Oil: The Commodity of the Kingdom
Oil
We should not overlook and think it a coincidence that oil is such a prominent commodity in the world system. Wars, nations, wealth, powers: civilization itself revolves around oil. Is this not the commodity of Heaven: the Kingdom? The Anointing of the Holy Spirit is likened to oil. His Anointing ought to be sought after, purchased with our time and devotion; after all It is what was the difference between the 5 wise virgins who went into the Wedding of the Lord and the 5 foolish who did not. See Matthew 25. Let’s be ablaze and burning with the Holy Spirit. Let’s keep out lamps filled. Let’s be like the olive trees in Zechariah with their branches dipping in the golden oil. Let’s pay the price for the Oil of God.
