Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

The President and CEO of Wal-Mart is Douglas McMillon. Let’s say John Brown desires to build and be a General Manager of a Wal-Mart franchise in South Florida. The Wal-Mart is opened, however, the Wal-Mart has damaged merchandise, a lack of security, and poor customer service. If a customer wanted to complain about everything that’s going on at John Brown’s Wal-Mart, who would be at fault? The answer would be John Brown. Although, Douglas McMillon is the CEO of Wal-Mart, it’s the responsibility of John Brown to make sure his store has good merchandise, great security, and great customer service.

The same way Douglas McMillon is not responsible for the events that occur at the South Florida Wal-Mart is the same way God is not responsible for the events that occur in the world. God gave us dominion over the world. We are the franchise owners of this world. Every event (good or bad) that occurs in this world is a result of what we allowed. All the wars, diseases, and violence we see are a result of our lack of action. It’s not God’s fault.

God gave us spiritual authority to decree whatever we desire, to speak life, and authority over all the power of the enemy (Job 22:28; Prov. 18:21; Luke 10:19). If we want to see a better world, we need to take spiritual action. God is the CEO of this world, but we have to manage this world to reflect heaven’s desires.
