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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
