Exposition
And it
came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he
let down his hand, Amalek prevailed – Joshua and his men were
fighting the Amalekites while Moses and his lieutenants were positioned on top
of a hill. Moses lifting up his hand in a praying position shows the importance
of prayer in the life of every child of God.
Prayer has always changed
things because God responds to the cries of His children. He is our present
help in times of trouble. To overcome enemies, more importantly unseen ones,
you need God and the hosts of heaven on your side.
Just as Moses became tired
and let down his hand, sometimes men become tired and stop praying thereby
playing into the hands of the enemies. Prayer requires determination not to
give up until the situation changes for good. Jacob in Genesis 32:25 said to
the man who he wrestled with, I will not let you go unless you bless me.
We should also remember
that when we rely on God, we are able to do all things including prayer. 2 Corinthians 10: 4 tells us that the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God. Continue to pray and
at all times you will prevail in Jesus name.
Prayer
Help me to recognise the need for prayers at all times. Thank you
Father for I can approach you in prayer at any time. I ask for help in battling
every enemy of my progress in life. As I arise in prayer let every enemy be
scattered in Jesus name. I ask that you release the hosts of heaven to fight on
my side. Let me sing a song of victory every day of my life in Jesus name. Amen
