The empowerment to be, do and have.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion…”
Genesis 1:26(KJV)

God did not make man to be subservient to anything. God wanted man to reign on earth, but how is he going to reign? For the man to reign, God had to bless him. So in Genesis 1:28 the Bible says, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion”

So, the blessing is the empowerment to be, to do or to have all that God has ordained for you to be, do or have. The word blessing is one of the most miss understood word in the body of Christ. For some people when they hear the word blessing, the first thing they think about is money. But for you to understand the blessing, you need to know whose idea was the blessing.

The blessing was God’s idea. God said unto the man He had made, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion” This shows us that the first thing that the blessing would do in your life is to make you fruitful. That means the blessing would make you productive, effective, and reproductive; in other words you can perpetuate what you start. You can perpetuate yourself; you can reproduce that business again. If you are a cell leader, you can start another cell and still be effective because you are fruitful.

Also, when God blesses you, it will cause you to multiply; that is to increase in number. The blessing will cause you to enlarge or increase in greatness. Then the blessing will also empower you to replenish the earth. The word replenish means to refill, it also means to accomplish. That means that without the blessing I cannot accomplish my God given assignment.

This is the blessing; God said, “Be fruitful, and multiply…” That is the empowerment to be. Then God said, “Replenish the earth, and subdue it…” That is the empowerment to do. Then God said, “Have dominion…” That is the empowerment to have. Therefore, the blessing is the empowerment to be, do and have all that God has ordained for you to be, do and have.

CONFESSION
Father I thank you for I am blessed. I am empowered by the blessing to be fruitful and multiply, I am empowered by the blessing to refill the earth and subdue it. I am empowered by the blessing to have dominion. Thank you Father for you have made me to have dominion over the nobles among the people and you have given me dominion over the mighty.
