By walking in the
By doing the WILL of the Father
John 3:20-21 NLT

Message title: Walking in the Dominion in Christ
Note: Your Diminion in Christ as a child of God is your Pride that must be nurtured.
From the beginning God gave man Dominion.
Gen. 1:28
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be afruitful, and bmultiply, and creplenish the dearth, and subdue it: and have edominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis chapter 3, man lost his Dominion to sin.
Thanks be to God, Jesus Christ came and redeemed us back to Dominion and made the redemptive provision available to all.
Let’s give a description to the word “Dominion” from the scriptures:
Psalm 66:3
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
Jeremiah 1:9-10
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
John 10:17-18
17 The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again.
18 No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice it voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded
John 1:4-5
4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Having looked at the word Dominion, which is the desire of God for all his children, we will look at how do I work in Dominion.
How do I walk in Dominion?
Give your life to Jesus Christ
He said in Matthew 11:28, come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, I will give you rest.
Note: Salvation is your number one access to Dominion
Walk in the light of the word of God
Why must we walk in the Light?
To win God’s affirmation
The dark places of the earth are full of wickedness/ cruelty/ violence

20 Remember your covenant promises, for the land is full of darkness and violence!
John 1:4-5
Psalm 119:105/ 130
Romans 13:12: Put on the Armour of Light
Daniel 5:13-14. KJV
13Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spoke and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom (insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom) is found in thee.
Note: It is the amounts of Light you carry that determine your dominion in Life.
The quality of Life is in the Light. The more light you have, the more your life become enriched.
