This must be one of the world's greatest travesties...
The ungodly have no qualms about seeking dominion while the people of God are hesitant to pursue such a thing.
Think about it...
Globalists, deep staters, socialists, communists, radical gender activists and others are relentless in bringing their agenda to the world...
... while those God has given the grace to pursue dominion for the good of humanity are reluctant to rule with their King.
Why the reluctance?
Maybe ignorance that dominion is the Bible's most basic command for us (Gen.1:28)?
Or perhaps it's an unwillingness to embrace the faithful effort getting dominion requires?
It could also be an overly spiritualized and privatized view of faith that sees no place for applying it to the issues of everyday, public life.
Or, maybe it's a misplaced fear that applying one's beliefs across the board involves dominating others or imposing your values on them.
Whatever the reason, here's something to understand...
Dominion is an inescapable concept.
Someone will rule.
So believers must either get dominion as the Lord commands, or find themselves dominated by those who hate them and want to do away with all they hold dear.
Put another way...
There really are those who want to eat your lunch.
Upsetting, for sure.
But here's something to hearten you...
While the ungodly seek dominion by pushing lies and promoting evil, believers attain it a more noble way...
... by abiding in the truth and committing themselves to loving service through every inch of existence...
... all in the name of their King and in the power of His Spirit.
And to encourage you further...
We have every reason to believe God will be with us as we're faithful -- because ruling and developing the world for Him is what He made us to do (Ps.8:6).
