My late dad, the late Erastus Mwololo, was a great story teller. Growing up with my brothers, dad shared some of the funniest stories that I had ever heard as a kid. He shared most of these stories either before we went to bed at night or before the fireplace with other family members and kids in my rural village (that's country). Our eyes were wide open and focused giving him our undivided attention as he shared one of his many bed-time stories with us. I grew up enjoying listening to these funny short stories and that is why I decided to write this book. None of these stories are my dad's. They are all mine but I would like to dedicate these stories to his legacy of storytelling as a dad. Most of his stories had very important moral lessons in them that helped me and my younger brothers to view life differently. Do you have a dad that is a story teller? You are in good company. Are you a dad that wants to get into story-telling? You too are in the right place.Most of the stories I share are fictitious and are staged in the wild parts of Africa where we have an abundance of wild animals. I enjoy watching wild animals in their wild on National Geographic channel Wild. I have been to some of these beautiful and amazing wild animal reserves and have seen these animals out there in their kingdom. You will find these short stories funny but they are important lessons to learn from them right from our homes, workplaces and places that we interact more often. Put yourself in the place of these animals and you realize that life happens wherever we are. I am in no way trying to advertise a long trip or ' Safari ' to Africa but I sure hope that some of you who happen to read this book will someday make that dream trip to Africa to witness the wild animals in their wild. Enjoy the journey with me. Laugh if you have to and share the stories with your family, children, workmates, village and community.Thank you,

What is this book all about? This book is about the things we value most in life. And in your own personal case, the reader, you may have your own list of things that you value the most in your life. However, I will look at the some of core issues that almost every single human being on the face of the earth today values the most. These are the things that cause some of us to wake up in the morning, drive long distances or even fly to different cities and nations, stay in hotels, get into meetings and make the necessary sacrifices that we need to make to accomplish those things. These things are important in our lives and anyone who is going to tell you that these things do not really matter in their lives will be lying to you. I will be dealing with the truths of how we should never allow these things that we consider important in our lives get in the way of the life that we want to live and enjoy to the maximum. I would hate to experience a lifestyle where I am so obsessed by these things that I really do not have the time to take a break, enjoy life and replenish to get back on track again. I desire that you read this book with an open and critical mind. Examine your own life and make the quality time decision on how you want to live your life on this earth. What is your priority in life? These things that we regard as important in life or making our lives count without these things? Think about this question as you read each chapter of this book. I have included at the end of each chapter questions for personal study and group discussions/ even family discussions. Feel free to write your own notes on this book underline and highlight important principles that pop up to you from the pages as you read.Enjoy the journey.Gideon M. MwololoAuthor

I was preparing to go out to minister in one of the towns in the Coastal Province part of Kenya, called Voi. My hosts, Home Alive church pastored by Pastor Christopher Obialor and his wife Chrisitine, once again had invited me to be a blessing to the Body of Christ. I have visited this church before and they have been great hosts to me. My friendship with the leaders and members of this congregation has grown with my last two visits. The trip to Voi was made earlier this year during my short visit to Kenya for a brief vacation and to spend time with my family members who live in Kenya. I was in Voi during the earlier part of the year for three days. During my time of prayer in my hotel room, I asked the Holy Spirit what message He had for the Body of Christ in Voi. I never step out to minister anywhere I have been invited to without first seeking God's direction. Why? Because these are God's people not my people. He knows what everybody is going through in their own personal lives and I don't. And He has a solution to their problems. And I hate going before God's people to share with them what I think God is saying to them without spending time and hearing from Him. You really cannot give what you don't have. That's another topic we have to deal with later. The impression in my spirit as I lay prostrate before God in that hotel room was very clear as the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. He said, "Go and teach and preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. That is the message that Jesus taught and preached. That is the forgotten message that My church is not teaching and preaching today." That was it I got my marching orders and instructions from God and I immediately knew that this message, 'The Gospel of the Kingdom of God' message is the forgotten message that the Church today is not teaching and preaching. The Holy Spirit continued speaking to my heart: "If the church wants to have the same results that Jesus got when He ministered on earth, then the church must teach and preach the same message He taught and preached."Should I shout here, "Wow" or "Boom "to that powerful Word from the throne of grace? I got my Bible ready and started preparing for these meetings in Voi. I had my divine instructions from the Lord and that is all I needed from Him. My part was to obey and deliver the message He wanted me to deliver to His people.This book is about this forgotten message and why it is imperative for the church of Jesus Christ today to go back to what I may call the real basics; back to teaching and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God message and not the religious trash we have been teaching and preaching today.Why is this message so important to God? Are there other gospels that are being taught and preached out there? Let us take this journey together, dig deep into scriptures and find out what the Holy Spirit says about this message. This to me is the most important and forgotten message that the Church needs to return back to. I believe your life will be impacted by this message in a powerful way just as my life was and is as I continue to study and meditate on the Message of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. My prayer for you is that you will experience the Kingdom of heaven lifestyle in your own personal life as you read this book. Get ready for the journey of your life. Gideon M. MwololoAuthor.
