Blessed from creation,we’re meant to dominate

“SO God created man in his own image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.’” — Genesis 1:27-28

God’s first act towards humanity was to bless us.

This blessing is a foundational aspect of our identity. God blessed humanity at creation and commanded us to dominate.

We are not mere creations. We are blessed creations with a purpose and responsibility. Blessed from creation, we are meant to dominate.

This is our identity and purpose as stewards of God’s creation.

The command to “subdue” and “have dominion” indicates that we are designed to exercise authority and stewardship over the earth.

This is a call to responsible management and care for God’s creation.In our daily lives, recognising that we are blessed can transform our perspective.

When we understand our identity as blessed individuals, we can approach challenges with confidence and hope, knowing that God has equipped us to thrive and lead.

Embracing our role as stewards encourages us to engage with the world positively, making a difference in our communities and environments.

Let us welcome our identity as “blessed stewards” created to rule and multiply.

We are equipped to make a significant impact in the world around us.

Remember, we were blessed from creation and created to dominate.
