In Psalms 68:32, the act of stretching our hands unto God is depicted in three significant ways: surrender, worship, and prayer. Dr. Antoine Rutayisire elaborates on these aspects, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging God's authority, surrendering ourselves to Him, and engaging in worship and prayer. Furthermore, he highlights the pivotal role of the church, particularly the mountain of religion, in influencing and bringing God back into the world's equation. This article explores the insights shared by Dr. Rutayisire and delves into the transformative power of the church when it embraces its divine purpose.

Stretching Our Hands in Surrender, Worship, and Prayer
By stretching our hands unto God, we express our surrender to His authority. Surrendering ourselves to God means recognizing that He holds all power and control over our lives. It is an act of humility and submission, acknowledging that His ways are higher than ours. Additionally, when we stretch our hands in worship, we open our hearts to receive His divine nature. Worship becomes an avenue for us to intimately connect with God, allowing Him to transform us and mold us into His image.
Prayer, another form of stretching our hands to God, is a powerful way to communicate with Him. Through prayer, we make supplications for others and seek His guidance and intervention. As leaders on the various mountains of influence, it is crucial to intercede on behalf of those we lead and the world at large. By engaging in heartfelt prayer, we align ourselves with God's will and invite His presence to bring about change.
The Mountain of Religion and its Influence
Drawing inspiration from Exodus 17, Dr. Rutayisire emphasizes that the mountain of religion holds a significant influence over all the other mountains of influence. Unfortunately, the exclusion of God from various spheres has led to the world's defeat. However, by bringing God back into the equation through the mountain of religion, the world can experience transformation and restoration. Just as Aaron and Hur supported Moses on the mountain, the church has the responsibility to hold hands with leaders in other domains, contributing to positive change.
The Church's Role as the Body of Christ
As the body of Christ, the church carries the key to everything. It is the vessel through which Jesus' will is manifested in the world. Dr. Rutayisire highlights the importance of true discipleship, stating that believers should possess the DNA of Jesus Christ. Love for one another becomes the distinguishing mark of true disciples, a testament to the genuine relationship with Christ. Unfortunately, the focus on gaining followers rather than fostering true believers has hindered the church's impact.
Bringing Back God's Glory
Dr. Rutayisire emphasizes that the church has the potential to part the seas and lead God's people to cross over every obstacle. However, this requires the restoration of God's glory in our midst. The anointing of the Holy Spirit is paramount for transformation and change. When the glory of God returns to the church, it becomes a catalyst for societal and personal transformation. The church, as the bride of Christ, must give birth to children who resemble their Father and carry His glory.
Dr. Antoine Rutayisire's insights shed light on the power of a church stretching its hands unto God. Through surrender, worship, and prayer, believers can align themselves with God's authority and experience His transformative presence. The mountain of religion plays a vital role in influencing and bringing God back into the world's equation. The church, as the body of Christ, carries the key to transforming society by reflecting the DNA of Jesus Christ and fostering true discipleship. By embracing God's glory, the church becomes an agent of change, parting the seas and leading people into a new season of hope and victory.
