Faithful?

Faithful?

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 KJV

Is there any one who ever entrusted great riches and responsibility to someone without first testing and proving the person? Can we give sensitive posts to someone who is known not to have control over his/her tongue? It is both a spiritual and an earthly principle that a man must first be tested, and proven to be reliable, before s/he can be given resources to manage. When a man has not been able to rule his own house well, with his family honouring and fearing God, how would you expect such a man to be able to effectively manage the affairs of a community or society? 

It all starts from the little things. We must not despise the days of small and humble beginnings. We want the big stuff, but we have no clear idea what the big stuff will demand from us. We want the glory, but nothing of the gore that must come before. We crave the testimonies, but we want nothing of the test that must come before. How can I grow if I try to shortchange the process? How can I be all that God intends if I do not submit myself to His process? God cannot be mocked; I only get from God that which lines up with His principles. 

His principle is that I must be content with starting small. It does not also end there, but I must also keep my heart focused on the God who is able to turn the small into the massive. I cannot start in him, and then think I can continue on my own. That is why sometimes a man who is given a little is stuck with that little because he cannot be trusted with much. I need to ask: Does any of the above describe me? Only the Truth can show me to myself, so that I can take the right steps to correct what is wrong. Can God trust me with both the little and the much? God's time of favour is here.
