God’s Oracle Devotionals

Text: Ecclesiastes 3:11

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God’s timing is always perfect, even when it stretches our patience. Scripture reminds us that God makes everything beautiful in His time, not according to our pressure or expectations (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Delays are not denials; they are often divine preparations working quietly behind the scenes.

Rushing ahead of God can lead to unnecessary struggles and regret. Waiting on the Lord is not a sign of weakness but a process that strengthens faith and builds endurance (Psalm 27:14). In waiting, God aligns our hearts with His will and prepares us for what is ahead.

Those who patiently trust the Lord eventually inherit His promises at the appointed time. The Bible encourages believers to follow those who through faith and patience obtain what God has promised (Hebrews 6:12). Patience positions us for lasting blessings rather than temporary gains.

As you walk through this year, choose to trust God’s timing completely. Even when the vision seems slow in coming, it will surely come to pass at the right moment (Habakkuk 2:3). God never arrives late, and His plans for your life will unfold beautifully.

Reflective Nugget: Ask yourself, “What area of my life requires patience and trust in God’s timing?

Bible in One Year: Exodus 14-16

Date: Monday, 19th January 2026

Text: 1 Corinthians 9:27

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Great destinies are not built by chance but through discipline and consistent effort. The Apostle Paul spoke of bringing his body under discipline so that he would not lose focus or purpose (1 Corinthians 9:27). Discipline keeps vision clear and prevents distractions from derailing destiny.

God honours diligence and faithfulness, especially in small and seemingly insignificant things. Scripture teaches that those who are faithful in little will be entrusted with much (Luke 16:10). Small daily efforts, when done consistently, produce lasting and meaningful results over time.

A disciplined life creates room for growth, stability, and progress. God is a God of order, and He blesses those who live intentionally and responsibly (Proverbs 12:24). Where there is discipline, confusion is removed and productivity increases.

As you journey through this year, remain consistent in prayer, work, and obedience. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Your labour, when sustained with faith and discipline, will never be in vain.

Action Nugget: Identify one area where consistency is needed and commit to it.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 11-13

Date: Sunday, 18th January 2026

Text: Joshua 1:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Courage is essential for possessing the promises of God. The journey into a new year often brings unfamiliar paths and challenges, but God commands His people to be strong and courageous. Fear must be confronted and resisted, not entertained, because fear weakens faith and delays progress (Joshua 1:9).

God’s assurance of His abiding Presence is the source of true courage. He promises never to leave nor forsake His people, reminding us that we are never alone in any battle we face (Deuteronomy 31:6). Knowing that God is with you strengthens the heart and calms the mind.

Faith-filled courage silences intimidation and overcomes opposition. When the Lord is your light and salvation, there is no reason to be afraid (Psalm 27:1). God empowers those who trust Him, enabling them to face challenges with confidence and peace.

As this year unfolds and challenges arise, stand firm in faith. Remember that the battle belongs to the Lord, and He fights on your behalf (Exodus 14:14). When you trust God completely, courage replaces fear and victory becomes certain.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please,fill me with courage to face every challenge this year in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 8-10

Date: Saturday, 17th January 2026

Text: Psalm 100:4

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Thanksgiving is a powerful spiritual attitude that acknowledges God as the true source of every blessing. When we give thanks, we honour God and recognize His hand in our lives. Scripture invites us to enter His presence with thanksgiving, because a grateful heart attracts more grace (Psalm 100:4).

Complaints shut doors, but gratitude opens new ones. The Bible instructs us to give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that thanksgiving releases joy and strengthens faith (1 Thessalonians 5:18). A thankful heart sees possibilities where others see problems and remains hopeful even in challenging seasons.

Jesus demonstrated the power of thanksgiving when He gave thanks before the miracle of feeding the multitude occurred. His act of appreciation preceded multiplication, teaching us that gratitude often comes before breakthrough (John 6:11). Thanksgiving prepares the ground for God’s supernatural intervention.

As you walk through this year, make thanksgiving your daily habit. Instead of anxiety and worry, let gratitude fill your heart and prayers. When thanksgiving becomes your lifestyle, God’s peace guards your heart and keeps you joyful (Philippians 4:6).

Prayer Nugget: Father, I thank you for all you have done and all you will do this year in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 5-7

Date: Friday, 16th January 2026

Text: John 13:34–35

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Love is the highest commandment and the clearest evidence that we belong to Christ. Jesus taught that love for one another would identify us as His true disciples (John 13:34–35). Our Christianity is most visible not in words or activities, but in how we love others daily.

Without love, even the most impressive spiritual activities lose their value. Scripture makes it clear that gifts, sacrifices, and service mean nothing when love is absent (1 Corinthians 13:1). Love gives purpose to everything we do and turns ordinary acts into expressions of God’s grace.

Walking in love preserves unity and creates an atmosphere where God’s presence dwells. The Bible declares that God Himself is love, and those who walk in love walk with God (1 John 4:8). Love protects the heart from bitterness and keeps relationships healthy.

As you journey through this year, choose love over offense and forgiveness over resentment. Let love guide your responses and shape your actions, for love binds everything together in perfect harmony (Colossians 3:14). When love rules your heart, God’s character is revealed through your life.

Action Nugget: Deliberately show love today, even where it is not deserved.

Bible in One Year: Exodus 1-4

Date: Thursday, 15th January 2026

Text: James 1:5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Every day of life presents choices that quietly shape destiny. Decisions, whether small or great, determine direction and outcomes. Scripture teaches that wisdom is essential for right living, and God invites us to ask Him for it freely (James 1:5). A life guided by wisdom is a life guided by God.

God is the source of true wisdom, and He gives generously to those who ask in faith. His wisdom saves us from avoidable errors and costly regrets, for “The Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). Divine wisdom sees beyond the present moment and considers eternal consequences.

A wise heart is patient, attentive, and teachable. It listens before acting and seeks counsel before making decisions. Scripture reminds us that safety and success are found in godly counsel (Proverbs 11:14). Wisdom values understanding over haste and discernment over impulse.

As you make decisions throughout this year, lean fully on God’s wisdom rather than personal experience alone. Wisdom sharpens direction and makes the journey smoother, preventing unnecessary struggle (Ecclesiastes 10:10). When God guides your decisions, your steps are secure and purposeful.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please, fill my heart with wisdom for every decision I make this year in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 47- 50

Date: Wednesday, 14th January 2026

Text: Proverbs 4:23

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The heart is the control centre of life, influencing thoughts, decisions, and actions. Scripture instructs us to guard our hearts diligently because out of it flow the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). Whatever gains access to the heart eventually shapes the direction and outcome of our lives.

Unresolved hurts, offences, and negative emotions can quietly contaminate destiny if they are ignored. God desires a heart that is pure, focused, and free from hidden burdens, for “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). A clean heart keeps our spiritual vision clear.

A guarded heart resists bitterness, fear, pride, and anxiety. When the heart is disciplined and surrendered to God, peace becomes its natural atmosphere. The peace of God is meant to rule and govern our hearts, preserving us from internal turmoil (Colossians 3:15).

As you walk through this year, make it a priority to protect your heart with truth, prayer, and the Word of God. Ask the Lord to create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you (Psalm 51:10). Your future, peace, and progress depend on the condition of your heart.

Reflective Nugget: Ask yourself, “What attitudes or emotions do I need to let go in order to preserve my heart?”

Bible in One Year: Genesis 44-46

Date: Tuesday, 13th January 2026

Text: Daniel 6:3

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God’s grace empowers believers to rise above the ordinary and stand out with distinction. Scripture testifies that Daniel possessed an excellent spirit, which set him apart among his peers (Daniel 6:3). Excellence is not worldly pride; it is a kingdom culture that reflects God’s nature and brings glory to His name through our lives.

When the grace of God rests upon a person, ordinary efforts begin to produce extraordinary results. Paul acknowledged this truth when he said, “By the grace of God I am what I am” (1 Corinthians 15:10). Grace multiplies impact, removes unnecessary struggle, and causes results that human strength alone cannot achieve.

Excellence attracts favour, recognition, and divine promotion. Jesus taught that when our light shines, men see our good works and glorify the Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). God is glorified when His children excel with integrity, diligence, and godly character in all they do.

As you labour through this year, rely on grace rather than struggle. Promotion does not come from human connections but from God alone (Psalm 75:6–7). Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your heart and let His grace distinguish you, elevate your work, and cause you to excel in every assignment entrusted to you.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please,release grace upon me to excel in all I do this year in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 42-43

Date: Monday, 12th January 2026

Text: John 14:15

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Obedience is the clearest expression of our love for God. Jesus said plainly, “If ye love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). True love for God is not measured by words alone but by a willing heart that follows His instructions. Those who obey God enjoy His backing, protection, and approval.

God’s instructions do not always appeal to human logic or comfort. At times, obedience may demand sacrifice, patience, or faith beyond understanding. Yet Scripture assures us that obedience always produces results, for “if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord… all these blessings shall come on thee” (Deuteronomy 28:1). God rewards obedience with undeniable blessings.

Delayed obedience is often disobedience in disguise. When God speaks, He expects a prompt and willing response. The Word of God says, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:19). Willing hearts attract swift divine intervention and open the door to God’s best.

As you walk through this year, let obedience become your lifestyle, not a seasonal response. God has promised to open doors that no man can shut for those who walk faithfully with Him (Revelation 3:8). When you obey, God takes responsibility for the outcomes, and your steps are firmly established.

Action Nugget: Identify one instruction God has given you and act on it today.

Bible in One Year: Genesis 39-41

Date: Sunday, 11th January 2026

Text: Hebrews 11:1-6

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Faith is the currency of the Kingdom and the language heaven understands. Scripture declares that “The just shall live by faith” (Habakkuk 2:4), establishing faith as a lifestyle, not an occasional response. Without faith, it is impossible to please God or walk intimately with Him. Faith gives substance to hope and confidence in God’s Word even before results appear.

The New Year will inevitably present uncertainties, unanswered questions, and unfamiliar paths. Yet faith anchors the heart in God’s promises, knowing that,“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). While circumstances speak fear, faith speaks assurance rooted in God’s faithfulness. Those who walk by faith see beyond present realities to divine possibilities.

Every step taken in faith provokes a divine response. God honours those who trust Him completely, for “Without faith it is impossible to please Him” and those who come to Him must believe (Hebrews 11:6). Faith activates heaven’s resources and aligns human obedience with divine power. When faith is exercised, God intervenes with authority and grace.

This year, consciously refuse fear and deliberately embrace faith. What you consistently believe will ultimately shape what you experience, as faith grows by hearing the Word of God. As courage replaces anxiety and confidence replaces doubt, your journey becomes a testimony of God’s glory. Choose to live by faith, and your path will reflect heaven’s reality.

Reflective Nugget: Ask yourself, “What fears must I intentionally replace with faith as I journey through this year?”
