Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers
are fed. The golden oil represents the Holy Spirit. With this oil
God’s ministers are to be constantly supplied, that they, in turn, may
impart it to church. “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts.” God’s servants can obtain victories only by
inward purity, by cleanness of heart, by holiness. It is of the utmost
importance that ministers set a right example. If they follow lax,
loose principles, their example is quoted by those who are doing
wrong as a vindication of their course. The whole synagogue of
Satan is watching for defects in the lives of God’s representatives,
and the most is made of every defect.—
