DOMINION IS OUR HERITAGE

Dominion is the power to rule or control. Operating in dominion gives you sovereign authority over the kingdom of darkness (Luke 10:19). As Christians, we are empowered to work in dominion but to do that we must be bold and courageous (proverbs 28:1).

          As Christians, we possess a dominion potential already (genesis 1: 26-28). God created man for a purpose; which is to dominate and rule here on earth (psalm 8:6) (Hebrews 2:14). We are the body of Jesus Christ who has dominion over all things, even death. Jesus was slain on the cross so that the church of God may have dominion (revelations 5:12) (Romans 8:19)

           In order for us to work in dominion as Christians, we must recognize and manifest the power to dominate given to us by God (Ephesians 3:20). To dominate as Christians, we must enforce our ability to speak out for or against situations boldly by faith. Being born again is the only guarantee for humans to work in dominion as God has ordained for us (Daniel 11:32). You must know your appointed placement and place of authority with God to work in dominion (Matthew 16:18). Every child of God has a unique place of authority with God which he/she must discover. Peter recognized his place of authority in Christ and as thus he performed exploits working in Gods power (acts3:6). We must possess the love of God to work in dominion. The love of Christ for us brought about His death which made us to work in dominion as followers of Him. To exercise our power to dominate we must have a good partnership with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of dominion (Ezekiel 37:7-10). Jesus Christ sent us the Holy Ghost to dwell in us that we may dominate. The name of Jesus Christ is a weapon for dominion and we must be conscious of that name when faced with challenges (mark 16:17). Humility is an attribute of one who works in dominion. Jesus was most humble as to wash the feet of His disciples. The power of praise is another way to enforce dominion. Paul and Silas used of power of praise to dominate in their time of imprisonment and were set free.

          Wisdom of God is a principal thing we must possess to operate in dominion. Solomon operated in wisdom and as thus during His time he fought no war (Ecclesiastes 10:10). Jesus operated in the wisdom of God even much more than that of Solomon (Matthew 12:42).
