E talk again say, “Wetin I go compare di Kingdom of God with? E be like yeast wey one woman take mix with three measures of wheat flour until di whole dough rise.” Luke 13:20-21
Yeast na something wey dey amaze person. E small well-well, but e get strong effect for dough. Yeast dey work slowly, for way wey almost be like miracle. Small-small, di dough dey rise and change. Children dey always enjoy to watch this kind thing when dem dey make bread.
Na so di Gospel suppose dey work for our life. Right now, na first of all for our heart di Kingdom of God dey alive. No be often our heart dey truly turn to God within one day or one moment. True-true, every day and every moment dey important, and all of us fit point to some powerful moments when we turn to God. But di way our heart dey turn to God be more like di way yeast dey make dough rise. Normally, our heart dey turn to God small-small and step by step. We dey allow di Holy Spirit to take control of our life more and more deeply, and as we dey do so, we dey grow deeper and deeper for holiness, just as dough dey rise slowly but surely.
Today, think deeply about this picture of yeast wey dey make dough rise. You see am as picture of your soul? You dey see how di Holy Spirit dey work for your life small-small? You dey see how you dey change slowly but steadily? We hope say di answer na “Yes.” Even though our heart no dey always turn to God overnight, this turning must continue without stopping, so that di soul fit move forward reach di place wey God don prepare for am.
Lord, I truly want become holy. I want make You change me small-small every day. Help me make I allow You to change me every moment of my life, so that I fit continue to follow di path wey You don set for me. Jesus, na You I trust.
