FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 8:1-14 (KJV)
1 And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David’s servants, and brought gifts.
3 David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
9 When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
10 Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
11 Which also king David did dedicate unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
12 Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David’s servants. And the Lord preserved David whithersoever he went.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
David was a man of war. In fact, war was not strange to him. He faced many battles on his way to the throne and faced more on the throne. However, the beautiful thing is that he always conquered because God was with him.
David was announced to the whole of Israel in a war, when he killed Goliath. He was Saul’s captain; he fought against the Philistines and gave their foreskins as bride price to Saul for his daughter, Michal (1 Samuel 18:13,27). Also, David and his men used to carry out raids while he was still a fugitive (1 Samuel 27:8-11). They used to attack towns that were enemies of Israel, the ones Joshua should have destroyed. Thus, they continued to carry out the judgement of God on those nations.

When David eventually became king, his battles did not end. He continued to fight battles and the Lord also continued to help him. His men of war were well trained so that even when David grew weak, they were able to cover and defend him (2 Samuel 21:15-17).
As Christians, we are in a battle and we have been called to be warriors. There is a constant struggle between light, which we represent, and darkness; and it is impossible to be neutral. We cannot afford to be unprepared at any time because the enemy of our souls goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom to devour (1 Peter 5:8). What we have to do is strengthen our hands in the Lord like David and also raise others. We have to use the weapons of warfare that the Lord has made available for us, like the Word of God, prayer, fasting, and so on. The Lord wants us to be an army, not just individual soldiers. This is so that we will have people to rescue us if the enemy attacks us in our moment of weakness. Beloved, ask the Lord to make you His warrior today (Jeremiah 51:20-23). May the Lord strengthen your hands for victory, in Jesus’ Name.
