The Importance Of Being Anointed

"You annoint my head with oil"
Psalm 23:5 NIV

In Bible times shepherds anointed their sheep with
oil for 2 purposes:

 (1) To repel insects.
If insects are allowed to deposit their eggs into
the soft membrane of a sheep's nose, the eggs become worm-like larvae, driving the sheep insane.  The ewes stop milking and the lambs stop
growing. So the shepherd anoints his sheep
with an oil-like repellent that keeps the enemy
at bay and the flock at peace.
(2) To heal wounds. 
Most wounds result from living with the flock.
Thorns prick, rocks cut, or a sheep rubs its
 head too hard against a tree. The shepherd
regularly inspects them because he doesn't
want today's wound to become tomorrow's
infection.  So he pours on the healing oil.  Are
 you getting the picture?  Whether circumstances
are driving you crazy, or you've just been
wounded as a result of living with the flock, there
are 2 things you need to do:
First, go to the Shepherd.  Before you go
to anybody else, go to God. Why? Because
 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Ps 147:3 NIV).
Second, bow before Him. To be anointed, the
 sheep must lower their heads and let the shepherd apply the oil. Humble yourself. Call on the Lord
"God will always give what is right to his people
 who cry to him.. .he will  not be slow to answer
 them" (Lk 18:7 NCV).  The sheep don't understand how the oil works but they don't have to.
 It's enough to know that something happens
in the presence of their Shepherd that happens nowhere else.
So get into His presence today! 

"Come My child"

Come to me my child and lay your head upon my breast; 
I will pour my love upon you and give you peace and rest.
 I am He who gave my all for you when I died on Calvarys Hill;  Your heart, your mind and spirit, with my Holy
Ghost I will fill!  I want to make you my child and
claim you for my own;   I will always be here with you and you'll never be alone.  The love that I am offering from
no other you'll receive;  Just reach out and accept it,
trust me and believe!  The oil of my annointing I will
pour out upon you;  My Holy Spirit will dwell within
and will guide you in all that I ask of you.  I will fill your life with joy, just fix your eyes on me; You'll find all you've
 been searching for and a home with me eternally!
