#EaglesDevotional - BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD


“And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.” (Zachariah 4:3)

The nation of Israel were faced with opposition from enemies within and outside, this was a period for the people of Israel when they were building the temple of the Lord, at this time an angel of the Lord  appeared to Zachariah and woke him up then he asked him what he saw, Zachariah saw a vision. He saw a candle stick made of gold and it had seven branches with a lamp at the end of it and a bowl on top of it and he also saw that there was two olive trees at the sides of the bowl there were seven pipes. From what he saw, the olive tree was constantly producing oil to the bowl and the bowl was constantly supplying light to the lamp and as a result there was constant light.

The scripture alighted that Zachariah was surprised at what he saw. In the normal temple setting there was a candle stick, a lamp with seven branches and a bowl but what surprised him was the two olive trees at the sides of the bowl, it was unusual. It shouldn't have been there. In those days, it was the duty of the priest to go and squeeze oil from the olive trees; which means it was the priest responsibility to constantly supply oil in the bowl. Therefore, anytime the priest forgets to do his duty, it means there would be no oil, and when there is no oil the light would go off. Another unusual thing is that the pipes he saw supplied oil from the olive trees whether the priest was around or not, the bowl will be supplied with oil and as such there will be constant light.

The anointing and power of the Holy Ghost in this recent time and season in the body of Christ will not depend on any man it will flow from the source which is God and the gates of hell will not prevail against it, if you and I refuse to serve the Lord he will raise up stones in our place, this means that nothing can stop the oil from flowing. The availability of God’s oil is sure, it will never dry up; God can do without you and I, it’s a fact that cannot be disputed, so you better find your place and let him use you today. He will only use those that are available and willing.

Prayer/Confession: Lord have mercy on me let your oil never run dry in my life, use me for your service, show me the way you want me to go. I give myself to you; take control over me in the name of Jesus.

Further Reading: Psalm 92:10; 45:7


Words of Wisdom: If God is your source, you will never run dry.
