Text: Revelation 12:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The Scripture reveals a powerful truth about the nature and mission of Satan—the deceiver of the whole world. His strategy has not changed since the beginning. He deceived Eve in the garden by twisting God’s Word, and he continues to deceive men and women today through lies, pride, and false promises. His goal remains the same: to separate humanity from the truth that brings life.

But how is the enemy able to lead so many astray, even in an age filled with knowledge and information? One reason is because people love lies more than truth. Many prefer comfort over conviction, and illusion over illumination.

Jesus said in John 3:19: “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”

The devil exploits this weakness—he feeds men’s appetite for falsehood, appealing to their pride, greed, and lusts. That is why the world easily accepts false doctrines, celebrates immorality, and mocks righteousness. Lies often come dressed attractively, but their end is destruction.

We are living in times when deception is sophisticated—packaged in religion, media, politics, and even relationships.Guard your heart diligently. Test every spirit. Weigh every doctrine. Stay anchored in Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.” Ignorance of God’s Word is the open door to deception. Therefore, build your life upon the sure foundation of the Word. When you walk in truth, you walk in victory over the deceiver.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please open my eyes to discern deception in every form. Help me to love the light and reject every lie of the enemy in Jesus’ name.

Text: Genesis 3:4-5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

To be led astray is to be misled into believing lies. The devil is an expert in deception. In Genesis 3:4-5, we see how Eve was deceived by the serpent, who promised that eating the forbidden fruit would open her eyes and make her like God, knowing good and evil. The deception began subtly, with doubt: “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3:1). This caused Eve to question God’s clear instructions, leading to disobedience and its consequences.

Throughout history, many have been misled in similar ways. Saul persecuted Christians thinking he was serving God (Acts 9:1-2), yet he opposed the very people God had ordained for his salvation. He was so deceived that he oversaw the killing of saints, including Stephen.

In our time, many are enticed by alcohol, drugs, wild partying, sexual recklessness, and gambling, believing these will bring happiness, wealth, or freedom. Others turn to occultic practices seeking power or protection, only to encounter fear, intimidation, untimely death, and eternal destruction (Galatians 5:19-21).

Beloved, the Word of God is our safeguard. It is the source of true righteousness, lasting joy, peace, and blessing (Psalm 119:105; John 16:33). Do not allow doubt, temptation, or lies to mislead you. Stand firm in God’s truth, resist the enemy (James 4:7), and cling to the promises of God, for they never fail.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, guard my heart and mind against the lies of the enemy. Help me to discern truth from deception and to stand firm in your promises in Jesus’ mighty name.

Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the greatest tools the enemy exploits is our ignorance. Many people live in denial of the activities of the evil one. It’s like a person saying he doesn’t believe that armed robbers or kidnappers exist—such a person is living in an imaginary paradise.

The prophet Hosea exclaimed, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6) The knowledge of God’s Word exposes the intentions and strategies of the enemy.

The devil prefers to operate behind the scenes and remain undiscovered, so that you won’t be able to trace him as the source of your problems. As long as he stays hidden, he continues to manipulate events and afflict lives without resistance.

There is a saying that, “The day a lunatic realizes his insanity, that day marks the beginning of his healing.”You cannot solve a problem you do not recognize. The first step toward deliverance is awareness.

The Word of God says, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”(2 Corinthians 2:11). The word “devices” refers to Satan’s evil plans, thoughts, or strategiesdesigned to deceive, divide, or destroy.

Likewise, inEphesians 6:11, Scripture says, “Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” The word “wiles” means tricks, schemes, or crafty plans—the clever and deceitful methods the devil uses to tempt or mislead people away from God.

In essence, both “devices” and “wiles” describe Satan’s cunning strategies to cause believers to sin, stumble, or lose faith. But as we arm ourselves with the knowledge of God’s Word and the power of His Spirit,we can overcome ignorance and stand victorious over every evil scheme.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, let your light expose every dark plan of the enemy around my life, and grant me victory through the knowledge of Christ. In Jesus’ name.

Text: James 5:16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

We conclude our W.R.E.S.T.L.E. series with the final and ultimate ingredient of spiritual wrestling — Effectual Prayer.

Effectual prayer is not mere repetition of words; it is prayer energized by faith and driven by the Holy Spirit. It is a prayer backed up with the right scriptures: prayer that moves heaven and shakes hell. The Word of God says, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This kind of prayer carries power, passion, and persistence.

In 1 Kings 18:42–46, Elijah bowed on Mount Carmel and prayed until the heavens released rain. Though he saw nothing at first, he persisted until his servant saw a small cloud. That is effectual prayer — prayer that refuses to stop until manifestation comes, in other words Praying Until Something Happens (PUSH)

Paul also exhorted in Ephesians 6:18: “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance…”

True spiritual wrestling ends in victory when our prayers are Spirit-led, not flesh-driven. It is the Spirit who gives utterance, direction, and intensity in intercession.

And Romans 8:26 adds: “The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities… for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

Beloved, effectual prayer is the engine of spiritual warfare. It is the place where burdens are lifted, yokes are broken, and destinies are realigned. A believer who prays fervently and consistently cannot remain a victim — because the God of Heaven backs his utterances.

As we end this W.R.E.S.T.L.E. series, remember: victory in spiritual wrestling comes not by strength or emotion, but by divine empowerment through persistent, Spirit-filled prayer.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, ignite my prayer life with fresh fire. Let my prayers avail much and bring glory to your name, in Jesus’ name.

Text: Psalm 119:89

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The sixth ingredient of spiritual wrestling is Loyalty to God’s Word. In every battle, the strength of your stance depends on the foundation beneath your feet. For the believer, that foundation is the unchanging, unshakable Word of God.

When Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness, He triumphed not with emotion, but with the written Word:

“It is written…” (Matthew 4:4–10). Each declaration of Scripture dismantled the enemy’s lie and enforced divine truth. True spiritual wrestlers do not fight with opinions, feelings, or arguments — they stand firm on “Thus saith the Lord.”

The psalmist affirms in Psalm 119:105: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” God’s Word gives direction in the dark, clarity amid confusion, and power over the adversary.

Also, Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that: “The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.” This means every time you speak the Word in faith, you release divine power that cuts through resistance and brings alignment with God’s will.

Beloved, loyalty to the Word means more than quoting Scripture — it means living by it, trusting it, and obeying it even when it’s not convenient. The Word is your weapon, your shield, and your anchor. Every lasting victory in spiritual warfare is born out of steadfast confidence in what God has said.

Prayer Nugget: Father, help me to build my life on your Word. Let your truth dwell richly in my heart and guide my every step in Jesus’ name.

Text: Luke 18:1-8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The fifth ingredient in the spiritual wrestling journey is Tenacity — the steadfast determination to keep praying, believing, and standing until the promise becomes reality.

Our Lord Jesus Christ introduced the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1–8, teaching that, “Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” The widow’s unwavering insistence moved even an unjust judge to act. How much more will a righteous God respond to His children who refuse to give up in prayer!

Tenacity is the attitude of Jacob in Genesis 32:26 when he declared, “I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me.”

After a severe drought and famine that lasted for three and half years, Elijah prayed seven times for rain — not once, not twice, but until he saw a tiny cloud as evidence that God had answered- 1 Kings 18:41–44.

This holy determination attracts divine intervention. Heaven responds to those who cling to God in faith, refusing to be discouraged by delay or silence.

Paul expressed this same spiritual grit in Galatians 6:9: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Tenacity is that inner refusal to quit before the breakthrough. It is the decision to keep fighting, keep believing, and keep declaring until the victory is seen.

Beloved, the strength of your spiritual life is measured by how long you can persist when nothing seems to change. Tenacity is not stubbornness of the flesh; it is steadfastness of the spirit. Those who hold on in faith will always see the faithfulness of God.

Prayer Nugget: Father, give me unwavering tenacity in the place of prayer. Strengthen my faith to hold on until your promises manifest in Jesus name.

Text: James 4:7

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The fourth ingredient in the spiritual wrestling series is Submission — the act of yielding completely to God’s authority and will.

In spiritual warfare, victory begins with surrender. Many try to resist the devil without first submitting to God, and they wonder why the battle feels unending. The order in James 4:7 is divine: Submit to God first, then resist the devil. Submission empowers resistance; rebellion weakens it.

True submission is not weakness — it is alignment. When you come under God’s authority, His power flows through you. Our Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated perfect submission in Luke 22:42 when he prayed saying, “Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done.”

That moment of surrender became the turning point for humanity’s redemption.

Submission means saying, “Yes, Lord,” even when your flesh wants to say no. It is trusting God’s wisdom above your understanding. It is laying down your agenda so that His purpose can prevail.

1 Peter 5:6 reinforces this truth: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” When you submit, God lifts you. When you yield, He shields you. When you surrender, He empowers you to overcome.

Beloved, spiritual wrestling is partnering with God through total surrender. Strength to resist darkness is born in submission. A yielded believer walks in an authority hell cannot withstand.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I surrender my will, my plans, and my desires to you. Teach me to walk in humility and total dependence on your Spirit in Jesus’ name.

Exhortation:

The third ingredient in our journey through W.R.E.S.T.L.E is Endurance — the ability to remain steadfast under pressure until the will of God prevails. Other words for endurance are patience, fortitude and long-suffering.

Endurance is not just passive waiting; it is active persistence in faith. Jesus said, “He that endures to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 24:13). This means that true victory belongs not to the swift or the strong, but to those who refuse to give up, no matter how long the process takes.

Life’s battles are rarely won in one prayer or one day. There are seasons when heaven seems silent, and circumstances contradict the promises of God. In such moments, endurance becomes your anchor. Hebrews 12:1 admonishes: “Let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”

The race of faith is not a sprint; it is a marathon that demands perseverance, trust, and focus on the Author and Finisher of our faith.

The word of God encourages us in James 1:12, saying “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.”

Every season of endurance carries a hidden reward. When you hold on in faith, your trials refine you, your prayers deepen, and your character matures. Beloved, endurance does not mean denial — it means development. God is shaping you into a vessel of strength, stability, and glory. Stand firm, for those who endure will see the promise fulfilled.

Prayer Nugget: Father, grant me grace to endure the process without murmuring. Let patience have her perfect work in me until I obtain the victory you have prepared, in Jesus’ name.

Text: Ephesians 6:10

Exhortation:

The second ingredient in our spiritual wrestling series is Resilience — the inner strength that refuses to give up, even when the battle rages long and hard.

The Apostle Paul charged believers to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” This strength is not of human origin; it flows from deep communion with God. Spiritual resilience is forged in the furnace of prayer, patience, and perseverance.

In 2 Corinthians 4:8–9, Paul describes this divine toughness:

“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.”
Such language reflects the heart of a spiritual wrestler — one who may bend but never breaks, one who may stumble but never surrenders.

Resilience in prayer means holding on when answers delay. It is refusing to let temporary silence make you doubt eternal promises. In Hebrews 10:36, the word of God says,

“For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”

The resilient believer does not draw back; he digs deeper. When faith is tested, resilience keeps you standing. When hope wanes, resilience reignites it. When battles seem endless, resilience whispers, “Press on — victory is near.”

Beloved, in this spiritual contest, your endurance is proof of your maturity. God is not looking for faint-hearted warriors but for those who can stand firm in His strength until His glory is revealed.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, fill me with inner strength by your Spirit. When trials come, help me not to faint or give up. Strengthen me to stand firm in your will until victory is complete, in Jesus’ name.
