Text: Psalm 16:4-11

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

If you were given the opportunity to be in the presence of the king of your town, the Governor of your State or the President of your country, you would most likely be very happy and feel very honoured. A man who is skilful and diligent in his business will stand before kings and not mean men (ordinary people) – Proverbs 22:29.

When Joseph was invited to appear before the king Pharaoh, the Bible says he had his beards shaved, removed his prison clothes and put on a befitting apparel fit for the presence of the king. Genesis 41:14-16. He dared not enter the human king’s presence casually; he had to look his best.

By the time he finished speaking with the king, his level had changed forever. The former prisoner had become the second-in-command to the king. By just spending some minutes or probably a few hours in the presence of Pharoah, Joseph, the incarcerated slave had become the Prime Minister of Egypt- the greatest country of the then known world! As if that was not enough, he entered the king’s presence as a poor and obscure single, but he left his presence, a celebrated married noble. Genesis 41:37-46

When you make it a habit to spend quality time in the presence of the King of kings, a lot of transformations will take place in your life. Are you currently discouraged, depressed and sorrowful? Cheer up! In His presence there is fullness of joy. Psalm 16:11

Action Nugget: Make it a daily habit to spend quality time in God’s presence and your life will never remain the same again.

Text: 1 Samuel 16:9-13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Solomon was made king though he was not humanly qualified being one of the youngest sons of his father. But that scenario was not new because even David, his Father became king under similar circumstances. He himself was the eighth son of Jesse; but when Samuel came with the oil to anoint the king, he found none of his seven elder brothers worthy of kingship. So it was favour that brought David from the back to the front row- 1 Samuel 16:9-13.

Therefore, what happened to Solomon was a trend inherited from David, his father. Just like favour can be inherited, so also bad luck can pass from your parents to you. If there are negative things that happened to your parents, you need to pray that you don’t inherit them.

Broken marriages run in some families; in some other families it is common that they have children out of wedlock either through pre or extra marital affairs. Barrenness is a common trend in some lineages.

For example, Abraham had a delay in child bearing till he was aged 100- Genesis 21:5; Isaac his son too had a delay till he was 60- Genesis 25:21-26. The barrenness also passed to Jacob’s beloved wife, Rachel, so much so that Joseph was born to Jacob in his old age- Genesis 29:31; 37:3. You can see the problem running from grandfather to grandson.

Have you noticed some great trends in your parents or lineage? Pray that they also happen in your life; they may not be automatic. Conversely, you need to deliberately pray away any negative trends you have noticed in your parents, lineage or ancestry.

Only Christ has the power to reverse the irreversible for you. Surrender to him today and watch him do the impossible in your life. Victory shall be yours in Jesus name.

Action Nugget: Pray in the great and pray away any negative trends you have noticed in your parents, lineage or ancestry.

Text: 2 Samuel 12:24-25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

By normal human standard Solomon was not qualified to be king. He was not the crown prince (Amnon was, being the first born). In Israel, by inheritance, the right of kingship mostly fell on the first born. Solomon was not even among the first nine.

The circumstances surrounding his birth were ‘questionable’ by human moral standards. His mother, Bathsheba, had committed adultery having agreed with David to cheat on her late husband, Uriah. Uriah happened to be one of King David’s soldier servants.

As if that was not enough, David had murdered her husband and taken Bathsheba to be his wife. He was severely punished by God for this evil acts, though, as four of his sons were killed; his wives were raped in the public- in broad day light. David himself was temporarily disgraced out of the throne. 2 Samuel 12:11; 12; 1-25; 15-24; 1 Kings 2; 13-46.

Solomon was the second offspring born in that relationship; the first child was slain by God Himself. So, humanly speaking the tide of things were against a Solomon kingship.

David himself would not have chosen Solomon because the tradition was against his choice. But you know David would not take any major step without consulting God. I am almost certain David would have been shocked when God made his mind known.

King David said, “And of all my sons, (for the Lord hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.” 2 Chronicles 28:5-7

So Solomon was God’s choice; in fact God sent the prophet Nathan to personally name him Jedidiah meaning, “Beloved of the Lord.” 2 Samuel 12:24-25. He found favour with God and so God jumped the queue to make him king and to make him the greatest king the world would ever have.

May you find favour with God this season in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, show me mercy, let me find favour with you in Jesus name.

Text: Matthew 6:14-15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Forgiveness is an act of mercy and compassion; divine mercy is easily extended to those who have been particularly merciful- Matthew 5:7.

One of the reasons why you should forgive those who offend you is that you also are a recipient of God’s forgiveness. So he expects you to simply extend the same to those who trespass against you especially when they request for your forgiveness- Matthew 18:21-35.

In the popular prayer format handed down to us by our Lord Jesus Christ, he taught us to say, “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us” Matthew 6:12

Forgiving others could also be a precondition to your own forgiveness. The word of God says, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14-15.

Unforgiveness can separate you from God and make him hide his face from you and when that happens your prayers will be hindered and the heaven over your head will be closed.- Isaiah 59:1-2.

Most times, forgiveness benefits you more than the person you are forgiving. So even if it is for your own selfish reasons, just forgive. When you forgive, it is not because the recipient deserves it but at least, you will have peace with God and are free from bitterness.

Prophetic Nugget: Receive the grace to forgive in Jesus name.

Text: Exodus 2:23-25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When your set time comes there are certain things you need to do. Firstly, you need to acknowledge that your time of favour has arrived. Secondly, you should be thankful to the One who has made times and season to favour you.

By divine calendar and arrangements, the children of Israel were meant to spend only 400 years in Egyptian slavery and captivity, but they ended up spending 430 years- Genesis 15:12-13; Exodus 12:40. Why the extra 30 years? The reason was that when their set time of favour came, they were too relaxed and did nothing to provoke God to activate their time of deliverance.

But when they woke up from their slumber, they cried to the Lord for divine assistance.

The word of God says, “And it came to pass in process of time that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.” Exodus 2:23-25

So the third thing to do when your time of favour comes is to storm the Heavens with passionate prayers asking the Lord to do what he has promised.

In order to activate your set time, you should never hold your peace neither day nor night but cry to the Lord and keep not silence, give him no rest; remind him of his promises. Keep pushing until he establishes his promises in your life, and till he makes you a praise in the earth.

Prophetic Nugget: Your testimony will positively shock the world in Jesus name.

Text: Psalm 102:13

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

I welcome you into a brand new month in Jesus name. May is the fifth month of the year. It is commonly said that the number 5 is a number of grace. Grace stands for God’s favour in the life of a Man. I pray that in this month of May, the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace in Jesus name.

Probably the initial months of this year have not been as fruitful as you expect. Maybe in your mind you are feeling that you are not yet where you thought you should be by now. But please, permit me to declare God’s counsel into your life. Hear the word of God, this season

God will arise on your behalf and have mercy upon you because your set time of favour has come in Jesus name- Psalm 102:13.

When a man’s time of favour comes, certain things begin to happens. Firstly, the mercy of God begins to speak on your behalf. When mercy is at work, protocols are bypassed just to favour you.

Secondly, beautiful things begin to happen in your life because the word of God says, “He hath made everything beautiful in his time…”Ecclesiastes 3:11a.

Thirdly, you will notice that desperate helpers of destiny will begin to appear to help you fulfil God’s purpose for your life. For example, when it was time for the children of Israel to be set free from bondage God raised destiny helpers for them in the persons of Moses and Aaron.

Fourthly, good things begin to happen to you with unusual speed. No more delay!

This season is your set time and God will rise on your behalf in Jesus name.

Text: Acts 10:38

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In the midst of all the evil and wickedness in the world, it is comforting to know that we have a good God who is particularly interested in our welfare. The word of God says his thoughts towards us are for good and not for evil to bring us to an expected end; to give us hope and a future- Jeremiah 29:11.

Jesus Christ is God’s goodness personified. With the anointing of the Holy Ghost and power upon him, he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil- Acts 10:38.

He knows our weaknesses, challenges and burdens that is why he gave a general call saying, “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 ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Mathew 11:28-30

In John 7: 37 he invited everyone who is to come to him and drink. The water here is the Holy Spirit. Anyone whose life is devoid of the Spirit of God will suffer many frustrations and defeat in the hands of the devil.

Why must you suffer in silence when your helper is waiting with his arms stretched out? Everyone who sought one help or the other from him got it, even those who don’t deserve it.

Ask Jesus to demonstrate his goodness in your life today!

Prayer Nugget: Lord Jesus, because you are good, please, demonstrate your goodness in my life today!

Text: Luke 1:26-38

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

All good things are possible but not with everybody. Why? This is because not all people believe that. What you believe has a direct relationship with what you will experience. With Man, so many things are impossible because Man has so many limitations. He lives in the natural terrain, is mortal and has little control on the present and even the future.

However, Man can step his game and live in the supernatural. When you make the unlimited God your Ally, the equation changes and all things become possible.

In Luke 1:37-38, Mary was told something that sounded very ridiculous by the Archangel Gabriel in a vision. She was to conceive without a man’s seed. How incredible! She did not doubt but said, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” and that settled it.

There is a song that says, “God said it, I believe it and that settled it.” If you can just take the promise of God and believe it, you are good to go.

There is prosperity locked up in your faith. The word of God says, “Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” 2 Chronicles 20:20

Mary did not just believe but confess her belief. Some people claim to believe God but their confessions and actions negate their claims.

Don’t settle for defeat and failure; stop limiting yourself. Stand on the promise of God; stop doubting, only believe!

Action Nugget: Believe His promise today and unlock the prosperity in His word.

Text: 2 Kings 19-14-19

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When someone issues a statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage on you; do not be afraid. Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered and none of them can fall to the ground without the permission of your heavenly father. Just do what King Hezekiah did and the case would be sorted.

When the mighty Assyrian emperor, Sennacherib, wrote a threat letter to King Hezekiah, king of Judah, he took the letter to the Temple of the Lord placed the letter there in the presence of the Lord, ^and prayed, “O Lord, the God of Israel, seated on your throne above the winged creatures, you alone are God, ruling all the kingdoms of the world. You created the earth and the sky.  Now, Lord, look at what is happening to us. Listen to all the things that Sennacherib is saying to insult you, the living God.  We all know, Lord, that the emperors of Assyria have destroyed many nations, made their lands desolate,  and burned up their gods—which were no gods at all, only images of wood and stone made by human hands. Now, Lord our God, rescue us from the Assyrians, so that all the nations of the world will know that only you, O Lord, are God.” 2 Kings 19-14-19

Before this time he had also sent messengers to Isaiah the prophet to intercede on behalf of the land. In response, the Lord promised to defend his people and that night an angel of the Lord went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 soldiers. At dawn the next day there they lay, all dead! – 2 Kings 19:35

Sennacherib, the Assyrian Emperor himself was struck down by two of his own sons. The Lord fought for his own people.

Are you under threat, fret not, just report the threat to the Lord of Hosts; he will fight for you and you will hold your peace in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Lord of Hosts! Please, fight for me while I hold my peace in Jesus name.

Text: Psalm 105:13-15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

It is a dangerous thing to hate a child of God. How do I know? The word of God confirms it, “And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.” Deuteronomy 7:15. Some folks are battling with incurable diseases today because they hate God’s children.

Why is this so? It is not difficult to understand. Just as you will take it personal when anyone claims to love you but hate your child. The Bible says when you surrender your life to Christ, you become dead to sin and the flesh and your life becomes hidden with Christ in God- Colossians 3:3.

God takes it personal when anyone hates or attacks any of His children. That is why the holy scriptures say, “When they (his own children) went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.” Psalm 105:13-15

Have you surrendered your life to the lordship of the Lord Jesus Christ? If yes, don’t be afraid of any threat! The Almighty says, anyone who touches you touches the apple of his eyes. Zechariah 2:8b. He is a Consuming fire and there is a fire that goes ahead of Him that consumes his enemies roundabout. (Hebrews 12:29; Psalm 97:3)

If you are not yet born again, what are you waiting for? Repent today, confess, forsake your sins and surrender fully to the Lord Jesus; He is the Lord of Hosts and he will fight your battle for you, taking total care of any threat against your life.

Prayer Nugget: Lord of Hosts, I surrender to you fully and ask that you trouble my troublers in Jesus name.
