LITTLE IS MUCH

Text: Luke  16:10  

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

Many are often tempted to think that little things should be despised and handled carelessly, and that when big things come, they will handle it more carefully.

Such people despise small duties. When they are given a position to lead few people they do not lead them with all seriousness.They spend any little money that come to them lavishly, hoping that bigger money is on the way. They despise  people that seem not to be important in the society. They despise people that are not famous or rich. They disregard  the men of God around them thinking that they are not as popular, powerful,  and anointed as the popular ones on the social media.

The way man thinks is not the way God thinks. That's the reason the scripture says "...my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8-9). 

The statement made by Jesus in our study text shows that God will judge people based on their faithfulness towards the assignment, gift, grace, potentials and anointing He has given them.

Hence, if you are faithful with the small things God has committed into your hands, He will consider you qualified for big things or even consider you for the same reward that would be given to people who have handled big things.(Matthew 20:1-14).

 *Every big thing starts small, you must therefore learn to handle small things seriously.* Jesus once mentioned that a poor widow who gave her two mites as offering to God, gave more than all the people that gave. (Luke 21:1-4).

Please do not despise yourself when you are handling small things, give it your best. God is looking at faithfulness in how you deal with things He's committed into your hands. *God is not so much considering the quantity or the size of what you are handling for Him, as much as the faithfulness you are putting into what He has comnitted into your hands.*

Do you remember the little boy with bread and two small fishes with which Jesus fed  five thousand men. Though the boy is *little* , he's got *few* bread and *small* fishes, yet Jesus used all He offered to do great and mighty things. *Always be willing to offer your little, and small things to God with diligence and faithfulness and He will do great things with them.* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to handle little and  small  things you have given me faithfully.

John 6:5-13.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
