Strategic Prayer

🕑 5 mins

 Exodus 17 documented a great truth. Standing on a hill with a staff over your head is not a strategic way to win a battle. And yet, that was essentially Moses’ plan when he instructed Joshua to go fight a powerful kingdom (Amalekites).  

  • V9 - I will stand on the top of the Hill with the staff of God in my hand- willingness to the partnership with the God through Prayer.
  • V10- Moses went up to the hilltop along with Aaron and Hur & Joshua went to the war!
  • V11- When Moses held up his hand , that Israel prevailed.
  • V12- Moses hands were heavy and he grew tired.
  • V12- Aaron and Hur held up his hands until the sunset.
  • V13- So Joshua overwhelmed and defeated Amalekites.
  • V15- And Moses built an altar and named it The Lord Is My Banner!!! Jehovah Nissi!!!

We are in a situation that is too big to handle! Let us take this secret recipe from the Bible to the Prayer and Fasting. Let us join hands with other believers. Let us cling to The One who knows our future and empowers us to defeat the unpresented times. He is the Lord our banner!! In Jesus Name, Amen.

Root verb: τηρέω (tēreō) — not the more common Greek word for "obey" (peithomai/hypakouō, meaning to submit to authority), but a word that literally means "to guard," "to watch over," "to keep watch". It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...
