This is the diary of the program Awakening of the Saints THURSDAY MORNING DELIVERANCE SERVICE THE MOVE TOWARDS DOMINION Today's Focus: STEP ONE — KNOW Anchor Scriptures: Genesis 1:26–28; Hosea 4:6; John 17:3; Proverbs 3:5–6; Psalm 119:105; Ephesians 2:10; Matthew 25:14–30. 1. OPENING CHARGE There is a difference between existing and living deliberately. There is a difference between having a destiny and understanding that destiny. There is a difference between having potential and knowing how to steward that potential. And there is a difference between praying for dominion and being prepared to exercise dominion. God did not create man merely to survive on the earth. He created man to represent Him, steward His creation, cultivate what He had given him, and exercise delegated authority. Genesis 1:26–28 says: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it...” — Genesis 1:26–28 KJV � Bible Gateway Notice the progression: Image → Blessing → Fruitfulness → Multiplication → Subduing → Dominion. That is powerful. But there is something we must establish today: You cannot properly exercise authority over what you don't understand. That is why the move towards dominion begins with KNOW. WHAT IS DOMINION? Biblically, dominion means exercising God-given authority and responsibility over what God has entrusted to you, under God's own authority and according to His purposes. Dominion is not dictatorship. Dominion is not controlling people. Dominion is not becoming independent of God. Dominion is not shouting louder than everybody else. Dominion is not merely making declarations. Dominion is delegated authority exercised under divine government. Genesis 1 does not give man permission to become God. God remains the Creator. Man remains the creature. But God gives man responsibility within creation. That distinction is critical. Therefore: Dominion is not “I am my own god.” It is: “God is Lord over me, therefore I can faithfully govern what He has placed under my responsibility.” THE MOVE TOWARDS DOMINION There are five movements we will be dealing with: 1. KNOW Know God. Know His Word. Know your assignment. Know what He has entrusted to you. 2. SUBMIT Bring your will, ambitions and plans under God's authority. 3. GOVERN Learn to govern yourself—your mind, emotions, time, habits, resources and conduct. 4. BUILD Develop the capacity, competence and discipline necessary to fulfil your assignment. 5. INFLUENCE Use what God has developed in you to bring godly value, order and transformation to your environment. But today, we stop at STEP ONE: KNOW. STEP ONE: KNOW There are four things you must know if you are moving towards dominion: Know God Know His Word Know Your Assignment Know What He Has Entrusted to You I. KNOW GOD This is where dominion begins. Not with money. Not with connections. Not with education. Not with position. With God. Jesus said: “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” — John 17:3 KJV The Christian life is not fundamentally about knowing about God. It is about knowing God. There are people who know church but don't know God. They know Christian vocabulary. They know worship songs. They know how to shout during prayer. They know how to quote Scriptures. But they have not developed a genuine relationship with the God they talk about. And that creates a dangerous problem. You cannot properly represent a God you don't know. Moses understood this. After Israel had committed the sin of the golden calf, Moses made an extraordinary request. He didn't merely ask God for another blessing. He said: “Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight...” — Exodus 33:13 KJV Moses wanted God Himself. That is maturity. There is a level where you stop saying: “God, give me things.” And start saying: “God, let me know You.” Because when you know God, you begin to understand: His character, His ways, His standards, His voice, His priorities, His will. Biblical example: Enoch Enoch is an interesting example because Scripture doesn't give us a long record of his achievements. Genesis 5:24 simply says: “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” His greatest testimony was not what he built. It was how he walked with God. That teaches us something: Your first evidence of dominion is not what you control; it is who governs your life. II. KNOW HIS WORD You cannot separate knowing God from knowing His Word. Why? Because God's Word reveals His nature, His will, His standards, His promises and His instructions. Psalm 119:105 says: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Notice: Lamp → feet. Light → path. The Word doesn't merely tell you where you want to go. It helps you know where you should go. Hosea 4:6 gives the warning: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...” Ignorance has consequences. Some people are praying against problems that wisdom would have prevented. Some are rebuking what they should be correcting. Some are asking God for direction while refusing to study His Word. Some want prophetic words but don't want biblical instruction. That is dangerous. God's Word must become your operating system. If the Word says forgive, you forgive. If the Word says be diligent, you become diligent. If the Word says flee temptation, you don't negotiate with temptation. If the Word says seek wisdom, you seek wisdom. If the Word says be faithful in little, you stop despising small beginnings. You cannot claim dominion while deliberately ignoring the King's instructions. III. KNOW YOUR ASSIGNMENT This is where many believers become confused. You need to know: “What exactly am I on earth to contribute?” Your assignment is not necessarily a pulpit. Not everyone is called to preach. Not everyone is called to be a pastor. Not everyone is called to sing. Not everyone is called to become famous. God gives different people different responsibilities. Ephesians 2:10 says: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” There are good works prepared for us. Your responsibility is to discover and faithfully walk in what God has given you. Consider Bezalel. He is not one of the most popular biblical characters. But Exodus 31:1–5 tells us that God specifically called Bezalel and gave him wisdom, understanding and skill for craftsmanship. In other words: His assignment involved craftsmanship. He wasn't Moses. He wasn't Aaron. He wasn't Joshua. But what God put inside him mattered to God's purpose. That means your assignment doesn't have to look like somebody else's assignment to be valuable. ANOTHER POWERFUL EXAMPLE: SHIPHRAH AND PUAH These women are easily overlooked. But Exodus 1:15–21 records how the Hebrew midwives, Shiprah and Puah, feared God and refused to participate in Pharaoh's wicked command. Their obedience became part of God's preservation of Israel. Think about it. They were not standing before Pharaoh with a microphone. They were not leading a massive congregation. They were doing their work. But their faithfulness in their sphere of responsibility mattered to God's larger purpose. This is dominion. Sometimes dominion looks spectacular. Sometimes dominion looks like: Doing your job with integrity. Raising children faithfully. Building an honest business. Serving people excellently. Creating useful things. Studying diligently. Refusing corruption when everyone around you accepts it. Using your skill to solve problems. IV. KNOW WHAT GOD HAS ENTRUSTED TO YOU This is where the teaching becomes extremely practical. Jesus' parable of the talents in Matthew 25 is fundamentally about stewardship. The master entrusted different amounts to different servants. The servants were not given identical responsibilities. But each servant was accountable for what he received. The master eventually said to the faithful servant: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things...” — Matthew 25:21 KJV There is a principle here: Faithfulness with what is in your hand prepares you for what is beyond your hand. Don't spend your entire life crying about what you don't have while neglecting what you do have. You may not have: the biggest church, the biggest business, the best camera, the largest audience, the biggest salary, the most connections. But what is already in your hands? Your time. Your brain. Your education. Your phone. Your creativity. Your voice. Your hands. Your relationships. Your opportunity. Your skill. Your testimony. Your current job. Your small business. Your ministry responsibility. What are you doing with it? A REAL-LIFE CASE Imagine a young believer who says: “God has given me a great destiny.” But he cannot keep time. He refuses to learn. He spends everything he receives. He cannot complete assignments. He is constantly distracted. He refuses correction. He blames everybody else. He has a prophetic word about greatness but no discipline. The problem isn't necessarily that he lacks destiny. He lacks stewardship. And that is why knowing what God has entrusted to you is so important. You cannot pray yourself out of every responsibility. Sometimes the answer to your prayer is: “Start managing what I already gave you.” ANOTHER REAL-LIFE CASE Consider someone who discovers that they have exceptional ability in technology, design, media, teaching or business. They begin by serving in a small capacity. Perhaps they are only responsible for the church's media on a small platform. Instead of despising the opportunity, they learn: photography, videography, audio, editing, communication, leadership, organization. Years later, the skill has become a professional capacity. What changed? The gift didn't suddenly appear. The person discovered what was already in their hand and developed it. That is stewardship. FIVE QUESTIONS FOR EVERY BELIEVER THIS MONTH If you truly want to move towards dominion, sit down before God and answer these: 1. WHO IS GOD TO ME? Not merely: “What can God give me?” But: “Do I know Him?” 2. WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY? What principles govern my: relationships? money? work? character? sexuality? speech? leadership? decisions? 3. WHY AM I HERE? What burden has God placed in my heart? What abilities has He given me? What problems am I equipped to solve? Where am I unusually fruitful? What opportunities keep appearing? What responsibilities has God placed before me? 4. WHAT HAS GOD ALREADY PUT IN MY HAND? Stop looking only at what you don't have. Ask: “What has God already entrusted to me?” 5. WHAT AM I DOING WITH IT? Knowledge must produce action. Otherwise it remains information. THE GREAT LESSON Listen carefully: You cannot take dominion over what you refuse to understand. You cannot properly lead a family you don't understand. You cannot properly lead a ministry you don't understand. You cannot properly manage money you don't understand. You cannot properly develop a gift you haven't identified. You cannot properly walk in an assignment you haven't discovered. And you cannot properly represent God if you don't know Him. Therefore: KNOW BEFORE YOU GOVERN. Before God gives you greater territory, learn to understand the territory already around you. Before you ask for greater influence, understand the influence already in your hands. Before you ask for a bigger platform, become faithful on the platform you already have. Before you ask God to enlarge your coast, ask Him to enlarge your understanding. PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS Have the congregation declare these with faith: 1. “By the grace of God, my eyes are opened! I receive understanding concerning God, His Word, His will, my assignment and everything He has entrusted into my hands!” 2. “Every veil of spiritual ignorance and confusion over my life is removed! I will not walk blindly into my future; I receive divine light, wisdom and understanding!” 3. “I declare that I will not die with my gifts undeveloped or my assignment unfulfilled. What God has deposited in me shall produce fruit!” 4. “I receive grace to recognize what God has placed in my hands. I will not despise my little beginning; I will faithfully steward what I have until God enlarges my capacity!” 5. “From this day forward, I move from ignorance to knowledge, from confusion to clarity, from passivity to responsibility, and from limitation towards dominion, in Jesus' name!” 7 POWERFUL DELIVERANCE PRAYER POINTS 1. THANKSGIVING Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for the gift of life, salvation, Your Word and Your purpose for my existence. Thank You because my life is not an accident and my future is not outside Your knowledge. Thank You for every gift, opportunity, relationship and responsibility You have entrusted to me. Receive all the glory, in Jesus' name. Scripture: Psalm 100:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:18. 2. DELIVERANCE FROM SPIRITUAL IGNORANCE Father, in the name of Jesus, deliver me from every form of spiritual ignorance that has kept me from understanding You, Your Word, Your will and Your ways. Let every veil covering my understanding be removed. Give me a teachable heart and a hunger for Your truth, in Jesus' name. Scripture: Hosea 4:6; Ephesians 1:17–18. 3. DELIVERANCE FROM CONFUSION CONCERNING DESTINY Every power of confusion, uncertainty and directionlessness fighting my ability to understand God's purpose for my life, be broken in the name of Jesus! Father, illuminate my path and give me wisdom to recognize the assignment You have given me. I refuse to wander through life without divine direction! Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6; Psalm 119:105. 4. GRACE TO RECOGNIZE WHAT GOD HAS ENTRUSTED TO ME Father, open my eyes to recognize every gift, ability, opportunity, relationship, resource and responsibility You have placed in my hands. Deliver me from the blindness that makes me despise what I already possess while constantly crying for what I do not have. Give me grace to become a faithful steward! Scripture: Matthew 25:21; 1 Peter 4:10. 5. DELIVERANCE FROM WASTED POTENTIAL Every pattern of laziness, procrastination, distraction, fear and irresponsibility that has caused me to bury what God has placed inside me, I reject it in the name of Jesus! Receive grace to develop my gifts, discipline my life and faithfully execute my God-given responsibilities! Scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7; Proverbs 12:24. 6. PRAYER FOR DIVINE UNDERSTANDING Father, let the eyes of my understanding be enlightened! Give me wisdom beyond my age, wisdom beyond my experience and understanding beyond my natural capacity. Let me know what to pursue, what to reject, what to develop, what to leave and what to prioritize. I receive divine wisdom for the journey ahead, in Jesus' name! Scripture: Ephesians 1:17–18; James 1:5. 7. PRAYER FOR THE GRACE TO ENTER DOMINION Father, as I begin this journey towards dominion, establish me in the knowledge of You, Your Word, my assignment and what You have entrusted to me. Deliver me from every force that has kept me passive, blind, confused and unproductive. Let my understanding increase. Let my gifts become productive. Let my life become fruitful. And let everything You have placed in my hands serve Your purpose and bring glory to Your name, in Jesus' mighty name! Amen! CLOSING CHARGE Tell the people: “This month, don't just shout for dominion. Prepare for dominion.” Because dominion without knowledge becomes abuse. Authority without wisdom becomes destruction. Gift without understanding becomes frustration. Opportunity without stewardship becomes waste. And prayer without corresponding obedience produces very little. So today, the journey begins with one word: KNOW. Know God. Know His Word. Know your assignment. Know what He has entrusted to you. Because what you don't know, you may misuse; what you don't recognize, you may neglect; and what you don't understand, you may never properly govern. **The move towards dominion begins with KNOW.** |
