Good Morning Sunshine! Don’t Spill the Oil, Protect What You God Gave You!

Ephesians 5:15–16 (KJV) ~ “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”

God says in this hour, “Be watchful with your oil. You have paid a price for what you carry, and this is not the hour to waste it. Guard your oil from the hands of the unprepared and the careless. This anointing cost you crushing. This glory cost you grief. This oil was produced in the furnace of faith. Do not let the enemy trick you into pouring what is precious into places that cannot honor or contain it. I have trusted you with oil. Now I am teaching you how to protect it.”

Oil is expensive in the Spirit. It doesn’t come cheap. It comes through pressing, patience, and perseverance. You don’t just wake up anointed, you walk through fire to get there. And once you have been through the crushing, once you’ve been refined in the furnace of affliction and tested in the midnight hours of intercession, you begin to understand: This oil must be protected.

Ephesians 5:15-16 warns us to walk circumspectly, wisely, carefully, intentionally, because the days are evil. In other words, don’t walk like someone who forgot what they’ve been through. Don’t live casually when your oil came at a cost. You must steward the anointing with reverence. The moment you forget how expensive your oil is, you risk spilling it in places where it won’t be valued or worse, it will be exploited.

There are people, places, and platforms that look good but aren’t ready for what you carry. They’ll draw from your well without ever replenishing you. They’ll admire your gift but trample on your consecration. If the enemy can’t stop your oil from flowing, he’ll try to distract you into pouring it into drains instead of destinies.

This is the hour to discern who your oil is for. Like the wise virgins in Matthew 25, you must be willing to say, “I’m sorry, but I can’t share what you weren’t prepared to carry.” This doesn’t make you prideful, it makes you protective. Jesus Himself didn’t entrust Himself to every crowd. He poured intentionally. He withdrew when necessary. He guarded His assignment. So must you. Your Oil has memory, but it also has value. Protecting your oil means saying no to distractions, guarding your peace, staying rooted in truth, and refusing to compromise just to be accepted. It means remembering that your oil is not for popularity, it’s for purpose. Not for attention, but for the assignment.

You didn’t go through all that fire to be careless with what came from it. You may have poured into people who never poured back. You may have been mishandled in past seasons. But now, God is giving you wisdom. You are not empty, you’re evolving. And your oil must be stewarded, not spilled. It’s time to ask God, “Where is this oil supposed to flow?” Because when the oil is honored, Heaven shows up. When it is wasted, even what was precious begins to lose power. Let this be the season where you walk as someone who knows what it took to flow. Because the cost was great. And the glory it carries now must be handled with holy care.

You have to declare this over your life, that you will no longer waste your oil. You will pour with purpose, walk in wisdom, and live in alignment with your assignment. You will not be manipulated by need or moved by pressure. You guard your anointing with reverence. You am not arrogant, you am accountable. What God placed in you will be protected by any means necessary. You refuse to spill what you paid for with tears, trials, and total surrender.

Let’s Pray,
Father, Thank You for trusting me with the oil that only fire could produce. Thank You for staying with me in the crushing and now walking with me in the flow. I acknowledge that this anointing was not cheap. It came through suffering, sacrifice, surrender, and scars. And I ask You today, teach me how to guard what You gave me. God, I repent for the times I poured carelessly. For the times I gave too freely to places You never assigned me to. For the moments I tried to gain affirmation by releasing what was only meant for consecration. Heal every part of me that tried to earn worth by overextending. Show me how to walk circumspectly, wisely, cautiously, spiritually aware of the weight of what I carry. God give me discernment to know where to pour and where to pause. Teach me how to withdraw when necessary. Help me recognize counterfeit opportunities disguised as doors. And when the pressure to perform rises, anchor me in purpose. Let me not spill what was meant to be sacred. Let me not give access to what was meant to be protected. Remind me daily that my oil has a destination. It is not for crowds, it is for calling. It is not for applause, it is for assignment. Let every drop that flows from me carry the weight of wisdom and the mark of maturity. I choose today to stop pouring into drains, distractions, and dysfunction. God I choose to pour where You say pour. And when You say rest, I will rest. Father, I ask that You surround me with people who honor the oil, those who don’t just pull on the gift but pray for the vessel. Send intercessors, not just opportunists. Send covenant, not consumers. Send alignment, not attachment. And give me boldness to walk away from anything that diminishes the value of Your glory on my life. Father, Thank You for Grace to start again, not from depletion, but from divine protection. I cover this oil. I consecrate this oil. I will no longer let my history cause me to compromise my flow. What You’ve done in me is worth guarding. And what You’re about to do through me will require this fresh oil to be preserved. Seal it, Lord. Sanctify it. Secure it. In the Powerful Name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen!
Blessings…
