Text:  1 Corinthians 4:2

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Discipleship reshapes how we handle money and resources because God requires faithfulness from those entrusted with anything (1 Corinthians 4:2). The way we manage what God places in our care reveals our priorities and the condition of our hearts. A true disciple understands that finances are a trust from God, meant to serve His purposes rather than personal pride or status.

God calls His people to be faithful stewards through obedience in tithing (Malachi 3:10), cheerful generosity (2 Corinthians 9:7), and consistent support of kingdom work (Philippians 4:15–17). Giving is not a loss but a spiritual investment, reflecting the generous heart of God revealed in Christ (John 3:16).

Faithful stewardship also demands discipline. Disciples are to plan wisely, manage resources responsibly, save where possible, and avoid unnecessary debt (Proverbs 22:7). Carelessness and waste reduce kingdom impact, but faithfulness positions believers for greater trust and responsibility (Matthew 25:20–21).

At its core, stewardship is a matter of the heart, not merely finances. When resources are surrendered to God, fear gives way to faith, dependence shifts from possessions to God as Provider, and obedience releases peace, favor, and blessing (Proverbs 3:9–10). In this way, stewardship becomes worship lived out in everyday life.

Prayer Nugget: Father, teach me to steward my resources faithfully and honor you with all I have in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: James 1-5

Date: Sunday, 21st December 2025

Text:  Hebrews 13:17

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Accountability protects disciples from error and isolation. God appoints spiritual leaders to guide, correct, and strengthen His people (Jeremiah 3:15). Scripture reminds us to obey our leaders because they watch over our souls (Hebrews 13:17). A disciple who rejects accountability walks into danger without protection.

It also helps to prevent pride and hidden blind spots. Even Paul submitted himself to the apostles for confirmation and guidance (Galatians 2:1–2). Godly leadership brings wisdom, counsel, and safety (Proverbs 11:14). When a believer isolates himself, deception grows; submission, however, leads to healthy spiritual growth.

For accountability to be effective, honesty is required. Disciples must be open about their weaknesses, struggles, and temptations. Confession leads to healing (James 5:16). While hidden sin gains strength in secrecy, exposed sin loses its power. Accountability is not bondage; it is a form of divine protection.

Embracing accountability leads to faster growth, fewer falls, and deeper maturity. God entrusts greater responsibility to those who willingly submit to authority. Through accountability, character is refined and spiritual foundations are strengthened.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the humility to submit to godly leadership and to grow through wise counsel in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Hebrews 5-13

Date: Saturday, 20th December 2025

Text:  2 Timothy 3:12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Persecution is part of discipleship. “All who live godly shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). The world opposes holiness because it exposes darkness (John 3:19–20). A disciple must expect resistance—mockery, rejection, or opposition for righteousness’ sake.

Persecution purifies faith (1 Peter 1:7). It removes fear, strengthens resilience, and deepens intimacy with Christ. Paul saw persecution as fellowship with Jesus’ suffering (Philippians 3:10). Disciples grow stronger when faith is tested.

Persecution reveals who truly belongs to Christ. Seed planted among thorns withers under pressure (Matthew 13:20–21). But true disciples stand, endure, and shine brighter. God sustains His own through every storm (Isaiah 43:2).

There is reward for those who endure persecution (Matthew 5:11–12). Glory follows suffering (Romans 8:18). Persecution is not punishment—it is privilege. It proves your identity and aligns you with Christ’s journey.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, strengthen me to endure persecution with joy and unwavering faith in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Hebrews 1-4

Date: Friday, 19th December 2025

Text:  Ephesians 6:12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Discipleship is warfare. The moment you choose Christ, you declare war on darkness. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12). Satan targets disciples because they threaten his kingdom. A disciple must be armed, alert, and anchored in truth.

Spiritual warfare requires knowing your authority in Christ (Luke 10:19) and standing firm on the Word (Matthew 4:10). You defeat the enemy through faith (1 John 5:4), prayer (Ephesians 6:18), and righteousness (James 5:16). Warfare is not fear-based but faith-based.

A disciple must resist the devil consistently (James 4:7). The enemy studies weaknesses, plants temptations, and crafts distractions. Vigilance is essential (1 Peter 5:8). A prayerless disciple will always be powerless in battle, but a prayerful disciple becomes a conqueror.

Victory belongs to those who stand their ground. Christ already won the war (Colossians 2:15); the disciple enforces that victory daily. Warfare shapes strength, maturity, and authority. Conquerors emerge from battles fought with God.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, strengthen me for every spiritual battle and make me victorious through Christ.

Bible in One Year: Philemon 1; Titus 1-3

Text:  Mark 10:43–45

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

True disciples serve. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be great must be a servant” (Mark 10:43). Service is the pathway to spiritual promotion. A disciple serves with humility, excellence, and joy—not for recognition, but for kingdom advancement. Service is worship in motion.

Service requires sacrifice of time, convenience, and personal preference (Romans 12:11). A disciple sees needs and meets them. Jesus washed His disciples’ feet to demonstrate servant leadership (John 13:14–15). The highest calling is not titles but towels.

Service purifies motives. It exposes pride, entitlement, and laziness. God elevates those who serve faithfully in hidden places (Luke 16:10). David served in obscurity before reigning publicly. Service builds patience, character, and spiritual sensitivity.

A serving disciple attracts God’s grace. Service reproduces Christ’s nature in us, for He came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). When disciples serve, the church thrives, the kingdom expands, and God is glorified. Service is discipleship in action.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the heart of a servant and the grace to serve faithfully in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 2Timothy 1-4

Date: Wednesday, 17th December 2025

Text:  Matthew 28:19–20

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A disciple is a witness. Jesus commissioned His disciples, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Evangelism is not a gift for a few but a mandate for all. A silent disciple becomes an ineffective one. The gospel spreads through voices willing to speak.

Evangelism is powered by compassion (Matthew 9:36). We preach because souls matter. Hell is real (Revelation 20:15), eternity is certain (Hebrews 9:27), and Christ is the only way (John 14:6). A disciple shares the gospel boldly, lovingly, and urgently.

Evangelism requires preparation—knowing the Word (1 Peter 3:15), being led by the Spirit (Acts 8:29), and living a life that validates the message (Philippians 2:15–16). A disciple’s lifestyle is a sermon before any words are spoken.

When a disciple evangelizes, heaven rejoices (Luke 15:7), angels support, and the Spirit empowers. Evangelism deepens spiritual maturity because sharing strengthens faith. Every disciple must see themselves as God’s messenger to their generation.

Prayer Nugget: Father, make me a bold and effective witness of your gospel in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 1 Timothy 1-6

Date: Tuesday, 16th December 2025

Text:  John 13:35

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Love is the identity of a disciple. Jesus declared, “By this all men shall know you are My disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35). Love is not emotion but sacrifice (1 John 3:16). It forgives, covers, restores, and builds. A loveless disciple is a contradiction to the nature of Christ.

Love requires dying to pride, bitterness, and revenge. It demands patience (1 Corinthians 13:4–7) and humility (Philippians 2:3). Love is warfare against the flesh, but it is the fruit of the Spirit within (Galatians 5:22). Real disciples love even when it hurts.

Love transforms communities, marriages, churches, and nations. It overcomes evil with good (Romans 12:21) and shines light in dark places (Matthew 5:14–16). Love is not weakness; it is spiritual strength. Satan fears a loving disciple because love destroys his influence.

Love proves spiritual maturity. Gifts do not guarantee discipleship—love does (1 Corinthians 13:1–3). A disciple must ask daily: “Does my life reveal Christ’s love?” When love becomes your nature, Christ becomes visible through you. That visibility is discipleship.

Prayer Nugget: Father, fill my heart with your love and let it overflow to others in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 2 Thessalonians 1-3

Date: Monday, 15th December 2025

Text:  2 Peter 3:18

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A true disciple must keep growing. Staying the same spiritually is dangerous because it can lead to wrong beliefs, pride, and compromise. The Bible tells us to “grow in grace and knowledge” (2 Peter 3:18). Spiritual growth does not happen by accident—it comes through prayer, studying God’s Word, fellowship with others, obedience, and self-examination. No disciple ever outgrows these basics.

We grow by feeding on God’s Word (Jeremiah 15:16), being filled with the Holy Spirit (John 7:37–39), and practicing our faith (Hebrews 5:14). Growth moves us from spiritual weakness to strength and from emotional faith to a firm understanding of truth. God grows His people step by step, not overnight.

As we grow, God shows us attitudes and habits that need to change. This can be uncomfortable, but it is necessary. A disciple must accept correction (Proverbs 12:1), allow God to remove what is not helpful (John 15:2), and listen to godly guidance. True growth requires humility, patience, and consistent effort—there are no shortcuts.

A growing disciple becomes useful to God. Growth brings wisdom, strength, and fruitfulness. It helps us become more like Christ and increases our impact for God’s kingdom. When a disciple grows, God is pleased and the enemy loses ground. Growth shows that discipleship is real.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, help me to grow every day in grace, truth, and spiritual maturity in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 1 Thessalonians 1-5

Date: Sunday, 14th December 2025

Text:  Romans 12:1

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Sacrifice is the fragrance of discipleship. Paul said, “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1). Sacrifice is not pain—it is worship. A disciple gives time, strength, resources, and comfort for kingdom purpose. Love always sacrifices (John 3:16); discipleship reflects divine love.

God uses sacrifice to enlarge capacity. Abraham sacrificed Isaac and became the father of nations (Genesis 22:16–18). David refused to offer to God what cost him nothing (2 Samuel 24:24). Sacrifice breaks selfishness, expands faith, and creates room for greater glory.

Sacrifice distinguishes disciples from followers. Followers seek benefits; disciples seek transformation. Followers pursue convenience; disciples pursue covenant. Sacrifice reveals commitment, maturity, and kingdom alignment (Philippians 3:7–8). What you sacrifice for God never disappears—it becomes seed.

Every disciple must sacrifice comfort to pray, sleep to study, resources to give, pride to obey, and convenience to grow. Sacrifice is not loss; it is investment. God rewards every surrendered thing with multiplied grace (Mark 10:29–30). What leaves your hand enters God’s harvest field.

Prayer Nugget: Father, make my life a willing sacrifice that honors you daily in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Colossians 1-4

Date: Saturday, 13th December 2025

Text:  Romans 8:14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

No one can be a disciple without the Holy Spirit. “As many as are led by the Spirit… they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). The Spirit empowers, instructs, convicts, comforts, and directs. Discipleship without the Spirit becomes empty religion; discipleship with the Spirit becomes transformation.

The Holy Spirit is the Teacher who unveils truth (John 14:26). He opens Scripture, reveals mysteries (1 Corinthians 2:10), and whispers divine strategies. A disciple must cultivate sensitivity to His voice—He speaks through Scripture, impressions, counsel, and inner witness (Romans 8:16).

The Spirit also produces fruit—love, joy, peace, and more (Galatians 5:22–23). These fruits are not achieved by effort but produced by surrender. Gifts demonstrate the Spirit upon you; fruit reveals the Spirit within you. A disciple must cultivate both, but fruit qualifies us for deeper authority.

The Spirit empowers disciples for assignment (Acts 1:8). Without Him, zeal becomes frustration; with Him, weakness becomes strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). He transforms ordinary men into kingdom ambassadors. Discipleship begins with following Jesus but matures with following the Spirit.

Prayer Nugget: Holy Spirit, lead me, teach me, and empower me to follow Christ faithfully in Jesus name.
