EXERCISE FULL DOMINION
What a tremendous fact that man was bestowed with so much power as God Almighty to exercise dominion on earth. Man was never made less in the realm with. Nothing was withdrew from God in creating and forming man kind. He created man in His image and likeness. The creation of the first man Adam was made obvious in the book of Genesis 1:26,
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.”
You are made to act like God Almighty
Just as He is so He has made man. He went further to form the physical body that will house man and enable him to have full access on earth. God took all the time in creating and fashioning man. He was so mindful about the forming of man because man will be like Him, look like Him, and exercise full authority on earth God exercised in heaven. Forming man actually cost God every thing. Creation process made it obvious that by faith God called forth things that were not as though they were. In Hebrew 11:3,
“Through faith we understand that the world’s were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Every thing in existence was called form, but the case of man was not fully in that perspective. Man was created and as well was form. After God fashioned the physical body to His taste, then it pleases God to breath into man kind, and that brought about living. Man became a living being not at his own will, but at the will of God.
God duplicated Himself in you
It is to say that God duplicated Himself in the physical at the moment the physical man was formed, God breath into the him and man became a living creature. Duplicating Himself into man has made man a god in charge of everything in the physical. While God remained in charge of the heavens, man was made in charge of everything on earth. I can put it this way, while God is in control of the spiritual, man was designed and fashioned to take control of the physical. While God operate fully from the spiritual, man was made to operate fully on the physical. Not to dwell in the flesh but to be aware that he was made the steward of every others creatures, both living and non living creatures.
There was a perfect of what we call division of labour. In other words, there was an obvious division in responsibility. Man was given full responsibility to govern the earth and all that is there in. If God were to be on earth, He would have had the ultimate place on earth. But that would have been injustice or whatever in the place of Him. Since man was created in the image and likeness of God, God surely believed man has what it takes to take adequate control of the activities of life. That is why He place man in charged.
Exercising dominion is our birthright
Man was not just created to occupy space, man was created to exercise dominion.
“…that they may have dominion…” (Genesis 1:26B)
God means what He says and says what He means. God did not give man a half way dominion. He gave man full dominion, not alone on himself, not alone on living creature but also to none living creature. Nothing was withdrew by God from the dominion that was bestowed upon man kind. Every thing that made God what and who He is was deposited in man.
Conclusion
What a glorious revelation for man has what gained and access him a place beside the right God. That was an effortless privileged. It was never gained by human effort, it was gained by birth.
