The human mind is like a field. The soil in the field is designed to develop and multiply the seeds sown. It cannot distinguish between good and bad seeds, it grows any seed. Therefore, it’s important to discern what seeds you are sowing and where you are deriving your identity from.
 

In this teaching, Prophet Hari re-introduces us to the perspective of who God has made us to be.

In Revelation 1:4, we read that The Lord Jesus rules over the kings of the earth and we belong to Him; the Ruler of all these kings. Depending on your theological background, it’s possible that you haven’t been taught about who a believer is and what truly is your identity in Christ. 

If God's only intention was to get us to heaven, then He could have created us in Heaven and kept us there. His original mandate for us is that we reflect, represent and rule on His behalf on the earth! 

Reflect: Adam was made relevant in two realms, one part of Adam was from the dust of the earth and the other part of him was the divine breath of God. God’s desire was for Adam to be the visible image of God on earth.

Represent: There are beings that can be a reflection of God but aren’t necessarily given the authority to represent God. Adam was created to manage the earth realm; He was made the extension of God on the earth. 

Rule: In Scripture we read that God blessed Adam and Eve and commanded them to be fruitful, multiply and have dominion over the earth. When God sends you to a location it is the dominion mandate; that location has a need for you. 

When the Scripture addresses Adam, it is addressing everything in Adam, therefore it also encompasses us. When God made Adam a ruler, everything in Adam became a ruler. As children of God, we are called to reflect and represent the Son of God, rule the earth and re-introduce God to the dimension of the earth. 

When Adam sinned, he compromised his own authority and assignment by obeying the serpent. Satan had no authority on the earth, but Adam gave away a portion of his authority. Sin was the bridge for Satan to have control, dominion and influence on man. Sub-mission is submitting to a mission, they become the extension of the mission and agenda of the serpent. Submission invites authority and rulership.

Adam was not tasked to create images of God, he was the picture and image of God. But sin disqualified him and he fell short of the original glory. God being a respecter of protocols could not reclaim and redeem the earth as God Himself. He had to become the image of Adam without subjecting Himself to the proclivities of the flesh. God didn’t defeat Satan as God, but He came in the image of man as Jesus and defeated him.

Adam fell from his original glory but in Christ’s sacrifice, now this glory has been restored and given to us as a free-gift! That’s why in John 17: 22, we read John saying “I have given them the glory you have given me”. The original mandate was to have dominion, to multiply and subdue the earth, but it was compromised with sin, so God had to introduce salvation. Salvation must lead to dominion; it reinstated the original mandate. We are ambassadors of Christ, to be His express image, representation and extension on the earth. 

Through this word, may your heart and mind be re-calibrated with the God-DNA!
