Gen 1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Gregory Nyssen has properly observed that the superiority of man as compared to all other parts of creation is captured in the fact that all other creatures are represented as the effect of God’s word , but man is represented as the work of God, according to plan and consideration. (Adam Clarke’s commentary)
God prepared everything for man’s subsistence, convenience and pleasure before He brought him into being. He created man who was capable of governing the world and when He was through, He put man to have dominion over it.
God has given each and everyone of us a sphere of influence. It could be a family, business, an institution ,a farm, a church or even a specific spiritual realm. He expects you to have dominion over it. As a believer, you cannot just stay and watch things go from bad to worse. You were created to be fruitful, multiply , fill the earth and subdue it. In Christ, you can reclaim your authority.
