The Revelation of God by Miracles.

 Opinion news

              I will first put the term revelation what is all about, also let me say there is two words that I used when I am talking of revelation, there is what I called GENERAL REVELATION; which means that God makes himself  known through nature, human conscience, and history. there is also what I called SPECIAL REVELATION; which means that God makes himself known to specific people in a special and unusual way, and at specific times. there are various special revelations of God, such as Prophecy, Miracles, gifts of the Holy Spirit and many more but in my opinion news today I will put forward only the revelation of God by miracles.

              Genuine miracles are a special revelation of the power and presence of God, that aspect it showing also the omnipotence which is the all powerful God, however the confusion or what same people do not understand is Satan and his agents attempt to reproduce every good program and work of God. by that I will like to warn anyone that making God revelation base on miracles only is not enough, A miracle is an event of divine, and sometimes of satanic, origin that is contrary to or divergent from an existing law in nature. in brief I can say it is something beyond man ability.

              The miracles in Egypt as the Bible recorded are verify the definition which holds that the miracles may as its source of power God or Satan, Moses as God's representative and Egyptian sorcerers as Satan's representatives engaged in the same type of miracles working up to a certain point. Both threw down their rods and they turned into serpents, they did that again and again until when they tried to bring lice, the Egyptian magicians tried and failed but Moses and Aaron succeeded. this show us that in Egypt God used miracles to impose judgment upon the nation, that make us to see throughout the old testament miracles were used almost equally as acts of judgment and as acts of mercy, and on some occasions they were used as acts of judgment to the enemies of God and as acts of mercy to the people of God, therefore I will love to be in the side of mercy than judgment.

               Explaining what is meant in the definition of an event contrary to or divergent from a law in nature, the example of Simon Peter is selected. According to one of the first laws of physics, one concludes that when an object is placed into the liquid, it will sink into the liquid by the pull of gravity until it displaces its weight in the liquid. Simon Peter did stepped out of the boat into the water, in this situation Simon Peter was the object and the water was the liquid, according to the law of gravity, he would have immediately sunk into the water but he did not he even walk on the the water contrary to the law of nature. that is the miracle. the case of Miriam and Aaron in the book of numbers 12:1-8, which the Lord anger was kindled against them, Miriam was left with dreaded disease of leprosy, however Aaron was saved because of him being a High priest and having the priestly cloth with him then God placed the judgment upon her, their problem was not only about Moses wife but it went far about God talking only to Moses, but by Moses prayer God did have mercy on her.

             The miracles that Jesus performed are recorded by all four gospel writers, the total number that are recorded is 35, only one is recorded by all four which is the feeding of the five thousand, Matthew records 21 miracles, Mark records 21 miracles, Luke records 20 miracles, and John records 8 miracles, of John's eight miracles, six of them are recorded only by him, which are water made wine, healing of the nobleman's son, the impotent man, the man born blind, the raising of Lazarus and the drought of fishes after resurrection 

           The miracles did continue even in the time of the Apostles as the book of acts does record, even today with the help of the ministry of the Holy Spirit however not every miracles come from God as mention above, and signs, wonders and miracles does not mean God is with you and this revelation alone is not enough. it is important to have a good study and understanding of God theology for you to have great and complete revelation of God.

                  God bless you all
