God has a purpose for creating human beings. The first
command given to man is to have dominion. Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us
make man in our own image, after our likeness: and let them 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.
Our anchor for 2012-Enforcing Kingdom Dominion-is taking us back to the basics- the purpose for man’s creation and existence.
Dominion- is from the Hebrew word “mamlakah” meaning sovereign rule or royal power.
Kingdom- refers to God’s government, God’s rulership, God’s dominion over the earth.
Enforce- to cause a law or decision to be carried out or to impose one’s will.
Enforcing Kingdom Dominion is for man to rule over the earth with God’s power and in accordance with kingdom principles.
The main thrust of the message of Jesus is the return of the Kingdom of Heaven to earth
Matt 4: 17 Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is near.
Matt 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Matt 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom.
To become a citizen of the kingdom, you must be born again …… enforce kingdom dominion.
Enforcing Kingdom Dominion- rule over the earth with God’s Power and in accordance with Kingdom principles.
Rom 14: 17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
• Dominion is enforced by the power of the Holy Ghost
• Dominion in thought, word and deeds
• The working of the kingdom is based on the principles of faith, love, holiness, giving, hope and forgiveness.
How do we enforce kingdom dominion?
1. By discovering dominion power: You cannot appropriate what you do not know
2 Tim 1: 7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.
2. By seeking the kingdom of God as a topmost priority
Matt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Seek- pursue, study, explore, understand, learn and consider.
3. By the diligent use of the weapons of our warfare: the blood, the word and the power of the Holy spirit (Rev 12:11). 2 Cor 10:14 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.
We clean our hearts (Deut 6:7; Matt 13: 35)
We load our hearts with the word of God (Matt 6: 63; 2 Pet 1:4; John 20:31; 1 Cor 14: 2; Eph 6:18; Jam 5:16)
4. By using the weapons to enforce dominion in every area of our lives:
I. Spiritual: Grow spiritually and demonstrate spiritual power
II. Family: Have godly family where God is honoured .
III. Health: Enjoy divine health .
IV. Knowledge: To acquire divine knowledge and insight to do exploits
V. Career: To have quantum leap of unimaginable proportions
