Jesus loves to tell parables. He begins many of his parables with the words “The Kingdom is God can be compared to . . .” a tiny mustard seed, a bit of yeast buried in a mound of flour, wheat scattered on the ground. The end results of this tiny kingdom is the largest of all shrubs, the yeast affecting the whole mass of flour, a wheat harvest of 30, 60 even 90 fold. The message is clear the Kingdom of God when placed within humans, and given even a little encouragement - grows at amazing rates. How about you? Has the Kingdom of God been planted within you? If so, where is the amazing harvest the Kingdom inevitably yields? If you do not see the harvest, what are you doing to stifle the growth? Re-read the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, Mark 4, Luke 8 – that may help you answer the question. The kingdom of God – Is it multiplying in and around you?
