Introduction 

"And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth...... Gen. 1:26 ".

The above scripture reveal that the main purpose why God created Adam (the first man on earth) was to established heavenly principle on earth. Adam was created King of the earth by God to rule and have dominion on earth. Adam lost this dominion to Lucifer, when he disobeyed God. 

The fall of man

Lucifer took over this dominion from Adam when Adam fell. God was angry with Adam and drove him away from the garden of Eden. Before the fall have Adam, Adam exercise this dominion by naming every thing that exist on earth. "And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name therefore Gen. 2:19".Adam lost this privileged to Lucifer and Satan now has the right to afflict the descendants of  Adam. "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servant are ye to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness Rom. 6: 16 " . Adam obey the deception of Lucifer and became subject to him. 

God's plan of redemption

God has a plan B for man. He introduce the law to see if through the knowledge of the law man could understand God and establish genuine relationship with God.  The introduction of the law create the awareness of sin and man became more sinful. for the law was weak in that it was unable to prevent man from sinning against God. God sent the second Adam (Jesus Christ) to set man free from the yoke of sin. 

Christ the power and wisdom of God.

When Jesus Christ died on  Calvary tree and arose the third day, He took the dominion from Lucifer "Jesus said unto them, All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth. Matt. 28: 18". and hand over same to the church "Behold i give unto you, power over serpent and scorpion and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you! Luke 10: 19"

You most be in Christ Jesus to exercise this authority. As a believer your main purpose why you are a christian is to Know God. "Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him Ephes. 1:16-17 " . Apostle Paul once prayed that I might know Him and the power of His Resurrection..... Phi 3:10.   We know God through fellowship. We establish fellowship with God by studying the word and praying and worshiping Him on a daily  basis.
