There is Victory Through our Hands

“As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but when he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.” – Exodus 17:11 (NIV)

As you study the Word of God, you’ll recognise that there are mysteries that, when explained, understood, and practised, will have amazing results.

For example, Exodus 17:8-16 gives a beautiful account of one of such powerful mysteries. The Amalekites attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses then instructed Joshua to lead the people in battle while he stood on a hill with the staff of God in his hand.

The Bible says that the Israelites were winning when Moses’ hands were up; the Amalekites prevailed when Moses’ hands were down. Aaron and Hur noticed a connection between Moses lifting his hands and victory in the battle. So, when Moses’ hands grew tired, they brought a stone for him to sit on and held up his hands, one on either side. This ensured that his hands remained raised until they vanquished the Amalekites by sunset.

God then told Moses, “…Write this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out the name of Amalek from under heaven.” (Exodus 17:14 – NIV). This made Joshua understand how the battle was really won. The secret was in the Spirit: the lifting up of Moses’ hands.

There’s victory and power through your hands. The psalmist said in Psalm 141:2, “May my prayer be set before You like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.” Also, the apostle Paul said, “Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing”- 1 Timothy 2:8 (NIV).

So, beloved, let’s practise lifting our hands in prayer and supplication and see greater successes and victories in our finances, health, job, ministry, and everything that concerns us. Even now, lift your hands to the Lord; it’s a strategy of the Spirit for our continual victory. Hallelujah!

Remember: Victory comes in a package called “OBEDIENCE”.

Prayer

Dear Father, I lift my hands in faith to You, Who always leads me in victory in Christ. My raised hands are as the evening sacrifice. I’m blessed and victorious over the adversary; no weapon formed can prevail against me, and every challenge crumbles before me in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen.
