God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: DO NOT TURN PEOPLE’S FAITH FROM JESUS TO ANOINTING OIL

TEXT: PSALM 89: 19-24 

SUNDAY JULY 16TH

Key verse: Psalm 89: 20 “I have found David My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him:”
In the ministry of Jesus. we do not see Jesus using anointing oil on anybody. When He sent out His disciples, did He give them bottles of anointing oil? No. There was no record. But the disciples when the Bible says in Mark 6:12, I think that they anointed people with oil, which means it was in common possession. They could have gotten this oil from the houses of those people as first aid. “Anointed some people with oil and healed them” What did they heal them with? Is it oil or the Name of Jesus? They healed them with the name of Jesus. 
Now James, in the book of the Acts of Apostles with the diverse healings and miracles that took place there; did you hear of the account of oil there? No. Now come to the ministry of Paul the apostles which the Lord raised up, the Lord blessed and anointed, did we hear Paul talk about anointing oil? No. It was mentioned once in James, “Is anyone sick among you, let him do what? Let him go and meet the elders. Is that what the Bible says? Let him call for the elders, which means your case is heavy, else you should have gone to them but you are now to call for the elders. You call because even in Jesus’ time there were issues that they called Him to their houses which means they were heavy issues.
There were heavy issues that they called Him to the house; otherwise, the sick ones were brought to Him. “My daughter is even now dead” “My servant is lying at home grievously tormented; can you come and heal him?” Jesus visited those houses. So, if anyone is sick, let him call the elders. It is not for common ailments. Let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord and the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up and if he has committed sin, it shall be forgiven him. That rubbing as we suppose, is a communication of love to the sick as the hand of a lover. How do you see the hand of the doctor on your body? When the doctor touches the affected parts, you feel reassured. 

Thought for the day: Communication of love seems to strengthen faith of the sick.

Song for the day: He touched me, O Jesus touched me…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 19-21; Acts 19:21-41

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
