What my Father pours into me is determined by where my Father has placed me. He gives each according to their unique traits and requirements needed for his development and growth in faith. My Father knows what I need, so by spending time with Him, I make myself available to receive all that I need such that I operate in faith to complete his perfect Will. I am thankful for all that I receive from my Father.
As part of faith’s definition, I revisit the factor of size and faith’s measurability. If one is to consider faith as a currency, it would be equally important to ascertain or appreciate its measure. It is not only that one has faith, but it matters also how much of it man may hold in his heart. So, now, I spend some time studying faith’s measure.
I recall from the book of Luke, Chapter 6:
17 And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Huh? Faith like a grain of mustard seed? I repeat this verse again:
17 But the Lord said, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.
Come again. What did He say? Let me repeat one more time.
I read from Matthew Chapter 17:
20 "Because you have so little faith," He answered. "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Okay. A mustard seed. This is one measure of faith that Christ has highlighted. He gave us a measure the size of a mustard seed. And that the size of the mustard is the equivalent of moving a mulberry tree around and moving a mountain. Food for thought.
But, now I consider, what is the size of a mustard seed? On observation, it measures just about 1 to 2 millimetres in diameter. Wow. That is a mighty tiny thing.
I don’t know about you, but I have heard the aforementioned verse spoken about too many times in this lifetime. But truly, what does that even mean? This is a very common-place verse. But I ask myself, have we seen any mountains move or mulberry trees being plunged into the ocean’s floor? We have yet to still see this play out, I would presume. Does it mean then, that most if not all are not yet operating in faith that is equal to the size of a mustard seed? Hmm... A pause for thought. I mean I could probe more and tell myself, indeed, we all share in a faith that measures below that equal to the size of a mustard seed, and trust me, I would receive some really harsh stares. So, I keep my mouth shut! Silence.
I have yet another question. What is the importance of a tree being moved or a mountain being plunged into the sea? He could have easily said anything else. Why did he choose the movements of the mulberry tree and the mountain to make his equivalence statement? I think about this for the moment. But I keep my silence.
Some may argue that these verses aren’t actually supposed to be taken literally. They are all figures of speech. It must be interpreted as moving the mountains of one’s life. Perhaps that may be figuratively true. But I challenge this thought further. Does it only refer to life’s challenges, or can it also mean that mountains are moved all to way to the sea bed? I look for some proof.
I read from the book of Psalm Chapter 18:
7 But I called upon the Lord in my distress, I cried to my God for help; and from his temple He heard my voice, my cry of grief reached his ears.
8 Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the mountains shook; they trembled at his fury.
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils, from his mouth a devouring fire throwing off live embers.
15 Sending out a hail of arrows, He scattered them; flashing forth bolts of lightning, He routed them.
16 The beds of the seas appeared, the foundations of the world were laid bare at the rebuke of the Lord.
Wow. Frightening isn’t it! The earth writhing in pain, reeling and rocking and shaking. Yet this all happened in King David’s time. At the sound of his voice, God responded by shaking up his entire world. This actually happened! If one understands this, then it should come as no surprise that indeed, moving mountains is not just only applied to figures of speech, but actual events that can possibly occur... if one only had faith the size of a mustard seed.
Now, I read from the book of Psalm 46:
3 We will not fear, therefore, though the earth be shaken and the mountains plunge into the seas,
4 though its waters foam and roar, though the mountains quake and totter. For the Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob, our stronghold.
Look, another piece of evidence. The mountains did get plunged into the seas. Who wrote this piece? Whoever did, clearly saw the great wonders and marvels of God’s works. Frightening, indeed.
From the above verses, I can see that God works with nature. There are natural elements that represent the presence of God. When God is present, the earth trembles. At the sound of his voice the earth melts away. I spot a strong correlation between the forces of nature and the force of God. He does mighty things with the elements of the seas and the winds and the earth. Who can fathom such things?
So far, I understand that faith does, indeed have a size and I have been given a certain amount or measure such that I know when I see mountains being plunged into the oceans and mulberry trees being uprooted to be planted into the great seas, then faith has been increased to the amount equivalent to the size of a mustard seed. But I have a follow up question. Perhaps I may start to see these events actually occurring, but how do I know that I have the size of faith equal to these events? I mean, after all, I live in a big world, while residing on a tiny island. Even if I see the marvels of this great world, what guarantees me that my own faith currency has grown? I pin this thought for the time being. I press on.
I cite another detail that seeks to link nature’ s movement with the activities taken by the children of God.
I read from the book of Revelation Chapter 8:
3 Another angel came and stood before the altar of incense with a golden censer. He was given much incense to be offered with the prayers of all the holy ones, on the golden altar before the throne;
4 and the cloud of incense rose with the prayers of the holy ones from the hands of the angels to the presence of God.
5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with burning coals from the altar, and threw them on the earth; and there came thunder, lightning and earthquakes.
From this reading, I notice the works of the angels. Angels seem to be the connecting piece that helps man to complete his faith in God. Man speaks, angels collect man’s speech (that is, when man prays) and present it to God and in return, God delivers through his angels. I look for further evidence.
I read from the book of Daniel Chapter 10:
10 Then a hand touched me and made my hands and knees shake.
11 The man said to me, “Daniel, you are highly respected. Pay attention to my words. Stand up, because I’ve been sent to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up, trembling.
12 He told me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel. God has heard everything that you said ever since the first day you decided to humble yourself in front of your God so that you could learn to understand things. I have come in response to your prayer.
13 The commander of the Persian kingdom opposed me for 21 days. But then Michael, one of the chief commanders, came to help me because I was left alone with the kings of Persia.
14 I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the last days, because the vision is about times still to come.
Additionally, I read from the book of Tobit Chapter 3:
11 At that moment she stretched forth her hands towards the window and prayed saying, You are blessed, O Lord my God, and blessed is your Holy and Glorious Name throughout the ages. May all your works praise you forever.
12 Lord I have turned my eyes and my face towards You.
13 Command that I be set free from the earth and that I may hear no more insults.
16 The Lord in his glory heard the prayer of Tobit and of Sara
17 and He sent Raphael to heal them both- to give back his sight to Tobit and to give Sara, the daughter of Ragouel, to Tobit’s Tobias, as his wife...
Now, if man only understands his role as a speaking one, and he also understands that angels play huge roles in the fulfilment of God’s works, then man can certainly believe in what he says. For the angels are the workers and the works that are being done are being done in faith, according to God’s Will and perfect plan. For man to just speak in prayer and he thinks that it ends there, well... it would be easy for him to not believe what he is saying. But if man gets some insight into the mysterious works of God, this may cause him to actually believe his words and to trust that works are being backed by his words.
Man must first find belief in his words. If indeed, man believes because he understands the many other ‘invisible’ elements that are at play when he opens his mouth, he may decide to speak very little. Few words may come out of his mouth for he has great fear for the words leaving his mouth. A man that speaks with great faith is a very powerful man. A man who speaks with great faith knows to be careful with his mouth, for he knows his mouth to be a very powerful weapon.
When Christ said, ‘you could say’ or ‘you can say’ from the books of Luke and Matthew, He was actually meaning it. What one says, once said in strong faith, is a very powerful statement. But it must be backed by some level of faith. At least the size just equivalent to that of a mustard seed.
By Christ revealing man’s ability to speak and to speak up in faith, the Father expects that man grows his faith to at least reach this point; the size equivalent to a mustard seed. Otherwise Christ would not have made this statement. My Father expects my faith to grow. He expects nothing less. It is in faith, then that I learn to speak as my Father speaks, so that I have enough faith to complete the works that my Father has already started in me. By my Father’s words, am I able to grow my faith the way He expected of me. My Father expects faith to grow in me, by his very Word, for He has more than enough faith in his own words. His words alone, allow the kind of faith that He expects to see grow in me.
I read from the book of Romans Chapter 10:
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith comes by hearing the word of God over and over again. God has placed enough faith in his word that just by listening to his word, I can receive his faith. By listening to his word, over and over again, his very word seeps into my heart. He expects that one day, his word will grow in me so much that carries a faith that I actually believe in his word, such that my faith grows to the size of being able to move mountains. He expects nothing less from each of his children. For He himself is providing his children with that measure of faith. He himself is doing it and He is doing it in faith. He is doing it, because He believes that much in his word. So, if He believes that much in his own word, then who are we to not believe? Okay... cold harsh stares being thrown my way. I break into silence.
I think for the moment...
So, now I gain respite. For a many a years, I was so concerned about how much faith I carried within myself. I thought to myself, I must have so little, for I carry so much fear within me. I gain some rest from these thoughts. For now, I know that faith is not an isolated act that man does, but man actually relies on God for his faith. It is God who gives man his faith. And He gives man his faith through his Word.
It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh cannot help. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. (John 6:63)
For the Word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword. It pierces to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and judges the intentions and thoughts of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
Through time being spent with my Father, He is able to work his faith in me and I am able to grow my belief in Him as my faith grows. As faith grows, belief in Him grows.
Jesus replied, “You believe because you see me, don’t you? Happy are those who have not seen and believe.” (John 20:29)
The above verse actually speaks to the definition of faith; believing in the unseen. As my Father grows my faith, it causes me to believe more and more in his word, even without the signs and wonders. Though, without the signs, faith may potentially grow to the point where signs are indeed being revealed. But by faith’s primary definition, one should never rely solely on faith’s measure by just the signs and wonders and marvels that he can see. Faith is an invisible dimension and everything else around it should be kept in equal manner as one works to build his faith. Think invisible! And keep thinking this way, then one will never run into trouble when working to grow his faith.
I read from the book of Revelation Chapter 13:
13 It works great wonders, even making fire descend from heaven to earth, in the sight of all.
14. Through these great wonders which it is able to do on behalf of the beast, it deceives the inhabitants of the earth...
I read from the book of Matthew Chapter 24:
23 Then, if anyone says to you: ‘Look! The Messiah is here! He is there!, do not believe it.
24 For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders so great that they would deceive even God’s chosen people, if that were possible.
25 See, I have told you everything ahead of time.
I also reflect on the following verse.
Truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we witness to the things we have seen, but you don’t accept our testimony. If you don’t believe when I speak of earthly things, what then, when I speak to you of heavenly things? (John 3:11,12)
There is yet another thought that I am itching to express. I want to let this thought sink in for a bit. Man does not make his own faith. No. The type of faith that Christ was speaking about, never can it be made by man. Man can make money, the currency on which he operates his life. But never can he produce the type of faith expected of God. It is God Himself who grants us the type of faith that He expects from us. He is doing it. Not man. So, now for a challenging thought. If man does not make his own faith, then why are measures even given to man, and why does faith’s size vary from man to man.
But I argue here, that man’s variability in the size of faith that he carries is in proportion to the time that He spends with his Maker. The more time that man has with his Maker, the more faith his Maker can pour into Him.
At this time Jesus went out into the hills to pray, spending the whole night in prayer with God. (Luke 6:12)
The more time that man has spent in God’s Word, the more He is able to receive all that is being poured into his spirit. God works faith into man, once man decides to pour his time into God. My Father anticipates meeting up with his children so that He can pour that much into their spirit and He expects that which is being poured into the spirit to grow. He expects nothing less.
So, just as one clocks into the office to measure his time of productivity at work, so too God measures the hours that his children clock into the office of his Sanctuary. I would conclude then, that this is how man works for his faith. He spends time with his Father. This is all He asks of us. He wants to meet with his children. But it is by His doing, that He draws his children close to Himself.
So, now I crystallize a few of my floating thoughts this moment.
_Faith may perhaps be viewed as a currency in God’s Kingdom.
_I seek the Father for my faith earnings.
_I spend time with Him and He gives me some measure of faith in return.
_The more time I spend with my Father, the more I am able to earn his credits of faith, the more I come to believe in His word. And the more I come to believe in His word, the more faith credits I receive.
_My Father is not taking any counterfeits; He is not accepting man-made profits. He accepts the faith credits that He Himself gave to His children.
_My Father is the Great Accountant, He keeps my score and checks and balances. Though He is a very merciful God.
_My Father is also my treasurer. When I need something, I ask Him in faith and He delivers.
_God’s angels are transactional workers. They make sure that God’s Word is being executed, and then later signed, stamped and sealed by God Himself.
