The holy anointing oil and olive oil are used by many Christians because they believe anointing oil has power. Masiixiyiintu waxay saliidda u isticmaalaan dhowr arrimood, Tusaale ahaan, to consecrate someone into an office (wasaarad), guryaha quduus ka dhig, dhismayaal, iyo walxaha, to heal the sick, tuur jinniyada, or for spiritual warfare. But is using anointing oil Biblical and is it part of the New Covenant or is this a custom that was practiced in the Old Covenant, which Christians adopted and applied to the New Covenant? What is the power and purpose of anointing oil in the Bible and how do you use it according to the Bible? Let’s look at what the Bible says about anointing oil and look at the lives of Jesus and the apostles and see if they used anointing oil.
The use and purpose of the holy anointing oil in the Old Covenant
Baxniintii 30, Waxaynu akhrinaynaa halabuurka iyo ujeedada saliidda subkidda quduuska ah. Muuse wuxuu Ilaahay ku amray inuu diyaariyo saliidda lagu subkado oo quduuska ah iyo inuu subko taambuugga shirka, iyo sanduuqii maragga, iyo miiska iyo weelashiisa oo dhan, iyo laambadda iyo weelashiisii, iyo meesha allabariga fooxa, iyo meesha allabariga lagu gubo iyo weelasheeda oo dhan, iyo berked iyo cagtiisa.
Muusena wuxuu lahaa inuu iyaga quduus ka dhigo si ay ugu wada quduusan yihiin. Whatsoever touched them would be holy (si kastaba ha ahaatee qof aan la ogolayn ayaa loo diiday inuu taabto. (Sidoo kale akhri: Sababta uu Uzza u dhintay).
Muuse sidoo kale waa inuu u subag Haaruun iyo wiilashiisa oo quduus ka dhig, si ay Rabbiga ugu adeegaan hawsha wadaadnimada. The holy anointing oil was used throughout generations.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, God specifically commanded that this holy anointing oil could not be used to pour upon man’s flesh.
Midna lama ogola in la sameeyo mid la mid ah, ka dib markii ay ka kooban tahay, because it was holy. Sidaa darteed. it would be holy unto them.
Haddii qof uu isku darayo mid la mid ah, or put the anointing oil upon a stranger (qof aan la ogolayn), dadkiisa wuu ka go'i lahaa (Baxniintii 30:22-33).
Tani waxay noo sheegaysaa, in saliidda lagu subkado quduuska ah loo oggolaaday in loo isticmaalo adeegidda quduuska ah ee Rabbiga iyo in lagu subko (daahirin) ah (sare ah)wadaad(s), taambuugga, iyo agabka iyo walxaha, kuwaas oo loo adeegsan jiray adeegidda Rabbiga.
Saliidda quduuska ah oo lagu subkado lama ogola in lagu subko jidhka qofka (shisheeye) waxaana la mamnuucay in la soo koobo saliidda subkidda.
Why did people make a trade of the holy anointing oil?
Hadday kuwani yihiin hadalkii Eebbe, then why have people made a trade of the holy anointing oil and sell them to make a profit?
There a people that make a holy anointing oil after the composition that is written in the Bible and pretend that this oil has supernatural (bogsashada) awoodaha.
Masiixiyiin badan ayaa ku dhaca dabinka beentan. Way rumaysteen erayadan dadka, oo waxay iibsadeen saliid lagu subkado, believing that the oil has power
They believe and buy this holy anointing oil, only because they are ignorant of the truth. Many Christians don’t read and study the Bible themselves but blindly believe everything that is preached by people.
And so they buy the oil and anoint everything and everyone, yaa u soo baxa. Because they believe that the oil has supernatural (bogsashada) awoodaha. They believe that by using this miraculous oil they unleash special powers that will heal the sick, deliver people from demonic oppression, oo guryaha nadiifiya, dhismayaal, iyo walxo ka yimid awoodaha jinniga.
All because of caqiido been ah, waxay aaminsan yihiin in marka ay shay ama qof subkayan saliid, Shayaadiintu way carari doonaan.
Ciise miyuu isticmaalay saliid subkidda?
Marka aynu eegno Ciise Masiix, Yaa ahaa Curadka abuurka cusub, iyo Noloshiisii Dhulka, we don’t read anything about Jesus walking around with a vial or bottle of anointing oil.
Ciise ma saliid subkidda ayuu dadka ku subkay, walxaha, guryaha, iyo dhismayaal? Maya. Ciise wuxuu ku yimid magaca Aabbihiis: oo ku jira amarka Aabbihiis oo ku hadlay erayadiisii. Every word that proceeded out of Jesus’ af baa soo baxay.
Did Jesus anoint His disciples with oil before Jesus sent them forth two by two? Maya, Ciise wuxuu xertiisii siiyey amar iyo amar ay jinniyo wasakh leh ku xukumaan oo ay kuwa buka ku bogsiiyaan (kuwa daciifka ah).
Ciise wuxuu u diray inay ku wacdiyaan oo u keenaan Boqortooyada Ilaah dadka Ilaah oo uu ugu yeedho inay toobad keenaan. Ma akhrino, that Jesus commanded His disciples to take a vial or bottle of oil with them to anoint houses or people (Matthew 10:1-15, Calaamadee 6:7-13, Luukos 9:1-6).
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, inkastoo Ciise uusan waxba ka sheegin saliidda subkidda ama subkidda kuwa buka saliidda, Waxaan injiilka Markos ku akhrinay in xertii ay subkay dad badan oo buka (daciifnimo) saliid leh, oo uu bogsiiyey iyaga.
Sababta ay u caddahay inay kuwa buka saliid ugu subkay, waxaa sabab u ahaa in subkidda saliiddu ay ahayd caado joogta ah oo laga sameeyay dhaqamo badan. Wadamada sida Masar, Shiinaha, Hindiya, Giriiga, Talyaaniguna waxay caado u ahayd in qof la subko ama la xumeeyo, yaa bukay, saliid leh.
Sida xaqiiqda ah, waxaynu ka akhrinay caadadan masaalka reer Samaariya. Markii uu reer Samaariya u tagay ninkii dhaawaca ahaa, nabaradii buu xidhay, saliid iyo khamri lagu shubo (Luukos 10:30-35). Saliid saytuunka waxa loo isticmaali jiray caado caafimaad ahaan.
Si kasta, Ciise gurina ma subkin, dhismayaal, walxaha, ama dadka saliidda leh. Ciise kuwa buka saliid kuma subkin, Ciisena xertiisii kuma amrin inay sidaas sameeyaan.
Komishanka weyn iyo saliidda subkidda
Before Jesus ascended to heaven and took His place on the throne at the right hand of the Father, Ciise amarkii weynaa ayuu xertiisii siiyey. This commission wasn’t only meant for the disciples that were present, but for all the disciples of Jesus that would come after them and raac Ciise. Jesus commanded all believers to go.
Markii Ciise la hadlay xertiisii, Ciise ma uusan sheegin saliidda subkidda ama subkidda qof ama wax saliid ah.
Ciise kuma amrin xertiisii inay qof saliid mariyaan si ay xafiis u geliyaan (wasaarad) iyo in la daahiriyo ama la daahiriyo qofka. Sidoo kale Ciise ma amrin in la subko guryo ama dhismayaal ama in qof la subko, yaa bukay ama daciif ahaa, saliid leh.
Ciise wuxuu xertiisii ku amray inay gacmaha qabtaan kuwa buka si ay u bogsadaan (Calaamadee 16:18)
rasuulladii iyo saliiddii subkidda ee axdiga cusub
Although Peter was one of the twelve disciples that was sent by Jesus on a mission and apparently anointed the sick (jilicsan, daciifnimo) saliid leh, when Peter became a new creation full of the Holy Spirit, we don’t read anywhere that Peter anointed people that were sick or weak with oil.
The first healing that took place after Jesus ascended to heaven and after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, waxay ahayd bogsiintii ninkii curyaanka ahaa, oo macbudka iriddiisa dhigan jiray.
When Peter and John went to the temple, and a lame man asked them for alms, Butros ma soo qabsan dhaladiisa saliidda si uu u subko.
Maya, ninkii waxaa bogsiiyey Butros rumaysadka magaca Ciise.
Butros waxa uu rumaysnaa shaqada qumman ee madax furashada iyo awoodda Ciise Masiix (Falimaha Rasuullada 3:16).
Markii Butros uu Ludda joogay, saliid ma uu isticmaalin inuu subko kuwa buka, laakiin wuu bogsiiyey Eyaas, oo curyaan ka bukay, xagga rumaysadka magaca Ciise (Falimaha Rasuullada 9:34).
Butros sidaas oo kale ayuu ku sameeyey Yaafaa, Meesha Tabitha kuwii dhintay lagaga soo sara kacay rumaysadka magaca Ciise (Xeer 9:40-41).
Did Paul and the other apostles use oil to anoint the sick, guryaha, dhismayaal, ama walxo?
Paul and the other apostles didn’t use oil either to anoint people that were sick or weak, guryaha, dhismayaal, ama walxo.
Markii Bawlos warqadahaas oo dhan u qoray kiniisadaha, waxba ma akhrino oo ku saabsan amriyaasha awliyada inay subkadaan odayaasha, caawiyayaasha, the sick or weak, guryaha, dhismayaal ama walxo saliid leh.
Xataa xataa xarfaha, which Paul wrote to the carnal church in Corinth.
The new creation is spiritual and received the Holy Spirit
Taasi waa sababta, iyada oo loo marayo dib u soo kabashada, waxay noqdeen abuur cusub, Ruuxa laga soo sara kiciyey kuwii dhintay. Sidaa darteed, kaniisadda (kiniisadda rumaystayaasha mar kale dhalatay (Abuuritaan cusub)) noqday ruuxa.
They didn’t need any natural resources or perform all kinds of visible religious rituals to make the spiritual visible to the carnal man as in the Old Covenant.
Waxay ku xidhnaayeen ruuxa xagga Ruuxa Quduuska ah iyo Ciise Masiix iyo Aabbaha. That’s why they walked just like Jesus (Curadka abuurka cusub) Amarkiisa.
The only thing they had to remember and keep was the wadaagid, whereby they remembered their Lord Jesus and were partakers of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
What about anointing the sick with oil in James 5:14-15?
James 5:14-15, we read about the practice of anointing a sick person with oil. It’s the only time in the apostolic letters that we read about the use of oil and anointing a person with oil.
Is any sick (daciifnimo) among you? Ha u yeedho waayeellada kiniisadda; oo ha u duceeyeen isaga, isaga oo saliid ugu subkay magaca Rabbiga: oo tukashada rumaysadka ayaa badbaadisa kuwa buka, oo Rabbigu waa sara kicin doonaa isaga (James 5:14-15).
.
James wrote this letter to the twelve tribes of Israel that were scattered abroad.
James commanded them to call upon the elders when someone among them was sick (daciifnimo) and to pray over that person and anoint him with oil in the Name of the Lord.
Si kastaba ha ahaatee, although this practice of anointing the sick with oil was done by the elders, the anointing oil didn’t have supernatural power.
The anointing oil and the practice of anointing the sick with oil had nothing to do with healing. Sababtoo ah aayadda xigta, waa qorantahay, in tukashada iimaanku qofka badbaadiso oo bogsiiso.
Si kale haddii loo dhigo, by faith in the Name of Jesus and by believing in His perfect work of salvation (that He was scourged at the whipping post and took all infirmities and diseases upon Him and carried all the sins and iniquity of the world on the cross, oo dhintay iyo galay Haadees, where He conquered death and rose from the dead as Overcomer, Kaasoo leh wax kasta oo amar ah oo ku sugan samooyinka iyo dhulka), qofka waa la badbaadiyay oo bogsaday. (ku. Ishacyaah 53:4-5, 1 Butros 2:24, Muujintii 1:18).
Do Christians have more faith in oil than in the Name of Jesus?
Baybalku wuxuu leeyahay, inaynu noqonno sida Rabbigeenna ah Rabbigeenna Ciise Masiix (Matthew 10:25, Efesos 4:15). Haddii Ciise uusan isticmaalin saliid subkidda, waa in aan si dhab ah isu weydiino bal inaynu isticmaalno saliidda subkida.
Waa arin murugo leh, in qaar badan oo Masiixiyiin ah ay aaminsan yihiin saliidda oo ay u arkaan dawo ka badan magaca Ciise.
If Christians would wake up and become aware of Who lives inside of them, and what position and power (xukun) they have received in Jesus Christ, markaas dib uma ay taaban saliid.
Rumaysadku waa inuusan ku jirin saliidda, laakiin waa inuu ku jiraa Ciise Masiix iyo magaciisa. Kaliya rumaysadka magaca Ciise iyo shuqullada rumaysadkaas laga helo, buuraha guuri doona.
If Christians believe that the oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit and that the Holy Spirit dwells inside of them, hadaba maxay saliid ugu baahan yihiin?
