Kingdom 101: Man Shall Manage Earth, It's the King's Law
It was by the Lord God's design and intention that we have dominion over this planet called Earth. This means that we are the managers, supervisors, rulers, governors, leaders and stewards of this planet. Whatever happens here is our responsibility. The Lord God will hold us accountable for our stewardship. Our authority in this realm is so complete that the Lord God Himself will not violate it. That is a bold statement! My question to you is as follows: Isn't the Lord God sovereign and can't He do whatever He desires? In theory that is correct, but as the word of an earthly king is law and cannot be reversed, so the word of the King of the universe is law and cannot change.
In the book of Genesis we have already seen that the Lord God established the law that man was granted absolute responsibility for the earthly realm. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Remember, Adam the man was filled with the Spirit of his Creator and Source. Keep in mind, the two of the important words ever spoken by the Creator are locked away in this verse. They establish the nature of the relationship God desired with the earthly realm. The words are "let them". By these words the Lord God established a law which gives only mankind the legal authority to exercise dominion and control over planet earth. I find it very interesting that the Lord God didn't say "let Us" but rather "let them". If He would have said "let Us", He would have provided access by Himself to planet earth anytime, without violating His Word and thus He would be co-ruler with man on earth. But by stating "let them", He locked Himself out of planet earth as a spirit being without a body. Do you have a clearer picture of the Lord God's original plan?
Why is this so important to understand? Because the Lord God is a Spirit and when He speaks, His Words become law. He created the world with His Words. His Words are absolute eternal truth. He cannot lie. His integrity will not permit Him to violate or break His Word; therefore, whatever He speaks becomes law even unto God. He will never break His Word nor violate His principles.
God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
