Strengthen My Hands

By the Spirit of God, we’ve established that one of the most powerful effects of the anointing on a person’s life is that it makes them a repairer, a rebuilder, and a restorer of desolate places. If the Spirit of God truly rests upon you, then why is it that even in your family WhatsApp group, your messages creates tension,  sowing strife, confusion, and division? You go to church the most, you pray the most, you are are quick to quote the scriptures and yet the most problematic. 

As if that is not even enough  in your church group, you are a source of turmoil, delighting in the deception that you've once again “dropped your bombshell,” while some of the ungodly cheer you on. You disguise this destructive behavior under the pretense of being a prophetic voice, yet all you do is tear down, stir confusion, and eventually cause the dissolution of the group. People have to walk on egg shells when you are physically present and even online you are the troubler of Israel. 

This is not the reality of the anointing! The Spirit of God does not breed conflict but brings solutions. You cannot carry the anointing and be the cause of others’ failure or sin. Are you truly building others up, or are you tearing them down? Are you helping people find their place in God, or are you the source of their spiritual collapse? The anointing of the Holy Spirit causes people to build, not destroy. 

In the process of building however, I want you to know that your hands must be strengthened. One of the most effective ways Satan attacks the fruitfulness of a person—whether it's a man, a woman, a youth, a ministry, or a gift is by weakening their hands. 

Nehemiah 6:9 – “For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.”

Great ideas and visionary concepts will remain locked in brilliant minds or at best remain only on paper if your hands aren’t strong enough to turn them into reality. One of the most powerful prayers you can receive is a prayer that reinforces the strength of your hands.

Jacob, knowing the power of this, reserved the best of his prayers for his most beloved child. Look at the prayer he released over Joseph in

Genesis 49:22-24: “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; his branches run over the wall. The archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob.”

Joseph’s fruitfulness couldn’t be stopped by barriers. His branches extended beyond the wall, supplying more than enough to nourish an entire community. Despite the opposition from those who hated him, his strength remained because his hands were strengthened by the Mighty God of Jacob.

Your hands must be strengthened, my friend. Your fruitfulness cannot endure if your hands aren’t strong enough to keep producing, even when faced with hatred and attack. Your work, your calling, your assignment cannot come to fruition without strength in your hands. Pray for God to strengthen your hands today, so that you may build, repair, and restore what has been broken.
