After proclaiming that God's Kingdom had come near, Jesus died on the cross. This is hard to reconcile with what Jesus announced at the start of his ministry. It can only be understood when we realize the relationship between the Kingdom of God and his death. Jesus said flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God, but only those who are born of the Sprit, and for this reason Jesus had to die on the cross. Jesus explained this to Nicodemus that only those who are born of the Holy Spirit can enter into the Kingdom of God. He came into the world to make it happen, because without the cross of Jesus there is no fulfillment of the Kingdom. The proclamation of Jesus, his works and his life have strong bearing on his mission. Jesus proclaimed that the Kingdom of God had come near. He healed the sick, fed the hungry and gave hope to the poor. He lived a very basic life with his disciples and had no earthly possessions. This was the Kingdom that Jesus proclaimed. It gave the power back to the people, it gave them dignity and a life of joy and contentment. It was about the wellbeing of the whole community and where the leaders served others. Jesus explained the mysteries of his Kingdom through many parables, which turned the whole concept of the kingdom on its head and only a few were able to understand it then, as it is now. It was a new and unique concept for the disciples to grasp, but after his resurrection when he was with them for forty days, Jesus explained everything to them as recorded in the book of Acts. He instructed them to remain in Jerusalem till they were baptized by the Holy Spirit. Their empowerment which is usually understood in terms of Peter's bold preaching of the gospel was in fact more than that. It was to give them the courage to leave their earthly possessions and relationships and accept the other believers as their new family, where God lived with them and looked after their daily needs, spiritual as well as material. This was a very bold step for them to take. It was more daring than standing up to preach before a large crowd on the day of the Pentecost. The first church in Jerusalem became a place where God's Kingdom had come. They rejoiced together as they shared everything and God did mighty works among them. This would not have been possible, if they hadn’t left their own families and possession to join the new community of God’s people. The church lost the initial impetus that the early Christians had, in the way they lived and preached the good news of the Kingdom, especially during the post-Constantine period when the church leaders were seduced by the wealth that came from the state treasury. The way Jesus, the apostles and the early Christians had lived was completely forgotten or overlooked. The sixteenth century reformation tried to recover some of the important aspect the Christianity but it did not go far enough. At present the church has become its own worst enemy. Some churches are trying to destroy the very foundation of our salvation by denying the existence of historical Jesus. In others the faith in Jesus has failed to translate into a living reality. It judges the world harshly and does not reflect the values of God's Kingdom in its daily life. We need to reaffirm the apostolic faith and the community life of the early church. And become a community of God’s redeemed people who follow the principles of his Kingdom. This is the true life and witness of the church.

"What is the Gospel!?" A basic question, right? As those caring deeply about fulfilling the Great Commission, it is necessary to ask what message we are bearing among unreached and unengaged peoples. The Gospel is commonly reduced in its scope, appearing vague. Is our message consistent with the biblical, New Testament "Gospel," culturally relevant to the hearer - or something altogether foreign to Scripture and hearers alike? This book addresses this crucial question through providing a helpful five phase roadmap for communicating God's message, the Gospel of the Kingdom, among all peoples.

This monograph describes key strongholds that keep cities in bondage and lead to problems such as illegal business activities, murders, and civil disturbances.

UMMARY Kingdom nuggets presents a quick look into the kingdom of God according to the teachings of Jesus and his disciples. Jesus spent more time in proclaiming the kingdom of God more than any other subjects during his ministry on earth. His top priority was to restore the kingdom of God back to the life of humanity. Hence, Jesus invited people of all walks of life to enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God to ordinary people including, fishermen, outcast, criminals, tax collectors as well as to prominent people such as the pharisees, lawyers, politicians and wealthy businessmen. Furthermore, Jesus conveyed his message of the kingdom of God to diverse ethnic, gender, cultural, national and age groups. As the book reveals, Jesus emphasized the universality of the kingdom of God through his sermons and parables in every village and town he went. Equally and importantly, the disciples of Jesus took the urgent message of the kingdom of God to the nations of the world where Jesus did not reach with the message of his kingdom. The book takes us on a brief Biblical journey, beginning from the origin of the kingdom of God on earth, its temporary suspension on earth, its restoration and its final consummation on earth.

The fruit of many decades of study and teaching, 'The Kingdom of God' provides an impressive, systematic treatment of the doctrine of the Kingdom of God. It is a comprehensive review of this crucial symbol, as well as a careful analysis of its meaning, and a creative interpretation of the Kingdom motif for the church and Christians in our age. 'The Kingdom of God begins by analyzing the background of this idea in Hebrew scripture and tradition, and in the preaching of Jesus. Fuellenbach explores how this elusive phrase presents a specific, comprehensive view of reality, and a goal for transforming the world. In Fuellenbach's reading, the Kingdom forms the core of Christian faith and the reference point of all theology, spirituality, and apostolic activity. Fuellenbach pays special attention to the relationships among Kingdom, Church, and World, arguing that with the Kingdom, Jesus proclaimed a vision that embraces God, humankind, and the whole of creation in the single most comprehensive vision of reality imaginable. 'The Kingdom of God' is balanced and nuanced in its scholarship, but also vigorous and courageous in taking positions sure to provoke debate. For example, Fuellenbach argues that the word Kingdom is to be preferred over the word Reign, despite critiques that find the word problematic in its patriarchal connotations. Designed for and tested in classrooms worldwide, The Kingdom of God will be particularly useful in both scripture and theology courses. It holds much food for thought for religious educators, pastoral workers, clergy, and others who wish for a clear, systematic understanding of Jesus' vision of the Kingdom now and to come.

We all pray "Thy kingdom come", but do we understand what we are saying and what we are praying for? Are we clear about the relationship between the Kingdom of God and the Christian Church? What is the relationship between the history of salvation and the manifestation of the Kingdom of God on earth? Who is the real Bride and Wife of the Lamb referred to in Revelation 19 and 21? Is the ultimate destiny of humankind heaven or the earth? And what are the obligations of, and challenges to, 21st century Christians in proclaiming the Kingdom?Uninfluenced by any denominational theology, Professor Emmanuel Ngara believes the way to understand and unpack Jesus' message on the Kingdom of God is to let the Holy Spirit enlighten us and reveal the truth of the Voice of God to us as we go through the pages of the Bible. Guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit, he has clarified the meaning and importance of the concept of the Kingdom of God in Jesus' message, and has shown the various phases of the Kingdom as revealed in the relevant Scripture passages from Genesis through the Gospels to the Book of Revelation. Learning to Lead for the Kingdom presents a fresh, enlightening and challenging exposition of "the Kingdom of God."

(3 chapters taken from God's Kind by the same author and replaces a previous booklet entitled: The Completion Gospel) Jesus said: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Mat 24:14). The last verse in Acts says Paul was "proclaiming the Kingdom of God." The next verse in the Bible begins Paul's epistle of Romans, where he preached the "gospel of God" to the believers in Rome (Rom. 1:1). The entirety of this epistle is the gospel of the Kingdom. Most Christians are only familiar with the systematic development of half of the Kingdom message (Romans 1-8), which brilliantly highlights personal salvation by grace through faith. However, without experiencing the systematic progression in the second half of Romans, many believers unnecessarily struggle in weaknesses. They fail to recognize how the destructiveness of division in the Body of Christ has negatively affected their journey. Jesus declared: "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls" (Luke 11:17b, ESV). Therefore, the Kingdom message includes the gospel of peace described in Romans 9-16. This aspect of the gospel is needed to unite divided believers together in love and fellowship. The breach between diverse believers needs healing: those excluding others and those excluded can be one in fellowship. This oneness is needed for the Kingdom of God to come on earth. Romans is a roadmap for all believers to "seek first the Kingdom of God" so He will bless them with a life free from anxiety: "...all these things (life's necessities) shall be added to you" (Matt. 6:33). The finality of accepting the gospel of the Kingdom in Romans results in God being glorified by those in one accord and Satan being crushed under the feet of those in peace!
