The Anointing

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: The Anointing

The anointing was for consecration; it meant Separation and it had everything to do with serving the Lord.
The first mention of oil being poured on something was used on the stone by Jacob in Gen. 28:18; he called it the house of God.

In Gen. 35:14 he again poured oil with a drink offering on the stone, in typology this speaks of Christ.

The anointing with oil was a symbol of endowment with the Spirit of God.
In the Old Testament the custom of the Jews to anoint with oil was to set apart Kings and Priests 1 Sam. 10:1,6; 16:13. It was for serving in the office to which a person was consecrated to (Lev. 8). It was a physical symbol consecrating them to service, showing they were appointed by God.

In the Bible we find anointed places and objects (Exodus 29:36 anointed altar. Ex 30:26 anointed tabernacle and ark. All these were set apart for use in religious service, and for nothing else.) These are all types of ministry and service.

In the New Testament it is people, living temples that God has the anointing dwell in and on.

In the Old Testament two elements that were present in worship were blood and oil. The blood was for cleansing and the oil was used for anointing. All these like the other elements used, are types and symbols of Christ. The tabernacle, the feasts are all typology of Christ.

The anointing is the overflow of Christ, When you are call anointed it mean the Lord's presence is with you, when you are anointed you are concentrated, you are separated you are in a service for God,

LET US PRAY
In the name of Jesus let the anointing of Christ come upon you mightily and separate you from every demonic influence and power in Jesus name you are for signs and wonders
