DOMINION
Psalms
8:1-9
Devotional:- “You
have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all
things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV
At
creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at
that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6;
Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to
deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God
(Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before
him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that
though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to
be in charge of all creation.
Since
the devil was cast to the earth, he has been dreaming of taking over and ruling
it. Since he was not aware of God’s agenda of creation, he was shocked to see
God creating another one like God and may likely be a ruler. God gave dominion
to man, and the devil was not pleased. Dominion interprets rulership and
authority over others. It is also a legal permission to dominate others and
determine activities in their lives. The government of each country exercises
dominion over the people. You don’t need to like them, but you must obey them.
This is your true nature.
Friend,
you have dominion over all forces and authority. It is sin that devalues the
strength of man. Don’t put on a defeated mentality. Don’t let your situation
determine your mindset but the word of God. Do you know that the almighty God
is in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16). He that is in you, is greater than he that is
in the world (1 John 4:4). Wake up and take over in the name of Jesus. Gain
back your authority by believing the word of God and let the Holy Spirit always
guide your steps (John 5:30). Stand against pain, sickness, sorrow, failure,
and frustration in your life. Our dominion is not only over the animals but
also over all the powers of the enemy (Luke 10:19). By the name of Jesus, even
the angels are at alert to execute your words (Hebrews 1:14). Refuse to be
destroyed by your challenges. Arise over it and win.
PRAYER:
LORD, RELEASE MY LIGHT OF DOMINION TO ME.
“DOMINION
IS THE HERITAGE OF RULERS, TAKE YOURS”
