THE ORIGINAL MANDATE

October 22:2020

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
Genesis 1:26 (NKJV)

When God made us in His image according to His likeness, He, in essence, gave us the privilege of looking like Him and the ability to function, operate and behave like Him. He also transferred His nature of dominion to us and then gave us a simple and clear mandate - to dominate all spiritual and natural forces as well as activities within and around the earth territory!

The word “dominion” also means “control”. It was this 'control' that man lost in the Garden of Eden, but Jesus restored it back to us through His redemptive work at Calvary’s hill. Brethren, the whole bible is about control; control assigned, control lost and control regained.

Our present spiritual conflict and fight of faith are all about control. God wants us in control on earth. He knows that if we don't take control, Satan will step in and usurp our authority and leadership. We must prevent this situation by actively exercising control over all that concerns our lives today.

Child of God, I proclaim that you have entered your season of dominion! I pronounce judgment on any evil force that attempts to stop you from dominating your way to the top this year, in Jesus Name!

Additional Scripture Reference(s): Matthew 28:18-19 Ephesians 4:26-27

Prayer & Confession of Faith

I am made in the image and likeness of God therefore I have dominion. I arise today to exercise control over every circumstance and contrary force in my life. In Jesus name, Amen!

Foreword

FRESH DEW

Dearly beloved,

“I will be to Israel like a refreshing dew from heaven. Israel will blossom like the lily; it will send roots deep into the soil like the cedars in Lebanon.” – Hosea 14:5 (NLT)
In the natural, Dew refreshes, reinvigorates and brings life; Dew is a life-giving source of water created by God and appears fresh every morning to give life to trees and flowers. God created Dew as the means of daily refreshment, renewal and sustenance for His creation.

Early morning dew drops on plants is a picture of the refreshment, reinvigoration and sustenance that God has prepared for us daily. The dew of heaven is the freshness of His presence; it brings increase, supernatural supply, health, joy, prosperity, peace and every good thing. The supply never runs dry; fresh and new every morning. Hallelujah!

Isaac blessed his son Jacob with these words: “Therefore may God give you of the dew of heaven, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.” – Genesis 27:8 (NKJV)

It is also my prayer for you this month, as you read this devotional. I pray that the Lord will give you of the dew of heaven, of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine. Amen!
Beloved, it is my desire that the articles in this devotional will open your eyes to the blessings God has prepared for you, and that you will receive and enjoy His refreshing goodness each day of this month.

Be blessed as you read.
