Dominion and our reality

Dear Father,

When You gave us dominion and power, were there any restrictions? Perhaps it is unrealistic to speak of restrictions when we have yet to manifest the power we have been given, much less exhaust it. Although I speak not of restrictions in capacity, but in function: first, in dealing with situations where dominion can be exercised, before considering how much of it can be applied.

One look at the world and it is evident: we do not have so much under our control: sicknesses, natural disasters, suffering, death from viruses, poverty, and so on. This raises questions about the dominion You said was ours. Strangely, we all live within this gap--the contrast between Your intention and our reality, worsened by our ignorance.

I came across a scripture which says, “In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.” We are often taught how to pray, yet rarely taught how to exercise dominion. We do not live as though we are aware that our mandate of dominion has no functional limit. So, we live as paupers, unaware of our crowns as kings, content with life however it presents itself.

Father, I cannot exhaust the subject of dominion in one letter, but this much I know: I may not change the entire world, but I will exercise dominion over my sphere, beginning with the occurrences in my own life.

Dear Father,

I've seen people get worked up about their supposed lateness in finding a suitable spouse; students who feel disappointed after not being admitted into a higher institution at a certain time; and professionals who would not rest until they have secured a role. Often, our external expressions of urgency toward achieving a certain goal, and the subsequent disappointments, are reflections of our inward expectations tied to time.

I wonder, still, why we feel pressed about every other area of life, yet remain passive about our relationship with You. Meanwhile, when the Scripture speaks of urgency, it rarely speaks of things. It says, “Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.”

The “while” in this passage points to an appointed time. But how often do we take into consideration the need to pursue a relationship with You as though there comes a time when You may no longer be found? Why do our priorities lean so heavily toward things, as though our greatest treasures are found in them?

Lately, there has been pressure around every other thing except what truly matters. Father, how did we get here? One of the clearest revelations of our spiritual state can be found in our priorities.

Dear Father,

I've come to realize that judging Christianity as false because of the existence of false prophets is a trait of biblical ignorance--their existence is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. The Scripture says: “If any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders...”

I'm often disturbed when I see individuals online posing as prophets, yet speaking and acting in ways that contradict Christ’s very nature. As a result, the comment sections of such posts are often filled with people questioning the validity of Christianity and even Your existence. Are they being reasonable, or simply ignorant?

Previously, I directed my prayers toward the exposure of false prophets, but was I also acting from a place of ignorance? While such prayers are not entirely out of place, I believe the greater focus should be on the enlightenment of Christians.

False prophets are only as successful as the degree to which we, as Christians, remain ignorant. If we truly knew “The Way,” we would not fall victim to deceit. If we understood that deception would arise, we would not judge truth by the existence of counterfeits. Perhaps the first pointer to the success of false prophets lies in the ignorance of Your own children.

Dear Father,

Several times, I have had dreams where, by my hand, You opened deaf ears and blind eyes. Whenever I awake, I cannot help but think, “You think too highly of me.” Recently, I joined a meeting organized by a man through whose ministration You opened sixty-seven deaf ears. I listened to him intently and with anticipation for the answer to one question: “How?”

This is one of the closest I have been to a man who trusts You for miracles as easily as I trust You to inspire our daily letters. I am aware that the difference in our levels of trust is first found in our priorities, and then in the price we are willing to pay. Still, I needed to know: what price was paid to attain those results?

I remembered the part of Scripture where Jesus said, “This kind goeth not out except by prayer and fasting.” When this man spoke, I realized he was one man who desired a height in this Kingdom, knew the cost, and paid the price. He spoke about how often he fasted and how he prayed for a minimum of three hours daily. And as he spoke, I realized again that results in this Kingdom are not accidental; they often accrue to those willing to pay the price.

Father, I do not just want to talk and write about Your goodness; I also desire to demonstrate Your power--for the compelling effect that mastery of both will have. And I wonder: can I pay the price?

Dear Father,

There are people who confidently put into action the assignments You have set before them without refrain, while there are others who take time insisting on successful outcomes before ever putting forward a step.

Like Gideon, when You sent him on an assignment and promised to save Israel by his hand, he said: “If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.” He placed two tests before You before responding to the call.

Every one of us is unique, even in the expression of our faith, especially regarding difficult assignments; and in Your mercy, You assured him of success. While there is wisdom in outcome checks, the downside is this: not all outcomes may lead to success. Sometimes, the true success lies in the lessons attained from the failures we so honorably try to prevent.

I pondered how hesitation, when prolonged, causes the burden of the assignment to slowly fade. I thought about the assignments orchestrated not to bring us our desired crowns, but rather to shape us into vessels fit to carry those crowns. How long have we refrained in doubt and fear, seeking successful outcomes before ever taking a step?

Dear Father,

I have heard of people who, at the initial stage of building their vision, received support from others. Yet, in many cases, the men whose callings, visions, and inventions eventually achieved great or global recognition once had to run alone. Today, I pondered the blessing of multiplication and what it entails, and more significantly, the fact that it often begins with what seems negligible.

I came across what You said in Scripture: “Look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him, he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.” Is this not the subtle mystery of multiplication? How can we tell that something in its singular form will one day rise beyond measure? How do we know that, in obeying Your call to come as one, we would one day become a multitude? This illustration reveals a truth: the blessing of multiplication first begins with the courage to obey.

There is a period that exists between our obedience and Your multiplication, where it seems as though we are thrown into a pool of doubt, surrounded by naysayers: voices that arise not only externally but also from within our own minds. In such moments, our obedience would, even from a logical perspective, be classified as foolishness.

For instance, how do we explain the dream of a flying machine to a world that only knows camels? Or multiplication to a man who has never experienced it? It seems to me, then, that the blessing of multiplication requires more than the initial call to come as one.

Dear Father,

There is a name often used for those whose dealings with others consistently reflect lack of empathy and manipulative tendencies: we call them narcissists. It is often easy to identify a narcissist when we are aware of the related traits; even so, we are sometimes too quick to label people as such. Yet, we have our own shortcomings.

Although none of us is entirely free from these traits, what distinguishes narcissism is its extreme and persistent expression. But should we raise alarms over extremes and remain silent about subtler expressions, when people are still affected? Unfair, indirect, or deceptive ways of influencing people, usually to serve our own interests is described as manipulation.

Paul understood this when he said, “But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do would not seem forced but would be voluntary.” I reflected on related situations: times when people’s love, and their inability to say no to us, have led them to do favors they would rather not do. When we share just enough distress to make someone feel responsible to fix it; when we withhold communication so the other person feels uneasy or obligated to reach out; when we praise someone mainly to influence their decision; when we do favors to create an unspoken and dangerous debt; and so on.

How often do people suffer from our quiet, subtle, seemingly harmless acts of manipulation?

13/05/2026

Dear Father,

My heart is grieved whenever I hear about Your children who continually engage in sinful acts while still publicly proclaiming Your Name. Even more troubling is that this questionable behavior affects not just them, but also the testimony of every believer who genuinely calls on Your Name. So I ponder: what could be the problem that causes a number of believers to continually entertain sin without remorse? Could it be a misunderstanding of grace--or a convenient misuse of it?

Today, I read a passage which says: “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions…” If Your grace is misunderstood, then it is taught from an unbalanced perspective. It is not merely a concept that begins and ends with forgiveness and the thorough cleansing of sin, but also one that both demands and enables a transformed life.

This reveals that we are not truly partakers of Your grace if, under its cover, we continually entertain sin, because grace itself teaches us to say “No” to sin. What then is the value of grace if it leaves a man unchanged? What good is it to confess grace if our lives deny its power?

Perhaps the concept is misunderstood, or perhaps it is not. Still, I wonder, Father: why do those who call on Your Name still make peace with the very thing Your grace came to destroy?
