The Original You – Man of Power and Authority!
In the beginning, God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle; over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in His own IMAGE; in the image of God, He created him…”
Men the original you is a reflection of God! You are not a wimp, a failure or a coward. You are MAN – Mature; Ambitious; Natural. So…
Rise Up!
Rise up! Man of God!
Stand up for righteousness;
Stand up for justice.
Rise up! Man of God!
Be the man God made you to be
Don’t stand aside and watch the enemy
Feeds her with deception
Protect her, be her defender.
For you were created in the image
And the likeness of God.
You were given dominion over
The fishes of the sea, over the fowls of the air,
Over every creeping thing, over all the earth.
They are in subjection to you.
You are the commander of the Earth.
You are the ‘replenisher’ of the earth.
But alas, you stand defeated;
Alone, depressed, and ashamed.
Rise up! Man of God!
Stand up and fight!
Reclaim your rights to the tree of life.
Take possession of the kingdom of paradise;
Take control of your dominion.
Rise up! Man of God!
Lift your head high above your enemies;
For your Creator has clothed you in righteousness.
He has given you beauty for ashes;
The oil of joy for mourning;
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
Your Creator has replanted you
Into trees of righteousness
By the rivers of holiness.
Where you will bring forth fruits in your season
And your leaves will never wither.
Prosperity and power are your destiny!
