The God of Signs and Wonders by Archbishop Benson Idahosa

Jesus said the supernatural Signs and Wonders are to “accompany those who believe” and they should be fully understood by every Christian that they are to accompany them wherever they are. Many within the church believe that after the Apostles died and their writings were collected in the New Testament, the place of Signs and Wonders in evangelism has passed, and Christians should not pursue them today.

This does not mean miracles don’t happen. It just says they are not the typical or normal way ministry is to be done. You can often hear it said that the healing ministry of Jesus and the Apostles was unique. Miracles, it is often heard said, were not done by Christians in general, but were the signs of the Apostles exclusive authority, and when the Apostles died out, the signs died out.

There are also those who claim that Signs and Wonders were merely for authenticating the Bible, and now that people have the Bible, Christians don’t need them anymore because Signs and Wonders don’t produce a real faith in an unbelieving heart.
