Leviticus 8:1-9:24
Aaron was anointed with “the anointing oil”, set apart or “dedicated”
to the Lord for “holy duties” (Leviticus 8:12,30). Anointed by the Lord
and dedicated to Him, “Aaron and his sons did everything the Lord
commanded, through Moses” (Leviticus 8:36). Concerning the Lord’s
commands, “Moses said, ‘The Lord has commanded you to offer these
sacrifices so that you may see the Lord’s glory'” (Leviticus 9:6).
Together with Moses, Aaron was obedient to God, bringing the blessing of
God to the people – “Then the Lord’s glory appeared to all the people”
(Leviticus 9:23). The principles of God’s blessing are still the same.
We need the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He calls us to obedience. This
is the way of receiving God’s blessing. This is the way in which the
glory of God comes down upon the people of God. We receive God’s
blessing when the Holy Spirit comes down upon us in His mighty power.
