EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) November 10, 2025 TOUCH NOT THE OIL REV. AROME E. TOKULA Revelation 6:6 - “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not HARM THE OIL AND THE WINE." The world’s financial systems are in chaos and even the wisdom and intelligence of the brightest minds are failing. As believers we aren’t surprised because 1 Corinthians 1:20 (NLT) says, “So where does this leave the PHILOSOPHERS, the SCHOLARS, and the WORLD’S BRILLIANT DEBATERS? God has made the wisdom of this world look foolish.” Governments after governments, policies after policies and institutions after institutions have yielded no solutions because it is like what Jesus said in Matthew 15:14, “… They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” Many years ago, the Prophet Isaiah declared by the spirit, “For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people…” but there is a caveat, “… BUT the LORD will arise over you, and His GLORY WILL BE SEEN UPON YOU” (Isaiah 60:2). It is in the midst of these dark financial times of economic downturns and instability that God’s people are going to shine brightest if they will yield to God and follow His plans! In scriptures, horses are symbolic of strength, power and authorities! In the book of Revelation 6:1-8, God shows Apostle John horses that appear in four different colors as white, red, black and green (pale). These horses speak of different forces, market systems and structures and the influence that they exert over the livelihood of people! They are called market forces because there are spiritual forces that exert their influence over economies through men and institutions. In our text, we hear a decree from heaven that commands these forces saying, “…do not HARM the OIL AND THE WINE.” The oil and the wine represent the anointing! As at the time that John had this revelation, there was hyperinflation such that the price of food had increased over 10 times. The New Living Translation says, “… A LOAF of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will COST A DAY’S PAY.” Imagine working a whole day to buy just a loaf of wheat bread! The anointing of God’s Spirit is what shields God’s people from the demonic forces of hyperinflation and famines. Like never before, it is important for every believer to be fully established in the truths, principles and protocols of the anointing of God that prospers and brings increase! Beyond governments, policies and education it is important to be established in the anointing in order to stay ahead of the economy and inflation in the name of the Lord Jesus name. DECLARE The Lord of host has anointed my head with oil and I am living in victory over the forces of the economy. He has given me wine that gladdens the heart. Through the anointing I am protected and preserved from the harsh winds of inflation and famine. God has put me ahead of the economy because He has given me the oil and the wine in the name of the Lord Jesus.
