TOPIC: Lessons From The Life Of Jael (6) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 26 March 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 17, 1 Samuel 18, 1 Samuel 19, James 2, James 3.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Judges 4:17-23 (KJV)
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
MEMORY VERSE: He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. – Luke 18:10 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Start from where you are; do not despise the days of small beginnings.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: May you not despise Heaven’s resources at your disposal, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
The next lesson we would consider in the story of Jael is the importance of using the resources at your disposal. Women were usually not trained for battle in ancient Israel so Jael was not a trained warrior. Considering that the Kenites were a nomadic tribe, she was most likely skilled in the art of setting up and pulling down tents.

After she had invited Sisera into her tent, she served him milk instead of water. This made him fall into a deep sleep. She needed to act fast before he woke up but she didn’t have any weapon of war, only her tent peg and hammer which she knew how to use very well. What did she do? She made use of them like that. Some other people could have sat there, wringing their hands and wishing they had the right weapon, but not Jael. She sprang into action before the opportunity slipped away. Ecclesiastes 11:4 says, “He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.” In other words, the one who waits for all conditions to be perfect before starting anything will never get anything done.
Beloved, you have everything you need to get started. If you keep wishing for perfect conditions, you’ll most likely never get anything done. There are many who have remained stagnant because they refused to do anything. The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries started in the living room of an apartment but today, the Lord has expanded His church.
If Jael had decided to wait for a man to come to her aid or she had decided to go in search of more suitable weapons, Sisera would have woken up and escaped. Jael herself would not be celebrated as a heroine today. This is instructive. The Bible enjoins us not to despise the days of little beginnings; in other words, don’t be afraid to start from where you are. Take a cue from Jael today and make use of the resources God has placed at your disposal.
May the Lord bless your efforts and reward you with outstanding success, in Jesus’ Name.
