THE SPIRIT OF RADAH

THE SPIRIT OF “RADAH”

By Nelson Semanu & Elizabeth Boandoh-Korkor (Bestselling Authors, FINANCIAL EVANGELISM)

As humans, it is important to understand the stuff of which we are made of. We were created in the image of God or His likeness in order to manifest His divine nature and attributes.

But it is very vital to understand the concept of the image of God. The word image, “selem” in Hebrew means in the sense of His essential nature and attributes. In sum, the image of God represents dominion or rulership, and that explains why God instructed man to rule over His creation.

So, in the instruction, “let them have dominion…”, God was calling on each one of us to exert our authority on earth and over everything that happens thereon. He had put us in charge, and everyone who confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior today, has that authority over the earth and its occurrences.

Again, the word dominion or RADAH (as used in Genesis 1:26) in (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, # H7287) means to prevail against, to have dominion, to reign, or to rule.

The understanding and appreciation of these two words, “selem” and “radah” are vital because, they go a long way to determine our approach towards the things that happen to us on earth.

From the above, we see clearly that the purpose of mankind is to exert influence over the earth and all its circumstances. Specifically, we are supposed to rule and oversee the affairs of this life.

We were created to dominate in every sphere of life. We oversee the earth and we are supposed to determine what happens on it at any point in time. We are not supposed to be under the mercy of the earth or its circumstances!

 Specifically, as humans, we are not supposed to be intimidated by SICKNESSES, DISEASES, POVERTY or even DEATH!

These things are supposed to submit to us!

The spirit of rulership or dominion (RADAH) inherent in us empowers us to subjugate, that is, to PREVAIL AGAINST OR RULE OVER THE THREATS OF LIFE.

We were designed by our Creator to dominate any situation that seeks to frustrate or short circuit the manifestation of our destiny on planet earth.

We are not ‘aliens’ here. We are the original inhabitants and anything that seeks to mess up with our enjoyment must surrender!

Remember, we’ve got the power!
