Small miracles

The guiding principle for serving God can be found in Luke 6:10, which reads as follows and is taught by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself:

10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

We start with small things like maybe vacuuming the carpet, washing the toilets, arranging chairs to street evangelism (for example, distributing pamphlets for an evangelistic rally) and maybe progress to bigger things like worship leading and leading a bible study or home fellowship. So, do not despise the smaller things in God as God uses the smaller things to lead us to greater things in Him.

It’s the same principle applied for miracles and signs and wonders. When we pray, we ask God’s help, maybe to help us find a parking spot or bring to rememberance where we left our house keys? Or pray over our fever or an ache in our body before we progress to bigger things like praying for cancer or for the deaf and mute or blind. We always start small and let the Holy Spirit lead us to greater exploits for God. If you are into church planting or outreach work, it usually starts with a house fellowship, and then it progresses to a proper meeting place, but for outreach work, be prepared to do the whole works from praying, worship leading to sharing a sermon. The platform may be smaller and less formal, yet the tasks are the same, just on a reduced scale and intensity.

In my experience serving God, the great thing is that we will experience His love, joy, and peace with full satisfaction, and the Lord never requires more than we can give. He takes us step by step and progresses us as we mature and get better. He always starts small.

Serve God in whatever capacity He has called us. Don’t despise the smaller things in life. Start serving Him from whatever position we are. Over time, He will promote us and lead us to bigger things!
