5.Particular Oil. Throughout the Bible, people learned the value of oil. Here…just a little jar of oil filled a multitude of vessels. In I Kings 17, just a cruse of oil given to God’s use turned a proposed funeral meal into a multitude of meals for Elijah, the woman and her son for 3 years.

6.Plentiful Oil: These are perilous days, difficult times, where it often seems as though we are running short This woman thought all she had was a little pot of oil, but when she poured out Daddy’s oil she had plenty.

III.VALUE YOUR ASSIGNMENT OF BEING A KEEPER OF THE OIL
A.While we don’t know this man’s role, we do know Dad’s role today of being a Keeper of the Oil. In Exodus 27:20 the priests were assigned roles as keepers of clear lamp fuel so the light in the Tabernacle “would burn continually”.

B.Once they were ready to rely on God, they were told to pour out the oil. In the same way, Jude 20 says, “Praying in the Spirit Builds Yourselves (Your Home) up on your Most Holy Faith!
