Text: John 14:15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Obedience is the clearest expression of our love for God. Jesus said plainly, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). True love for God is not measured by words alone but by a willing heart that follows His instructions. Those who obey God enjoy His backing, protection, and approval.

God’s instructions do not always appeal to human logic or comfort. At times, obedience may demand sacrifice, patience, or faith beyond understanding. Yet Scripture assures us that obedience always produces results, for “if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord… all these blessings shall come on thee” (Deuteronomy 28:1). God rewards obedience with undeniable blessings.

Delayed obedience is often disobedience in disguise. When God speaks, He expects a prompt and willing response. The Word of God says, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19). Willing hearts attract swift divine intervention and open the door to God’s best.

As you walk through this year, let obedience become your lifestyle, not a seasonal response. God has promised to open doors that no man can shut for those who walk faithfully with Him (Revelation 3:8). When you obey, God takes responsibility for the outcomes, and your steps are firmly established.

Action Nugget: Identify one instruction God has given you and act on it today.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 39-41

Date: Sunday, 11th January 2026

Text: Hebrews 11:1-6

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Faith is the currency of the Kingdom and the language heaven understands. Scripture declares that “The just shall live by faith” (Habakkuk 2:4), establishing faith as a lifestyle, not an occasional response. Without faith, it is impossible to please God or walk intimately with Him. Faith gives substance to hope and confidence in God’s Word even before results appear.

The New Year will inevitably present uncertainties, unanswered questions, and unfamiliar paths. Yet faith anchors the heart in God’s promises, knowing that,“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). While circumstances speak fear, faith speaks assurance rooted in God’s faithfulness. Those who walk by faith see beyond present realities to divine possibilities.

Every step taken in faith provokes a divine response. God honours those who trust Him completely, for “Without faith it is impossible to please Him” and those who come to Him must believe (Hebrews 11:6). Faith activates heaven’s resources and aligns human obedience with divine power. When faith is exercised, God intervenes with authority and grace.

This year, consciously refuse fear and deliberately embrace faith. What you consistently believe will ultimately shape what you experience, as faith grows by hearing the Word of God. As courage replaces anxiety and confidence replaces doubt, your journey becomes a testimony of God’s glory. Choose to live by faith, and your path will reflect heaven’s reality.

Reflective Nugget: Ask yourself, “What fears must I intentionally replace with faith as I journey through this year?”

Bible in One Year: Genesis 36-38

Text: Exodus 33:14-15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God’s Presence is the difference between exhausting struggle and divine ease. Moses understood this truth when he boldly declared that progress without God was meaningless, choosing to remain stationary rather than move without divine companionship. When God is absent, even noble pursuits become burdensome and unfulfilling.

When the Lord goes with a man, battles are settled before they begin. God assured Moses in Exodus 33:14, “My Presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest,” revealing that rest flows from divine companionship rather than the absence of pressure. This is why Exodus 33:15 records Moses’ resolve not to move an inch without God, knowing that Presence guarantees victory and peace in every season.

Scripture records concerning Joseph that “the Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man” (Genesis 39:2), even while he served as a slave in Potiphar’s house. That same Presence followed him into prison, as seen in Genesis 39:21, where God granted him favour and mercy in confinement. Divine Presence does not wait for ideal conditions; it turns adversity into advantage and obscurity into promotion.

This year, pursue God’s Presence more than visible achievements or quick results. In His Presence there is fullness of joy and divine direction, as revealed in Psalm 16:11. Where God abides, success flows naturally, and destiny unfolds without strain.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, let Your Presence go with me daily. Do not allow me to journey through this year alone in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 32-35

Text: Isaiah 40:29–31

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The journey of a new year demands strength beyond human capacity. Human energy fades, enthusiasm wanes, and motivation can fail, but divine strength never runs dry. God gives power to the faint and multiplies strength to those who acknowledge their weakness (Isaiah 40:29).

Those who wait on the Lord are not idle; they are being divinely recharged. Waiting is not wasting; it is not weakness but spiritual intelligence, a posture that attracts fresh strength from heaven. Such people rise above weariness, discouragement, and delay, soaring on God’s strength rather than struggling on their own (Isaiah 40:31).

God strengthens His people from within, not merely for a moment but for a journey. His strength sustains consistency, enabling believers to move from strength to strength despite pressure and opposition. What human resolve cannot sustain, divine empowerment preserves (Psalm 84:7).

As you walk through this year, daily dependence on God is non-negotiable. Grace is supplied for every season, every assignment, and every challenge. When human strength fails, God’s power is perfected in yielded weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Prayer Nugget: Father, renew my strength for this year. I receive grace to run my race and not grow weary. By Your power, I will finish strong, in Jesus’ name.

Text: Proverbs 16:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God’s direction is the safest and surest path for any journey in life. Scripture reminds us that while man may plan his way, it is the Lord who directs his steps (Proverbs 16:9). When people depend only on their own understanding, they often walk into avoidable regrets. Trusting God’s leading saves us from mistakes we cannot foresee.

The Lord sees the end from the beginning and understands every season ahead of us (Isaiah 46:10). His guidance is shaped by eternal knowledge, not present emotions. At times, God’s instructions may appear unusual or uncomfortable, but they are always purposeful. What seems slow to us is often God positioning us correctly.

When you submit to God’s leading, even delays become part of His plan. Divine direction protects us from dangers we cannot see and troubles we do not expect (Psalm 32:8). God’s guidance is not only about movement; it is also about preservation and timing.

As you journey through this year, choose obedience over convenience. God’s path may appear narrow and demanding, but it leads to life, peace, and lasting fulfilment (Matthew 7:14). Those who follow His direction never walk alone and never walk in vain.

Reflective Nugget: Why are you insisting on your own way instead of yielding to God’s direction?

Bible in One Year: Genesis 26-28

Date: Wednesday, 7^th January, 2026

Text: Ephesians 5:15–16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Time is one of God’s most precious gifts to humanity, and how we use it determines the quality of our lives and destinies. Scripture instructs us to walk wisely, “redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Ephesians 5:15–16). Time wasted may not be recovered, but time invested wisely produces lasting fruit. In 2026, wisdom demands that we treat time as a sacred trust from God.

God operates by times and seasons, and nothing in life becomes fruitful outside its appointed time (Ecclesiastes 3:1). When we ignore time, we dishonour purpose and delay fulfilment. Jesus lived with a clear sense of timing, often declaring, “My time is not yet come” (John 7:6). Effective time management aligns our daily actions with God’s divine schedule.

Poor use of time leads to regret, pressure, and missed opportunities, while discipline brings peace and progress. The Bible warns against laziness and careless living, reminding us that “the plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty” (Proverbs 21:5). Those who value time are able to balance prayer, work, rest, and relationships without confusion.

As you journey through 2026, ask God for grace to number your days wisely. A heart trained to manage time well will walk in purpose and finish strong (Psalm 90:12). May this year not testify against you, but speak of obedience, productivity, and fulfilled assignments to the glory of God.

Action Nugget: Write down your priorities, align them with God’s purpose, and commit to using your time daily in a way that honours Him and advances your destiny.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 24-25

Date: Tuesday, 6^th January, 2026

Text: Proverbs 3:5–6

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The way a thing begins often determines how strong it will be in the end. When you start with God, confusion is reduced and direction becomes clear. Trusting God instead of leaning on your own understanding helps you avoid costly mistakes and wrong turns (Proverbs 3:5–6).

A New Year is like a fresh page, full of possibilities and opportunities. However, wisdom teaches us not to plan alone but to invite God, the Master Builder, to take full control. Without God’s involvement, even our best efforts can fail or become stressful (Psalm 127:1).

God takes pleasure in guiding the lives of those who willingly surrender their plans to Him. When He orders your steps, progress becomes steady, peaceful, and meaningful. You may not move fast, but you will move right (Psalm 37:23).

As you step into this New Year, resist the urge to rush ahead of God. Choose to walk with Him daily through prayer, obedience, and trust. When God leads, your journey will be fruitful, and your life will have lasting value (Isaiah 48:17).

Prayer Nugget: Father, I submit the foundation of this year to you. Order my steps and establish my ways. Let nothing I build collapse, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 21-23

Date: Monday, 5^th January, 2026

Text: John 4:21-24

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

We are created to worship our Maker. Both living and non-living things give Him praise, and our worship brings Him pleasure. Worship is not limited to singing, clapping, or outward expressions alone; our daily obedience is itself an act of worship. Showing love toward God and extending love to our fellow human beings are equally powerful expressions of worship.

It is one thing to worship God, but it is another thing to worship Him acceptably. True worship must be offered in the way God desires. To worship God in spirit and in truth is to worship Him from the heart and according to His Word, not merely through outward forms or religious rituals.

Jesus declared, “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth” (John 4:24). To worship in spirit is to worship from your inner being—your heart, soul, and regenerated spirit. It is sincere, living worship inspired by the Holy Spirit, flowing from love, reverence, and a genuine relationship with God.

To worship in truth is to worship in alignment with God’s revealed truth—His Word and His nature. It is worship rooted in who God truly is, not in human traditions, emotions, or personal preferences. Such worship approaches God with honesty, obedience, and faith in Christ, who is the Truth (John 14:6).

Worshiping God in spirit and in truth is authentic, heartfelt worship guided by the Holy Spirit and grounded in the Word of God—where the worshiper’s life, not just the lips, honors Him. This year, if you must enjoy God’s presence and power, make it a habit to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Prayer Nugget: Father, teach me to worship you acceptably. Let my worship flow from a pure heart, guided by your Spirit and grounded in your truth in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 18-20

Date: Sunday, 4^th January, 2026

Text: Matthew 6:25-34

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The aspect of God you will experience this year depends on how closely you draw to Him. Albert Einstein is quoted as saying that doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result is insanity. There is therefore a need to change your approach this year. Make God your priority—put Him first in all your endeavours. You have relied on your own wisdom for years and achieved little or nothing; why not try another method—depending on God’s wisdom this year?

To rely on God’s wisdom is to obey His Word in every situation of life. God’s ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are His ways higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8–9). Walking with God requires humility—the humility to submit our understanding to His superior insight.

Choosing God’s way demands a deliberate decision. Peter toiled all night and caught nothing, despite exhausting all his professional skills and experience. Then Jesus gave an instruction that did not make natural sense, but thank God Peter obeyed. Had he relied solely on his professional knowledge, he would have gone home empty-handed. Luke 5:1-11 Obedience to divine instruction opened the door to uncommon results.

This year, lay aside your limited wisdom and rely on God’s superior wisdom. Surrender the management of your life to Jesus Christ. Put Him in the driver’s seat and allow Him to direct you like a spiritual Google Map. As you seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, every other thing you desire shall be added unto you.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I surrender my understanding to You this year. Lead me by Your wisdom, order my steps by Your Word, and help me to trust You completely in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 13-17

Date: Saturday, 3rd January, 2026

Text: Jonah 1:1–17

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The story of Jonah is rich with deep spiritual lessons. The fleeing prophet carried a clear call of God upon his life, yet he chose the path of disobedience and went his own way—and the judgment of God followed. If that were all, the story would have been straightforward.

However, the narrative becomes more sobering when we see that Jonah’s personal disobedience brought severe consequences upon those who journeyed with him. The sailors on his ship suffered great losses as they struggled to manage the violent storm. They exhausted every natural and professional effort to save the situation, yet the storm only grew fiercer.

When a human or demonic enemy attacks, one can cry to God for deliverance. But when it is God Himself who is contending, who then can intervene? The storm that confronted Jonah was personally sent by God (Jonah 1:4), making his situation both unique and dangerous for everyone around him.

The only workable solution was the removal of Jonah from the ship. This year, you must be willing to identify and separate from your “Jonahs” if you do not want to suffer avoidable losses. God’s desire is that you do not suffer loss, but wisdom demands precaution.

Beware of those you journey with in 2026. Not everyone should be on your ship. Not everyone shares your vision, values, or divine assignment. Be discerning and spiritually sensitive. As you walk in wisdom, you will land safely this year—not with losses, but with great gains, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, in the name of Jesus, deliver me from associations that attract divine contention, and align my journey with people who advance your purpose for my destiny, in Jesus’ name.
