Text: Proverbs 25:21–22; Matthew 5:43–48

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the most challenging ways of God is that He calls us to love beyond human instinct. Human nature finds it easy to love those who love us and dislike those who hurt us, but God’s way is different. “If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink” (Proverbs 25:21). In God’s Kingdom, kindness is stronger than revenge, and mercy triumphs over bitterness.

Jesus raised the standard even higher when He said, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you” (Matthew 5:44). This kind of love is not natural; it is supernatural. It does not excuse wrongdoing, but it refuses to allow hatred to rule the heart. When we respond with Christlike love, we reflect the character of our Heavenly Father, who shows kindness to both the just and the unjust.

True spiritual maturity is revealed not by how we treat those who are good to us, but by how we respond to those who offend us. Choosing forgiveness over vengeance, blessing over cursing, and prayer over retaliation breaks the cycle of hatred. As children of God, let our lives demonstrate the Father’s perfect love in a world that desperately needs it.

Prayer Nugget: Father, fill my heart with the love of Christ. Give me grace to forgive those who have hurt me, bless those who oppose me, and reflect Your mercy and kindness in every relationship, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Jonah 1–4

Date: Sunday, 20th September, 2026

Text: Mark 11:23–24

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Another way in which God’s ways differ from man’s ways is in the matter of faith. Human reasoning says, “Seeing is believing,” but God’s Word says, “Believing is seeing.” The natural man wants visible evidence before he believes, but God calls us to trust His Word even before the evidence appears. Faith is confidence in God’s promises before they become physical realities.

Jesus taught this principle in Mark 11:23–24 when He said that whoever speaks to a mountain and does not doubt in his heart, but believes, shall have what he says. He further declared, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” God expects us to believe first and then receive. Faith reaches into the invisible realm and lays hold of what God has promised before it manifests in the visible realm.

This was the secret of many heroes of faith. They trusted God’s Word despite contrary circumstances. If God has spoken concerning your life, do not wait for visible proof before believing Him. Hold firmly to His promises, pray with expectation, and continue walking in obedience. In God’s Kingdom, faith comes before sight, and believing comes before seeing.

Prayer Nugget: Father, strengthen my faith to trust Your Word above what I see or feel. Help me to believe Your promises without doubting, and let my faith produce visible testimonies that will glorify Your name, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Obadiah 1

Text: Proverbs 11:24–25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the surprising ways of God is that His economy is different from the world’s economy. Human wisdom says that the way to have more is to hold tightly to everything you possess. But God’s Word declares, “There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty” (Proverbs 11:24). In God’s Kingdom, generosity is not a loss—it is a pathway to increase.

This principle goes beyond money. We can scatter kindness, encouragement, forgiveness, time, prayers, and love, and God has a way of returning what is sown in His own perfect measure. “The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself” (Proverbs 11:25). When we become channels of blessing, God ensures that the channel never runs dry.

Live with an open hand rather than a clenched fist. Give as the Holy Spirit leads, help those in need, and trust God as your Source rather than your possessions. The more you reflect God’s generous nature, the more you position yourself to experience His abundant provision.

Prayer Nugget: Father, deliver me from the fear of lack and give me a generous heart. Make me a channel of blessing to others, and let Your abundant provision continually flow through my life, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Amos 1–4

Date: Friday, 18th September, 2026

Text: Matthew 20:25–28

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the greatest ways of God is that true greatness is measured by service. The natural man often seeks titles, recognition, and opportunities to exercise authority over others. But Jesus overturned the world’s definition of greatness when He said, “Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister” (Matthew 20:26). In God’s Kingdom, leadership is not about being served; it is about serving.

Jesus is our perfect example. Though He is the King of kings, “the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28). He washed His disciples’ feet, fed the hungry, healed the broken, and ultimately laid down His life for humanity. His greatness was revealed through humility, sacrifice, and love.

If we truly desire to walk in God’s ways, we must exchange pride for servanthood. Whether at home, in church, at work, or in society, seek opportunities to lift others rather than dominate them. The hands that serve faithfully are the hands that God delights to honour.

Prayer Nugget: Father, clothe me with the humility of Christ and give me a servant’s heart. Help me to seek greatness through serving others, and let my life reflect the love and selflessness of Jesus, in His mighty name.

Bible in One Year: Joel 1–3

Date: Thursday, 17th September, 2026

Text: 1 Corinthians 1:27–29

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the remarkable ways of God is that He delights in using the unlikely to accomplish extraordinary things. Scripture says, “God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise” (1 Corinthians 1:27). He often chooses ordinary, overlooked, and seemingly unqualified people so that His power—not human ability—will receive the glory. Gideon, David, the fishermen disciples, and many others stand as proof that God is not limited by human qualifications.

The world celebrates status, wealth, influence, and academic achievement, but God looks beyond outward credentials and sees the heart. This does not mean God despises education or excellence; rather, He opposes human pride and self-sufficiency. When God lifts the humble and works through the weak, no one can boast in His presence, because the victory clearly belongs to Him.

Therefore, never disqualify yourself because of your background, limitations, or lack of recognition. If God has called you, He will also equip you. His ways remind us that divine purpose is fulfilled not by self-confidence alone, but by complete dependence on His grace and power.

Prayer Nugget: Father, remove every trace of pride from my heart and help me to depend completely on You. Use my life for Your glory, and let Your strength be perfected in my weakness, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Hosea 10–14

Text: Exodus 34:6–7

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The ways of God are a reflection of His character. When the Lord revealed Himself to Moses, He proclaimed, “The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” (Exodus 34:6). This reveals that God’s actions always flow from who He is. His mercy is not weakness, His patience is not indifference, and His goodness never compromises His truth.

The same God who forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin is also perfectly just. Exodus 34:7 reminds us that He “will by no means clear the guilty.” God’s mercy and justice are never in conflict. He lovingly gives room for repentance, but He also upholds righteousness. At the Cross, both His mercy and His justice met perfectly in Jesus Christ.

If we are to walk in God’s ways, we must reflect His character in our daily lives. Be merciful without compromising truth, be patient without approving sin, and be gracious without abandoning righteousness. The more we know God’s character, the more we become like Him.

Prayer Nugget: Father, let Your character be formed in me. Make me merciful, gracious, patient, truthful, and steadfast in righteousness, so that my life will reflect Your ways wherever I go, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Hosea 5–9

Date: Tuesday, 15th September, 2026

Text: Isaiah 55:8–9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Sometimes we forget that God is not a man. Although we were created in His image, His thoughts are infinitely higher than ours. The Lord declares, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways” (Isaiah 55:8–9). While man is often limited by outward appearances, God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7) and judges with perfect wisdom.

The natural man is often inclined toward pride, self-exaltation, and human reasoning, but God’s nature is altogether different. “Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth” (Psalm 113:6). He is also unchanging in His character, for “God is not a man, that he should lie” (Numbers 23:19). What He promises, He fulfils, and what He speaks, He brings to pass.

If we truly desire to be sons and daughters who reflect our Heavenly Father, we must learn to think and live according to His ways. Let His Word shape your mind, His humility govern your heart, and His truth direct your decisions. The closer we become to God, the more our thoughts, attitudes, and actions begin to resemble His.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to reject human pride and embrace Your higher ways. Let my thoughts, attitudes, and decisions be shaped by Your Word, and make me a true reflection of Your character, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Hosea 1–4

Text: 2 Kings 19:35

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Many times, God arises at night to avenge His people against stubborn and unrepentant enemies. When Pharaoh refused to release Israel, the Lord struck Egypt, and all the firstborn of humans and animals died in one night. “And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.” — Exodus 12:29.

When Pharaoh still pursued Israel after their deliverance, God fought for them and destroyed the Egyptian army in the Red Sea. Sennacherib also threatened Judah, but God intervened in the night and 185,000 Assyrian soldiers were slain by one angel. “And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand.” — 2 Kings 19:35.

Are you threatened by a host of enemies or surrounded by stubborn opposition? Fear not, for the God who fought for Israel and defended Judah remains the same today. “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” — Exodus 14:14. Tonight, may the Lord arise on your behalf, silence every opposition, and give you victory while you hold your peace.

Prayer Nugget: Father, arise tonight and fight every stubborn enemy resisting Your purpose for my life. Let every power pursuing me be silenced, and give me victory by Your mighty hand, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Daniel 9–12

Date: Sunday, 13th September, 2026

Text: Acts 12:5–11; Acts 16:25–26

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Prison doors are supernaturally loosed at night when believers seek God in prayer. Peter was kept in prison, but “prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him” (Acts 12:5). As the church prayed, an angel came, his chains fell off, and the prison door opened.

Paul and Silas also experienced supernatural deliverance at midnight. “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God” (Acts 16:25). Suddenly, there was a great earthquake, the prison foundations were shaken, the doors opened, and “every one’s bands were loosed” (Acts 16:26).

Are you bound by the chains of the enemy or trapped in a situation that appears impossible? Do not resign yourself to fate or wait for the worst to happen; arise and seek the Lord. “Arise, cry out in the night” (Lamentations 2:19), for “He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder” (Psalm 107:14).

Brace yourself in faith, for the Lord is able to turn your night into a testimony. “The snare is broken, and we are escaped: our help is in the name of the LORD” (Psalm 124:7–8). Every chain shall break, every prison door shall open, and your deliverance shall manifest in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, arise in Your power tonight and break every chain of bondage around my life. Open every prison door and deliver me from every power holding me captive. Let my night end in supernatural freedom and testimony, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Daniel 6–8

Date: Saturday, 12th September, 2026

Text: Lamentations 2:19; Matthew 13:25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus warned that “while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat” (Matthew 13:25). The enemy often works secretly, planting seeds of affliction, delay, fear, confusion, and spiritual compromise under the cover of darkness. That is why every believer must remain spiritually watchful and refuse to give the enemy an advantage through prayerlessness.

Whatever the enemy has planted, God has the power to uproot. No work of darkness is beyond His ability to reverse, and no situation is too concluded for His intervention. The Lord who restores wasted years is still able to reverse the irreversible, undo the concluded works of darkness, and restore everything the night raiders have stolen.

The Bible gives us a clear strategy: “Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord” (Lamentations 2:19). Do not merely lament your losses—turn your midnight into a prayer altar. As you arise and cry to God for restoration, He will uproot every evil seed and cause you to recover all that the enemy thought was permanently lost.

Prayer Nugget: Father, as I arise to cry to You in the night, uproot every evil seed planted against my life. Reverse the irreversible, undo every concluded work of darkness, and let me recover all that the enemy has stolen, in Jesus’ name.
