Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
Someone has said that imitation is the sincerest form of a compliment. Whether that is true off not, I do know that the devil likes to imitate God. I also know that God does not consider it a compliment (nor does Satan mean it as such).
Those things that belong to God ought to be left strictly to God. In this case, it was the anointing oil. Almost anyone at the time could have made a perfume that smelled like it. Everyone else could have just read the recipe from the pages of the Bible. God said anyone doing so ought to be cut off from the people.
God does not want imitations of the real. But Satan leads people to imitate the things of God in all sorts of ways
- Imitation Bibles
- Imitation churches
- Imitation doctrines
- Imitation preachers with
- Imitation anointing
These things are not only to be discouraged and avoided, but they are also to be identified and cut off from that which is real.
