Some notes from recent teaching sessions - they are aimed at giving more of a background / preparatory idea about how a person might move into a position to be "anointed" by God.

1. Basic Principles
of the Anointing

2. अिभषेकको आधारभूत िसद्धान्त

3. The idea of the anointing comes from
the Old Testament, it is physical and
spiritual. Exodus 30—God gives Moses
the instructions for making the anointing
oil.

4. 22 Then the Lord said to Moses, 23 “Take
the following fine spices: 500 shekels of
liquid myrrh, half as much (that is, 250
shekels) of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of
fragrant calamus, 24 500 shekels of cassia—
all according to the sanctuary shekel—and a
hin of olive oil. 25 Make these into a sacred
anointing oil, a fragrant blend, the work of a
perfumer. It will be the sacred anointing oil.

6. A shekel was about 2/5
ounce or 11 grams.
A hin was about 4 quarts
or 3.5 litres.
A lot of dry material with
less liquid, this was
almost a paste!

7. 1. The Ingredients
were Costly

8. 1. सामग्री महँगो िथए
Sāmagrī maham̐ gō thi’ē

9. 30: 23.a. ‫ראׁש‬ ‫בׂשמים‬
“the chief, superior, head aromatic
spices.”
The ingredients were of the best
quality, rare and expensive.

10. Sacrifice is required to
make the best anointing
oil - time, energy,
materials, money…
To make the best we
have to give the best,
The Anointing is costly.

11. God paid an enormous
price for us, he sent his
Son. So,
For our anointing the
price has been paid.

12. We all have an
anointing…but there is
more!
A price we must pay to
take hold of the
promises of God…

13. Christ in Gethsemane, Matt 26: 39
“…he fell with his face to the ground and
prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may
this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I
will, but as you will.”

14. 1 Cor 6: 19-20
Do you not know that your bodies are
temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you,
whom you have received from God? You
are not your own; 20 you were bought at
a price. Therefore glorify God with your
bodies.

15. Php 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is
gain.

16. Gal 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no
longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life
I now live in the body, I live by faith in the
Son of God, who loved me and gave
himself for me.

17. Lk 9:23, 24
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must
deny themselves and take up their cross
daily and follow me. 24 For whoever
wants to save their life will lose it, but
whoever loses their life for me will save
it.”
