YT Description/Post
📣 Are you living a Spirit-filled life? 🤔 The anointing described in Exodus 30:21-38 serves as a personal reminder that God is holy so the place where we serve Him and the people who serve Him must likewise be holy. It is not merely a divine command but a daily consecration. Just as the priests were anointed with oil, believers are anointed with the Holy Spirit to live a life full of surrender. This anointing — both physical & spiritual — is a call to be sanctified and to be set apart unto God. Will you walk in the fullness of your calling?
