April is a Passover season in Jewish culture – it is a special month called Nissa in the Jewish Calendar. The Passover was celebrated by the children of Israel as it marked their end of bondage in the land of Egypt. The first borns’ of the Egyptians were slain on account of Pharoah’s hardened heart to release the children of Israel from the bondage.
In the new testament, 1 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV – Jesus is our Passover festival. Jesus is appointed to deliver the brethrens from the bondages. Therefore his name CHRIST, from Acts 10: 38 is not a title it is a mantle (meaning the anointing of the anointed one)
What is the mantle of the anointed one designed to do (what does the anointing carry)?
- The anointing is designed to set you apart. The oil in Bible times is combination of five components were: Olive, Cassia, Cinnamon, Myrrh and Calamus. Although it is made up of five components, Olive took centre hence, the Olive oil.
- The anointing is designed to break all confinement ~ Micah 2: 13 MSG. Those who give up never go up. The anointing moves a person beyond his personal limitation and shortcoming in order for him/ her to fulfil destiny ~ 1 Kings 1: 39 MSG; Exodus 12: 31 KJV, Jeremiah 28:2 CEV, Isaiah 45: 2 MSG.
- The anointing on Christ the anointed is designed to preserve and protect (One of olive’s characteristics is longevity – thus anointed people do not die prematurely or untimely) ~ 2 Samuel 1: 21.
