Text:  John 8:31

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A disciple is not merely a church attendee or a casual believer; a disciple is a committed follower of Christ. Jesus said the true mark of discipleship is continuity—continuing in His Word, His truth, and His ways. A disciple is one whose life is shaped, governed, and transformed by Scripture. He follows Christ not occasionally but consistently.

A disciple is a learner, one who sits at the feet of Jesus to receive instruction. He is not guided by the culture of the world but by the teachings of Christ. His heart longs to know God more, to obey His voice, and to reflect His nature. It is a daily pursuit of growth, character, and spiritual maturity.

A disciple is one who denies self. Jesus made it clear: “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself” (Luke 9:23). Self-will, self-glory, and self-pleasure cannot survive in true discipleship. A disciple chooses Christ’s way above convenience, comfort, and personal desires. He prioritizes the kingdom above everything else.

A disciple is one who bears fruit. Jesus said, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples” (John 15:8). A transformed heart eventually produces a transformed life. The disciple’s lifestyle speaks louder than his words. His fruits—love, holiness, integrity, humility—announce who he truly follows.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, make me a true disciple of Christ in heart, character, and obedience in Jesus name.

Text: Galatians 5:24

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Every believer must answer a fundamental question: Where do you belong? Paul makes a bold distinction in Galatians 5:24—those who belong to Christ are known by one mark: they have crucified the flesh. This is not a casual decision; it is a decisive, intentional break from the old life. The flesh represents the sinful nature with its cravings, impulses, and self-centered desires. To belong to Christ is to declare war against everything that once ruled us.

Crucifying the flesh does not mean relying on human strength or moral discipline. It is the work of the Holy Spirit in a surrendered heart. When the Spirit takes the lead, the believer begins to walk in a new pattern marked by love, joy, peace, patience, and self-control. These are not religious behaviours—they are the natural fruits of a life governed by the Spirit. The more we yield, the more His nature is formed within us.

To belong to Christ is to embrace a new identity. The old self no longer dictates your decisions, appetite, or direction. In Christ, we receive the power to say “no” to sin and “yes” to righteousness. Our desires change. Our priorities shift. Our spiritual appetite grows. The identity of the old man dies, and the life of Christ rises within us. This is what marks the true believer.

The question therefore stands before every soul: Where do you belong? Are you ruled by the flesh or led by the Spirit? Do you follow old passions or walk in newness of life? Christ calls His own to live as people who have been bought with a price—separated, empowered, and transformed. To belong to Him is the highest privilege and the greatest responsibility.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, let every work of the flesh die in me, and let the life of Christ reign fully in my heart in Jesus name.
