Love That Reflects Christ

Date: Saturday, 14th February, 2026

Text: 1 Corinthians 13:4–7

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

On a day when the world celebrates love, we are reminded of a love far deeper than romance. Scripture says, “Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up” (1 Corinthians 13:4). God’s kind of love is patient, selfless, and rooted in sacrifice rather than emotion.

What many describe as love today is often merely lust. Lust is driven by pleasure, rooted in carnality, and centered on self-gratification rather than genuine commitment.

True love reflects the character of Christ. It gives without demanding, forgives without keeping score, and remains steady even when feelings fluctuate. The love of God is not seasonal; it is sacrificial, covenantal, faithful, and enduring.

Valentine’s Day is not only for expressing affection to people, but also for examining the quality of our love. Are we loving for public approval or are we loving as Christ loved us? When God’s love fills the heart, relationships become healthier and motives become purer.

A heart anchored in divine love shines brighter than any public display of affection. When we love God first, we learn how to love others rightly. The greatest gift we can offer anyone is a life shaped by Christ-like love.

Prayer Nugget: Lord, fill my heart with your pure and selfless love. Teach me to love others as you have loved me in Jesus’ name.

Light That Glorifies God

Date: Friday, 13th February, 2026

Text: Matthew 5:16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). The purpose of our light is not self-exaltation but divine glorification. Every good work is designed to direct attention to God, not to ourselves.

True light reflects the character and nature of the Father. When our motives are pure, our service becomes a testimony of His grace at work within us. People may see our actions, but heaven receives the glory.

Service becomes worship when done with a surrendered heart. When recognition is no longer the pursuit and obedience becomes the priority, God is magnified. A God-centered life shines the brightest because it reflects Him without obstruction.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, purify my motives and let my life continually reflect your goodness, in Jesus’ name.

The Measure You Use

Date: Thursday, 12th February, 2026

Text: Mark 4:24–25; Luke 8:18

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus revealed a profound spiritual principle when He said, “Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you” (Mark 4:24). Our growth in God is not accidental; it is directly connected to how we receive and respond to His truth. The measure of attention, faith, and obedience we apply determines the measure of revelation and increase we experience.

Obedience opens the door for greater light. When truth is welcomed, practiced, and honored, spiritual understanding expands. However, Scripture also cautions us, “Take heed therefore how ye hear” (Luke 8:18), reminding us that careless or passive hearing can lead to gradual spiritual decline. Neglecting revealed truth slowly dims sensitivity to God’s voice.

God increases light where faith is consistently exercised. Those who walk faithfully in what they know are entrusted with deeper insight and stronger conviction. Every step of obedience sharpens discernment and strengthens spiritual capacity. The measure you use today determines the light you will walk in tomorrow.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, teach me to hear your Word with diligence and respond with wholehearted obedience in Jesus’ name.

Light Reveals and Transforms

Date: Wednesday, 11th February, 2026

Text: Mark 4:22

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Light reveals what darkness tries to conceal. Jesus said, “For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested” (Mark 4:22, KJV). God exposes not to shame us, but to bring us into freedom.

Divine light searches the heart with precision and mercy. God’s truth reveals sin not to condemn, but to restore and realign. Exposure in God’s presence is the beginning of healing.

When light enters, darkness loses its authority and grip. Secrets lose power when surrendered before the Lord. What is brought into the light can no longer control you.

Transformation begins when we allow God’s Word to search us deeply. A revealed life is a growing life, and a growing life becomes fruitful. Yield to His light today, and let Him perfect what concerns you.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, shine your light into every hidden place of my heart. Expose what must be removed and transform me by your truth in Jesus’ name.

Remove the Basket

Date: Tuesday, 10th February, 2026

Text: Mark 4:21

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Many believers carry God’s light but cover it with fear, compromise, or hesitation.
Jesus reminds us that a candle is not lit to be hidden, but to illuminate its surroundings.
Light fulfills its purpose only when it is visible and allowed to shine.

Often, comfort, shame, or people’s opinions become the basket over our light.
What God placed within us to bless others is hidden to avoid rejection or conflict.
Yet acceptance without obedience slowly silences our witness.

Jesus challenges us to remove whatever limits our impact and expression of faith.
As Scripture affirms, “Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel…?” (Mark 4:21).
Hidden light cannot guide anyone out of darkness.

Freedom begins when we choose obedience over fear and truth over convenience.
When the basket is removed, the light shines boldly and glorifies God.
This is the season to let your light be seen without apology.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, help me remove every basket covering the light you placed in me in Jesus’ name.

Light Is Meant to Be Seen

Date: Monday, 9th February, 2026

Text: Matthew 5:15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God never designed light to be hidden or confined. Scripture affirms, “No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light” (Luke 11:33). Light fulfills its purpose only when it is visible.

Faith may be personal, but its impact is meant to be public. Jesus teaches that light is positioned deliberately, not accidentally—“Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house” (Matthew 5:15). Our daily conduct speaks loudly, often louder than our words.

When we live openly for Christ- through integrity, love, and obedience—others encounter God’s goodness through us. Visible faith creates divine opportunities for truth to shine, hearts to be drawn, and God to be glorified.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to live boldly and visibly for you. Let my life shine in such a way that others may see your light and be drawn to you, in Jesus’ name.

You Are the Light

Date: Saturday, 7th February, 2026

Text: Matthew 5:14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Jesus declares that believers are the light of the world, not future candidates waiting for approval (Matthew 5:14). This establishes our identity in Christ before any responsibility is assigned to us.
We shine because God has already placed His light within us, just as He promised in John 8:12: “Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Our identity in Christ must come before our actions for Him. When identity is settled, obedience flows naturally and without pressure. Knowing who we are in Him gives direction and purpose to our daily living (Ephesians 5:8), calling us to “walk as children of light.”

Light shines effortlessly because of its nature, not because it struggles to be seen. In the same way, a life filled with Christ will naturally reflect His character. The presence of Christ within us makes our lives a testimony, drawing others to God through our words and deeds.

When we understand who we are in Christ, confidence replaces fear and hesitation. We no longer hide our faith but express it through love and good works. As we live boldly, God’s light shines through us to bless the world, fulfilling His purpose and glorifying His name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please help me to walk boldly in my identity in Christ and let my life reflect Your glory.in Jesus’ name.

Your Heart, Your Choice

Date: Friday, 6th February, 2026

Text: Luke 8:15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In the parable of the sower, Jesus made it clear that the seed was the same everywhere; only the soil differed. God’s Word is constant, powerful, and life-giving, but its outcome in our lives depends on how our hearts receive it. A good heart hears the Word, understands it, keeps it, and brings forth fruit with patience, as seen in Luke 8:15.

Your heart condition is your personal responsibility. No one else chooses your soil for you. What you allow into your heart, what you nurture, and what you uproot all determine the harvest you experience. Scripture reminds us to guard our hearts diligently, because life flows from it (Proverbs 4:23).

Transformation does not happen by chance; it happens by intentional cultivation. A prepared heart is humble, teachable, and responsive to God. When the heart is aligned, the Word gains strength, and growth becomes inevitable.

This season is a call to honest self-assessment. God desires not just hearers of the Word, but doers who allow it to shape their lives. Choose a good heart, and the Word will produce lasting fruit to the glory of God.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please help me to guard my heart diligently and respond rightly to Your Word, in Jesus’ name.

A Prepared and Productive Heart

Date: Thursday, 5th February, 2026

Text: Matthew 13:8, 23

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation

Jesus described the good soil as a heart that hears the Word, understands it, retains it, and responds in obedience. Such a heart does not only receive the Word with joy but allows it to take deep root and produce fruit. Fruitfulness is the evidence that the Word has truly been received and embraced.

While believers may not all bear the same quantity of fruit, every genuine believer is expected to bear fruit. Some yield thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, and others a hundredfold, but barrenness is never God’s intention. As Jesus taught, growth may differ, yet a fruitless life signals a problem at the root.

Spiritual activity must not be mistaken for spiritual productivity. Busyness without fruit does not please God. The true measure of spiritual health is not how much we do, but what our lives produce for God’s glory, as echoed in John 15:8 where fruitfulness brings honour to the Father.

This season calls for heart preparation. A receptive, obedient, and disciplined heart creates room for lasting impact. When the heart is cultivated, the Word thrives, and fruit becomes inevitable. God desires a life that consistently reflects His nature and advances His purpose.

Key Nugget: The measure of spiritual health is fruitfulness, not activity.

Beware of Divided Affections

Date: Wednesday, 4th February, 2026

Text: Matthew 13: 7, 22

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation

Jesus warned about the danger of a heart that receives God’s Word while allowing competing interests to grow alongside it. In the parable of the sower, the thorny soil heard the Word, but worries of life, the pursuit of riches, and worldly desires gradually choked its growth. As Proverbs 4:23 reminds us, “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Divided affection is subtle. It is not the absence of God, but the presence of too many rivals in the heart. When attention is split, spiritual growth is stunted. Jesus clearly stated that “No man can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24), because what dominates the heart ultimately determines direction and outcome.

God desires wholehearted devotion. He calls for a heart that is yielded, focused, and willing to uproot anything that competes with His voice. True fruitfulness flows from loving the Lord with all the heart, soul, and strength, as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:5. Anything less weakens spiritual vitality.

This season calls for sincere self-examination. Whatever you refuse to confront today may suffocate your spiritual life tomorrow. We are commanded to set our affection on things above (Colossians 3:2), to give God first place, so that His Word will produce lasting fruit in us.

Prayer Nugget: Father,please,uproot every distraction that competes with your Word in my heart, and help me to love you with an undivided heart, in Jesus’ name.
