Walking in Dominion

The world is expecting something from you, earnestly waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. When the world is looking to you to manifest as a son of God, may you not be found wanting. When Joseph was looked upon to interpret dreams, he was not caught napping. When Daniel was looked upon at a time when the whole nation was in confusion, only Daniel delivered on demand. When the world calls you, answer must come from you!

“Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.” (Judges 5:13 KJV)

When God created man, let’s look at what he said:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. (Genesis 1:26-28 KJV)

You and I were created to have dominion. God wants us to occupy a position where we dominate our environment. Now man has gone to the moon, man has conquered virtually everything inside the sea. There is no animal that is in the sea now that man does not have a means of controlling, through different inventions. Man has been made to operate under the simple command of dominating and you need to recognize this and operate in the dominion that God has commanded. You will discover that life takes a different meaning when you begin to operate in those things that God has said concerning you.

God blessed man and commanded him to have dominion. It is an instruction from God. He has created a position called DOMINION for you and I to occupy. But many believers don’t either understand this or have not fully come to the knowledge of it.

Joseph is somebody who had recognition of this command to have dominion. In Genesis 37, we understand that he had a dream, he saw twelve sheaves , his own was in the middle and the other eleven bowed down to his sheaf . He felt elated and he decided to share that story with his brethren; he did not mention anybody’s name. Look at what his brethren said to him,

“And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.” (Genesis 37:8 KJV)

When you begin to occupy, and begin to operate in the level where you are supposed to occupy, it does not matter what the world does, the world can envy you, hate you, disapprove of you, but the point is that no matter what they do, they will eventually submit to whatever you do as a person operating in the power of dominion. Assuming, you are the managing director of a conglomerate, do you know that whether you are in the office sitting on your seat or not, you are still the executive director? Whoever comes into that office must submit to that position that you occupy, whether you are physically present there or not. So if you recognize your position as somebody who is supposed to walk in dominion, situations and circumstances will recognize that you are different.

Jesus operated in a realm of dominion and the bible records concerning him, “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” (Colossians 2:15 KJV)

It was easy for him to make an open show of the enemy. Remember when He sent the seventy out, when they returned to him with testimonies, here is his reply, “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” (Luke 10:18 KJV)

Well, how could he see satan fall as lightening? It is because he was already in a position that is far above, principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. When you occupy the position that is meant for you in the spirit realm, the enemies around will submit themselves unto you.

To have dominion means to overcome, to control, to subdue, to subjugate. Most of the nations that are currently free, had to remove the dominion of some other people over them: - they had to fight for their independence. That is because when something is under dominion, it means that it is not independent, it under the subjugation of somebody else. You are not supposed to be in a position where somebody is ruling or controlling you. You are supposed to be the one in charge. You are going to be in charge in the mighty name of Jesus.

To be in dominion means to lead. You are to be the head and not the tail according to the promises of God, not for some time but as a life style. Afflictions may come, but the bible says “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.” (1 Peter 5:10 KJV) Any suffering that is above a while is not for any child of God. You are meant to be above always. That is the standard that God has set for you in the spirit realm. 

Whenever you find yourself under the oppression of situations and circumstances, you need to lift up your head and ask your self - what exactly is happening? To have dominion is to be the head, to be supreme, you are the commander in chief when you are walking in dominion, irrespective of what the situations and the circumstances around you are, you are the one supreme ruler. When you become the commander in chief that you are intentionally designed by God to be, everything else takes instruction from you. When you are in charge, even the devil knows who is in charge. Witches are supposed to send intelligence network to find out which route you are using to travel so that they can clear off the road for you to pass, and they will not hold any meeting that particular day, because a commander in chief is passing by. Situations and circumstances are supposed to take instructions from you and I. They will however only do that if you operate in the level where God has created for you. It has nothing to do with your gender. Judges 5 is a song by Deborah the prophetess. The children of Israel were in bondage, no one could rise to the occasion until Deborah came, a lady walking in dominion showed up on the scene. We were all created to walk in such level of dominion. The head of the army had ran away, every one who was supposed to have done something one way or the other was in hiding. Yet the nation was under subjugation until one lady who knew who she was in God, decided to rise and take the position that was due to her. Because of what she did, the bible records the following:

“Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.” (Judges 5:13 KJV)

Take the step to occupy that position that belongs to you in the spirit realm. God has a special grace and that is the grace of dominion that will make the nobles of the land to begin to recognize you. When the army captain saw Deborah, walking in the power of dominion, - she was a prophetess, she had not gone to military school before; but they made her mother in Israel, and decided to submit to her. She became a judge in the land and the army General would come to her to get instructions about what to do. Israel as a nation then was under somebody’s dominion. Deborah decided to single-handedly operate at the level that she knew to be her original designation. Now, that is operating in the dominion that God had called her to. So when God created you, He put a mark after your name and added to your name- dominion. In the realm of the spirit, what does the devil see after the comma of your name on your complimentary card, it is boldly inscribed: DOMINION. That is because dominion is the original mandate of God.
