Why is the book title in the form of a question? This is so because it is a question that demands an answer from every woman who reads it. Jesus asked us to pray, "Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven." What is this kingdom? What does the will of God on earth look like? Who is a kingdom woman? What makes her different from every other woman? What is God's priority for this kingdom? Find out as you engage with this book.The Church of Jesus Christ has preached all sorts of messages, doctrines, sermons on faith, healing, prosperity, how to fulfill your dreams, and so on. Indeed, these are all part of the kingdom message. However, the gospel of the kingdom of God has not occupied the pride of place it ought to have. Yet Jesus preached nothing else but the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven. All His parables were used to explain kingdom principles and the kingdom life. Could it be that the church needs to go back to basics, to discover all over again what the kingdom life is about, and what we have been saved to do? At the start of Jesus' ministry in Matthew 4, He left Nazareth and went to Galilee and began to preach saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17). We also find that whilst He was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He found Simon Peter and his brother fishing. He called them to follow Him, and they left their nets and followed Him. So also did the two sons of Zebedee, James and John. What happened next? We are told in Matthew 4:23 and 9:35 that "Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of diseases among the people." He was not preaching about 'how to heal the sick'. He preached the gospel of the kingdom, and then began to heal the sick. In other words, when people understand what the kingdom of God is about, they would understand that sickness and disease are not part of this kingdom Jesus was talking about. Could it be that we are not seeing much miracles in our churches today because we have stopped preaching the gospel of the kingdom?In chapters 5, 6, 7 of Matthew's gospel, Jesus began to teach the people about this kingdom; how this kingdom operates and what it looks like to live in this kingdom. For example in this kingdom if someone "slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also" (Matthew 5:39). In other words, you don't fight back if someone hits you. This book explores these principles and concepts of the kingdom. The Apostle Paul was responsible for over half of the contents of the New Testament. So what did he preach? In the LAST TWO verses of Acts 28:30-31 it says 'Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him'. In other words, the Apostle Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, and so must we. It is my sincere prayer that this book will get us back on track.Every woman who is 'born again' and sincerely desires to live a fulfilled life, the kind of life that Jesus left His throne in heaven to bequeath to us, must read this book. Are you not tired of just keeping the motion and living a mundane life? Why are we not experiencing 'heaven on earth'? Where have we gone wrong? It is my prayer that the life of every woman that reads this book will be radically changed forever. It is time for us as kingdom women to rise up and begin to live and walk in our kingdom authority. God has overlooked our days of ignorance (Acts 17:30).Although this book focuses on women, it is not exclusively for women. Every believing man ought to read it as well so they can gain insights too about what a kingdom man looks like. More importantly, every married man after reading this book should hopefully discover how best to support his wife to live the kingdom life.
