Walking in Dominion -1

Dominion is about knowing who you are in Christ.
Unfortunately, dominion is a topic that many of us talk about but a few of us really possess. According to the Word of God, we are made to have dominion in life.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion  .......over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” - Genesis 1: 26

Then 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 birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” - Genesis 1: 26

Dominion is a topic that many of us talk about but few of us really possess. Dominion is power, authority or control over something or someone. It is the ability to request or command and expect a fulfillment of that appeal. To have dominion is to rule, to be in charge.

As children of God, understanding dominion is crucial to his walk with God. A lack of understanding in this area could cost him spiritually and naturally too.

Meanwhile, Spiritual dominion is not arbitrary ruler ship. It is not about going around commanding and demanding at your own discretion. Spiritual dominion falls under the auspices of God. It is only effective and effectual when it submits totally to the will of God.

Walking in Dominion

• Spiritual dominion begins in you: You will never be able to exercise power or authority over anything until you have first conquered self.
• Flesh is our greatest enemy. The church today appears to be on fire with spiritual warfare. Going against demonic activities, battling demons and rebuking the forces of evil, but until you conquer your flesh you are no match for the enemy.
• We must crucify, dominate and control flesh and make it bow to the dictates of God. Romans 12:1
• Definitely, the Word of God has not changed! Except we first take dominion over ourselves, over habits and desires and unbridled lusts and passions that are in us we can never expect to have dominion over anything else.
• You have to choose to be different. People who take dominion are leaders not followers. Leaders often times learn through their test and trial. They learn through their experiences and they believe God to the fulfilling of his promises.
  
• Be steadfast unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord for as much as you know your labor is not in vain in the Lord”

How many times in your life has the enemy tried to destroy you. He set you up for failure
He caused accidents, injuries and sickness, but God kept you alive, He kept your able in sound mind and strength, ready for this day, this hour, this season

• Control - Bring your body under control. Bring your mind under control. Bring your spirit under control. Watch what you say. Get your attitude together. Stand for righteousness
• Stand for holiness. Uphold God’s word. Rejoice in troubles.
• Worship with commitment, And stand in authority. Whatever that mountain is in front of you, take dominion. Don’t let it stand in your way. Don’t let it keep you from your place of power and dominion in God. “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me”
