THREE CHANNELS OF DOMINION

 

Speaker: Pastor Henry Tobin-West

Every man’s success or failure in life is determined solely by himself. A man can decide to be or success or failure by his attitude actions and choices.

         One way that guarantees we walk in dominion is through our thoughts of how we see ourselves. The potential to walk in dominion starts in our state of mind. What you think of yourself is who you are; be it a success or a failure (proverbs 23:7). The state of your mind determines the state of your life. How you see yourself determines what you command and your placement in life. One that sees himself a failure cannot succeed by accident. A pessimist never takes risks that could lead to success. Our mental attitude determines our success or failure in life. It is the extent of what you see that God performs in your life (Jeremiah 1:11-13). It is vital you see yourself according to the pictures of God’s word about you. You must see yourself as made in the image and after the likeness of the Almighty God. Always have a possibility mentality in every challenge you are faced with. Look at every challenge as conquerable even if it seems not at that instant. Success might not come at a first try but you must not lose faith and keep pushing on. A child of God must have the mentality of a warrior.

          A man’s thinking determines what he speaks; for out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. What a man gives his time to determines what he thinks. What you concentrate on determines what you are filled with. Meditating on the word of God programs a man’s mind and speech. David's God-like thinking generated his confidence to speak and challenge Goliath when all the soldiers of Israel feared him but in clear contrast of size between them, David defeated Goliath. We must always speak words of authority and not defeat: speak what you believe.

Walking in dominion requires actions in a corresponding direction. Our actions exhibit what we believe. God weighs our actions. Your actions show the true intent of your heart. We must take actions that reflect our dominion lifestyle as children of God. Our actions must correspond with what we boldly speak.

          God does not see anyone as a failure but as a success. He is a God of possibilities and nothing is impossible to Him and as His children, He has given us the same mentality so we can walk in dominion here on earth (Philippians 4:8).
