“The one who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and the one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.” Luke. 16:10.
A young preacher once approached Dr. Frederick B. Meyer, a Baptist preacher and a contemporary and friend of D. L. Moody. He asked how he could one day become as influential and well-known as Dr. Meyer. Dr. Meyer responded, “Don’t waste your time waiting and longing for large opportunities which may never come. But faithfully handle the little things that are always claiming your attention.” Leadership is earned, built and cultivated in small steps, with small things done successfully every day.
Jesus says, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much” Luke 16:10. According to our Savior, little things can make a significant impact on the big picture. For instance, in the parable of the mustard seed in Matt.13:31–32, indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Don’t underestimate the power of little things. Jesus took a little lunch from a little boy and fed thousands. With a little jawbone, Samson slew an army. David took a little stone and brought down a giant. With just a little faith, great things can be accomplished. If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to a mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move. Matt. 17:20. You neglecting faithfulness in the little things can lead to big trouble. As much as David brought down a giant with something little, a small indiscretion — a lingering lustful look — turned into adultery, deception, and even murder. He lost four of his sons and nearly the kingdom over something that started with a little look at Bathsheba taking a bath.

DECLARATION:
Dear Abba Father, I thank You for another day, I declare by faith that I walk in divine favour. I have preferential treatment, supernatural increase, supernatural restoration, increased assets, great victories, recognition and prominence, and policies and rules are changed in my favour. Doors are now open for me that men say are impossible to open. I walk in the unprecedented favour of God. No obstacle can stop me. I increase in influence and favour with God and with men. In Jesus name, amen.
