God’s Oracle Devotionals

Text: John 1: 9-18

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Welcome to the brand new month of November. I pray for you that the light of God’s love and grace will shine on you this month like never before. Your earnest expectations will not be cut short; the presence of the Lord will abide with you to bless, guide, guard and strengthen your heart in Jesus name.

It is one thing to know the will of God but it is another thing to be able to carry it out. This is what separates the hearers of God’s word from the doers. The blessing is not in the hearing but in the doing- James 1:22-25.

It is the grace of God upon a man’s life that enables him to be able to do what he hears. Moses gave the Law but so many found it difficult to obey it until Christ brought the enabling solution spelt GRACE.

The word of God says, “Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John 1:16-17 (NIV)

Again the Holy Spirit spoke through Paul the Apostle saying, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,  teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,  looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” Titus 2:11-13

When it seems we are struggling to carry out God’s will let us approach the Throne of Grace with humility and confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Text: Psalm 124:1-8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

As we gradually approach the end of the year God has his agenda that must be fulfilled before the end of the year because he is a God of times and seasons. But don’t forget that the devil who is the archenemy of Man also has his own agenda and targets that he wants to accomplish before the end of the year. Paul the Apostle wrote, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11

The occultic people want to do their annual end-of the year covenant renewal with the devil who gives them targets. They trade with the bodies and souls of men in the dark realm of the spirit. Some accidents occur which are not natural but caused by the manipulation of the evil powers.

Some years ago, my wife and I were about to embark on a travel by road and God opened her eyes and she saw an invisible big tank spiritually stationed in a public car terminus; she saw blood spilling as an overflow from the tank. Whenever accidents happened the blood of victims were deposited in the tank until it was filled to the overflow. May you not enter the wrong vehicle and may you not be a victim of evil motorists in Jesus name. 

Those who are not covered by the blood Of Jesus are easy victims of blood-thirsty demons. If you are not yet under the management of the Lord Jesus Christ, repent and surrender to him today.

Every child of God must take charge prayerfully and put the devil and his hosts where they belong.

Pray with the word of God in Psalm 124 which says, “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

Prayer Nuggets: I affirm God’s agenda and nullify every end of the year agenda of the evil one against my household and I in Jesus name. I cover myself and household with the blood of Jesus and I decree that the snare of the enemy is broken in Jesus name.

Text: Acts 22:25-29

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

By virtue of their place of birth and citizenship some people are already advantaged in life. They became automatically fortunate in life not because of personally merit or achievement. Everything they need to live a fulfilling life is already made available to them on the platter of gold. You would see many people across the world ready to pay any price to become a citizen or permanent residence of such countries because of the benefits of citizenship or permanent residency.

In today’s text, Paul the Apostle who was a Roman citizen was given special treatment because of his citizenship. When the soldiers were about to flog him he reminded them of his citizenship and they could not harm him anymore.

Those who were about to interrogate him withdrew immediately. The commander of the army himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put Paul, a Roman citizen, in chains because it was unlawful to chain a Roman- Acts 22:25-29.

The army commander said, “I became a Roman citizen by paying a large amount of money.” “But I am one by birth,” Paul answered. Acts 22:28

Anyone who is born of God is already advantaged for eternity. The least in God’s kingdom is greater than the greatest on Earth, no matter his earthly achievement- Matthew 11:11

Paul the Apostle wrote, “But we are citizens of Heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior.” Philippians 3:20

The country called Heaven is a place of eternal bliss, joy and peace. Revelation 21:21 in the Bible describes the streets of the city of heaven as being made of pure gold, like transparent glass. The verse also describes the city’s twelve gates as being made of twelve pearls, each one a unique single pearl.

However, nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life- Revelation 21:27.

If you are not yet born of God, quickly repent today, forsake sinful living and secure your Heavenly citizenship before it is too late.

Prayer Nugget: In Jesus name I come against every worldly distraction that will hinder me from making it to Heaven in Jesus name.

Text: Habakkuk 2:4

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

As we move gradually towards the end of the year many have given up on this year already. This could be because their plans or expectations in the last ten months have not been actualized. But I would like to remind you that it took God only 6 days to create the whole of the Heavens and the Earth. He is the God of the Last Minute Miracle with whom nothing is neither too hard nor impossible.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, put your hope in Him. It is not over until it is over; and it is not over until you win in Jesus name

Arise therefore, and cheer up. Don’t abort your approaching miracle with negative confessions. Keep being positive and confess so. The just shall live by faith (Habakkuk 2:4); therefore don’t be moved by what you see or hear around you; rather be moved by what the word of God says about you.

The Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, those miracles you have reserved for the last minutes of the year 2024, let them be my portion in Jesus name.

 Text: Luke 19:1-9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Most times when you desire to get God’s attention you need to show some eagerness. To be eager is to show some enthusiasm, keenness or fervor to do or to have something. 

In today’s text, Zaccheaus, the wealthy chief tax collector heard that Jesus was coming towards his area of Jericho. Having heard about the mighty works wrought by Christ, he wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd.So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly- Luke 19:1-9.

Despite his tight schedule, the Lord suspended every other assignment and stayed in his house. It must have been a pleasant surprise to Zacchaeus that Jesus could find him worthy of a visit. That day salvation came into his life and he became a candidate of Heaven. Just because of this attitude of eagerness to see the Lord, up till today his story is still being told all over the world.

Are you desirous of a divine encounter with the Lord Jesus? Then you need to demonstrate eagerness. How prompt do you attend to the things of God? How cheerful and enthusiastic are you when it comes to the things about God’s kingdom? How much are you willing to sacrifice in order to get divine attention? To what length can you go just to get a divine encounter?

There is a saying by the elders that a child that must be carried by his mother must readily stretch out his arms in eagerness.  May you not miss your day of divine visitation in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, pour your fire on my life and destroy every power of apathy, indifference, lackadaisical attitude and lukewarmness in my life Jesus name.

Text: 1 Samuel 30:1-20

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Self motivation is very important if we must achieve and get going. There are too many things existing to discourage a man, but we can’t afford to fail; we must not give room for excuses. Where there is a will, definitely there must be a way.

When David suffered terrible losses of his family and properties of himself and his men, he had reasons to be discouraged; particularly when the men lost confidence in him as their leader to the extent that they contemplated stoning him.

The word of God says, “Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.” 1 Samuel 30:4-6

David must have remembered God’s faithfulness in the past and therefore trusted God for the miracles for the challenges of the moment.

The God who gave him victory over the lion, the bear, over Goliath and who had been fighting his all his battles for him is still alive to repeat the same victory the Amalekite raiders. His faith paid off and he pursued his enemies, overtook them and recovered all.

Beloved, remember Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever more- Hebrews 13:8. What he has done before he has the power to do it again. Keep your faith alive and motivate yourself; once again you will win in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Holy Spirit, please always help me to remember the faithfulness of God in the past and strengthen me to trust God for every new challenge confronting me in Jesus name

Text: John 1:1-5; 14.

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Someone once said if you want to hide information from certain people, simply write it in a book- they won’t read it, even if the book is available free of charge. Another person also said, if you are not informed you will be deformed.

So many lives are deformed all over the world due to the lack of the right spiritual information. the Lord said. “My people perish because of the lack of knowledge (spiritual information locked up in his Word)- Hosea 4:6.

The Bible is available in both hard and soft copies to billions of souls worldwide. But how many people read it? Some don’t read it because they don’t understand the prophetic power of God loaded in it. They don’t realize that the word of God is God himself. Jesus Christ came to the Earth as the word of God personified in human flesh.

Today’s text says, “ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth-John 1:1-5; 14.

The devil has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they don’t see the need to access the privileged information loaded in the word of God-2 Corinthians 4:4. Many people travel several mountains and cross several seas in search of solution to their life problems when the solution lies in the closed book they refuse to open, read and study.

Some read the Bible but with the wrong motives- in order to find fault and criticize Christianity. Others read but get nothing because they approach the word of God casually as though they are reading newspapers.

In order to unlock the hidden treasures and discover the privileged information loaded in the word of God, you need to ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He will guide you into all truth and counsel you. He will interpret the word of God to you, reveal Christ and help you to unlock the truth that has been hidden for ages.

Prayer Nugget: Holy Spirit, as I set my heart to know more of Christ, please, I need you to regularly reveal the privileged information loaded in the word of God to me in Jesus name.

Text: Luke 1:13-17

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

It is a wonderful thing if you can receive privileged information concerning your children; those that do have the opportunity to guide their children along the path of destiny fulfillment. Every crooked path, hills or mountains before such children would be cleared off to give them a smooth ride in destiny accomplishment.

Many children struggle in life because their parents could not see ahead. Zechariah was highly favoured to receive privileged information regarding his long awaited son, John (which means favour). The angel of the Lord told him saying, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John.

“He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.

“He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Luke 1:13-17

Notice that Zechariah received this privileged information while he was busy serving the Lord at the altar. Therefore, one of the ways to provoke God in releasing privileged information to a man is faithful service.

The Spirit of the Lord was heavily indwelt and rested on John and he fulfilled his destiny. He was described by Christ as the greatest man ever born of a woman- Matthew 11:11.

May your children fulfill their destinies on Earth in Jesus name.

Action Nugget: No matter what you are going through don’t let it weigh you down. Devote yourself to the service of the Lord.

Text: Matthew 24:4-14

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The current events shaking many parts of the world should not come as a surprise to God’s people. Christ already gave us privileged information in today’s text where he told us of certain events that would precede his coming. He said, “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

“Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24: 4-14

The Holy Spirit, through Apostle Paul also gave us privileged information concerning the times we are in saying, “There will be difficult times in the last days. People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious; they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good; they will be treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; they will love pleasure rather than God; they will hold to the outward form of our religion, but reject its real power. Keep away from such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

Are we expected to join the bandwagon of evil because majority is in it? Of course, no! The devil is only playing his last set of cards, knowing that the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ is so near, and he has only a short time left. We must be intentional in living blamelessly holy and without spot.

Prayer Nugget: Ask for the grace to stay pure in the midst of a corrupt world.

Text: Genesis 18:16-33

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

When you walk with the Lord, in the light of His word you stand the chance to enjoy certain special divine privileges. While you do his good will his presence will abide with you and while others are in the darkness of ignorance you stand the chance of regularly getting privileged information from God.

The word of God says, “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.” Psalm 25:14 (KJV). Another version puts it this way, “The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.” (NIV)

When God was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah he hid it from so many but revealed it to Abraham, his friend. Having this privileged information he was able to negotiate the situation with God- Genesis 18:16-33

You may see someone taking some decisions which may seem unreasonable to you; he may be acting on privileged information. When Noah built the ark in preparation of the impending flood, many might of thought he was insane. Reason being that as at the time he was building the ark, rain had never fallen on the Earth- Genesis 6:9-22.

As you walk with the lord, he will reveal things that are hidden from others to you because the word of God says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever.” Deuteronomy 29:29a

Reflective Nugget: Are you a friend of God?
