God’s ORIGINAL INTENT was that man should have DOMINION over all His Creation. And that intent still remains.

The first Adam, who is the progenitor of the old creation, dropped the ball; but the Second Adam, Christ, who is the progenitor of the new creation succeeded.

”Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Dominion Mandate Redefined || Pastor Tee || Breathe Church Global We are called by Christ to dominate.

We are not called to be executioners but life givers.

Do you realize why many churches have zero power? It's not even sin. It's the law. The law dries up the well of the Spirit.

He alone makes you sufficient.

ADDICTED KINGDOM SERVICE

God is not an opportunist. Life on earth is about investments; it is only those who make deposits that man make withdrawals. You cannot withdraw from a bank that you did not make deposit in. if you aim at nothing, you will hit nothing. In God’s agenda, every harvest must start with a seed; you cannot reap where you have not sown (Ecc. 3:2)

Jesus had to lay down His life before He could take it again. Sometimes, we want blessings but we don’t want the responsibilities that come with it. (John 12:24)(John 10:17-18)

As you lay down your life for His service, you will never remain the same in Jesus name!

Addiction originated from the word ‘Addict’. An addict is someone who is devoted to or surrenders himself habitually to the control and influence of a thing or person. He is someone, who without compulsion, likes and enjoys something so much that he spends time, valuable resources and energy in doing it, for example a drug addict.

An addict is a devotee; a fanatic and one who is obsessed or possessed by something or someone. He is someone who is accustomed to a thing or person that he cannot stay away or live without that thing or person. He is so sold-out to that thing

An addict is someone who allows himself to be influenced and controlled by something or someone he loves and holds in high esteem

Kingdom addiction is joyfully allowing God to exercise full ownership and control over your life, time, resources, career and decisions towards the advancement of God’s course on earth.

It is to be sold-out to God so much so that nothing in life matters to you except those things that matter to God.

Kingdom addiction is to be devoted to God and His work. It is the readiness to live and die for God’s course on earth without due consideration to self.

It is feeling what God feels and allow only what moves God to move you. It is humanity allowing divinity to dominate and exercise absolute control over her; interrupting her activities any day and time; spirit soul and body.

It is having the habit of being obsessed with the mentality and lifestyle of promoting God’s course and advancing His kingdom.

Life is of no worth if you are not living it for Christ. Most Christians have accepted Christ as their savior but have not made Him the Lord of their lives; they are not dedicated to Him. There is a great difference between Altar call and dedication.

Altar call does not guarantee heaven; otherwise, Judas would have made heaven. He accepted Christ as his master but was not dedicate to Him. So, do not get carried away by the altar call you made; you must be sold-out to Him if you want to make heaven.

Kingdom addiction calls for total surrendering of all you are, all you own and all you do. It is a total dedication to God.

Kingdom addiction is the secret behind earthly distinction. Until you are sold out to God, you cannot stand out in life.

There are five cardinal points or principal pillars of kingdom addiction and they include:

Vineyard addiction
Fishing and hunting addiction
Capital investment addiction
Affection/love addiction
Stewardship addiction

Vineyard addiction is about becoming addicted to fellowship; when coming to church becomes a delight. David was so addicted to fellowship that he went to the temple three times to pray and seven times to praise daily. He was the wealthiest and the most powerful man in his time, ye, he had time for God. People who avoid fellowship usually get into trouble.

When you are addicted to God’s presence, you enjoy divine health, obtain joy and gladness; and God reveals His ways to you among other benefits

Fishing and hunting addiction is about being addicted to soul winning. The primary reason you are born again is to save others. You have no justification to condemn a sinner you have not preached to. Your love for God is fake if you are not interested in soul winning. Use everything you have to bring them to Jesus.

Capital investment addiction involves serving God with your finances while affection addiction is simply being committed to God delightsomely. It is your affection for the kingdom that triggers your rapid promotion and guarantees your earthly distinction.

Finally, stewardship addiction is when you are addicted to serving God. Stop waiting for big titles and start serving with all your heart. Every title in the church is a call to service and fruit bearing.

When you are addicted in the areas listed above, God will cause you to be distinguished here on earth, your coast will be enlarged and God, Himself will announce you to your world in Jesus name!

DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TEAM FOR YOUR VISION.

Entrepreneurs ask themselves, "do we have a market?"
Managers ask themselves, "do we have the products?"
Investors ask themselves, "do we understand the risks in this market?"

Leaders ask themselves, "do we have the right team for this vision?"

THE GOSPEL IS NOT ABOUT DEMAND AND SUPPLY.

The true gospel never came by way of worldly methods or as a result of demand and supply. No one has ever demanded God but all of us were going our own ways [Isaiah 53:6].

Wherever the apostles or Jesus went with the gospel it was because God led them there. Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing [John 5:19]. Remember Him and the woman of Samaria? “He left Judea and departed again for Galilee. And He had to pass through Samaria.” [John 4:3-4]. That woman didn’t know Him neither did she demand Him but He revealed Himself to her. There was no demand and supply.

What about the Macedonian call? Was it a man that called on Paul to come over? “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” [Acts 16:9].

Firstly, that was a man that Paul saw in a vision not the vision of a man to call for thegospel. Secondly, how did Paul and his team understand the vision? “And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.” [Acts 16:10]. They concluded that the vision was God calling them to go to Macedonia. There was no demand and supply.

People are used to say God will never stop you from going somewhere or from spreading the gospel to other places but Scriptures tell us otherwise. He did not just send the apostles with the gospel to some places but He also forbade them to go to other places.

“And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.” [Acts 16:6]. God is in control of who hears and receives the word. He forbade that the word to be spoken in Asia. Some people of Asia missed the word that time.

There are people who bind and loose everything today but we need to know that at times it is not the devil who stops us from ministering

“And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.” [Acts 16:7].

Doesn’t God do this throughout the Scriptures both the Old and the New? He does. Think of the calling of the saints, Noah, Abraham, David, Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Elisha, the young prophet, the apostles, Paul, Cornelius and others. None of them found Him by way of demand and supply but by grace.

What kind of people ought we to be then if we are believers? We ought to be a people that abide in Him. A people that always submit to His word and trust Him. We ought to be a people that “… know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.” [Romans 8:28]

‘Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.’ [John 6:43-44]

COURAGE

Joshua 1:1-9

“Only be thou strong and very courageous…have not i commanded thee? …“ - Joshua 1:7, 9

Do you want to lead people? You are going to need a lot of courage. In Joshua 1:1-9, God exhorted Joshua three times to be courageous.

This was the beginning of Joshua’s life as a leader. Obviously, courage was very important for the ministry of Joshua to succeed. It takes a courageous person to advance into fearful and frightening circumstances.

It takes courage to advance when the outcome is uncertain. You need a lot of courage when failure looks like a real option. When defeat is rallying around to welcome you, you need to be bold to press on to victory. We all know that the bystanders are waiting for our downfall. It takes courage to continue on a certain course of action.

Without courage, you cannot call yourself a leader. It takes courage to start a church or a business. What about if it fails? It takes courage to follow a new idea.

It is only courageous people who can be leaders. Success or failure depends on being courageous. It takes courage to stand up for the truth. The reason why many people do not try new aspects of ministry is because they lack courage. It takes courage to pray for the sick. It takes courage to minister the Spirit. It takes courage to launch out!
Ask God for the spirit of Joshua. You will find yourself advancing into higher heights when you are very courageous!

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT YOURSELF !

Joh 1:22 Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you SAY ABOUT YOURSELF" 23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'"

Many preachers are just drifting, no specific mission or message. John was clear "He was not the Christ, He was not Jeremiah or any other. He was a VOICE of preparation for the one coming after him. Sometimes ministry wreckages are found among fellow brethren who ain't sure about the MESSAGE God gave them. They don't give voice to anything except what's trending. If you are called to serve under a ministry, understand their MESSAGE and walk in it's light. If you lead a ministry, you OUGHT to have a specific message. Yes Jesus and salvation is it but what aspect of Jesus did you come to represent.

Knowing that you're an Apostle, Prophet, or any office doesn't give you purpose. Office is not purpose. Office is there to serve a purpose. May you find your voice in Jesus' Name.

HOW DO YOU LEAD??

A young man saw his primary school teacher at a wedding ceremony.
He went to greet him with all respect and admiration!!

He said to him:
"Can you still recognize me Sir?'

'I don't think so!!', said the Teacher, 'could you please remind me how we met?'

The student recounted:
"I was your Student in the 3rd Grade, I stole a Wrist watch belonging to my then classmate because it was unique and fascinating.

My Classmate came to you crying that his Wrist Watch had been stolen and you ordered all Students in the class to stand on a straight line, facing the wall with our hands up and our eyes closed so you could check our pockets. At this point, I became jittery and terrified of the outcome of the search. The shame I will face after other Students discovered that I stole the Watch, the opinions my Teachers will form about me, the thought of being named a ' thief' till I leave the School and my Parents' reaction when they get to know about my action. All these thoughts flowing across my heart, when suddenly it was my turn to be checked. I felt your hand slipped into my pocket and you brought out the Watch. I was gripped with fear, expecting the worse to be announced. I was surprised I didn't hear anything, but Sir, you continued searching other Students' pockets till you got to the last person.

When the search was over, you asked us to open our eyes and sit on our Chairs. I was afraid to sit because I was thinking you will call me out soon after everyone was seated.

But to my amazement, you showed the watch to the class, gave it to the owner and you never mentioned the name of the one who stole the watch.
You didn't say a word to me, and you never mentioned the story to anyone.

Throughout my stay in the school, no Teacher or Student knew what happened. This incident naturally taught me a great lesson and I resolved in my heart never to get myself involved in taking whatever is not mine.
I thought to myself, you saved my dignity."

"Do you remember the story now Sir? You can't simply forget this story Sir!!"

The teacher replied, ' I vividly remember the story that I found the Watch in a pocket but i did not know in whose pocket the stolen Watch was found that day because I searched your pockets while I also had my eyes closed."

In life, we need wisdom for everything we do. As Parents, Teachers, Leaders etc... We should be able to close our eyes to some things. Not all misbehaviour require punishment. Some will need encouragement, some mentoring and some monitoring. Be a Leader who impacts not one who shatters.
