How can you apply the anointing with "fine oil" in your life? Setting the Scene “Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! It is like fine oil on the head, running down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robe.” (Psalm 133:1-2) What the Fine Oil Signified Then • Consecration—Aaron was set apart for priestly service (Exodus 30:22-30). • Abundance—The oil did not trickle; it flowed. • Fragrance—The perfumed blend filled the air (Exodus 30:25). • Unity—The same oil touched head, beard, and robe; one substance binding every part. Christ, the Fulfillment of the Anointing • “God… anointed You with the oil of joy above Your companions.” (Hebrews 1:9) • “He who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God.” (2 Corinthians 1:21-22) • Through the cross and resurrection, Jesus becomes our eternal High Priest; His anointing now reaches the whole body—every believer (1 Peter 2:9). Practical Ways to Walk in the Anointing Today 1. Consecrate Your Whole Life – Offer daily obedience: thoughts, words, schedules (Romans 12:1). – Remove what defiles the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). 2. Guard Spiritual Unity – Resolve conflicts quickly (Ephesians 4:3). – Speak truth in love, refusing gossip or division (Proverbs 16:28). 3. Cultivate the Fragrance of Christ – Soak in Scripture; let His words saturate you (Colossians 3:16). – Practice grateful worship that “spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him” (2 Corinthians 2:14). 4. Expect Overflow – Ask the Spirit to fill you continuously (Ephesians 5:18). – Serve others out of that overflow—generosity, encouragement, intercession (Luke 6:38). 5. Stand in Confidence – “You have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.” (1 John 2:20) – Reject fear and condemnation; God Himself has set His seal on you (2 Corinthians 1:22). Maintaining the Flow • Regular repentance keeps channels clear (1 John 1:9). • Fellowship draws more oil; isolation lets it congeal (Hebrews 10:24-25). • Faith-filled obedience invites fresh supply (Acts 5:32). Living Out the Blessing The fine oil once poured on Aaron now pours on you through Christ. Let it set you apart, bind you to your brothers and sisters, release a winsome aroma, and spill over in blessing wherever you go. |
