Abstract:
Miracles were a part of the ministries of Moses, Elijah and Elisha, and of course Jesus and the apostles, and their miracles primarily served the purpose of confirming their message as being from God. Miracles are accompanying signs by which God confirms the words of witnesses (Mark 16:20). Miracles can be simply defined s God making possible what under normal and natural circumstances would have been impossible. Miracles can be simply defined as God making possible what under normal and natural circumstances would have been impossible. These are deeds that are enabled by the supernatural power of God to alter the normal course of nature. So miracles as seen in the Bible come from God and believers have been given authority by the Holy Spirit to cast out demons and perform miracles. The miracle of human conversion (salvation) is actually greater than any healing miracle because this bring eternal life in Christ. Miracles should not be what take Christians to church; it is not for self-aggrandizement as displayed 21st century Nigeria Church, it is simply a pointer to God.
