You've probably heard that too, generally in long, religious-sounding tones when things don't appear to be working out as God has promised in His Word.

God is, without a doubt, the supreme ruler. “You never know what God is going to do,” people are truly saying behind that phrase.
The issue with such perspective on sovereignty is that it absolves us of all accountability. After all, since God is sovereign, He will do as He pleases, so we might as well turn on the TV and forget about it, right? Wrong.
God placed people in charge, gave us authority, and placed everything beneath our feet, according to Psalm 8:6. He does not arbitrarily intervene in the affairs of the Earth. He honors the authority and control He has bestowed upon us.
Dominion Means Operating In the Anointing
Dominion is a gift from God to His people that requires the miraculous Anointing of the Holy Spirit. It is yours, but it is not automatic. It takes trust, love, and anointing to operate in the anointing.
“To pour out on, spread on, or smear on,” the verb anoint indicates. That is why we anoint with oil, which symbolizes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
Operating in the anointing provides you the power to rule over every aspect of your life and accomplish things you'd never be able to achieve otherwise. Samson's incredible power and ability to defeat his foes came from the anointing. David was able to defeat Goliath thanks to the anointing. And it was the anointing that gave Joseph the expertise he needed to successfully administer a large estate for Potiphar.
You can receive the same anointing today. If you want to have dominion, expect to work in the anointing!
Dominion Means Prospering Financially
“The LORD will open the heavens for you, His good treasure house, to provide rain to your land in its season and to bless all your work; and you will lend to many nations but not borrow.” 28:12 (Deuteronomy) (AMP)
Dominance is what separates you from the rest of the world, especially in terms of money. You should always be the leader in every scenario as a believer, not the follower. That means you have enough money to meet your own requirements while also being a blessing to people around you. It indicates that you are the lender rather than the borrower.
The LORD'S BLESSING on you should be seen to others. They should see to it that you succeed in every situation, regardless of your occupation or the state of the economy. It's a testament to God's goodness!
So, how about you? Do you feel like you have financial mastery and control over your money? Or do you seem to be ruled by bills, debt, and work-related issues?
Begin to think of yourself as the master of your finances. Instead of succumbing to a victim mindset when faced with an unexpected financial crisis, assume the position of leadership. You'll reply with the proper actions if you start with the right thinking.
The correct acts are to believe in triumph, express victory, then reach out and take what is rightfully yours. They entail opposing the devil, stomping on him, and refusing to accept anything less than God's best.
Dominion Means Excelling to the Highest Place Possible
“And the LORD will make you the leader rather than the follower, and you will only go up and not down.” 28:13 (Deuteronomy) (ESV)
To succeed financially, physically, and relationally is to excel in the spirit of the Word. THE BLESSING has resulted in this.
Physically, this involves refusing to accept aches and pains, allergies, sickness, disease, or age-related limitations. You reach the pinnacle of achievement, which is a long life in a strong, healthy body.
In terms of relationships, it means you won't put up with domestic trouble, a shattered marriage, an unsatisfied yearning for family, or rebellious children. You achieve the highest level of achievement, which is a family that most people can only dream of. Dominion appears to be distinct from the rest of the globe. As a result, our families should look different.
In terms of money, it implies refusing to accept a lack of opportunity, low salary, being stuck in the same job year after year, taking out loans, or living paycheck to paycheck. You achieve the ultimate level of success by consistently increasing your pay, savings, investments, and charitable giving.
The very first sound heard by a human ear was, “May you be blessed!” That is a requirement. It's time to make it happen.
Dominion Means Expecting to Be Blessed In Famine
“Because the LORD rewarded him, Isaac planted crops in that country and reaped a hundredfold the following year.” Genesis 26:12 (NASB) (NIV)
Maybe you're good at anticipating dominion and blessing…until something like COVID-19 or a downturn occurs. Then you're terrified of losing your job or having to watch the stock market plummet with the rest of the world.
The story of Joseph thriving in prison and during a famine is more than just a lovely story to keep us entertained. No! It's a summons to live in dominion, and it's an example of how we should expect to live ourselves.
Watch Gloria Copeland and Pastor George Pearsons teach you how to fend for yourself during a famine.
Dominion entails expecting to be favored in times of scarcity. It means that while layoffs are all around you, you're already anticipating an increase. You feel calm when the financial market fluctuates, and you trust the anointing to guide and protect you.
Dominion implies that you are not subject to the times, but that you are subject to the times. And you're aware of it!
Dominion Means Expecting to Be Healed
“Look, I've given you complete control over the enemy's power, and you may walk amid snakes and scorpions and crush them.” Nothing can harm you.” 10:19 Luke (NLT)
You've got the upper hand over the demon. Sickness and disease are the work of the devil. As a result, because you have dominion, you should EXPECT to live in divine health for the rest of your life!
Take control of your symptoms and doctor's bad evaluations. Don't allow yourself feel like a victim for a second. You are in charge. In the name of Jesus, take it. Speak it with the power of Jesus' blood. The blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony have redeemed you.
Every ailment and disease is there beneath your feet. Expect to receive healing and then to live in divine healing for the rest of your life.
Dominion Means Destroying Every Yoke
“…thou must break his yoke from off thy neck when thou hast the reign.”
Enemies, melancholy, the weight of sin, and the devil's oppressive attempts All of these yokes must be dismantled. The devil is attempting to stifle your advancement, progress, and expansion. He wants to put an end to what God has already started in your life.
Dominion entails breaking every yoke with the yoke-breaking anointing you have at your disposal.
It's time to toughen up and break free from your shackles. In Jesus' Name, command failure, poverty, addiction, and any other yoke to leave you RIGHT NOW. You have the upper hand.
Now that you understand what dominion truly entails, it's time to put it into practice and display it to others so they can see it for themselves and become citizens of God's kingdom. Remove every yoke from your neck, free yourself from every burden, and take your place in THE BLESSING. Live a life of majesty!
How do we exercise dominion?
When my printer finally completed the computer command I had planned for it to perform, I was overjoyed. I hadn't been able to get it to reliably produce envelopes.
I had finally turned to God, something I should have done from the start. As a long-time Christian Science student, I understood that God is Mind, divine intelligence, Principle, to whom nothing is concealed or distant. I saw an unclear direction in the handbook almost immediately after I began praying for God's help, and I finally realized what the computer was responding to and what I needed to do to change its action.
God grants everyone of usas man, the image of His beingdominion over all the globe, according to the Bible. That dominion is always present, even if we only notice impediments from time to time. Those obstacles, on the other hand, are suggestions of the mortal mind, not facts of our being. Understanding this paves the door for us to overcome them and exercise our God-given authority.
“Entirely separate from the belief and dream of material living is the Life divine, revealing spiritual understanding and the consciousness of man's dominion over the whole earth,” writes Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, in her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 14). Accepting the fact of this “Divine Life,” leads to the blissful liberation of “dominion over the entire globe,” which includes computers, illness, poverty, and homelessnessall physically based rules and ideas.
Most of us learn simple skills fast, such as tying shoelaces or riding bicycles, and therefore gain control over loose footwear or rolling wheels. However, we occasionally hesitate to exercise our God-given control over tasks we perceive to be more difficult, either due to a lack of interest or a fear of failing to learn a new talent. We may demonstrate ongoing dominion by doing each task, no matter how basic or complex it is.
God created man and then gave him authority, according to the Bible. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion,” says Genesis. (1:26). That doesn't imply God handed man authority over God, but it does mean that, as God's image and likeness, we reflect His authority in all of our earthly experiences.
What does the Bible says about dominion?
“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the world and subdue it; and have dominion over the sea creatures and the birds of the air, and over all living things that move upon the ground,” God commanded to them.
Who is the single spiritual dominion?
Umar Ibn Al-Khattab was the Muslim Ummah's second Caliph and the first to be dubbed the Commander of the Faithful. After Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) death, his closest companion Abu Bakr succeeded him as leader of the Muslims for around two years. When Abu Bakr realized he was about to die, he gathered his closest friends and advisers around him and told them their devotion to him was gone. Abu Bakr hoped that his successor would be chosen from among these guys. After lengthy deliberation, Abu Bakr's associates returned to him and begged him to make the decision for them since they had complete faith in his judgment. Umar was chosen by Abu Bakr.
Some of Abu Bakr's men expressed fear that Umar, who was renowned for being a stern and severe guy, would be too harsh on the people. Abu Bakr reacted by declaring that he thought Umar was the best of the group. Despite the early objections of certain Madinah men, Umar was chosen as the Muslims' second Caliph. He began his reign by speaking to the public and instantly stating his goals for himself. Umar was well aware that his reputation for toughness had caused some concern, so he addressed it.
“Oh people, understand that I have been appointed to govern your affairs, therefore accept that my roughness has been weakened, but I will continue to be rough and harsh on oppressors and transgressors, and I will dig their cheeks into the soil,” he continued. Know that I would defend the pious people with my own cheek in the ground.”
Umar went on to tell the people that he would only take what God ordained from what their land produced and from the spoils of war, and that he would only spend the money in a way that pleased God. Umar was well aware of the need of financial justice and that he would be held responsible for every cent and dirham belonging to the Muslim Ummah. Umar also told the people that he would raise their pay, provide more food, and protect their borders.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his followers had worked tirelessly to construct a fledgling Muslim nation unlike any other. The Muslim treasury provided benefits to every member of the Ummah; it was not required to be a government employee; the riches of the ever-expanding nation was shared evenly. Umar did not initiate this; he was simply following in the footsteps of his forefathers, but he promised to raise the payments.
Umar also vowed that he would not lead the Muslim forces “into ruin,” meaning that he would not send them out until the hazards were assessed and deemed acceptable. He vowed not to keep the troops away from their homes for long periods of time and reassured the men that if they did not return, he, the Caliph, would be the father of their children and the caregiver of their wives while they were abroad fighting for the Muslim Ummah. The responsibility of the leader, according to Umar, is to safeguard the people.
When we witness presidents and prime ministers surrounded by security and willing to trample anyone to protect themselves and their authority, this concept looks strange. Despite being the ruler of an empire, Umar Ibn Al-Khattab never felt the need for a bodyguard. Even at night, he roamed the streets of Madinah like any other ordinary resident. In truth, he wandered the streets at night, keeping an eye on individuals under his protection and anonymously delivering alms.
The Year of Ashes was the name given to one of Umar's reign years. The Muslim Ummah was put to the test this year. It was a time of drought and famine, and the wind was so scorching that it felt like hot ashes on the skin. Meat, butter, and milk became scarce, and the peasants subsisted on dry bread soaked in oil on rare occasions. Umar swore he would not eat or drink anything that was not readily available to the general public. Even when goods were once again accessible in the markets, Umar refused to pay exorbitant prices for them. “How can I be worried for and understand my own subjects if I am not going through the same challenges that they are?” he was overheard saying.
Umar thought himself a common Muslim, yet history shows that he was far from ordinary. Umar was physically and spiritually powerful, as well as generous, noble, and humble. Umar walked in the footsteps of his beloved Prophet Muhammad (may God's kindness and blessings be upon him), adhering to his traditions and following his example. Umar's entire existence was consumed by the desire to please God; he feared God's wrath yet yearned for Paradise. Umar could tell the difference between truth and lies; he felt anguish when the Ummah or any of its members was in distress, and joy when those under his care were pleased and happy worshiping their Lord. Umar was one of four Caliphs who were correctly advised. He is a role model for strength, justice, love, and kindness even today.
What has dominion over every living thing?
God bestowed blessings on them, saying: “Fill the earth and conquer it by being prolific and multiplying. Have dominion over the sea's fish, the sky's birds, and all living things that move on the planet.” God examined all he had created and found it to be very good.
Why is God the giver of life?
Suffering, misery, death, and evil are not the result of God's creation or action. It came about as a result of Satan and the evil ones, as well as our own decisions in life. The culture of death that surrounds us today is entirely man-made.
God, the Lord and Giver of Life, generates, operates, and directs the Spirit's life in us through his Spirit. This is due to the fact that he made us in his image and likeness. There is no darkness or death in God since everything is light and life.
Our physical and spiritual selves have been rooted in God from the beginning of time. It is critical to be grateful for the gift of life and to use it wisely.
What is the difference between dominion and power?
The distinction between dominion and power as nouns is that dominion refers to power or the use of power; sovereignty over something; supremacy, whereas power refers to (countable) capability or influence.
What are Dominion rights?
In terms of ownership rights, you have complete control. The word appears to imply both title and possession, as well as complete authority over disposition. The power of disposal and the right to claim a piece of property give rise to title. Sovereignty, such as dominion over the oceans or a land.
In CIVIL LAW, dominion refers to the kind of title that vests in the purchaser when he or she acquires both ownership and possession of the article, and the latter refers to the nature of the title when he or she legitimately acquires ownership of the property but no delivery.
