Genesis 1:26 - 29
ABLE TO LEAD
PMR

Gen 1:26 And 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 fowl of the air, and
over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in
the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the
earth.
Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is
the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

- God’s Consistent Pattern to Lead
- God shared Creation to man to lead it – “have dominion” v.26

i. Even
ii. Entreat
iii. Enjoy

- The KEY: Know who you are

i. God’s Image
ii. To Conform to Christ’s Image (Romans 8:29)
For whom
he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his
Son, that he might the firstborn among many brethren.

- The RESULT: Blessings (v.28) after knowing the Lord blessed them

i. INDIVIDUAL Blessings
ii. INSTANT Blessings
iii. Innumerable Blessings
(the hardest arithmetic)

- KEEP IN MIND

i. Be Faithful: Gain Something
ii. Be Multiplying: Growth
iii. Be Overseeing: Guide your work. Manage it well
