You have enough faith

Matt 17:20
“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, 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.”

Mark 4:31-32
“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: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.”

Have you ever prayed that God should increase your faith because you believe your faith is too small to get the job done? Let me encourage you today and say you have enough faith in you to get the job done, have your needs met, heal you of that infirmity. How can you say that; you ask?
I did not say it, Jesus said it. He said if you have faith as small as mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place. 
Jesus said, the mountain will move! He did not stop there, He went further to say something more incredulous to believe: He said, “and NOTHING shall be impossible unto you”. Now do you know the size of a mustard seed? It is said it is so small, hardly can it be seen with the naked eye. Now how small do you think your faith is? 
No matter how small, Jesus said even if it is so small that you hardly feel you have got it, with that size of faith if you will say to the mountain be removed, Jesus said it will move! Let me proffer some reasons why such faith will move mountains.

Firstly, because it is a faith that is rooted in God and is directed towards God.

Secondly, it is because, the scripture says that when that mustard seed size faith is planted, it does not remain the same size, it grows and becomes greater than what it is planted against. 
That is, when you put your mustard seed size faith against the mountain, it keeps growing until it becomes larger than the mountain, and that is when the mountain moves. But when you keep looking at the smallness of your faith and because of its size you do not put it against anything, it remains small and never gets anything done. So, take your faith today and speak to the mountain in your life, and watch it obey you.
