In these days it seems that God has put us in the darkest situations so that we may demonstrate His dominion. It is like a jewler who places his dimond on a black back drop so it may be seen clearer. So it is with us in this dark world that we may display His glourious body the church and its people. where sin abounded grace abounded much more (Rom 5:20).
Luke 13:20-21
"To what shall i liken the Kingdom of God? it is like leaven which a women took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.
Leaven: an element that produces an altering or transforming influence.
The kingdom is the realm of the Spirit of God demenstrating the Lordship of Jesus and its Spirit impowered life that has the affect of leaven in a dark world.
we must arise a generation of Joseph's and Daniel's who acted as leaven and were put in positions of infulence because of the altering and transforming influence they carried given by God. These man did not overcome hurdles because they were great. But were victorious because of there devotion to the One who is great. Both of these man were in the positions of influence becasue of there serving hearts towards God and people. In the kingdom the greatest is the servant.
