Preached by Pastor Kunle Oladebo
Psalm 8:3-9
- Introduction
- God has created us to have divine authority (vs. 5)
- We are crowned with glory and honour (vs. 5)
- We created for dominion (vs. 6)
- Often we are subject to things instead of things being subject to us (We do not know or have forgotten our position)
- Taking our situations as our fate
- These things can be reversed
- God has planned things for us from the beginning
- Modus Operandi of man is to operate in dominion
- Living in Dominion means
- Operate at divine level

- John 10:34 – Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’? (NKJV)
- Begin to operate in the extraordinary! Operate in the spiritual realm.
- Matthew 18:18 – “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (NKJV)
- Living above limitations and restrictions
- Believe you are created in the likeness and image of God
- Needed to maximize your potential and intellect
- Limitations: personal thinking and deficiency
- Man may be limited, but God is unlimited
- “For your expectation to overtake your limitation, you need to operate in dominion or else you will be stuck in that position.” – PKO
- Judges 5:13 – Deborah – Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty. (KJV)

- Keys to Operating in Dominion
- Dominion over Sin
- Sin is a dominion destroyer
- Romans 6:14 – “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” (NKJV)
- Dominion we lost through the first Adam was restored through the second Adam (Jesus Christ)
- We are operating under the dispensation of Grace
- Sin is knocking at the door. Refuse to yield. Psalm 119:133 – Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me. (NKJV)
- Dominion over Fear
- Fear is the tool the devil uses to subdue us
- Proverbs 29:25 – “Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.” (NIV)
- Fear prevents us from
- Becoming whom God created us to be
- Maximizing our potential
- Stepping into our greatness
- Leaving your comfort zone – Always believing bird in hand is better than 10 in the forest
- Operate in your destiny
- Fear brings torment
- God wants us to operate in faith; Satan wants us to operate in fear
- Mark 4:40 – “But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How[a] is it that you have no faith?”” (NKJV)
- 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” (NKJV)
- Job feared in Job 3:25 – “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.” (NKJV)
