READ: ACTS
3:1-8
There are
three ways the anointing can be transferred from one person to another.
Anointing in a man’s life, like the sun, obeys certain natural laws. It can be
transferred by conduction. This is when one comes in contact physically with
someone who is anointed and desires the anointing. Through a handshake or the
laying on of hands, the anointing can be released from the anointed, for
example, into the sick and that sickness will be removed.
In our reading, the lame man, who sat at the Beautiful Gate every day, one day asked Peter and John for alms. They saw his faith to receive from them, so Peter commanded him to stand up and walk. But he didn’t until Peter grabbed him. The anointing flowed from Peter into the lame man and that yoke was broken and he rose and began to rejoice. Jesus says, “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name…they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17-18). This is possible through transferred anointing.
Another way anointing can be transferred is by conversion. This happens in the same way as taking your car battery for a recharge. It is connected to a source of power and after a while it is fully charged. An anointed man prays over a handkerchief and sends it to the point of need. Even when he cannot go, through the medium of the handkerchief, the anointing can go. This happened in Acts 19:11-12.
A third method is by radiation. Through the word of mouth of an anointed man of God, the anointing can be transferred via audio and video cassettes and books to you. In Acts 5:12-16, the sick were laid on the streets so that Peter’s passing shadow could heal them. This is the highest form of transferred anointing. God has done it for me; he can do it for you too. Whichever type of anointing you require, faith is needed. The crowd thronged Jesus and pushed him here and there without anything happening to them. But the woman with the issue of blood touched in faith and was made whole. Ask in faith today and the anointing will be yours.

MEMORIZE:
LUKE 10:19 –Behold, I give the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
