The Anointing Part 3: The Oil

Now, let's share about the oil.


In the ancient testament, the oil was used for:


1:anointing


2: preparing food


3: medicine


In anointing, oil was used to pour on someone to consecrate them as a king, prophet or a priest.


This is to say that the oil was very important Israel people's society life and relationship with their God.

In today's world there are kings, prophets, and priests. For example, the one predestined to be a leader has a seed of kings, and the one predestined to be a pastor has a seed of prophet and priest.

All these need a Servant of God to anoint them. In the Bible Saul had in him a seed of king, but he didn't realise that until the day he met with the prophet Samuel. This Servant of God told him the things that will happen to him in the future, and he prayed for him and anointed him as a king.

Each and every person has something that God has put in them. You need also to meet with a
Servant of God.
