READ: ACTS
27:1-25
Believers
who understand the power of transference of spirits know that both good and
evil can be transferred. The closeness
of a particular person to you can either bring much good or much evil
into your life. Let us examine a few examples. Portiphar was blessed for
Joseph’s sake. Unfortunately, Joseph was thrown into prison. From that day,
Portiphar’s star never shown again. The sun of his life set. Nothing was ever
heard of his name again. It is my prayer that God should touch all those who
will bring blessings into your life, wherever they may be, in Jesus’ name.
According to our text, Paul was travelling in a ship and there was a great
storm. God told Paul that nobody would die in the ship for Paul’s sake. In
other words, Paul brought blessings into a ship, which was the other way round
in Jonah’s case. If you are born-again, there is possibility that you also have
brought blessings into your family. The word of God is real. In Deuteronomy
34:9, the Bible says; “Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the
spirit of wisdom, for Moses laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel
heeded him, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.” Joshua was full
of the spirit of wisdom because the blessed hands of Moses had been laid on his
head. I have always advised my children, especially the women, to be careful of
who is their hairdresser. If a witch should ever play with your hair, God have
mercy on you. You have to be careful about who touches your head. Some people
approach just any pastor to lay his hand on their head. Sometime ago, someone
who called himself an evangelist came to me and said he wanted to lay hands on
me and pray for me so that my anointing would increase. I refused his hands but
I allowed him to pray. Some months later, I received a letter from him in which
he apologised and confessed that he was sent by the devil. What would have
happened if he had laid hands on me? Your guess is as good as mine. Allow only
true children of God to lay hands on you. You will know a true child of God by
his or her fruits. Don’t even allow any negative anointing to flow into your
life.
MEMORIZE:
DEUTERONOMY 34:9 –Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom,
for Moses laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did
as the LORD had commanded Moses.
