2 Samuel 1:1-16
[1] Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag, 

[2] on the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself. 

[3] And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” So he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.” 

[4] Then David said to him, “How did the matter go? Please tell me.” And he answered, “The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.” 

[5] So David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?” 

[6] Then the young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 

[7] Now when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. And I answered, ‘Here I am.’ 

[8] And he said to me, ‘Who are you?’ So I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’ 

[9] He said to me again, ‘Please stand over me and kill me, for anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.’ 

[10] So I stood over him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.” 

[11] Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and so did all the men who were with him. 

[12] And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the people of the Lord and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword. 

[13] Then David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” And he answered, “I am the son of an alien, an Amalekite.” 

[14] So David said to him, “How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?” 

[15] Then David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and execute him!” And he struck him so that he died. 

[16] So David said to him, “Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the Lord’s anointed.’ ”

MFM Daily Devotional Message Sunday, 12th April, 2026.
Today's Fire Scripture shows a clear example of someone who lacked wisdom and could not refrain his tongue. As a result of his carelessness, he lost his life. This young Amalekite thought he was bearing good news; little did he know that David would not rejoice at the death of the anointed one. He earned himself a cheap death.

Are you guilty of speaking without thinking? Many people have put themselves into trouble by allowing their mouths to talk faster than their brains. James counsels us to be swift to hear and slow to speak (James 1:19). This is not a sign of timidity; it is rather a sign of wisdom. It is impatience that makes you talk rashly and foolishly.

Pride and arrogance can also be responsible for unwholesome words. Don't forget that God hates the proud. He resists them but draws the humble to Himself. A proud man is prone to telling lies and offending God in his utterances, like the rich old fool in Luke 12:16-21.

This is a serious issue that every individual should work on. The Psalmist cried to God, "Create in me a new heart, O Lord!" (Psalm 51:10) because he understood the connection between the heart and the tongue. Psalm 19:14 also reveals that prayer can be accepted or rejected by God depending on the condition of your heart and tongue. Failure to refrain your tongue from speaking guile will make your prayers unacceptable before God. Every manifestation of an untamed tongue glorifies the devil. He is a liar and the father of lies, a specialist in speaking guile.

Therefore, you must desist from these ungodly acts which are manifestations of the works of the flesh. Embrace godliness and begin to manifest the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:19-21, 22-23). Surrender yourself, including your tongue, totally to God.

It will be good to make today's memory verse a prayer, just like the Psalmist did. Ask God to purge your tongue with fire as He did for prophet Isaiah. God will honour your words and men will come to your rising, in Jesus' name.
