Teevo For 10th October 2025 – Lifted Hands

Over the coming days, we’ll explore profound spiritual truths—hidden gems in God’s Word that may not be immediately obvious but yield incredible results when applied. These aren’t mere concepts; they’re divine principles revealed in Scripture. One such example is found in Exodus 17:8–16. When the Amalekites attacked the Israelites at Rephidim, Moses directed Joshua to lead the army into battle while he ascended a hill, holding the staff of God. Here’s the remarkable part: The Bible states, “As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning” (Exodus 17:11 NIV).

Aaron and Hur observed a direct link between Moses’ raised hands and Israel’s success in battle. When Moses grew weary, they provided a stone for him to sit on and supported his hands, one on each side. With their help, Moses kept his hands raised until sunset, securing Israel’s victory. God then instructed 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” (Exodus 17:14). This was a lesson for Joshua: the victory wasn’t achieved through physical strength or tactics alone—it was won in the spiritual realm. The key lay in the raising of Moses’ hands.

This is a powerful spiritual principle. Scripture associates lifted hands with prayer, worship, and triumph. The psalmist wrote, “Let my prayer be set before You as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice” (Psalm 141:2). Similarly, Paul urged, “I want men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands…” (1 Timothy 2:8). When you practice this, you’ll experience greater success and remarkable victories in your life—whether in finances, health, ministry, or any area that matters to you. Even now, raise your hands to the Lord; it’s a Spirit-inspired strategy for ongoing victory and a life of ever-growing glory. Praise God!
