God gave us dominion over all things. The word, ‘Dominion’ is derived from the Hebrew word ‘mamlaka’ which means to lead, to exercise influence, to rule and to be in charge. As a believer, God expects you to exercise dominion on every side (Genesis 1:26, Palms 8:6). The number one tool for exercising dominion is the force of faith. Nothing works in God’s kingdom without faith. Faith is the propeller of every kingdom exploits and advancement. When you receive faith, you receive a change of status. Vision becomes television without faith. Nothing can be received without faith. Every other tool for dominion thrives on faith. Faith is the livewire of every believer. Faith is the bow that shoots the arrow of your destiny to the top. Faith is the driving force of every believer (Hebrews 11:1, Habakkuk 2:4, Romans 1:17, James 1:5, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38).
Why Do I Need This Spirit Of Faith For Dominion?
There is war over your soul (Zechariah 1:17, Ephesians 6:10-16). Faith is a fundamental fact of our existence, the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. For everything that will ever work out, faith is needed. Faith is the strength needed to fight problems.
Faith can only be used to exercise dominion if it is based on reckless love for God (Galatians 5:6). Three ways this love can be expressed are:
- Total commitment to the things of God (Deuteronomy 30:6, 11, 20, 19:9, Psalms 91:14).
- An excited sacrificial giving. True lovers are givers. You cannot access God’s kind of prosperity until He becomes your priority (1 Chronicles 29:1-5)
- An aggressive and conscious taking risk for God here on earth (Nehemiah 2:2-3, 1 Kings 8:4, Esther 4:16, Hebrews 11:32-40, Obadiah 1:21)
