Exodus 23:30
By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
The kingdom of God advances little by little like leaven through the lump. The earth is inherited bit by bit as God gives and guides the advance of His kingdom.
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.
God's vision for Christians is not a corner of the market or an enclave cloistered in the catacombs. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. Jesus said that all authority in heaven and on earth was His and He wasn't overstating the matter. He was not inflating His credentials or massaging His ego. He wasn't boasting beyond His means or overshooting His target. The world is His and He will have it all. And He has promised to give the whole shebang to the meek who through faith believe Him at His word.
Luke 12:32
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
