Hello everyone, I started handling the SUPERNATURALS SERIES yesterday.
The Supernatural Realm is a realm beyond Matter, Space and Time Continuum. It is a realm greater than the Physical Realm. It is the realm that gave birth to EVERYTHING; SEEN AND UNSEEN. You need to also know that there are dimensions, levels and hierarchies in that realm. I said that in this series, we are going to be considering THE GOD KIND OF SUPERNATURALS.
The God kind of Supernaturals are broadly divided into two; THE SPECTACULAR SUPERNATURALS and
THE NON SPECTACULAR SUPERNATURALS.
I will explain the two. The Spectacular Supernaturals are very conspicuous, attract more attention and more dramatic than the Non Spectacular Supernaturals. Many times, we as humans are more attracted to the Spectaculars that we can miss God. Spectacular Supernatural is when your car Summersaulted TEN TIMES and you come out unhurt. This is a Whao thing but the Non Spectacular is travelling under the same condition and nothing happened. Both are still Supernatural but, we usually look down on having a safe journey than being saved from an accident. May God help us. GOD IS A DELIVERER AND A RESCUER.
Thank God for the spectaculars and the non spectaculars. Both must be appreciated. In the course of this series, we will be exploring the two of them.
EXAMPLES OF THE SUPERNATURALS
Let me say that I may not be able to completely exhaust all the examples of the Supernaturals. But, I will try to lay some foundations for exploring the Supernaturals. Today, I will start from the one we often look down upon
THE NEW BIRTH
Many times in Crusade Ground or Outreach programs, emphasis and praises are offered to God more when there is a Cripple or Lame that is healed than a sinner that turns to Jesus. Well, many things are responsible for this. Someone giving his/her life to Christ does not look spectacular but wait a minute, is it spectacular or non spectacular?
HOW DID SALVATION BECOME A FREE GIFT FOR ALL?
I may not want to bother you with all of the details. I have done that in previous posts. We all know about the fall of man in Genesis 3 and the prophecy about the Seed of the Woman which is Jesus the Word made flesh. You see, Jesus had to die SPIRITUALLY before He could die PHYSICALLY. It was the SPIRITUALLY DEATH that Jesus dreaded that made Him to pray that prayer at Gethsemane. I hope you know that Jesus died and went to Hell as a sinner? If you don't know, study Isaiah 53 and 2 Cor. 5:21.
He was made sin; HE BECAME SIN PERSONIFIED. Sin is not just an act, it is a nature, a personality. It is what is common to all men; past, present and future. This SIN NATURE was put in Jesus and He became alienated from God; an outcast from Eden(the Presence of God) after the order of Adam. He went to Hell and all the hierarchies in the Infernal realm must have shouted for joy. Alas! The King of Glory is now their Prisoner, forever to be bound in Hell.
Prior to this time, God has not raised ANYBODY FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH TO SPIRITUAL LIFE.
What about every dead people that have been raised from the dead? What of Lazarus that was dead for Four days? Hear me:
1. Every dead person that was raised from the dead before and after Jesus were raised in lieu of the fact that God will still raise Jesus from the dead.
2. All those people were raised from the death to PHYSICAL LIFE NOT SPIRITUAL (ZOE) LIFE OF GOD. If Lazarus for example did not receive Jesus as his Lord and Saviour, he will die and still go to Hell.
Jesus is the FIRST PERSON TO MOVE FROM HELL TO HEAVEN, TO MOVE FROM SPIRITUAL DEATH(complete alienation from God) to SPIRITUAL LIFE.
God in His Almightiness has never done that before. One Preacher said one time that even the Angels couldn't place a bet on God that He could do it. Apostle Paul used a compound Greek word to describe the power (Grk: Dunamis) that God exerted in raising Jesus from Spiritual Death. The word is interpreted as EXCEEDING GREATNESS. Eph. 1:19. You see the Dunamis Power that God used in raising Jesus from the dead is greater than the power He used at Creation. Hmm, Selah! The Holy Spirit reached down to Hell and brought out someone doomed for Eternal Judgement because of Sin and raised Him up not only to the Natural Human life but, the person is treated AS THOUGH HE HAD NEVER POSSESSED THE NATURE OF THE DEVIL. Rom. 6:4. He could enter The Throne Room and stand fearlessly before the Father God with the God kind of Righteousness that only God has. Whao! This is why Jesus is THE FIRST BEGOTTEN FROM THE DEAD. Heb. 1:6. In Ephesians, Paul revealed to us by the Spirit that THE SAME EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF GOD'S POWER THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD IS THE SAME POWER DIRECTED AT A SINNER TO GET HIM/HER BORN AGAIN. Glory to God! I went through long route to tell you that THE NEW BIRTH IS A VERY SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE AND A GREAT ONE ONE AT THAT.
I breathe a sigh of relief. The next time someone gives his/life to Christ, REJOICE EXCEEDINGLY because God exerted a lot of energy to see that happen.
Tomorrow, I will talk about Healings.
Please, read and share.
