The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)

 The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate.

Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to anybody else. Don’t compare your ministry, business, network, or alliance to anybody else. Keep growing. You’re not going to tear anybody else down; keep growing. Even though the mustard seed starts as the smallest seed, it grows into a big tree, so big that the birds come and perch on its branches.

Just keep growing. Do not talk about other people and what they are doing; you just keep growing. You just keep doing what God told you to do, saying what God told you to say, and going where God told you to go. Jesus said that the kingdom is about growth. It is like when you put yeast into dough and leaven into the bread.

You don’t need a lot of it, just a little bit, and it continues growing. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. That yeast you put in goes all the way through the dough. Don’t try to inundate people with the kingdom. Don’t try to overwhelm them with the Word. Just give them a little bit, and that Word will take root in their heart, and it will grow. Just give them a little bit, taste them, and see that the Lord is good.

You don’t have to bombard people with the Word or try to force-feed them. Just give them a little bit and watch them grow. As newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the Word, they may grow thereby. Let them get a taste of it and get hungry for more. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

The kingdom is about growth, and I am encouraging somebody to keep growing because we will grow into more in 2024. We are going to grow into more money, we are going to grow into more opportunities, we are going to grow into more resources, and we are going to grow into more actions. Just keep growing, and you will outgrow things. Your neck will become so fat from growth that the yokes of bondage will not be able to hold you anymore because your neck is too fat, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. You will outgrow some things if you keep praying and worshiping God.

You will outgrow some things if you keep reading, studying, and researching the Scriptures. You will outgrow some stuff if you keep engaging in thanksgiving, praise, and worship. You will outgrow some things if you keep witnessing and sharing your testimony with others. If you keep fellowshipping with safe and positive people, you will outgrow some things. If you keep engaging in stillness and movement, silence and sound, you will keep outgrowing some things. You will outgrow some things if you keep engaging in meditation, mindfulness, and breathing. If you keep engaging in journaling and writing, you will outgrow some things. The kingdom of God is about growth, so I invite you to grow to the next dimension.
