Hold us tightly unto Thee, O LORD JESUS CHRIST
"But
the anointing which ye have received of Him
abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the
same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no
lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him."
-I
JOHN
2:27 [KJV]
Have
you ever had a solitary drop of this holy anointing oil fall upon
your heart? One drop, if it be but a drop, will sanctify you for ever
to the service of God. There was not much of the holy anointing oil
used for the service of the tabernacle, when we consider the size and
quantity of what had to be consecrated, for Moses had to anoint
therewith the whole of the tabernacle of the congregation, as well as
all the vessels, with all their various appurtenances. When he went
through the sacred work, he touched one vessel after another with a
drop of oil; for one drop sanctified the vessel to the service of the
tabernacle. There was no repetition of the consecration wanted; it
abode. So if you ever had a drop of God's love shed abroad in your
heart,—a drop of the anointing to teach you the truth as it is in
Jesus; a drop to penetrate, to soften, to heal, to feed and give
light, life, and power to your soul,—you have the unction from the
Holy One; you know all things which are for your salvation, and by
that same holy oil you have been sanctified and made meet for an
eternal inheritance.
