When you shall have dominion

“And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, your dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by your sword shall you live and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass WHEN YOU SHALL HAVE THE DOMINION, that you shall break his yoke off your neck.” Genesis 27:39-40

Until a man gets dominion, servitude continues. It takes dominion to break the yoke of oppressors and the tormentors from one’s life. It takes dominion to take back what the enemy has stolen. It takes dominion to possess the gates of one’s enemies. It takes dominion to operate in the fullness of God’s potential in you. Dominion is the freedom and the authority to act and perform in the level God designed for you per time without limitation or restriction. To have dominion is to have mastery of life.

In Joshua 10:24, Joshua asked the Captains of the men of war to put their feet upon the necks of the five Kings who were enemies of the people of Israel . To have dominion is to have your enemies and your problems under your feet. Problems are normal in the life of every living being but a man who has dominion is in control despite the challenges of life. Are you being oppressed in your dream and sleep? Are the household enemies having their ways in your life? Are you finding it difficult to get results with your certificates and your skills? Do you always experience failure at the edge of success? Are you finding it difficult to move to the next level? What you need is dominion. I decree that the revelation in this message will liberate you in Jesus name.

Constituent of Dominion

The constituent of dominion is Power, Love and Sound Mind. To possess the Spirit of dominion is to possess the Spirit of Power, of Love and of Sound Mind.
“For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind.” 2Tim 1:7.

1. Power: It takes power to dominate. There are different powers in the world but when a man carries the Power of God, he will dominate among men. Power changed hands in Israel the day David was anointed in the house of Jesse (1Samuel 16:13 ). Elisha arrested the multitudes of soldiers sent to arrest him by the king of Syria . He also decreed deliverance from a severe famine in Samaria . The king at that time called him his father. All these he did by the power of God. Jesus walked in the Power of God ion the face of the earth, he subdued demons, broke the yoke of the enemy, spoke to the wind and even walked upon water. Beloved, you need God’s power to walk in dominion. God’s word says “ But you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you…..” Act 1:8. Ask for the enduement of power from on high (Luke 24:49). Ask God for the mighty baptism in the Holy Spirit . It is God that empowers a man to get wealth and He is also responsible for putting men in the position of authority. (Deut 8:18, Ps. 75:6-7).

2. Love: To walk in dominion, you must love life, love God, love people and love your vision. To walk in love is to walk in passion. Passion leads to pursuit and pursuit makes you to possess. Every true love is based on God.

“He that loves not knows not God; for God is love” 1John 4:8

“many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it…” Songs of Solomon 8:7.

3. Sound Mind: One of the miracle seeds of God in Man is the ability to think and bring out productive results. Unless a man’s mind is sound he cannot walk in total dominion. Daniel walked in dominion in Babylon because of sound mind. Word upon your mind, develop it through reading the Bible and other books. Sound mind helps a man to make quality decisions. And a man is made by the decisions he makes.

Keys to Dominion
1. Wisdom

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7.

“For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to them that have it.” Proverbs 7:12.

“Wisdom is better that the weapons of war……” Eccle. 9:18 .

Give a man of wisdom a seed, he will produce many seeds. Wisdom is better than money because a man of wisdom will create money but a fool rich will squander it. It takes wisdom to dominate. Wisdom is thinking right, acting right and speaking right. It creates opportunities for those who have it. The Bible says wisdom is the most important thing. Joseph moved from being a slave to becoming a Prime Minister by wisdom. Even the Professors and Doctors could not withstand the wisdom of Jesus. Daniel dominates for about a century in a strange land by wisdom. Wisdom promotes, it empowers. Beloved, if you get wisdom, it’s a matter of time, you will get the throne. Wisdom makes you to pray when you are supposed to and to think at the right time. It was wisdom delivered by revelation that made Jacob to leave the house of Laban a rich man (Genesis 30). I don’t care to know what level you are presently or what forces are working against you but I care to tell you that if you get wisdom, your level will change. Ask God to give you wisdom and He will give you. Read books, watch informative programs, listen to messages and be informed. Wisdom is hidden in the printed pages and electronic media.

2. Revelation

“If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.” John 10:35

Revelation makes the ‘god’ in you to manifest. Part of the things that revelation does to a man is to bring information and when you are informed, you cannot be deformed. It takes revelation to operate in the extraordinary position on earth. Every man that walks in dominion have uncommon revelations in the issues of life. Revelation is like bringing honey out of the rock, it takes time, it takes separation and it also takes meditation. Revelation brings discovery and when you discover, you can always recover. Jacob went three days journey and he got the revelation of how to make cattle produce to ones specification. He got rich by that revelation. If there is an area you want to walk in dominion, take your bible, gather information written by men, take your pen and your note pad, separate yourself, pray and think, you will come out with revealed action steps that will enthrone you. Ask God for the spirit of revelation.


3. Favor

“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.” Ecc9:11.

No man can amount to anything in life without favor. No man can walk in dominion without favor. It is favor that makes room for a man. It is favor that identifies a man for dominion amongst many. Esther of the Bible was just a slave girl and an orphan in the land of Media and Persia but favor made her the queen of the kingdom. The people of Israel got their reparation from Egypt by favor (Exodus 12:36 ). To walk in favor, you can pray your way into it but humility is the key to consistent favor. Samuel told Saul the first king of Israel :

“And Samuel said, when you were little in your own sight, were you not made THE HEAD OF THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL and the LORD anointed you king over Israel?” 1 Samuel 15:17.

Your skill and your gifts when used consistently and persistently can also bring favor. Favor function with time.


Dominion is God’s will for your life. I pray that as you act on the instructions in this message, you shall walk in dominion. You are victorious in Jesus name.
