Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Complaining is a subtle form of rebellion that hides beneath ordinary words. When Israel murmured against Moses, God interpreted it as murmuring against Himself. Their tongues exposed the condition of their hearts, revealing doubt, fear, and rebellion. Words are never neutral—they either honour God or offend Him.

Murmuring destroys faith and empowers negativity. It blinds the heart from seeing what God has done and magnifies what seems delayed. Scripture warns, “Do all things without murmurings” (Philippians 2:14), because murmuring breaks fellowship with God. Thanksgiving, on the other hand, strengthens faith and opens the door to grace. Your mouth determines the atmosphere around your life.

The Israelites murmured until their complaints brought judgment instead of breakthrough. Paul reminds us, “Neither murmur ye… and were destroyed of the destroyer” (1 Corinthians 10:10). Complaining attracts spiritual consequences because it challenges God’s wisdom and questions His goodness. A murmuring heart cannot walk in victory because it refuses to trust the God who leads.

God desires a grateful people, not a grumbling generation. Gratitude lifts the eyes from challenges and fixes them on God’s faithfulness. When you choose thanksgiving, you silence the voice of fear and strengthen your confidence in the Lord. Murmuring shrinks your faith, but gratitude multiplies your grace. What you magnify is what grows in your spirit.

Today, reject the spirit of murmuring and embrace the discipline of thanksgiving. Let your words reflect trust, praise, and surrender to God’s perfect will. Even in delays, give thanks; even in trials, honour Him with your lips. As you choose gratitude daily, God will fight your battles and make your path shine brighter.

Key Nugget: Your mouth determines the atmosphere around your life.

Bible in One Year: Acts 14-15

Date: Saturday, 22^nd November 2025

Text:  Psalm 106:21

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A grateful heart remembers the victories, the mercies, and the provisions of God. It refuses to take credit for what God alone has made possible. This is why Scripture commands us to “give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thessalonians 5:18), because thanksgiving anchors us in obedience. When thanksgiving is absent, rebellion quietly begins to rise. Gratitude keeps the soul aligned with God’s perfect will.

Israel forgot the God who saved them, and their hearts wandered into rebellion. Unthankfulness is not just an attitude problem; it is a silent revolt against the goodness of God. When a man forgets what God has done, pride begins to grow, and pride always leads to a fall. Gratitude, however, keeps the heart soft, humble, and obedient. Thanksgiving is the cure for spiritual forgetfulness.

Jesus highlighted the danger of unthankfulness when He asked, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?” (Luke 17:17–18). Only one returned with gratitude, and only that one received wholeness. Thanksgiving opens the door to complete blessings, while unthankfulness shuts a person out of deeper encounters with God. God always rewards the heart that comes back to say, “Thank You.”

Unthankfulness blinds the eyes, hardens the spirit, and drags a person away from divine direction. It makes the soul forget battles God has fought and victories He has secured. A rebellious heart rarely begins with loud defiance; it starts with quiet forgetfulness. This is why Scripture warns us never to forget His benefits and never to take His mercies for granted. Gratitude keeps rebellion far away.

Today, choose gratitude. Count your blessings, recall His mercies, and acknowledge His hand upon your life. Let thanksgiving become your daily posture, your spiritual discipline, and your shield against rebellion. As you practice gratitude, your heart will remain tender and aligned with God, and His presence will be your constant companion.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, deliver my heart from every spirit of unthankfulness; give me a grateful and obedient heart all the days of my life.

Bible in One Year: Acts 12-13

Date: Friday, 21^st November 2025

Text:  Psalm 81:11–12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Self-will is when a man insists on directing his own life, while God’s will is God directing that life for His purpose. This conflict defines every believer’s walk with God. One path leads to independence that destroys, the other to submission that preserves. A man must choose whose desire will govern his steps.

Israel chose self-will, and God gave him over to his own counsel. Nothing is more dangerous than when God steps aside and lets a man lead himself. Self-will appears bold but leaves him blind and exposed. Once he rejects divine guidance, confusion quickly becomes his companion.

When a man prioritizes his desires above God’s, he unknowingly becomes his own god. He begins to trust his emotions more than Scripture and his logic more than the Spirit. This self-made lordship always leads to dryness. No man thrives when he enthrones himself.

True discipleship is the surrender of personal preference. Even Jesus prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done,” teaching every believer the posture of obedience. A man cannot walk in power while clinging to self-rule. God only guides the heart that yields.

Like sheep, each man naturally turns to his own way, but grace calls him back to surrender. God’s will may stretch him, but it will never harm him. His plan is wiser and safer than any counsel a man gives himself. The highest freedom is found in submission to God.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please break the power of self-will in my life and align my heart fully with Your will. Lead me in the path of surrender, and let obedience become my lifestyle in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Acts 10–11

Date: Thursday, 20th November 2025

Text:  Deuteronomy 28:15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Disobedience is the outward expression of an inward rebellion, a quiet refusal to align with the will of God. Scripture warns that. “It shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken… all these curses shall come upon thee” (Deuteronomy 28:15). Every act of rebellion attracts a consequence, and no one escapes the harvest of what they sow. The path of disobedience may look harmless at first, but it always leads away from God’s covering. When the heart resists instruction, destiny begins to suffer decline.

Rebellion closes doors that obedience would have opened with ease. Saul lost the kingdom not to witches, but to disobedience, for Samuel declared, “To obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). Adam forfeited Eden because he listened to another voice above God’s voice. Moses, beloved by God, missed Canaan because he struck when God said speak. These examples remind us that no level of anointing, calling, or spiritual experience exempts anyone from the cost of disobedience.

Disobedience breaks divine patterns and interrupts divine promises. It disconnects a believer from grace, frustrates divine help, and opens the door to unnecessary affliction. Isaiah cried, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19), meaning the blessings of the land answer only to obedience. When obedience is absent, favour dries up and struggles multiply. Nothing destroys spiritual progress faster than persistent disobedience.

But blessed is the man who yields to God’s voice, for obedience restores what disobedience damaged. It reopens closed doors and realigns destinies with God’s purpose. Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15), showing that obedience is the highest expression of love. When the heart bends towards God, mercy flows and grace increases. Your greatness, your preservation, and your promotion are hidden in the pathways of obedience.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, deliver me from every form of disobedience and rebellion; give me a heart that yields quickly and obeys willingly in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Acts 8-9

Text:  Psalm 78:8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God calls Israel, “A stubborn and rebellious generation,” and that word still echoes for many of us today. To be stubborn is to refuse to bend, even when God’s truth confronts us. When our hearts harden, we cut ourselves off from divine correction and the flow of heaven. Many destinies stall, not because God is unable, but because our hearts will not yield. A broken, contrite heart can be blessed, but a stubborn one resists God’s grace and hinders His purpose.

The writer of Hebrews warns us to listen to the voice of the Lord, “Today, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts” (Hebrews 3:7–8). Hardness of heart makes us spiritually deaf and blind to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. When we refuse God’s promptings, we close ourselves to repentance and transformation. The danger of rebellion lies not just in resisting, but in becoming comfortable in disobedience. Spiritual stagnation often begins in the soil of a stubborn heart.

In Zechariah we read that some, “Made their hearts as an adamant stone” (Zechariah 7:11–12), refusing to listen, refusing to respond. A heart of stone repels God’s voice, resists His instruction, and resists His presence. But God says in Ezekiel 36:26 that He will give us a new heart—a heart of flesh. Only a soft, teachable heart can receive His counsel, carry His burden, and walk in His divine plan. Transformation begins when hardness gives way to humility.

Beloved, God desires a heart that bows, not a heart that battles. He longs for a spirit that is tender, not tenacious, so His blessing can flow without hindrance. Ask Him to melt away every trace of obstinacy and yield you to His will that you may walk in obedience and power. The fullness of your destiny awaits a heart surrendered. Let today be the day you refuse stubbornness and embrace sensitivity to God’s voice.

Prayer Nugget: Father please, cast out every stone of resistance in my heart, and give me a soft, tender, and teachable spirit in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Acts 6-7

Text:  Ezekiel 36:26

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Pride was Lucifer’s first sin and the root of every human rebellion. A proud heart cannot submit, cannot be corrected, and cannot fully obey. Rebellion always begins in the heart before it appears in actions. To conquer rebellion, pride must die (Proverbs 16:18).

Pride resists God’s authority, just as Israel did when they hardened their hearts in the wilderness (Psalm 95:8). A rebellious spirit often hides beneath excuses, self-justification, and selective obedience. But God sees beyond actions to the motives that drive them. Until the inner root is exposed, true obedience cannot flourish.

Uprooting rebellion requires surrender to the searching light of God’s Word (Hebrews 4:12). His Spirit reveals the hidden attitudes we have normalized—stubbornness, self-will, and secret resistance. God does not condemn us; instead, He invites us to transformation. He promises to remove the stony heart and give us a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).

When pride is broken, obedience becomes joyful and natural. God plants humility, meekness, and willingness in the heart so His will can fully reign. Victory over rebellion is not achieved by human strength but by divine renewal. As Philippians 2:13 says, “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, break the power of pride in me and uproot every trace of rebellion from my heart. Make my spirit fully obedient to your will in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Acts 4-5

Date: Monday, 17th November 2025

Text:  1 Samuel 15:23

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Rebellion is not a simple act of disobedience but a deep spiritual resistance against God’s rule. It is a deliberate posture of the heart that chooses human reasoning over divine instruction. When Saul rebelled, it was not the action alone but the attitude behind it that provoked God’s judgment. God sees rebellion as a challenge to His authority and a doorway to spiritual corruption.

Rebellion begins subtly, often disguised as personal opinion or independent thinking. Saul felt justified when he spared the best animals, yet God called it rebellion. Anytime we edit, adjust, or negotiate God’s commands, we move into the territory of rebellion. True obedience does not make room for our preferences—it honors God above our logic.

Partial obedience is one of the most deceptive forms of rebellion. It looks acceptable on the outside, yet it hides a heart unwilling to fully surrender. Saul obeyed in some aspects but maintained control in others, revealing that God was not truly Lord over him. God demands complete obedience because anything less is an expression of self-will and pride.

God does not take rebellion lightly because it is a seed that grows into greater sin. Once a heart resists God, it becomes vulnerable to deception, hardness, and spiritual blindness. This is why Scripture likens rebellion to witchcraft—both reject God’s authority and open the door to darkness. The safest place for every believer is the place of humble, unquestioning obedience.

Prayer Nugget: I uproot every seed of rebellion in my spirit and soul. I break every hidden resistance in my heart. Father, let your will prevail over my will in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Acts 1-3

Text:  Ephesians 6:10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The word of God warns us that the devil moves about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). This paints the picture of life as a spiritual jungle where the survival of the fittest prevails. Just as predators target the weak among the prey, so the enemy targets those who are spiritually faint, distracted, lukewarm, or weary. Weakness in the realm of the spirit is costly; it can expose a believer to unnecessary battles and losses.

The world in which we live is described in scripture as “the habitation of cruelty,” for it is written, “Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.” — Psalm 74:20. We are surrounded daily by unseen forces, wickedness in high places, arrows that fly by day, and terrors that walk in darkness (Ephesians 6:12, Psalm 91:5). In such an environment, spiritual weakness is not an option; it is a risk.

You cannot afford to be fragile in your walk with God. The spiritually weak are easily discouraged, easily deceived, easily defeated, and easily devoured. But the strong in the Lord are shielded, empowered, discerning, and unshakable.

Strength in the Lord does not come from physical energy or human wisdom; it comes from being rooted in His Word, filled with His Spirit, and anchored in His presence. “The Lord is my strength and my shield… and I am helped.” — Psalm 28:7.

Sitting on the fence is dangerous. Neutrality is not safety. You must be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). When you stand strong in Him, no weapon formed against you shall prosper, no adversary shall prevail, and no darkness shall swallow your destiny. Divine strength fortifies your spirit, strengthens your resolve, and positions you above the battles of life.

Prayer Nugget: Father, by Your Spirit, empower me to stand firm, resist the enemy, and prevail in every battle of life in Jesus name.

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Because He is the Way, He guides you out of darkness into light, out of sin into righteousness, and out of lack into supernatural supply. Where life presents a dead end, He creates a path in the wilderness and makes rivers flow in the desert, fulfilling His promise in Isaiah 43:19.

As the Door, Jesus grants you access to salvation, grace, favour, peace, and divine abundance. When He opens a door, no power can shut it. His hand breaks the hold of delay, overturns satanic resistance, and ushers you into your ordained season of lifting, because in Him, every closed chapter can open again.

Jesus is also the Life, releasing divine vitality into every part of your destiny. His resurrection power restores health to your body, strength to your spirit, and freshness to your purpose. He breathes life into dying dreams, troubled homes, struggling businesses, and fainting hearts, for with Him is the fountain of life (Psalm 36:9).

Whenever confusion rises, remember He is the Truth. Whenever weakness overwhelms, remember He is the Life. Whenever you are uncertain of the next step, remember He is the Way. Stand firm today knowing that in Christ, your path is secured, your access is guaranteed, and your destiny is preserved by His unchanging Word.

Prayer Nugget:  Lord Jesus, please, make a supernatural way where none exists, and breathe your life into every dying area of my body, my destiny, and my household in Jesus name.

Text:  Hebrews 6:19

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Life is full of storms — moments when the winds of adversity blow fiercely and the waves of uncertainty rise high. It is in these turbulent seasons that the strength of our anchor is tested. The hymn writer poses a searching question: “Will your anchor hold in the storms of life?”

Many have placed their confidence in possessions, status, or human wisdom, but these anchors cannot withstand the storms of life. True stability comes only when our lives are anchored in Christ — the Rock that cannot move. Scripture reminds us that, “Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.” (Hebrews 6:19) Our hope in Christ is not a fragile rope, but a divine anchor — firm, eternal, and secured beyond the veil, in the very presence of God.

The psalmist declares, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.” — Psalm 46:1–2

And Jesus affirmed, “Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” — Matthew 7:24–25

Dear believer, hold fast to your faith. Let your soul remain anchored in Christ through obedience, prayer, and the Word. No matter how fierce the storm, you will not drift away — for your hope is secure in the Savior’s unchanging love.

Prayer Nugget:  Lord Jesus, You are my sure Anchor in every storm. When the winds blow and the tides rise, may my soul remain firm in you, my eternal Rock in Jesus name.
