Text: Genesis 1:1–3

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

One of the most powerful lessons from the creation story is this: greatness can emerge from chaos and emptiness. Darkness and confusion do not signal the end of hope—they are an invitation to welcome the King of Glory into your situation.

God is the Father of Lights, and only He can shine His glory into your life, driving away every shadow. He alone can bring structure, stability, and harmony where there was once disorder. He has the power to replace turmoil with peace and to transform what seems broken into something meaningful and purposeful.

In Genesis 1:1–3, we see the Father of Lights at work:

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

When God spoke light into existence, clarity came, and the process of restoration began. The same God who ordered creation can bring order to your life today.

In which area of your life do you feel chaos or emptiness right now? Invite the Father of Lights into that space.

Prayer Nugget: Father of Lights, speak Your light into my darkness. Bring Your peace and order into every area of my life that feels empty or chaotic. I ask that You create something beautiful from every ugly situation in my life in Jesus name.

Text: Galatians 6:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The Bible is filled with powerful illustrations that emphasize the truth that greatness requires patience and process.

Joseph received a dream of greatness as a teenager, yet he only saw its fulfillment in his 30s. His journey took him through slavery, false accusation, and imprisonment before God lifted him to the throne of Egypt (Genesis 37–41). What looked like delay was actually preparation—the waiting season became his training ground for the weight of responsibility.

Patience is indeed the key to manifestation (Galatians 6:9). David was anointed as king while still a shepherd boy, but he did not ascend the throne immediately. Instead, he spent about fourteen years tending sheep, playing the harp, and running from place to place to escape Saul’s pursuit. That long waiting period refined his character, strengthened his courage, and deepened his faith (1 Samuel 16–2 Samuel 5).

Abraham, the father of faith, waited 25 years for the fulfillment of God’s promise in Isaac. The waiting season stretched his faith to the limit, but it ended in a glorious testimony (Genesis 21:1-3).

Above all, our ultimate example—the Lord Jesus Christ—spent 30 years in preparation for a ministry that lasted only 3½ years. Yet those few years of impact continue to transform the world for all eternity.

Beloved, do not despise the days of waiting and preparation. Do not abort your destiny through impatience. Trust the process, invest in your growth, deepen your foundation, and in due season, you will walk into your greatness.

The Word of God assures us: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).

Key Nugget: If God is making you wait, He is also making you ready.

Text: Ecclesiastes 3:1; 11

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Great things don’t happen overnight. Every lasting achievement requires a process, and process takes time. The bigger your vision, the longer it may take to see it come to pass. Nature itself teaches us this principle: a rat can give birth about twelve times in a year, a dog about six times, a cow once a year, but an elephant requires nearly two full years before it delivers. Yet, the elephant produces something far more significant. The size of the result often determines the length of the process.

In the same way, the taller a building is intended to be, the deeper and stronger its foundation must go. No one sees the foundation while it is being laid, but it determines whether the building will stand or collapse. The more weight you want to carry, the more time and effort must be invested in preparation.

Consider also the difference between a car and a trailer. A car may arrive at its destination faster, but the load it delivers cannot compare with that of a trailer carrying tons of goods. The issue is not about who arrives first, but about the quality and impact of what is delivered.

This is a lesson many overlook in life. Many desire greatness, but they never attain it because they lack patience and adequate preparation. Dreams are often aborted prematurely because people cannot endure the waiting season.

In life, quick results may seem attractive, but lasting impact requires patience, preparation, and perseverance. The size of your dream determines the length and intensity of your preparation. Quick success often collapses because it lacks depth.

The word of God says, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: He hath made everything beautiful in his time- Ecclesiastes 3:1; 11

Rushing ahead of God’s timing may lead to premature abortion of destiny.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, strengthen me in my season of preparation. Help me to patiently endure the process that will lead me to greatness in Jesus name.

Text: Matthew 16:13–17

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

We all hold different views on various matters of life. Your position on an issue may not align with mine, and this is understandable for many reasons. We come from diverse backgrounds, our levels of understanding differ, and our exposure, education, age, gender, and life experiences all shape the way we see things.

But this raises an important question: whose view is truly superior? Is it that of the most educated, the most exposed, the wealthiest, the wisest, or the oldest?

On one occasion, Jesus Himself put this matter to the test. He asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Then He asked them directly, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter responded, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus declared, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 16:13–17).

Notice this: the only person who got the right answer did so, not by intellect, education, or experience, but by revelation from the Father. In the same way, while human opinions may differ, only the Father’s view is correct, standard, and acceptable. “Let God be true, but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4).

If we have truly surrendered our lives to Christ, then our will must be surrendered to His will, and our views must give way to His view. To do otherwise is nothing short of spiritual arrogance and rebellion. His view is always best because He is our Maker. The creature can never outthink the Creator, just as a product can never outsmart its manufacturer. Beyond this, He is the only wise God, our Saviour and Lord.

Therefore, it is both safe and wise to submit to His perspective. That is why the Word of God remains the final authority on every issue of life.

Prayer Nugget: Father, thank you for the grace to know you. Help me to always surrender my view to yours in Jesus name.

Text: Matthew 18:18-20

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation

The believer’s authority is so powerful that when you decree a thing on earth, the God of Heaven will back it up. This authority becomes even stronger when exercised corporately. The Word of God assures us that when two or three believers pray in agreement, asking according to His will, it shall be done for them.

In today’s passage, the Lord said: “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” — Matthew 18:18–20

To “bind” means to forbid, disallow, or declare unlawful. To “loose” means to permit, allow, or declare lawful. In other words, Jesus was teaching that unity in prayer releases Heaven’s power to establish God’s will—to bring good and to overturn evil.

A striking example is seen in Acts 12:1–18. When Peter was arrested by Herod and faced execution (just as James had been killed), the church gathered in one accord through the night. They prayerfully bound the death sentence planned by Herod, and they prayerfully loosed Peter to continue preaching the gospel boldly. God answered exactly as they prayed—Peter was miraculously released.

Therefore, binding and loosing does not mean tying demons or untying angels (for angels were never in bondage to begin with). Rather, it is the exercise of spiritual authority through unified prayer, aligning earth with Heaven.

When you and other believers pray in unity, whatever negative situations—sickness, poverty, failure, disappointment—you reject on earth will be rejected in Heaven. And whatever good things you declare—health, provision, breakthrough, open doors—will be established by the God of Heaven.

Key Nugget: Binding and loosing is not about tying demons or untying angels, but about exercising spiritual authority in unity, enforcing God’s will on earth as it is in Heaven.

Text: Matthew 12:22-29

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A demon-possessed man who was both blind and mute was brought to Jesus for healing. The Lord had mercy on him, delivered him, and immediately the blind and mute both spoke and saw. The religious leaders of the day, however, criticized Him, claiming that He used the power of the devil to perform deliverance.

Jesus’ response to their accusation reveals how the deliverance actually took place. He said:
“But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.” (Matthew 12:28)

In other words, He delivered the boy from demonic bondage by forcefully ejecting the evil spirit that held him captive.

In the following verse (Matthew 12:29), Jesus compared the act of casting out demons to entering a strong man’s house to plunder his goods—only after first overpowering and tying up the strong man. Was He literally saying that the devil is tied up with a rope? No. It was a comparison to illustrate the spiritual authority needed to dislodge demonic power.

As believers in Christ, we carry the same authority. In Mark 16:17, Jesus said:
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.”

Unfortunately, many Christians today focus on “binding” the devil and “loosing” angels. But is this practice truly scriptural—or effective? If “binding” alone solved the problem, then by now there should be no demons left unbound, given how often believers pronounce them bound daily. Binding them in the morning, afternoon, and evening only to bind them again tomorrow clearly shows something is amiss with that approach.

Demons thrive on ignorance. The biblical and effective way to deal with them is the way Jesus did: cast them out. Command them to leave your life, family, ministry, or business. Order them to take their filthy hands off and dismantle their strongholds.

However, Scripture warns that even after being cast out, demons will attempt to return to their former dwelling places (Matthew 12:43–45). That is why it is crucial to fill the vacuum with the Holy Spirit. This is done by living a consistent life of obedience, prayer, worship, service, soul winning, and holiness—so you do not attract them back.

Prayer Nuggets:

1. In the name of Jesus, I cast out every demonic influence over my life, family, business, and ministry.
2. Every stronghold of darkness resisting my progress, be destroyed in Jesus’ name.
3. I command every demonic force contending with my destiny to lose its grip now, in the mighty name of Jesus.

Bible in One Year: Ezekiel 23-27

Text: Zechariah 3:1-7

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Houseflies are remarkable creatures: they can perceive foul odours from several meters away. For example, if a child soils himself and is left unattended, flies will quickly pick up the stench and swarm around him. You don’t need to send them an invitation—odour is enough. Yet, trying to swat away the flies is never a lasting solution. If you truly want to get rid of them, you must deal with the source of the smell: clean up the child, remove the mess, and the flies will disappear on their own.

In the same way, every sinful act gives off a spiritual stench that attracts unwanted flies—demons—from afar.

In today’s text, we find Joshua the High Priest clothed in filthy garments, with the devil standing at his right hand to accuse him. The devil, also called Satan, literally means “Accuser.” He tempts men into sin, and then turns around to indict them before the Holy God (Job 1:1–12; Revelation 12:10).

Joshua’s priestly garments were stained with sin. His title and position could not protect him, for the devil is unmoved by church offices. If you are living in sin, Satan is not afraid of your status. He seizes every opportunity to oppose you before God, just like a prosecuting attorney in court, arguing vigorously and even quoting scripture to prove that a sinner does not deserve God’s blessing.

But in His mercy, God intervened. He rebuked the accuser, stripped Joshua of his filthy garments, and clothed him with clean robes and a pure turban. This act signified genuine repentance, forgiveness, and restoration. Yet Joshua was warned: to remain free, he must continue walking in God’s ways (Zechariah 3:1–7).

Beloved, we too must not give the devil any grounds for accusation. Our Lord Jesus Christ declared, “The prince of this world comes, and he has nothing in me” (John 14:30). That must be our testimony as well.

So—deal with the sin, not just the flies. Clean up the source, and the enemy will have no foothold.

Get rid of the flies!

Prayer Nugget: Father, by your mercy rebuke the adversary accusing me before you and wash me thoroughly from every sin and iniquity that gives the enemy a foothold in my life in Jesus name.

Text: James 1:22

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Deception is dangerous, but the most dangerous form of deception is self-deception. When others deceive you, there is hope of recovery because the truth can eventually be revealed. But when you deceive yourself, you are blind to reality and unwilling to accept the truth. Self-deception is the lie you tell yourself—and then choose to believe.

One major pathway to self-deception is hearing the Word of God without obeying it. Scripture warns us in James 1:22: “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” Knowing the truth yet refusing to live by it places us in the trap of deceiving our own hearts.

Another form of self-deception is spiritual pride—when someone thinks he is so strong that he can flirt with sin and not fall. Such a person is already deceived. When a person believes he is close to God but continues to live in unrepented sin, he is deceiving himself. The Word of God makes it clear in Galatians 6:3: “For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.”

Self-deception also happens when we claim perfection while walking in disobedience. The Bible warns in 1 John 1:8: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” Genuine spirituality is not about denial of sin, but about repentance and transformation.

Finally, self-deception is evident when we focus on outward religion without inward renewal. This is hypocrisy. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees in Matthew 23:27: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.” Outward appearance of holiness without inner change is nothing but spiritual deception.

Prayer Nugget: Lord, deliver me from every form of self-deception. Open my eyes to see myself as You see me.

Exhortation:

Happy New Month, Friends!

Welcome to the beginning of the “Ember” months! As we step into September, may the Lord bless you richly and abundantly in Jesus’ name.

It is God’s desire that we live fruitful lives. To be fruitful means to be productive, to flourish, and to yield positive results. Fruitfulness is the opposite of barrenness, and it is a clear sign of God’s blessing.

In Genesis 1:28, God blessed mankind saying, “Be fruitful and multiply…” — a call to procreate, expand, and ensure continuity.

In John 15:5, Jesus said, “He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit…” — here, fruit refers to Christ-like character, the fruit of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and more (Galatians 5:22-23). It also points to the fruit of soul-winning.

As Christ’s ambassadors, we are called to reproduce the life of Christ in others, birthing spiritual converts through the preaching of the gospel.

But beware: it is dangerous to remain spiritually barren. Jesus cursed the fig tree because it bore no fruit- Mark 11:12-25. And as Matthew 7:19 reminds us: “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

This month, may your life overflow with fruitfulness — in character, in impact, and in every area of your destiny.

Happy New Month once again, and stay fruitful in Christ!

Let us pray!

Text: Psalm 11:3

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Many souls are struggling today because of faulty foundations. Jabez is a very good example. His mother had given him the name Jabez, because his birth had been very painful thereby giving him a very negative foundation.

Somebody may ask, “Is there any connection between a man’s name and destiny? O yes, there is a strong connection between your name and the outcome of your life.

If you notice, you will observe that several of the children with special assignments in the Holy Scriptures were personally named by God himself. Eg Isaac- Genesis 17:19, Jedidiah (Solomon)- 2 Samuel 12:24–25; John the Baptist – Luke 1:31 and Jesus Christ, the Saviour- Matthew 1:21.

Some folks who were already named by their earthly parents but who were having issues with their lives as a result of a faulty name foundation had their names changed at some point in their lives and their destinies took a turn for the better.

Abram became Abraham (Genesis 17:1-15) and barrenness was terminated; Jacob became Israel and he escaped the vengeance his brother earlier threatened to visit him with (Genesis 32:22-32 & 33); Simon became Peter and his life became stable- Matthew 16:13-16.

Today’stext say, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalm 11:3. Just like Jabez, if your foundations be destroyed by anybody, even from your own parent (like the case of Jabez), all hopes are not lost. Like Jabez did in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, cry to the Lord and your life will be turned around for the better in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, visit my foundation today and repair it in Jesus name.
