Text: 2 Corinthians 10:6

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Every great victory in Scripture was born out of obedience. When Joshua marched around Jericho, it was not military strategy that brought the walls down — it was obedience to a divine instruction. When Peter cast his net at Jesus’ word, it was obedience that turned failure into abundance.

Many believers desire victory, yet they resist the very commands that would lead them there. Spiritual battles are not always won by strength, but by surrender — not by fighting harder, but by following God’s voice more closely.

Obedience aligns you with divine power. It positions you where God’s hand can work freely. Every act of obedience is an act of warfare — it silences the enemy and invites heaven’s intervention. The devil thrives where disobedience reigns, but he loses ground where believers walk in submission to God’s Word.

The Bible says, “Having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” (2 Corinthians 10:6). That means obedience completes your authority in spiritual warfare. You cannot command what you refuse to obey.

Beloved, God is not just looking for mighty warriors, but obedient soldiers. The victory you seek may be waiting on the instruction you have delayed. Don’t argue — act. Don’t hesitate — obey. Each step of obedience builds spiritual momentum, and soon, what once resisted you will bow before you.

Victory is not in shouting louder, but in obeying faster. Every act of obedience weakens the enemy’s hold and strengthens your position in Christ.

Prayer Nugget: Father, teach me the power of obedience. Help me to hear your voice clearly and follow promptly. Break every resistance in me that delays your will in Jesus name

Bible in One Year: Luke 5–8

Date: Thursday, 23rd October, 2025

Text: 1 Peter 5:8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The Christian life is not a playground; it is a battleground. Every believer who has chosen to follow Christ has automatically enlisted in a war — not against flesh and blood, but against unseen forces of darkness. While some deny or downplay this reality, the enemy exploits ignorance and apathy to gain advantage.

The devil seldom attacks openly. He often comes subtly — through discouragement, distraction, compromise, or pride. He whispers lies that question God’s goodness and twists truth just as he did in Eden. His strategy has not changed: to deceive, divide, and destroy.

This is why the Word warns us: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

Recognizing the battle is the first step to victory. When you understand that your challenges are not merely physical but spiritual, you respond with prayer, not panic; with faith, not fear. You learn to stand your ground, fully clothed in the armour of God.

Beloved, don’t take life’s trials lightly. Every temptation, distraction, or delay could be a tactical move by the enemy to pull you off course. But take heart — the victory is already won in Christ! You are not fighting for victory, but from victory. Stay alert, stay discerning, and keep your eyes on Jesus.

Reflective Nugget: Awareness is the first line of defence. The battle is real — but so is your authority in Christ.

Text: Ephesians 6:11

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

 Samson was one of the strongest men who ever lived — a man anointed from birth, destined to deliver Israel from their enemies. Yet, despite his extraordinary power, Samson made one fatal mistake: he removed his spiritual armour.

At first, Samson’s strength was unmatched because he walked in obedience and separation unto God. But gradually, he began to take his consecration lightly. The same man who once tore a lion apart began to toy with temptation in Delilah’s lap. He forgot that no one wins spiritual battles while playing in the enemy’s camp.

When Samson disclosed the secret of his strength, he unknowingly laid down his armour. The Spirit of the Lord departed from him, and he became an easy prey for those he once conquered. Judges 16:20 records a sad statement: “He did not know that the Lord had departed from him.”

Beloved, many Christians today are like Samson — once on fire, now careless; once alert, now distracted. The enemy is subtle, and he often doesn’t attack frontally. He waits until the believer drops his guard — skips prayer, neglects the Word, or entertains small compromises.

We are living in times that demand unceasing spiritual vigilance. The Bible calls them “perilous times” because the forces of evil are working tirelessly- 2 Timothy 3:1. Every believer must wear the whole armor of God at all times.

The helmet of salvation guards your thoughts; keep it firm, for the battle often begins in the mind. The belt of truth must remain fastened — be grounded in the Word, for deception is Satan’s oldest trick. The breastplate of righteousness shields your heart from corruption. The shield of faith extinguishes every arrow of fear and doubt. The sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, remains your weapon of victory- Ephesians 6:10-18.

Don’t take off your armour after a major victory or during a time of peace. Samson thought he was still strong — until he rose to fight and discovered too late that his power was gone. Stay alert, stay armed, and stay anchored in Christ. The one who keeps his armour on will never become the enemy’s victim.

Reflective Nugget: Have you allowed comfort, carelessness, or compromise to loosen your spiritual armour? Remember — victory belongs to those who remain watchful.

Bible in One Year: Mark 12-16

Date: Monday, 20^th October, 2025

Text: Matthew 8:5-13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One thing that is constant about God is that He relates with each person at their individual level of faith. Three believers may pray to the same God about similar issues, yet receive different outcomes—not because God is partial, but because faith determines divine manifestation.

God can do all things, but He does not always do all things for everyone, simply because not everyone believes He can. Jesus repeatedly asked those who came to Him, “Do you believe I am able to do this?” (Matthew 9:28). Though the Lord knows our needs before we ask, He still seeks our partnership through faith. Faith is the platform that gives God permission to perform His wonders.

Wherever Jesus found faith, power was released without delay. The woman with the issue of blood said within herself, “If I may but touch His garment, I shall be made whole.” She didn’t wait for attention or ceremony; her faith touched heaven, and power flowed instantly. Before Jesus even turned to identify her, her miracle had already been sealed.

Faith is a spiritual currency—it purchases divine intervention. Your miracles can be faster than you think if your faith can carry it. The centurion in Matthew 8:5–13 understood this. When he pleaded with Jesus for his servant’s healing, the Master offered to come physically. But the centurion replied, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof; speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.”

That declaration moved Jesus. It was not a priest, nor a prophet, but a Roman soldier—a man of authority—who understood spiritual authority so deeply that Jesus marveled and said, “I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel.” The servant was healed that very moment.

Many of us, even today, still struggle to believe that God can move without physical touch or elaborate rituals. We think miracles only come through long prayers, mountain-top vigils, or dramatic deliverance sessions. But God’s power is not limited by distance, ceremony, or personality—it is released by faith.

Faith is not a religious performance; it is a spiritual conviction that God’s Word is final. Your miracle does not depend on the pastor’s proximity, but on your belief in God’s ability.

Action Nugget: Ask God to increase your faith. Your miracle is as close as your level of belief.

Text: Mark 1:17

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The word “follow” may seem simple, but in the context of discipleship, it carries deep spiritual weight. In Mark 1:17, when Jesus said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men,” He was not merely calling for companionship – He was calling for commitment and transformation.

In the early days of His ministry, there were different kinds of followers around Jesus. Some followed Him physically – walking in His presence, listening to His words, watching His miracles – yet their hearts remained untouched. They enjoyed His teachings but never allowed those words to change them. They followed because of the miracles, or for the bread and fish He freely gave. These were casual followers – present in body but distant in spirit.

But there was another group – the intentional followers. They opened their hearts to the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. They accepted His salvation, submitted to His lordship, and chose to be identified with Him even when it meant rejection, persecution, or loss. These were true disciples – not following only for what they can get, but for who He is.

The question today is: How are you following? Is your walk with Jesus just about proximity – being around His presence – or intimacy – being changed by His presence? Are you following for the bread, or because He is the Bread of Life?

Reflective Nugget: Following Jesus costs something, but it produces everything. The depth of your following determines the strength of your faith.

Text: 2 Corinthians 10:12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the greatest enemies of personal progress is comparison. The moment you begin to compare yourself with others, you shift your focus from your own God-given assignment to someone else’s. Many people have lost their peace, passion, and productivity because they are too busy measuring themselves by the standards of others.

The Bible warns clearly:

“But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.” — 2 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV)

Each of us was created with unique abilities, timing, and purpose. God did not design life as a race against others, but as a journey of faith and fulfillment within His will for us. When you compare your progress with others, you question God’s wisdom in how He made and positioned you.

Consider this: a palm tree and a maize plant can never grow or mature at the same rate. The maize may shoot up quickly, but it withers within months, while the palm tree takes years to mature yet produces fruit for generations. Don’t despise your process; what God is building in you may take time because it will last long.

When you understand that your life’s journey is distinct, you stop competing and start cultivating your own lane. God rewards faithfulness, not imitation.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, deliver me from the trap of comparison. Help me to find contentment in your plan for my life in Jesus name.

Text: Matthew 25:14-30

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Each time I examine the parable of the talents, I see many lessons for us believers to learn—one of which is that God is the Giver of abilities. Every person has been endowed with unique gifts and talents according to divine wisdom.

“To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to every man according to his several ability.” — Matthew 25:15

It is therefore important for us to know our gifts, develop them, and make maximum use of them, while remembering that we are not all wired or gifted equally. The Apostle Paul also reminds us:

“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.” — Romans 12:6

Ambition is good, but what happens when your ambition does not align with your gifts, talents, or calling? Struggle and failure become inevitable. You are far more likely to excel in your own area of gifting than in another person’s area.

When a duck competes with an eagle in a swimming competition, it is obvious which will thrive and which will struggle. Yet, that the eagle struggles in swimming does not make it weak—it is simply in the wrong terrain. Likewise, a stammerer auditioning for a public speaking or singing contest may struggle, not because they lack value, but because they are operating outside their divine design.

Beloved, discover yourself. Know your strengths and maximize your potentials. The eagle doesn’t need to envy the duck; it only needs to find its own sky and soar. The webbed feet that give the duck success in water are of no use in the air.

If you are struggling in a particular area because you naturally lack certain abilities, do not be discouraged. Look inward—there is a hidden, untapped potential within you. Begin to identify, develop, and refine it. Soon, by God’s grace, you will find yourself excelling naturally and glorifying God through your unique gift.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, open my eyes to discover my unique gifts, talents, and divine assignments in Jesus’ name.

Text: Jeremiah 1:4-5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

You are not a mistake in this world. Out of nearly seven billion people on earth, no two individuals share the same fingerprints or iris patterns. Everyone is uniquely created by God. You are special, and the Almighty has a distinct purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).

The Almighty knows you personally. You are not lost in the crowd. Though you may not be recognized by men, the Most High — whose opinion matters most — knows you and is deeply mindful of you.

The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
(Jeremiah 1:4–5)

In that little corner of the world where you are, He knows exactly where you are, what you do, and how you feel. He knows your limitations, weaknesses, struggles, and heart desires. You are never hidden from His sight. He sees your efforts, your tears, and your faith.

He is your Creator, your Saviour, and your Lover. Why not draw closer to Him and let Him provide solutions to your challenges? Others may not understand you, but He does. He knows the burdens you carry and the silent cries of your heart.

Open your heart to Him today — He has a custom-made solution for your peculiar challenges. He is a loving God who never ignores the cry of the afflicted. When you come to Him sincerely, He will show you mercy without condemnation.

His Word says: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
(Matthew 11:28–29).Come to Him today in sincerity, and watch Him transform your situation for the best — in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, in my little corner of the world, let your presence shine upon me — guide my steps and order my paths in Jesus name.

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.
