Genesis 1:26-28 KJV — 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.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
We understand that God created man in His image and after His likeness to share in His nature. You were created to have dominion and blessed to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. We were designed, created, and blessed to do these things. This is destiny! That is what it must be! This is what we must aspire for.
The agenda is to have dominion: be fruitful, multiplying, replenishing, and subduing the earth. This is your destiny. You cannot fail! You cannot be oppressed! You cannot be out of control! And nothing should be allowed to be out of control nor stagnant around you! Any growth that is out of control is subdued now!
If you really want to fulfill destiny then remember to watch and pray as if it all depends on prayer; seek timely and godly counsel; leverage on other people‘s power (build meaningful relationships); and grind with diligence and grit.
Four things that can really help you to stay in charge in life as you attempt to fulfill destiny are prayer, application of wisdom, meaningful network and relationships, and diligence at work.
Don’t feel too tired to pray; prayer is important
In the place of prayer, you receive impartations, ministrations, revelations, and guidance from the Holy Spirit.
No matter what it is important to note, no man you encounter is just an ordinary man. There is a spirit at work in every man who gives them power and influence to serve their purpose.
For instance the spirit of disobedience works in the children of disobedience. When you meet a sinner or an unbeliever remember there is a spirit working in him or her that empowers them to disobey God. This is the spirit of the power of the air. That is why unbelieving guys seem to be so successful with causing young women to sin.
Ephesians 2:1-3 KJV — And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; [2] wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
[3] among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Remember, it is possible to feel too tired to watch and pray. That is the apostle Paul in Ephesians 6:18 exhort us to watch and pray with perseverance! In Luke 18, our Lord Jesus exhort us to pray with fainting. Prayer is so important that you should never feel tired to pray.
Seek and strive to apply timely godly counsel and wisdom
Wisdom is profitable to direct. Wisdom lowers the threshold of strength needed for impact. Wisdom is the principal thing. In all your getting, get wisdom.
Build meaning relationships and networks
Two are better than one, they have a better reward for their labour. When you build the right network and relationships, it increases your profit.
Be diligent at work
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule, even the thoughts of the diligent tends to plenty.
Stay blessed and stay strong
