Topic: The Making of the Spices of Resurrection
Ministering: Reverend Kayode Oyegoke
(Message begins)
Mark 16:1
"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him."
Thank God for the preparation of a tomb for our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank God because they never dug a tomb for Jesus; the man Joseph already prepared His tomb before His death. Customarily, Jews don't dig downward; they dig inwards into caves. They make a hole and then make a home there to hide the dead. When Joseph took Jesus' body, he wrapped it in clean linen and laid it in his own tomb.
How would the women have put away the stone since it was heavy and no man was there to help them?
Mark 16:2
"And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun."
The women came to the grave, and they knew and believed that Jesus would rise from the dead. But the Apostles did not believe. Why did the women believe? Where did they get faith from? It is simple; a man would easily give up his dead but a woman would not.
These women went to the tomb because they wanted the body of Jesus. They were in love with Jesus; they loved the Lord so deeply that they were not afraid of the Roman soldiers. So you can see why they kept visiting the grave. The Apostles didn't go back but the women did. These women knew the doctrine of Jesus and must have been talking amongst themselves. They must have recalled Lazarus' death and how Jesus raised him to life. They went back to Jesus' tomb in the early hours of the morning at the right time on the day He said He would resurrect.
The question then is, "why did they go to the tomb with sweet spices?" (Matt. 16:1). They were warring against corruption. If Jesus had not risen, they had planned to use the spices to preserve the body so that the spirit can enter into it and resurrect as Jesus said He would. They moved early in the morning to wage war against the forces of corruption.
No man anointed Jesus' body. It was done by women; the Holy Ghost used women. When a woman poured the alabaster box, men complained about it (Matt. 26:8). Another woman anointed Jesus' feet with her tears and then kissed it. No one expressed deep devotion to Jesus more than the women, yet they were not numbered among the twelve; it was God's design. But these women were Jesus' disciples, and they followed Him from Galilee for 3 years non stop.
Mary, the mother of James, followed her children everywhere they went. She was the mother who asked Jesus to allow her sons to stay by His side in heaven (Matt 20:20-21). Women dance around perfume; they like fragrance.
Animals were created before man, but came into existence after Adam. Adam had to name them. Thereafter, God formed the woman and brought her to the man. It is good for a woman to suffer with you but it's also good for them to be glorified.
Even in the natural, God will give you a very good landing pad after some suffering. Take your wives out; let her experience a different fragrance, give her money. Love your wife as your own body and take care of her. May God fill us with strength.
Mark 16:1
"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him."
There are spices that are sweet. Do you eat them? No. There is sweet cinnamon and sweet calamus.
Exodus 37:29
"And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary."
Apothecaries are perfumers. They make perfumes. Perfumes are spirits.
In this chapter, we see that this oil must be worn only by the priests. Aaron must wear it constantly. If one who isn't a priest wears it, he must be put to death. This is a second relationship showing oil and spices. Anointing means ointment. Oil is such that solid materials are dissolved in it.
Mark 16:1
"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him."
They took the oil and went to anoint the body of Jesus as a priest. They wanted to keep the body alive because they believed He would rise again. Jesus was crucified, and He died in the daytime. By evening, they made sure His body had been taken off the cross so it wouldn't meet the passover. They brought the spice because they believed that Jesus would rise again. The Lord God must have put it in their hearts to do that.
There is also a relationship between women and spices (Song of Solomon 1:3). Ointment is anointing. Anointing pulls women; our Father made it so. Men are not easily pulled by anointing, they try to observe first. However, God uses women to pull their husbands in.
When you see a woman who isn't attracted to anointing, there is something wrong. Every woman ought to like anointing. Other things that can steal a woman's heart include fame, power, e.t.c., but anointing can still pull such a woman.
Women's needs are beyond natural. She wants someone who can go beyond the natural to bring solutions. That is why you'll see evil prophets being followed by some kind of women.
There were many women in Israel, but few followed Jesus. Jesus was the oldest among His disciples. So, James' mother must have been in her late 40s or in her 50s, yet she followed Jesus who was in His 30s.
At 60, a Jew starts resting and his son takes over the family's estate. If Jesus were to marry, He would have done so at age 26.
These women kept following Jesus even until His death and grave. What a passion! It means, for all of the years they followed Jesus, they became intertwined with Him and had no life outside Him. No family that follows Jesus does so in vain.
You use spices on the dead and pour ointment on the dead. So, they anointed Jesus.
You don't push yourself into ministry, neither do you start a ministry because you have money.
Ephesians 4:2-9
"With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; [3] Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [4] There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; [5] One Lord, one faith, one baptism, [6] One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. [7] But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. [8] Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. [9] (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?"
The realm of one is a realm of stature.
Eph. 4:11 speaks of the head power gifts. Anytime God is stretching His hand He is using the five fold ministry to reach the body. The legs (helps ministry) support the body and the hands need the leg (1 Cor. 12:28). Ministers ought to minister according to their proportion of grace (Rom. 12:6).
Prophecy is a helps ministry. To be a hand-man, you must have anointing to see the word. The hand-man teaches Christ. Christ is the anointed one, and such a one is called to divide Christ.
God uses oil to explain art. So, they call the ointment an art of the apothecary. God is saying that when an oil is poured forth, a name is being measured. Oil means spirit, while spices are natures; they are usually dissolved in the oil. The Holy Ghost represents the oil.
Some apostles are not full apostles. When an apostle opens the word, fresh things open up. Some people can be sent but without the ingredients of He who sent them. Jesus can send you but you may not preach Him. Those who are Jesus’ apostles represent only Him and nothing else. Some people are sent to the body, not because they stand in the apostolic office nor are they not full apostles, they are just sent. Someone like T.L Osbourne was not an apostle but all he preached was Jesus. He stood in the office of a Prophet; he was a Prophet and Evangelist of Jesus.
Kenneth E. Hagin was a unique Prophet of Jesus. He was very high and had a high measure of the spirit of Jesus. It is not easy to break Christ (Christos). Christ is a Priest; He is the Priest in the Holy place. When you touch Him, you touch the subject of the power of God.
The message of a minister will show if He has Christ. Some things are just as a result of the presence of oil or an enablement in the spirit, just like how oil can be used to heal the sick. This does not refer to the anointing for the priest. An ointment is meant for deciphering the priestly body.
Oil will not come upon any man that is not built for oil. You cannot be like some other people because you do not have their kind. This was why Jesus could not behave like Elijah.
Luke 9:55
But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
2 Kings 2:14
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
Before a priest can be qualified for anointing, he must be dead. It is dead men that are anointed. A priest must have passed the outer court and must have died by the brazen altar. This is the first death. He must pass this before he can obey greater deaths in the Holy place, till he is conformed to Christ’s image.
Oil bears names; stones also bear names. The best stones to write on are shinny and glittering stones.
Revelation 2:17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
You must have eaten the hidden manna to qualify for the white stone. The name on this stone is the name of the hidden manna that man eats. The name and the manna are hidden. What the man will eat is a name. The food of the name in the stone is a hidden manna. This hidden manna is a hidden authority for the name. Moses was told to obey the angel because God said his name was in him; this means that he must have also had the white stone.
The hidden manna will culture in a man the ability to discover the power of the new name. The power of the new name will make a man wield the power on his head. You must be dead to have a name written upon you. The ointment is a name.
Hebrews 1:8-9
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
A God should hate wickedness. You will not be a God if you do not hate what God hates or love what He loves. What makes a God to love or hate is judgement; a God judges. He evaluates and resolves. It is only a God that knows what to hate. He does not ordinarily hate but when he does, it's because that thing is wicked. A god hates iniquity.
The volume of the book is marriage into judgement.
Hebrews 10:7
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
The will of such a man is ‘Oh God’. When you have found the will of Elohim, you will come unto a place and high resolve. You will come into a high judgement. You must know what the Most High hates.
In the old testament, God told the High Priest to not mourn the death of their loved ones because their wearing is different. Their death is different from the death of other people.
Some plants produce a precious stone called amber. Plants behave like the earth. They are witnesses. Spices grow from the ground. Oil does not represent name. It is spices that represent names in the spirit.
Psalm 45:8
All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
These spices are bitter, they are healers and kill death. They are plants of the perfect will of God. The leaves of the tree of life are meant for the healing of the nations, this means that these leaves must be really bitter. They are able to solve the issue of iniquity. They are the tool of initiating some into the ministry of everlasting life. These spices make the city of God glad.
Psalm 45:6-8
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
Everlasting life is the low grade of gladness. These spices make glad; they are also the substances that are found in the everlasting gospel. The leaves are edible; they are a testament. However, they are used for the anointing here. By reason of the status quo, the ingredients are raised into eternal ingredients. If Jesus is still being made glad by these substances, it means that these things can also qualify for eternal life.
We have not yet been anointed with the oil of gladness but we have the oil of joy. We are in the Most Holy but have not yet been rewarded. It is until we overcome that we will be anointed with a new name. The new name is not the everlasting name but the name of eternal life. The new name is not the name of the father. You must know the name of the father to know the name of your God.
The jasper and sardine stone represents spirit or oil or nature upon. The Olive trees overshadow the mercy seat. The olive oil is gotten from the olive tree. This oil in the mosty holy is for a witness.
