INTRODUCTION:
The Bible says in Genesis 1:26: “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
Here we see God’s primary purpose for man – dominion.
God created man not by accident, but with a specific purpose: to rule, possess, and represent God’s authority on earth.
- GOD GAVE MAN DOMINION
After creating the heavens and the earth, God created man to be His steward on earth.
He gave him power, authority, and blessing. God said, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.”
Adam was the ruler of this world; everything was subject to him.
God crowned him with glory and honor, as Psalm 8:4-6 says:
“You have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor; You made him ruler over the works of Your hands.”
Man was created a little lower than God, but greater than all other creatures.
This means you are God’s representative on earth, created in His image and likeness.
- GOD GAVE MAN OWNERSHIP
Psalm 115:16 says, “The heavens are the Lord’s heavens, but the earth He has given to mankind.”
This is not a suggestion it is a divine law.
God decided to give man authority over the earth. Therefore, nothing can operate on earth without human permission.
Even the devil cannot do anything unless he operates through man.
That’s why Jesus had to come as a man so that through a legal way, He could restore the lost authority.
- HOW THE DEVIL TOOK AUTHORITY AND HOW JESUS RESTORED IT
The devil deceived Adam, and through that sin, Adam lost his authority.
The devil then gained influence over the world. That’s why he told Jesus, “I will give You all the kingdoms of the world if You bow down to me.”
But Jesus refused! Instead, He came to take back that authority on behalf of mankind.
Jesus became sin so that we might become righteous.
He took the curse so that we might be blessed.
He went down to hell, stripped the devil of all authority, and gave it back to us humankind so we could again have dominion and ownership of the earth.
Today, your authority has been restored. You are free!
You have been crowned with glory and honor.
Know who you are! You are a ruler on earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
- GOD WORKS THROUGH HUMAN BEINGS ON EARTH
Every move of God on earth requires a human vessel.
God does nothing on earth without using a person.
When you cry out for revival, God raises a person as His instrument.
In our nation, God has raised Apostle and Prophet Josephat Elias Mwingira as a vessel of revival and a carrier of God’s movement.
When a nation cries out for change, God answers by raising a man.
You can be that vessel!
Desire to be the person God will use.
Desire to carry the revival of this generation.
PROPHECY:
Tanzania will enter into a national revival, and this revival will spread throughout Africa.
It is time for a mighty move of God in Tanzania.
God is moving and searching for vessels that will carry the fire of His glory.
Will you be one of them?
Amen!
