MEMORY VERSE: “Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:” – Psalms 8:6 (scroll down for RCCG Sunday School 31 March 2019 HYMN)
BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 1:26-28 KJV (RCCG Sunday School TEACHER’s 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.
TEXT REVIEW: GENESIS 1:26-28
The spheres of dominion which God gave to human beings especially His children are as follows:
i. Marine/aquatic/water hydrosphere and related substances and content. Gen. 1:26.
ii. Air/aerospace, clouds, atmosphere and related substances and content. Gen. 1:26.
iii. The earth surface, the earth strata, morphologies, solid minerals and related substances and content. Gen. 1:26.
Apostle Paul corroborated believers’ dominion through the Lord Jesus Christ when he said, “… at the name of Jesus every knee should bow …. Things in heaven, things on earth and things under the earth” .. (Phil 2:10-11). The problem lies in knowing things that are freely given to us by God (1 Cor. 2:12). Do we know that dominion is ours? The more of the Holy spirit in us, the more of Jesus in us, the more the dominion we exercise. 1 Cor. 2:10-16.

To rejoice at Thy birth. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day, Thy friendship suits me well,
Both young and old will sing Thy song,
We long for Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Christ was Thy first teacher,
The Holy Spirit, great teacher,
Does manifest in thee. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
This testimony is sure,
That God, the Father Almighty,
Poured His blessing on Thee. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Though the sun be so bright,
Or if the clouds black with rain,
I’ll be in Sunday School. - O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
I rejoice to see Thee,
Will thou pass over me today?
Without my being blest?
