"He who fights with the precious blood of Jesus, fights with a weapon which cannot know defeat. The blood of Jesus! Sin dies at its presence, death ceases to be death: heaven's gates are opened. The blood of Jesus! We shall march on, conquering and to conquer, so long as we can trust its power!" -- Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

The Christian religion is one of world conquest. We are called to march, to conquer and to call the world to receive her King in repentance and faith before His return. Every square inch will be brought into submission to the Son. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess either in joyful belief or despairing unbelief that "Jesus Christ is Lord!"

Revelation 12:10-11
And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

The world has already been conquered by the blood of the Lamb. Those who now cover themselves in His blood conquer under His banner for His glory.

Jesus’ tremendous name

Puts all our foes to flight:

Jesus, the meek, the angry Lamb,

A Lion is in fight.

By all hell’s host withstood,

We all hell’s host o’erthrow;

And conquering them, through Jesus’ blood,

We still to conquer go.

-- Charles Wesley, Angels Your March Oppose

Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD and their vindication from me, declares the LORD.

Victory in battle and in debate is the heritage of the bondservants of God. Their submission to Him will be justified. It will not have been too much. It will never be too much. All wisdom, glory, power and honor belong to Him and are owed to Him. There is no amount you could endeavor to give which would prove to be overpaid. There is no bargain bin belief. It costs you everything because He deserves it all and in return we inherit Him and everything else along with it. 

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
