MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Psalm 105:15, part of our Fire Scripture for today, refers to unbelievers that are attacking or persecuting the Lord’s anointed or God’s people from outside the church as well as believers that are in the church who harm and malign each other and their overseers. God frowns at any attempt of an infidel infliction pain upon His children, especially those in position of leadership.

The question to ask now is this: who is the Lord’s anointed? In the Old Testament parlance, “the Lord’s anointed” refers to the kings of Israel (1 Samuel 12:35; 24:6, 10, 16, 23; 2 Samuel 1:14, 16; 19:21; Psalm 10:6). In the context of Psalms 105:15, the reference extends to patriarchs and leaders in general. The words “touch” and “do harm have to do with inflicting physical or spiritual harm upon someone. Specifically, in 1 Samuel 24:6, the phrase “touch not the Lord’s anointed” refers to David’s refraining from killing King Saul when he had the opportunity. It means in that context, “not to kill”.
The Bible reveals that David did rebuke Saul publicly more than once and called him to account for his actions before God. He said in I Samuel 24:12, “The Lord judge between me and thee, but mine hands shall not be upon thee. But he did not physically harm him. In like manner, Christians should be fair-minded and balanced when giving criticism or making a point, especially for or against a leader.
The Bible teaches that Christians are to hold one another accountable in behaviour and character (1 John 3:17) and to always be their brother’s keepers. We should therefore not condemn or do harm to other believers, even when they are erring, but rather pray for one another that the light of the gospel may shine into every heart. The fact is that the judgement of every believer is in the hands of God. The Bible says we should not judge (Matthew 7:1; Luke 6:37). We should therefore not judge, condemn or do harm to others, especially leaders and elders that God has anointed or appointed to positions of authority.
David should be our classic example. We should air our dissenting views when offended, but this should only be done in the light of scriptural and moral truths. We should never condescend to the level of harming one another or maligning a man of God. No justification of this action will be acceptable before the Lord.
