Which means to put God first in your life, to fill your thoughts with His concerns, to take His character as a model for your own, and to serve and obey Him in everything. What is really important to you? People, objects, goals, and desires all compete for top priority. Any of these can quickly bump God out of first place if you don't actively choose to give Him first place in every area of your life.

Jesus said, "Do not lay up for yourselves an earthly treasure. Moths and rust consume; thieves break in and steal. Make it your practice instead to store up heavenly treasure, which neither moths nor rust consume nor thieves break in and steal." [Matthew 6:19,20]
From this it's obvious that whatever possessions we may gain in this world are not permanent and eventually consume away and disappear. Even the mountains in this world are, after a time, eroded away by wind and water. So it seems pretty futile to trade the promise of the Father for these impermanent things.

The Kingdom of God shouldn't be anyones primary concern.
If they are a Christian, they will inherit it.
Christians should be following the path in which God has chosen for you personally to follow.
We should not be concerned in general. All concerns should be left up to God.

NO !!!!!!!!!! The Kingdom of God is not my primary concern. You should reword your question. The Kingdom of God is just icing on the cake. My primary concern is acknowledging that Jesus Christ is Lord, accepting him as my savior, loving him because he first loved me and thanking him everyday for my salvation. All the sparkle and Glitter of heaven pales in comparison to the Blood of the Lamb. God Bless You.

Repent, and have self belief interior the Gospel. to accomplish the will of the father, Christ inaugurated the dominion of God on earth. Now the father's will is to strengthen up men to proportion in his very own divine existence. He does this by utilising accumulating men around his Son Jesus Christ. This accumulating is the Church, on earth, the seed and commencing up of that Kingdom. everybody is reported as to flow into the dominion. to flow into it, one can first settle for Jesus' observe: The observe of the Lord is whilst in comparison with a seed that's sown in a field; people who hear it with faith and are numbered between the little flock of Christ have incredibly won the dominion. Then, by utilising its very own ability, the seed sprouts and grows till the harvest. the dominion belongs to the damaging and lowly, meaning people who've prevalent it with humble hearts. Jesus is sent to evangelise stable information to the damaging. He pronounces them blessed, for the father is extremely joyful to bare what keeps to be hidden from the clever and the discovered. Jesus shares the existence of the damaging, from the cradle to the flow. He studies starvation, thirst, and privation. Jesus identifies himself with the damaging of each and every style and makes lively love in the direction of them the project for coming into his Kingdom.

Ezekiel 33:1- And the word of YHWH proceeded to occur to me saying: 2) Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and you must say to them"'As regards a land, in case I bring upon it a sword and the people of the land, one and all, actually take a man and set him as their watchman, 3) and he really sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the horn and warns the people....5) but he took no warning. His own blood will come to be upon his own self. And had he himself taken warning, his own soul would have escaped. 6) Now as regards the watchman, in case he sees the sword coming and he actually does not blow the horn and the people get no warning...
1Peter 4:17 For it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God.
