Exodus 27:20 NKJV
"And you shall command the children of Israel that they bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually.
God instructed Israel to bring oil. It had to be pure and from the olive fruit. They had to bring plenty because it would be used for lamps that were to burn continually. We are the light of the world. Jesus compared us to lamps. Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV says, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
God wants us to engage with the oil of the Holy Spirit and the anointing continually so we may burn continually. When the level of oil gets low, we must refill. Ephesians 5:18-20 says, ”And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,” So when we see ourselves operating more with our natural minds we must begin to speak to each other – psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. We must sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord. We must, as representatives of the Lord Jesus, start thanking God for all He has done for us. We must do these and other things until we can tell the oil is replenished and we are burning bright again.
