READ: Exodus 29:1-24
“And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest’s office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish, and unleavened bread, and CAKES UNLEAVENED TEMPERED WITH OIL, AND WAFERS UNLEAVENED ANOINTED WITH OIL: ….” – Exodus 29:1-2
The anointing oil is to mark you out. When you are anointed with oil, your head looks oily and your clothes also look oiled. It is easy to make you out. There is a big difference between someone who has been anointed with oil and someone who has not. An oiled person stands out. Everyone sees the oil.
Those who do not have oil on them are not any different from the others. They do not have anything that distinguishes them. When there is oil on your head, you need to get home to wash it off. You need to be taken away from the crowds and have the oil washed off. Those who do not have any oil on their heads do not need to be separated from the crowd.
Whenever food is mixed with oil it always tastes nicer. You will notice the expression, “oiled bread”. You are expected to serve oiled bread, and not just bread. Your sermons, your teachings and your messages must be oiled.
Once oil is mixed with the food, you will discover how tasty it becomes. Boiled rice is not easy to eat on its own but fried rice can be eaten on its own because it is much more tasty. Fried plantain is much nicer than boiled plantain. Fried potato chips are nicer than boiled potatoes and easier to eat on their own. Fried eggs are different from boiled eggs. You can eat fried fish on its own, but boiled fish is a different experience.
Indeed, food tempered with oil is a much nicer experience. It is when you are not anointed, that your messages are not pleasant. It is when you are not anointed that your messages are not well received. When you are anointed, even your rebukes and reproofs are received joyfully and gladly.
