MEMORY VERSE: “Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:” – Psalm 8:6 (scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 31 March 2019 HYMN)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 1:26-28 KJV (RCCG Sunday School STUDENT Manual 31 March 2019)
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 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.
LESSON INTRODUCTION:
Kingdom means king’s domain. The domain is the area where the king has dominion (absolute control). Dominion also refers to sovereign and supreme authority; the power of governing and controlling. It is the power to direct, use and dispose at pleasure. One of the most beautiful features of the Christian life is that as God’s children, we are created for dominion (Gen. 1:28; Rev 1:6). God wants us to exercise dominion in every area of life.

1. SECRETS OF DOMINION
In order to enjoy the kind of life God has prepared for us, you need to understand what it takes to have, exercise and maintain dominion. You must surrender your life to Christ, abide with Him and remain under His authority as your Lord and Saviour ( 2 Cor. 5:17; Job 22:21; Phil. 2:9-11). Rule over your own spirit (Prov. 16:32) by subjecting it to the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14). Exercise your faith in Christ (Matt. 17:20; Luke 17:6). Fervent prayer (James 5:17), the blood of Jesus (Rev. 12:11), and then power of God’s word (Heb. 4:12) are other essential ingredients for dominion. Above all, a consistent life of holiness is non-negotiable for anyone that wants to exercise dominion continuously (Heb. 1:8; John 14:30; Eccl. 10:8)
