The Oil of Anointing Brings forth victory.

First time the bible recorded about anointing is anointing the priest. Exodus 29 vs 7 And you shall take the anointing oil pour it on his head and anoint him.

And the priest becomes the anointed one. He is Holy and God wants him to holy and perfect in the eyes of God. To perform his priestly duties.

Today we are also priest in the eyes of the Lord but in a better covenant that is through the blood of Jesus.

1Peter 2 6,7 8 & 9 confirms that we are priest and not the priest of the Old covenant but the New Covenant and made us Royal priesthood because of Jesus our master. But we need the Oil. With the oil of Anointing nothing works. Oh brother the oil is a significant of the Holy Spirit. I agree but they poured the oil on the priest and things happened in their life.

On Prophets. The Lord appeared to Elijah and told him to anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as King over Israel.. And Elisha the son of Shapat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.( 1 Kings 19 vs 16)

On Kings .1 Samuel 10 :1

Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head and kissed him and said “Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance?

When God ahs anointed you no one can touch you. Because you are the anointed vessel of God. Even King David was unable to touch Saul when opportunity arise. Because it grieved David when he cut the garments of King Saul as a sign that God has given King Saul was under his mercy.

On Sacred Objects Exodus 30 26-28

Vs 26 With it you shall anoint the tabernacle of meeting and the ark of the testimony .

Vs27 the table and all its utensils the lamp stand and its utensils and the altar of incense.

Vs28 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils and the layer and its base.

A church in Jakarta which has 150,000 members. During the riot in Indonesia all the houses that belongs to the Chinese were burnt down. But, none of Paria Gi’s church members church were burnt. The did what the pastor taught them to do. They poured the oil form the front to the back believing that God will protect their House. And God did. Their neighbours house were burnt down but none of their houses were burnt down.

The power God has given us we fail to believe.

People with sickness when they pour the Olive oil believing God will work a miracle God did. Many sickness were healed.

Even tumors were healed.

A man poured the olive oil believing God will protect him. Yes God did. The rioters came and banged his wind screen with a hammer. Nothing happened they tried again, nothing happened, the whole gang fled.

Our God is a great God He gave us victory over our enemies.

Ordinary Purpose

1. Ruth 3:3,4&5

Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down the threshing floor; but do not make known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

Vs4 Then it shall be when He lies down that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in and uncover his feet and lie down and he will tell you what you should do.”

Vs 5 And she said to her, “All that you say to me I will do.”

This is something fantastic should be taught to the youths today. Just anoint yourself with the olive oil and pray God will give you the best husband who loves God.

Boaz is a millionaire. His name is translated as kinsman redeemer. And this Ruth became the Great grand mother of our Lord and also King David. She is a Moabite.

2. Hospitality Purpose. Luke 7 36-39

Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house and sat down to eat.

VS37 And behold a woman in the city who was a sinner when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house brought an alabaster of fragrant oil.

Vs 38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping and she began to wash His feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the Fragrant Oil.

Vs 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this he spoke to himself, saying ,

“This man, if He were a prophet would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”

3. The Oil is Used in battle. Isaiah 21Vs5

Vs 5 Prepare the table,

Set a watchman in the tower,

Eat and drink

Arise you princes,

Anoint the shield.

Even in your work place there will be a kind of battle. You have done well. But your bosses or the one who is superior is not happy. Bible say anoint the shield with oil. Anoint your work place with oil.

The devil is so scared of the anointing oil. He will flee from you. What is due to you will come to you.

When you pour the anointing oil you are telling Lord I surrender to you. And God taken in charge.

4. Medical Purpose. Wound or for healing

Luke 10:34

And went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine and he set him on his own animal brought him to an inn and took care of him.

Jesus is the Good Samaritan today. Yet when we are sinners He died, he healed us, He took ours sins, pains sorrows, our poverty and gave us victory.

He heals us deep inside.

5. The oil actually speaks about our Lord Jesus.

Psalm 45:7

You love righteousness and hate wickedness;

Therefore God, your God has anointed you,

With oil of gladness more than your companions.

Jesus is the greatest God. No one can compare with Him. And when we use this oil that speaks about Jesus. In Jesus name we have victory.

Isaiah 61:1

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,

Because the Lord has anointed Me,

To preach good tidings to the poor;

He has sent me to Heal the broken hearted

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And the opening of the prison to those who are bound.

6. There shall be no judgement on you. Because you have the anointing oil of God with you. Duetronomy 28:40

One of the judgement is you shall olive trees but you shall not have olive oil over you.

But today thanks be to God through Jesus His son the oil is around us we just use it in Jesus name.

Conclusion:

Pslam 105 vs 15

Saying, “ Do not touch My anointed ones,

And do my prophets no harm

1 John 2:27

But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all thing and is true and is not a lie and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him

Getting the wisom from God for Year 2010

Title of Message: Getting the Wisdom from God for Year 2010.
Pastor Joel Christie Isaiah
Date: 3 January 2010

Introduction: How Do We Get Wisdom?
Here is a question that the Bible directly answers in scripture. In James 1:5, James writes, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James states that if someone wants wisdom, that he may ask God and God will give him wisdom. James doesn't, however, state "how" God gives wisdom; neither does James state that prayer is the ONLY way through which we can get wisdom. James simply says to ask for it if you lack it and God will do the giving. But how does God give wisdom?
In the past, God gave wisdom directly to those who were inspired. In Daniel 2:23, Daniel thanks God for the wisdom that God had miraculously given to Him. He says, "I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of thee; for thou hast made known unto us the king's matter." Peter also tells us that God had inspired Paul with wisdom to write his epistles in 2 Peter 3:15, 16: "And account that the long suffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you; as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unsteadfast wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." God also gave Jesus great wisdom prompting some to ask from where such wisdom originated: "And when the sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man, and what mean such mighty works wrought by his hands?" ( Mark 6:2). Paul also wrote concerning miraculous wisdom that was given by the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12:8: "For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit." With the cessation of miraculous gifts ( 1 Corinthians 13:8-10) also came the cessation of miraculous wisdom. Does God give wisdom directly today? One might just as well argue that God gives knowledge directly as he would that God gives wisdom directly today.
However, God does give wisdom in other ways. Just as God once gave knowledge directly by inspiration, which knowledge is now contained within His word, so also God, who gave wisdom by inspiration, has also left much wisdom for us in His word. The writer of the book of Proverbs states plainly that if one desires to know wisdom, that he should study that book. Proverbs 1:1-3 state: "The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity…." Paul also spoke concerning the wisdom that was revealed through the gospel in 1 Corinthians 6:7, "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory." Finally, Paul teaches that within the mystery of Christ "are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" ( Colossians 2:3).
Are there other ways in which God makes wisdom known? Yes. In Ephesians 3:10 Paul writes that God makes known His wisdom through the church. "To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God." We also may gain wisdom through our cumulative lifetime experiences. If we believe that all things work together for good for the Christian ( Romans 8:28), then God may also use "all things" to give wisdom as well.
God gives wisdom! What a great and wonderful blessing. May we ever look for and expect the wisdom of God in our lives.

Zechariah 4: 6&7
So he answered and said tome:
"This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
"Not by might nor by power, but My spirit.
Says the Lord of hosts.
vs7 "Who are you, O great mountain?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!
And He shall bring forth the capstone
With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!"'"

Nothing of our self effort it is all depending on Our Abba Father and through His Son Jesus all things are possible.
