God’s Oracle Devotionals

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?

Text:  Proverbs 11:24-25

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

It is possible for servants to ride on horses while princes walk on the ground like servants-Ecclesiastes 10:7. This can happen if the prince is ignorant of or refuse to exercise his rights and fulfill his responsibilities.

As a son and daughter of God with rights you have obligations, duties or responsibilities towards him and humanity. One of the responsibilities attached to your rights is obedience.

The word of God says, “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.” Deuteronomy 28:1-2

Prosperity is your right as a believer in Christ but it comes with responsibilities. In Psalm 112:3, the scripture says, “Wealth and riches shall be in the house of the righteous but there is a responsibility identified in the 9^th verse of the same chapter. It says, “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honor.”

Again the word of God confirms “One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:24-25

Hard work is essential but you can be both hardworking and holy and still be poor if you don’t learn to give. Lazarus was a holy beggar not a giver and he died in poverty- Luke 16:19-24. Though he made it to Heaven but on Earth he passed through poverty-inflicted suffering. If you must break the chains of poverty, giving must be your lifestyle.

Reflective Nugget:  If you must break the chains of poverty, giving must be your lifestyle.

Text:  2 Corinthians 8:9

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

God delights in the prosperity of his servants and he is the one who gives power to gain wealth. The Lord has promised to open heaven’s treasury to his own children, the heaven to give the rain unto their land in his season, and to bless all the work of their hands: and to ensure that they lend to many nations, and not borrow- Deuteronomy 8:18; 28:12; Psalms 35:27.

The word of God says, “Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.” Psalm 112:1-3. According to the above scripture his divine plan is that your children should be mighty upon the Earth.

Though he was rich, yet because of you Christ became poor, that through his poverty you might be rich-2 Corinthians 8:9. It is therefore, not God’s plan for any child of his to be poor.

God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work- 2 Corinthians 9:8.

Exercise your covenant rights in Christ and take dominion over poverty in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father, I agree with your plan to banish poverty out of my life and to make me prosperous in Jesus name.

Text:  Isaiah 53:4-5

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

During his earthly ministry, there was no record that Jesus Christ was ever sick but there were many records of him healing the sick. He carried a virtue in him that made the sick whole.

The word of God says^{, “}Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5

It is your right as a joint heir with Christ to be in a state of optimal health. Jesus Christ already paid the price for your health therefore, sickness has no right to hide in your body. The word of God also says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” 3 John 2.

Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The scripture says, “But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11

Sickness in the body of a believer in Christ is a stranger and the word of God says, “The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.” Psalm 18:45

If you are in Christ, exercise your rights over sickness, command the strangers to fade away from your body and live in abundant life.

Prayer Nugget: I rebuke and cast out every stranger called sickness in my body in Jesus name.
