Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men

Dominion versus Domination

If men would realize that —

• dominion is not the same thing as domination, • dominion is to be exercised over the world and not over other people, • submission is something earned rather than demanded, • men and women are equal but different, • men and women need one another, we would go a long way to restoring both harmonious rela tionships between males and females and God‘s plan for humanity. I am convinced that there can be no true dominion over the earth unless God‘s original design is intact. It is crucial for us to understand the principle that the way we are de signed is because of our purpose for existence. The way a male is and the way a female is are directly related to why they exist. They each have been called to special and specif ic re sponsibilities in God‘s kingdom purposes. In the next three chapters, we‘ll take a closer look at God‘s dominion assignments for the male.
