Have DOM+MINION!

Have DOM + MINION

Dom here refers to domain, a territory to be governed: a sphere where one can exercise influence. It’s an area of land, in this case, earth; viewed as a kingdom—king’s domain. Earth is a monarchical territory, annexed to heaven. But, because our King—God is in our state capital—heaven, we rule here in His stead as ambassadors. Minion actually means a servant—a slave—someone accepting another’s rule and working hard, having been bought with a price—Crucifixion in this case, and granted salvation.

“Now then we are ambassadors … reconciled to God.”¹

So the merger of both words, give us dominion, simply to mean Heaven’s ambassador: You’re indeed a royalty on earth. Furthermore, the phrase “have dominion” is the charge to exercise the right of ownership and take up the reins over other creatures. So God, in essence had said: “My ambassadors, take charge, and have control….” Yes, Christ is the heir apparent and by propitiating man to God, via adoption—being born-again, you’ve become a co-heir. Therefore, you should rule here as an heir; relishing your heritage.²
