YOU ARE DESIGNED TO DOMINATE

Every manufacturer designs his product with the right components, engineered to fulfill the function that the product is created to perform. In essence, the purpose of the product dictates the mechanical and engineering components required to fulfill the manufacturer’s intent. Its “circuits” are right for the job.

This principle holds true for all creation, including human beings. The Creator caused to be inherent in each created entity – including the apex of His creation, mankind – everything it needs to fulfill its original purpose. Just as the fish is destined to swim, the birds are destined to fly, and seeds are destined to be planted, grow into a tree and produce fruits without deviating from their purpose. The original purpose for mankind, defined and established by the Creator, was to “rule (“have dominion”)…over all the earth.” Since the word “dominion” in this case means to reign and rule, the Creator wired all humans with the capacity and natural ability to lead.

We can conclude that human beings are wired for leadership. Humanity has the natural circuitry to have dominion over its environment. The greatest evidence of what a product can do or is capable of is determined by the demands made on it by the one who made it. Therefore, God’s requirement that we dominate is evidence that the ability to lead is inherent in every human spirit. This is the leadership spirit.
