    About this ebook

    Using anointing oil to minister to people is a controversial issue among believers. Some believers detest its use so much that they walk out of meetings when it is used. The aim of this book is to give us biblical insight into the purpose of the anointing oil and how it can be used for the edification and blessing of believers. With regard to this subject we don't have to condemn others for their position.
    It is scriptural to use anointing oil in ministration but not mandatory. The law of liberty allows those whose faith is enhanced by the use of the oil to use it and those whose faith does not require it not to use it. Those who use it are not more spiritual than those who don't use it and those who don't use it don't necessarily have more faith in the Word of God than those who use it.

      INTRODUCTION

      Using anointing oil to minister to people is a controversial issue among believers. Some believers detest its use so much that they walk out of meetings when it is used. The aim of this book is to give us biblical insight into the purpose of the anointing oil and how it can be used for the edification and blessing of believers. With regard to this subject we don’t have to condemn others for their position.

      It is scriptural to use anointing oil in ministration but not mandatory. The law of liberty allows those whose faith is enhanced by the use of the oil to use it and those whose faith does not require it not to use it. Those who use it are not more spiritual than those who don’t use it and those who don’t use it don’t necessarily have more faith in the Word of God than those who use it.

      We know from the Scriptures that symbols and tokens are used in the operations of the Holy Ghost and oil is one of those symbols. It is used on people as a sign of the Holy Ghost coming upon them and working in them. It can be rubbed or poured on them to symbolise various activities of the Holy Ghost.

      The use of anointing oil occurs in both the New and Old Testaments. God instituted its use in the Old Testament for activities such as anointing kings, priests, preparing offerings, anointing the instruments of the Tabernacle and providing lights for the Tabernacle.

      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.

      Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.

      Exodus 30:30-32

      The anointing oil was so special that it was to come upon no man’s flesh. This means the special anointing oil for the priests was not supposed to touch ordinary people. Since the oil was poured on Aaron and his sons, the term no man, could not have been in reference to every man but to those who had no covenant with God. The oil was dedicated to God for holy application throughout all the generations of the Jews. It must be noted that the phrase throughout all your generations referred to the Jewish Tabernacle and Temple of worship and not New Testament worship in Spirit and in truth.

      One may ask why there is no burning of incense in the New Testament Church though God directed that incense should be burnt in the Tabernacle throughout the generations of the Israelites.

      And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.

      And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.

      Exodus 30:7-8

      Those who are opposed to the use of the anointing oil in church may jump at the above scriptural reference and say that if believers don’t endorse the burning of incense today, they should not also practice the use of the anointing oil. The Scriptures are however, clear on the fact that the use of oil by New Testament saints is scriptural whereas the use of incense is not.

      There are a few references to incense in the New Testament but they don’t suggest in any way that we use incense today. The book of Revelation likens incense to the prayer of the saints.

      And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

      Revelation 5:8

      And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

      Revelation 8:4

      The smoke of the incense was a symbol for prayer – the smoke accompanied the prayer of the saints. The Bible, however, does not say anywhere in the New Testament that Jesus or His disciples burned incense in the places where they prayed or
