BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 63, Psalm 64, Psalm 65, 2 Corinthians 2, 2 Corinthians 3
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 6:12-20 (KJV)
12 And it was told king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
A priest stands between the people and God. He plays the role of an intercessor and offers sacrifices for atonement of the people’s sins. In Israel, the priesthood was given to the children of Levi as their inheritance. However, David also acted as a priest even though he was from the tribe of Judah.

In Genesis 14:18, we are introduced to Melchizedek who is the king of Salem. This man’s origin is not known (Hebrews 7:3) but we know he was the priest of the Most High to whom Abraham paid tithes (Genesis 14:20). This man’s priesthood was activated even before the Levitical priesthood. It would seem that David functioned in line with this man’s priesthood. This is very possible because Jesus, who eventually came from the line of David, was called a priest after the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 5:10).
In our Fire Scripture, we see that David was wearing a linen ephod and rejoicing greatly when the ark of the Lord was brought to Jerusalem. He offered oxen and fatlings every six paces. In this place, he was performing a priestly duty without actually usurping the Levites because they bore the ark of God. David also blessed the people and his own household just like a priest would do.
David was not just a king, he was also a spiritual leader over the people of God. Even before he became king, he already had a habit of inquiring from the Lord with the ephod (1 Samuel 23:9-12, 30:7-8). As a sign of his love for the Lord, David wanted to build Him a temple. God, however, chose his son to build the temple instead.
David had the qualities of a priest despite not being from the tribe of Levi. Beloved, not coming from a family of pastors does not hinder you from ministering to the Lord. It does not mean you cannot serve God. Jesus has already made you a king and a priest unto Himself. So, rise up and begin to function as a priest in the Name of the Lord.
