God’s Oracle Devotionals

Text : John 16:12-15

Author : Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation :

Many times we find ourselves in puzzling situations where we tend to ask ourselves what the way forward is. A lot of times many get stuck at this junction not knowing what do.

For instance, someone who is hooked on drugs might not even like the outcome of his own life. He might even be counting his losses but still can’t help himself to get out of that situation.

One major difference between a successful person and a failure is the ability to know what to do to succeed. Most times when what to do is clearly discovered, the actual doing would be spontaneous.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth that brings revelation from the Father- John 16;12-15. When he brings the knowledge of the right thing to do, it is as though light suddenly beams into darkness and the darkness fleeing into oblivion.

At this point every form of confusion disappears and there is clarity of purpose.

 Prophetic Nugget : Every area you have been stuck because you don’t know what to do, may the inspiration of the Holy Spirit come through for you in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 1-3

Date: Friday, 21^st March, 2025

Text: Acts 2:1-4

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A hot stove will not be a suitable hiding place for cockroaches, houseflies and other disease carriers. But the opposite is also true. A life that carries the fire of the Holy Spirit will be too hot for demons and other strangers to inhabit.

Fire burns in the bones of those who store God’s word in their hearts and live by the same. Fire kindles in the lives of those who run with the urgency of the great commission of Christ who said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-21

Our God is a Consuming Fire. When you present yourself before him with a surrendered and an open heart, his fire purifies you just like raw gold is purified by fire. Isaiah tasted of that fire and he never remained the same. His ministry took a brand new turn. Isaiah 6:1-8

One hundred and twenty (120) men and women gathered together seeking god’s face for several days and before they knew it the fire of God fell on them and they began to speak with new tongues praising the Lord- Acts 2:1-4. Timidity gave way to boldness and they became carriers of his power. When you fellowship regularly with carriers of his fire, iron will sharpen iron and you too will catch the fire.

In the presence of God is fullness of joy and pleasure. Get filled with that joy and pleasure and don’t be empty.

Prayer Nugget: Father, please purify and fill me with your fire today in Jesus name

Bible in One Year: Ruth 1-4

Date: Thursday, 20^th March, 2025

Text: 1 Samuel 5:1-12

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Being the temple of God, our bodies, spirits and souls are supposed to b his dwelling place. In the Old Testament, one of the things that made the temple of God special is the presence of the Ark of Covenant also called the Ark of Testimony is the large golden chest that carries the tablets the Ten Commandments were written on-1 Kings 8:9.

This may look casual and ordinary but this simple content makes the Ark so powerful that it parted the Jordan River- Joshua 3-4; it brought causing exceedingly great panic and affliction on the cities of the enemies of God who stole it- 1 Samuel 5:1-12.

When your life is daily saturated with the word of God, you automatically be a carrier of God’s presence and power. You will be a threat to your enemies; obstacles will give way and bow to the power of the Most High that you carry.

Feed on God’s word daily, memorize it; meditate upon it and live by it. Make the word of God your delight. Ensure you take in heavy doses of the Word daily and you will be surprised at the miracles your life will begin to exude. You will then be a mobile Ark of God’s Testimony and Covenant. Don’t be empty.

Key Nugget: When your life is daily saturated with the word of God, you automatically be a carrier of God’s presence and power.

Bible in One Year: Judges 17-21

Date: Tuesday, 18^th March, 2025

Text: Matthew 12:43-45

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Yesterday, we established that nature allows no vacuum or empty space. Something must fill every empty space, whether good or evil. That is why you cannot afford to be empty. It is a dangerous thing to be empty because there are homeless forces of darkness desperately looking for accommodation. They are in search of human houses (souls) to occupy.

The word of God says, “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.” Matthew 12:43-45

Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit; but you know Satan has always desired to ‘overthrow’ God and occupy his dwelling place- Isaiah 14:13. If you are already carrying God’s presence, you have to be careful to continue to retain the divine presence because the devil will do everything in his capacity to lure you into sin so that you can lose the presence of God.

He knows that once you lose God’s presence, the space left will be immediately filled by him. This is the fate of backsliders except they repent. The word of God warns, saying, “Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12

Unrepentant backsliders have automatically given the devil unrestricted access to occupy their hearts and if they continue in their backslidden state, their situation could become worse to the state of apostasy. When anybody gets to this unfortunate point he becomes irredeemable.

Concerning such people the word of God says, “For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.” Hebrews 6:4-6

Key Nugget: It is dangerous to be empty.

Bible in One Year: Judges 14-16

Date: Monday, 17^th March, 2025

Text: 1 Corinthians 10:21-22

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

In nature there is no room for a vacuum. Every space needs to be filled; every life has to be filed with something or someone. It is either you are filled with light or darkness. You are either saturated with the Holy Spirit or the spirit of the devil. No truly empty space can exist for long, as something will immediately move in to fill it. 

The Lord Jesus Christ said, “When an evil spirit goes out of a person, it travels over dry country looking for a place to rest. If it can’t find one, it says to itself, ‘I will go back to my house.’ So it goes back and finds the house empty, clean, and all fixed up. Then it goes out and brings along seven other spirits even worse than itself, and they come and live there. So when it is all over, that person is in worse shape than at the beginning.” Matthew 12:43-45b (GNT)

When your life is filled with the fire of the Holy Ghost, you give no room for evil caterers to have access to your life.

Your body is the temple and dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, no unclean spirit or stranger should be allowed to pollute it- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. One of the advantages of the partaking of the Holy Communion is that it shields you from the evil caterers. The word of God says, “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons”- 1 Corinthians 10:21

If you live in obedience to God’s word and you are a regular partaker of the table of the Lord, you give Him the opportunity to fight the evil caterers with the fire of His jealousy.

Prophetic Nugget: From today, may you be shielded by the fire of the Holy Spirit day and night in Jesus name.  

Bible in One Year: Judges 11-13

Date: Sunday, 16^th March, 2025

Text: Psalm 91:1-6

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

A lady once dreamt that someone brought her an edible item carefully wrapped. She was commanded to eat it but somehow she refused. It became a heated argument but she insisted she wasn’t going to eat it.

While the argument was going on, it turned out that the object in the wrap was a piece of okra which later transformed into an animal that looked like a lizard in that same dream. And she woke up. What if she had consumed the ‘okra’? It could have turned to the lizard-like creature in her body causing diseases like incurable cough, epilepsy and other Satan-inflicted affliction.

Thank God for the Secret Place of the Most High and his special covering on those who fear him.

If you go to the Lord for safety and remain under the protection of the Almighty, and can say to him, “You are my defender and protector. You are my God; in you I trust,” He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases.

The Lord will cover you with his wings (like a hen covers her chicks from dangers); you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you. You need not fear any dangers at night or sudden attacks during the day or the plagues that strike in the dark or the evils that kill in daylight. Psalm 91:1-6.

Surrender to his will today and make him your Shield and Protector from the evil caterers.

Prophetic Nugget: Father, please let your protective covering be upon me and my household daily in Jesus name.

Text: Psalm 18:45

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

The story was told of a lady who became paralyzed and was confined to the wheel chair for a very long time. All efforts to heal her and get her back on her feet proved abortive. All hopes seemed lost as she remained in her lame state helplessly.

However, she looked up to God, the only Source of divine help; fervent intercessory prayers were said on her behalf and something unusual shifted in her favour. Before then, she usually had encounters with a personality that fed her in her dream every night.

It became a usual thing for her to eat all sorts of ‘delicious’ meals from a strange visitor every night. She did not realize that the evil covenant that tied her down was daily renewed by the ‘food’ she consumed in her sleep every night.

But one day, after a lot of fervent and fasting prayers, she had the spiritual strength to refuse the strange food. She, instead, commanded the visitor to eat the food she brought. And by so doing, the satanic covenant that crippled her was terminated and the owner of the evil load carried her load. That same day, strength was restored to her limbs and she stood up miraculously from her wheel chair fully recovered.

There are evil caterers of the night whose job is to poison souls at night thereby introducing strange sicknesses, afflictions, failure, poverty, miscarriage, shame, disappointments and all sorts of evil into their lives.

Today, there are many victims of these evil caterers. You see so many patients with terminal diseases who got to that point courtesy of the satanic activities of the evil caterers. 

But the word of God says, “The strangers shall fade away and be afraid out of their closed places.” Psalm 18:45.

Action Nugget: Command any evil stranger hiding in any corner of your spirit, soul and body to lose their hold and disappear in Jesus name.

Bible in One Year: Judges 6-8.

Date: Friday, 14^th March, 2025

Text: Matthew 14:25-31

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Yesterday, we defined Arrow Prayers as short, quick prayers offered to connect to God. It can be in the form of praises. For example, when you hear good news and you scream, “Thank you Jesus” or you just succeeded in getting a long awaited breakthrough and you shout, “Glory be to God.”

At other times it could be a cry for a divine help like the case of Peter. He had done the impossible by walking on water. But the human weakness of fear and doubt soon took its toll on him and when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, ‘Lord, save me’. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him- Matthew 14:29-31.

The prayer of a sinner is an abomination to God- Proverbs 28:9. Therefore, it is important to be in a right relationship with God before shooting prayer arrows to him in Heaven, otherwise, the arrows will bounce back to the sender. The prayer arrow a sinner can successfully shoot to the God of Heaven is a cry for mercy and forgiveness, if it is coming from a genuinely repentant heart- Psalm 51:17.

Arrow prayers are a delight to God if it is coming from a holy vessel, an upright heart and from someone with a deep and regular personal fellowship with Him- Proverbs 15:8. Arrow prayers should, therefore, not be a substitute for a life of intense worship and prayers, alone with the Lord.

Always take time to offer quality praise to God, tarry in his presence as a habit; worship him intensely without reservation in the beauty of his holiness. Then can the shooting of your emergency prayer arrows be effective during the hustle and bustle of life.

Key Nugget: Arrow prayers are a delight to God if it is coming from a holy vessel, an upright heart and from someone with a deep and regular personal fellowship with Him.

Text: Nehemiah 2:1-8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

There are different types of prayers. When you are having your quiet time or personal devotion, it is often well structured and you really take your time. You first enter his heavenly gates with thanks giving and into his courts with praises. Then you probably reconcile with your Maker by asking for mercy and forgiveness, in case you have transgressed. After this you then proceed to ask for your personal needs and to intercede for others.

However, it is not everytime you have the luxury of time to offer such structured and time-demanding prayers. Many times, life presents emergency situations where you need urgent, almost, instantaneous divine interventions. At such times, you need to shoot arrow prayers and God honours them.

Arrow prayers are, short, quick prayers offered to connect to God.

Nehemiah happened to be a Cupbearer in the palace of Emperor Artaxerxes; he had never appeared before his master with a sad countenance before. And he got a rare privilege of getting a blank cheque from the king who requested him to ask for whatever he wanted.

The Wine Steward, Nehemiah was nervous but before he gave a response to the Emperor, he quickly shot an arrow prayer to God, asking for divine favour. Did God answer? Yes he did, because he obtained favour from the Emperor. His request was abundantly granted- Nehemiah 2:1-8.

Action Nugget: Demonstrate your faith by habitually and periodically shooting arrow prayers to God.

Bible in One Year: Judges 1-3

Text: Psalm 124:1-8

Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan

Exhortation:

Welive in a world of fierce contest. The kingdom of darkness keeps strategizing and re-strategizing daily. They are the ones Christ refers to as the thief whose mission is to kill, steal and destroy; the sons and daughters of light being their major target- John 10:10.

Thanks be to God who neither sleeps nor slumbers. As children of light, we have Christ as our shield, our protective covering from the heat of the day and the terrors of the night.

When the enemy attacks God’s people with the intention of swallowing them alive; when the anger of the evil ones flare against them, he raises a protective standard against the evil ones. He does not allow the raging waters of darkness; the floods and torrents of the foe to sweep over them.

This is why you make Jesus Christ your Ally. You must love what he loves and hate what he hates. Two cannot walk together except they be agreed- Amos 3:3. You must love righteousness and hate iniquity. Through obedience and a prayerful life, you come under the secret place of the Most High.

Then you can be sure he will not allow you to be torn by the teeth of the wicked beasts of the world. Like a bird, he will make you constantly escape from the snares of the fowlers. He will be your everlasting source of help and you will never be put to shame in Jesus name.

Prayer Nugget: Father Lord, because you are my trusted ally, please, fight for me while I hold my peace in Jesus name.
