It
Is Written, Exodus 30:30, unknowing to Aaron and his sons and
consecrate them, so they may serve me as priests.
When
you read the Old Testament, you find many incidents where anointing
occurred. There was the common everyday type of anointing, mostly
with perfumes and other types of oils. Then there were sacred
anointing s with special holy oil.
We
will look at the sacred oil. It was made by priests according to a
formula given to Moses by God. Exodus 30:23 – 25 this oil was used
for anointing prophets, Kings, and priests. Anyone anointed with this
special sacred oil, was protected by God Psalm 105:15 among others.
When
someone was anointed, such as a prophet, he had a special connection
with God. He could talk to God, pass on prophecy from God to the King
or the people, and even work miracles as directed by God. These
people were chosen by God, to do specific things.
You
really don't see that type of anointing in everyday life. That does
not mean that type of anointing is not happening.
I
believe the anointing today comes as a spiritual one from the Holy
Spirit. There are people today who seem to have special insight in
teaching the Bible. Some are evangelists, and some have a healing
ministries. I believe God picked these people because He knows they
are willing to do everything it takes to fulfill His plan. When God
picks them, the Holy Spirit anoints them for their particular role.
God
knows what each of us is capable of, and what we are willing to do.
What we have to do, is understand that if God wanted us to do
something different he would've put it in our hearts. Just as the
celebrity preachers are doing their job, we need to do ours, knowing
that in God's eyes, we are just as good as they are, and He loves us
just as much.
Remember
Jesus Loves You
Prayer
of Salvation
Lord
Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross for me. Your blood
washed away all my sins, by your stripes I was healed, your death and
resurrection brought me salvation. Please forgive my sins, and come
into my heart as my personal Savior.
