17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king’s dale.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
DCLM Daily Manna 10 Sept 2024 MESSAGE
On August 9, 1999, the Washington Post ran a report about a Middle-East monarch who was known for his undercover stunts. Disguised, he would cruise the streets of the capital in a taxi driven by an aide. He would deliberately break traffic rules to assess law officers’ performance and listen to passengers’ complaints.
But finally, the king was outed when he posed as a television producer. Unable to shake security guards who demanded his crew’s permit to film, the ruler removed his false exterior, to the astonishment of all present.
Melchizedek did not have to hide his identity as king and priest of Salem as he related with his people. This led him to have a revealing encounter with Abram, who promptly recognised and honoured him.
Melchizedek offered bread and wine to Abram after the latter’s triumph in the battle to rescue Lot, his nephew. Reciprocating, Abram paid his dues to the priest and “gave him tithes of all” he had taken as spoils in war.
Study and Pray From Previous: DCLM Daily Manna 9 September 2024: Burn That Bridge
In the New Testament, more is revealed about the personality of Melchizedek. He is the picture of Jesus, our undisguised King and Priest. Jesus blesses His people as King; and as our High Priest superior to the Levitical order, He receives our sacrifices. Today’s believers in Christ also combine the two offices: priest and king (Revelation 1:6).
To fulfil our roles as the Lord’s followers, we must play them like Melchizedek and Abraham. First, we must appreciate King Jesus as He blesses us with provisions.
Next, we must give Him adoration, our tithes, unalloyed loyalty and selfless service, etc. We must be peace-loving and righteous subjects of the King of peace and righteousness.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Believers are kings and priests; let us act according to our revealed identity.

Heavenly Father,
I come to You in humility and repentance, acknowledging my sins and my need for Your grace. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess You as my Savior and Lord.
Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
