FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 13:1-14
1 Saul [a]reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, 2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.
3 And Jonathan attacked the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!” 4 Now all Israel heard it said that Saul had attacked a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel had also become [b]an abomination to the Philistines. And the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal.
5 Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, [c]thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits. 7 And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead.
As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 8 Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.” And he offered the burnt offering. 10 Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might [d]greet him.
11 And Samuel said, “What have you done?”
Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash, 12 then I said, ‘The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord.’ Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering.”
13 And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
MFM Devotional 10 April 2026 Devotional | MESSAGE
It has become increasingly necessary to keep teaching believers that those who desire to serve God in any capacity in these last days must serve Him without stain, spot, blemish, sin, or iniquity. Our God is absolutely holy, and He demands absolute holiness also from those who desire to serve Him otherwise, all their efforts will become an abomination before the Lord.
In 1 Corinthians 3:13, the Scripture says, “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.”
The sacrifice of every believer comes under the work we do in whatever form in the Kingdom. King Saul of Israel was in a dilemma because Prophet Samuel did not arrive at the appointed time; the philistine army was gathering momentum, and the Israeli soldiers were deserting the battlefield. The king became apprehensive, and he failed to trust God.
Then, he offered the sacrifice which was not his responsibility. He did it in disobedience to God’s instruction that sacrifices must only be offered by divinely appointed priests. He was sternly rebuked by Prophet Samuel for that sin. His sacrifice became an abomination.
The memory verse says, “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination.” Who is the wicked? Anyone who is still living in sin, hypocrisy, ungodliness, rebellion, disobedience, and any form of iniquity. Therefore, whatever sacrifice the wicked brings before the Lord in the form of prayer, fasting, worship, tithe-and-offering, evangelism, seed sowing, charitable deeds, Christian service of any kind, etc, will be reckoned as abomination. And when sacrifice becomes an abomination, there is no divine acceptance, no reward or blessing of any form. The wicked person bringing such sacrifice will be seen as mocking God and may attract trouble from God.
Beloved, what type of Christian are you? Are you walking in righteousness, holiness, and in the fear of God? If you are not, then all your sacrifices are abominable to God. You need to repent now.
