2 6. METHODS OF ADVANCEMENT: Aninting Oil Psalm 133 Behld, hw gd and hw pleasant it is fr brethren t dwell tgether in unity. It is like the precius il upn the head, running dwn n the beard. Beard il? I was utterly amazed at hw quickly beard il became ppular amng Suth Africans, unknwingly using a methd that was intrduced in the bible. Oils frm leaves, flwers, barks and seeds are well knwn in ur cuntry. One f the best gifts given t Jesus frankincense, is harvested in Africa. S hw can we ignre such an imprtant spiritual gift and weapn? Gd the Aninted. Luke 1:34-35 Then Mary said t the angel, Hw can this be, since I d nt knw a man? And the angel answered and said t her, The Hly Spirit will cme upn yu, and the pwer f the Highest will vershadw yu; therefre, als, that Hly One wh is t be brn will be called the Sn f Gd ( Gd the Aninted). 2 Crinthians 1: Nw He wh establishes us with yu in Christ and has aninted us is Gd, wh als has sealed us and given us the Spirit in ur hearts as a guarantee. Hebrews 1:9 Yu have lved righteusness and hated lawlessness; Therefre Gd, Yur Gd, has aninted Yu with the il f gladness mre than Yur cmpanins.

3 Accrding t the Strng dictinary gladness agalliasis als means exultatin and exceeding jy. Culd aninting il be used as a methd f advancement? The answer is YES! 1 Samuel 16:13 Then Samuel tk the hrn f il and aninted him in the midst f his brethren; and the Spirit f the LORD came upn David frm that day frward. David were t becme king and using the methd r prphetic actin f aninting David with il, the Spirit f the LORD culd assist, teach and cunsel David fr his assignment he was called fr. 1 Jhn 2:27 But the aninting which yu have received frm Him abides in yu, and yu d nt need that anyne teach yu; but as the same aninting teaches yu cncerning all things, and is true, and is nt a lie, and just as it has taught yu, yu will abide in Him. The enemy bws t the aninting f Gd in yur life. I Chrnicles 14:8-10 Nw when the Philistines heard that David had been aninted king ver all Israel, all the Philistines went up t search fr David. And David heard f it and went ut against them. And David inquired f Gd, saying, Shall I g up against the Philistines? Will yu deliver them int my hand? The Lrd said t him, G up, fr I will deliver them int yur hand. Aninting il is a symbl f the Hly Spirit given t us fr cleansing, purificatin, prtectin, sanctificatin and ultimately t assist r cunsel us in ur calling. Queen Esther has gne thrugh a prcess f beautificatin with il f myrrh preparing her fr the King. As a new believer in Christ a few years back I had t ask the questin why Esther wuld bath in myrrh. The Hly Spirit led me t a cabinet in my huse where I kept medicine. S I asked Hly Spirit what we were lking at. He replied: Lk at the small bttle Lewensessens ( Essence f Life). The Hly Spirit said: read! Then I saw the small printing f an ingredient: mg Myrrh. Why wuld they put gum resin f a tree in a prduct that assists with healing f tummy ache? The Hly Spirit revealed t me that it is t detx. Therefre, Esther was busy detxing frm her ld ways/nature and preparing her fr her calling.

4 Psalm 51:7 Purge me with hyssp, and I shall be clean. Here we see hyssp ( als an il) used in a repentance prayer. Thrughut scripture we see that nt nly peple, but als bjects were aninted: In the tabernacle utensils were aninted ( Leviticus 8:10) ( Exdus 40:9). In Genesis 28:18 Jacb pured il n tp f a stne that he had put at his head and called the place Bethel, meaning Huse f Gd. A few things that shuld always accmpany aninting il is: repentance prayer prphesy Repentance Repentance is a great key that were given t us. Frm that time Jesus began t preach and t say, Matthew 4:17 Repent fr the Kingdm f heaven is at hand. Accrding t the Strngs dictinary t repent means t think differently r recnsider. Prayer Prayer is the secnd key given t us t use with the aninting il. Prayer activates the Hly Spirit t mve thrugh the il. James 5:14 Is anyne amng yu sick? Let him call fr the elders f the church, and let them pray ver him, aninting him with il in the name f the Lrd. Prphesy Prphesy is t say that a specific thing will happen. What life giving wrds can yu speak int the situatin, persn and land that wuld align with the Wrd f Gd?

5 What il can I use? Frequently asked questins: Althugh 100% pure live il is a favurite amngst believers, I knw that even when yu have n access t specific il, Gd ( thrugh the Hly Spirit) can use any il fr any situatin. Hw d I anint smene/smething? First yu need t repent fr any sin in yur wn life. Ask Hly Spirit t guide yu. Put a few drps in yur right hand and anint yurself first by placing yur hand n yur head, yur ears, yur eyes, yur muth, yur heart and all the way dwn t yur feet. Yu can then take mre drps f il and place it n the persn yu want t anint. Yu may als anint yur cars, children, huse, pets, and land. Always be guided by the Hly Spirit. Practical challenges: Fr a week, anint yur husband, wife, children, cats, dgs, birds etc. every mrning r evening making the declaratin that: Jshua 24:15 As fr me and my huse, we will serve the Lrd Anint yur feet and yur shes and make the declaratin: Jshua 1:3 Abba Father, every place that the sle f my ft will tread upn, Yu have given me, as Yu said t Mses. Frm the different spheres f influence: Anint the grund that yu live n. Anint the gates at the entrance t yur huse, prperty, farm, twnship, city r prvince. Anint the gates and grund at yur schl, university, cllege, after- care, pre-schl r crèche. Anint the gates and grund at yur church, hme- cell, ministry, place f wrship, business, wrk- place r factry. Anint the gates and grund f yur municipal buildings, curts, jails, banks, parliament, Unin Buildings, Plice Statins, Fire Brigades, Hspitals and any ther gvernment institutins.

6 Anint the gates and grund f the playgrunds, malls, cinemas, theatres, sprt fields and stadiums. Anint the gates and grund f the taxi ranks, bus stps, bus and train statins r Gautrain statins. Anint the grund and traffic lights at high- accident intersectins. An example f a declaratin and applicatin f aninting il fr the land: Declare: As agents f light, we pur this il nt the land as a tken f the Lrd s aninting and the light f the Hly Spirit. We bind the light f the Lrd t the land. It shall fld dwn t the very fundatin, illuminating and driving ut all darkness. Darkness will flee frm these aninted prperties, muntains, gates, cmmunities, cities r spheres f influence, never t steal ur harvest again, as the supernatural presence f the Lrd will establish a permanent psitin n the land. As we pur the healing il f ur cnslatin int the wunds f ur land, it shall bring frth Shalm peace, prsperity, wellness, happiness, friendliness, welfare, health, favur, rest, safety and verall blessing f the Lrd. It shall be a place frm which the ministry shall flw t all natins and peples f the wrld. All blessing and hnur t ur Lrd and Saviur. May it be a cntinual river f praise and wrship unt ur Gd. Als, financial blessing and generatinal wealth will spring frth frm its depths, with wisdm and hnur as its resting place. N evil shall cme near anyne wh treads upn this land and wh seeks its rest. Amen. In cnclusin I believe the aninting il is a valuable gift t the believers f Suth Africa. Oil t make his face shine. Psalm 104:15 S, shine Suth Africa, shine!!!
