Text: Gen 1:26-28; Col 1:6; Rev4:11
The dominion power is our birthright. Something happened along the line and God had to put a plan in place to ensure the smooth running of this power. By divine design, God intended for believers to utilize the dominion power he has given to us as our right from creation.
After the fall of Adam and Eve, the retentive power of God brought salvation again. God put together a salvation plan to reinstate and reposition mankind. He did this so we could reassess his presence and enjoy the fullness and benefits of his presence again. It was important that dominion power be reissued back to us the children of God so we can dismantle the system of oppression that plagues our world today. When we do this, we depopulate the kingdom of darkness.
The enemy is not happy that he has been placed under the feet of believers. As a result, he goes about searching for lapses in the lives of believers just to question this authority and ensure that dominion power is taken again.
Having dominion is a charge God gave to believers. Man was created in God’s image- an agreement between the father, son, and Holy Spirit. It was indeed a strong contract.
There’s something in man that God had not given to any other person that makes man unique. By spreading this uniqueness, you are depopulating the kingdom of darkness and winning souls for God. We’re to have dominion over all things God has made.
God wants us to understand why this dominion power is important. The only way to attain and maintain this dominion is to BE A FRIEND OF GOD. Do away with all your sins. Live your life after God’s ordinances and His hands will go ahead and fight for you.
By divine ordination, dominion power is our natural birthright.
You cannot exercise the dominion power without surrendering your life to the authority of Christ. Man will always rest on God’s power for survival.
To stay in power and utilise your dominion is to resist the devil. James 4:6, 1Cor 16:9, 2Cor 2:11-12
Resilience is bouncing and springing forth to a better life despite all the hurdles. It is coming out of the situation successfully and having dominion despite all the attacks. PS 34:9; 2 Cor 4:8; 2 Cor 11:23-28; Deut 28:1
We are currently living in horrible times and we can only gather strength from studying the word of God regularly. Wait for the word of God. Wait for the manifestation of His promises, which would not tarry, but will come and you’d be rescued.
Keep the forces trying to tell you “NO” down! Put them where they belong. Walk over them in victory. Express your authority over them by putting on the armour of prayer. Walk in the power and dominion God has given you by confessing the word. Confess Jesus as your Lord and savior. Stand in the word of God and operate in that power. When you do all this, the earth will yield its fruitfulness to you. You will speak, and your word will stand.
There are many wolves in sheep clothing moving around today representing forces of darkness. We are to fight and keep them down, and nothing shall by any means hurt us.
Don’t be discouraged , be strong in the Lord and get prayerful people around you. On a Final note, do not give up. Fight on.
However, Sin can be a barrier between You and God. Sin will say No the Yes of God when you pray. Repent from all known sins today and surrender to Jesus if you haven’t.
Prayers
- Lord Jesus, send your fire into my life in the name of Jesus.
- Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me.
