Text: Proverbs 3:9–10; Proverbs 11:24–25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the reasons many people are not successful in life is poor financial decisions and planning. Financial prudence is very important in achieving good success. A prodigal spender is already on the path to financial failure, while gambling as a lifestyle is a recipe for disaster. You cannot spend carelessly and expect to build lasting wealth.

Good success does not happen by mere wishful thinking; it requires careful planning. Nothing should be left to chance, except trusting God for favour after you have done the needful through diligence, wise decisions and careful investments. Faith is not an excuse for financial recklessness.

Kingdom investments through first fruits, tithes, freewill offerings and general almsgiving are expressions of honour, worship and obedience to God. Proverbs 3:9–10 teaches us to honour the Lord with our substance and the firstfruits of our increase, while Proverbs 11:24–25 reminds us that generosity does not lead to poverty; the liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that waters shall be watered also.

Learn to manage what God has placed in your hands. Spend wisely, save consistently, invest carefully and remain generous towards God’s work and those in need. Good success is not just about how much you earn, but also how wisely you manage, invest and give what comes into your hands.

Prayer Nugget: Father, grant me wisdom and discipline to make sound financial decisions. Deliver me from wastefulness, greed and financial recklessness. Teach me to honour You with my resources, invest wisely and become a blessing to others, in Jesus’ name.

Text: Proverbs 13:20

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Good success is no respecter of persons. It responds to certain godly principles which, when consistently followed, can produce similar results in the lives of those who apply them. Success is not necessarily reserved for a privileged few; anyone willing to learn and apply the right principles can make meaningful progress.

In every area of life, someone has gone ahead of you. That which you desire to achieve has most likely been achieved by someone else. It is wise to find out what that person did to get to where he or she is and take a cue. You do not have to start from scratch when you can learn from the experience of others.

You can learn these principles by observing the lives of those who have achieved good success. If you can meet them personally, fine and good; but if not, you can read their books, study their journeys and emulate the principles that made them successful. The Bible says, “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed” (Proverbs 13:20).

You can even apprentice under successful people, gaining practical experience, valuable knowledge and useful contacts that may open doors to your own success. Do not allow pride or the assumption that you know it all to rob you of the opportunity to learn. One of the prices of success is the willingness to learn from those who have gone ahead of you.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me a teachable spirit and the humility to learn from those You have positioned ahead of me. Connect me with wise and worthy mentors, and help me to apply the right principles that will lead me into good success, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: Acts 1–3

Text: Proverbs 22:29

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Anything of value does not come cheap; so is success. There is always a price to pay. One of the prices of good success is diligence — consistent hard work. No success for the lazy! As the Scripture says, “He that does not work should not eat.”

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men” (Proverbs 22:29). Success requires sacrifice. You may have to sacrifice some sleep (Proverbs 6:10–11) and other pleasures to achieve your desired outcome. Invest in your dreams. “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:6).

Develop yourself; invest in new skills; make yourself valuable; and learn to delay gratification. “He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame” (Proverbs 10:4–5). Do not expect a harvest where you have made no investment.

Stop giving excuses! If you fail, find out why, learn from the experience and try again with a new method. Diligence is not merely working hard; it is remaining committed, improving your approach and refusing to give up on worthwhile goals. Success has a price tag; you must be willing to pay the price.

Prayer Nugget: Father, deliver me from laziness, excuses and the habit of procrastination. Give me the discipline to work diligently, the wisdom to invest in my future and the strength to remain consistent until I achieve good success, in Jesus’ name.

Bible in One Year: John 20–21

Text: James 1:22–25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In Joshua 1:8, God reveals the pathway to good success: meditating on His Word day and night and observing to do all that is written therein. Three important principles are identified: meditation, obedience and personal responsibility. These are not optional steps; they are the pathway to good success.

One – Meditation: Meditation on God’s Word brings transformation to the soul and renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2). It is not enough to read or hear the Word; we must reflect on it, allow it to take root in our hearts and shape our thoughts and attitudes.

Two – Observing to Do: It is not the hearer of the Word who is blessed, but the doer (James 1:22–25). God’s Word must move beyond our ears and become evident in our actions. Knowing what God says without obeying it cannot produce the blessing attached to obedience.

Three – Make Thy Way Prosperous: The ball is in your court! God has given His Word and shown us the pathway, but we must take responsibility for meditating on it and obeying it. Good success does not happen by mere wishful thinking; it follows a life that is governed by God’s Word.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the grace to meditate on Your Word continually and the discipline to obey all that You have commanded. Let my life be transformed by Your Word, and lead me into good success in every area of my life, in Jesus’ name.

Text: Joshua 1:8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Success is the desire of almost everyone, even though it is not attained by all; nobody loves failure, not even the lazy. However, not every successful outcome is godly, because the end does not justify the means. Achieving a good objective does not make every method used to achieve it acceptable to God.

In Joshua 1:8, we come across a phrase, “Good Success”. If there is good success, then there is also bad success. God is not only interested in your success but also in how you achieve it. Good success is not merely getting what you want; it is getting it God’s way, with your integrity intact, your conscience clear and His blessing upon your life. “Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right” (Proverbs 16:8). Even the proceeds of immorality are rejected as an offering to God (Deuteronomy 23:18).

Good success is more than achieving your goals, acquiring wealth, gaining recognition or attaining a position of influence; it is achieving meaningful results through God’s principles, remaining obedient to His Word and fulfilling His purpose without compromising your integrity.

It is a shame for a student to achieve all A’s in an examination through malpractice and then come to church to give a testimony of success. You cannot use a dishonest means to achieve an outcome and expect God to endorse it.

Reflective Nugget: God is not only interested in your success but also in how you achieved it.

Text: Philippians 2:5–11

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Humility is key to greatness in God’s kingdom. Jesus declared that whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, but whoever humbles himself shall be exalted (Matthew 23:12). James 4:10 equally reminds us to humble ourselves before the Lord, and He will lift us up. The attitude of humility is necessary for a higher altitude.

Jesus Christ remains our perfect example. Though He was equal with God, He made Himself of no reputation, took the form of a servant, and humbled Himself in obedience, even to the death of the cross. Consequently, God highly exalted Him and gave Him a name above every other name (Philippians 2:5–11).

The deeper you go in humility, the stronger your foundation becomes to sustain a skyscraper altitude. Pride may attract temporary attention, but humility attracts God’s grace and favour. Never allow your achievements, position, wealth, or spiritual gifts to make you look down on others.

Friend, do not mistake humility for weakness or low self-esteem. It is the strength to submit to God, acknowledge your limitations, receive correction, and serve others without seeking applause. If you desire to go higher, learn to bow lower before God. The pathway to divine exaltation begins with genuine humility.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the humble heart of Christ. Teach me to submit to You, serve others faithfully, and remain humble as You take me to greater heights, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Text: 2 Samuel 12:13; Luke 18:9–14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Attitude differentiated the two thieves crucified alongside Jesus. They faced the same punishment for their crimes, yet responded differently to the same opportunity. One mocked Jesus, while the other acknowledged his guilt, defended Christ’s innocence, and asked to be remembered. Their attitudes produced different eternal outcomes: one received the promise of Paradise, while the other remained condemned.

David was preferred to Saul because of their different responses to correction and sin. When confronted with his wrongdoing, Saul became defensive and made excuses, but David acknowledged his sin and repented (2 Samuel 12:13). A heart that refuses correction cannot easily experience genuine transformation.

Jesus also told the story of a Pharisee and a tax collector who went to pray. The Pharisee boasted about his righteousness, while the tax collector humbled himself and pleaded for mercy. The tax collector went home justified, but the Pharisee did not (Luke 18:9–14).

Beloved, how is your attitude when you are corrected, confronted with your mistakes, or given an opportunity to repent? Do you defend your wrongdoing or acknowledge it before God? A humble heart attracts God’s mercy, while pride keeps a person trapped in self-deception. Your attitude matters, even in the presence of God!

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me a humble and repentant heart. Deliver me from pride, self-righteousness, and the habit of making excuses for my mistakes. Help me to receive correction, acknowledge my faults, and walk in genuine repentance, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Text: Matthew 15:21–28; Mark 7:24–30

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The Syrophoenician woman demonstrated a remarkable attitude that secured supernatural healing for her daughter. Jesus’ initial response appeared discouraging, but she refused to give up. Instead of becoming offended or walking away, she humbled herself and declared that even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.

Her response revealed extraordinary humility, persistence, and faith. She was a Gentile woman who refused to allow her background or the apparent rejection to become a barrier to her miracle. Jesus commended her faith and granted her request. Her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Many people abandon their pursuit of God at the slightest disappointment. They become offended when answers are delayed, when instructions challenge their pride, or when circumstances do not favour them. But this woman teaches us that a humble and persistent attitude can keep us standing even when everything seems discouraging.

Beloved, never allow temporary disappointment to make you abandon your pursuit of God. Learn to remain humble, persistent, and unwavering in faith. Sometimes, the attitude you demonstrate in the face of discouragement becomes the evidence of the faith that secures your breakthrough. Do not give up!

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the humility, persistence, and unwavering faith of the Syrophoenician woman. Deliver me from offense, discouragement, and impatience. Help me to remain steadfast until my testimony is delivered, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Bible in One Year: John 9–10

Text: Genesis 12:1–4

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Abraham was a man whose attitude towards divine instructions was exemplary. When God instructed him to leave his father’s house, he obeyed and departed. He also promptly circumcised himself and the males in his household as God commanded, and later demonstrated remarkable obedience when asked to offer Isaac.

Even when God instructed him to send away Hagar and Ishmael, Abraham complied after receiving God’s direction (Genesis 21:12–14). He did not allow emotional attachment to override divine instruction. His life demonstrates that genuine faith is not merely hearing God’s Word but responding to it with obedience.

The question is: what is your attitude towards divine instructions? Is it prompt obedience, delayed response, selective obedience, or outright disobedience? Some people obey God only when His instructions are convenient, while others negotiate with God over what He has clearly commanded.

The king’s business requires haste (1 Samuel 21:8). When God gives an instruction, do not allow procrastination, fear, or personal convenience to delay your response. Delayed obedience can become disobedience when we continually postpone what God has commanded us to do. Your attitude towards God’s instructions can determine how far you go with Him.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me the heart of prompt and complete obedience. Deliver me from selective obedience, procrastination, and every excuse that makes me delay Your instructions. Help me to honour Your Word above my personal preferences, in Jesus’ mighty name.

Text: Ecclesiastes 9:10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Attitudes can be cold or warm, indifferent or enthusiastic, careless or committed. How early do you arrive at work? How promptly do you attend to assignments given to you? How quickly do you respond to emails and return business calls? These seemingly little things reveal the attitude you bring to your responsibilities.

Some people are habitually late, while others always have excuses for unfinished assignments. As a student, do you submit your assignments promptly or wait until the deadline is almost over? As an employee or business owner, do you treat your responsibilities with urgency or handle them carelessly?

The Bible says, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Excellence is not only about possessing exceptional abilities; it is also about demonstrating commitment, diligence, and responsibility in ordinary tasks. A poor attitude towards little assignments can disqualify someone from greater opportunities.

Beloved, let your attitude communicate that you are dependable, responsible, and committed. Do not wait to be supervised before doing what is right. People may overlook your excuses, but they will remember your attitude. Your punctuality, responsiveness, and diligence can distinguish you and take you to greater heights.

Prayer Nugget: Father, deliver me from laziness, procrastination, and carelessness. Give me a diligent and enthusiastic spirit, and help me to approach every responsibility with excellence and commitment, in Jesus’ mighty name.
