It is John the Baptist who was approached by his disciples who were concerned that more people were going to Jesus,and not to John. He replied,' A person can receive only what is given them from God'. Most of my ministry was with small churches ,small groups, nothing very dramatic, but it is important to remember, indeed very important,as to what God intrusts to us. He give Billy Graham a world wide ministry,and there are ministers who minister to massive churches,but there many who minister to the few, In Matthew 10 v 42, we read'And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded', One writer says,'The smallest act of giving 'that's it, the words of a song comes to mind, 'If just a cup of water I place within your hand, then just a cup of water is all that I demand'. ( Words by Ira F. Stanphill ) What has He placed in your hand?, a sick loved one,your children, your husband ,your wife, some small seemingly insignificant task,that's the cup of water He has placed in your hand,be faithful in it and you will receive that well done faithful servant, from your Saviour.
