Psalm 8: 1-9

You made Him to HAVE DOMINION over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under His feet” – Psalm 8:6                                 

The Believer’s Dominion like that of Christ is ALL-ROUND DOMINION: “You made Him to HAVE DOMINION over the works of Your hands; You have put ALL THINGS under His feet” (Psa.8:6). This psalm spurs God’s people to give Him praise for His majestic name in fulfilling His promise of giving dominion in Christ. The Lord is worthy of all praise for His majesty displayed in the heavens and the earth, crowning humanity with glory and honour, and fulfilling all of His counsel in Christ.

The Lord-God is the Possessor of all Power and Dominion: “His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and HIS DOMINION is from generation to generation” (Dan.4:3). It is from Him that the diverse Dimensions of Dominion derive. When we truly encounter and connect with the Person of Jesus, we become Partakers of His Spirit and Power. The Power of God is wholly and perfectly expressed in the Person of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Hear Him: All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth” (Mt. 28:18). Our dominion is multiple folds; meant to pervade all aspects of our lives.

Dominion over sin: “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace” (Rom. 6:14).

Dominion over the law: “Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?...But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter” (Rom.7: 1,6). We have been delivered from the law of sin and death: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death” (Rom. 8:1-2).

Dominion over the Devil and demons: “And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and OVER ALL the POWER of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you ” (Lk.10: 18-19). The Lord Jesus commanded us to “cast out demons” in His name (Mk.16:17). We can cast out devils from wherever they’re hiding to perpetrate evil, because they have been defeated and humiliated by Jesus: Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, TRIUMPHING over them in it” (Col. 2:15).

Dominion over death and the fear of death: “Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him” (Rom. 6:9). In Christ, there is no fear of death: “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” (Heb.2:14-15). The songwriter says: “No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me. From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny”! Jesus, the Commander of my destiny has given me Dominion over Death!

Total dominion – over sickness, poverty and every work of the devil: “He has delivered us from the POWER of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love…For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers” (Col.1: 13, 16). God expects us to walk in victory and dominion in all realms of creation. He has freely released His grace and power and crowned us with glory and honour. It’s our choice to enjoy or reject the right to dominion in the name of Jesus.
