We’re Created to Have Dominion, Not to Dominant Others

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. In creation He prepared, formed, and fashioned the heavens and earth to be suitable for all life. Everything created was for God’s pleasure and mankind was created to oversee and tend the earth (Revelation 4:11). We are gods on the earth (Psalm 82:6), and kings under King Jesus, and lords under the Lord God to rule, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, fowl of the air, and all living things on the planet (Genesis 1:26). The fact that we are made in God’s image and likeness, is exemplified through man’s involvement in dealing with others. We have the tendency to want to rule over, and even control other human beings, which is not in the original manuscript of life on earth as per God. Ever since sin entered the world, everything has been contaminated by the sinful nature introduced through Adam and Eve’s disobedience. God knew mankind would not be strong enough to resist temptation without Him, and that is why Jesus was sent to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). Now we have the opportunity to live life as God intended from the beginning. Get saved (Romans 10:9-10), and regain your dominion, and authority over the devil.
