The Supernaturals 12


Hello everyone, I welcome you again to another edition of this series. We have dealt with Seeing and Knowing yesterday. We have the MIND OF CHRIST. We can reason and know things supernaturally. The Holy Spirit is The Knower and dwell on our inside. We cannot be confused, we always know what to do. We know which way to go. We are led by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah!
Today, I want to talk about
                     MIRACLES
Miracles are supernatural acts of God that make natural laws most times to be suspended.
Miracles are majorly the demonstration of the Dunamis Power of God. That's why they are called ACTS OF POWERS. In the Bible, there are different types of miracles that were performed by God and his people. The constraints of time and space will afford me the luxury of mentioning them one after the other. However, I am going to give a rough category of miracles as recorded in the Bible and some examples:
A. The miracle of creation and recreation. Gen. 1, John 1:1, Is. 45:18, Jer. 4:23-30, Eze 37
I hope you know that we are living in a recreated earth? If you don't know, go read up my post on the Easter Broadcast 1-3 cya-nigeria.blogspot.com.ng.
In both the created and recreated earth, the power of God was mightily demonstrated. Also, we see creation in the valley of Dry Bones.

B. Power over Nature.
 It is making any part of the elements of nature to align with God's will. After all, He created them. Col. 1:16
They include:
1. Jesus turning water into wine. John 2. Many people nowadays including myself have prayed on water to become Kerosene and it did.
2. Jesus multiplying loaves of bread and fishes. I have many examples of this miracles nowadays.
3. Jesus calming the sea. Luke 8:22-24
4. Jesus making water molecule to freeze and conducive for walking. Mt. 14:22-33
5. Joshua commanding the sun and moon to stand still.
6. Isaiah telling the sun to go back Ten Degrees
7. Jonah and the fish
8. Jesus and the fish with coin
9. Jesus telling fishes to enter Peter's net. Job  21:6
10. Jesus cursing the fruitless Fig Tree. Mt. 21:19
11. Elijah and Elisha parting the River Jordan.
12. All the plagues and miracles that Moses wrought in getting the Israelites to Canaan.
13. The wall of Jericho that the Heavenly host marched into the ground. Listen, that wall was a CUBOID. Even if it fell down, it would still be as tall as it used to be. The angelic host that their captain appeared to Joshua were responsible for marching it to the ground.
14. The Four Hebrew Men and the Fiery Furnace and so on.

C. Power over humans body.
God's power can be directed at the humans body to create, replace missing parts or to restore it to normalcy.
1. Leprosy disappeared. Mt. 8:3
2. Dumbness and deafness dealt with. Mt. 12:22
3. All forms of paralysis dealt with. Mt. 11:5
4. Blind eyes open.
5. Virgin Mary conceived, Sarah bore a child at old age.
6. The soldier's ear that was caught off by Peter when Jesus was arrested.

There is also the dimension of creative miracles. This is where missing body parts are supplied. John 9 is a good example. Hands and legs can grow out now. Short people can become tall suddenly, fat people can suddenly lose weight, Genotype can change suddenly and other missing internal organs can be replaced. These and many more are the possibility now.

D. Power over devils. We have dealt with this in this series before.

E. Power over death, Hell and the grave. We have also dealt with this kind of miracle before in this series.
"Without the resurrection of Jesus, Gethsemane would have heard only the piteous wail of a soul in despair and Calvary's cross would have been but a death stake for a martyr of a lost cause and would not have been retained in the memories of men. He conquered death when administered to his own body" (NOTE: The above sentences in quotation marks are taken from Ben F. Taylor, "Miracles" in Truth in Love, July, 1955).

PURPOSE OF MIRACLES
Miracles are not performed for the fun of it. The lack of understanding of this has caused many catastrophes in the body of Christ. Many have stepped out  to do miracles in order to swell their egos or to test powers. Their inability to get result has made some to discredit the existence of miracles. Many years ago, a White Garment Prophet entered into the Zoo in Ibadan without the permission of the authority to test power on the lion. That one tore him to pieces. I once heard of an Evangelist that was enroute to a village for Crusade who met a river on his path. The villagers that paddle the canoe had closed for the day. He just remembered how Elijah removed his mantle and smote the water and it parted. He removed his Agbada- a native Yoruba attire, smote the water and it parted. Thank God. The eye witnesses were just himself and one villager. After the entire Crusade, many people saw him off to the bank of this river. He wanted to remove his Agbada and show them stunt. The Holy Spirit told him to enter the Canoe and go with it. Miracles are majorly to bring GLORY TO GOD AND TO DEMONSTRATE HIS LOVE AND COMPASSION TO MAN.
NOTE:
God is not moved by our needs and He is not under any obligation to always meet them. God's miraculous power will show up when our needs synchronize with His Will. Hannah is a good example. What I am saying is this, there may be a blind person that may not get well if opening his/her eyes will bear no Kingdom relevance. May God give understanding.
Tomorrow, I will continue in this series.
I am using this opportunity to invite all of you from everywhere to the program 'EVENING OF SUPERNATURALS' holding THIS COMING Sunday 16th of July, 2017 by 2:00pm @ Glory Baptist Church Wakajaye off Iyana Church, Iwo Road, Ibadan. Myself and some other ministers will be ministering. God bless you as you come.

Prayer of Enquiry

PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
