Text: Psalm 30:5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When Christ was arrested and beaten like a common criminal, the disciples fled and scattered. In fact, even Peter who hanged around denied him three times. They thought all had come to an end to the ministry of Christ.

When the enemies came to arrest the Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 22 vs 53, he said, “Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour—when darkness reigns.” The power of darkness reigned for a time. It seemed all Hell was let loosed. At a point Christ cried saying, “My God, My God why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27 vs 46. For the very first time he felt abandoned by his heavenly father.

God deliberately lost that battle briefly in order to win the war against the devil.

When they nailed Christ to the cross little did the enemy know that he was nailing his own coffin. The defeat of Christ was temporary. Indeed weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5).

But the grave could not hold Jesus Christ captive. He rose up back to life on the third day to live forevermore. Death was permanently defeated and Jesus Christ became the first born from the dead giving the hope of resurrection and eternal life to all who believe in him.

His temporary defeat led to the harvest of billions of souls. His blood that was shed became an eternal source of cleansing for all who believe in Christ.

The foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of men. None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord Of Glory- 1 Corinthians 2:8

The Spirit that raised Christ from the dead is still alive today. Have you lost a battle recently? Don’t be discouraged; as long as you are on the side of Jesus, you are bouncing back on your feet strong.

Prayer Nugget: Father by your Holy Spirit, I bounce back from every defeat I have suffered in Jesus name

Text: Psalm 24:8, 10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In military language, a battle refers to a single engagement between two or more military units, while a war is a prolonged period of conflict between two or more nations or political factions. A battle is usually fought over a specific objective, such as capturing a town or defending a strategic location, and it typically lasts for a short period of time. A war, on the other hand, involves a series of battles and military operations that take place over a longer period of time.

In Exodus 15:3, the Bible says, “The LORD is a man of war; The LORD is His name– Isaiah 42 Vs 13 says, “The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.”

He is the Commander of Heaven’s armies, the one mighty in battle, and the Lord of Hosts. Psalm 24:8, 10. He is The Chief War Strategist. He, therefore, can never lose a war. However, as part of his war strategy, God can sometimes deliberately decide to lose a battle in order to win a war.

For example God permitted the enemies of Daniel to succeed temporarily (he lost the battle technically because they succeeded in casting him into the lions’ den), however, their victory was short-lived. The lions could not devour Daniel. At the end of the day Daniel had the last laugh as his enemies lost out completely at the end of the day- Daniel 6.

As long as you are on the Lord’s side, that ugly situation will not swallow you. The Man of War will fight for you and turn the situation around in your favour. You will have the last laugh in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Lord of Hosts, please arise on my behalf, fight for me and grant me victory and the last laugh in Jesus name.

Text: Genesis 39:6-23.

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A frame–up or setup is defined as the act of falsely implicating (framing) someone in a crime by providing fabricated evidence or testimony.

Joseph was framed up by Portiphar’s wife because he refused to compromise his faith by having an illicit affair with her. Before he knew what was happening, Joseph landed in prison. He was thus punished for a crime he never committed- Genesis 39:6-23.

Daniel in Babylon also suffered from the hands of evil conspirators. When they realized that the king had a plan to promote him over and above them, they made several means to find fault in him but found none.

Since they knew Daniel was an addicted worshipper of God who prayed three times daily, they devised an official prayer trap. Out of envy, his enemies cajoled the king to issue an order and enforce it strictly. They flattered him into giving orders that for thirty days no one would be permitted to request anything from any god or from any human being except from the king.

They made the king to sign an irreversible executive order which eventually landed Daniel in the lion’s den. But God sent his angels and they shut the mouth of the lions.

The evil plans they devised eventually boomeranged against his enemies as the king gave orders to arrest all those who had accused Daniel, and he had them thrown, together with their wives and children, into the pit filled with lions. Before they even reached the bottom of the pit, the lions pounced on them and broke all their bones- Daniel 6:1-28.

Your enemies will fall into the pit they have dug against you in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: I come against every evil frame-up instigated against me in Jesus name.

Text: Luke 6:12-16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Welcome to the 12^th month of the year. Despite all the challenges that have confronted us, God has indeed been faithful. We give God all the glory.

If you study the number 12 in the scriptures, you would see that it’s quite significant.

Jacob had 12 sons and these 12 sons became the 12 tribes of Israel.  Moses sent out 12 spies in the 13^th chapter of the book of Numbers. Elijah built an altar of 12 stones when he called fire down from heaven in 1 Kings 18.

Christ chose 12 disciples which show the rule and authority of Jesus- Luke 6:12-16; The New Jerusalem has 12 gates and foundations pointing to His glorious reign- Revelation 21:12-14; when Peter cut off the soldier’s ear defending Jesus, Jesus rebuked him, saying He had the power to call down 12 legions of angels- Matthew 26:53; the tree of life will bear 12 fruit crops 12 times a year -Revelation 22.

Thus, we see that the number 12 stands for God’s government or divine order. It is symbolic of the completeness of God’s governing authority.

This new month may the rule of Satan’s government come to an end in your life, family, finances and ministry in Jesus name. May the Lordship and perfect authority of Christ hold sway in your life and situation in Jesus name.

Prayer Nuggets

1. Father thank you for a brand new month.
2. Despite all the challenges of the year, Father we thank you for the testimonies of victories we have.
3. Father, please forgive us and cleanse us from every form of unrighteousness in Jesus name.

7. By the precious blood of the Lamb, I redeem this month from every evil in Jesus name.
8. As we round off the year, my life will not end with this year in Jesus name.

Text: Psalm 18:25-26  

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God is good and he is interested in revealing himself to all. However, he respects our freewill and would not force his will on any one.

In Revelation 3:20, Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.”

God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him- Acts 10:34b-35.

How much of God you will enjoy depends on your relationship with him. We don’t get the same results in our dealings with the lord because we don’t relate with him the same way.

To the faithful he shows himself faithful,   to the blameless he shows himself blameless,
to the pure he  shows himself pure, but to the devious he  shows himself shrewd. Psalm 18:25-26

He said, “I will honor those who honor me, and I will treat with contempt those who despise me.” 1Samuel 2:30b.

As we prepare to enter into the New Year why not determine to turn a new leaf and renew your relationship with your Maker?

Prophetic Nugget: As you renew your ways with the Lord may you see the good side of God in Jesus name

Text: Ephesians 6:2-3

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God’s words don’t contradict one another instead they support one another. The Holy Scriptures don’t negate one another, rather they complement one another. The devil, however, is an expert in twisting the word of God or applying it out of context to achieve sinister motives.

God cannot ask you to do something contrary to his word. If someone comes to you in the name of the Lord and asks you to divorce your spouse because he or she is the one behind your problems such a person cannot be speaking the mind of God.

If for example, you claim that your wife is a witch, why did you marry her when you knew she is a witch? Also if you claim she became a witch after you married her; then the question would be why were you so spiritually negligent and careless to the point that your wife became possessed right under your watch?

In Malachi 2:16, God clearly said, “I hate divorce,” says the lord God of Israel. “I hate it when one of you does such a cruel thing to his wife. Make sure that you do not break your promise to be faithful to your wife.” GNT

In a similar manner if someone comes to you in the name of the Lord and asks you not to take care of your parents because they are the ones behind your challenges. Again this cannot be from God because the word of God clearly says, “Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the Earth-Ephesians 6:2-3

Many homes have been scattered and harmonious relationships ruined by false prophets and teachers.

Don’t be deceived God cannot contradict himself. Therefore, arm yourself with the word of god and safeguard your beautiful relationships from the evil hands of false prophets and teachers.

Reflective Nugget: Don’t be deceived God cannot contradict himself.

Text: Matthew 22:29

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the ways to permanently gain victory over the false prophets and teachers is to have a sound knowledge of the word of God. When you recognize and are well acquainted with the original, nobody can successfully deceive you with the counterfeit. When you are familiar with the real nobody can mislead you with the fake.

The Lord Jesus Christ rebuked some religious leaders who were peddling heresies saying “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” Matthew 22:29

When you are personally sound with the knowledge of the word of God you would be able to readily spot heresies. The Berean Christians were fantastic in this aspect. The scriptures refer to them as being more distinguished than the Thessalonian Christians who just believed everything that Paul said without doing their background checks.

The word of God describes the Berean Christians that they, “Were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.” Acts 17:11

It won’t be possible for any false prophet to swindle you if you are armed with the Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.

Take time to acquaint yourself with the word of God. Examine it daily so that you will no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes- Ephesians 4:14

Key Nugget: It won’t be possible for any false prophet to swindle you if you are armed with the Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.

Text: Revelation 2:18-23

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A classic example of a false prophetess was a woman that Christ identified as Jezebel. She was a self-styled prophetess who taught and seduced God’s servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

Her body language and teachings were all seductive. The spirit of Jezebel is the spirit of seduction, idolatry and control. Even today we have many Jezebelic teachings flying around the churches. Anyone who teaches that God is only concerned with your spirit and soul but not concerned with what you do with your body is towing the same path with Jezebel.

The word of God says our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The body is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 1 Corinthians 6:14

The sound doctrine of God says we should, “Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.’ 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Concerning this false prophetess Jezebel, the Lord warned saying, ‘And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent.Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds.I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.’ Revelation 2: 19-23

Any so called prophet that does not flee from immorality but encourages or tolerates it is false. Beware of such!

Action Nugget; Do not tolerate the spirit of Jezebel in any form.

Text: 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

There was a particular day that Paul and his companions were going to the place of prayer; they were met by a young servant woman who had an evil spirit that enabled her to predict the future. She earned a lot of money for her owners by telling fortunes.

She followed Paul and his team, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God! They announce to you how you can be saved!” She did this for many days, until Paul became so upset that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I order you to come out of her!” The spirit went out of her that very moment.

When her owners realized that their chance of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them to the authorities in the public square- Acts 16:16-19.

The lady was ‘prophesying’ using a spirit of the devil. There are many of such ‘prophets’ in many churches today. Surprising such churches are packed full of people who want someone to predict their future for them.

The fact that someone is able to describe the nature of your problems without you telling him does not make him a true prophet. And if he is not a true prophet, even if he sees and accurately describes your problems he cannot give you a lasting solution.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works-2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

Satan cannot solve the problem he created in your life. He is a deceiver. His so called blessings come with sorrow. The word of God says, “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it- Proverbs 10:22.

Reflective Nugget: Don’t be deceived into being manipulated into the crafty hands of the false prophets.

Text: Matthew 7:15-16.

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the very signs of the Last Days is the proliferation of false prophets.In Matthew 24:4, Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” In verse 11 of the same chapter, the Lord said, “Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.”

We must beware of false prophets, who come in sheep’s clothing, appearing gentle and innocent but inwardly are ravenous wolves. The word of God says, we will know them by their fruits (character)- Matthew 7:15-16.

Any so called Man Of God whose personal private life contradicts the word of God is false. Anyone who says, “Do as I say but not as I do” is not genuine. Any prophet who is not Christ like in character or who does not reflect the holiness of Christ is false.  Anyone who demonstrates the gifts but not the fruit of the Holy Spirit is false.

The false prophets have gained so much ground because they ‘prophesy’ and say things that people love to hear. For example, many church goers love to go to religious places where someone will see visions for them.

We are in the time when people do not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction that challenges them with God’s truth; rather they want to have their ears tickled with something pleasing. Therefore, they have accumulated for themselves many teachers one after another, chosen to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold.They turn their ears away from the truth wander off into myths and man-made fictions-2 Timothy 4:3-4.

Many souls today have become victims of false prophets.

I once came across a man that decided to stop going to church. He abandoned the church for thirteen (13) years being a victim of false prophets. But God showed him mercy. He encountered the Lord personally and God directed him back to the church- this time he was sent to a church where he would hear sound doctrine.

Action Nugget: Don’t be caught in the web of false prophets.
