    About this ebook

    The Kingdom Lifestyle series are classic stories that are designed to build strong, godly character in children. It teaches them how to live in God’s kingdom by having a personal relationship with him, obeying his laws, becoming shining lights as they stand out in their world, captivating the mind of Christ. The Bible teaches us to remember our Creator now, in the days of our youth, before the days of trouble come (Ecclesiastes 12:1). Children, because they obey God’s laws, will be just like Christ and, like adults, will not only develop the mind of Christ but also bear spiritual fruits given in Galatians 5:22: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. You will gradually see changes in your child’s attitude as you read these wonderful stories to them. They are excellent as bedtime stories. Godly characteristics include telling the truth, making the best choices, honesty, showing kindness, standing up for what is right. The characters in these stories are children who are not perfect but are trying all they can to please God and make a difference in their world. They possess a passion for doing the right thing to please God. As parents, we have an obligation to teach our children God’s laws so that they can become what he made them to be. Children will enjoy these real-life stories as they grow in godly living. Becoming like Jesus in daily living is the way to go. God’s kingdom reflects a group of chosen people (1 Peter 2:10). The kingdom is a place where God reigns, where his will is done. He is king and gives blessings to his children who obey his laws. God’s kingdom provides true hope, peace, joy, and prosperity in the world. We are to let our lights shine (Matthew 5:14–16).

      Preface

      God’s desire is for heaven to be seen on earth. He wants to cover his word over all the earth. In Isaiah 45:18, we learn that He made the earth for His children, who would reflect the character and mind of God on earth. It’s about all of us making a difference in our environment. God’s kingdom is governed by a king who is God Himself, and we who have committed our lives to Him are His representatives. Our children also have this privilege to live and experience God’s kingdom as we teach and instruct them. Many of us are living below the standard of God’s way of living, and we wonder why we are not reaping the benefits of His rewards for our lives. The purpose of this book is to help God’s awesome creation of children and adults to come to see and experience the beauty of obeying His commandments by teaching others also to obey and reap the benefits of Godly rewards.

      Parents, as you teach and model these Godly principles to your child or children, it will also be a source of training for you as you encourage them to do the right things that God requires of us all. Everyone is tempted at some point in their lives, but we all have the courage through the power of the Holy Spirit within us to choose to do what is right in God’s sight. The kingdom of God needs to be modelled in the earth. We are God’s ambassadors, and He is depending on us to be good representatives.

      As young as our children
