2 Samuel 6:12-20
[12] Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. 
[13] And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. 
[14] Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing 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] Now 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 whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. 
[17] So they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 
[18] And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 
[19] Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone 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 today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”

MFM Daily Devotional Message Tuesday, 30th June, 2026.

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.
