March Ministerial Notes 2015

The LORD’s divine reason for being anointed with the LORD’s Holy Anointing Oil was especially for the consecration of a person, place, or thing to God for His Work and use. The word anoint means to pour oil upon a person, a place, or a thing for sacred purposes.

Under the Old Testament Covenant, the anointing with the Anointing Oil was done in the case of installing the following persons in their offices and ministries:

• Jewish Priests,


• Jewish Kings,


• Jewish Prophets, and ultimately,


• the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ.

The Mosaic Tabernacle and everything in it was also to be anointed in order to consecrate all its furniture and utensils to be used in God’s service.
