WE HAVE DOMINION!

Yesterday while worshipping I was moved by one word in a song that we sang. I know what you are probably thinking, “One word?” Yes, it was this one word that I could not stop thinking about even after I got home. That word is “Dominion”.  I had heard it before of course and I was pretty sure I knew it’s meaning, but I looked it up just to make sure I was thinking of it correctly. The definition of Dominion is “supreme authority” (www.merriam-webster.com). I had heard it used before in terms of God having dominion. But I kept thinking there was much more to this word. After searching the scriptures I discovered in Psalm 8:6 “You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,” I thought wow, because of Who He is, I have dominion. You have dominion. To me, that is definitely something to shout about.

But wait, so if we indeed have dominion, why is it that we tend to live such a defeated life? Is it because we don’t know who we are? Is it because we don’t take God at His word? Is it because we don’t know His word and His promises to us? The answer for most is probably a combination of all of these. I believe it is time to rise up and operate like we know who and whose we are. It is time to claim our place in the Kingdom.

No more defeated attitudes when we face trials and tests.

No more being timid and fearful to do the things that God said we could do.

No more hanging our heads in the face of adversity.

Let me remind you that we are the King’s children; His heirs. Not just any King, THE KING OF KINGS! Don’t let the enemy convince you that you are without authority or powerless. Take your place in God. Rejoice!
