So which one is it that we need to have: A greater faith, or one as small as a mustard seed? вЂњBecause on the one hand, Jesus told the disciples that the reason that they could not cast out the spirit from the boy was that they had so little faith.вЂќ In the same breath, Jesus told them that as long as they had faith as small as a mustard seed, they could move mountains. вЂњThis verse is a paradox,вЂќ noted Pastor Aries. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, вЂMove from here to there,вЂ™ and it will move. It reads, вЂњHe replied, вЂњBecause you have so little faith.

City Harvest ChurchвЂ™s executive pastor, Aries Zulkarnain delivered a word on the weekend of Jan 18 and 19 on what Jesus really meant when he spoke about having faith the size of a mustard seed.Д¬hristians often go to Matthew 17:20 when they speak about faith, yet the verse seems to contradict itself. Aries Zulkarnian unpacked this seeming paradox during last weekendвЂ™s service.ДЄt the beginning of the year, many believers find themselves asking God to вЂњincrease their faithвЂќ for the new year, so that they can experience greater things in their lives. Jesus once chided his disciples about having so little faith, in the next breath saying that mustard seed-sized faith is enough to move mountains.
