If you had a servant that you could utilize to do things for you such as chop the wood, clean the house, wash the dishes, and do all manner of other chores on your behalf would you use that servant or just let him or her sit on the lounge all day watching television.
I am here to tell you today you do have a servant that can get things done for you and most of you are not using that servant at all. That servant has an interesting name. Your servants name is Faith.
Luke 17:5-10
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
Did you really take in how the Lord replied to the question of increasing faith?
First of all he made it abundantly clear that faith is so powerful that only the smallest amount of faith is needed to bring about amazing results. But what is even more interesting to me is how the Lord then went on to compare faith as our servant.
Do we actually have that mind set. Faith is something that can be ordered about. Go do this for me. Go do that for me.
Put faith to work in your life. You might not have the biggest or tallest servant but you have the most powerful.
