TOPIC: LIFT THE HAND OF YOUR MOSES

READ: EXODUS 17:8-16 (NKJV)

8. Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9. And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.”

10. So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11. And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12. But Moses’ hands [became] heavy; so they took a stone and put [it] under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

13. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this [for] a memorial in the book and recount [it] in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”

15. And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner;

16. for he said, “Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD [will have] war with Amalek from generation to generation.”

THE MESSAGE:

Our text today reveals how Aaron and Hur supported the hands of Moses as he held up his rod on the hill while Joshua fought with the Amalekites. During the battle, each time Moses’ hands were up, victory came to Israel and vice versa. This informed the assistance Aaron and Hur rendered to stabilize Moses’ hands. Since it is established that raising and sustaining Moses’ hand gave strength and victory to the Israelite army, it then means both Aaron and Hur were also instrumental to the victory Joshua had over the enemy. They were supporters of Moses’ Ministry.

Some of the lessons learnt from this incident are that

(i) We are expected to place great importance on helping the ministerial work of men of God just like Aaron and Hur helped in stabilizing Moses’ hands. Doing this has eternal reward and draws God’s blessings

(ii) Servants of God are called to be interdependent and not independent. They are to assist one another just as Aaron, the priest, upheld the hands of Moses, the prophet of God.

(iii) Joshua and his army physically engaged the Amalekites while Moses was supported by Aaron and Hur to facilitate the victory. This shows a collective responsibility and victory-for-all mentality. Christians should learn to combine their forces against the enemy of their souls, the devil.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, make me a blessing to the ministry of Your Church, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
