The place of anointing oil in Christian ministry has taken on new meanings and significance, albeit the traditional views. The anointing oil is being used for exorcism, as a repellant against evil powers, an aid of socioeconomic well-being and the like.

Therefore, any Christian who shares the worldview of the author can blend prayer of faith and any prescribed medicine to help in a healing process.

Based on structure and content, it is argued that Gen 15 and 17 constitute a single covenant, and that each chapter focuses on one side of the covenant promise. In other words, chap. 15 focuses on the promise of the land, whereas chap. 17 concentrates on the posterity element of the covenant.
