It takes years of cultivating, training and developing the trees to produce the sacred fruit, "the olive." It grows in “peaceful conditions,” but low elevation. After it has bare its fruit, then it is put under a tremendous amount of pressure to extract its oil. Then the oil is used for anointing and consecrating. When we take the Christian walk of faith, we to take years of training, developing, grafting when we fall and a whole lot of pressure for the anointing to be on our ministry and lives.
In the cultivating process of our lives, sometimes we can grow weary in well doing, not waiting for our time to mature. If we are not properly trained and developed, then we can not withstand the pressures of life. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 2co 1:8. So we grow as a wild olive tree that does not produce much oil. Those of us who get comfortable or too comfortable it's, to the “oil press” we go. We run from our calling, hide our talent, sit in the back of the church because we do not want to be exposed; but when God wants his oil, mama, grandma, and preacher can only pray us through for they can not help us. Being put under a tremendous amount of pressure where we feel exerted, socially pressured, strained with too many urgencies, demands needing immediate attention, weighted down and feeling like someone is just squeezing the life out of us! That's when, GOD WANTS HIS OIL!
As time passes, cultivation is over and the presses stop, God now wants you use his oil. When he uses his oil, we can slip and slide through dangerous toils and snares, narrow escapes, in and out of tight situations,and slide through the hands of the enemy with the anointing he has pressed out of us. It will also makes us exhilarating, gives us dignity and new life when God wants his oil.
Thank you and may God add a blessing to the reader.
