DAILY SPRING DEVOTIONAL. Sunday, April 13th, 2025.
FOUNDATION SCRIPTURE:
◄ Matthew 17:20 ►
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move,' and it will move."
HOLY SPIRIT, HAVE YOUR WAY.
TOPIC: FAITH,THE HOLY EARTHQUAKE INSIDE A MUSTARD SEED.
Some people have this false spiritual breakthrough mentality, that it requires extraordinary levels of faith to breakthrough.
See this ; You may feel your faith is fragile, wavering, barely noticable. Yet Jesus Christ says even that mustard-seed faith, when properly directed, contains mountain-moving potential. THE POWER DOESN'T LIE IN THE SIZE OF OUR FAITH BUT IN THE SIZE OF OUR GOD.
The power isn’t in the SIZE of your faith but in the SUBSTANCE of it. A mustard seed doesn’t look like much, until it touches the soil. Then it explodes with silent audacity and authority, pushing through dirt, darkness, and delay. So does your faith.
You see WEAKNESS; God sees IGNITION. Mountains don’t move because you shout, they move because SOMETHING GREATER THAN THE MOUNTAIN LIVES IN YOUR WHISPER OF BELIEFS. The mustard seed teaches us: it’s not about loud declarations, but rooted conviction.
Jesus Christ wasn’t exaggerating in Matthew 17:20. He was simply revealing a Kingdom key: *Tiny faith in The Hands of The LIMITLESS GOD yields impossible outcomes.
One seed of real faith, planted in prayer and worship, watered with persistence, and aimed at the immovable, can shift the unshiftable. It's not about ENOUGH faith; it’s about GENUINE faith. Even if your hands tremble, speak anyway. Even if your hope flickers, sow anyway. FAITH DOESN'T DENY THE MOUNTAIN, IT COMMANDS IT.
WHAT MAKES MUSTARD SEED FAITH SO POTENT?
1) It's alive. Unlike a pebble of similar size, the seed contains life within. True faith, however small, is never static, it's dynamic, growing, alive with possibility. As Paul writes in Romans 1:17, "For in The Gospel The Righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith."
2) Mustard seed faith is expectant. Though tiny, it anticipates transformation. The seed doesn't question its capacity to become a tree; it simply fulfills its purpose when planted in good soil. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as "confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Even small faith looks beyond current limitations to future possibilities.
3) Mustard seed faith is persistent. The seed doesn't grow overnight, it pushes against resistance, slowly but steadily breaking through soil into sunlight. James encourages this perseverance: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance" (James 1:2-3).
The MOUNTAINS in our lives take many forms ; chronic illness, financial hardship, broken relationships, addictive patterns, seemingly impossible circumstances. Jesus Christ doesn't promise these challenges will instantly disappear, but He assures us that nothing, absolutely nothing is beyond the reach of even small faith properly placed in The INFINITE GOD.
Today, don't despise your small faith or compare it to others who seem spiritually stronger. Instead, plant your mustard seed where it belongs, in the fertile soil of God's Character and promises. Then watch God's power at work in and through you. Amen.
Hallelujah!!
Do have an awesomely blessed day!

PRAY NOW 👇
Heavenly Father, I come to You in need of Your grace. I repent of my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died for me and rose again. Come into my heart, LORD Jesus Christ, and be my LORD and Savior. Amen. ( Acts 16:31)
*Take any song of worship or praise as you are led and glorify God.*
GENERAL PRAYER SHOTS.
1) Prayer of repentance and forgiveness
"People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy." Proverbs 28:13.
Confess your sins and shortcomings. Ask God for forgiveness.
2) LORD of impossible possibilities, thank You for valuing quality over quantity when it comes to faith. I confess that my faith often appears small and inadequate for the mountains I face. But from today, according to Your Word, I will sow and continue to sow, in Jesus Christ's Name.
3) Great and Mighty God, today hlelp me release the false belief that I need perfect faith before You can work powerfully in my life. Teach me to direct even my smallest faith toward Your unlimited power rather than my limited understanding, in Jesus Christ's Mighty Name.
*Seal the answers to your
prayers with The Blood of Christ and The Fire of God.
*Give God thanks.*
