Why You Should Exercise Dominion

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

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, 1^st Kings Chapter 4 verse 24, Psalm 110 verse 2, Proverbs Chapter 4 verses 23 to 24, 1^st 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 1^st 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.

Exercise Dominion in Your Sector

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

If there is anyone that should succeed in any business, it should be you because Genesis Chapter 1 verse 26 says so. It is the will of God for you. This means that as a believer, you should be at the top because dominion is your DNA. You are made in the image of God.

There is no best business, place or profession or field. Every business has its successes and failures as well as the secrets that make certain people exercise dominion certain sectors and why some people do a sprint away from certain sectors. Your sector is your sphere of influence; an area where you authority rules. However, you require great skills and expertise to exercise dominion in your sector. If you do not have the skills and expertise, you either learn them or hire them as consultants. But most importantly, always apply the wisdom of God in whatever you do. It is the wisdom of God that will always give you the edge you need to exercise dominion in your sector. The wisdom of God is all yours for the asking if you care to – James Chapter

Additionally, and quite instructive is the need to apply yourself. While skills and expertise are great assets; skills and expertise without a corresponding grace to complete assigned tasks especially as directed will not place you at the top. If you do not complete tasks assigned to you, how then do you exercise dominion? An uncompleted building, art work or dress is never a master piece and cannot be showcased in any competition. Only completed buildings, works of art, dresses et al can be showcased and categorized as master pieces. Huram had the grace to finish tasks as directed. So also were Bezalel, Oholiab and the team of gifted artisans who worked with them – Exodus Chapter 38 verses 22 to 23, 39 verses 42 to 43.

Celebrate Your Divinely Elevated Status

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is bringing you out of the valley of irrelevance and obscurity into the mountain top of limelight and relevance. The dust and ash heap positions of life are obscure positions of life that only God can lift a person from. These are positions of darkness, without light and where a person is unknown. However, when light shines upon a person in obscurity, the person gets into limelight and fame.

The primary purpose of Jesus’ death is the redemption of man from sin. Additionally, the death of Jesus facilitates divine repositioning from the miry clay and dung hill positions of life to royalty and priest hood. Jesus Christ shed His blood to wash us from our sins. Sin pollutes the soul, leaves stain on the soul and degrades a person’s status in life. The only way to remove such stain and corruption is through the blood of Jesus Christ. He shed His blood for our purity and redemption and through that redemption made us kings and priests to God. Once you are cleansed of sin you have changed your erstwhile low status to become kings and priests as the blood of Jesus Christ takes you higher. There is therefore  a connection between being redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ and being moved from the low social strata of life to royalty where you reign, rule and have dominion. Please see Revelation Chapter 5 verses 9 to 10. Once you are redeemed, you reign because kings are men with authority. Kings rule by their word – Ecclesiastes Chapter 8 verse 4. Additionally, priests administer the word of God. Therefore, exercise dominion with the word of God and function as a king in your domain.
