First, there are so many different definitions of gods among believers that you really need to define your specific god to get a good answer to the OP question.

This also goes to a question I have often asked believers, which concerns how your god's magic works? Are god's magical powers due to supernatural abilities, or are they due to science which we don't understand?

Ultimately the call on supernatural or not might come down to your god's creation. If he created the Universe, he's supernatural by definition, since he is not "of" the Universe. If he was created from within the Universe, he might be of nature, or natural, but he could also just be an alien from another world - in other words not really a god, but just advanced enough for us not to be able to tell the difference.
