God ordained man for dominion on the earth Gen. 1:28. Our emphasis this month has been dominion over sickness and disease. This is vital because sickness and disease are devourers, out to destroy the blessing of God in the believer’s life Lk. 8:43-45; Job 33:21-25. Remember, the blessing of God makes for life on the earth, when it is devoured man becomes robbed of his destiny. Therefore, sickness and disease are enemies of man and must be dwelt with to fulfil destiny. This is why among others, God ordained the believer, particularly in these last days to walk in dominion over sickness and disease Psa. 110:1-3; Dan. 7:25-27.
