Let me start by saying, God is the greatest surgeon. Even Adam, the first man, testified of God's surgical ability when he said, "... This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." (Genesis 2:23).

This article was born out of a demand from one of my readers when he commented on a topic I wrote on "Strange Powers Resident in the Church."

One of my readers with the pseudonym LordReed, in his comment, said: "Use this so called power to give an amputee their limb back."

1 Corinthians 12:7-10
7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit,
9. To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.


What an amputee needs is the working of miracles.
However, let me start by establishing that with God, nothing is impossible. And the same power and authority resident in Christ Jesus is in the church, as the corporate anointing.
The Bible teaches that, "Do you not know and understand that you [the church] are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells [permanently] in you [collectively and individually]?" (1 Corinthians 3:16)
The church has the experiential power through the manifestation of the Spirit to restore an amputees' limb. However, the amputee must meet two annex conditions. That is, first, the amputee must be willing to receive a miracle: because God cannot do anything without your will. "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land" (Isaiah 1:19). Also, still emphasizing on the will, the Lord Jesus asked, the man who had an infirmity for thirty-eight years, the question: "... Wilt thou be made whole?" (John 5:6). Second, the amputee must be in a place where working of miracles is preached: because it is in that atmosphere that God will confirm His word. The Bible says, "But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;" (Titus 1:3). And in Mark's gospel the Bible says: "And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen" (Mark 16:20).

You see, in Jesus' day, when the people heard he was in a certain place, they carried the lame, the weak, the diseased to him to be healed because it is in that place that the Spirit is in manifestation. The power of God is present everywhere and in every church, so to speak. Yet, there're certain ministries where certain types of manifestation is prevalent.
I want you to understand here that the atmosphere, where the Spirit of God is in manifestation, is very important. Scripture says, "And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. And behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and lay him before him" (Luke 5:17-18).

In the text above did you notice the phrase, "The power of the Lord was present to heal them," and also "Men brought in a bed a man"?
Working of miracles is given as the Spirit wills but it is more prevalent in ministries that exercise themselves therein. Men have to bring in a sicker of miracle into that atmosphere to be healed and/or to receive a miracle.
Jesus' question to that man, who had an infirmity thirty and eight years show that sometimes your outer conditions wants to be healed but your inner convictions says otherwise. In the end, one who needs healing or a miracle, should by every means, look for a living church where the manifestation of the Spirit is preached: for it is in that atmosphere that one could receive one's healing or miracle.

If a radio station is broadcasting Free to Air, one cannot phone the radio station complaining one cannot receive the signal where one is. All one needs to do is to enhance one's antenna to receive the signal.

It supposedly took your god less than a day to make a human being but it requires this long turanchi to grow just a limb. Its been several weeks since you and I last interacted, how many amputees limbs has your god regrown in that time? Zero! No amount of long posts will change that.

Jesus is Lord!

U guys have been saying 'With god all things are possible' and have been showing us all sorts of fake miracles. When asked for verification, u ask us to go verify ourselves. When we tell you we can't find evidence of healing, u call us liars.
Now u guys cant show us miracles of regrowing of limbs. Why? Its impossible to fake. There's 3 orthopedic hospitals in Nigeria, plus many orthopedic wards in hundreds of tertiary health institutions, all of them are filled with amputees of all kinds. Infact u can't find them on the roadsides. As a physician, I have never witnessed one miracle or heard one that happened. U find sick people/amputees in hospitals, the people u see on tv are actors. If truly healings happen, hospitals would be out of fashion. But guess what, even churches run clinics during church hours. Sick people go there to get cured, no pastors praying for them. Yes, churches now run outpatient clinics.
So what kinda faith r u talking about? Jesus said in the babble that even faith of a mustard seed is enough. That is the tiniest bit of faith! For an amputee to even show up in church for healing is more than enough faith, but guess what, no healing. All we hear is its spiritual healing, and other bullshit. When would you guys get tired of this?

You're a bald head liar. Then how did you come to this world? The probability of you coming to earth is contingent upon improbable conditions. You could have come as a girl.
Why did you demonstrate, in writing, your ignorance without thinking?

I still insist many theists have poor grasp of science.
So since he turned out to be a male, then its a miracle? So the father's Y chromosome merging with the mother's X chromosome, is miraculous?
Did you do probability in school?
Scratch that. Did you do any science or technology course?
Whoa! Just whoa

I am so happy I don't have to stoop to nonsense to believe anymore. He probably thinks that was an intelligent response.

May be that is not an intelligent response, but an intelligent man says he's not had a miracle ever in his life and all you intelligentsias agree.

Miracle is the divine intervention in the course of life. His birth was a function of divine intervention yes or no?

Long, useIess story. Limbs of amputees cannot be regrown through prayer because prayers do not work as there's nothing like a god anywhere waiting to make your request a reality.

Are you an illiterate who doesn't know about how human reproduction works? How is a sperm fertilising an ovum and producing a child 9 months later a miracle? At what point does this divine intervention enter into the equation in reproduction? When the god was watch the man fuçk his wife?

No. There was no divine intervention in his birth. I don't know the story of Reed's birth(and I suspect you don't) so you dont interpose a miracle in that event. Miracle simply means a supernatural event. What is supernatural about a baby popping out of a vagina? Are you aware there are factors that ensure the baby comes out at birth? The uterus contracts rhythmically and forcefully, and it dilates and softens so that the head of the baby comes out. If the head is out, the rest of the body is easy. I can't count the number of times I have taken deliveries.
Even in difficult births, we intervene to assist the woman push if there is poor maternal effort, unless there is cephalopelvic disproportion which we deliver via a section.
I still insist theists have severe grasp of facts or science
