AND LET THEM HAVE DOMINION
‘’And God said, 'Let Us make man in Our Image, after Our Likeness, and let them have Dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the cattle and over all the Earth.“ Genesis 1:26(KJV)
BIBLE READING:
PSALM 115:16; PSALM 8:1-6; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:13
One of the Major Secrets of and most Potent Forces behind Dominion is the Power of The Blessing. The Holy Scriptures declares thus in the Book of Genesis: "And God BLESSED them...” (Gen. 1:28). It is the Force of the Blessing that releases the Power to produce unto Fruitfulness. The Holy Bible declares that "The Blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow to it" (Prov. 10:22 NKJV). Isaac the Patriarch and son of Abraham in Israel instructed his son Esau to bring him venison or savoury meat that he (Isaac not Esau) liked so that the Blessing would come from his soul or innermost being (Gen. 27:3-7). Judah, the fourth son of Jacob in the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, shared with his sons how he got the Mantle of Dominion: "I was obedient to my father in everything and I honoured my mother, therefore my father blessed me saying, “Thou shall be king, prospering in all things,” and the Lord showed me favour in all my works both in field and in the house." Judah later began to do exploits, killing giants because his father Israel had blessed him. Apparently, his father saw in a Vision that an Angel of Might started following him to ensure that he never gets defeated in any battle after he had pronounced the Blessing upon him.
You see, we need the Blessing of our fathers in order to operate in Dominion, but we must learn how to activate it through the Principle of Honour. In other words, it takes Provocation (Honour) to initiate Invocation (the Blessing pronounced by the father). The second tenet that leads to Dominion is Submission. The more we submit to God and His Word, the more the whole of Creation submits to us. This is supported by the Holy Scriptures, which say: "Humble yourself under the Mighty Hand of God... after which you obtain the Moral Authority to "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"(Jam. 4:6-7).
Submitting to God entails the following:
Submitting to the Authority of the Scriptures.
Yielding to the Leading of the Spirit.
Submitting to Spiritual Authority.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the Gift of Your Son Jesus Christ and all the benefits of our Redemption. O Lord, please help us to understand and operate in Dominion as sons of God in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
