It is time to experience your Dominion on the Earth, not just in London, Dominion in all spheres of life and existence.
Genesis 1: 26-28
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
It is one thing to have Dominion; it is another thing to use it.
Genesis 3:1-17
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God had said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and the sewed fig leaves together; and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shall thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 and unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Dominion is likened to a gun loaded with bullets. It is one thing to have Dominion; it is another thing to use it.
Adam had Dominion but he never used it so the Devil ruined His Garden of Eden for him and all through deceit.
There was power and authority attached to that Dominion Mandate.
Luke 4:6
6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that it is delivered unto; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
Before Jesus came on the scene to restore Man back to the position of Dominion, the Devil was ruling the Earth with the Power of Dominion and the Glory he collected from Adam.
The Devil was having a field day in the Garden of Eden. An unhindered movement, an unchallenged operation in the Garden because Adam kept quiet. He did not use the Authority associated with his Dominion.
So there is Authority and Power rooted in your Dominion. You need to know WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU HAVE.
WHO ARE YOU?
You are a child of God and if you are born again, your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, by virtue of Redemption.
Adam lost the Dominion Mandate to the Devil in the Garden but Jesus came to restore it back to Mankind.
Redemption is your platform for Dominion.
Revelation 5:12
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
He collected the power from the Devil, and gave it back to us.
Mathew 28:18
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
That is why Jesus said in Luke 10:20
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you: but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Only those that have their names written in Heaven as Children of God are the bonafide men and women who can exercise Dominion Power on the Earth.
SO SALVATION IS SUPERIOR TO DELIVERANCE, WHICH IS WHAT GIVES YOU THE PLATFORM TO EXERCISE AUTHORITY OF THE KINGDOM OVER UNCLEAN SPIRITS.
The list of those that can exercise Dominion is growing everyday.
As a Child of God, Salvation is your platform for Dominion. It gives you the right to walk in Dominion. You need to be conscious of who you are.
WHAT YOU HAVE
Genesis 1:28
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
As a Child of God, you have the Authority of Dominion of the Kingdom of God in your life.
Luke 10:20
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you: but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
If your name is written in the Book of Life, you have a right to exercise Dominion on the Earth.
……..the Authority of your Dominion to subdue every operation of the Devil around your life and in your
If your name is not written in the Book of Life in Heaven, you have no Authority or Power of Dominion to exercise over devils. They know those who have the right to exercise the Authority of Dominion.
Luke 10:17
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
If your name is written in the Book of Life you have the right to use your Dominion Authority to put the Devil where he belongs.
If you resist the Devil in the Name of Jesus, he can’t insist.
The question is…Is your name in the Book of Life? Are you born-again? Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and repented of your sins?
You can’t live like a devil and cast a devil out. You can’t have Dominion over the Devil when you are behaving like him.
Luke 10:17
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
This is Dominion right there over devils. There’s Dominion Power in the Name of Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:19
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of |Christ depart from iniquity.
For the Name to work for you and to see the Dominion Power in the Name of Jesus manifest you must live a life with a foundation that has departed from iniquity.
Your lifestyle affects the level of Dominion Authority you can exercise.
A Good Example is the Seven Sons of Sceva
Acts 19:13-17
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, we adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15 and the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord was magnified.
The seven sons of Sceva were trying to exercise the Authority of the Dominion which they do not have a right to use because their names are not written in the Book of Life.
If you don’t know who you are, you can’t understand what you have.
The sons of Sceva did not know that only those that have their names in the Book of Life have a right to use the Authority associated with Dominion.
The right to exercise Dominion is for those whose names have been written in the Book of Life.
COMPARE THESE TWO SCENES
- i. In Luke 10:17
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
The devils were subject to the disciples in the Name of Jesus. The disciples exercised their dominion. They rejoiced to see how they walked in Unquestionable Dominion over unclean spirits. They exercised Dominion over devils.
They knew who they were and what they had and walked in that consciousness.
So Walking in Dominion requires that you know who you are and what you have.
It is the right of every blood-bought Child of God to Walk in the Authority of Kingdom Dominion.
- ii. Acts 19:13-17
13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name f the Lord Jesus, saying, we adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
15 and the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.
17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord was magnified.
In this scene it was the Devil that had Dominion over the Sons of Sceva, despite the fact that they used the same Name the disciples used.
Acts 19:15
15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
What is the difference?
The Sons of Sceva did not have any redemptive identity for the Authority of Dominion they wanted to use that was why the devil said, “Who are ye?”
The devils were saying in other words,” you have no right to use the Authority of this Name and the Dominion Mandate because your name is not written in the Book of Life. We have checked the list of those that have the Dominion Mandate; your name is not there. Jesus I know, He has Dominion, Paul I know, he has Dominion, WHO ARE YOU?”
For you to walk in Practical Dominion, you must know who you are and what you have.
HOW DO I EXERCISE MY DOMINION?
- 1. Be Conscious of Your Redemptive Identity in Christ.
You must be conscious of who you are, that your name is written in Heaven. If your name is not written in Heaven you can’t exercise Dominion Authority on the Earth.
If you are conscious of who you are, the Devil will make a note of you. That’s why the Devil said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God…..” twice in Mathew 4:3-7
Mathew 4:3-7
3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple.
6 And saith unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, he shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, it is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Walking in the consciousness of who you are in Christ enhances your Dominion Mentality. It guides you to a Superior Mentality in the Battle of Life. It gives you an Edge in fighting invisible battles.
- 2. Live a life of Purity and Righteousness
2 Timothy 2:19
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Man lost his Dominion to the Sin of Disobedience. Only a life of purity and obedience can restore and sustain the Authority of our Dominion Mandate.
A Life of Righteousness enhances your Authority in the School of Dominion.
Revelation 19:11
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
How you are living will impact on how you will rule in Dominion.
This righteousness can be boosted by your daily unbroken fellowship with the Lord Jesus in prayer and study of the Word.
Your Communion with God will enhance your Dominion on the Earth.
3. Be Conscious of what You Have
Acts 3:16
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of all.
Genesis 1:28
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
You must be conscious of the fact that if you are a believer whose name is written in the Book of Life, you have Dominion. Don’t just know you have Dominion, exercise the Authority of that Dominion in the Name of Jesus over any activity of the Devil in your life.
SATAN FALLS
Give no place to the Devil.
Luke 10:18
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
I. As you exercise Authority in the Name of Jesus, I see Satan fall from your Business, Your Home, Your Children, Your Career, over any Sphere of Life you are taking for God.
It is as you exercise your Dominion Authority Satan will begin to fall off any area where you intended to establish the Kingdom of God.
Satan will fall off like lightning from your Health, Ministry, and various Life Endeavours you are intruding into.
Remember the Devil is an unwelcome guest.
Finally, my Brethren if you walk in these principles of the Scriptures, you would have an Unquestionable Dominion over the devil all the days of your life.
YOU ARE WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF DOMINION IN THIS NEW YEAR 2011.
