Text: Luke 19:8–10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Working out your salvation involves more than professing faith in Christ; it also requires making right the wrongs of the past wherever possible. Restitution is a biblical expression of genuine repentance. It demonstrates a sincere desire to obey God by correcting past mistakes and living with integrity before Him and before men.

Zacchaeus is a remarkable example of this principle. After encountering Jesus, he voluntarily declared, “If I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold” (Luke 19:8). His willingness to make restitution proved that his repentance was genuine. A transformed heart will always produce transformed actions.

As much as it lies within your power, return what does not belong to you, fulfil your obligations, and seek to restore broken relationships where appropriate. The Scripture says, “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another” (Romans 13:8). A clear conscience before God and man brings peace, strengthens your testimony, and removes unnecessary hindrances to your spiritual growth.

Action Nugget: Prayerfully examine your life today. If there is anyone you have wronged, anything you need to return, or any matter requiring restitution, take practical steps to make it right.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 20–24

Date: Monday, 20th July, 2026

Text: 1 Corinthians 9:27

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The doctrine of eternal security which says, “Once saved, forever saved,” is not of God. The Christian life requires continual vigilance, perseverance, and obedience. The Apostle Paul declared, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest… after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). If an apostle could exercise such caution, every believer must guard against spiritual complacency.

Paul’s testimony is a solemn reminder that even those who preach the Gospel must remain watchful. Therefore, Scripture commands us to “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith” (2 Corinthians 13:5). We must never assume that yesterday’s victory guarantees tomorrow’s success. “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12).

Our confidence should never rest in past experiences but in a present, living relationship with Christ. As we walk daily in humility, holiness, and obedience to God’s Word, His grace will keep and preserve us to the very end.

Action Nugget: Take time today to examine your spiritual life honestly before God. Repent of every known sin, renew your commitment to Christ.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 15–19

Date: Sunday, 19th July, 2026

Text: Philippians 2:12–13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Salvation is the beginning of the Christian journey, not the end of it. The Apostle Paul exhorts believers to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12). This does not mean we earn our salvation by works, for we are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9). Rather, it means we must continually live out the reality of our salvation through daily obedience, spiritual growth, and dependence on God’s grace.

As long as we remain in this world, we must guard our hearts against sin, compromise, and spiritual complacency. The Christian life demands perseverance, watchfulness, and intentional devotion. We are called to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to shape our character and conform us to the image of Christ.

One of the clearest evidences of a growing Christian is the pursuit of peace and holiness. The Bible declares, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). A holy life is not optional for the believer; it is the natural fruit of a genuine relationship with Christ and the pathway to continual fellowship with God.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to live out my salvation with reverence and sincerity, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 12–14

Date: Saturday, 18th July, 2026

Text: John 6:57

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus said, “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on Me will live because of Me” (John 6:57). The Christian life is sustained by Christ Himself. He is not merely the source of life at salvation but the continual source of strength, wisdom, and grace.

Living by Christ means depending on Him in every circumstance rather than relying on our own understanding. His life becomes our pattern, His Word our guide, and His Spirit our strength. As we continually draw from Him, we experience victory over sin, courage in adversity, and joy in every season.

The world offers many things that promise satisfaction but ultimately leave the soul empty. Only Christ provides lasting fulfillment. Those who make Him the centre of their lives discover that His grace is always sufficient and His power is made perfect in weakness.

Let Christ be your daily source of life. Depend on Him in every decision, trust Him in every trial, and glorify Him in every success. Those who continually live by Him will enjoy abundant life here and everlasting life with Him forever.

Prayer Nugget: Father, teach me to depend on Christ in every area of my life. May Your Son remain my daily source of strength, wisdom, and everlasting joy, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 9-11

Date: Friday, 17th July, 2026

Text: Galatians 6:7–8; 2 Timothy 2:19

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Life is governed by God’s unchanging principles, one of which is the law of sowing and reaping. The Scripture declares, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7). Every thought, word, and action is a seed, and every seed eventually produces a harvest. You cannot sow orange and expect to reap pawpaw; your harvest will always reflect the nature of your seed, often in far greater measure.

Sadly, many people sow seeds of dishonesty, bitterness, immorality, and disobedience while expecting peace, favour, and blessings. They assume that the passage of time will erase the consequences of their actions. But God’s principles do not change. Though judgment may not come immediately, every seed has an appointed harvest, and the past often returns to demand an account.

The good news is that through genuine repentance and the mercy of God, evil seeds can be uprooted before they produce a destructive harvest. Sin should never be ignored, excused, or hidden beneath the carpet. Instead, it should be confessed, forsaken, and replaced with seeds of righteousness, obedience, love, and holiness. God’s grace is available to everyone who truly turns back to Him.

God knows those who belong to Him. Therefore, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19). Deliberately living in sin while repeatedly presuming upon God’s mercy is not repentance—it is treating His grace with contempt. Choose today to sow seeds that will produce a harvest of righteousness, peace, and eternal reward.

Action Nugget: Take time today to examine your life and identify any wrong seeds you may be sowing through your words, attitudes, or actions. Repent sincerely, make the necessary corrections, and intentionally sow seeds of obedience, integrity, and love that will yield a righteous and abundant harvest.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 4–8

Date: Thursday, 16th July, 2026

Text: 2 Corinthians 11:13–15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

If there is a True Light, there are also false lights. The Bible warns that “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). Not everything that appears attractive, miraculous, or convincing originates from God. The enemy often disguises deception as truth, making discernment an indispensable virtue for every believer.

False lights come in many forms—false doctrines, counterfeit miracles, worldly philosophies, sinful pleasures, and deceptive voices that subtly lead people away from Christ. They promise freedom but produce bondage; they appear to offer life but ultimately lead to destruction. This is why believers must test every spirit and measure every teaching against the unchanging Word of God (1 John 4:1).

Jesus alone is the True Light that gives life and leads to the Father (John 1:9; John 14:6). His light never contradicts Scripture, never promotes sin, and never glorifies man above God. The Holy Spirit always points us to Christ, while every counterfeit light seeks to exalt self, confuse the truth, or draw hearts away from complete obedience to God.

Do not be carried away by appearances, emotions, or spectacular experiences. Stay rooted in God’s Word, remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and cultivate a close relationship with Christ. The closer you walk with the True Light, the easier it becomes to recognize and reject every counterfeit light that seeks to deceive you.

Prayer Nugget: Father, sharpen my spiritual discernment and keep me from every counterfeit light. Help me to walk continually in the light of Christ and never be deceived by the enemy, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Isaiah 1–3

Date: Wednesday, 15th July, 2026

Text: John 1:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus Christ is the True Light who gives light to everyone who comes into the world (John 1:9). In a world filled with darkness, confusion, and deception, He alone reveals the truth that leads to life. Those who walk with Christ no longer stumble in darkness because His light illuminates their path (John 8:12).

The Word of God is both life and light. John declares, “In Him was life; and the life was the light of men” (John 1:4). We cannot survive spiritually apart from God’s Word. Just as the body depends on food for strength, the soul depends on the living Word for direction, growth, and victory over sin.

Whenever believers neglect God’s Word, spiritual weakness and darkness gradually set in. But those who meditate on it daily enjoy divine wisdom and clear direction. As the psalmist declared, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105). God’s Word exposes error, strengthens faith, and leads us safely through life’s journey.

Friend, remain connected to Christ, the True Light, and make His Word your daily companion. Let it shape your thoughts, guide your decisions, and direct your steps. As you walk in His light, you will experience His life, avoid the traps of darkness, and become a light to others.

Prayer Nugget: Father, let the light of Christ continually shine in my heart. Help me to live by Your Word every day, so that I may walk in Your truth and never stumble into darkness, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Songs of Solomon 5–8

Date: Tuesday, 14th July, 2026

Text: John 6:56

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus said, “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him” (John 6:56). This speaks of an intimate and continuous relationship with Christ. Christianity is not merely following religious practices; it is living in constant fellowship with the Lord.

To abide in Christ is to remain connected to Him through faith, obedience, and dependence. Just as a branch cannot survive apart from the vine, believers cannot flourish apart from Christ (John 15:5). Our strength, wisdom, peace, and fruitfulness all flow from this abiding relationship.

The more we abide in Christ, the more His character becomes evident in our lives. His love shapes our relationships, His peace guards our hearts, and His wisdom directs our decisions. Abiding transforms believers from the inside out.

Therefore, cultivate a lifestyle of abiding. Spend time daily in prayer, meditation, and worship. Let nothing disconnect you from your fellowship with Christ, for in His presence is fullness of life.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to remain steadfast in You every day. Let my life remain deeply rooted in Christ, producing lasting fruit for Your glory, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Songs of Solomon 1-4

Date: Monday, 13th July, 2026

Text: John 6:53–54

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus taught that unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood, we have no life in us (John 6:53). He was pointing beyond physical food to the necessity of continually depending on Him. Spiritual life cannot survive on yesterday’s experience; it requires daily nourishment from Christ.

Just as the body weakens without food, the spirit becomes weak without regular fellowship with God. Prayer, Bible study, worship, and obedience are the spiritual meals through which we continually feed on Christ. These disciplines keep our hearts strong, our faith vibrant, and our lives firmly rooted in God.

Many believers desire spiritual maturity while neglecting spiritual nourishment. Growth comes through consistency. The more we feed on God’s Word and commune with Christ, the more His nature is formed within us, enabling us to overcome temptation and remain steadfast in every season.

Make it your daily habit to feed on Christ. Let His Word shape your decisions, His presence refresh your soul, and His Spirit strengthen your inner man. Those who continually feed on Him will never suffer spiritual starvation.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me a deeper hunger for Your Word and Your presence. Help me to feed on Christ daily and grow into spiritual maturity, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Ecclesiates 9-12

Date: Sunday, 12th July, 2026

Text: Luke 6:46; John 1:12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus is Lord over all, but He does not force His Lordship upon anyone. God has given every person the freedom to choose whether to receive or reject Him. “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God” (John 1:12). Becoming God’s child begins with receiving Christ and surrendering your life to Him.

Calling Jesus “Lord” is more than a religious expression; it is a commitment to obey Him. Jesus asked, “Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46). Genuine lordship is demonstrated not merely by our words but by our willingness to submit to His authority and follow His commands.

Many profess Christ with their lips while living independently of His will. True discipleship demands daily obedience, even when it is difficult or inconvenient. When Jesus truly becomes Lord of your life, His Word governs your decisions, your priorities, your relationships, and your lifestyle.

Today, examine your heart honestly. Is Jesus merely your Saviour, or is He truly your Lord? A life fully surrendered to Christ enjoys His guidance, protection, and blessings. Make the conscious decision to obey Him wholeheartedly, for His Lordship always leads to abundant and eternal life.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me not only to call Jesus my Lord but to obey Him wholeheartedly. Let my life reflect complete surrender to His will every day, in Jesus’ name.
