We are Fearfully and Wonderfully made

By: Ko Pantro

Make yourself available and be faithful in little things.
Have big vision, but be faithful in little things.
Have big vision, but still live in reality

Luke 16:10 : "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."
- Little things determine the big things you'll get ( your future)

Matthew 13:31-34 : He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches." He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough." Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.

Mustard seed : the largest of the garden plant but it started as the smallest of all seeds

1. Don't despise the small capabilities you have right now

Genesis 8:22 : "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease."

2. Once you stop sowing, you'll stop growing

Why mustard seed and not other seeds?
Because it can grow to be either a big tree or a small tree.
Depending on your faith -> you can be either big or small

God gives room for our faith. According to your faith, where do you want to bring your seed?
- - - Never despise your small beginning - - -

Phillippians 4:19 : And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Yeast : a tiny amount of it will either destroy or improve the dough.
Little thoughts building up to a big effect. It's our own choice to decide which one we want to go for, destroying or improving.

Maybe we have failed in the past but we are still the sons of God.
Whenever you fial, go back to God and repent

Romans 8:15 : For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba,Father."

3. Guard your heart, your eyes and your mind
- Yeast of Procrastination -> Prepare for the coming waves, do not procrastinate in your preparation.
