By Sidharth Mohandas

Mix a gallon of olive oil with the following costly spices: twelve pounds of myrrh, six pounds of cinnamon, six pounds of cane, and twelve pounds of cassia. Measure these according to the official standards. Then use this sacred mixture. [Exodus 23-25, CEV]

This is the ingredient that the Lord gave to Moses for the anointing oil. As you can see, the main ingredient for the anointing oil is the olive oil. What was so special about olive oil? Olive oil is made by pressing olives through stone wheels. Once the olives are firmly pressed, oil flows. The lesson I’d like to share here is: the more the pressure you are going through, the more the anointing.

If you’re going through trying times, if you think the pressure is more than you can bear, remember the anointing oil is flowing…it’s your time to reach out to someone and minister to them. Don’t lock yourself in your room and cry over what you’re going through, get out and spill the anointing on someone else!
