KINGDOM LEADERSHIP

Genesis 1:26 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.

Genesis 1:28 KJV  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.




Genesis is about GOD EXTENDING HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM INTO THE EARTH.

Man was made in God’s image and gave man DOMINION.

That is the reason people cannot stand being dominated.

People go to work for money, and break their backs to do so, but church is a second rate issue.

Acts 4:33-35 KJV  And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.  (34)  Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,  (35)  And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Notice that money was laid at THEIR FEET!

Genesis 1:28 KJV  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.

Matthew 6:9 KJV  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

But we must be careful to realize we have RULERSHIP not OWNERSHIP.

The same principle is shown here:

Matthew 21:33 KJV  Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

Matthew 21:43 KJV  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Earth is God’s and He leased it to have it returned to Him.

We cannot stand being dominated.

Psalms 115:14-16 KJV  The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.  (15)  Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.  (16)  The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

We are meant to be blessed by God, who made heaven and earth.

God actually made sure we would never stay in Heaven.

Jesus immortal body had the ability to appear and vanish.

GOD GAVE US AUTHORITY HERE.

Matthew 16:19 KJV  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Notice where we bind and loose.

There is an earth arrangement.

PRAYER IS BUSINESS.

We did not fall from Heaven as though we have to return to heaven.

WE MUST LEARN TO THINK LIKE LEADERS, and not dominated people.

KNOW who we are and do not doubt ourselves.

Only God can rule over us.

People are dominated by their bodies and sexuality.

Adam lost a KINGDOM ON EARTH.

The prodigal son returned home and wanted to be a servant.

Romans 12:2 Complete Apostles' Bible  (2)  And do not fashion yourselves after this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.

SAVED PEOPLE HAVE A MENTAL PROBLEM.

Romans 12:1 CEV  Dear friends, God is good. So I beg you to offer your bodies to him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's the most sensible way to serve God.

Cut off sinful relationships.

Matthew 16:27 CEV  The Son of Man will soon come in the glory of his Father and with his angels to reward all people for what they have done.

GLORY means HEAVY WEIGHT in the HEBREW – KAW-BODE’

Recall in Matt 25 that he separates AS SHEEP FROM GOATS.

Matthew 25:31-32 KJV  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  (32)  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

The manner in which he separates them is the way shepherds separate sheep from goats.

Sheep and goats are mingled in the fields.

Matthew 25:34 Complete Apostles' Bible  (34)  Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

The ones who hear and follow HIS VOICE inherit the KINGDOM!

Let us renew our minds and THINK LEADERSHIP!
