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.”

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!
Thought For The Day
Since God’s greater purpose is for
man to have dominion on earth, it includes you walking in health and His
provision.
