1 Sam.16:13, Is.61:1,PS.23:5,92:10.
The Oil typifies ANOINTING UPON & WITHIN A PERSON. It's an empowerment for God's Service. In the old testament, the anointing comes only on THE PRIESTS, KINGS AND PROPHETS to perform spiritual tasks. The rule hasn't changed now just THAT ALL BELIEVERS have been brought in.
The anointing is NOT THAT oil you carry about in the bottle. One man of God in Nigeria once said 'THE ANOINTING IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A BOTTLE'. That statement is completely heretical. To appreciate the Oil Dimension of the Holy Spirit, let's look at d making of the HOLY ANOINTING OIL in old testament.
Song of Songs 1 vs. 3 'Because of the savour of thy ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee'
Ex. 30 vs. 22-25
THE HOLY ANOINTING OIL as described in Ex. 30 typifies THE LIFE-GIVING DIMENSION. 1Cor.15:45.
The holy anointing oil is compounded after the order of the Divine Apothecary-like a pharmacist preparing a DRUG.
It consists of Olive Oil plus 4 Principal Spices compounded after d art of Apothecary. These 4 principal spices have new testament meanings:
A. MYRRH: typifies the suffering and death of Jesus. It's a spice use for embalmment. The death of Jesus released the blood of Jesus which is the basis of our purchase from the kingdom of Darkness. The blood neutralizes EVERY CLAIM OF DARKNESS OVER YOU. So, wen you call the name of Jesus, the testimony of your redemption is registered before the Devil. May God gives you understanding.
B. SWEET CALAMUS: it typifies the resurrection and the quickening power of the Spirit.
C. SWEET CINNAMON: it's a fragrance of life. Eternal Life is now available for all.
Notice that we have Sweet Calamus and Sweet Cinnamon in the spices. The two of them are adding double sweet smell to the holy anointing oil overflowing with the kindness, gentleness and love of Christ.
D. CASSIA: it typifies the humility of Christ, being stripped of pride and set apart for sacred use.
If you don't know, know this now, THE HOLY SPIRIT ANSWERS TO THE NAME OF JESUS. So, when you call the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit moves with ALL THE STRENGTHS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CONNOTATIONS OF THE HOLY ANOINTING OIL.
Notice the words 'POURED FORTH' in Songs 1:3. It means when you call/invoke THE NAME OF JESUS, all the things THE NAME represent are poured out/released/ given WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS. The Holy Spirit as typified by OIL describes the Anointing upon a Believer for Kingdom Service.
I pray that God will bring all the readers into the experiential knowledge(EPIGNOSIS) of this truth in Jesus' name. Amen.
Read it over and over again and SHARE IT.
