Have you ever wondered what Jesus meant when He said, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness." "Kingdom" was written as a result of asking God this very question. In my forty years as a Christian this truth has never been answered for me, but it seemed to be at the top of the prayer list we were given. Jesus said to pray, "Your kingdom come." This book reveals what comes to us when this prayer is answered, the kingdom's impact on our lives, and it's significance in scripture to our lives. When the church takes hold of the kingdom her voice will take on a new level of relevance to the world. So we pray, "Your kingdom come." As we respond to Jesus command to seek first the kingdom and to pray, "Your Kingdom come," the Lord will add its reality to our lives. Believing His promises enables us to have staying power until will we receive the fullness of the kingdom.
