The
sum total of what I do with TIME
Sleep,
eat, laze about or work
Or
jest, gossip, curse
Or
study the WORD, meditate the Word
Worship
God in quality praise
Ascribe
honor to Him Who gives me dominion
Or
feed my eyes and mind on worthless things
Dominion,
how I invest or fritter time
Dominion is the
birthright of every child of God. God created you to have dominion. It was not
an afterthought. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 verse 28. To exercise dominion is
be masters, to rule and exercise control. Beloved, God created you to rule, to exercise control over His creation. Please
read up Psalm 8 verse 6, Genesis Chapter 1 verse 28, 1st Kings Chapter
4 verse 24, Psalm 110 verse 2, Proverbs Chapter 4 verses 23 to 24, 1st
Peter Chapter 1 verse 13, Luke Chapter 10 verse 19 for details and Holy Spirit
inspired insight.
You need faith
in God to exercise dominion. Therefore, anchor your faith in God and not
people, resources or circumstances. The word of God is a major component of the
Christian faith which explains why you should exercise your faith on the basis
of the word of God. Please read 1st John Chapter 5 verses 1 to 12. Christians
are to walk by faith and not by sight as instructed in Hebrews Chapter 10 verse
38, 11 verses 1 to 40, Habakkuk Chapter 2 verse 4, and Romans Chapter 10 verse
17. The word of God is what builds your faith.
Faith is the
absence of doubt (Mark Chapter 11 verses 22 to 24). Faith is also the absence
of unbelief (Romans Chapter 4 verse 20). The faith to exercise to receive from
God does not necessarily have to be big. In the words of Jesus Christ, faith as
tiny as a mustard seed can move mountains (Luke Chapter 17 verses 5 to 6,
Matthew Chapter 17 verses 19 to 20). The cripple at Lystra had faith to be
healed and was healed. The Apostle Paul whom God used to administer healing to
him observed that the man had faith, an outcome of the fact that he heard Paul
speak the word of God and listened attentively (Acts Chapter 14 verses 7 to 10,
Romans Chapter 10 verse 7).
Beloved,
you can exercise dominion by daring to be different, to stand out from the
crowd. Joseph was a young man without parental and pastoral guidance in Egypt.
Yet, God granted Him the grace to exercise dominion against the wiles of the
enemy through the wife of Potiphar. Joseph bridled his passions and refused to
sin against God and his master Potiphar. Though Joseph served an unjust prison
sentence because Potiphar’s wife lied against him, the time in prison turned
out to be stepping stones to greatness. As you exercise dominion over sin and
the wiles of the enemy, God will move you higher in life in the mighty name of
Jesus Christ.
