BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 1, Leviticus 2, Leviticus 3, Acts 2, Acts 3, Acts 4.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 16:6-13 (KJV)
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.
7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
MEMORY VERSE: Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. – 1 Samuel 16:13 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: The anointing of God upon a man makes him attractive.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: May the anointing of God rest mightily upon you and cause you to stand out today, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
God sent Samuel to anoint another king over Israel since Saul had messed up. This king was in the house of Jesse but nobody recognised him. In fact, when Samuel stated his mission, David’s father did not think it important to call him. He rather presented the other sons. However, God was determined to choose David. Likewise, you yourself may be looked down on because nobody thinks you’re worth anything. I encourage you to note that man does not have the final verdict. God’s opinion is more important than that of any man, including your family members and closest relatives. So, hold on to what God has said in His word concerning you.

Samuel anointed David in the midst of his brethren and the Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day. The anointing of God upon David moved him to the palace for service. Believers need to learn that the first purpose of the anointing is service, to God and humanity. David received a mark of visibility. When the anointing of God rests upon a man or woman, he or she begins to excel extraordinarily.
David did not become the king of Israel immediately after he was anointed. He still had battles to fight before mounting the throne. However, he came out victorious because the Lord was with him. He was eventually anointed two more times as king over Judah (2 Samuel 2:4) and over all Israel (2 Samuel 5:3).
Beloved, every true believer in Christ carries an anointing of God (1 John 2:20,27). You may not be anointed as a king over a nation, but remember, you’ve been made a king and a priest unto God (Revelation 1:6). Ask the Lord to help you walk in the fullness of that calling. A full realisation of your kingship status in Christ will prevent you from doing certain things because you know they do not befit royalty. May the Lord help you to walk worthy of the anointing on your head everyday, in Jesus’ name.
