Topic: Growing Your Faith For The  Miraculous

Text: "…If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye
shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to
yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you' (Matthew 17:20).

In Matthew 17:14-21, the disciples tried to cast
out a demon but couldn’t. They had the power
because Jesus had already given it to them (see
Matt. 10:1). Knowing this, the disciples were
dumbfounded about why it wouldn’t work. Jesus
explained that even though they had the power,
unbelief was preventing it. This is where many
believers live. They know they have power, but
struggle to produce miraculous results.
Jesus gives the key in Matthew 17:20, saying, “If
you have faith as a grain of mustard.” Jesus
wasn’t telling them that if you have tiny faith like
a mustard seed that is all you need. This doesn’t
make sense because He already told them that
they had unbelief, which the Amplified Bible
refers to as “the littleness of your faith.” Jesus
wouldn’t tell them their faith was too little, then
say they only needed a tiny bit of faith. He was
saying that while a grain begins small, the
miracle is not in its size but
in its growth potential. The disciples needed to
take that tiny bit of faith and grow it for that
kind of miracle.
You can take your tiny seed of faith today and
grow it by nurturing it and watering it with
promises of faith from God’s Word. When you do,
it will grow up, and before you know it you will
have grown a miracle!

PRAYER
Father, I take the following verse from Your Word
_____________ and I water my faith for a miracle in
the area of _____________________. I say today that
I shall grow this miracle! In Jesus’ Name, amen.
