Sermon Tone Analysis

The dominion mandate is the command of God to Adam, and thus to all mankind, to take dominion over all the earth, to subdue it, and carry out the command of God.

However, the dominion mandate does not justify the abuse of the land or animals.

Instead, Christians are to use what God has given them in the world in a wise and mutually beneficial manner.

It is found in the book of Genesis.

Adam & Eve

“Then God said, ‘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.’

27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28 God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth,'” (Genesis 1:26-28).

a.

This creation mandate also implies responsibilities to which mankind is bound.

As the God-appointed ruler, mankind is prohibited from abusing or wasting those aspects of Earth he controls; since creation ultimately belongs to God, misusing it would be an act of disrespect and irresponsibility.

The creation mandate says that man is sovereign over the rest of the earth, man is obligated to responsibly use what God has placed under his control, and man is expected to reproduce according to God’s intended design.

After Noah’s flood, the dominion mandate was again given by God.

Noah

“And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. 2 The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given.

3 Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant,'” (Genesis 9:1).

b.

The term cultural mandate is far more flexible, implying a wider range of topics than the term creation mandate.

There are three primary versions of the idea of a cultural mandate.

The first is essentially the same as the creation mandate.

The second connects God’s command in Genesis 1:28 with Christ’s Great Commission (Matthew 28:18–20), implying divine authority over all social and political matters.

The third places the Great Commission within the creation mandate, requiring political and social matters to be forcibly brought under Christian control.

Make Disciples of all nations

Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Issac’s Mandate

Genesis 26:1-6 There was another famine in the land in addition to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time.

And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

The LORD appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt.

Live in the land that I tell you about; stay in this land as a foreigner, and I will be with you and bless you.

For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.

I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring, because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My mandate, My commands, My statutes, and My instructions.”

So Isaac settled in Gerar.

Because of The Mandate…… Sowing in a Bad Situation Still Produced Fruit!!!!!!

Genesis 26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.

Children of Israel’s Mandate

Deuteronomy 11:1-8 “Therefore, love the LORD your God and always keep His mandate and His statutes, ordinances, and commands.

You must understand today that it is not your children who experienced or saw the discipline of the LORD your God:

His greatness, strong hand, and outstretched arm; His signs and the works He did in Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land; what He did to Egypt’s army, its horses and chariots, when He made the waters of the Red Sea flow over them as they pursued you, and He destroyed them completely; what He did to you in the wilderness until you reached this place; and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when in the middle of the whole Israelite camp the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing with them.

Your own eyes have seen every great work the LORD has done.

“Keep every command I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to cross into and possess the land you are to inherit,

Mandates Empower Us to Progress and Possess The Prophetic Declarations Over Our Lives!!!!!!

Levitical Priests Mandate

Ezekiel 44:15-16 “But the Levitical priests descended from Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the Israelites went astray from Me, will approach Me to serve Me.

They will stand before Me to offer Me fat and blood.”

This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

“They are the ones who may enter My sanctuary and draw near to My table to serve Me.

They will keep My mandate.

A Mandate Holds Everything Together When Everyone Else Decides to Be Loose!!!!!!!

God uses the Mandate to regulate Proximity and Purposes in the Degrees of the Presence of God!!!

Disciple’s Mandate for Proximity and Purpose

John 8:31-32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

A “Mandate” is translated as a “Charge” in different bible translations!

Apostle Paul’s Apostolic Charge to Timothy and the Body of Christ!!!

The Mannerism of the Mandate

“Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father,” (Colossians 3:17).

“Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever.

Amen,” (1 Peter 4:11).
