TRANSFER OF ANOINTING I

Tuesday July 21^st, 2026

« Now Joshua the son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the sons of Israel listened to him and did as the LORD commanded Moses »

Read Numbers 27:18-23^NKJV

¹⁸And the Lord said to Moses: “Take Joshua the son of Nun with you, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand on him;

¹⁹set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and inaugurate him in their sight.

²⁰And you shall give some of your authority to him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

²¹He shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire before the Lord for him by the judgment of the Urim. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, he and all the children of Israel with him—all the congregation.”

²²So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.

²³And he laid his hands on him and inaugurated him, just as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.

Understand

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 individual 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^GNT

« If they pick up snakes or drink any poison, they will not be harmed; they will place their hands on sick people, and these will get well.” »

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 individual 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
