Scriptural And Unscriptural Use of Anointing Oil (2)          

Thursday 30th January

Text: Mark 6:7, 8, 12, 13 
Key verse: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. John 14:12
c: Anointing oil not mentioned or used by Jesus: All through Jesus’ ministry, He did not use anointing oil, whether for healing or for ministry. He chose His disciples after much prayer and consecrated them to divine service, without anointing them with oil. He did not use oil in any one of the many instances of healing and deliverance performed by Him. He never taught His disciples on the use of oil; neither did He instruct them to use oil when praying for the sick. Jesus assured His disciples that through faith in His name, they could do whatever He had done in His earthly ministry and much more. This means, as Jesus healed the sick, cast out devils, did all kinds of miracles, appointed and consecrated people for the ministry, etc, without the use of anointing oil, those who believe on Him can do the same. 
d: Jesus' disciples used anointing oil once in their evangelistic outreach when they were with Him: Jesus commissioned His disciples to go and preach the gospel. He gave them power to heal the sick and cast out devils. The power was not in anointing oil, because He did not use it throughout His ministry on earth. He did not give bottles of anointing oil to the commissioned disciples. The power He gave them was His name. Jesus’ name was the power He gave the disciples. His name could heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. His Name could cast out all kinds of demons and solve all kinds of problems. However, the scriptural passage before us now shows that the disciples anointed many sick people with oil and healed them through the power Jesus gave them, His name. It shows clearly here that their use of anointing oil was their initiative. They had become accustomed to the use of oil, to anoint the sick according to the tradition of their society. Note that they had not been with Jesus for long before this act. 
Thought For The Day: The power Jesus gave to His disciples was His name 
Song For The Day: In the name of Jesus there is power
Bible Reading For The Day: Leviticus 8-10

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
