Pray for your Leaders (2)

Title: Saturday, 21st March, 2026

Text: 2 Samuel 24:10–15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Imagine you are in a car driven by a chauffeur, yet you begin to wish the driver evil simply because you dislike him. Or picture yourself on an airplane, hoping the pilot does not land safely because of personal bias. This may sound strange, yet it reflects what many do when they curse or wish evil upon their leaders.

Every right-thinking passenger desires a safe landing regardless of personal feelings toward the driver or pilot. This is because if the one in control goes down, everyone connected to that journey is affected. In the same way, whether we like our leaders or not, our safety and well-being are tied to their decisions and outcomes.

The Scriptures reveal how leadership decisions can impact an entire nation, as seen when David numbered Israel (2 Samuel 24:10–15; 1 Chronicles 21:1–14). Though it was the king’s personal error, about seventy thousand men perished as a result of that single act. This shows that private decisions of leaders can have widespread consequences on the people they govern.

The Bible also declares, “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered” (Zechariah 13:7).
If the enemy desires to destabilize a nation, targeting its leadership becomes a strategic point of attack. Therefore, wisdom demands that we pray for our leaders, covering them so that their decisions align with God’s purpose.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, preserve our leaders from error and let their decisions bring peace and not suffering to the people in Jesus name.

Pray for your Leaders

Date: Friday, 20th March, 2026

Text: 1 Timothy 2:1–2

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the reasons we must pray for our leaders is because the Word of God commands it, urging that supplications and intercessions be made for all, especially those in authority (1 Timothy 2:1–2). This instruction is not optional but a divine responsibility placed upon every believer. Through obedience, we align ourselves with God’s will for peace, order, and godliness in the land.

We must also understand that the spiritual controls the physical, and nothing happens in the visible without roots in the unseen. The Scripture says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord… He turns it wherever He wishes” (Proverbs 21:1). Through prayer, we invite God to influence decisions, replacing confusion with wisdom and establishing righteousness.

There are unseen forces that seek to manipulate leaders to serve ungodly interests and personal agendas. The Bible shows how leaders can be influenced negatively (2 Samuel 24:1; 1 Chronicles 21:1), but prayer can overturn such control. Consistent intercession becomes a shield, preserving leaders from error and redirecting them to God’s purpose.

When leaders are guided by God, the people experience peace, stability, and progress.
Scripture affirms that when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice (Proverbs 29:2).
Therefore, let us remain faithful in praying for our leaders, trusting God to guide them in truth, justice, and wisdom.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, guide the hearts of our leaders and establish your righteousness in every decision they make in Jesus name.

The Narrow Way

Date: Thursday, 19th March, 2026

Text: Matthew 7:13–14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Many are quick to do evil because it aligns with the natural desires of the flesh. The broad way is attractive, easy, and widely accepted, which makes it comfortable for many to follow. Jesus said, “Wide is the gate… that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at” (Matthew 7:13).

Throughout Scripture, we see that most of the kings of Judah chose evil, while only a few remained righteous. This reveals a pattern: righteousness requires discipline, conviction, and a heart devoted to God. It is always easier to descend than to ascend, just as it is easier to follow the crowd than to stand apart.

The narrow way, though difficult, leads to life and eternal reward. It demands self-denial, obedience, and a consistent walk with God. But “Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:14).

Friend, do not measure your life by the majority, but by God’s standard. Choose the narrow path even when it is unpopular, for it leads to true life. In the end, it is better to stand in righteousness than to be comfortable in destruction.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, help me to walk in the narrow way regardless of the cost.
Give me the strength to stand for righteousness in every situation in Jesus name.

God Is Never Late

Date: Wednesday, 18th March, 2026

Text: 2 Peter 3:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Sometimes we feel God is slow because His answers do not come at our expected time. Human timing often conflicts with divine timing, leading to doubt and impatience. Yet Scripture assures us, “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise…” (2 Peter 3:9).

God’s delays are not denials but part of His perfect plan for our lives. He works with precision, ensuring that every promise is fulfilled at the right moment. For “the vision is yet for an appointed time… though it tarry, wait for it” (Habakkuk 2:3).

Impatience can cause believers to step outside God’s will and miss His best. Waiting on God builds faith, strengthens character, and prepares us for the blessings ahead. Those who trust His timing will never be put to shame.

Beloved, remain steadfast and hold on to God’s promises. He is faithful to fulfill every word He has spoken concerning you. As you wait patiently, your season of manifestation will surely come.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, help me to trust your timing and never doubt your faithfulness in Jesus name.

Called to the Banquet

Date: Tuesday, 17th March, 2026

Text: Matthew 22:1–14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus, in the Parable of the Wedding Banquet, reveals God’s heart as He invites many to partake in His prepared feast. Yet those first invited made excuses and refused to come, showing how easily people neglect divine invitations. Scripture reminds us, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God…” (Matthew 6:33).

The King then opened the invitation to all, bringing in people from the streets—both good and bad. This shows that God’s call to salvation is available to everyone, regardless of background. As it is written, “whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17).

However, one man was found without a wedding garment and was cast out, revealing that acceptance requires transformation. It is not enough to be invited; one must be clothed in righteousness and prepared for the King. God desires not just attendance, but a changed life.

Beloved, many are called, but few are chosen. Respond to God’s invitation with a sincere heart and a transformed life. Remain ready, for the banquet is prepared for those who are clothed in Christ.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to respond rightly to your call, clothe me with righteousness and make me worthy of your kingdom in Jesus name.

Rising Above Tribulations (6)

Title: Rising Above Tribulations (6)

Date: Monday, 16th March, 2026

Text: Romans 8:18

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The concluding perspective on tribulation is the promise of future glory. The Apostle Paul reminds believers that present sufferings cannot be compared with the glory that shall be revealed. Tribulation may be painful, but it is temporary, while the glory prepared by God is eternal.

God often allows trials in the present while preparing greater blessings ahead. Just as a farmer waits patiently for the harvest, believers must endure present difficulties with hope and confidence in God’s promises. Every season of hardship carries within it the seed of a greater testimony.

Even Jesus Christ endured the cross because of the joy set before Him, as written in Hebrews 12:2. His endurance teaches believers that suffering is never the final chapter for those who belong to God. Beyond the pain of the cross came the triumph of resurrection.

The believer’s story does not end in tribulation. God has the power to turn trials into testimonies and battles into breakthroughs. His purpose is always to lead His children into a future filled with hope, victory, and divine glory.

Therefore lift up your eyes beyond today’s challenges. The God who sustained you yesterday will strengthen you today and lead you into tomorrow’s victory. In Christ, every believer has the assurance of rising above tribulation.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, turn every tribulation in my life into a testimony of your power in Jesus name.

Happy Mothers’ Day

Rising Above Tribulations (5)

Date: Saturday, 14th March, 2026

Text: 2 Corinthians 1:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation

One purpose of tribulation is to teach believers dependence on God. Human strength often proves insufficient in the face of serious challenges. In such moments, believers learn to rely fully on divine help. As the Apostle Paul declared in 2 Corinthians 1:9, the trial he faced made him realize that he should not trust in himself but in God who raises the dead.

Tribulation humbles the heart and redirects confidence toward the Lord. Through such experiences, faith becomes deeper and more sincere. What appears as weakness often becomes the doorway through which believers encounter the power and faithfulness of God in a new and profound way.

When life flows smoothly, people may depend on their abilities and resources. But when storms arise, prayer becomes deeper and faith becomes stronger. Tribulation often pushes believers closer to God and reminds them that true help comes from Him. The Scripture assures us in Psalm 46:1 that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Beloved, allow tribulation to draw you nearer to God rather than away from Him. Every trial is an opportunity to strengthen your trust in the Lord. As you rely on Him more deeply, you will experience His sustaining grace and unfailing power working in your life.

Prayer Nugget: Heavenly Father, please let your grace sustain us and your mighty hand deliver us from every trial in Jesus’ name.

Rising Above Tribulations (4)

Date: Friday, 13th March, 2026

Text: 1 Peter 1:6–7

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Tribulation plays an important role in strengthening the believer’s faith. Just as gold is refined in fire, faith becomes stronger when tested. Trials purify and deepen our trust in God.

The Apostle Peter explains that the trial of faith is more precious than gold. Though gold perishes, genuine faith endures forever. Tribulation therefore becomes a refining process in the hands of God.

Many believers discover their greatest spiritual growth during difficult seasons. Challenges push them closer to God in prayer, worship, and dependence. What appears painful often produces spiritual maturity.

James also encourages believers to count it all joy when facing diverse trials. This is because the testing of faith produces patience and completeness in the believer’s life (James 1:2–4).

Therefore do not despise the refining fire. God is shaping your character and strengthening your faith. After the trial, your life will shine with greater testimony and glory to God.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to trust you; refine my faith through every challenge and let my life bring glory to your name in Jesus name.
