The importance of Moses raising up his hands

We all need someone to lift our hands when we don't have enough strength to do it ourselves. Remember the story about the Israelites being attacked by the Amalekites at Rephidim? According to Exodus 17:8-15, Moses instructed Joshua to select some of his men to go out and deal with the opposers (the Amalekites). Joshua obeyed Moses' commands. The Israelites won as long as Moses raised his hands; when he lowered his hands, the Amalekites won. It demonstrated the beneficial effect of teamwork.

This should show us that even our leaders get tired of doing God's work, like praying for us, so we ought to pray for them as well. They need our support; let us show them some love by supporting them and holding their hands up. This should also show us that when we are united and working together as God's children, we rise and overcome.

The enemy understands that if our leaders stop praying for us or obeying God, the congregation will be divided. Therefore, let us pray for our pastors this month; they, too, need our support because they face attacks that sometimes drain them from praying. Always remember that when God is with us, who can stand against us?

Why You Find It Difficult to Recover Your Destiny

Have you ever felt like something precious was stolen from you—your purpose, your dreams, or even your sense of direction in life?

These can include: Family covenants: Sometimes ancestors made pacts for protection, wealth, or power that now affect future generations. Personal agreements: Visiting spiritual practitioners, taking part in certain rituals, or even careless words (“I’ll never succeed”) can create spiritu...

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Understanding Destiny Swapping: A Hidden Agenda Over Your Purpose (PART 1)

Have you ever felt like something is off in your life—like you're living a life that doesn’t belong to you? You're talented, passionate, and full of dreams, yet doors remain closed and progress is mysteriously delayed.
