The “anointing” refers to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit upon a person empowering that person to do what God has assigned them to do. We recognize that the same Holy Spirit who was on Jesus is on us. The anointing is tangible, transmittable and transferable. In part-7 of this series we discuss the holy anointing oil. The anointing is holy and sacred. The one who is anointed by God is empowered by God. The olive trees and olive branches represent the anointed servants of God through whom His anointing oil flows. Whatever used in the service of God, and whoever was to minister to the Lord, must be anointed and consecrated by this holy anointing oil. The blood (cleansing) and the oil (anointing) were used in preparing the priests to serve and minister in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple.
The anointing oil was made by blending pure olive oil with four specific spices: myrrh, cinnamon, cassia, and calamus.
1. Pure olive oil – the presence of the Spirit of God
2. Myrrh – suffering, sacrifice and sweetness of intimacy
3. Sweet cinnamon – righteousness, holiness and passion for God
4. Sweet calamus (aromatic cane) – integrity, uprightness and humility
5. Cassia – submission and worship
The combination of ingredients represents a work of suffering, sacrifice and sweetness of intimacy (myrrh), righteousness, holiness and passion for God (cinnamon), integrity, uprightness and humility (calamus cane), submission and worship (cassia), all essential qualities for those set apart for God’s work. To be anointed with fresh oil we maintain these as an ongoing continual process and part of our lives.
