SHORT PROFILE OF THE SPEAKER

He is also the Assistant General Overseer (AGO) in Charge of East African Region of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

I want to thank God for this Year’s Program “IGNITE SUMMIT 2020”.

I want to appreciate those who always organise this Program Year in Year out.

And I want to thank God that you are not tired you are still refiring.

I Pray for you that God will keep Igniting the Good Things that you expect to be ignited in your life in the Name of Jesus – Amen!

This Year’s Theme is very important – The Dominion Mindset!

That will help us to be dominating in every Spheres and Realms of life.

I remembered there was a Year I was asked to speak on: “Enforcing Your Dominion”.

But this Year the Organizer have said that I should speak on: The Dominion Principles.

Within the few minutes I have I may have to just summarize what I have because that is very expansive if you are to be talking about “Dominion Principles” and in this Short Presentation of discuss, I will be looking at the following:

1. What is Dominion?
2. Living and Walking in Dominion.
3. The Pathway to Dominion.
4. Places and Platform of Dominion.
5. Principles of Dominion.

So, let us open the Scriptures and let us look at Genesis 1: 26-28.

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.
27. So God created Man in His Own, 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.

So, Dominion was given to Man as a Gift and God blessed man and asked him to have Dominion, to be exercising Dominion.

The Almighty God gave him that Power, Authority, the Command to be exercising Dominion.

Now, you and I were created to be exercising Dominion in every Spheres, in every Realms of life.

God wants you to be enforcing Dominion wherever you operate.

We all know that Man lost that Dominion – In the Garden of Eden Man lost the Dominion to the devil – The first Adam.

But thank God for Jesus who restored back to us the Dominion Mandate, restored back to us the Authority to be exercising Dominion.

1. So, what is Dominion?

The Hebrew word that is translated to Dominion is called “Radah”.

And it means to rule, to reign over, to be in Power, to be in Control, to be in command, to Prevail over every Spheres, every Territories or your environment.

Dominion means Ruling Power, Authority, Control, Ability to be in Charge.

Dominion is the Practice of someone hearing, thinking, evaluating, making decisions, speaking decrees and behaving like a King.

If you look at the Scriptures – Psalms 72: 8; the Bible says: He shall have dominion also from the sea to the sea and from the river to the ends of the Earth.

And Please understand this: If you refuse to have Dominion you will be forcefully dominated because there is no vacuum in life.

Just like if you refused to do exploits for God, you can be exploited by the devil.

The devil can exploit your family, exploit your finances, your friends, your fitness and future.

If you refuse to be doing exploit, refuse to be exercising Dominion, you will be forcefully dominated by the devil in every Spheres of life.

If you refuse to be obeying God, the devil will make sure that you are debased in life and that is why we must obey the command of God.

If you refuse to be Pressing Forward because God says Press Forward, you will be Oppressed.

If you are not saved, you are not safe.

This is very important.

If you are not in Christ, you are in for a crisis, hence the need for those in Christ to be exercising Dominion.

2. Living and Walking in Dominion.

God’s Plan for your life is to be Living and Walking in Dominion – Not living in Dominion sometimes but Living and Walking in Dominion all the time in every Spheres of life.

What kind of Dominion?

And when you talk about “Comprehensive and Complete Dominion; it means having “Full or Total Dominion”, “Total Rulership”, “Total Ruling Power in every Spheres of life as David the Great King exercised.

If you read 1 Samuel 17:45-51, you will see how he exercised “Complete Dominion”, “Comprehensive Dominion”.

So, God wants you to be exercising what we call “Continuous Dominion” all the time, “Conscious Dominion”, “Complete and Comprehensive Dominion”.

And then God wants you to be exercising what we call “Contagious Dominion” – The area(s) of your Influence and Dominion should be affecting others.

So, there is a need for you to be Living and Walking in Dominion!

And for you to be Walking in “Supernatural Dominion”:

1. There must be first of all a Conversion because if you are not Saved; you can’t be exercising the “Spiritual Dominion”.

This is the kind of Dominion that God wants you to be exercising, because when God is speaking about a society; to me the kind of Dominion that Jesus Christ restored is to restored back to those who accept Him as their Personal Lord and Saviour.

… So, you need Conversion.

2. Secondly, you need Connection.

Because if God can be against us, you need Compassion.

You need Connection, you need Control of the Holy Spirit.

You can listen to the audio here: The Dominion Principles: Pastor Peter Amenkhienan

In order for you to be able to exercise Dominion – You need Courage, you need Communication with God, you need Commitment to God, you need Confidence in God, you need Companionship of God for you to be exercising Dominion.

Now, three (3) things about “Walking in Dominion”:

If you read Joshua 1:1-8, to “Walk in Supernatural Dominion” and to be exercising Dominion, you must learn how to:

1. Visualised your Dominion.
2. Vitalised your Dominion.
3. Verbalized tour Dominion.

You can also look at Genesis 13:14 – So, you will see that in order for you to be exercising Dominion, there is need for you to Visualised your Dominion. Also, in Joshua 1:6-7, there is a need for you to “Enhance and Enable” your Dominion, to activate your Dominion and to trigger your Dominion.

To “Walk in Dominion “, you need to Visualised your Dominion, you need to Vitalised your Dominion and you need to Verbalised your Dominion.

What do I mean to Verbalized your Dominion?

You need to keep Saying it, keep Declaring it, keep Confessing it, keep Proclaiming it and it will come to Pass.

How do you experience Dominion through Verbalisation?

That is what the Scriptures tells us in Joshua 1:8.

And if you read the Scriptures, you will discovered that the Bible says: Let the Word of God never depart from your mouth, Let it not depart from your Mind, Let it not depart from your Manner of Life and Method of Living.

So, to experience Dominion through Verbalisation, the Word of God must not depart from your mouth, the Word of God must not depart from your Mind, the Word of God must never depart from your Manner of Living.

Now, let us us look at what we call the “Concept of Dominion”.

And looking at the “Concept of Dominion”, we will look at this Concept through three (3) Sub-Topics:

1. The Pathway or Process to Dominion.
2. The Places and Platform of Dominion.
3. The Principles of Dominion.
4. The Pathway or Process to Dominion.

And when you read Genesis 1:28, you will see the Process spelt out there, the Pathway spelt out there.

Now, the Scriptures says:

I. Be Fruitful

II. Multiply

III. Replenish

IV. Subdue.

Whenever and wherever you are Fruitful, Multiplying, Replenishing and Subduing, then you will be having Dominion.

So, to look at the Pathway or the Process to Dominion:

I. You will see that the first (1st) aspect is that you must be Fruitful.

So, Please be Productive, bring to existence.

This is very important for you to be exercising Dominion.

II. Secondly, you must be Multiplying – What we call multiplication.

To have Dominion, you must Multiply the Fruits that you have Produced.

And to Multiply means to increase, to expand in size.

So, there is need for you to be Fruitful and Multiplying.

III. And then you need to be Replenishing.

That is: Filling the Earth, occupy Spaces, occupy Places.

So, there is a need to be Fruitful, there is the need to be Multiplying and there is need to be Replenishing.

IV. If you are going to have Dominion, then there is need to be Subduing.

To Subdue means to be exercising control on what you have and be Sustaining them.

By extension, it means to “Conquer Exceptional Barriers”.

When looking at the Pathway or the Process to Dominion, you must be Fruitful, you must be Multiplying, you must be Replenishig and you must be Subduing – Very important!

2. Now, let us look at what we call the Places or Platform of Dominion.

We are looking at areas where you are expected to be exercising Dominion, the Places or the Platform that you are expected to be exercising Dominion and God expects you to be having Dominion:

I. In the “Material Realm” – Having the Good Things of life.

You can read Job 2:4-5 and Job 42.

II. In the “Medical Realm”.

Remember what happened in 2 Kings 5:4-20 – How Elisha exercised Dominion that made Naaman to be healed of leprosy and his skin became very New.

You discovered there that Elisha was exercising Dominion in the “Medical Realm”.

III. In the “Mental Realm”.

God expects you to be very Wise – To have Wisdom and be Operating with Wisdom.

Read Proverbs 3:35.

IV. In the “Moral Realm”.

God expects that sin will not be having Dominion over you.

Read Romans 6:14.

V. In the “Marital Realm”.

Victory in Marriages – Having a Good Home, enjoy your Marriage not just enduring.

*Having Dominion in the areas of your Marriage is what we call “Dominion in the Marital Realm”.

And you can read Genesis 30:1-2, Genesis 18:9-14.

VI. In the “Monetary Realm”.

Dominion in the Financial front – Knowing very well that if you don’t have money, your Problem will be many.

For you to have Dominion in the “Financial Realm”, you must know how to secure money, know how to spend money and you must know how to store money.

You need to be exercising Dominion in the Monetary Realm.

VII. In the “Metaphysical or Spiritual or Supernatural Realm”.

Read Romans 6:14.

You need to be exercising Dominion in the Metaphysical or Spiritual or Supernatural Realm.

*So, God expects you to be having Dominion in the Material Realm, Dominion in the Medical Realm, Dominion in the Mental Realm, Dominion in Marital Realm, Dominion in the Monetary Realm and Dominion in the Metaphysical or Spiritual or Supernatural Realm.

There are further Places and Platform that God expects you to be Living in Dominion – For example:

1. Dominion over Self.

You need to have Dominion over Self – Over your Flesh and over your Will.

That is what we see in 1 Corinthians 9:27 – God expects you to be having Dominion over Self.

2. Dominion over Situations and Circumstances.

As we see in Mark 4:39-41.

3. Dominion over the Sea Creatures and Air Creatures.

As we see in Psalms 72:8.

4. Dominion over sin.

Sin should not be lording over you – Romans 6:12-14.

5. Dominion over Satan

Dominion over Satan very important.

That is why the Scriptures says in 1 Peter 5:8 that: We should resist the devil and he will flee from us.

So, there is a need to be exercising Dominion over Satan.

6. Dominion over Sicknesses and Diseases.

Read Exodus 15:26 and 1 Peter 2:24.

7. Dominion over sorrow.

Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13, Revelation 21:5 and Proverbs 10:22.

8. Dominion over Statutes, over Summons, over Laws.

Read Romans 7:1 & Romans 7:6.

9. Dominion over the Sting of Death.

Read Romans 6:9-11 and 1Corinthians 15:55-57.

10. Dominion over Scantiness, Insufficiency and Poverty

You are supposed to be living in “Abundant Life” according to John 10:10 and 2 Corinthians 8:9.

So, there is a need for you to be having Dominion in these areas.

3. Now, let us look at the third (3rd) aspect – The main area and that is what we call the Principles of Dominion.

Read Romans 5:17.

So, Man lost Dominion in the Garden of Eden through the sin of the first Adam but Man gained the Dominion , Authority and Exercising of Power by reason of sacrifice, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

So, we want to look at what we call the “Principles of Dominion”:

If you are going to have the ability to be “Exercising Dominion”; what are the Principles?

Now, please Pay attention to this:

I. Principle of Prayer and Petition.

All those who are going to be Exercising Dominion must understand this Principle of Prayer or Petition.

It is very important because through Praying and Petition to God; you can receive the Authority to be Exercising Dominion.

You can read 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 18:1 and also Acts 16:16-18.

After Paul and Silas Prayed and Praised God, you discovered that they Exercise Dominion over Circumstances and Situations they found themselves.

II. Principle of Praise and Worship.

You can also read Acts 16:25-30 Matthew 21:16 and 2 Chronicles 20:22-23.

III. Principle of the Power of The Holy Spirit

You must be Baptised in the Holy Ghost.

You must have the Spirit of God with his Anointing and Power to be Exercising Dominion.

Read Acts 1:8 and Acts 10:38.

IV. Principle of the Power of God’s Grace.

It is very important because once God’s Grace is in your life, then He will see you Exercising Dominion.

And I Pray that you will be having more of God’s Grace in the Name of Jesus – Amen.

V. Principle of the Word of God.

Read Hebrew 4:12.

So, there is the Principle of the Word of God for you to be Exercising Dominion.

VI. Principle of the Name of Jesus.

For you to be Exercising Dominion, there is need for you to understand the Principle of the Name of Jesus.

Remember what happened in Acts 3:1-8 – Peter exercised Dominion over the Paralytic Man at the “Beautiful Gate” using the Principle of the Name of Jesus.

VII. Principle of Faith in Jesus.

VIII. Principle of Preaching of Jesus.

IX. Principle of Spiritual Gifts.

X. Principle of Proclamation.

Read Ecclesiastes 8:4.

XI. Principle of Divine Knowledge.

Read Daniel 11:32.

XII. Principle of Partnering with God.

There are many Principles to Exercising Dominion and I have made you to understand that God wants you to be Exercising Dominion.

There is a Need to put these Principles to work for you to be Exercising Dominion in every Spheres of Life in every areas of Life.

God expects every believers to be Exercising Dominion in every areas of Life.

… That is how we can occupy till He comes, that is how we can be in Charge till He comes.

So, as we look at Dominion Mindset, my Prayer for each and everyone of you is that everyone of you will be Exercising Dominion wherever you are Planted, to be Blossoming wherever you are, to be doing well wherever God ask you to be in the Name of Jesus.

And by the time we shall be having IGNITE SUMMIT 2021; there shall be Testimonies of People having and Exercising Dominion in the Name of Jesus – Amen.
