*FOUNTAIN OF MERCY DEVOTIONAL*
*TUESDAY 03-03-2026*
*SUPERNATURAL BLESSINGS (1).*
*And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:*
*And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.* (Genesis 12:2-3)
*Praise the Lord!!!* *Amen!!!*
In the journey of this month, we shall be considering the above theme with sections of sub-topics in the devotion.
This morning and for a few days, we shall be looking at the concept of Super+natural through different lenses and what supernatural blessings are and not.
To start with, the concept of the supernatural will be briefly defined as the foundation for our devotion in the journey of this month.
The term supernatural is a compound word with two different words: Super+ Natural
We shall be looking at the two words to define what "supernatural" is.
1. The term "super" generally denotes being "above," "beyond," "over," or "exceeding" in degree or position.
While "super-" is a Latin prefix, its equivalent concepts in Greek and Hebrew are used to convey the idea of superiority, abundance, or greatness.
It signifies a degree that goes beyond the normal limit, often translated as "above," "over," or "beyond".
It is frequently used in the New Testament to describe surpassing greatness or excess, such as:
Hypernikōmen (ὑπερνικῶμεν): "More than conquerors" or exceeding victory.
In a nutshell, the term "Super" primarily means extremely good, excellent, or top-quality.
2. The word "nature" where the word "natural" is formed means the phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations.
And it can also mean the basic or inherent features, character, or qualities of something.
Then the word natural from an English dictionary means the existing in or derived from nature; not made or caused by humankind.
And it could also mean "in accordance with the nature" of, or circumstances surrounding, someone or something.
Greek thinks "NATURAL" in terms of innate properties, essence, and categories (natural vs. unnatural/spiritual).
Hebrew thinks in terms of creation, function, and relationship to God, not abstract "laws of nature".
However, the term supernatural would mean, "of a manifestation or event) attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature.
OR
What is unable to be explained by science or the laws of nature: of, relating to, or seeming to come from magic, a god, etc
In the Bible, the supernatural refers to the realm, forces, and events that exist above, beyond, or outside the limitations of natural laws, often involving direct intervention by God, angels, or spiritual forces.
It signifies a reality where the spiritual dimension impacts the physical world, exemplified by miracles, prophecies, and divine manifestations.
*Note*
Christians are considered supernatural works of God because we are transformed by the Holy Spirit, living a life that transcends natural laws and expectations. Rooted in the resurrection of Jesus, this new identity involves divine intervention in human history, enabling believers to operate in faith, experience miracles, and manifest spiritual gifts.
*Key Aspects of Christians as Supernatural Works:*
a. *New Creation & Identity:* Regeneration is a supernatural act where the Holy Spirit transforms an individual, making us a "new creature" in Christ.
b. *Indwelling of the Holy Spirit:* True Christian life is powered by the Holy Spirit dwelling within, enabling obedience and spiritual understanding.
c. *Supernatural Living:* Believers are called to walk in the Spirit, leading to "natural" lives that display supernatural power, such as love, joy, and peace.
d. *Partnership in Power:* Christians partner with God through faith, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through them for healing, miracles, and the advancement of the kingdom.
e. *Beyond Natural Limits:* Christianity involves divine intervention that defies logic, science, and physical limitations, showing God's power in daily life.
This supernatural life is not just for specific, miraculous moments but is the intended state of every believer, allowing them to live out the gospel in a world influenced by spiritual forces.
*Our prayers this morning*
May we always be working in the supernatural grace of God in the name of Jesus Christ.
May we be endowed and be disciplined to always carry and walk in the real nature of God in the name of Jesus Christ.
May the Spirit of God's supernatural rest on each of us in the name of Jesus Christ.
Good morning, stay safe and have a week fills with God's supernatural in the name of Jesus Christ!
*Mercy!!!*
