We are the lamps that are to be filled with oil.
Wise people make sure the lamp of the body is always filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit and prepared to meet the Lord at his return. Those who are not prepared are turned away. It's too late to become prepared then.
Guess I gotta repeat THIS:
Dude, WE are the vessels!
2 Timothy 2:21 New King James Version (NKJV)
21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a
VESSEL for honor, [
a]sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
2 Corinthians 4:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
Cast Down but Unconquered
7 But we have this treasure in earthen
VESSELS that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
1 Peter 3:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
A Word to Husbands
7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with
them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker
VESSEL, and as
being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
The Holy Spirit is indeed represented by the oil. Once a person is born again, He inhabits, and SEALS, the Child of God. AND this "OIL" NEVER runs out!
2 Kings 4-6 New International Version (NIV)
The Widow’s Olive Oil
4 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”
2 Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?”
“Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”
3 Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. 4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”
5 She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”
But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
