MFM Daily Devotional Message Friday 31st July 2026.

Today, we will study David as a father, what he did right and what he didn’t do right. When the ark of God was brought, David rejoiced greatly before the Lord. After offering sacrifices, he blessed the people. Then, he also came home to bless his family (2 Samuel 6:18,20a). A good father recognises his role as the priest of his home and his duty to constantly pronounce blessings or his family.
David did well in this.

When Amnon pretended to be sick, David went to see him. He showed concern here as a father should. However, he was unable to see through Amnon’s wicked scheme. While trying to be a good father to Amnon, he failed his daughter, Tamar, by sending her directly into a trap. Amnon eventually raped her. Unfortunately, David got angry but did not do anything about the matter; there was no justice for Tamar from the king so Absalom, her brother, decided to get justice for his sister by killing Amnon. Probably if David had appropriately punished Amnon, Absalom would have been satisfied and would not have seen the need to kill him.

Fathers need to learn from this. No child should be favoured above another, no child should be allowed to get away with any act of indiscipline so as to avoid rivalry among siblings. Absalom tried to take over his father’s kingdom. Unfortunately, he lost his life. David lost his first and third sons to poorly managed conflicts. Nothing much is said about Chileab, the son Abigail bore David. The fourth son, Adonijah, decided he was the next king even while his father was yet alive.

Thankfully, Prophet Nathan intervened and told Bathsheba what to do. Solomon was anointed king over Israel. Beloved, God has committed a great responsibility into your hand if you’re a parent. You cannot afford to fail in this assignment. If you fail to train your children, you will lose them, to death or to something unpleasant. God will ask you questions on the judgement day. May you answer with joy, not with sadness, in Jesus’ name.
