What a Little Can Do

Posted on 05. Nov, 2009 by admin in God Stuff

I want to talk to you today about what your little can do.

I think about the small boy with the little lunch – Jesus had 5,000 hungry people and no way to feed them. None of the adults knew what to do but there was a little boy with a very small lunch. He knew it wasn’t much, just enough for him, but he was willing to give it to Jesus.

We know the story, he gave his lunch that day and Jesus fed 5,000 people and not only that but they gathered many baskets of leftovers. God always does exceedingly, abundantly above all we can imagine.

Most people wouldn’t have even been willing to offer that small lunch, they would have thought there was no way it could make a difference, but nothing is small in Jesus, He multiplies everything and causes it to be more than enough.

What is small to you may feed thousands. I know that those who give to this ministry, even small gifts, it helps to feed, spiritually, thousands daily. Isn’t that amazing! God takes that gift, multiplies it and causes it feed thousands.

The Bible says when we are faithful over little, He will make us ruler over much. I want to point out two things here. When we are faithful over little, He doesn’t make us ruler over little, but ruler over much. Secondly, it is ONLY when we are faithful with little that we become ruler over anything.

Many people will say when the win the lottery they will give God $50,000 but I say, if you don’t give the $50 you have now, you won’t give the $50,000 when it is in your hands. If you don’t give the $5 you have now, you will never be found faithful over little and you will never be ruler over much.

Everyone reading this today has something they can give, it may not be money, but each one of you has a place to start being faithful in little today. Perhaps you bake well, you could bake someone in need a dessert or even a meal. It may be little to you but it will be great to them.

Perhaps you have an extra blanket or coat lying around, give it, it may mean nothing to you – but to the person you give it to, it will mean warmth over a long, winter season.

When we begin to give, even if it is little, we set ourselves up for a lifetime of miracles coming our way. Remember the window woman? She only had a little flour and oil, nothing to brag about – only enough to make one more meal for her and her son and then they would die. But the Prophet came along and ask her to make him a cake. She told him that she only had a little, he told her to give him that little. She obeyed the man of God and God provided for her through that entire famine.

However, it didn’t end there. Later in life, when her son died, she went to the same prophet and he prayed for him and he lived again. You see, she gave her little and it set her up for a lifetime of miracles.

It is my prayer for you that when you give, even if it is little, it sets you up for a lifetime of miracles. It is my prayer that as you give, even a little, that God will provide for you and your family during these times of famine in our land. He is the same God now as then. The principle remains the same – you give and God takes care of you, just as He did the widow woman back then. We simply can’t stop giving.
One more thing I want you to remember – it was a small thing that took down the giant of lack in the widows life that day, just as it was a small thing in the hand of David that took down the giant in his life – your small gift will take down every giant in your life.
