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.

Bible in One Year: Daniel 4–5

Date: Friday, 11th September, 2026

Text: Genesis 14:14–16; 1 Samuel 30:6–19

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The night is naturally a time of rest, but throughout Scripture it also became a time when God gave His people strategic victories. While others slept, men of faith remained spiritually alert. The believer must never become careless in the place of prayer, for many battles are won before the dawn breaks.

When Lot and his family were taken captive, Abraham armed his 318 trained servants and pursued the enemy. “He divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night” (Genesis 14:15), defeated the stronger forces, and recovered everything that had been stolen.

Likewise, when the Amalekites raided Ziklag, carried away David’s wives, children, and possessions, and burned the city with fire, David first encouraged himself in the Lord, sought God’s direction, and then pursued the enemy. From the twilight attack until the next day, God gave him victory, and David recovered all (1 Samuel 30:17–19).

Have you lost anything to the raiders of darkness—your peace, joy, opportunities, health, or spiritual fire? Stop weeping endlessly and begin to seek God with renewed faith. As the Lord told David, “Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all” (1 Samuel 30:8). Your God still gives victory, and He is able to restore everything the enemy thought was permanently lost.

Prayer Nugget: Father, strengthen me to prevail in the place of prayer. Every good thing stolen by the enemy, let me pursue, overtake, and recover all through the victory of Christ, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Daniel 1–3

Date: Thursday, 10th September, 2026

Text: Exodus 14:13–16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

We serve a loving and compassionate God who still answers prayers. He is “slow to anger, and of great mercy” (Numbers 14:18), yet He is also righteous and does not leave the guilty unpunished. His mercy invites us to come boldly to Him, knowing that no sincere cry of faith escapes His attention.

Sometimes life presents situations that look like a dead end. Israel stood helpless before the Red Sea while Pharaoh’s army pursued them from behind, and there seemed to be no escape. But when God stepped into the situation, the impossible became a pathway, and what looked like their end became the beginning of a great testimony (Exodus 14:13–16).

If you are facing a Red Sea moment today, do not surrender to fear or despair. The God who made a way where there was no way has not changed. Remain hopeful, stand firm in faith, keep praying, and trust His faithfulness, for He will make a way for you too.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I place every impossible situation before You today. Make a way where there seems to be no way, strengthen my faith, silence every fear, and let my Red Sea become a testimony, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 47–48

Date: Wednesday, 9^th September, 2026

Text: Romans 1:16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In order to win souls and enlarge God’s Kingdom, we need the tongue as a tool for preaching the Gospel. Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” God has entrusted us with the responsibility of making Christ known, and our tongue is one of the primary instruments He uses to accomplish this.

A word spoken in faith can introduce someone to the saving power of Jesus Christ. We must therefore refuse to use our tongues only for complaints, criticism, gossip, or discouragement when there are lives around us that need to hear the Gospel. Proverbs 11:30 says, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” A wise tongue is a soul-winning tongue.

Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” We cannot fulfil this command without opening our mouths to speak about Christ. Ask God to sanctify your tongue and make it a vessel of salvation, encouragement and truth. Let your words point people to Jesus, because one conversation, one testimony, or one invitation may become the turning point in someone’s life.

Key Nugget: A wise tongue is a soul-winning tongue.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 44–46

Date: Tuesday, 8th September, 2026

Text: Psalm 34:1; Acts 16:25–26

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The tongue is a major tool God has given us to magnify Him and bless His holy name. Through the tongue, we declare His glory, testify of His goodness, and offer the fruit of our lips as praise. The psalmist says, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1). Therefore, let your tongue continually speak words that honour God, regardless of what you may be going through.

Rather than using our tongues to tale-bear, slander, curse, gossip, or meddle in the affairs of others, let us use it to magnify the Lord above our challenges and circumstances. Paul and Silas understood this principle when they prayed and sang praises to God at midnight while they were in prison. They refused to allow their difficult situation to determine the content of their conversation; instead, they filled the prison with praises unto God.

As they praised God, there was suddenly a great earthquake, the prison doors were opened, and everyone’s chains were loosed (Acts 16:25–26). What appeared to be a place of confinement became a place of supernatural freedom because their praise invited divine intervention.

Keep magnifying the Lord, even in the midst of your challenges, and as you use your tongue wisely, may every prison door, chain, and limitation standing against you crash down before your very eyes, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to use my tongue wisely. Let my mouth continually magnify You, even in the midst of challenges. As I praise You, let every prison door, chain, and limitation in my life be broken, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 41–43

Date: Monday, 7th September, 2026

Text: Colossians 4:6; James 1:19

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God desires that our words be “always with grace, seasoned with salt” (Colossians 4:6), so that they will benefit both us and those who hear them. The tongue has tremendous power—it can ignite conflict or bring peace. Consider Gideon’s gentle answer to the Ephraimites, which calmed their anger (Judges 8:1–3), and compare it with Jephthah’s harsh response in a similar situation, which resulted in a tragic civil conflict (Judges 12:1–6). The difference was not merely the situation but the words they chose.

That is why Scripture instructs us to be “swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19). Wise people process their words before releasing them. A careless tongue can separate close friends, destroy relationships, and deepen wounds, while a gracious tongue can reconcile enemies, restore broken hearts, and build lasting peace.

Make your tongue an instrument of blessing. Let your words encourage the discouraged, comfort the hurting, correct with love, and speak hope into hopeless situations. Bless rather than curse, for when our speech is governed by God’s wisdom, our tongues become true channels of life, healing, and blessing.

Prayer Nugget: Father, let my words always be seasoned with grace and wisdom. Give me the discipline to listen before I speak, and make my tongue a channel of peace, healing, encouragement, and blessing, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 39–40

Date: Sunday, 6^th September, 2026

Text: James 5:16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed” (James 5:16). The tongue is not only meant for declaring victory; it is also God’s instrument for humility, healing, and restoration. Genuine confession breaks the power of pride, brings hidden burdens into the light, and opens the door for sincere prayer and healing.

Confessing our faults does not mean broadcasting our weaknesses to everyone. It means being honest before God and appropriately accountable to trusted, mature believers who can pray, counsel, and help us walk in victory. Many remain bound because they hide what God wants to heal, but freedom often begins where honesty begins.

James concludes by saying, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” A tongue that confesses sincerely and prays fervently becomes a channel through which God releases healing, restoration, and breakthrough. Use your tongue wisely—not to hide behind pride, but to speak truth, seek help when necessary, and call upon God with wholehearted faith.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the humility to be honest before You and the wisdom to remain accountable where necessary. Let my tongue become an instrument of truthful confession, fervent prayer, and divine healing, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 36–38

Date: Saturday, 5^th September, 2026

Text: Luke 23:39–43; Romans 10:10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:10). God has given the tongue a vital role in His plan of redemption. Faith begins in the heart, but it is expressed through confession. A believing heart and a confessing mouth work together to bring a person into the experience of salvation.

The thief on the cross illustrates this beautifully. While hanging beside Jesus in his final moments, he acknowledged Christ’s innocence, confessed his own guilt, and cried, “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom” (Luke 23:42). That sincere confession opened the door to eternal life, and Jesus replied, “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). He enjoyed the fruit of his lips even at the closing moments of his life.

A closed mouth may sometimes become a closed destiny. Therefore, never be ashamed to confess Christ, declare God’s promises, and speak words that agree with His truth. The same mouth that confesses Jesus as Lord should continually proclaim faith, hope, and life, because God honours words that flow from a heart that truly believes.

Reflective Nugget: What is your mouth consistently declaring—fear or faith, defeat or victory, silence or surrender to Christ? Let your confession today reflect the faith that lives in your heart.
