Faith Without Limit by Chmn. John Ngugi -(8th Mar 2026)

In Matthew 17:19, The disciples ask Jesus privately, "Why could we not cast it out?". This question followed their failed attempt to heal a boy possessed by a demon. (Matthew 17:20)Jesus identifies the core issue as their "little faith" (or "unbelief" in some translations). According to this passage, faith is defined by the following principles: 1. The Quality of Faith (The Mustard Seed) Jesus uses the mustard seed—one of the smallest seeds—as a metaphor for genuine faith. Quality over Quantity: The emphasis is not on the amount of faith but on its authenticity and object. Potential for Growth: Like a mustard seed that grows into a large tree, true faith is living and has the potential for immense growth. Dependence on God: A mustard seed is totally dependent on its environment to grow; similarly, effective faith relies entirely on God's power rather than human effort. 2. The Power of Faith (Moving Mountains) Jesus states that even microscopic, genuine faith can move "this mountain". Overcoming the Impossible: "Moving mountains" is a proverbial expression for overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Divine Sufficiency: The promise that "nothing will be impossible for you" signifies that faith connects a believer to the limitless power of God. 3. Obstacles to Effective Faith The disciples' failure revealed specific deficiencies that hindered their spiritual authority: Self-Reliance: They likely relied on their past successes or the authority previously granted to them (Matthew 10:1) rather than a present, active dependence on Christ. Lack of Spiritual Discipline: In parallel accounts (such as Mark 9:29), Jesus notes that "this kind" of spiritual challenge requires prayer and fasting to align the believer’s heart with God’s power.
