Constant Burning of the Oil
The oil was to "cause the lamp to burn always." This was to be a constant burning It was not enough for the lamp to burn brightly one day and be quenched the next. God was so concerned in Samuel's day that "ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord...the Lord called Samuel" (1 Sam 3:3-4). Another admonition of God for us is to "quench not the Spirit" (1 Thess. 5:19). Any urge, yearning, or desire we may ever have for spiritual things, God put it there and wants us to respond and not to quench the Holy Spirit.
Remember, we studied and found there were over 60 ministries of the Holy Spirit to and through believers. No wonder there is so much emphasis on the Lampstand and oil in the tabernacle.
Remember, "It is God which worketh in you both to will (desire) and to do of His good pleasure (Phil. 2:13). What a sacred thing that God should give us even one desire to please Him! The reason people don't read the Word or pray or witness is that they don't want to. If there is one desire in your heart to please God, be assured that He put it there; and God help us if we "quench Spirit" who gives that desire.
"I would rather bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all the mysteries of the divine Word, for salvation is the one thing we are to live for." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
