Plant and Dominate
(Part 1)
Bible Text: 1 Peter 2v9,
Matt. 16v18, Matt. 28v18, 1Tim.2:3-4, Ps. 92v13
To be planted in God’s
house and to dominate every sphere of influence, especially in our local church.
priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the
praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1
Peter 2:9). God has appointed us “…kings and
priests: and we shall reign on the earth,” according to Revelation 5:10.
This is strong! Let’s look at something noteworthy about Adam, the first man,
to better comprehend what God had in mind when He made us rulers. “Let us
make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the
fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth,” said God on the day
He created him. As a result, God made both males and females in his image,
creating man in the process. God also favoured them.
