Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional For August 17, 2019 : TOPIC - Touch Not My Anointed

--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Mountain Of Fire Daily Devotional For August 17, 2019 : TOPIC - Touch Not My Anointed 

TOPIC - Touch Not My Anointed 
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 97-99; Romans 16
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Psalm 105:12-15
MEMORY VERSE: “Who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?” – 1 Samuel 26:9b

The MESSAGE:
Most often, when the Fire Scripture above is quoted (Psalm 105:15), many people generally have the idea that it is referring to the heathens or unbelievers that are attacking or persecuting the Lord’s anointed or God’s people from outside the church. While this is true most of the time, the same ‘touch not’ principle applies to believers that are in the church, who harm and malign each other and their overseers even worse than the unbelievers outside the fold of the church.
The question to ask now is this: who is the Lord’s anointed? In the Old Testament palance, “the Lord’s anointed”, refers to the kings of Israel (1 Samuel 12:35, 24:6,10,16,23; 2 Samuel 1:14,16; 19:21; Psalm 10:6). In the context of Psalms 105:15, the reference extends to patriarchs and leaders in general. The words “touch” and “do harm” have to do with inflicting physical or spiritual harm upon someone. Specifically, in 1 Samuel 24:6, the phrase “touch not the Lord’s anointed” refers to David’s refraining from killing king Saul when he had the opportunity. It means in that context, “not to kill’.
Looking at the Scripture closely, we will see that David did rebuke Saul publicly more than once and called him to account for his actions before God. He said in 1 Samuel 24:12, “The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.” But he did not physically harm or injure him. In like manner, Christians should be fair-minded and balanced when giving criticism or assertively making a point, especially of or against a leader.
The Bible teaches that Christians are to hold one another accountable in behaviour and character (1 John 3:17) and to always be their brother’s keepers. We should therefore not condemn or do harm to other believers, even when they are erring, but rather pray for one another that the light of the gospel may shine into every heart. The fact is that the judgement of every believer is in the hands of God. The Bible says we should not judge (Matthew 7:1; Luke 6:37). We should therefore not judge, condemn or do harm to others, especially leaders and elders that God has anointed or appointed to positions of authority.
David should be our classic example. We can, and should air dissenting views and opinion when offended, but this should only be done in the light of scriptural and moral truths. We should never condescend to the level of harming one another or maligning a man of God. No justification of this action will be acceptable before the Lord.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:THE LORD IS THEIR STRENGTH, AND HE IS THE SAVING STRENGTH OF HIS ANOINTED.
PROPHETIC WORD:The Lord will rebuke devourers and afflictions for your sake today.
