Who Should Use Anointing Oil?

For those who are spiritual and take their faith seriously, anointing oil is a must-have in their calling. Prayer oil is a special type of oil originating from the Bible and is used in a series of ceremonies and rituals that are part of the Christian faith.

Those who believe and follow the teachings of the church and elders should prayerfully use oil as a sign of their faith and commitment. Prayer oil is typically a mixture of olive oil and different scents, depending on the type of ceremony and ritual being performed. It is used to symbolize the believer’s commitment to the faith, and is considered a sign of blessing from God.

The use of prayer oil dates back to the time of Jesus and the Old Testament, and it is an important part of every Christian ceremony. It is used for baptism, communion, confirmation, and ordinations, as well as many other occasions. It is also a necessary part of religious healing ceremonies, where it is used to bless and bring healing to the person being anointed.

Church elders who want to ensure that their religious ceremonies are properly conducted should absolutely include anointing oil as a crucial part of their service. It is a sign of a serious commitment to the faith, and a reminder of the presence of God. The use of anointing oil is essential for a well-defined and faithful religious ceremony.

The truth is that every born again Christian can use anointing oil for ceremonial, familial, and personal purposes. During Biblical times, anointing oil was predominantly used in ceremonial services, with Israel commonly anointing the heads of their kings with oil.

Samuel also anointed the head of young David as he was selected as King. When priests were selected, they too were anointed, especially as they prepared to transition to high priest positions. Similarly, in modern days, we by faith, and according to scripture use oil in bible meetings, dedications, committal services, etc. Church leaders can also use this anointing oil for special ceremonies. Christian families may use anointing on their spouse, their children, and their relatives, while others are free to use anointing oil to anoint their homes, personal possessions, and assets that they want to be covered and set apart for holy purposes.

So they set out and preached that the people should repent. They also drove out many demons and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil.
(Mark 6:12-13)

Most importantly, the use of oil for the anointing of the sick should only be done by elders, as scripture advises. Persons who are extremely ill or who have a major pending procedure can call for the elders to anoint them, and prayers prayed in faith will make such a sick person well.
