His Ability In Disability

Date: Wednesday, 30th April, 2025

Text: Exodus 4:1-13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When God called Moses for a special assignment, the man declined. He even asked God to send someone else because he was a stammerer. The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” Exodus 4:11-12

Humanly thinking one would think Moses should have received his healing at this point but he did not. God was trying to prove a point. The Lord preferred to use him with his disability.

Your disability cannot stop God from using you, therefore, stop looking down on yourself.

Paul The Apostle, a very highly anointed man of God had a thorn in his flesh- an affliction that left him tortured. Three times He pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But God declined his request instead he said to him, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:7-9

The apostle had access to surpassingly great revelations that could easily puff him up. so in order to keep him from being excessively proud, God allowed the challenge in his life- 2 Corinthians 12:7-8.

Some of the most powerful christian hymns we sing today were composed by saints that were born blind and remained blind till they went to be with the Lord. Yet they made more impact in the world than many without any physical disability.The grace of God was sufficient for them.

A very good example was Fanny J. Crosby, an American missionary, poet, lyricist, and composer. She was a prolific hymnist who wrote more than 8,000 hymns and gospel songs, with more than 100 million copies printed. She was the composer of the popular hymns “Blessed Assurance”,  “Pass Me Not O Gentle Saviour”, “To God Be The Glory” etc

You will not be swallowed up in that challenge.  Don’t limit yourself because of a disability or health challenge. There is ability in that disability.

Prophetic Nugget: The name of the Lord will be glorified in that physical health challenge or disability in Jesus name.

He Is Good

Date: Tuesday, 29th April, 2025

Text: Psalm 100:5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Today’s text says, “For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” Psalm 100:5

He is good when things are bright and when things are dull. He remains good when you are in health or in sickness. His character does not turn to evil whether you are rich or poor. Indeed seasons may change but the Most High doesn’t. He is a Covenant-Keeping God irrespective of the weather.

No wonder the prophet Habakkuk said, “Even though the fig trees have no fruit and no grapes grow on the vines, even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no grain, even though the sheep all die and the cattle stalls are empty, I will still be joyful and glad, because the Lord God is my savior.” Habbakuk 3:17-18

Truly the Lord is good but situations may sometimes present themselves to prove otherwise. The cloud may seem dark for sometime but the word of God says, “Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning” Psalm 30:5

Are you currently passing through a situation where you doubt the goodness of the Most High? That is exactly what the devil wants to achieve. He is all out to prove that God is not good; don’t fall for his trap. That current situation will soon pass. The cloud will soon pass away and the Sun will shine again. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice. Your tomorrow in Christ is alright in Jesus name.

Prophetic Nugget: That current situation will soon pass; your testimony will be full and you will laugh last in Jesus name.

He Knows How You Feel

Date: Sunday, 27th April, 2025

Text: Hebrews 4:14-15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Are you feeling lonely, dejected and frustrated? Does it seem everything is going against you and there seems to be no way no matter how hard you try? Do you feel abandoned, betrayed and stranded? Today’s message is for you.

The Lord Jesus left his glory in Heaven and he humbled himself to appear in human form dwelling amongst us. He did this to identify with our weaknesses and frailties.

He knows exactly how you feel. He knows your pains, worries, anxieties and concerns.

While the children of Israel traveled in the wilderness to the Promised Land, they passed through a lot of difficulties. However, in all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old- Isaiah 63:9.

Whenever you feel sorrowful, disappointed or dejected, remember the Lord Jesus Christ has passed through worse situations. He knows how you feel and is standing beside you to strengthen and comfort you on all sides.

Our High Priest is not one who cannot feel sympathy for our weaknesses. On the contrary, we have a High Priest who was tempted in every way that we are, but did not sin. Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God—Jesus, the Son of God.

Feel free to approach his throne of mercy and ask for grace anytime you are in need.

Prayer Nugget: Father, thank you for your Son Jesus Christ who feels what we feel.

Engage The Praise Key

Date: Saturday, 26th April, 2025

Text: Psalm 103:1-5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Sometimes you have done all you know how to do and yet you are not able to achieve what you desire. May be you have prayed, fasted, attended special prayer meetings, quoted all known scriptures and yet you still get no desired results. You even spend hours staying awake and crying to God in the night but still you don’t get what you desire.

Do you then give up? Certainly not. When all fails there is still something to do. David the sweet psalmist of Israel was unusually victorious because he understood the power of this spiritual phenomenon.

In Psalm 103:1-2, david said, “ Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.” Again in Psalm 34 vs 1, David, said, “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.”

When you have tried all other steps of faith and achieve no results resort to the praise key. It opens heavens doors. The word of God says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name- Psalm 100:4-5.

If you pray amiss, you can’t praise amiss. God inhabits the praises of his people. Try praise; praise God with all your heart. Abandone yourself in his presence and praise him intensely. His presence will come down and your case will be settled in Jesus name.

Key Nugget: If you pray amiss, you can’t praise amiss.

A Symbiotic Christian? (2)

Date: Friday, 25th April, 2025

Text: – 1 Samuel 1:1–20

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Just as we all have needs, God’s kingdom on Earth also has needs.

There was a time the priesthood in Israel was corrupted by the two priests, both of them the sons of Eli, Hophni And Phinehas who were violent men. They had abused their power as priests over Israel to serve their selfish appetites. They demanded the best cuts of meat from the sacrifices of the people before they were offered to the Lord (1 Samuel 2:12–17), and they had sex with the women serving outside of the tent of meeting (1 Samuel 2:22).

Their sins were great in the sight of the Most High and God was seriously in need of a replacement.

Hannah had been going to Shiloh for many years in a desperate desire for a child because she was barren. She saw the need in the priesthood and made up her mind to meet that need. She changed her prayer point.

Instead of just praying that “Father, give me a child and remove my reproach”- a selfish personal reason, she prayed a selfless prayer saying, ““Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.” 1 Samuel 1:11

She met God’s need and God met her need in a miraculous and a symbiotic manner.

If your prayer has not been answered, why not consider modifying it in such a way that the answer to your prayer will meet God’s needs?

Prayer Nugget: Father, please use me to meet your kingdom needs in Jesus name.

A Symbiotic Christian?

Date: Thursday, 24th April, 2025

Text: – 2 Samuel 24:22-25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

I had a friend during my undergraduate days who always visited me only when he needed something. Each time he visited I always knew he needed something. And funny enough, once he got what he wanted he would always get up almost immediately and leave; only to visit again when he had a need.

What will be your opinion about a friend who only calls you when he needs something? No wonder some people are reluctant to pick the calls of some callers. Infact, some may even go to the extent of avoiding such callers or outrightly blocking them.

Good relationships are meant to be mutual not one sided. If it is one sided, then it is not symbiotic. Our dealings with the Lord should not be based only on what we can get but also what we can give or what we can sacrifice. Sacrifice doesn’t always have to be monetary or material but it must cost you something- 2 Samuel 24:22-25.

When you understand the importance of sacrifice, your relationship with God will move to the next level.

One of the things that launched Solomon to the limelight was his understanding of this concept. He gave God unusual sacrifices that provoked the Almighty to appear to him twice.

When he was given a blank cheque and had a rare opportunity to ask for what he wanted,  he impressed the Lord with his request because he was selfless (sacrificial) in it- he didn’t ask for riches, long life or victory over enemies but he asked for wisdom to administer justice and rule the people of God- 1 Kings 3:1-15.

He was always looking for what to give, no wonder the good things other people pursued began to pursue. Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and all his righteousness and other things shall be added unto you.

Key Nugget: When you understand the importance of sacrifice, your relationship with God will move to the next level.

Know Him Personally (3)

Date: Wednesday, 23rd April, 2025

Text: 2 Corinthians 13:14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Communication is key in any relationship. It enhances closeness among relating parties. Effective communication is a two-way flow. In other words, when you speak with someone, you should expect a feedback from the fellow be it verbally or non-verbally.

Many want to know the mind of God when they are about to take important decisions. But are you on talking terms with the Lord? How is your prayer life? Do you have a regular prayer altar where you frequently meet with the Most High? Why do you have to wait till you want to make very important decisions before you fellowship with your Maker?

God longs for our fellowship. Another word for that is communion. This is what the Apostle Paul meant when he said, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.” 2 Corinthians 13:14

Some people hear from God so easily not because they are special but because of their regular fellowship or communion with the Holy Spirit.

God speaks to his own people in divers ways, not necessarily through audible voice. He may speak in visions, dreams, through his word, inner nudges etc

If you are his own and he decides to speak through a third party like a prophet or any other vessel, it will only be to confirm what he has already told you personally.

When you hear from God from time to time and you obey his leading you will not lack divine direction neither will you be in error.

Reflective Nugget: Don’t be too busy with daily hustles that you lose connection with your Maker.

Know Him Personally (2)

Date: Monday, 21st April, 2025

Text: Psalm 119:15-16

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Satan’s lies thrive on the ignorance of men. People perish because they lack the knowledge of the word of God. Many are in errors today because they are ignorant of the holy scriptures- Matthew 22:29. They are blown away by different winds of doctrines flying around.

To know him personally you must be an addicted student of the word of God. For that to happen you must be a lover of his word. The psalmist says, “I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.” Psalm 119:15-16

Prophet Jeremiah enjoyed the word to the point of saying, “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

One of the richest men that ever lived once treasured the word of God so much that he said, “I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.”Job 23:12

No one can deceive you when you are in the light. The word of God is the light of men. Fill your heart with more than enough light so that darkness will have no place in your heart.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I desire to know you personally; please grant me a heart that hungers and thirsts for your word in Jesus name.

Hallelujah! He Arose!

Date: Sunday, 20th April, 2025

Text: Matthew 28:1-10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The excruciating pain, sorrow and humiliation the Lord went through seemed unending before and during his six hours on the Cross of Calvary but every problem on earth has an expiry date. He was able to endure till the very end and when the Lord saw that everything the scripture prophesied has been fulfilled, he cried out, “It is finished!”  And he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. John 19:30

The statement signals the completion of the redemption work of mankind. No other sacrifice is needed to save man from sin. Everything required for the salvation of humanity has been finalized and completed in Christ.

The word of God assures us saying, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace- Ephesians 1:7

Through this great work of salvation we are thus reconciled to the Father.

Contrary to the expectations of the people, but in accordance to the word of God the Lord arose the third day. The stone that was rolled against his tomb was rolled away by the holy angel- Matthew 28:1-8. I pray for you that everything hindering your rising will be rolled away miraculously in Jesus name.

By the miraculous resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, death was permanently overcome.  Those who die in Christ have the hope of resurrection on the last day. When they die, their death is described as “sleep”. When they die we tell them “good night” because we shall see them again. However for those who die in sin, we tell them “good bye” because they are permanently lost to eternal punishment.

Action Nugget: Take advantage of the suffering, death and resurrection of the life of Christ.

Know Him Personally

Date: Saturday, 19th April, 2025

Text: Luke 19:1-6

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

It is a beautiful thing to know the Lord personally. It is wonderful to have a one-on-one encounter with the Most High. Two cannot walk together except they be agreed- Amos 3:3. God’s ways are not our ways. The first step to provoke a personal encounter, then is to agree with the ways of God and set your heart to walk therein.

The way of God is to love righteousness and hate iniquity. His way is to value obedience above sacrifice. His way is value mercy above judgment and to exalt forgiveness above vengeance His way is the way of patience and endurance.

God will not force himself on anyone. You need to be personally eager to know him. When Zacchaeus heard that the Lord was passing by Jericho, he eagerly desired to meet the Lord but he knew it would be difficult because of the crowd and his little of stature. Therefore, he positioned himself for an encounter by climbing a sycamore tree because he knew the Lord was going to pass through that route.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, “Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” Luke 19:1-6

Moses sought a deeper experience when he asked God saying, “Show me your glory”. Exodus 33:18. Paul wanted more of the Lord when he prayed saying, “That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death” Philippians 3:10

It is one thing to hear testimonies of God’s glory and it is another thing to personally experience him firsthand.

Action Nugget: Thirst for a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ today and get ready for a life-time experience with him.
