Let us receive and make others receive the oil anointment.
   
 
        Dear brothers and sisters, god sends his missionaries generally in the correct time to the correct place. He will reveal his words through the missionaries and fulfill his wishes. God’s words are coming to you through this magazine. It will not go in vain. Hence by reading this you must bear 30, 60 and 100% benefit from it. God sent Moses to Egypt in the correct time. Eliza was sent by god to a poor widow in Sarribath in the correct time. He called Isaiah in the correct time. God himself came to the world in the proper time. He will come again in the appropriate time. Yes Readers, God always sends his messengers in the suitable time to the suitable place.
      A few days ago, a young woman phoned to me thus I participated in your prayer meeting at Madipakkam on the 2nd Sunday. I lost everything in my life and was cheated. I wanted to commit suicide after attending your meeting. But on that day you said that God is sending me with peace of mind. My decision was turned upside down. I came home with a transformed heart and mind. Yes Readers, God’s words will reach you in the proper time and it will give you life. Hence believe in the words of God and receive his blessings.
        First of all, we see an instance in the book of kings, 2 King 4th Chapter. The wife of a man from the company of Prophets cried out to Eliza. Your servant, my husband is dead and you know that he revered the Lord but now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves. What shall I do? She asked. See God took the Prophet to her at the correct time that is important. The Prophet asked her what do you have in your house?
      Generally we will ask what can I do for you? But look at this Prophet. He asked what do you have? When you go to various places people in distress will come to us and we will ask them what shall we do for you? We never ask them what do you have? But Eliza asked what do you have? A missionary must be a man of specialty. He must create miracles. Even I wish the same. He is appointed to bring solution to the problems. Eliza was also such a man. That woman replied and said I have only a little quantity of oil. Eliza said go round and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few and then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars and as each is filled put it to one side. She left him and afterwards behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring what a wonder oil did not subside. When all the jars were filled she said to her son bring me another one. But he replied there is no jar left. Then the oil stopped flowing.
       What does the oil denote in this instance? It is the power of God, The Holy Spirit, and the power from the highest Heavens Sam 23:5. David says you anoint my head with oil. In Mathew Chapter 25 we read about the ten virgin’s parable. Here also oil denotes the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a fountain and it never dries (John 4:13, 14). In this Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
      It makes difference when the fountain of Holy Spirit flows from you into others. Each heart should be filled with this Holy Spirit. This is the wish of God in these last days. When this is fulfilled it encloses this truth. When this fountain of Holy Spirit flows from you into another man, his worldly needs are achieved. This is the real truth. When Jesus was in this world, he said first of all seek the kingdom of God. Then everything will be given unto you. We are living and dying without knowing this. You may ask a question God has called yourselves as Missionaries to propagate his church. We are laymen can we do your work? These last days we must strive hard to build God’s kingdom. In your streets and work places speak about God and make your oil to flow into them. Then all the needs of the world will be achieved.
       Sometimes there may be some blocks in these flows of oil into others but God will break open the blocks and make way for it. Today the Holy Spirit is asking you what do you have? You may say what I have. I have lost everything and I am desperate but God says if you make the fountain of Holy Spirit in you flow into others, then everything will be given unto you.
      Dear friends, when the anointing oil flows from you into others it will bring you blessings. Kindly realize this and follow it in your lives.
      Two thousand years ago, when Jesus was in this world thousands of people came to hear his words. He felt pity upon them. God loves and feels pity on his sheep and gave his life for them. He felt pity on the Israelites and on the people of Niniway. When he was on this world, he felt pity on those who came to hear his words and said they are like sheep without shepherds. When the crowd was hungry, he asked his disciples what do you have? They said five loaves of bread and two fishes. Jesus got them look up to the Heaven and bless them. It was sufficient for five thousand people. They ate and were satisfied. Jesus compared his body to bread in many instances. I am the living bread who came down from Heaven. Those days he fed the Israelites with Manna. I am the Manna given to you now. Anyone who believes in me shall live even if he dies. He gave his own body and subsidized the hunger of many. He is subsidizing and will subsidize. In this world many and many are accepting Jesus and following his ways. He gave himself for us. Let us give ourselves to him.
      Let us say my life is for you and every creation is for you, then he will be very pleased.
      I know about a person from Andhra, he is the owner of Bible Education TV, Mr. Christopher Boda. He belongs to an ordinary Lombardy cast. He offered himself to God. He prayed and asked God to make him the hunger relieving water of people. In the night, when everybody is sleeping, he used to kneel down in a deserted place and pray that he may get a place for him. Sometimes he used to walk on his knees and pray. God looked up on him and his dedication and he granted him today a TV to publicize him and his mission through it. He is also conducting an orphanage for the poor. If you offer yourselves today to him, he will relieve the hunger of many through you.
      At last, Peter and John went to church. There was a man lame from birth sitting and begging. Peter told him we have nothing to give you, but we will give what we have in the powerful name of Jesus. I tell you get up and walk he said. Immediately he jumped up and walked into the church with them. Why did Peter say so? The layman looked at them and it appeared as if he is trying to know what they have. Yes when people come to missionaries with their problems, they also look in the same way.
      Sir, what do you have? The Fact is missionaries have nothing in them. But they have the name of God who called them as missionaries and made them preach his words. Whenever they use that name, the Devils tremble. In Mark 16:17, it is written you will drive out devils in my name. When we stand on the preaching alter, we only pronounce the name of Jesus and miracles happen.  
        The name of Jesus has power. He crushed the head of Satan under the Cross. He also gives us the power to crush his head. The power given to us by Jesus is the oil which denotes the Holy Spirit. That name has power in itself. If anybody asks what do you have your reply must be I have the name of Jesus. Then the world and Satan will bow their head before you. Your life will be a successful one.
        Let us realize this and live a meaningful Christian life.
