Understanding Dominion

When God Almighty created the earth, the sea, and all the living creatures, man was the last to be created. And when God created man, he said to him to have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowls of the air, and over all the living things that move upon the earth. In other words, God handed over the earth to the man to be in charge. The man, Adam, understood the authority, and that is why he exercised the authority by naming all the animals. Lion, monkey, elephant, etc. were named by Adam, and the names still stand up till now.

The man, Adam, was fully in control of the earth, until he disobeyed God's order. His disobedience to God's order made him lose his dominion to the devil. The devil kept man under bondage, and that is why God sent his son, Jesus, to rescue man from the bondage of Satan and restore dominion to man.

Christ Jesus, through his death and resurrection, has restored dominion to those who believe in him. So those who believe and accept the grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord have dominion and authority restored to them. Everyone in Christ Jesus has dominion over the devil and cohorts. The Lord Jesus said to those to believe in him and that in his name, they shall cast out devils.

So in this book, you will understand how authority was given man, Adam, and how Adam lost the authority to the devil and how Christ has restored the authority to those that believe in him and how to exercise the authority through the name of Jesus.

Do not forget that God has given Jesus a name that is above every other name. That at the mention of the name of Jesus, every knee should bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord.
