Genesis 1:26 – Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth
In the original creation, Adam didn’t search for significance; he was significant. He was given rule over all His creatures. Was Satan on the scene at creation? Yes. Was he the god of this world at that time? Not at all. Who had the dominion in the garden? Under the authority of God, Adam did, that is until Satan usurped his dominion when Adam and Eve fell. That’s when Satan became the god of this world.
Do you realize that the significant dominion Adam exercised before the Fall has been restored to you as a Christian? That’s part of your inheritance in Christ. Satan has no authority over you, even though he will try to deceive you into believing that he has. Because of your position in Christ, you have authority over him. You are seated with Christ in the heavenlies (Ephesians 2:6).
First John 3:8 says, “The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” The whole plan of God is to restore fallen humanity and establish the kingdom of God where Satan now reigns. This work of God is not just for our personal victory but for all of creation. “For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will also be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God” (Romans 8:19-21).
Prayer:Â Thank You, Lord, that I am part of Your redemptive plan. Show me my responsibility so I may live a life of purpose.
