When God
made man, He gave man dominion over everything on earth. To have an idea of the
kind of dominion that man would have had had he not sinned, let’s look at the
perfect Man, Jesus Christ.
When Jesus
wanted to pay the temple tax, He only needed to command a fish to bring the
money to Him. (Matthew 17:24–27) When He wanted to feed a multitude, He only
needed to multiply five loaves and two fish in His hands. (Mark 6:34–44) When a
storm threatened the lives of His disciples, He only had to speak to the storm
and there was perfect calm. (Mark 4:35–41) And every sick person who was
brought to Him went away healed. He even brought the dead back to life because
He had dominion over death!
Today, you
have the same dominion that Jesus exercised because Christ is in you.
(Colossians 1:27)
“Pastor
Prince, forget about having dominion over the sea, air or earth. I want
dominion over my backache which has robbed me of my time with my children. I want
dominion over my financial situation.”
My friend,
because God’s purpose for you is to have dominion on earth, He will keep you
healthy. After all, it is hard to rule the earth when you are sick and lying on
your bed. And God will prosper you because it is hard to want to do things when
you are in lack.
We need to
understand that since God’s greater purpose is for man to have dominion on
earth, it would include the lesser blessings such as health and provision.
Then, we will see ourselves as God sees us, walking in dominion, and we will
walk in victory over our negative circumstances in the natural realm.
Beloved,
you have been born again of the Spirit, born to rule and have dominion over
everything on earth!
Text: Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image,
according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
