The Believer’s Authority

“Exodus”.
We can connect the workings of the Gifts of the Spirit with the miraculous display of God’s power at the initial stage of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. 1Cor 12:1-7
Important Things to Note;
📌In paganism, every idol is a specialist, there is a god for everything (e.g., fertility, war, commerce, etc) There are a plethora of different spirits and powers working together.
📌In Christianity, there is only one God who is diverse in power. Divers works, same Spirit.
📌In paganism they don’t have an omnipotent god but in Christianity, we have an omnipotent God.
Things to note about the gods of Egypt;
📌 There is no single creator of all, they depend on a different plethora of powers.
📌 Their gods were not personal gods, they didn't care.
📌 The Egyptians believed that the gods were behind natural disasters.

The aim of all of God’s miraculous works in Egypt was not to help the children of Israel escape, He wanted to prove to the Egyptians that there is one Almighty God, not a plethora of powers.
He did this by;
📌displaying all the specialties of all their powers in one God. Exo 9:24
📌demonstrating controlled power, (controlled outcome); the disasters were only happening in the Egyptian camp, Goshen was excluded. Exo 9:7
📌Precision; all the plagues started when Moses said they would start and ended when he said they would end. Exo 8:9-10
