UNDERSTANDING YOUR KINGDOM DOMINION RULERSHIP MANDATE

Foundational Scripture: Genesis 1:26

Introduction: God Is A God Of Destiny, A God Of Plan And A God Of Purpose. It Is God’s Greatest Desire That Every Person Will Rediscover And Fulfill His/Her Destiny In Creation. The Greatest Tragedy To Happen To Any Man Is Not Untimely Death, But Not Being Able To Rediscover And Fulfill His Destiny In Life Before Death Comes.

God Said In Genesis 1: 26-28 – Let Us Make Man In Our Own Image And In Our Own Likeness And Let Them Have Dominion…Over All The Earth…Dominion Being The Same As Kings-Domain; Meaning To Rule, Lead, Govern, Control, Manage, Dominate, Direct, Influence, And Master.

When We Look At What I Call The “Kingdom Dominion Mandate” In Genesis 1: 26 We See The Nature, Destiny And Purpose Of All Mankind Which Has Not Changed Because God Never Changed What He Said In The Beginning Of Creation. We See The Nature Of Man As Being In The Image And Likeness Of God.

The Destiny And Purpose Of God For Man – Male And Female – Is Found In The Statement Of God When He Said, “Let Them Have Dominion…” This Is God’s Original Idea Or Plan For All Mankind Including You And I…To Have Dominion Over Earth And Its Resources…This Plan Has Not Changed.

When We Study That Statement Carefully It Becomes Very Clear That God Created Every Man – Male And Female To Have A “Dominion Mandate”. King David Discovered This Truth When He Wrote About Man In Psalm 8: 3-6.

What Is Dominion? Dominion Is A Royal Power And Rulership Of God. To Be Given Dominion Means To Be Established As A Sovereign King, Ruler, Leader, Master, And Governor, Responsible For Reigning Over A Territory or domain. there is a territory or domain for every man to rule and reign over. until you discover your own territory or domain, then you are not yet a man.

Man Was Created With A Dominion Mandate Over Earth, Giving Him Responsibility For Representing The Kingdom Government Of God On Earth. Mankind Is Heaven’s Earthly Agency For Kingdom Rulership Influence – We Are To Embody The Nature Of God On Earth And Serve As His Divine Ambassadors.

When God Created Adam, He Created A Son And A Ruler. Now Adam Was Not Just The Ruler Of The Physical Earth, But He Was Also The Ruler Over Everything That Was In The Earth. This Is What Genesis 1:26 Is Saying When It Speaks Of The Fowl, Cattle Creeping And Over All The Earth. So When God Created Man, He Created A Son And A Ruler.

Now For Some People They Want To Talk About Being The Ruler But Leave Off Talking About Being A Son And The Two Works Together. When You Separate Those Two, The Son And The Ruler, Then The Requirement Of Restraint That Being A Son Comes With Is Hindered. When All We Talk About Is Rulership Then All We Try To Do Is Oppress And Consume But If You Combine That With Being A Son Then That Brings A Completely Different Picture To The Forefront.

When You Look At A Son And Ruler Together, Then The Son Understands That They Are A Ruler But The Power That Is Given To Them Is Not Of Their Own But It Comes From The Father To Accomplish His Will In The Earth And Not Their Own. But As You Look At Genesis 1:26, Being A Ruler Is The Thing That God Put His Sons In The Earth To Do Because If They Are Made After His Likeness And God Is A King Himself Then Rulership Is An Automatic, Inherited Trait To The Children. The Key Of Rulership Is Learning How To Be Submitted To The King And How To Use The Dominion In A Responsible Way To Bring The Will Of God Into The Earth – This Is God’s Ultimate Desire – His “Kingdom Dominion” To Come And His Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven. (Matt. 6: 10)

Conclusion:

The Church Is Not A Religious Organization But Is A Political Body Established By Jesus Christ With Divine Authority To Execute The Laws And Principles Of The Kingdom Of God On Earth. The Church Is Not What We Do On Sundays But Church Is What We Are Everyday…When We Stop Doing The Church And Start Being The Church, It Is Then The Kingdom Of God Will Come And His Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven…In Other Words, We Will Bring The Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth…And Our World Will Be A Better Place To Live As God Intended.

The Kingdom Of God Is The Key To Unlock Your Destiny And Purpose In Life. How Long Shall You Continue To Struggle? It Is Time To Take A Stand In The Kingdom Of God In Order To Experience The Unique Abundance Lifestyle Under The Government Of The Kingdom Of God On Earth.
