Parables of the Kingdom Series - The Parable of the Leaven

Pastor Adekoye Sanni

Matthew 13:33 - Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

In this message, Pastor Koye challenged the church on what part we need to play in spreading real gospel in our world today - true joy is found in sharing the goodness of God with others, spreading the 'leaven' of the word of God. Also, we are to beware of the leaven of hypocrisy and malice. As individuals, we need to be ourselves and not allow the enemy to hide his devices in our lives by being hypocritical about what we have done - as soon as you are able to 'tell on yourself' you have broken the power the sin had on you and you will be able to move forward and the grace of God will be made available to you. But as long as you are pretending and hiding behind one finger, the enemy will continue to overpower you.

Always remember - no matter how many times you fall down, pick yourself up and keep going...until you commit to keep going, you will always entertain the option of quitting after a failure.
