If there was nothing but a single beam of light in the universe, or one star or one flower, tree, bee, or seed .... any one of these things
would conclusively prove the existence of a creator. One seed has within itself the sleeping, hidden, but infinite power to produce a bush, tree or other plant with hundreds or thousands of new seed of its exact kind. And each of those seeds have that same power so that one seed compounds itself, in one year, to become dozens or hundreds or thousands more seed like itself. Just short years later that one seed has become billions more seed, then trillions and quadrillions. So how did that marvelous miracle happen from within a single, tiny seed? There is no logical answer except a Creator... God. To say it just accidentally happened is to ignore a miracle as big as the universe and mark a person as spiritually and logically blind.
Mustard seed faith also has within it that same kind of divine, exponential, power. "Jesus said unto them ... 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."
So our Creator put His own limitless power in mustard seed faith which he put in the tiny mustard seed. True faith is, indeed, limitless ... though it seem small. It is limitless in the since it can move mountains, claim God's promises, call forth miracles and literally change an eternal soul's destiny from hell to heaven. It is also limitless in the longevity of its effects. An answer to a single prayer of faith does not end with God's fulfilling that prayer, but the first person affected.... affects others and they still others and they still others. It is like that beginning little mustard seed being sown, and a mustard tree springs up and grows large .... filled with thousands or millions of other seeds, and each of those seeds, themselves become trees full of seeds. "It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth...." Mk.4:31. It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree...." Lk.13:19. The same thing happens with mustard seed faith. It lives and passes on and lives again and again and again throughout eternity.
Even so, it is with Jesus Christ; He lived His life on earth in faith and died, rose again and gave his eternal life to each of His disciples who in turn gave the gospel message of life to others and they to others. It was that process which has grown into a forest of Christians all over the world and is still spreading and growing and sowing mustard seed faith till Jesus returns to take home His harvest of believers.
Jesus spoke of this mysterious power of proliferation in Matt. 13: 18 & 23...
"Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower ....He that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."
If you truly have faith, though it seem small, sow it and keep sowing it untill the Master of the sower comes to take you home.
