WALK IN DOMINION

“You have made him to have DOMINION over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” – Psalm 8:6

To walk in perfection is to WALK in DOMINION. God ordained for Man to walk in dominion: “You have made him to have DOMINION over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (Psa.8:6). Dominion’ is a Kingdom word. It is the vocabulary of royalty and a language of authority. If there is no kingdom; there is no king. And if there is no king; there is no dominion. Kingdom stands for the king’s domain; the area or territory over which a king has and exercises authority. Dominion describes the exercise of a king’s authority within his domain – it is the function of a king. However, DOMINION is not synonymous with DOMINATION. The former derives from a commission; the latter is about subjection and subjugation!

Dominion was at the core of human creation. The Word of Dominion preceded humanity’s inception (Gen.1:26-28). An atmosphere of dominion saturated Eden until the entrance of sin and the fall. Praise God! In Christ, the mandate of dominion that was lost in Adam has been restored (Rom.5:17). We who believe in Christ are now repositioned through redemption by His Blood: He has “raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places” (Eph.2:6). Our possession of dominion encompasses both the authority (right) and power (anointing), as well as ability to exercise both. God empowers and expects us to practice and demonstrate dominion, as we learn to think, talk, walk, and reign in life as kings!

To walk in dominion is to realise our elevation above all powers and authorities that want to oppose the divine intention of God through Christ’s Victory on Calvary’s Cross. He overcame the world and gave us the power to prevail over, tame and conquer forces of darkness, elements of this world and circumstances of life! Every child of God can operate in dominion! The Lord gave Peter the keys of the kingdom, assuring that, “the gates of hell shall not prevail” (Mt.16:18). This confirms the limitations of the powers of darkness upon our lives.  When we understand the power we have as God’s children, based on the His assurances, we will no longer fret, be doubtful, fearful or lose our peace of mind no matter what is happening.

The Centurion understood the power of dominion when he said to Jesus, “…But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it” (Mt.8:8b-9). Power follows whatever we decree as children of God. We must never be afraid of or intimidated by the devil or be pushed into a tight corner. Rather, we make declarations that tell the devil enough is enough. 

Beloved, greater is God in you than the devil and his agents that are in the world (1Jh.4:4). Open your mouth and release utterances against whatever is challenging you. The name of Jesus is the symbol of your authority. I declare in Jesus name:

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith” (1Jh.5:4).

I’m born of God! My origin is divine. I live in dominion over Satan, the world, and its systems. I walk in unlimited dominion “from sea to sea” (Psa.72:8). I am established in righteousness, far from oppression, fear, and terror (Isa.54:14). Whatever the enemy has prepared or packaged against my destiny is terminated. Christ has broken every yoke off my neck, and burst all bonds asunder. Every demonic kingdom resisting God’s dominion in my life is crushed and consumed (Jer.30:8). I have impregnable and invincible dominion over “serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy” (Lk.10:19). In Christ, I’m unstoppable and unconquerable, born into the glory-life, reigning victoriously on every count! On the Word I firmly stand: “Now thanks be to God, who causes us to triumph in Christ…” (2Cor.2:14).
