. Things will be falling in proper place for him without knowing why.

On the contrary, if a man is cursed he will operate under the attack of the forces of Hell.he will put in great effort and get little results. He will seek for help from men and get none. Instead of him to increase he will be diminishing. When they are sharing good things, it will finish by the time it gets to his turn. Mysterious losses he can’t explain will just be happening to such a person. May that not be your portion in Jesus name.

Even if you are a carrier of a curse, you can get delivered by moving close to the God who can turn your curse to blessing.

Levi and Simeon massacred the entire family of Shechem because a prince from that family raped their sister Dinah- Genesis 34. This issue angered their father so much so that he laid a curse on the two of them in Genesis 49:5-7. However, the curse in the life of Levi and his generation was broken because he dedicated his life exclusively to the service of the Most High.

When the opportunity came and the whole of Israel backslid, and Moses made a call to know who was on the Lord’s side, the Levites separated themselves from the others and took sides with God in obedience. At that point their situation was turned around and their curse was turned to blessing- Exodus 32;Deuteronomy 33:8-11.

Have you been cursed because of a negative thing you did? All hope is not lost only if you will surrender your life to Christ and dedicate yourself to him. Devote yourself to service of God’s  kingdom and he will turn your situation around in Jesus name.

Action Nugget: Devote yourself to service of God’s  kingdom and he will turn your situation around in Jesus name

 Text:  Galatians 3:13-14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The first place the word, “curse” was mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis 3. It came as a result of man’s disobedience to God’s clear instructions. The negative pronouncements from the Most High against humanity came when man decided to set aside the commandments of God and chose instead to go his own way.

On the contrary blessings come directly as a result of obedience to the will and plan of God. In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, says, “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God.”

There are families that carry generational curses because an ancestor did something which led to a negative pronouncement on the unborn generations. An example was Gehazi who went behind his master Elisha to fraudulently accept a gift from Namaan. He provoked a curse from Elisha that transferred Naaman’s leprosy to  cling to Gehazi and his descendants forever.” 2 Kings 5:1-27

Gehazi’s unborn children suffered from an incurable disease of which they personally know nothing about.

Have you noticed a negative trend that runs in your family or lineage? Don’t take it as a mere coincidence.

Thank God for Jesus’s whose death on the Cross has cancelled the curse- Galatians 3:13-14. Repent from your sinful lifestyle, surrender to Jesus’ management today; forsake sin; confess any generational sins (be it known or unknown- God knows). ask for mercy and break every generational curse by the Blood of Jesus.

Action Nugget: Take the above spiritual steps and don’t stop praying until the negative trend becomes terminated in your life.

 Text:  James 1:22-24

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When you stand in front of a mirror you are able to see yourself the way you are in the real sense of it. If there is any speck, pimple, spot, wrinkle, you are able to see and make the necessary adjustments.

The word of God acts as a mirror which shows who we truly are- James 1:22-24 . It reveals our shortcomings and weaknesses and reveals areas of our lives where we need to make amends.

The mirror of the word reveals the true intention and exposes the secrets of our hearts- Hebrews 4:12. We may not be comfortable when we are under the spotlight of God’s word.  A lot of people don’t feel comfortable under the light and mirror of God’s word.

If you shy away from the truth of God’s word, you are like a man who sweeps his dirt under a carpet. Why not confront your shortcomings once and for all and make the necessary adjustments?

Some measure themselves against the wrong standards- culture, traditions, what is trending and in vogue; social influencers, popular opinion etc. But there is a way that seems right unto a man but the end is way of death- Proverbs 14:12

There are several avenues through which you can have access to the mirror of the word. You could have access the mirror individually through the personal study of God’s word. Corporately, you could access the word in the congregation of God’s people. That is why we are commanded not to forsake the assembly of God’s people- Hebrews 10:25

Accept the chastisements, rebuke and reproof of God’s word with humility and love.

Action Nugget: Regularly engage the mirror of the word, confront your shortcomings and make the necessary adjustments.

Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 25-28

 Date: Tuesday, 13^th May, 2025

 Text:   1 Corinthians 10:12-13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

I heard the story of a missionary who went to village of drunkards to preach the gospel to them. Unfortunately, the drunkards converted him and he became a worse drunkard than the people he met in the village. The drunkards had won his soul to the devil!

Drifting and backsliding takes place subtly; with little, little compromises here and there. When things that were not hitherto allowed begins to creep unnoticed into your life and you begin to react by saying the seemingly inconsequential, “It doesn’t matter.”

The devil is a serpent (Revelation 12:9).  Animal psychologists say, a snake can live in a house for a whole year unnoticed. The devil can patiently hide in a man’s life and influence his backsliding for over thirty years until he causes a permanent separation between the fellow and his God, if allowed.

One of the problems Peter had was his overconfidence. He was so sure he wouldn’t deny Christ even when the Lord warned him that he was going to deny him repeatedly . Instead of him to cry to God for grace to remain steadfast, he was so confident that he had the ability to stand in the face of trials.

We all know he denied the Lord three times- Matthew 26:69-75. Where was his self-confidence? It was gone with the winds!

The word of God says, “Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. “ 1 Corinthians 10:12-13

Action Nugget: Heed to the Lord’s warning for us always watch and pray so that we fall not into temptations- Matthew 26:41.

Text:   2 Corinthians 13:5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A student who waits for the examination day before attempting likely questions may not likely come out with flying colours.

For example, a smart Mathematics student would have solved plenty of likely examination questions  and so gained mastery and speed in solving likely exam questions. This is the wisdom behind self examination.

A student who has overwhelmingly examined himself using several practice texts will enter the actual examination with confidence that he has sufficiently prepared for the D-Day. This is also the wisdom behind mock examinations. It psychologically prepares student for the real test by simulating  the conditions and format of an actual exam, helping students identify their weaknesses and measure their levels of preparedness.

The word of God says, “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27

Many have died and gone to Hell because they lived their lives without examining themselves.

The word of God says, “Test and evaluate yourselves to see whether you are in the faith and living your lives as [committed] believers. Examine yourselves [not me]! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves [by an ongoing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test and are rejected as counterfeit? 2 Corinthians 13:5 AMP

“For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.” 1 Corinthians 11:31

One reason why we should read, study and meditate on the word of God daily is to examine ourselves; measuring our lives against the standard of God’s word.

Action Nugget: Using the word of God as the yardstick, open up your heart for a thorough self examination.

Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 17-20

Text: 1 Peter 5:8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

There is a saying that a man’s meat is another man’s poison. A situation that bring tears to someone’s face also brings smiles to another. Let me illustrate my assertion. An average person prays to God to live long. If any body sees a coffin in his dreams, he immediately starts to pray and reject it, right?

But we all know that some people’s legitimate business is casket making. They make caskets of varying sizes for both the old and the young. If a casket manufacturer prays to God for rapid sales; for example if he prays and says, “God please, let me sell at least 500 coffins per month” and God decides to answer the prayer what do you think that implies? Or has he sinned by praying to sell rapidly?

May you not be a victim but a victor in the battle of life in Jesus name.

Imagine another scenario in which a pharmacist who has invested so much money in producing antimalaria, cough and catarrh drugs. If his business is not moving as he expects and he prays to God for boom in the sale of his drugs; if God decides to answer his prayer, what do you think will happen?

As you are praying to God not to fall sick, the pharmacist is praying for the opportunity to sell his drugs. Whose prayer will God answer?

You are praying against anything that can lead you to a court case; but the lawyer is praying to God that he should have many people with court cases coming to him with their legal fees. Whose prayer will God answer?

The above scenarios and more point to the fact that there is a great struggle going on in the realm of the spirit. You can’t afford to be careless and indifferent.

Watch and pray so that the devil will not kick you around like a football. The word of God says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8

Prophetic Nugget: May you not be a victim but a victor in the battles of life in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 12-16

Text: Psalm 91:1-13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

I once heard the story of private ambulance owner who approached a popular motor park and requested for permission to station his vehicle in the park as a way of advertisement. He was permitted and he stationed his vehicle there.

However, they noticed that strange accidents became rampant from that moment. So the owner of the ambulance was making a lot of sales.

This unprecedented or unusual rates of accident became alarming and the leadership of the motor pack decided to meet and discuss what could be fishy. During this meeting, one of the excos stood up and called the attention of the others to the fact that the accidents became so rampant from the time the ambulance was stationed in the motor park.

They eventually agreed that the owner of the ambulance should relocate it away from the motor park; and from this time on the unusual rate of accident was stemmed.

A witch was confessing all her atrocities in the presence of one of the most renown bishops in Africa. She revealed to him that whenever they wanted to suck human blood, they will strategically station themselves on the highway and manipulate the situation so as to cause ghastly motor accidents that claimed lives.

The Bishop asked her what they do when they see a true child of God approaching. The witch confessed that whenever a true child of God was approaching the highway, they would have seen the bright light of God shinning from their foreheads; and they all scatter only to regroup after God’s children have passed.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
thosewho put their trust in God and  make the Lord, their refuge and fortress, shall surely be saved from the snare of the fowlers.

Prophetic Nugget: May you not fall prey to the enemy in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 8-11

Text: Daniel 6:1-24

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Both the prey and predator are created by God and they are meant to live out their days under the care of the Most High. Their unique nature and feeding patterns, namely carnivorous (flesh eater) and herbivorous (herb eater) were designed by God.

The predator and prey wake up every morning seeking for how to survive. For example, the lion looks up to God daily for its food; so does the deer. Whose prayer will God answer? Is it the prayer of the prey or that of the predator?

I once put this question to my children and I got different answers. The hawk hovers up in the sky looking for chicks to feed on. However, a chick that refuses to heed the warnings of the mother hen will surely be food for the hawk.

So a disobedient or rebellious prey will likely be an answer to the prayer of the predator. Look at the case of Daniel in the lion’s den. The lions, though hungry, could not consume him because god sent his angels and they shut the mouth of the lions. Why? The bible says, innocence was found in Daniel.

But God was still committed to answering the prayers of the hungry lions. So he fed the cats with the flesh of the men who had falsely accused Daniel. They were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones- Daniel 6:24.

So in the sovereignty of God, he feeds both the predator and the prey.

Reflective Nugget: Those who choose to tow the path of obedience like Daniel will be delivered from the den of the lions.

Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 1-7

Text: Exodus 17:8-13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Behind the scenes both the forces of good and evil have their agenda and they write their scripts programming it to be acted on the stage of human life. Whose script you will play out depends on whose side you are on.

When there was a war between Joshua and the Amalekites, Moses was at the background with his hands lifted up. As long as Moses held up his arms, the Israelites won, but when he got tired and put his arms down, the Amalekites started winning.

When Moses’ arms grew tired, he was assisted by Aaron and Hur who brought a stone for him to sit on, while they stood beside him and held up his arms, holding them steady until the sun went down. In this way Joshua totally defeated the Amalekite- Exodus 17:11-13.

The Israelites had the upper hand when Moses’ hands remained lifted because then the host of Heaven took the lead in the battle but when his hands became weary and came down, the Amalekites had the upperhand because then the Israelites fought without divine assistance.

Are you already getting tired of lifting up your hands to the One who has power to fight for you?

Whenever you get tired  fight with your power alone, you lose the battle. Ask the Lord to strengthen you as you keep your hands lifted.

Spiritual battles are neither fought with physical weapons nor psychological tools. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ- 2 Corinthians 10:4-5.

Engage the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and pull down the strongholds of the enemy in your life in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, as I lift up my hands in faith and obedience, strengthen me and grant me victory in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 1 Chronicles 27-29

Text: Ephesians 6:12-13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When I was in Kaduna State, Northwestern Nigeria, a Senior Pastor in our church shared his experience after a vigil on a certain night. The vigil had ended around 2am and he was headed home. As he drove home, he reached a particular roundabout where he saw some witches and wizards having a strange meeting around this strategic location. He knew something diabolical was going on but he couldn’t place his finger on what exactly the coven was up to.

At about 2pm that same day, a ghastly motor accident took place around the same spot where the witches met earlier in the day. When the pastor heard the sad news he remembered the ugly sight he saw earlier in the morning.

A superficial observer would have blamed this accident on some physical factors like bad driving, terrible roads and other human considerations. However, behind the scene, the real programmers of the evil incident were not visible at the sight of the accident.

Today’s text says, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:12-13

You need to surrender your life to the Lordship of Jesus and always prayerfully redeem each day from every evil program set up against it. May you not be a victim of blood sucking demons in Jesus name. You will not fall into the trap of the enemy in Jesus name.

Prophetic Nugget: On a daily basis, you will not be a victim  of evil script writers and programmers behind the scenes  but a victor in Jesus Name.
