Daily God Walk - Promises Volume Eight

Faithful Service Produces Great Faith

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.” - Luke 17:5-6
 
This passage is often cited when we are talking about how much faith we have, or desire to have. Jesus seems to be saying that it doesn’t take much faith to effect a result.

The real message, however, lies in the next verses. In verses 7-10 Jesus goes on to give a parable of a servant who works hard in the field all day long and comes back to the house tired and hungry. What does this servant do? Jesus said that before he could rest or eat he first had to care for his work animal, then, he must prepare a meal for his master. It is only when the work is done that he is able rest and eat.

Jesus concludes this parable by saying, “So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘we are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’” We all want to have great faith to move mountains and uproot trees, but Jesus was saying that there is a much greater principle at play here.

 It is the principle of servanthood. It appears that Jesus was teaching his disciples to be good servants. If you want great faith become a great servant.

Even small faith can produce great things but great faith comes from faithfulness in service. When we are faithful to the calling of God in Chris our service releases great faith.
 
Prayer: Lord, I’m just like everyone else; I want great faith, but I am challenged by servanthood. Grant me the grace to faithfully do what you have called me to do. I ask in Jesus name. Amen. 
Faithful Service Produces Great Faith
  
Message:  Faith comes from faithful service. If you want great faith become a great servant. Even small faith can produce great things but great faith comes from faithfulness in service. When we are faithful to the calling of God in Christ our service releases great faith
  
Affirmation:  I am committed to being a faithful servant of God. He rewards faithfulness with great faith.
  
Reflection:  Can you see how faithful service can produce great faith? Why do you think Jesus answered their request by giving his disciples the parable of a faithful servant? There is mountain moving faith and mountain climbing faith. You won’t have mountain moving faith until you have mountain climbing faithfulness.
