Devotion: Be faithful in little Things
Luke 16:10-11 “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. If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?”
Are you desiring more? Do you want to grow? Do you want to upgrade your life? Then be faithful with the little you have. First, prove that you can handle little or less and then much and greater will be entrusted to you.
You want a better job, so be faithful with your current one. Prove that you can handle a bigger post while you still have a smaller one. You want to grow your business, ministry or anything else, then be faithful with the current. You want big monies, be faithful with the current money you are getting.
In Matthew 25:14-31, we read the parable of the men who were entrusted with talents (money). One was given five talents, traded them and doubled what he had; another was given two talents and gained two more; but the last one with one talent dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.
To the first two, the master spoke these words, “Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things, enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:21 and Matthew 25:23).
In Matthew 25:24-28, the one who buried his money lost it, and Jesus concluded in verse 29, “For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.”
God rewards those who are faithful with the small things and faithful in that which they have been given. For the unfaithful, they lose even the smallest thing they have.
Therefore, make up your mind that you will handle with diligence what you currently have so that more will be added unto you.
Confession (Speak it aloud)
I am a faithful servant able to handle the small or little so much is entrusted to me. Whatever my Master tells me to handle, I will never fail. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
