TOPIC: MAN'S LOST DOMINION REGAINED THROUGH CHRIST.

PSALMS 8:4; JOHN 7:17-18; 14:4; PSALMS 39:5; HEBREWS 2:6-9

I welcome you to our Tuesday's Development session for our Leaders, and I pray that, this will be a real development for everyone of us IN Jesus Name, Amen. I want to encourage you that as leaders, and as we look at the word of God, there maybe things that are appear new, but you will not just say you don't understand that, but you will move on, and you will move up and you will move forward in your understanding of the Scriptures, because today we are dealing with something very important and very specific that will be a blessing to you and to everyone of us.

* Here is the Psalmist asking a particular question from the Lord, and the question is, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him"?Just look at this question for a moment, the Psalmist is asking this question from the Lord Himself, you know when you have a question, you can ask from different people, and as you look at this question coming from the Psalmist, he didn't asked anybody but he went to ask the Lord Himself, this question was a great question, and the question is, "what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him"? You could ask Job and his friends, and you'll be surprised what answer they are going to give you. Job also asked the same question, and he said, What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? You see Job and his friends had a different concepts about man, what is man?  And as you think about there understanding about man, Job and his friends are saying, man is unclean, man is unrighteous, man is unacceptable, man is so weak and you cannot put any weight on him, Job said, who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one, and now if you're to ask people like Solomon, or ask even theological or ask the Philosopher of today, they will not reveal the divine truth, but when you ask God, only God can give the full answer, and the comprehensive answer that will be complete, because the Lord will be thinking of His ability, He will be thinking of his creative ability, and when you ask about man from God, without the Grace of God, man can do nothing, so when you ask question "what is man" you must make up your mind to ask a man with Grace, a man with faith, a faith with the nature of God, a man with likeness to Christ, don't ask man by himself, when you see a question in the Bible, you must be asking the right person, and when you have a question challenge in your life, the question you're asking must be to the Almighty God Himself from the book of God, and then you will know and He will tell you who you are.

When grace comes to man, when a man becomes a child of God, how do we describe him, what is man?

✔️ He's a believer.
✔️ he's a man of faith.
✔️ he's a man indwelt by Holy Ghost.
✔️ he's a man indwelt by Christ.
✔️ he's a man indwelt by the Almighty Himself, because JESUS said, He and His Father will come unto that believer, and make their abode in him. A man like that, that has the solid foundation on the word of God is a man of grace.
The same question that we have read in Job, the same same question that we have read in the Psalms, the same question we are now coming to in the New Testament, we can see that in Hebrew chapter 2, But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands. Understand that is New Testament and this is revelation, understand what Angels can do and what redeemed man, transformed man, children of God can do, we can begin to think about what we can do, and compare it with what an angel ‎can do, in fact as you look at what Angels can do:
✔️ Angels are not given the word of God to preach.
✔️ Angels are not given Power to overcome Satan and the devil.
✔️ Angels are not given the Opportunity of the Redemption we have
✔️ Angels are not given the opportunity of Power, and the promises and the possibilities we have in our lives. In fact, he says, Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands, But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For the suffering of death, He was made a little lower than Angels, so as to take our place, so as to take our substitute, He was made a little lower than the angels to be like us, so we can be like Him.

Having taken our death away it befitted Him, it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. If you were to place your question there, what is man?  Already now we have been saved, we are born again, we are children of God, our names are in the book of life, He has given us power to go and sin no more, He's brought us into Glory, He's brought us unto God, and now you're asking what is man? He's to make the captain of our Salvation through suffering.

think about Enoch and compare Enoch with Adam, you'll see that, Adam had dominion but he doesn't make use of it, and once Enoch became to know the Lord, and the Lord brought him out of the degradation, out of the defilement, out of the depravity, he walked with God 300years,  and as you compare him with Adam, you'll understand what Grace can do in the life of a man.

Think about Joseph, you know his story, and you know the the gift and the Grace in his life, and if you compare Joseph with Adam, you'll see the different, these are the people that didn't just follow and go down the drain because they are the descendants of Adam, but they make use of the dominion they had.

Moses also make use of the dominion he had, the rod in his hand brought water out of the Rock, a man that walked and lived as if he saw the invisible.

Think about Joshuah, the dominion that God gave him, he make use of it, but Adam didn't make use of the dominion God gave to him, there was no time that Adam told the sun to stop or the moon to to come to stand still, he didn't used that dominion but think about Joshua, he was on the battle's field and he told the sun to stay there, and he told the moon to stay there, he had the dominion and he used the dominion.

Think about Elijah, he came to Ahab and he looked at him with the dominion and the power that he had, and he said, according to my word, there will be no rain, and actually there was no rain for three and half years.

 Elisha had a double portion of the Spirit of God because he make use of the dominion he had, when you read your Bible and it says what is man? You don't line up before the defeated men, you don't line up behind the people who can be nothing, Elisha did not think like an ordinary man, even when the chariots of the enemies compassed him and his servants, his servants said what are we going to do because of these chariots? But Elisha make use of the dominion and power given to him, and their enemies were defeated. You see the understanding of those selected people.

Think about Daniel, he was in the lion's den, he didn't say what can I do? that man had dominion over the lions all through the night, and when the king came to him in the morning, he said Daniel are you still there?  And Daniel said, praise the Lord the lions have not be able to hurt me, that's a man that had the Authority, power and dominion.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego they had dominion, and when Nebuchadnezzar said they should bow to his image or else he will send them to the burning fiery furnace, they didn't say what is man before the fire, they had dominion over the fire , the point I'm making to you is, this when you read the question "what is man"? You're not going to say, man is nothing, man can do nothing, or man is weak, and you're not going to say man cannot have dominion and success and victory, but when you understand Grace we have, when you understand the possibilities we have, and when you think of the promises of God that we have, those, you will understand that, a man with Grace, a man with righteousness, a man with possibilities, a man with power of God in his life is not an ordinary man.

when we come to the New Testament. Do you remember Peter, he had dominion and he had the power that the Lord had given him, he realized that dominion and he walked on the water.

think about John, they put him in a bowl, in a drum of boiling oil, that's more terrible than boiling water and it had no effect on him because he made used of that dominion he had.

Think about Stephen that when people looked at him, they saw his face as if he was an Angel.

You think about Phillip, just a deacon in the House of God, he was just a deacon among the people of God, and he went down to Samaria and then he had Authority over the evil spirit, and he had Authority over those sicknesses and there was great Joy in the whole city.

Think about Paul and Silas in the dungeon and in the prison, and in the midnight, they sang a song unto the Lord, they were praising the Lord and praying unto God, and the foundation of the prison were shaken and then all the people were delivered from all the things that will hurt them, those are the men with Grace of God.

That's why we are taking on the man's lost dominion regained through Christ, that's the original dominion that He has given to Adam and he lost it. He didn't make use of it before he fell, and he lost that dominion and today we are taking about the recovery of that dominion, and the regaining of that dominion, dominion will come into your life today, power will come into your life, and more authority will come into your life. And when you stand ‎In the Name of Jesus, and you mention the Name of Jesus, no power will be able to stand before you IN Jesus Name Amen. This dominion was lost by man, but regained by the Lord Jesus Christ.

POINT ONE: THE POSITION AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRST MAN.

That first man was Adam, God placed him on position, and He gave him the power, but he lost it.

I the Dominion and the Description of that fell man. Genesis 1:26-28; Ephesians 4:24; Colosians 3:10.
When man was made, when the first man came out of the hand of our Creator God, he was made after the likeness of God, anyone coming out of the hand of Almighty God, created by the Almighty God, he will have dominion over all the earth, God created man in His likeness, in His Own Image.

What is the Image of God in which God Created man?

✔️it's the Image of Holiness.
✔️ it's the image of Righteousness.
✔️ it's the image of Power.
✔️ it's the image of great possibilities.
The greatness that God had  He created man in His Own Image, not in the image of an Angel, not in the image of fallen Lucifer, not in the image of a downtrodden personality, but in His Own Image, and God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. When God created man, when God brings a man from the wilderness of sin he will be an image of God, that's the godly man, that's the righteous man unto God, He blesses him and if you're a child of God, if you're born again by the Lord Himself, you're blessed and don't degrade yourself, and don't allow anything to have dominion over you. God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. That word "Subdue" is to overcome, it means to have dominion over the whole earth, understand ‎the language of the scriptures "IN THE IMAGE OF GOD", created He them after His likeness, He created them to be like Him  when God created man, that creation was after His image, after His likeness, that means He was created in righteousness, that means he was created in true Holiness, he had dominion over sin, he had power over sin, he had a renewed heart, he had righteousness, holiness, godliness because he was created after the image of God, and he also renewed in knowledge. Adam had knowledge, he had wisdom and he had the nature of God and the nature of righteousness.

II. The Character and the Description of the foundational first man. Genesis 5"1-2,22-24; Psalms 8:3-5; Ephesians 2:5. As he came out of the hand of God, that's a man of foundation of the humanity and the foundation of all people that will come to the earth. That's why it referred to him as the first man  that's why we are referring to him as the foundation man.
✔️ God made him in the likeness of righteousness,
✔️in the likeness of His Authority,
✔️in the likeness of His exaltation,
✔️in the likeness of Holiness.
✔️ in the likeness of purity. The Lord didn't make anyone different and He didn't created the woman lower not to have enough righteousness, He didn't created woman lower not to have holiness, as much purity, we much dominion, as much power, the same Power, the same possibilities, the same authority the man had, that's what the woman have also. And when God created them, He called them Adam, that is Mr and Mrs Adam, having the same surname, He created Adam and Even, and both of them Joined together, He named them and He called them Adam. without seeing a specimen of man that had that same dominion, and righteousness, and Enoch walked with God and the New Testament tells us that he was a man of faith
✔️ he was a man of faith, he was a man power,
.✔️ he was a man of faith, he was a man of dominion,
✔️ he was a man of faith, he was a man of holiness and righteousness,
✔️ he was a man of faith, he was a man of purity, ‎ And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. That's the dominion, that's the character of description of the man when he first came out of the hand of God, in the highest creatures of God, he's the man that God delight in, he's a man that God out His image and His likeness upon, that's why God is mindful of him, have you notice when Lucifer fell, God didn't raised up redeemer, and when man fell, God raised up A Redeemer for him, when man became the dissociated, and separated from God, and went into the defilement and went into the degradation, and went into sin, God raised up A Redeemer God is mindful of man, God is mindful of His creatures, and He's mindful of us. Whenever we read the Old Testament, you must also understand the New Testament perception of what you're reading. now, we are born again, now we are redeemed because God is mindful of us, the Scriptures tells us that, Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. We are raised up and we are sited together with Christ in the heavenly places. In fact, He says Jesus had become our proper substitute, we are crucified with Him, we died with Him, we are buried with Him, we are raised up together with Him, the New Testament says, in Colossians  1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, he says we are translated out of the Kingdom of darkness, and we are translated into His own Kingdom. Now you understand when in the past He made him a little lower than the angels, but now we are sited with Christ, now He has lifted us up, now He has raised us up and now, He has said if you can openly believe, all things are possible. Lift up your FAITH, raise up your faith, increase your faith, actuate your faith, and when that faith comes alive, all the Dominion that God has for you, you're going to have IN Jesus Name Amen. He made him to ‎have dominion over everything God made, God put man over above to overcome and to have dominion, and to subdue everything and to have everything under control, God will lift you higher today, God Himself will manifest this understanding of a man of faith in your life even more than ever before IN Jesus Name Amen.

II.  The commendation and the dominance of Faith- fortified man. Hebrew 11:5-6; 1 John 4:17. The man fortified by Faith, the man energized by Faith, the man indwelt by Faith, the commendation of such a man, the dominance of such a man is what we are looking at in this session.

We have Enoch, we have Abel, we have Noah, we have Abraham, we have Sarah, we have Isaac, we have Jacob, we have Joseph, we have Moses, we have the parents of Moses, and then we have all those other people, the time will fail us to mention Gideon, and all the prophets who through faith subdued Kingdom, but somebody here is missing, there's no Adam here, you see Adam, he didn't make use of faith, he didn't make use of the dominion the Lord had given him, he wasn't fortified by Faith, he wasn't energized by Faith, and so when we write about heroes of faith in the all of faith, he was missing because he doesn't have faith. when you have faith, that's when the dominion is going to be activated, when you have faith in God, that's when the power is going to be activated.
Enoch was a man of faith, the New Testament tells us, that by faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Anyone that doesn't have faith in God the Creator, anyone that doesn't have faith in Christ our Recreator the one who has come to recreate us, and without faith in the word of God, the word of Almighty God, anyone that does not have Faith in God was not reckoned of such an individual. Faith is more important and faith is what God is looking at, and as you're fortified by Faith, as you're energized by Faith, and as you're indwelt by Faith, that original dominion you have, you will manifest in every area of your life.

And when you're fortified by Faith.
✔️Sin will not have dominion over you.
✔️ sickness will not have dominion over you.
✔️ Satan will not have dominion over you.
✔️ satanic power, ocultic power will not have dominion over you.  And all you need is to be fortified, energized and indwelt by Faith.

By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

We can also picture Moses before Pharaoh ,By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Moses was not a conquered man, he was not a coward man, he was not a downtrodden man, he stood in his foot stature because he was a man of dominion, he was a man of courage, he was a man of power, by faith he forsook Egypt, he was a man of dominion, he does not fear a king, he does not fear Satan and demons, he does not fear any personality because by faith he stood his foot stature. That's what the Lord is telling us, He wants us to have that same dominion, that sane authority and that same Power.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. Here the Lord is telling us about who we are, we have believed the gospel, we have believed in what He did for us at Calvary, we have believed those words "IT IS FINISHED ", and because our faith in Him and because of the power and Authority and the possibilities we now have, herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. If we are going to have boldness in the day of Judgement, herein the day of grace we have fullness in the day of our Provision, we have ‎boldness in the day of our pilgrimage, we have the boldness and then we go with that boldness of the child of God, when you have faith in Christ, when you're infilled by grace, saturated by the Grace of God, and you're moving on you're propel by Faith in Christ, as He is, in the case of Adam, he had dominion but he didn't know how to cherished that dominion, he didn't know how to cherished that power, he didn't know how to value and keep and to exercise that dominion. And he allowed a little thing to make him fall from Grace, and fall from power, and fall from dominion.

POINT TWO: THE POLLUTION AND THE DEFILEMENT OF THE FALLEN MAN.

JOB 7:17-18; 15:14-16; PSALMS 144:3

You've heard in your understanding in your studying of the scriptures the fall of man, that is when Adam and Eve yielded to the suggestion of the devil, they yielded to the deception and the subtilty of the devil, and they fell from the position the Lord had given them. it's now we are asking the question, what is man?  Like Job asked the question, what is man? This question was placed immediately after the fall of man, and not considering the people that have power and dominion. This answer we are going to give now, the answer is going to come in the light of the fall of man. Job is talking about man after the fall, man the descendants of Adam, in depravity, in defilement, so you can't take this and spread it all over the passages of the whole of the New Testament, and then forget Calvary, and then forget Christ and then forget the faith that Christ has the dominion on our behalf, and because He overcame, we will also overcome, he's trying to answer who is man, and he said, man is abominable, Job said, how much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
When Job said the man is abominable,
✔️ understand that he's talking about the man without grace.
✔️ he's talking about the man without faith.
✔️ he's talking about the man without redemption. Many of the people in the Bible we are interested in their questions‎ "what is man"? And here the Psalmist is asking, he says, LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! And he described man like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away.

✔️ man without Grace is like unto vanity .
✔️ man without Faith is like unto vanity.
✔️ man without Christ is like unto vanity.
✔️ man without conversion by Christ is like unto vanity.
✔️ man without connection with Christ is like unto vanity.
✔️ man without sitting with Christ up above in the heavenly places, that man is like unto vanity.
✔️ man without the result and the redemption of Calvary, that man is like unto vanity. All that is taking because:

I the fall of man. Genesis 3:6,9-11; Job 31:33; 1 Timothy 2:13. The devil in form of the serpent has been talking to the woman, trying to convince the woman, and he said she will not die, she can do whatever she want, she can eat those forbidden fruit, and he received the woman, in fact Satan said, her eyes will be open and she will be as God, knowing good and evil, and the woman reasoned with Satan, and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. take note of this, don't ever reason with Satan, don't ever commune with the devil, don't ever discuss with the enemy of your soul, Satan has lost his own dominion, and he wanted man to also losses his own dominion, and because of that, he wanted the man to fall. Understand, Adam was not far away when the devil was discussing with Eve, he knew what was happening, the devil didn't take on Adam to start with, and Adam just stay there looking at them, you know there are some husbands also, they know when temptation is coming to their wives, they just stay there and look and gaze at the whole thing, and they know what is going on between their wives and the Lucifer the devil and the deceiver, and the seducer, and they just wait and look, Adam had dominion, he should have exercised that dominion but no, he will not, and the result is,
✔️they lost the Glory of God,
✔️ they lost the power of God,
✔️ they lost the image of God,
✔️they lost the likeness of God,
✔️ they lost the righteousness of God.
✔️ they lost the Nature of God.
✔️ they lost the purity and godliness of God
And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? Because God couldn't found him in the position of Authority, in the position of power, and in the position of dominion, He couldn't found him there, and he went and hid himself because of fear, and you understand there was no fear at the beginning, there was no fear of animals at the beginning, there was no fear of lion at the beginning, there was no fear of snakes at the beginning, there was no fear of any creature coming from the sky, and coming from the depth of the sea, and coming from anywhere, there was no fear, and it was like a baby before his parent, that doesn't fear his parents, but now man has fallen and he hid himself, he was weak after the fallen, he fell from Grace, he became a filthy man, he was now hiding himself, but you understand, Adam did not do well, he didn't confessed, he didn't asked for forgiveness, he only gave excuses, he covered his guilt, he covered his sinfulness, he covered his action, he hid his iniquity in his bosom, Adam was with her wife when the devil was deceiving her, he knew what was going on, and he went with his eyes opened into sin, into defilement, and into the degradation, because of his love for his wife, he wasn't deceived, he knew what was going on, the woman was deceived, and the woman in the transgression, and the woman that has fallen now had dominion and power and influence on Adam, that was not deceived. That's why if you're a man, and you're husband, and you're a man, you're a father, you're a man, you're a leader, you must hold on to that leadership, if other people are deceived and fallen, and they come to Understand your position, understand your leadership, and understand who you are, and where you stand and don't be like Adam that gave excuse, you were created in the image of God, you could take your stand, you could report that situation back to God, and God will dealt with it.

II.  As a result of that fall of man, we have the filthiness of all men.  Isiah 48?8; 64:6-7; Romans 3:10-20,23
Man fell and that brings filthiness upon all men, by sin of Adam, defilement enter into the world,  degradation enter into the world, defeat enter into the world, and then finally, death enter into the world and pass on all men. We now had the nature of Adam and because of that nature of Adam, it became the practices of everyone because of the fall of man, now you have the filthiness of all man before salvation, before believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, we have filthiness of all men, everyone continues in the depravity and the nature of Adam became their nature, you came into this world by the nature of Adam, and you're not Born again because you're born by a Christian's parents, the nature of Adam and everything about Adam is implanted in the heart of the children from the bright, nobody teaches a child to lie, he doesn't see example in any other person to tell a lie, and that child just pick lie up, that's the nature of Adam, that's the depravity, we need power from Calvary, we need power from the Cross of Calvary, we need power from the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the habit of sin and the nature of sin is still there because we have the transgression from the womb, everyone without Christ, born of woman, everyone before salvation are as an unclean thing, and all the righteousness of a moral man, and all the philosophy of man, and it's the righteousness of psychological man, and hypocritical man, all our righteousness are as filthy rag, we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away, before we come to Christ, And before we know Him as our Saviour, as our substitute, as our Redeemer, and as our propitiation for sin  and as the one that has come to bring complete redemption for us, before we know Him, we are all gone out of the way and man will continue to fall, man will continue in sinning, as long as he does not have the Grace of God, and faith in God, and faith in Christ, and faith in the finished work of Calvary, that's why we have the failure of man until we come to Christ and He cleanses us from Adamic nature.

III.  You have the failure, the feebleness of all men.  Genesis 6:5; Jeremiah 13:23; Romans 7:15-20; Ephesians 2:1-5. Every imagination of men was evil, and their hearts is full of only evil, and because that's what man is, because without help from above, without redemption, without forgiveness, every man is so powerless, and so feeble, he cannot overcome sin by himself, that's why JESUS said without Him we can do nothing. Nothing profitable, nothing good, nothing clean, nothing righteous, nothing Holy, without the Grace of God, there is impossibilities to live righteous by himself, there's degradation, if you don't have Christ, if you don't have faith in Christ, if you don't have the dominion that Christ has purchased for us on the Cross of Calvary, what you have is what you will do because you see the consequences, because you see your lost, because you loose what you have, and yet even though you see all that you don't love in your life, yet you're powerless until you come to Christ. it is no more you that do it, but sin that dwelleth in you, you're not willing to do evil, but because of the Sin that sit on the throne of your heart, sin that controls you from the heart, because of that sin that has dominion over you in the heart, and because of the depravity is at work, the original sin and weakness is at work, that's why you couldn't be free from sin. But God Loves us, He's going to recreate you, when Lucifer fell, He doesn't redeemed him, when angels fell, He was not running after them, but in case of man, when man fell, God raised up the plan of salvation, He raised us the way which we can be forgiven.

POINT THREE: THE PROMISE OF DOMINION FOR THE FAITHFUL MAN.

HEBREWS 2:6-8; ISAIAH 9:6-11

The man indwelt by Faith, the man fortified by Faith, the man energized by Faith, and the man filled by Faith, the man that is full of faith and full of the Holy Ghost will have the Dominion and the promises of God.  Now the grace comes in, the promises of God comes in, we have the possibilities, we have,
 the dominion, we have the authority, and we now have the promises of God. When you have faith in God, when you place your faith in God, and when you stand in that faith in what Calvary has done for us, now the promises we have now is the authority and Dominion. Visit Calvary and as you're coming to Calvary, you're coming under the Blood of the Lamb that washes you, that cleanses us, that redeems you, and now you're no more like the man of the old covenant, but and the man in the New covenant. And He now crowns you with glory and with Honour, and the Scriptures tells us that, God hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. He left nothing that is not put under Him, when you read your Bible, and once you understand the single sentence in the Bible, you will have the dominion.
We have read about Calvary.
We have read about Redemption.
We have read about His provision for those who are saved, born again, and now it goes to the time of the second coming and He goes to the time of the millennia reign, when everything will be literally under Him, and He will reign over everything. literally, He says He's King, and He's going to reign, He's reigning now in the lives, in the hearts of the believers, yet, has not set up the millennia reign, the time will come, when all things will be under Him. We now see the ransomed, the righteous brought into dominion of the present day through the accomplishments work at Calvary, but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. He says now, we have not seen everything put under Him, the millennia reign is coming and it'll come later, but now He's saying, But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. He and finished our redemption on the cross, He has tasted death for everyone, and He will not die again, as the result of that death on the Cross of Calvary, the result of Calvary brought many to Salvation and sanctification, for both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren, we have the same privilege, we have the same dominion, we have the same Power and Jesus our Saviour, our sanctifier, Saved us, He sanctifies us and they who are saved and sanctified, purified and made Holy and made righteous, and they who have that original sin taken away, and they who are sanctified, we are on One, we are like Him, He came to take our place so that we can get to His place, and so that He can brings us to dominion.

I our Redemption and Dominion over Sin.  Ephesian 1:7; Colosians 1:13-14; Romans 6:11-14; Titus 2:11-1214.  He says, we have that redemption already, we have that freedom and forgiveness already, freedom and forgiveness goes together, and He gives us salvation and Authority over that sin, we have the forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace. It's done already, He and redeemed us already, just stand up and claim it, actually with salvation, with redemption, with forgiveness, and with freedom, He and translated us into The Kingdom of His dear Son, In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Now, it's done, reckon it done, believe it done, accept it like it's done, accept it like Abraham and reckon it like Abraham reckoned it, promise of God has been given, and he staggered not at the promises of God, also in your life, reckon it done, because it's done, and you'll see it. Now, you have the Power, now you have the Authority, and He says, don't allow sin to have dominion over you, because of redemption you have, you will have dominion over sin, we can because the Grace of God is there, when you have dominion, He says we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. We we are in that position of dominion over sin, that's the only time we can be looking for the blessed hope and the glorious saviour Jesus Christ. For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Now you can recover your dominion, look at the dominion that we have.

II. Our Recovery of Dominion through Sanctification. Hebrews 2:11; 10:14-17; 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24.
The Lord Jesus Christ tells us that, both He that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, some people got sanctified before and those who are still going to be sanctified can be sanctified, because He can do it, and He's still in the business of sanctifying, everyone who come and consecrate will be sanctified, you understand, many people were saved many years ago  and salvation did not stop just from there, and after that, other people got saved and after that, other people are getting saved, and today others who are going to call on the Name of God are going to be saved and tomorrow other people who are going to be saved are going to be saved, and sanctification has not stopped, many people got sanctified and those who are going to be sanctified will be sanctified, because Christ is still in the business of‎ Sanctifying everyone who comes, who prays, who consecrates ,and who believes for that sanctification. He says, for both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, He brings us into the congregation of the Saints who are sanctified and set apart by the sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary, that's the offering, that's the sacrifice, that between He that purifies us, that cleanses us and sanctifies us, and that takes away that adamic nature away from us, for both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, He's Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. He's not shedding the Blood over and over, and He's not going to Calvary over and over, the redemption He and proclaimed, and the the redemption He has purchased for us is still at work today, He forgives all our sins, He forgets all our past sin, He frees us from all our Past sin, and He raises us up and He place us on the throne to be with Christ, and He grants us dominion through that sanctification. Now, that we are children of God, cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb, He says, Abstain from all appearance of evil.

III. our Realization of Dominion During service. Acts 1:1,8; 4:33; 6:8,10; 8:5-8; Luke 10:17.
When we are serving the Lord, that's when dominion comes, and that is when you can exercise that dominion. The dominion will not be exercised if we don't have the service we are rendering to the Lord.

✔️  it was while Moses was ministering to the people, and bringing water out of the Rock, that's when he had dominion, it was when he obediently went to Pharaoh, and said let my people go, that's when he had the dominion, it is when you're in service and when you're doing what you ought to do before the Lord, that is when you're going to have the dominion.

✔️ it was while Joshua was on the battle's field and he needed extra time so that he could have
the total victory, it was when he was in service that that dominion came,.

✔️ it was when Elijah saw the wickedness of the nation and he wanted to bring them back to God  and he exercise the power of God that there should be no rain for three and half years, that was when he had dominion.

✔️ it was when Shadrach  Meshach and Abednego had dominion over the fire when they are taking their stand for God, it was during that time of serving the Lord thy had dominion.

✔️ Daniel had victory over the lion because he prayed when the king decreed that nobody should pray, but Daniel prayed all the same, it was when he was serving the Lord that was the time he had dominion.

✔️it was while Paul the Apostle told the the lame man to stand up right on his feet, and the man stood up and he walked, it was while he was in the service unto the Lord that he had dominion.

✔️ when Paul and Silas shake the prison door, and all those foundations of the prison were shaken, and every one's bands were loosed, when they were serving the Lord and through that service, they were put to the prison, and then they sang and praises to the Lord and they prayed and the prison doors were open, that's when they had the dominion. There's going to be realization of dominion in your ministry, in your life when you are occupied and you're busy in the service of the Lord, when you continue in what Jesus began to do and you preach the word of God, that's when you will have dominion. The word "began" shows that Jesus has not finished the work, and what He would have been doing if He were here now, what He began to do, He will continue to do,.

✔️ and when those disciples continued both to teach and to preach, that is when the Authority came and power was manifested.

It's when you're witnessing unto the Lord, that's when that dominion will be realized, not when you're idle, not when you're sitting down and doing nothing, and not when you're cowading behind the close door, it's when the disciples were giving the witnesses of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, great grace and great power was upon them, you must be doing something, you must be preaching the word of God, you must be exalting Christ, you must be serving the Lord, it's only at that time you will come to the realization of the dominion in your life.

✔️ Stephen was speaking and preaching, that's when the wisdom came, he was preaching, that's when the purity came, it's while you're serving the Lord that you'll come to the exercise of the dominion. You must be doing something, preaching the word and you must be emphasising the word of God, earnestly contending for the Faith, it's while you're in the midst of doing something for God, and it's while you're in the center of serving the Lord, that's when you will have dominion. Let sinners hear something from you, let the world hear something from you, let your neighbours hear something from you, let them see Christ as their Saviour and substitute, it's while you're preaching the gospel that you will have dominion.

✔️ Philip went down to Samaria, he was preaching, he was declaring the word of God, he was busy in the service of the Lord, and because of that, there was great Joy in that city, it's while you're in the service of the Lord, power, dominion, authority will be multiplied and manifested in your life, through your life and through your ministry, and through your service.

✔️ the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. If they didn't leave for service, they will not return again with Joy, if you don't go out, if you don't rise up, and go you will not return with Joy, it's while you're in the service, during the service for the Lord, that is when the dominion will be realized in your life, the seventy had the power, they had dominion, they had authority, and the Lord says, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Here was before Calvary, He told the paralyzed man that his ‎sins were forgiven, the benefits of Calvary given to that man was before the Calvary, the benefit of Calvary was given to many people during the ministry of Christ before Calvary, the benefits of Calvary was given to the 70 before Calvary, and how much more now after Calvary? It's given unto us, the Authority and the power and dominion is given unto us. Jesus said, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. But many people don't understand this, just like someone who was going out with his car key, but unknowingly to him, the car key is inside his pocket, but he searches every area of the house but he could not found it until his wife says, the key is inside his pocket, that's the condition of many people today, they are running to the mountain and they are running to the valley, and they are fasting and turning to here and there searching for power, they don't know Christ has given them the power  the key of the kingdom and the key of heaven has been given them  but they don't understand, they don't understand that, whatever they binds on the earth will be binds in heaven, and whatever they loose on earth will be loosed in heaven, Adam did not had more than that, Adam in the first creation, as God gave him dominion, he didn't have more than that, he didn't have more than what Christ has given us, the dominion that stopped the sun and moon, he didn't have more than that, even when Cain murdered Abel, Adam did not have an attempt to raise him up, but look at Elijah and Elisha, they raised up the dead, bad now Christ has given us power, and He says we should go to all the whole world and preaching the gospelz and cast out devil, He has given us power and dominion, and Authority, the authority and the Dominion we lost in Adam, we are regaining it back. The key is in your hand, already you have dominion and power, use them, use them and the Lord will continue to be with you. ‎
