FAITHFUL OVER SMALL AND RULERS OVER MANY

January 19

hild of God, do you know that my "eyes move back and forth throughout the whole earth to show myself strong toward those whose hearts are fully turned to me?" (II Chronicles 16:9 NKJV) You may say, "Lord I am not particularly gifted in any special ways such as my brothers and sisters around me?" Child of God, how do you know what is possible for me to perform through your life if you will surrender to me fully? You don't! Even the expression of faith as small as a "mustard seed" (Matthew 17:20) removes great mountains. I am not asking you to do great things, I am asking you to go deep in surrender and submission to your Father in Heaven. When you do, I open the heavens and send great surprises your way. I will empower you to do great exploits for the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you believe this? The widow who cast her mites in the treasury was observed by the Lord Jesus as having given more than any other that day. It is in the reckoning of your Father in Heaven as to what can be accomplished through your life. If you will seek the Lord and turn from lame excuses, and rejoice in the God of your salvation, I will reveal to you the truth and lead you in ways that will help you do mighty things through the name of Jesus! Do you believe this? You should, it is true! Further, do you remember the phrase, "You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things?" (Matthew 25:23 NKJV) I give you only what you can do first. If you keep faith in the small things, then I increase you a little each time until you are then empowered to be ruler over many things. This is a principle on which heaven operates in the life of the believer. Well, what are you going to do?

Prayer

Father, you are right! I have looked at the successes of my brothers and sisters and realized that their blessings and good successes are because they too have been faithful over small things, and in turn, you have promoted and blessed them to greater things. I will do so also. Forgive me for thinking small. I will do great exploits in the name of the Lord Jesus, amen!
