ANOINTING OIL

Exodus 30: 30, 31

And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto Me in the Priest's office. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, "This shall be an holy  anointing oil unto Me throughout your generations".

God instructed the use of Holy anointing oil to be placed on every vessel of the Tabernacle and on every person who ministered in the Tabernacle.  Holy anointing oil was used to light the Tabernacle and to give the cloud of the Presence of GOD. This Word from the LORD was to be fulfilled throughout all generations, even today.

In some of the writings of the early fathers of the Church, it was stated that we should treat one another as we treat the vessels of the altar.  Does this mean that we should handle each relationship with holy hands; caring more for them than for the use that they have? I believe so!!!! The vessels of the altar were consecrated to GOD and anointed by the anointing oil; sanctified and consecrated. Are those who love JESUS and are filled with His holy Spirit any different than the vessels of the altar?

We are the bearers of that Holy oil of the Holy Spirit to bring light into the darkness of this world and to be gentle healers of the wounds of the hurt and harmed people.  Our gentleness, and kindness will restore the broken vessels and the Holy Spirit will anoint them and us for His service. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness gentleness, meekness, faith, and temperance; this is one fruit and for one use, to glorify JESUS. It is through JESUS Christ that all will be saved and that the Father will be glorified. The Holy Spirit glorifies the Son and the Son glorifies the Father; all heaven rejoices.

BE WISE AS SERPENTS AND GENTLE AS DOVES; WIN THE LOST THROUGH KINDNESS AND THE OIL OF JOY
