Like the works from the old Gospel hymn:
Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith.
Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith.
You don't need a whole lot.
Just use what you've got.
Faith, faith, faith, just a little bit of faith.
A little bit of belief can lead to a little bit of faith. With a little bit of faith, the Bible tells us that, eventually, we can move mountains. Jesus told us this:
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, 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.
My good friend, Bro. Al Alcina, tells it like this. That mustard seed sized faith may start out looking small, but if it is planted in the right place, and watered and taken care of, it will grow. That faith will grow until it is such a big mustard plant that the birds of the air will build their nests in it.
That faith will have a good effect on others. Furthermore, that mustard plant will eventually flower and produce seeds that will make more mustard plants. The faith will first grow in an individual, then it will have a good effect on others, and finally, it will reproduce, so that others have the same powerful faith.
If an individual develops his faith after this manner, there will eventually be an army of faith filled Christians -- and army large enough to move any mountain that gets in the way of its campaign to spread the Gospel.
