Section 4: The Power of Shared Dominion
Dominion is not domination but stewardship, reflecting your Creator’s vision through leadership and care. Your role as a co-partner with the Creator is to govern with wisdom, transforming the earth by aligning with divine purpose.
The Creator made man in their image and likeness to have dominion. The core motivation for The Manufacturer’s creation of mankind is not religious practice or subservience. Instead, The Creator’s primary desire for mankind was fellowship in the form of co-partnership between man and the Manufacturer. The Creator’s ultimate vision was for mankind to have co-partnership in the purposeful work of having dominion. Mankind’s responsibility is to have dominion over the earth, while The Creator has dominion over the heavens.
This co-partnership was designed to be the ultimate display of servant leadership. The word dominion comes from the Latin root “dominium” which means ownership or right of ownership. This word is also derived from the Latin word dominus, meaning Lord or master over a household or kingdom. A ruler of a kingdom does more than subjugate, the ruler of a kingdom governs and takes responsibility if the subjects within a kingdom. Mankind is called to be the primary ruler and caretaker of everything in the earth, while The Most High is a caretaker of the heavens, heavenly power and heavenly beings.
The duality of mankind is that human beings are heavenly beings in earthen bodies. However, many of us are trapped in seeing ourselves from the perspective of being earthen beings with a desire for heavenly bodies, when our access has already been granted and our legitimacy in both realms has already been pre-established. Imagine if we could truly see ourselves as what we have truly been designed to be. We would not worry, doubt or fear as much as we do.
How would your world change if you would change your self-perception and your self-talk?
Remember Your Manufacturer wants to enlarge your vision of what you have and what you possess the power to do. The Most High wants you to see the storehouses of blessing that presently surround you. Your perception and self-talk is transformed by self-education and by spending time reading God’s Word. The Word should be a treasure of knowledge and inspiration for you. The Scripture should be where you go with confidence to find Your Creator’s thoughts. It is important that you embrace the truth that Your Creator wants you to know their thoughts so that you can anchor your faith in the power of their promises.
“My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither ar your ways My ways” - Isaiah 55:8
When Your Manufacturer says our thoughts are not His thoughts, we are being reminded that ours should be like His, and with Him and through Him our thoughts can be more like His. Our Creator wants us to have a mind like His. He told us through the apostle Paul to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. He wants you to know and obey His will- doing what is pleasing and acceptable in His sight. (Romans 12:2)
Your Creator wants you to think like Him so that you can have the power to realize your potential, and transform the world around you. But to do that you need to adopt God’s mind and attitude toward yourself. He desires that you think about yourself the way He does. Your power and potential is boundless and limitless.
