WISDOM IN THE HILLTOP.

Center verse: Exodus 27:2(KJV) " Wherefore the people did chide with Moses,and said, give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them,why chide ye with me?wherefore do ye tempt the LORD" TEXT: EXODUS 17:8-16. The Israelites who escaped miraculously from the Egyptians bondage were attacked by the Amalekites. Then Moses commanded Joshua as his young captain, to raise up warriors against them. It was in Rephidim that the commander of Israelites soldiers selected his army while Moses the man of God who was the leader of the children of Israel moved to the hilltop with two of his assistants, Hur and Aaron. God showed His great name Jehovah nisi,as he worked out a dramatic victory with Israel with such action that was coordinated on two fronts: The spiritual war on the hilltop was wagged by Moses,Aaron and Hur while Joshua and his footsoldiers fought the physical on the ground. Aaron and Hur used a stone seat to rest Moses body and stationed his hand that were weary which made him wield the rod of God against the Amalekites. However, Joshua and his footsoldiers " defeated the enemy with the edge of  the sword. All repented souls in the church have essential functions to play in the warfare against false doctrine, unrighteousness and worldliness. As believes, we must resist all sort of sin and wickedness. We are not suppose to wait for Church leaders to speak against them! Christ Jesus wants us as redeemed children of light who have been taught what is right,should work together with church leadership as a united body to" contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saint " ( Jude 3). So, to win every battle of life,we have to be united and organized in evangelism and spiritual warfare so as to overcome enemies of the gospel. Remember, divine intervention in spiritual warfare can only be achieved when believes are united. Further Bible verses: Numbers 20:3,4, Psalm 78:18,41.
