TOPIC: TRANSFER OF ANOINTING II

MEMORISE:

“So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.” 

Acts 19:12

READ: ACTS 19:11-12 (KJV)

11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

MESSAGE:

Another way by which the anointing can be transferred from an anointed person to someone who needs it is by convection. Just think of how car batteries are charged. Dead batteries absorb enough power to supply electricity to your car. In the same way, an anointed man or woman can pray on a handkerchief or oil, send it to the place where the anointing is needed, and miracles would begin to happen through that medium. This is because it has become charged with anointing. In our Bible reading today, we see a very good example of the transfer of anointing by convection. Handkerchiefs or aprons that had contacted anointing from the body of Paul were used to heal many sick people and to drive out evil spirits.

I remember the first time I transferred anointing by convection. I had just returned from a journey overseas and was tired. One of my daughters came to me asking that I come and pray for her grandmother, who had just been operated on, but because of old age, the wound refused to heal. I was too tired to go with her to the hospital, so I prayed on a handkerchief and gave it to her to lay it on her grandmother. She did as I said and by the following day, not only was the grandmother healed, the doctors could not even find the scar from the surgery. The handkerchief transferred the power of healing. You must note, however that this is a higher form of transfer of anointing than conduction.

If you have just been newly anointed, you may need to spend quality time praying on the medium through which you want to transfer the anointing. As you grow in the anointing, you would get to the point where you can just pray a simple prayer on the medium and it would become anointed. You can reach the point where the medium becomes charged just by touching it. In Acts 19:11-12, the Bible did not say that Apostle Paul prayed on the handkerchiefs and aprons; he only touched them while using them and they became charged, but that was when he had gotten to the point where God was doing special miracles by his hands.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, anoint me so powerfully that anything I touch would also become anointed.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 CORINTHIANS 5-9

AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMNAL:  25 - THE GREAT PHYSICIAN NOW IS NEAR

1. The great Physician now is near,

The sympathising Jesus;

He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus.

REFRAIN: 

Sweetest note in seraph song,

Sweetest name on mortal tongue;

Sweetest carol ever sung,

Jesus, blessed Jesus. 

2. Your many sins are all forgiven,

Oh, hear the voice of Jesus;

Go on your way in peace to heaven,

And wear a crown with Jesus.

3. All glory to the risen Lamb!

I now believe in Jesus;

I love the blessed Saviour's name,

I love the name of Jesus.

4. His name dispels my guilt and fear,

No other name but Jesus;

Oh! how my soul delights to hear

The charming name of Jesus.

LETS PRAY 🙏

 Psalms 89:1 (KJV)  I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. May the Lord by His mercy perform a miracle in your life that will give you a voice to sing of the mercy of the Lord and to declare His faithfulness in Jesus mighty name.

DATE: WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 29TH, 2023.

TOPIC: TRANSFER OF ANOINTING 1

MEMORISE:

“And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.” 

Deuteronomy 34:9

READ: NUMBERS 27:18-23 (KJV)

18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

19 And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

20 And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

21 And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.

22 And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

23 And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

MESSAGE:

Anointing, just like electricity, obeys certain natural laws and can be transferred by way of conduction.

Transfer of anointing by conduction is when the anointed fellow has physical contact with the person who needs the anointing. This can be through a handshake or laying on of hands. For example, in Acts 3:1-8, the lame man at the Beautiful Gate didn't walk until Peter grabbed him. The anointing flowed through Peter's hands into the lame man. Jesus Christ said in Mark 16:18: "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover". Jesus was saying that when we lay hands on the sick, the anointing in us will be transferred to them and the sickness will be gone. Sometimes, it may even be unintentional. For instance, the moment you step on a naked wire, knowingly or unknowingly, the electricity running through it will run through you too. Similarly sometimes, anointing can be transferred by conduction without both parties even trying to initiate the transfer. For example, in (2 Kings 13:20-21), when the dead man's body accidentally fell into the grave of Elisha, the fellow came back to life.

A few years ago, I was abroad and decided to go shopping in a bookshop. A man came into the bookshop and made a joke about the large number of books I was buying. He stretched his hand to shake me and I shook his hand without trying to transfer anointing to him. Suddenly he shouted, "Who are you?" because the back pain he had been suffering from for many years suddenly disappeared as I shook his hand. That is transfer of anointing by conduction. Beloved, whenever you have the opportunity to shake hands with an anointed fellow or have them lay hands on you, don't take it for granted. Your life can change just by that simple contact. This is not to say you should go around trying to touch every man or woman of God you see by force; be respectful and decent about it because the same anointing that heals can kill also, if grieved.

KEY POINT:

Never take for granted a handshake or laying on of hands by an anointed vessel of God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 CORINTHIANS 1-4

AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMNAL:  15 - PASS ME NOT, O GENTLE SAVIOUR

1. Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

REFRAIN: 

Saviour, Saviour,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,

Do not pass me by. 

2. Let me, at Thy throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.

3. Trusting only in Thy merit

Would I seek Thy face

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by Thy grace.

4. Thou, the spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me.

Whom have I on earth beside Thee?

Whom in heav'n but Thee?

Open Heavens Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 

DATE: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28TH, 2023.

TOPIC: THE KEY TO DIVINE POWER

MEMORISE:

“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” 

Galatians 5:25

READ: ACTS 2:1-4 (KJV)

1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

MESSAGE:

The power of God does not come cheap. I remember asking God to give me power to work miracles and He answered, "Start where Jesus started". I was excited, thinking I would repeat Jesus' first miracle, until the Lord pointed Matthew 4:2 out to me – where Jesus started with forty days of fasting and prayers. If you want power from God Almighty, you must be ready to conquer your flesh. When you are ruled by the Spirit, not the flesh, then God can trust you with power. If you can get addicted to fasting, prayer, studying the Bible and holiness, then you are a candidate that God can consider for the possession of divine power. When I talk about holiness and living above sin as one of my major secrets of power, some people think I am only being legalistic, but when you read Hebrews 1:9, you will see that you must love righteousness and hate iniquity for God to anoint you.

Apostle Paul said in (1 Corinthians 9:27) that he put his body under subjection. He said also that he fasted often (2 Corinthians 11:27). What was the result of all these? Acts 19:11-12 says that when demons saw his handkerchiefs, they ran; that is power. When I am fasting and emphasising holiness everyday, I know what I am doing. I am seeing the results in my life so I will not stop. Several years ago, the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International invited me to preach on 'The New Anointing'. By the time I had finished speaking, I had to sneak away into the car because everybody wanted to touch me. There was a man running after me with a handkerchief in his hand. Fortunately, he was able to reach the car and he rubbed his handkerchief on it before I drove off. Back at home, there was a little girl who was so demon-possessed that it took six men to hold her down. He arrived on the scene, touched the girl with the handkerchief and she became normal again.

If you want this type of power, you must be willing to pay the price. You must learn to put your flesh under subjection, and God will give you power to do great things for Him.

KEY POINT:

You must start minding spiritual things above physical ones if you want the power of God in your life.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: ROMANS 15-16

AUTHOR PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 

HYMNAL:  16 - PRAISE HIM! PRAISE HIM! JESUS OUR BLESSED REDEEMER!

1. Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

Sing, O earth, His wonderful love proclaim!

Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory,

Strength and honour give to His Holy Name!

Like a Shepherd, Jesus will guard His children,

In His arms He carries them all day long.

O ye saints that dwell on the mountain of Zion.

Praise Him! Praise Him!

Ever in joyful song!

2. Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer!

For our sins He suffered and bled and died;

He, our rock, our hope of eternal salvation,

Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the Crucified!

Loving Saviour, meekly enduring sorrow,

Crowned with thorns that cruelly pierced His brow;

Once for us rejected, despised and forsaken.

Prince of Glory, ever triumphant now.

3. Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus our blessed Redeemer!

Heav'nly portals loud with Hosannas ring!

Jesus, Saviour, reigneth for ever and ever;

Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet, and Priest, and King!

Death is vanquished! Tell it with joy, ye faithful.

Where is now thy victory, boasting grave?

Jesus lives! No longer thy portals are cheerless,

Jesus live, the mighty and strong to save.
