Is it because Jesus was can revive the dead Lazarus, then you think of him as God?
You should know, not only Jesus who can revive the dead, but there were some Prophets and Messengers of Allah (God) who can revive the dead:
1. Prophet Muhammad can revive the dead
Perhaps many who understand that the Prophet Muhammad's miracle is the Koran / Qur'an. Some of Christians are often said that Jesus was not equal to the Prophet Muhammad because Jesus is able to raise the dead, heal the leprosy, and healed the blind.
Actually, the Prophet Muhammad has all the miracles of all the Prophets. Here are three of his ability (as evidenced by the arguments of the texts).
Prophet Muhammad revive the dead
Anas r.a. said, "When we were on the porch in front of the mosque of the Prophet, there came an old woman and the blind who participated move brought her son who has baligh. Shortly thereafter, her son exposed to the disease that is endemic in Medina. The child was sick a few days, then died. Prophet. shut the boy's eyes and told us to prepare for the funeral. When we would bathe him, the Prophet said, Anas, call his mother and tell her this news. 'I told her, she came and sat in front of his legs. She holds both legs of his son, and asked, 'Did my son die? "We answer,' Yes. 'The mother had prayed,' O God, you know I really have surrendered to you voluntarily, leaving the idols with earnest, and emigrated to you for love. O God, Thou put me down among pagans, and Thou inflict calamity that I can not afford to bear. 'By God, the mother has not had time to finish her prayer, then his legs twitching and parted clothing that covers his face. Then the boy ate with us and the Prophet. The boy was revived until the Prophet and his mother passed away." (Reported by Ibn 'Adiy, Ibn Abi Dunya, Al-Baihagi, and Abu Na'im. This narration is also spoken by Ibn Qattan and' Iyad).
Told a story of a man said to the Prophet, "I will not believe in you so that you are able to turn my daughter for me." In the story it is mentioned that the Prophet went to the grave and said, "O fulanah." Then the girl said, "I welcome vocation and faithfully accept orders and happiness may always be delegated to you, Prophet. " (Dala'ilun Nubuwwah by Imam Bayhaqi)
Cure Leprosy
"That wife of Mu'adh bin 'Afra' suffering from leprosy and report them to Prophet Muhammad, then he wipe it with a stick then God eliminate leprosy from him." (Al-Imam Al-Haafiz Ahmad bin Muhammad Al Qasthalani).
Healing the Blind
Fudayk recalled that his father came to the Prophet complaining about his eyes were white, and can not see. He asked what gives? He replied: I ever stepped on a snake eggs, broken and the eyes until finally the blind. Prophet blow Abu Fudayk eyes and he could see again. (A history of Ibn Abi Syaibah Hadith, Ibn Sakan, al Baghawi, and Abu Nuaim and at Tabari).
According to Islamic law, no miracle that God gave a prophet, but the miracle that was given to the Prophet Muhammad too. For that, we should be grateful for the blessings of faith given by God through the presence of a Noble Prophet Muhammad, the messenger, people closest to God, as well as representatives of God on earth. Because the Prophet that we know was the one who knows God better.
All miracles are evidence of its proximity to God through whom the Lord describe His power can not be done by humans. Should not we / they compare to the majesty of the Prophet Muhammad to the miracles that are owned by previous prophets.
"See what kinds of comparisons they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!" (QS Al-Furqaan, 25:9).
2. Prophet Jesus can raise the dead
John 11: 40-44
11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 11:41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose
him, and let him go.

And (remember) when Abraham said, "My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead." He (Allah) said: "Do you not believe?" He (Abraham) said: "Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in Faith." He (Allah) said: "Take four birds, then cause them to incline towards you (then slaughter them, cut them into pieces), and then put a portion of them on every hill, and call them, they will come to you in haste. And know that Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise."(QS. Al-Baqarah 2: 260).
4. Prophet Moses can revive the dead
Moses was able to turn the bodies using most members of cows, with the power of God.
So We said: "Strike him (the dead man) with a piece of it (the cow)." Thus Allah brings the dead to life and shows you His signs, so that you may understand." (QS. Al-Baqarah 2:73).
5. Peter, the disciple of Jesus, can revive the dead
"But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up." (Acts 9:40).
6. Prophet Ezekiel can revive the dead
Ezekiel 37: 2-10
37:2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they were] very dry. 37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 37:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 37:6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. 37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 37:8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in them. 37:9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 37:10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
7. Prophet Elijah could revive the dead
1 Kings 17: 21-22
17:21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again. 17:22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
8. Prophet Elisha can revive the dead
"One day some men were burying a man when they spotted a raiding party. So they threw the dead man into Elisha’s tomb. When the body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man came to life and stood on his feet." (2 King 13:21).

All the Prophets and Messengers are the chosen people who are closest to God. If God wills give most of His power to His prophets, then miracles can happened.

Four Rules Regarding #Shirk
Section Three: The Second Rule Regarding Shirk
[Text from Imam Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhaab’s “Four Rules Regarding Shirk”]
The Second Rule: They (i.e. the disbelievers) said: “We did not invoke them nor turn towards them except to seek nearness (to Allah) and (their) intercession. The proof for their seeking nearness (to Allaah) is His saying:
وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي مَا هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ كَاذِبٌ كَفَّارٌ
“And those who take protectors besides Him (say): ‘We don’t worship them except to bring us closer to Allaah.’ Verily Allaah will judge between them concerning that which they differ in. Verily, Allaah does not guide he who is a liar, a disbeliever.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 3]
“And those who take protectors besides Him (say): ‘We don’t worship them except to bring us closer to Allaah.’ Verily Allaah will judge between them concerning that which they differ in. Verily, Allaah does not guide he who is a liar, a disbeliever.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 3]
The proof for their seeking intercession is Allaah’s saying:
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللَّهِ
“And they worship besides Allaah things that harm them not nor benefit them. And they say: ‘These are our intercessors besides Allaah.’” [Surah Yoonus: 18]
“And they worship besides Allaah things that harm them not nor benefit them. And they say: ‘These are our intercessors besides Allaah.’” [Surah Yoonus: 18]
Intercession is of two types: Intercession that is negated and Intercession that is affirmed.
The Negated Intercession is that which is sought from someone other than Allaah in matters that no one has the ability to carry out except Allaah. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خُلَّةٌ وَلَا شَفَاعَةٌ ۗ وَالْكَافِرُونَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
“O you who believe! Spend of that which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining nor friendship nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the wrong-doers.” [Surah Al- Baqarah: 254]
“O you who believe! Spend of that which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining nor friendship nor intercession. And it is the disbelievers who are the wrong-doers.” [Surah Al- Baqarah: 254]
The Affirmed Intercession is that which is sought from Allaah. The intercessor is one who is granted the honor of being able to intercede (by Allaah), while the one who is interceded for is the one whom Allaah is pleased with his statements and actions. (All of these occur) after Allaah’s permission is granted, as Allaah says:
مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ
“Who is it that will intercede in His presence except with His permission.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 255]
“Who is it that will intercede in His presence except with His permission.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 255]

Explanation from Dr. Muhammad Bin ‘Abdir-Rahmaan Al-Khumayyis’ explanation of Four Rules Regarding Shirk
Language:
Zulfaa means closeness; Shufa’aaunaa (our intercessors) is the plural of shaafi’ and shafee’, and he is the one that gets in between (two parties) in order to bring some benefit or to repel some harm; Khillah (friendship) mutual love.
Explanation:
These disbelievers used as an argument for their supplicating and worshipping of other gods besides Allaah, the claim that they did not call unto them nor turn to them except for two reasons.
First: So that these things (i.e. false gods) that they were worshipping could bring them nearer to Allaah. And Second: So that they may intercede for them before Allaah.
The proof for the first reason is Allaah’s saying:
وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ مَا نَعْبُدُهُمْ إِلَّا لِيُقَرِّبُونَا إِلَى اللَّهِ زُلْفَىٰ
“And those who take protectors besides Him (say): ‘We don’t worship them except to bring us closer to Allaah.’” [Surah Az-Zumar: 3]
“And those who take protectors besides Him (say): ‘We don’t worship them except to bring us closer to Allaah.’” [Surah Az-Zumar: 3]
Meaning: We only supplicated to them and worshipped them so that they may serve as a means to gain nearness to Allaah and attain a high position with Him.
The proof for the second reason is Allaah’s saying:
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللَّهِ
“And they worship besides Allaah things that harm them not nor benefit them. And they say: These are our intercessors besides Allaah.” [Surah Yoonus: 18]
“And they worship besides Allaah things that harm them not nor benefit them. And they say: These are our intercessors besides Allaah.” [Surah Yoonus: 18]
Meaning: We only worshipped them so that they may intercede for us before Allaah in bringing about some good or repelling some harm.
Then the Shaikh explains that Intercession is of two types in the Book of Allaah. The first is an intercession that the Qur’aan has negated, rejected and restricted that it be achieved. And the second type is the Affirmed Intercession, which the Qur’aan has affirmed will occur on the Day of Judgement, based on the clear evidences.
As for the Intercession that Allaah has negated in His Book, when He said:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِمَّا رَزَقْنَاكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَ يَوْمٌ لَّا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خُلَّةٌ وَلَا شَفَاعَةٌ ۗ وَالْكَافِرُونَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ
“O you who believe! Spend of that which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining nor friendship nor intercession” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 254]
“O you who believe! Spend of that which We have provided for you, before a Day comes when there will be no bargaining nor friendship nor intercession” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 254]
then it is the Intercession that is sought from other than Allaah in matters that no one has control over except Allaah, such as a person who seeks entrance into Paradise from other than Allaah, for example, or to be saved from the Hellfire. What also falls into the Negated Intercession is the Intercession that is done for those whom Allaah did not permit that intercession be granted to, such as the disbelievers, or the Intercession from someone that Allaah did not allow to intercede. As for the Affirmed Intercession, then it is that which is sought from Allaah and which occurs with His permission. So the one who intercedes, Allaah has granted him the honor of interceding. As for the one who is interceded for, he is the one whom Allaah is pleased with his statements and actions, after He has given His permission for him to be interceded for.
This is as Allaah says:
مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ
“Who is it that will intercede in His presence except with His permission.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 255]
“Who is it that will intercede in His presence except with His permission.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 255]
The true intercession, which is the affirmed one cannot occur unless two conditions are first met:
First: Permission for the intercessor to intercede, as is stated in the previous ayah.
Second: Allaah must be pleased with the one being interceded for. This is as is stated in Allaah’s statement:
وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ وَهُم مِّنْ خَشْيَتِهِ مُشْفِقُونَ
“And they cannot intercede except for he whom Allaah is pleased with. And they stand in awe from fear of Allaah.” [Surah Al-Anbiyaa: 28]
“And they cannot intercede except for he whom Allaah is pleased with. And they stand in awe from fear of Allaah.” [Surah Al-Anbiyaa: 28]
So due to this, all of the Intercession occurs by Allaah’s Permission and it is all in His Hand and Command, as Allaah says:
قُل لِّلَّهِ الشَّفَاعَةُ جَمِيعًا
“Say: To Allaah belongs all of the intercession.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 44]
“Say: To Allaah belongs all of the intercession.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 44]
