FIRE SCRIPTURE: Acts 12:20-24 (KJV)
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country.
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
MEMORY VERSE: And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. – Acts 12:22-23 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
In the Bible, there are several notable examples of individuals who usurped God’s glory, either by accepting praise that belonged to God or by attempting to rival His authority. Our devotionals in the next few days will be dedicated to the consideration of some of these Bible characters.

We will start by looking at King Herod Agrippa I, the ruler of Judea. He gave a public address that led the people to declare him a god due to their high admiration of him. Instead of humbling himself and redirecting the praise to God, he accepted the praises and hailing of the people, thereby taking the glory that belonged to God alone. The people in their admiration for him, declared, “It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.” But instead of playing down the people’s praise for him and giving it to God immediately, he allowed it. This attracted an instant judgement from God. An angel struck him down for his arrogance, and he was eaten by worms. The fall of Herod clearly shows us the danger of pride and the seduction of human praise. When we start to accept the praise that is due to God alone, we put ourselves in a dangerous position. God will not share His glory with anyone. Accepting the glory that belongs to God alone leads to both spiritual and physical harm. Indeed, all glory belongs to God, and to steal it is to place ourselves in opposition to Him.
Beloved, when others praise you, redirect the praise to God. Acknowledge that every ability, gift, talent and success comes from Him. This is not only a humble acknowledgement of the truth but also a way to honour God as the ultimate source of everything good in your life.
