God’s Oracle Devotionals

Date: Friday, 28^th February, 2025

Text: Revelation 22:10-12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Our actions whether good or evil, are like seeds that are sown in a field. The same day you sow is not the same day you reap. Sometime must surely pass before the harvest. Some people think that because the consequences of their action do not happen immediately, they assume they have gotten away with it.

The word of God says, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11. But when their cup is full they hammer of God’s judgment will fall on their heads. Don’t wait until this happens. Repent and be converted before it is too late.

Some other people think that because their good works are not rewarded immediately, God has forgotten them. It is not true. God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him- Hebrews 11:6b. He will not be unfaithful to forget your labour of love.

Cornelius had been given alms to the poor and helping the needy for many years and it seemed everything was unnoticed but when his cup of blessing was full God sent a heavenly messenger to visit him at 3pm on a certain day and he said, “Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter.” Acts 10:4b-5

His destiny helper was Peter. When Peter came, he explained the way of God to him more adequately and he was saved alongside his family were baptized with the Holy Spirit and in the water. He got a harvest of heavenly gift that money cannot buy; not only him but he and his household.

Those sacrifices you are making for God’s kingdom are not going unnoticed. The word of God says, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”Revelation 22:11-12

Action Nugget: Sow the seeds of obedience to God’s will and you will reap the harvest of god’s showers of blessings. The opposite is also true. Choose wisely!

Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 23-25

Date: Thursday, 27^th February, 2025

Text: Psalm 23:1-6

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we are in desperate need of help. At such times help may seem to be nowhere around. God seem to be far away but the truth is that he is nearer than we think. His name is Yahweh Shammah which means the Lord Is There.

 David said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me…” Psalm 23:4a.

If you are in Christ, rest assured that you may feel lonely but the truth is that you are not alone. Praise him for his presence and worship his majesty. Don’t entertain any fear. He is in your boat able and willing to calm all storms.

He cares for you and has promised to never leave nor forsake you. He is with you to answer your prayers and to defend and to fight for you.

Some may trust in their chariots (connections, status, qualifications, power, wealth etc) but we will trust in the one who is able to do the impossible.

Therefore, remain steadfast and unmovable. Let your heart be fixed on him and you will not be put to shame in Jesus name. If you are reading this message and you are not yet under the management of the Lord Jesus Christ, you need not delay further. Repent today, believe the gospel and confess Christ as Lord and you too will join the winning family of God.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I thank you that you are with me in all situations in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 20-22

Date: Wednesday, 26^th February, 2025

 Text: Psalm 118:22-23

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Joseph’s father loved him so much because he was a son born in his old age and also because he found special favour with God. However, his own brothers envied him and tried to eliminate him. The word of God says he was cast into a pit and then sold into slavery-Genesis 37:18-36.

Rejection is more painful if it comes from your loved ones. He pleaded for mercy from his brothers but they would not listen to him. You can imagine what would be going on in Joseph’s mind when all these were happening to him. He would have remembered his late mother and his old father.

He probably would have cried to God for a rescue but the situation went from bad to worse. When we sometimes face things like this we would have thought God has abandoned us. However the word of God says, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Joseph held fast to his relationship with God and he continued to enjoy divine favour even in the midst of his trials.  Eventually, the stone which the builders refused became the head stone of the corner- Psalm 118:22-23.

Those who rejected him later came to bow to him and beg him for food.

Have you faced any form of rejection? Please, hold fast unto your love with the Lord and all things will eventually work for your good in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, let all things work together for my good because I love you in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Deuteronomy 12-19

Date: Monday, 24^th February, 2025

 Text: 2 Samuel 17:23.

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

King David had a special adviser, named Ahithophel whose counsel worked as if it were the very word of God. David always accepted his counsel because they always worked. So the adviser was not used to his counsel being rejected.

However, on a particular occasion his counsel was rejected by Absalom, David’s rebellious son who reigned temporarily as king. Out of arrogance, when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, got to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died- 2 Samuel 17:23.

Wisdom and patience are needed when faced with any form of rejection. Most successful people in the world today have faced rejection at some point or the other in their lives and today they have success stories to tell.

The fact that your visa application to your desired country was declined does not mean your end has come; God has a better idea and plan for your life. Sometimes, rejection may be God’s way of ordering your steps. If you are rejected somewhere try elsewhere. If a door closes another door (a better one) would be opened by God for you elsewhere. The Lord Jesus said, “When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another…”  Matthew 10:23a. Prayerfully re-strategize and you will be highly favoured in Jesus name.

Prayer nugget: Father, every where I have been rejected please, open a greater door for me in Jesus name.

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 9-11

Date: Sunday, 23rd February, 2025

Text: John 3:19-21

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When your person or idea is not accepted, you have tasted what it means to be rejected. Rejection is more painful if it is coming from your family or loved ones. However, the fact that you or your idea was rejected does not make you or your idea evil.

If you understand today’s text, you will have a clearer understanding of rejection and know how to handle it.

The word of God says, “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God- John 3:19-21

Darkness can reject light out of the fear of being discovered and judged. The rejection does not make the light bad. Instinctively, when a man in darkness suddenly finds himself exposed to a bright light, he would quickly want to cover his face, rejecting the sudden beam of light. It doesn’t make the light evil. So stop taking your rejections to heart.

Our Lord Jesus Christ was a man familiar with rejection. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces, he was despised, and he was held in low esteem- Isaiah 53:3.

When you are rejected by men, don’t let it discourage or demoralize you and don’t lose your focus. If you are under the lordship of Jesus Christ, you too will overcome as Christ overcome in Jesus name.

Key Nugget: The fact that you or your idea was rejected does not make you or your idea evil. Don’t take it to heart.

Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 1-2

Date: Thursday, 20^th February, 2025

Text: 1Timothy 2:1-4

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul wrote: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

^“ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1Timothy 2:1-4

Prayer for all men includes all men starting from your neighbours to the community members; and then to your state, country and their leaders. There is nothing to gain when we curse the government and those in high authority; doing so will only make good things bad and bad things worse.

Pray for the leaders of your nation so that God will give them wisdom to formulate the right policies that would better the lot of the citizens and that they be endowed with wisdom to govern correctly. If they fail in their duties, the repercussion would trickle down to the whole citizenry, hence the wisdom in praying for our leaders.

Intercede for your national leaders that through them there would be security, safety, peace and tranquillity. Come against every spirit of war and bloodshed of innocent citizens. Progress can only be made in an atmosphere of peace.

Action Nugget: Remember to regularly pray for all people especially your neighbours, community, nation and all those in authority.

Bible In One Year: Numbers 33-36

Date: Wednesday, 19^th February, 2025

Text: Ephesians 3:14-17

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

There is a serious need to pray for every member of the body of Christ that the glorious Father, may give each and everyone of them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that they may know him better.  

Pray that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which he has called them, the riches of God’s glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe- Ephesians 1:17-19b.

Ask that out of his glorious riches, God may strengthen every member of the church with power through his Spirit in their inner beings, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith. Pray that they may be rooted and established in God’s love- Ephesians 3:14-17.

Pray for the leaders of the church that whenever they speak, words may be given to them so that they will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel; pray that they may declare it fearlessly, as they should-Ephesians 6:19-20.

Intercede for them that the message of the Lord through them may spread rapidly and be honoured and pray that they may be delivered from wicked and evil people-2 Thessalonians 3:1-2a.

Ask God to enable the church leaders speak his word with great boldness and that through them the Lord will stretch out his victorious hand to heal and perform signs and wonders in Jesus name- Acts 4:29-30.

Action Nugget: As a habit, pray fervently for the church and her leaders.

Bible In One Year: Numbers 30-32

Date: Tuesday, 18^th February, 2025

Text: Ezekiel 22:30-31

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

After interceding for your nuclear and extended families, the next family to pray for is the family of Christ which is the Church, also called the Bride and Body of Christ. The church is a threat to the kingdom of darkness because the more the kingdom of God is populated through her, the more the kingdom of darkness is depopulated.

As the holy angels of God are rejoicing that a soul is won to God’s kingdom, the fallen angels (demons) are mourning because one more soul is lost from Hell. Therefore, the devil is all out to do everything possible to tarnish the image, discredit, bring shame upon and if possible scatter the church.

Satan’s army of demons have the special assignment to bring down the Church Of Christ. He tries to do this through many means, for example through persecution, scandals, Satan-induced delays, poverty, sicknesses etc.

He loves to attack church leaders because he knows that when the leader is down their followers usually scatters- Zechariah 13:7b; hence the need to pray for the church and her leaders.

There is an urgent vacancy for intercessors for the Body of Christ. God spoke through prophet Ezekiel saying, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one. So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 22:30-31 (NIV)

The God of Heaven is looking for volunteers that will routinely sacrifice their time and energy to intercede for the body of Christ. Will you release yourself?

Action Nugget: Volunteer yourself and as a daily routine, regularly stand in the gap for the Body of Christ starting from your local assembly.
