tactics.  HIS  leadership  style  which  featured  personal

            example  and  service  to  others  inspired  a  multitude  to
            willingly grant HIM dominion over their lives.


            Likewise, we all have areas of influence through which
            we  are  to  operate,  individually  and  collectively  as  the

            Church  Body.  Like  JESUS,  and  under  HIS  Lordship,  we
            must take dominion over our areas of influence in order

            to advance GOD’s Kingdom Agenda here on earth.  As
            Christians, we are HIS representatives and therefore our
            thoughts, words and deeds must reflect HIM. This is the

            personal  example  we  must  set  in  order  to  establish
            dominion - in order to inspire others to willingly grant

            dominion over their lives to our LORD JESUS.  Moreover,
            regarding “racial” issues; if we do not talk, think, and live

            the truth of the Great Reconciliation, how can we expect
            the world to do so? We cannot lead the world in unity

            if  the  Church  as  a  whole  is  not  together,  in  one
            accord,  standing  on  the  sufficiency  of  CHRIST  for

            complete and lasting reconciliation.

            JESUS  is  not  calling  white  to  be  black  or  black  to  be

            white, but both to be Biblical.

            Understanding  Authority  and  Power  When  Taking

            Dominion – Many will understandably think that taking
            dominion means exercising the power of control.  From
