Genesis 1:26-27(KJV); And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and 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, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
When God created man in Genesis 1:26, He created a man in spirit. That is why this man carried the image and likeness of God. Understand that when the Bible speaks of image and likeness, it does not mean image and likeness in body or flesh. It was a likeness in spirit. The man with a body came later in Genesis 2:7.
It was the spirit man of Genesis 1:26 that was given dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air and over everything upon the earth.
What does this teach us about dominion?
True dominion can only begin from the spirit realm. We conquer on the earth what we have tamed in the spirit. We influence in the physical realm, what we have influenced in the spirit.
Like Christ said in Matthew 18:18(AMP); “Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is ALREADY forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is ALREADY permitted in heaven.”
Often times, the Church of Christ teaches dominion without understanding the primary place of dominion. Christians are being taught how to win in the marketplace through hard work and diligence(which are very important principles) but they are not reminded of where winning starts from.
The mountains of influence that many seek to conquer are first conquered in the realm of spirits.
You are a spirit man and win like a spirit man. The winning of a spirit man is vastly different from that of a soulish man. The victory of the spirit man is a past tense affair. The victory of a man of the soul is futuristic. Let this understanding dictate your quest for success. Let this consciousness be the cornerstone of your ambition.
Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: True dominion can only begin from the spirit realm. We conquer on the earth what we have tamed in the spirit. We influence on the earth, what we have influenced in the spirit.
PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for this Word. I know who I am and what You have made me to be. I am deeply acquainted with the realm of God because it is where I live, move and exist. My victories are guaranteed because I am exercised in this understanding. To the glory of Your name, Amen.

Olubereberye 1:26-27(KJV); Katonda n’ayogera nti, Tukole omuntu mu ngeri yaffe, mu kifaananyi kyaffe: bafugenga eby’omu nnyanja n’ebibuuka waggulu, n’ente, n’ensi yonna, na buli ekyewalula ku nsi. Katonda n’atonda omuntu mu ngeri ye, mu ngeri ya Katonda mwe yamutondera; omusajja n’omukazi bwe yabatonda.
Katonda Bwe yatonda omuntu mu Olubereberye 1:26, Yatonda omuntu mu mwoyo.Y’ensoga lwaki omuntu yalina ekifaananyi n’engeri ya Katonda.
Tegeera nti buli Baibuli lw’eyogera ku kifaananyi n’engeri, tetegeeza kifaananyi n’engeri mu mubiri: okugeza okubeera n’amagulu nga agakatonda, omumwa ng’ogwa Katonda oba amaaso nga agakatonda. Kwali kwefaananyiriza kwa mu mwoyo. Omuntu alina omubiri (amaaso, engalo n’amagulu) yajja luvannyuma mu Olubereberye 2:7.
Yali muntu w’omwoyo mu Oluberebrye 1:26 eyaweebwa obuyinza eri eby’ennyanja n’ebinyonyi by’omubbanga nabuli kimu ekiri ku nsi.
Kino kitusomesa ki ku buyinza?
Obuyinza obwa namaddala butandikira mu nsi ey’omwoyo. Tuwangula ku nsi, ebyo bye tukakkanyizza mu nsi ey’omwoyo. Tufuga ku nsi erabikako ebyo bye tufuze mu mwoyo.
Nga Kristo bwe yagamba mu Matayo 18:18(AMP) “Mazima mbagamba nti, kyonna kyemugaana era kyemulangirira okubeera eky’obugwaagwa era ekitali kya mpisa ku nsi, kiteekeddwa okubeera nga kyagaaniddwa DDA mu ggulu, era kyonna kye mukkiriza era kye mulangirira okubeera eky’amakulu era eky’empisa ku nsi, kiteekeddwa okubeera nga kyakkiriziddwa DDA mu ggulu”
Ebiseera ebisinga, Ekkanisa ya Kristo esomesa obuyinza, so ate neyeesuulirayo ogwa nagamba ku kutegeera omusingi ogutandikibwako, muntegeera y’obuyinza buno. Abakristaayo basomeseddwa nnyo bwe balina okuwangula mu bifo gye bakolera nga bayita mu kukola ennyo n’obunyiikivu (era ennono zino z’amakulu nnyo), naye ne batajjukizibwa wa okuwangula gye kutandikira.
Ebifo eby’obuyinza abangi bye bayayaanira okuwangula bisooka kuwangulwa mu nsi ey’omwoyo.
Oli muntu wamwoyo era wangula ng’omuntu w’omwoyo. Obuwanguzi bw’omuntu ow’omwoyo bwa njawulo nnyo ku bw’omuntu owa bulijjo. Obuwanguzi bw’omuntu ow’omwoyo bwaggwa dda. Obuwanguzi bw’omuntu wa bulijjo bwa mu mukiseera eky’omumaaso. Leka okutegeera kuno kukulembere mu kunoonya kwo okw’obuwanguzi. Leka endowooza eno ebeere omusingi gw’ebiruubirirwa byo.
Alleluya!

Okutandika 1:26-27; Ruhanga yaagira ati: Katuhangye omuntu omu muringo gwaitu, ashushane naitwe; bategyekye eby’omu nyanja, n’ebirikuguruka omu mwanya, n’amatungo, n’ensi yoona, na byona ebirikugyendesa enda ahansi. 27 Ruhanga yaahanga omuntu orikumushusha; omu kushusha kwa Ruhanga yaaba nimwo yaamuhangira; yaahanga omushaija n’omukazi.
Ruhanga ku yahangire omuntu omu kitabo ky’Okutandika 1:26, akahanga omuntu omu mwoyo. Niky’omuntu ogu yaabaire ari omu muringo gwa Ruhanga kandi arikumushusha. Yetegyereza ngu Baiburi ku erikugamba aha muringo n’okushusha, terikumanyisa omuringo n’okushusha okw’omubiri: mbwenu ekirikumanyisa okugira engaro nka Ruhanga, amaguru nka Ruhanga, omunwa nka Ruhanga ninga aha maisho nk’aha Ruhanga. Kukaba kuri okushusha okw’omwoyo. Omuntu owabaire aine omubiri ( aha maisho, engaro n’amaguru) akaija bwanyima omu kitabo ky’Okutandika 2:7.
Omu kitabo ky’Okutandika 1:26, akaba ari omuntu w’omwoyo owaheirwe obutegyeki aha by’omu nyanja, ebirikuguruka omu mwanya, na byona ebirikugyendesa enda ahansi.

Nk’oku Kristo yagizire omu Matayo 18:18 (AMP) “Buzimazima nimbagambira nti: Ebi muriboha omu nsi byona, biryaba biri EBYABOHIRWE omu Iguru; kandi ebi murikomoorora omu nsi byona, biryaba biri ebya komoriirwe omu Iguru.”
Obwire obwingi, ekanisa ya Kristo neyegyesa obutegyeki etabandize kwetegyereza obutandikiro bw’obutegyeki. Abakristaayo bariyo nibegyesibwa okusingura omu by’obushuubuzi ahabw’okukora n’amaani n’obweziriki (kandi ebintu ebi nabyo nibikuru) kwonka tibarikubaijutsya ah’okusingura kurikutandikira.
Enshozi z’obushoboorozi ez’abantu baingi barikusherura kutegyeka nizibanza zaategyekwa omu rurengo orw’emyoyo.
Ori omuntu w’omwoyo kandi nosingura nk’omuntu w’omwoyo. Obusinguzi bw’omuntu w’omwoyo nibutaana n’obw’omuntu ow’amagara g’obuntu. Obusinguzi bw’omuntu w’omwoyo bukahwa kare. Obusinguzi bw’omuntu ow’amagara g’obuntu n’obw’omubiro by’omu maisho. Reka egi enyetegyereza ekwebembere omu kusherura kw’obusinguzi. Reka egi enteekateeka ebe omusingye gw’ebirooto byawe.

ISI Y’IMYUKA I
Apostle Grace Lubega
Itangiriro 1:26-27; Imana iravuga iti “Tureme umuntu agire ishusho yacu ase natwe, batware amafi yo mu nyanja, n’inyoni n’ibisiga byo mu kirere, n’amatungo n’isi yose, n’igikururuka hasi cyose.” Imana irema umuntu ngo agire ishusho yayo, afite ishusho y’Imana ni ko yamuremye, umugabo n’umugore ni ko yabaremye.
Imana irema umuntu mu itangiriro 1:26, Yamuremye mu mwuka. Ni nayo mpamvu uyu muntu yari afite ishusho ndetse asa n’Imana. Sobanukirwa ko iyo bibiliya ivuga ku ishusho no gusa n’Imana, bitavuze gusa mu ishusho y’umubiri: ni ukuvuga kugira amaboko nka y’Imana, amaguru nka y’Imana, umunwa nkuw’Imana cg mu maso nka h’Imana. Byari ugusa mu mwuka. Umuntu afite umubiri (Isura,amaboko n’amaguru) byaje nyuma mu Itangiriro 2:7.
Yari umuntu w’umwuka wo mu Itangiriro 1:26 wahawe ubutware ku mafi yo mu nyanja, Ibisiga byo mu kirere na buri kintu cyose kiri ku isi.
Ibi bitwigisha iki ku butware?
Ubutware nyabwo buhera gusa mu isi y’umwuka. Tunesha mu isi ibyo twanesheje mu mwuka. Duhindura mu isi, Ibyo twahinduye mu mwuka.
Nkuko kristo yavuze muri Matayo 18:18 ngo; “Ndababwira ukuri yuko ibyo muzahambira mu isi bizaba bihambiriwe mu ijuru, kandi ibyo muzahambura mu isi BIZABA bihambuwe mu ijuru.”
Kenshi, Itorero rya kristo ryigisha ku butware ridafite gusobanukirwa kw’aho ubutware bwahereye. Abakristo barigishwa uko batera imbere mu bucuruzi binyuze mu gukora cyane no gutitiriza (aya ni amahame y’ingenzi) ariko ntibibutswa aho gutsinda guhera.
Imisozi y’impinduka benshi bashaka kugeraho ibanza gusingirwa mu isi y’imyuka.
Uri umuntu w’umwuka kandi utsinda nk’umuntu w’umwuka. Gutsinda k’umuntu w’umwuka gutandukanye no gutsinda k’umuntu w’umubiri. Intsinzi y’umuntu w’umwuka ni amateka. Intsinzi y’umuntu w’umubiri ni ejo hazaza. Reka uku gusobanukirwa kugene gushaka gutera imbere kwawe. Reka uku kumenya kube ibuye rikomeza ibyo ushaka kugeraho.
Hallelujah!

Worlds were created and framed by the Word of God.
It is vital and extremely critical for every child of God to walk in the graces of distinction. When a man does not walk in these graces, he inevitably submits himself to the dictates of merit.
The kingdom of God is not a meritocracy.
The uniqueness of the new creature in Christ can never be overstated.
Job went through a furnace of misery, pain and loss. He lost his property, his children, struggled with bodily affliction and looked to death as a merciful alternative(Job 1). He suffered in a short span of time what many people combined would never suffer in an entire lifetime.
When God added fifteen more years to Hezekiah’s life, He also promised him deliverance from the attacks of the king of Assyria and defence of his city. A longer life was accompanied by peace.
Life has a hierarchy to it. There are forms of life which are quite low on the scale of life. Plantlife is a form of life; animal life is a form of life; human life is a form of life. These forms of life vary in rank.
Every man in the first Adamic line is merely a living soul, like our theme scripture reveals. Any man in the Christ line is a spirit(John 3:6).
