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
(see Matthew 17:24–27). When He wanted to feed a multitude, He only needed to
multiply five loaves and two fish in His hands (see 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 (see 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 (see 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! (Article
