We, as Christians, are constantly looking for the extension and furtherance of the Kingdom of God; however, we seem to have lacked the means or the direction, in order to have these things fulfilled for the glory of God. Undoubtedly, it is a spiritual war that Christians are fighting against Satan and his kingdom of darkness. We are in a battle field every single day of our Christian life, which awareness of evil traps is especially required. These things are mentioned in the Bible; but, however, they do not fully convey all truths which Christians would need in order to face the last days. Because when these “the Kingdom of God vs. The kingdom of Satan, 50:50” themes are being highly emphasised, people could, so often, be led to some unbiblical practises suggested by pastors in their preaching, such as “praying to the Holy Spirit to release all the curses of Satan,” “asking for some special guidance from the Holy Spirit for evangelism,” “drawing a map of the locations of the power of Satan”..... This extreme can only give Christians more and more burdens and nerve, that they no longer sense the Gospel peace which is offered by our gracious Lord.

The cause of this extreme is from the lack of balance in preaching. The Gospel to them is just like a sweet which requires of all of your possible efforts to secure, otherwise it could be snatched by other kids or animals. Thankfully, the true Gospel of the glorious Lord Jesus Christ isn’t like that at all. His Gospel is triumphant, glorious, powerful, gracious, and majestic. Its Author, the glorious and exalted Christ Jesus, is, indeed, living in our hearts as Saviour and Lord. Therefore, how can we not to present the Gospel with others without mentioning the glory and honour of the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings, Christ the Saviour? What can men do unto us? If God is with us, who can be against us? The centrality of the cross of Jesus is the heart of our Christian faith. God the Father did not send His only begotten Son to die for us so that we can gain happiness. In fact, He gave us His life so that our sins can be forgiven, and to have eternal life. In fact, this exalted Christ, the Glory (James 2:1), is the focal point of whole creation; however, preachers need to bring gospel light to both the church and the world, through the Word of God, with the authority and power given by Christ. Therefore, Christ, the great Redeemer, may be honoured and glorified, through the mortal lips of His forgiven sinners, the saints.
