There is a Call to LEAD!
Men are designed to be leaders by the LORD.
Responsibilities are given to men in general.
A king takes responsibility for the welfare of his people. He provides both justice and mercy to his people. Jesus is a king from the line of David.
A king provides for and offers protection and security for his people.
A husband is to be the “family king”.
He provides for the needs of his family.
He works diligently to earn enough for food and shelter. He administers discipline with fairness. He quickly forgives and overlooks offenses. He acts in a manner worthy of receiving honor. He treats his wife with consideration and respect. He is careful not to be harsh with her. He is a provider for his family. God has anointed men to lead their wives and their families as their prophet, priest, and king.

The Kingdom of God and the Dominion Mandate
I believe that regaining a Biblical understanding of the dominion mandate and how it relates to the kingdom of God would have a profound impact on the Church, which in turn would have a profound impact on the world.
So, what is the dominion mandate?
Admittedly, this is not language that is terribly common in evangelical circles, many people hear the root ‘dominae’ and they think of words like domination, or domineering.
People picture a tyrant, forcefully imposing his will upon unwilling citizens. So when we talk about ‘taking dominion’ or seeking to build Christ’s Kingdom so that He will have dominion, many people associate this with a crusader-style conquering; “conversions” at the end of the sword, or some other coercive efforts.
So let’s get this straight at the outset: this is NOT what we’re talking about when we talk about taking dominion.
So then what do we mean?
For that we need to go back to the beginning.
Genesis 1:28: God made mankind in His image, “And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
God made man the vice-regents over His creation.
To have dominion was to have lordship over creation.
God created the world, and gave mankind a mediated authority to rule, govern and steward His good creation.
Adam and Eve were tasked with fruitfulness and dominion.
They were to be fruitful; have children, fill the earth with
image-bearers, who would collectively exercise godly dominion over the world.
So to exercise godly dominion is to faithfully steward that which God has entrusted to you. It is faithfulness to God in all that He has given you authority over. It is seeking to let your life, and all that you are responsible to redound to the Glory of God.
The original dominion mandate for Adam and Eve was to fill the earth and subdue it. God wanted this whole earth filled with His image bearers who would subdue, and cultivate the earth as they went; imitating their creator in bringing order out of chaos.
As Christians, we are seeking to bring everything under the Lordship of Christ. Because this world is His, because we are His, we are to exercise Christ-exalting dominion, bringing every area of our lives under His feet; seeking to honor Him in everything. So whatever God has given you authority over, you are to exercise that authority in a way that will glorify God.
The most basic level is our own self-government.
We have been given control over ourselves, and we are called to exercise self-control. We seek to glorify God with our bodies. Godly dominion over our physical bodies means that we will care for what God has given us. This has implications for hygiene, diet and exercise.
When Christians are well-taught, they will begin living according to the Lordship of Christ and apply God’s laws and principles, following His example and teachings of radical, counter-cultural, self-giving love.
This is the Kingdom of God; gospel-transformed people, living and serving Christ as Lord, seeking to bring every area of life under His feet, building, cultivating, loving, and worshiping.
The Lord Jesus Christ must “have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!”
Lets turn rebels into citizens. Turning enemies into sons.
There is no growth of the Kingdom apart from the gospel.
Lets work in service to King Jesus, exercise godly dominion, may your heart’s desire be to see what Jesus taught us to pray: “Your Kingdom Come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” -Soli Deo Gloria
WHY?
Because of the CROSS
