Text: Philippians 2:13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

It is one thing to know the will of God, and another thing entirely to carry it out. Many believers sincerely desire to do what pleases God, yet they often find themselves struggling against the weakness of the flesh.

Paul vividly described this inner conflict in Romans 7:15–20, saying, “For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do… For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.”

This struggle is not peculiar to Paul alone — it is the reality of every believer who desires to walk in righteousness. The human nature, corrupted by sin, constantly wars against the Spirit. Galatians 5:17–18 says, “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other.”

The truth is, willpower alone cannot produce obedience to God. We need help from above — a divine enablement that empowers us to do what pleases God. That enablement is called grace.

Grace is not just unmerited favour; it is God’s strength working in our weakness. It is divine energy supplied by the Holy Spirit that helps us to overcome sin, endure trials, and live victoriously.

When grace is at work, you find yourself doing what you could not do before — forgiving easily, obeying promptly, serving faithfully, and standing firm where others fall.

May you receive fresh grace today to overcome every struggle and to walk in victory.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I acknowledge my weakness and helplessness. Please, fill me with your grace today, and empower me to do Your will in every area of my life in Jesus name.

Text: Proverbs 22:1

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Most parents would never want to name their children after people like Judas Iscariot, Achan, or Cain — not because the names themselves are inherently evil, but because those names evoke unpleasant memories of betrayal, greed, and rebellion. Instead, they prefer names like Abraham, Israel, Samuel, David, or Peter — names that carry honour, faith, and integrity.

A good name is not built overnight; it is cultivated through consistent right living, integrity, and faithfulness. It is our personal responsibility to guard our name jealously and protect it from being tarnished.

I once saw a video clip of a politician who was stoned and disgraced by his constituents when he came to campaign for re-election. He had failed to keep the promises he made during his first tenure, and the people could no longer trust him. He lost not only their votes but also his good name.

We all hold positions of trust in one way or another — as leaders, parents, workers, or believers — and it is vital that we do not betray the trust others place in us for selfish gain.

Today’s text says,

“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.” — Proverbs 22:1

A good name is a priceless treasure. It commands respect, attracts favour, and opens doors of opportunities. It is better to lose money than to lose integrity. When you have a good name before God and men, you will enjoy both divine and human goodwill.

Our daily choices define who we are and what we truly value — is it a good name or unjust gain?

When your name is mentioned in your circle of influence, what comes to people’s minds — pleasant memories or painful ones?

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to live uprightly and preserve a good name before you and before men. Let my life continually bring honour to your name, in Jesus’ name.

Text: Mark 8:36-37

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

If money were truly the solution to all of life’s challenges, then the rich would not be dying of incurable diseases. They would not be battling depression or raising children caught in drug addiction, gambling, or other social vices.

If money could solve every problem, then the wealthy should not be struggling with marital infidelity, barrenness, miscarriages, broken homes, or loneliness. Yet, these afflictions plague even those with overflowing bank accounts. Money can buy the best hospitals, but it cannot guarantee healing — that is why doctors often say, “We care, but God heals.”

Money can buy a luxurious bed, but not peaceful sleep; an expensive car, but not safety from accidents; a grand wedding, but not a successful marriage. It can pay for the best education, but not wisdom or intelligence. It can buy material possessions, but not a good name or inner peace.

In the end, a man may be so financially smart that he gains the whole world — only to lose his soul, the most valuable possession of all. Jesus asked a piercing question: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 8:36–37).

Beloved, never allow the pursuit of wealth to replace your pursuit of God. Money is a useful servant but a dangerous master. When money controls your choices, you are no longer led by the Spirit of God but by the spirit of mammon.

Therefore, let your heart seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things — including financial prosperity — shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). True success is not measured by what you possess but by who possesses you.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, deliver me from the love of money and the spirit of mammon. Help me to trust in You as my Source and not in wealth in Jesus name

Bible in One Year: Matthew 9-11

Date: Saturday, 11th October 2025

Text: Matthew 6:24

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In today’s text, Jesus gave a clear warning about divided loyalty when He said, “You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24c. The word mammon represents money, possessions, fame, status, or anything valued more than God.

Money itself is not evil — in fact, it is good and necessary. The Bible says, “Money is a defense” (Ecclesiastes 7:12), and Jesus became poor that we through His poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). Money enables us to fulfill divine purposes, support the gospel, and meet human needs.

However, the love of money — not money itself — is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). To love money is to be willing to do anything to get it, even at the expense of your conscience, your integrity, or your relationship with God. That is the spirit of mammon — a deceptive force that competes with God for the human heart.

It is idolatrous to believe that money can solve every problem. Some people are deeply in love with money because they think it holds the answer to all life’s challenges. What an idolatrous thought pattern! Peter rebuked such a mindset when he said to Simon the sorcerer, “Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money” (Acts 8:20).

Mammon is a false god that demands worship and promises power, yet leaves its followers empty. It blinds the eyes, corrupts motives, and replaces faith in God with faith in material wealth. One can still attend church and confess Christ, yet secretly serve mammon in the heart.

Let us be reminded: God is our ultimate Source — not money, not connections, not possessions. He alone supplies all our needs according to His riches in glory. Therefore, let money be your servant, not your master. Use it as a tool to honor God, bless others, and advance His kingdom; not to manipulate, oppress others, or pursue ungodly agendas.

When God sits on the throne of your heart, mammon loses its grip on your soul.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I thank You because You are my Source, my Sustainer, and my Provider — not mammon, not men, not connections.

Text: John 3:30

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The natural man is selfish by default. In other words, a person who hasn’t been transformed by God’s Spirit will naturally act in self-centered ways — seeking personal gain, defending ego, and avoiding responsibility — because that’s the fallen human nature.

He wants to eat his cake and still have it. He desires mercy but is slow to show it to others. He wants to do wrong and yet escape the consequences of his actions. Scripture describes this perfectly: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” — Jeremiah 17:9.

Many desire God’s forgiveness yet withhold the same from those who wrong them. Jesus clearly warned, “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” — Matthew 6:15. Yet, when confronted with their faults, instead of humbly admitting and repenting, they become defensive and make excuses. They see the speck in their brother’s eye but ignore the log in their own (Matthew 7:3–5).

He is quick to spot the shortcomings of others but slow to recognize his own. He can pity the less privileged, but when that person begins to rise and enjoy favour, envy creeps in — James 3:16.

The call to follow Christ is a call to die to self. Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.” — Galatians 2:20. True discipleship means letting Christ increase in us while self-decreases daily. Until self is subdued, God’s glory cannot fully manifest through us.

We must therefore make it our daily prayer: “Lord, let there be none of me and all of You.” When we surrender completely to Him, our words, thoughts, and actions begin to reflect His nature — love, humility, mercy, and truth. Only then can we truly shine as lights in this dark and corrupt world (Matthew 5:14–16).

Prayer Nugget: Father, I pray for more of you and less of me; make me a light in this dark and corrupt world in Jesus name.

Text: John 10:10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

According to John 10:10, “The thief comes not but to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” Mission SKD — Steal, Kill, and Destroy — is the devil’s full-time assignment and the hallmark of his kingdom. Each day, he seeks to rob believers of their peace, kill their faith, and destroy their destiny.

But thanks be to God, we have a vantage position in Christ! The Son of God was manifested to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Jesus came to crush Mission SKD and to give us life more abundantly.

He declared, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18). The devil is a defeated foe. Revelation 12:11 affirms that “we overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.”

However, walking in this victory demands a life of consistent prayer and spiritual watchfulness. Prayer keeps us connected to the throne of grace, and watchfulness keeps us alert to the enemy’s subtle moves. A careless believer is an easy target, but a prayerful believer remains undefeatable.

Therefore, live daily in the consciousness of your victory. Refuse to be a victim. Stand firm in holy living, fervent prayer, and faith-filled confession. The enemy’s mission may be to steal, kill, and destroy — but Christ’s mission is to give life, and give it abundantly!

Prayer Nugget: Father, by the power in the blood of Jesus, I declare that every mission of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy anything in my life is crushed completely in Jesus name.

Text: Isaiah 62:6-7

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God answers prayers, but He prioritizes the requests of those who are desperate and persistent. Don’t stop calling on His name! As long as your request is not against His will, keep praying until your prayers are fully answered and your joy is complete.

Daniel didn’t relent even after twenty-one days of continuous prayer. He kept pressing on until heaven intervened and the forces delaying his breakthrough were defeated (Daniel 10:1–21).

Jesus also taught that persistence in prayer moves the heart of God. In Luke 11:5–10, He told the story of a man who received help not because of friendship, but because of his shameless audacity. Jesus concluded by saying, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Again, in Luke 18:1–8, Jesus revealed one of the greatest secrets of breakthrough — persistence. The widow refused to take “no” for an answer from a wicked judge, and though he was unwilling, he granted her request because of her relentless insistence.

Beloved, the price you may need to pay for that long-awaited miracle could be persistence, resilience, and doggedness in the place of prayer. God is not tired of hearing your voice — in fact, He delights in your consistent faith. He is interested in your welfare. So, give Him no rest until your joy is full and your testimony is complete.

Reflective Nugget: The secret of answered prayers is not just in asking once — but in asking until your joy is full.

Text: Psalm 90:12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Birthdays often remind us how many years we have lived, but God is more concerned about how well we have lived. He is not asking, “How many years are you celebrating?” but “What have you done with the years I have given you?”

Many people count their years, but few make their years count. Your true age in God’s sight is not measured by time, but by growth, obedience, and fruitfulness. Each New Year is not just a celebration of existence but a renewed opportunity to fulfill purpose.

Moses prayed, “Teach us to number our days.” Psalm 90:12. That means to live intentionally — to value each day, to make impact, to touch lives positively, to be a channel of blessing and to use every moment wisely, aligning your plans with God’s divine purpose.

Spiritual maturity is not about age but about depth of relationship with God. Growing old refers to the passing of time – getting older physically. Growing deep refers to spiritual growth – becoming wiser, stronger in faith, and more rooted in God’s Word and character. Let your wisdom, faith, and love mature with your years.

So, as you celebrate another birthday or reflect on your journey, ask yourself: Am I walking closer with God than last year? Have I become more like Christ in character and compassion? Am I making an eternal impact with my time, gifts, and influence?

Let your next birthday not just mark the passing of time, but the progress of purpose.

Action Nugget: Please, kindly join me to say a word of Thanksgiving to God on behalf of my daughter who adds a new year today.

Text: Lamentations 3:22–23

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Each new day is God’s gracious gift – a fresh beginning filled with new mercies and opportunities to experience His faithfulness. Yesterday’s grace was sufficient for yesterday’s needs, but today requires a fresh supply from the throne of grace.

The Christian walk is a daily journey that cannot be sustained on past encounters. Just as manna could not be stored in the wilderness, yesterday’s grace cannot carry today’s burdens. God designed it that way so we would depend on Him continually, not occasionally. Every morning, He invites us to come boldly before His throne to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

Many grow weary and frustrated because they attempt to live today on yesterday’s strength. But those who wait upon the Lord are renewed day by day. Fresh grace comes through fellowship — time in His Word, in prayer, and in quiet surrender before Him. The strength you need for today’s responsibilities, decisions, and challenges will not come from anxiety or striving, but from resting in His presence.

Today’s text says, “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22–23 (KJV)

No matter how uncertain the day appears, God’s grace will always be sufficient. His faithfulness guarantees that you will not be stranded or overwhelmed. All you need to do is to draw near, stay connected, and receive the fresh grace available for this very day.

Prayer Nugget: Father, this day, I put my trust in you, grant me fresh grace for today’s victories in Jesus name.

Text: Isaiah 43:19

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God specializes in making a way where there seems to be no way. He is not a man; therefore, He cannot be limited by the factors that limit us. He is unstoppable and cannot be hindered by the things that stop others.

Do you find yourself stuck or stranded at this time? Remember Joseph, who was thrown into a pit by his brothers out of jealousy (Genesis 37:23–28). He must have thought his end had come, but that was only the beginning of God’s divine plan. By a miraculous turn, he was lifted out of the pit and sold into slavery—an escape from death that eventually positioned him for greatness (Genesis 39:1–4; 41:38–44).

I prophesy into your life: You will not be stranded in life, in Jesus’ name.

When Jesus was asked to pay tax, though He was exempt as a native of the land, He sent Peter to the sea to catch a fish, and the coin needed for the tax was found in its mouth (Matthew 17:24–27). What looked like an impossible situation became a testimony of divine provision.

At the wedding in Cana of Galilee, the wine ran out and shame was imminent. But because Jesus was present, the situation turned around. At His instruction, the water was turned into wine, and the best was served last (John 2:1–11).

Once again, I declare: You will not be stranded in life, in Jesus’ name. This day, I decree — where others see no way, you will see a divine path. Helpers will locate you, doors will open for you, and you will never be stranded again, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, thank you because you always make a way for your children. As you did for Joseph, Peter, and the family at Cana, make a way for me where there seems to be no way in Jesus name.
