The Two Dominion

Dominion is a word that describes our right or power to subdue our environment and our enemies. From the beginning, God gave man dominion on earth over the birds, the fishes and over every creeping thing upon the earth.  But man had since lost his dominion to the devil through sin. Through sin man was subdued by Satan. Satan rules the world through sin. 

The most important thing in life is our dominion. Jesus came to the earth in order to restore the dominion of  man. Men can't resist sin or temptation because of their weak mind (not sound mind). Weak and corrupt mind is a symbol of a lost dominion and power. 

If you read the book of  Genesis 6:1-8, you'll find out how the whole earth became wicked and corrupt, and no one does good in the sight of God. Satan subdued man and made man to believe in sin. Satan made man to accept the calling and culture of sin. 

What is Dominion? 

 Dominion according to John 1 verse 12 is defined as our right to become sons of  God. So, dominion is our sonship not friendship with God. 

John 1 :12,

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

The book of  John chapter 1 from verse 1 describes the dominion of  the word of God. It makes us to know that God's word came in order to make us sons and daughters of  God. 

God Gave Two Dominions:

1. The Beginning Son.

2. The Begotten Son. 

The Beginning Son is Adam who was created to be son of God (Luke 3:38).

The Begotten Son is Christ who is called from heaven to be son. Jesus is the firstfruit of the new creation. 

Matthew 17:5-6,

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.

Also, Matthew 3:17,

And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Satan is very much concerned in stealing our sonship from us. That's why he said to Jesus in Matthew chapter 4, that if you are the son of God.... 

Satan had successfully stolen the first dominion, and now seeking to take away sonship from Christ and his followers. As far as Satan is concerned, he sees himself as the son of  God. 

Job 1:7-8  says,

 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

In living our dominion, we need to know the weakness of Satan. Satan fears rebuke. 

Jude verse 9.
