Exodus 27:20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.
Praise the Lord!!
Today we will meditate upon oil used for the service. Lord commanded that Israelites should bring oil which are beaten, pure, used for lighting the lamps forever.
Oil is similitude to your anointing, when you come to serve the Lord. Come in your Anointing which will break all the bonds and set you in liberty.
In new testament Jesus gave us a parable of 10 virgins. 5 of them were wise and 5 of them were foolish.
Matthew 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Matthew 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Let's understand what is this oil and why is this so important in the service to the Lord.
Psalms 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Psalmist says He anoints his people with oil of gladness above all. Those who follow him will be in gladness all the time. They will rejoice in the Lord. They will never be troubled or whining for every trouble that comes their way.
Psalms 104:15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
This oil is to make your face shine in midst of all your troubles. The Anointing will give a shine on your face, Moses when he went to see the Lord on the mount. His face shone so that nobody could look at him.
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Saints let's enter into the house of the Lord with Thanksgiving in our heart and rejoicing knowing that he will always guide us, protect us and lead us to everlasting life.
God bless
