Text:  Mark 10:43–45

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

True disciples serve. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be great must be a servant” (Mark 10:43). Service is the pathway to spiritual promotion. A disciple serves with humility, excellence, and joy—not for recognition, but for kingdom advancement. Service is worship in motion.

Service requires sacrifice of time, convenience, and personal preference (Romans 12:11). A disciple sees needs and meets them. Jesus washed His disciples’ feet to demonstrate servant leadership (John 13:14–15). The highest calling is not titles but towels.

Service purifies motives. It exposes pride, entitlement, and laziness. God elevates those who serve faithfully in hidden places (Luke 16:10). David served in obscurity before reigning publicly. Service builds patience, character, and spiritual sensitivity.

A serving disciple attracts God’s grace. Service reproduces Christ’s nature in us, for He came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). When disciples serve, the church thrives, the kingdom expands, and God is glorified. Service is discipleship in action.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the heart of a servant and the grace to serve faithfully in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 2Timothy 1-4

Date: Wednesday, 17th December 2025

Text:  Matthew 28:19–20

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A disciple is a witness. Jesus commissioned His disciples, “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). Evangelism is not a gift for a few but a mandate for all. A silent disciple becomes an ineffective one. The gospel spreads through voices willing to speak.

Evangelism is powered by compassion (Matthew 9:36). We preach because souls matter. Hell is real (Revelation 20:15), eternity is certain (Hebrews 9:27), and Christ is the only way (John 14:6). A disciple shares the gospel boldly, lovingly, and urgently.

Evangelism requires preparation—knowing the Word (1 Peter 3:15), being led by the Spirit (Acts 8:29), and living a life that validates the message (Philippians 2:15–16). A disciple’s lifestyle is a sermon before any words are spoken.

When a disciple evangelizes, heaven rejoices (Luke 15:7), angels support, and the Spirit empowers. Evangelism deepens spiritual maturity because sharing strengthens faith. Every disciple must see themselves as God’s messenger to their generation.

Prayer Nugget: Father, make me a bold and effective witness of your gospel in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 1 Timothy 1-6

Text:  John 13:35

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Love is the identity of a disciple. Jesus declared, “By this all men shall know you are My disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35). Love is not emotion but sacrifice (1 John 3:16). It forgives, covers, restores, and builds. A loveless disciple is a contradiction to the nature of Christ.

Love requires dying to pride, bitterness, and revenge. It demands patience (1 Corinthians 13:4–7) and humility (Philippians 2:3). Love is warfare against the flesh, but it is the fruit of the Spirit within (Galatians 5:22). Real disciples love even when it hurts.

Love transforms communities, marriages, churches, and nations. It overcomes evil with good (Romans 12:21) and shines light in dark places (Matthew 5:14–16). Love is not weakness; it is spiritual strength. Satan fears a loving disciple because love destroys his influence.

Love proves spiritual maturity. Gifts do not guarantee discipleship—love does (1 Corinthians 13:1–3). A disciple must ask daily: “Does my life reveal Christ’s love?” When love becomes your nature, Christ becomes visible through you. That visibility is discipleship.

Prayer Nugget: Father, fill my heart with your love and let it overflow to others in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 2 Thessalonians 1-3

Date: Monday, 15th December 2025

Text:  2 Peter 3:18

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A true disciple must keep growing. Staying the same spiritually is dangerous because it can lead to wrong beliefs, pride, and compromise. The Bible tells us to “grow in grace and knowledge” (2 Peter 3:18). Spiritual growth does not happen by accident—it comes through prayer, studying God’s Word, fellowship with others, obedience, and self-examination. No disciple ever outgrows these basics.

We grow by feeding on God’s Word (Jeremiah 15:16), being filled with the Holy Spirit (John 7:37–39), and practicing our faith (Hebrews 5:14). Growth moves us from spiritual weakness to strength and from emotional faith to a firm understanding of truth. God grows His people step by step, not overnight.

As we grow, God shows us attitudes and habits that need to change. This can be uncomfortable, but it is necessary. A disciple must accept correction (Proverbs 12:1), allow God to remove what is not helpful (John 15:2), and listen to godly guidance. True growth requires humility, patience, and consistent effort—there are no shortcuts.

A growing disciple becomes useful to God. Growth brings wisdom, strength, and fruitfulness. It helps us become more like Christ and increases our impact for God’s kingdom. When a disciple grows, God is pleased and the enemy loses ground. Growth shows that discipleship is real.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, help me to grow every day in grace, truth, and spiritual maturity in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 1 Thessalonians 1-5

Date: Sunday, 14th December 2025

Text:  Romans 12:1

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Sacrifice is the fragrance of discipleship. Paul said, “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1). Sacrifice is not pain—it is worship. A disciple gives time, strength, resources, and comfort for kingdom purpose. Love always sacrifices (John 3:16); discipleship reflects divine love.

God uses sacrifice to enlarge capacity. Abraham sacrificed Isaac and became the father of nations (Genesis 22:16–18). David refused to offer to God what cost him nothing (2 Samuel 24:24). Sacrifice breaks selfishness, expands faith, and creates room for greater glory.

Sacrifice distinguishes disciples from followers. Followers seek benefits; disciples seek transformation. Followers pursue convenience; disciples pursue covenant. Sacrifice reveals commitment, maturity, and kingdom alignment (Philippians 3:7–8). What you sacrifice for God never disappears—it becomes seed.

Every disciple must sacrifice comfort to pray, sleep to study, resources to give, pride to obey, and convenience to grow. Sacrifice is not loss; it is investment. God rewards every surrendered thing with multiplied grace (Mark 10:29–30). What leaves your hand enters God’s harvest field.

Prayer Nugget: Father, make my life a willing sacrifice that honors you daily in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Colossians 1-4

Date: Saturday, 13th December 2025

Text:  Romans 8:14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

No one can be a disciple without the Holy Spirit. “As many as are led by the Spirit… they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14). The Spirit empowers, instructs, convicts, comforts, and directs. Discipleship without the Spirit becomes empty religion; discipleship with the Spirit becomes transformation.

The Holy Spirit is the Teacher who unveils truth (John 14:26). He opens Scripture, reveals mysteries (1 Corinthians 2:10), and whispers divine strategies. A disciple must cultivate sensitivity to His voice—He speaks through Scripture, impressions, counsel, and inner witness (Romans 8:16).

The Spirit also produces fruit—love, joy, peace, and more (Galatians 5:22–23). These fruits are not achieved by effort but produced by surrender. Gifts demonstrate the Spirit upon you; fruit reveals the Spirit within you. A disciple must cultivate both, but fruit qualifies us for deeper authority.

The Spirit empowers disciples for assignment (Acts 1:8). Without Him, zeal becomes frustration; with Him, weakness becomes strength (2 Corinthians 12:9). He transforms ordinary men into kingdom ambassadors. Discipleship begins with following Jesus but matures with following the Spirit.

Prayer Nugget: Holy Spirit, lead me, teach me, and empower me to follow Christ faithfully in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Philippians 1-4

Date: Friday, 12th December 2025

Text:  Luke 11:1

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Prayer is the breath of a disciple. The disciples never asked Jesus, “Teach us to preach,” but “Teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). They knew power came from His prayer life, not His public ministry. Prayer strengthens the inner man (Ephesians 3:16) and keeps the heart aligned with God’s will (Colossians 4:12).

Prayer births spiritual authority. Elijah prayed, and heaven obeyed (James 5:17–18). Jesus prayed, and demons bowed (Mark 1:35, 39). A disciple without prayer is spiritually powerless, vulnerable to temptation, and easily discouraged (Matthew 26:41). Prayer energizes obedience and fuels consecration.

Prayer is also intimacy. It is where burdens are exchanged (1 Peter 5:7), strength is renewed (Isaiah 40:31), and secrets are revealed (Jeremiah 33:3). Discipleship without fellowship becomes duty without relationship. God shapes disciples in the secret place long before they appear in the public place.

A prayerless disciple will always struggle, but a prayerful disciple becomes unshakeable. Prayer creates inner stability in storms, clarity in confusion, and fire in cold seasons. When the disciple’s knees bend, heaven opens. When prayer rises, transformation follows.

Prayer Nugget: Lord, ignite my prayer life with fresh fire and deepen my fellowship with you in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Ephesians 1-6

Date: Thursday, 11th December 2025

Text:  John 8:31–32

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A true disciple is defined by his relationship with the Word. Jesus said, “If you continue in My Word, then are you My disciples indeed” (John 8:31). Consistency is the key—continuing daily in reading, meditation, and obedience. The Word renews the mind (Romans 12:2) and purifies the heart (Psalm 119:9).

Gifts may display power, but it is the Word that shapes character. When Scripture governs the soul, fear fades, faith strengthens, and wisdom guides destiny. The disciple becomes grounded, stable, and fruitful.

The Word is also a weapon in spiritual warfare. Jesus defeated Satan by declaring, “It is written” (Matthew 4:4–10). A disciple without the Word is like a soldier without arms. Scripture becomes both the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17) and a shield against deception. Revelation protects; ignorance exposes.

Abiding in the Word produces freedom (John 8:32)—not freedom to sin, but freedom from sin. The Word dismantles strongholds, breaks habits, and transforms thinking. When the Word dwells richly in the heart (Colossians 3:16), Christ is gradually formed within. This inner formation is the true essence of discipleship.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, plant Your Word deeply in my spirit and let it shape my daily life in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Galatians 4-6

Date: Wednesday, 10th December 2025

Text:  Isaiah 50:4–5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A true disciple begins with a listening ear. God awakens the disciple “morning by morning” to hear His voice (Isaiah 50:4). Hearing is not accidental; it is cultivated through quietness and spiritual sensitivity. Jesus often said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15), reminding us that not all ears can discern divine frequency.

Hearing precedes obedience. A deaf disciple becomes a disobedient disciple because instructions cannot guide him. Samuel learned early: “Speak, Lord; for Your servant hears” (1 Samuel 3:9). When the ear is tuned to God, confusion loses its power, and direction becomes clear (Psalm 32:8).

The disciple’s ear must also filter voices. The world screams, the flesh whispers, and Satan deceives, but the Shepherd leads by His voice (John 10:27). Discernment is developed through the Word, for Scripture trains the ears to recognize truth and reject error (Hebrews 5:14; Psalm 119:105).

God invests revelations where He finds attention. If He can capture your ear, He will shape your destiny. A disciple grows not by effort alone, but by hearing and responding accurately. When your ear yields to God, your life will follow.

Prayer Nugget: Father, open my ears to hear your voice clearly and consistently in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Galatians 1-3

Date: Tuesday, 9th December 2025

Text:  Luke 9:23

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When Jesus says, “Take up your cross daily,” He is not simply asking us to endure hardship — He is calling us into surrender. The cross is where our own will bows to God’s will. It is where our preferences, ego, and old lifestyle lose their power, so the life of Christ can take full expression in us (Romans 6:6; Galatians 2:20).

Every disciple has a personal cross — the sacrifices, disciplines, responsibilities, and God-given challenges that shape spiritual growth. Through the cross, God breaks pride, purifies motives, reshapes identity, and matures our character (1 Peter 4:1). Nothing in this process is wasted; God uses the cross as His tool to form Christlikeness in us.

Avoiding the cross is avoiding growth. Many desire power without process, anointing without alignment, and destiny without discipline. But even Jesus entered glory after the cross (Philippians 2:8–9). Following Christ means embracing the same pattern: death to self is always the doorway to discovering purpose.

Yet the cross is not only about sacrifice — it is also a privilege. It is the narrow road that leads to true life (Matthew 7:14). Those who embrace their cross experience resurrection power, supernatural freedom, and deeper intimacy with God (Philippians 3:10). The cross is the path that leads to genuine spiritual greatness.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, give me the grace to carry my cross each day with joy, strength, and perseverance in Jesus name.
