. The subject of the Kingdom of God is one that is very im-portant to our faith as believers. This vast subject is misunder-stood by many. If we fully discover and understand the ab-stract ideas of the concepts and principles of the Kingdom of God, that understanding will enact a change in every sphere of our life and give purpose to our existence.
Firstly, we need to define what the Kingdom of God is not, and then what it is! “For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 14:17).
We need to understand that the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink. It is not something that is superficial or of natural characters, but the Kingdom of God is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. The apostle Paul reveals to us that the Kingdom of God goes beyond the natural existence of man and it causes him to experience the fruit of the Holy Spir-it, which are righteousness, peace and joy.

The Kingdom of God is righteousness, and peace, and joy, and it is found in the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is indwelling in us. In other word, the Kingdom of God is something that is spiritual that dwells within us. The Kingdom of God is first a spiritual condition that resides within us.
“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
The word Kingdom comes from the Greek word basileia , and from the Hebrew word malkuth , which means royalty, rule, or a realm or authority and sovereignty exercised by the king. A kingdom is primary a realm over which a king exercises his authority; by this we must understand that the Kingdom of God is a realm that is overruled by God as the King. The King-dom of God is that dimension in which the will, wish and desire of the King is the same as if it was His laws. (Matthew 7:21-2).
The second meaning of a kingdom is the people belonging to a given realm. A kingdom is a kingdom by virtue of the people that belong to that realm. By this we must recognize the rem-nant (people) to whom the Kingdom of God is given to. It is His people to whom He calls to His rule.
