Audio Version
Matthew 6:33 (KJV) – “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
The kingdom way to dominion is the path that seeks first the advancement of God’s purposes, the establishment of His righteousness, and the spreading of His kingdom rather than focusing primarily on personal gain or personal advancement. When you follow the kingdom way, you do not grasp for dominion but receive it as a by product of your commitment to
something greater than yourself. This is the secret of true dominion; it comes not to those who pursue power but to those who pursue righteousness and the expansion of God’s kingdom.
As you seek the kingdom first, everything else – all the blessing, power, honour and authority is added to you. When dominion is pursued through the kingdom way, it carries blessing and life with it. The people under your authority are not oppressed but lifted up. The lands you govern flourish. The influence you carry transforms and heals. This is what it means to rule in the kingdom way – to use authority not to build your own kingdom but to advance God’s.
Today, commit to the kingdom way to dominion. Make the advancement of God’s purposes and the establishment of His righteousness your primary focus, and then watch as all the blessings come to you. As you seek first His Kingdom, He will faithfully establish you in the dominion He has prepared for your life.
Hold on to this prophetic declaration from Prophet Isaiah Macwealth:
I decree that you are walking the kingdom way to dominion! As you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, let all the blessing, and all the authority you need is being added to you bringing you into the dominion destined for you in Jesus’ name!
