Born to Rule

Saturday 14 November
READ: Gen 1: 26 – 28
MORE LESSON: Psa 91: 13 - 16

The original mandate of God for man is to rule the earth. God created you to rule. According to Gen 1:26, when God created man, He told them to have dominion over everything that He made. Child of God, you are not created to be a slave, you are born to rule. Deut 28: 13 says, And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. God wants you to be the head, meaning that if you start at the bottom, He wants you to make progress up till you get to the top. Wherever you find yourself, in your career, academics, job or society, go for the best place. Continue to develop yourself and grow till you are at the top. God wants you to rule in your sphere of influence.

God wants you to exercise dominion over life and situations. In your health and physical well being, He wants you to rule. You should not be ruled by sickness; you should dominate it – go for health and not just healing. Healing is getting well when you fall sick, and then you start praising God. As good as that is, it is not the dominion that God created you for. True dominion is when you live in divine health, where no sickness can touch you - that is your portion, in Jesus’ name.

God wants you to dominate over perils; do not allow anything that is not of God to perch on you and your family. When you read Psa. 91, you will realise that there are many pestilences, terrors and evil flying around looking for a home to rest on. Do not allow them to rule over you. Exercise dominion over them by declaring your authority over all evil in Jesus’ name. Insist by declaration of faith that you will not be a victim of circumstances. Rule over situations. You must also dominate in your finance. A child of God should not be begging around or work hard with nothing to show for it. The spirit of dominion will give you breakthrough in your business and career till you become the envy of unbelievers around you.

Dominion for a believer is not limited to casting out demons; it includes successful living. Success is yours in Jesus’ name. Unfortunately many believers are satisfied with their current level and that is the reason why they are not ascending to the place of dominion that God has destined for them. In fact, some use scriptures to justify and defend their smallness. God has made provision for you to rule and dominate even before you were created. I simply want you to take hold of the provision in the Word and ascend to greater heights.
