BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 30, 2 Chronicles 31, 2 Chronicles 2, Luke 11, Luke 12.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Chronicles 26:16-21 (KJV)
16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men:
18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God.
19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from beside the incense altar.
20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the Lord had smitten him.
21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.
MEMORY VERSE: But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense. – 2 Chronicles 26:16 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
King Uzziah was a king of Judah who reigned for 52 years. His reign started well, and he was prosperous. He was successful in battles, and his kingdom grew to be very strong. However, his heart was lifted up, and he became prideful. He entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense, a task that was reserved for the priests, and when confronted by the priests, he became enraged. The Lord struck Uzziah with leprosy for his transgression, and he was forced to live in isolation for the rest of his life.

Uzziah’s sin was not just his pride but his wilful disobedience to the clear command of God. The fact that he was king did not give him the right to break God’s laws. His desire to act as if he could be both king and priest showed that he failed to recognise that the roles of leadership and worship were different and given by God. His story emphasises that even those in positions of power must remain humble and obedient to God’s commands. Here, we learn that pride leads to rebellion, and rebellion leads to judgement. Our success should never cause us to think we can do anything apart from God’s will. Being successful does not give you the right to circumvent God’s stipulated order of doing things. Everyone must respect boundaries no matter their accomplishments. Uzziah’s pride and unfaithfulness led to his downfall and destruction.
The primary lesson we learn from the story of Uzziah is that God is ready to embarrass, disgrace and destroy anyone who stands in His way or usurps His glory. Therefore, no matter the height you have attained spiritually and physically, do not assume the position of God because all the glory belongs to Him alone.
