Intimacy with God: The Secret of Dominion

 When God created man and placed him in the Garden of Eden, God gave him an instruction to have dominion over all his creation. Man there, had all needed to dominate the Earth. He lost it when he disobeyed God and fell from Grace. The purpose of Christ death was to restore God's original plan. Every man that accepts Jesus as Lord and saviour receives what it takes to dominate the earth.
The value of intimacy can be seen in Jeremiah’s encounter in the potter's house. Without clay, the potter cannot achieve his desire of creating a beautifully designed piece of pottery. The clay on the other hand is useless all by itself; it is ordinary dirt and thus unattractive in its raw state until a potter decides to make use of it to achieve a design he has in mind. The more time and effort a potter puts into his creation, the greater the value that will be placed on it. The implication of this therefore is that for there to be a wonderful, beautiful and attractive creation of the potter, there has to be contact between the potter and the clay. This contact between the potter and the clay that brings about a wonderful creation of art can be described as INTIMACY.
       Spending quality time with God on a consistent basis is the only requirement for you to turn up eventually as a complete, well packaged, attractive and useful masterpiece. The more time you spend in divine intimacy the better you become; for it is in intimacy that God moulds you into his purpose for your life.
       God is the potter and we are the clay, you cannot create yourself, neither can you give form to your dreams and desires, you need God to succeed and bring beauty to your life. No matter how badly damaged or marred your life might be if you remain in constant intimacy with God, he will mould your life into his purpose, thus giving it a meaning. Don't break out of the reach of the potter. As long as you submit yourself to the master's will ,knowing that you cannot make anything good out of your life all by yourself, he will certainly bring out the best in you.
      The only way you can rule, dominate and succeed without limit is by maintaining contact with the master and owner of your life.
      By understanding and remembering let us proceed without our life having a meaningful purpose in our heart. Never forget He is the potter, you are the clay, He has a great picture of you already in his mind, He can see your beautiful end right from your rough beginning and he shapes and moulds you day by day into His will.
