Exodus 17:8 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 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;

Lesson from the Passage Jehovah Nissi the Lord our Banner:
1 God has chosen leadership, if we will hold up the leaders hand in support God can give us such a momentous victory we will testify God is our banner. Many want God to be their banner without consideration of the fullness of truth. God has an ordained order and to walk in the fullness of the blessing we must walk in His order.
2 When Aaron and Hur held up Moses' hand the battle went well for the children of Israel . Without the support of Aaron and Hur Moses did not possess the strength to hold out the rod to the end of the battle. God needs us to hold up the hands of our leadership.
3 We can fly the flag that God is our banner as we submit to Him
