Anointing Oil

According to Websters Dictionary, to anoint means to "rub oil or ointment on," "to put oil on in a ceremony of consecration." So, to anoint something or someone is to apply something, in this case oil, to an object.

• Maybe you have been anointed with oil in a prayer service, or when someone has prayed over you for healing.
• Maybe youve even done the anointing.
• Then again, perhaps the idea of anointing with oil is foreign to you.
• Whatever the case, anointing is found all over the Bible.
