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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will.

Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
