Text: Psalm 137:7-12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Omnipresence connotes being present everywhere at the same time. The devil moves to and fro the Earth but he is not omnipresent. He can’t be everywhere at the same time.

The Omnipresent God is everywhere at once. This is why the Psalmist said, “Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” Even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” Psalm 137:7-12

Jonah seemed not to understand this aspect of God but he learnt his lessons in a hard way. The word of the Lord came to him saying ^“Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it, because its wickedness has come up before me.” But Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the Lord.

Then the Lord sent a great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened to break up.” Jonah 1:1-4

Many people are passing through avoidable storms of life because they are trying to hide their sins from God. It is like someone trying to hide from his shadow.

Why not confess your sins and forsake them so that the times of refreshing can come from the Father?

Prayer Nugget: Father, I cannot hide from your presence! I repent today and confess my sins. Please, have mercy on me in Jesus name.

Text: Jeremiah 32:26-27

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

At a particular time, the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:26-27.

My father-in-the Lord, Pastor E A Adeboye once narrated a barren woman’s experience. This woman, due to her past way of life had gotten her womb removed via surgery. But when she later got married, she started trusting God for the fruit of the womb. She began to attend special prayer meetings meant for the barren. After a while all the barren women in that meeting conceived except this lady.

Her pastor was worried and one day asked her what could be the reason for her own unusual delay; then she confessed that she had no womb. The pastor was disappointed and angry, saying, ‘Why did you waste my time praying for the fruit of the womb when you don’t even have a womb?’And from that day onwards, the man of God started dodging her.

When she noticed that her pastor was stylishly avoiding her, she made up her mind to seek God’s face directly. She began to pray and cried to God for mercy. One day she had a dream in which she saw a very huge spiritual personality approached her and wrapped her waist with something that looked like an animal skin; she woke up sweating.

After that encounter she noticed that her menstrual flow returned and not too long she conceived. The medical doctor who removed her womb (at the University College Hospital, Ibadan) was shocked to see another womb in the woman.

The words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 19:26 is very true. It says, “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”

Action Nugget: Do you find yourself in an impossible situation? Just exercise your faith, cry to the All-Powerful God and your case will be settled in Jesus name

Text: Mark 19:14-29

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Apart from God being All-Knowing (Omniscient), he is also All-Powerful (Omnipotent).

With Men so many things are impossible because man is mortal and highly limited in many areas. Man has developed Science and Technology which have made life very easy in so many aspects; however, even these have serious limitations.

For example medical scans can effectively capture images of body tissues, organs and systems; thus assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases; microscopes can detect germs that cannot be seen by the naked eyes; there are several other medical equipment that aid in the diagnosis of diseases; however, none of these can detect the presence of demons- which are the real culprits behind thousands of diseases, afflictions and sicknesses.

This explains the reason why so many ailments are beyond the scope of medical science. This also tells us why there are so many cases of terminal diseases and incurable sicknesses.

In today’s text Jesus cured an epileptic child who was also deaf and dumb was brought to Jesus; all he did was to speak a word and the demons tormenting the boy left immediately-Mark 19:14-29.

Prophetic Nugget: May the All-Powerful God deliver you from every disease in Jesus name.

Text: Acts 1:3-9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

After Christ was raised from the dead he appeared at least, eight times to different people at various times and places over a 40-day period before his ascension to Heaven. On each of these occasions there was a testimony- Acts 1:3-8.

I pray that the Lord will appear to you and you will receive your own miracle in Jesus name.

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:54-57; Hebrews 7:25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The Lord Jesus came from Heaven to the Earth to show us the way to life eternal; from the Earth He went to the Cross to pay our debt ; and from Cross he went to the grave; on the third day, he ascended to the sky to meet the Father. Forever, he lives to make intercession for us. Hebrews 7:25B

Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote a song whose chorus says,

“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

  Because He lives, all fear is gone;

  Because I know He holds the future,

  And life is worth the living,

  Just because He lives!

Because he lives, we are forgiven and we have the hope of eternal life. We have crossed over from darkness to light and we have been translated from the death to everlasting life. Because he lives, our names are written in the Book of Life and we have escaped eternal damnation. Because he lives, our tomorrow is guaranteed by the seal of the Holy Spirit in us.

Because he lives, death has been vanquished and the host of hell defeated. Because Jesus lives, we are more than conquerors. Because he lives we have fellowship with the Father and we can always approach the Throne of Grace boldly.

Beloved, life is worth living because Jesus lives! Happy Easter!

Prayer Nugget: Lord Jesus, thank you for the sacrifice you made on my behalf. I can face tomorrow because you are alive, and neither sleeps nor slumber.

Text: Psalm 37:37-40

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Majority of people would love to know what their future holds so that they can either prepare for it or manipulate it to their advantage. This where the All-Knowing God comes in. He is the Alpha and Omega; the Beginning and the Ending. He is the One who sees the end from the beginning. Your future is in his hands.

The word of God has accurately predicted the future of everybody, depending on whose side you are on. Isaiah 3:10-11 tells us, saying: “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them , for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for the reward of his hands shall be given him.”

In today’s text, the word of God says, “Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together;
The future of the wicked shall be cut off.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in Him.” Psalm 37:37-40

The Spirit of God spoke through David, saying, “I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread.  He is ever merciful, and lends; and his descendants are blessed”- Psalm 37: 25-26

By now you can see your future through the telescope of God’s word. Righteousness and holiness is a great determining factor in having a great future. Things may be rough today, but as long as you stay holy and carefully follow the principles of God’s word, your tomorrow will be alright in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I put my hope in you, please, let my tomorrow be alright in Jesus name.

Text: Psalm 46:1-3

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The All-Knowing God is the same yesterday, today and forever- Hebrews 13:8. The word of God in Revelation 4:8 described him as the One who was, and is, and is to come.

However, in Revelation 1 8 our Lord Jesus Christ was introduced as the one who is, who was and who is to come. Notice that he didn’t start with the ‘was’ but the ‘is’. In other words, here , the Lord placed more emphasis on the NOW- on your current situation.

The Lord is very much aware of what you are currently going through. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging- Psalm 46:1-3

He knows you are due for that promotion, he is aware you are due for marriage, the Lord surely knows your pain, your fears and he is ready to assist.

He says, come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Suicide is never an option. You are not alone in your current situation and trouble. 

Just make sure you are on His side. If you have not surrendered your life to the lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ, do so quickly. Repent from all sins, confess and forsake them. Determine to live holy from now on.

He has promised that, “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” Isaiah 43:2

Action Nugget: The All-Knowing God is the Stiller of Storms and is just a call away. Just cry out to Him and He will stretch out His everlasting arms of salvation to deliver you.

Text: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The All-Knowing God is the One who was, who is and is to come. Therefore, he knows the details of your past, present and future.

The Psalmist asked a fundamental question, “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3. If your foundation is faulty, don’t worry, just cry to the All-Knowing God. He knows what went wrong with you and he will visit your distant or immediate past to correct any faulty foundation there.

In today’s text we come across the popular story of a man named Jabez, who was the most respected member of his family. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10

Abram And Sarai were barren for several decades. They were trusting God for the fruit of the womb but they did not know what to do to break the yoke of barrenness. But the All-knowing God knew. All God had to do was to change Abram (Exalted Father)’s name to Abraham (Father of Nations); Sarai (my princess) was changed to Sarah (Princess-Mother of Nations). God also brought Abraham and his family into a covenant of circumcision – Genesis 17:1-22. Thus, barrenness was terminated in his family.

Is your foundation destroyed or are you experiencing an impossible situation? Cry to the All-Knowing God and he will sort you out this season in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, visit my foundation and repair any fault there in Jesus name.

Text: Hebrews 4:13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God has several attributes, one of which is omniscience. Being omniscient he knows all things. There is no secret that is hidden before him. The hearts of all men are laid bare before the all-seeing eyes of God.

Human judges can be bribed and they rely on evidence and witnesses before they can give their judgements. But in order to cover up their tracks, sometimes hardened criminals know how destroy evidences and eliminate witnesses.

The omniscient God does not need any evidence or witnesses before he decides cases because he was there when all incidents happen and always has firsthand experience. 

In fact he knows the unspoken intentions behind every action of men. That makes him a perfect judge who cannot make mistakes in judgement.

Hebrews 4:13 says, “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” This is why there no need covering up your sins. The word of God says, “He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

Action Nugget: From today, live a life conscious of the All-knowing God to whom you must give account.

Text: Exodus 22:21-4

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

It is common for the vulnerable in any society to be neglected. In many cases the poor, the orphans, fatherless, widows are even oppressed. Children are easily taken advantage of, so are strangers, asylum seekers and even the sick.

However, God identifies closely with the helpless, the weak and the vulnerable. The word of God says, “Do not remove the ancient landmark, nor enter the fields of the fatherless; for their Redeemer is mighty; He will plead their cause against you.” Proverbs 23:10-11

God is called the defender of widows and the father of the fatherless- Psalm 68:5. He said in his word, “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child. If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.” “You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him…”Exodus 22:22-24; 21a

Employers of labour are commanded by the word of God not to delay their employees’ salaries or wages. Such wages or salaries cry out to God against the employers- James 5:4. Show love to the disadvantaged; don’t curse the deaf (because he cannot hear) nor put a stumbling block before the blind (because he cannot see)- Leviticus 19:14

Children are specially loved by God and they are protected by a special category of angels who work closely with God and even see his face- a privilege not enjoyed by all angels. That shows you that God specially cares for children and any hurt done against them is taken very seriously- Matthew 18:10.

Action Nugget: Show love to all those who seem to be weak, helpless, defenseless or less privileged. And you will be specially blessed by the Lord.
