The central tenet of this discourse posits that Adam, as the first man bestowed with dominion, epitomized the archetype of a billionaire, not in terms of monetary wealth, but in the authority and stewardship granted to him by God. It emphasizes the profound theological assertion that before the advent of financial systems, there existed a divine mandate for humanity to exercise dominion over creation. The message elucidates that true prosperity is not merely the accumulation of wealth but is intrinsically linked to one's God-given assignment and the capacity to manage it effectively. Moreover, the speaker admonishes that a mindset rooted in blessing, rather than a lottery mentality, is essential for believers to actualize their potential and fulfill their divine assignments. In this exploration of Eden Economics, we are called to reflect on our own lives, to recognize the blessings we have, and to take responsibility for stewarding them in accordance with God’s design. The discourse presented in this episode delves into the profound concept of dominion as articulated in the biblical narrative of Genesis, particularly focusing on Genesis 1:28, which proclaims God's directive to humanity to be fruitful, multiply, and exercise dominion over the earth. The speaker, addressing the congregation as 'brothers and sisters', posits that humanity was created not as mere survivors or strugglers, but as governors and stewards endowed with authority from Heaven. The crux of the message emphasizes that true prosperity does not stem from monetary wealth but rather from a mindset anchored in blessing and stewardship. The speaker elucidates that the blessing of God is the empowerment to fulfill one’s earthly assignments, and thus, believers must cultivate a 'blessing mindset' rather than a 'lottery mindset', which seeks unearned wealth without the requisite personal development. This segment sets the stage for a broader exploration of the principles of Eden, wherein the foundations of prosperity are established through responsibility and management of what one possesses.

Takeaways:

1. The concept of dominion is intrinsic to our existence as stewards of God's creation, emphasizing responsibility over mere financial pursuits.
2. True blessing is an empowerment from Heaven that precedes the fulfillment of earthly assignments, illustrating that prosperity is rooted in stewardship.
3. In order to attain true prosperity, one must first cultivate wisdom, discipline, and order, rather than simply seeking monetary gain.
4. The chaotic state of one's life often reflects spiritual negligence rather than external spiritual warfare, highlighting the importance of personal responsibility.
5. Work is fundamentally an act of worship, and excellence in our endeavors reflects our submission to divine authority.
6. To walk in dominion, one must actively manage what is in their hands and close any leaks that hinder growth and prosperity.

Brothers and sisters, let me ask you a question.

Who told you God created man to be broke?

Because when I open Genesis, I don't see lack, I see a God.

I see dominion.

I see resources, I see assignment.

Before there was a salary, there was a blessing.

God blessed them and said, subdue it.

That's Genesis 1:28.

And in Genesis 2, God literally points out gold in the land.

So why are so many believers living like spiritual beggars with kingdom authority in their mouth but disorder in their hands?

In the series, the first billionaire, Adam, we're going to.

We're going back to the beginning.

Not for hype, not for truth, but for truth.

We'll talk about dominion over creation, the riches of Eden, how disobedience makes life expensive.

And we'll confront the real enemy, not just the devil.

Compromise, laziness and disobedience.

This isn't prosperity gimmicks.

This is biblical prosperity, stewardship, wisdom, obedience and legacy.

If you're ready to recover what God intended from the start, let's lean in.

Let's go to Eden and come back with Revelation.

Brothers and sisters, listen to me.

Before there was a bank, before there was a salary, before there was a credit score, before there was a debit order day, there was a garden.

And in that garden, God did not create Adam as a struggler.

God did not create Adam as a beggar.

God did not create Adam as just surviving.

God created Adam as a governor, as a steward, as a man under heaven's authority, with earth under his feet.

So today I'm preaching a message that will offend, demonstration, confuse religious spirits, and heal the mind of the believer.

Adam was the first billionaire because he was the first man given dominion.

Not dollars, dominion.

Because we need to understand something.

Money is not the first proof of prosperity.

Assignment is authority.

Stewardship is.

And if you don't get this, you'll spend your whole life chasing more while ignoring the mandate that brings more.

This is our first message in the series, Dominion over all creation.

Genesis 1, verse 28 says, God blessed them, and he said to them, be fruitful and increase in number.

Fill the earth and subdue it.

Rule.

Did you hear that?

God blessed them, then God commanded them.

So blessing is not for what you work for.

Blessing is what you work from.

Say this with me, I don't work for blessing.

Say I work from blessing.

Our first point for this day, Today's messages.

Blessing comes before building brothers and sisters.

God did not tell Adam, go hustle and maybe I'll bless you.

No.

The Bible says God blessed Them and said meaning the blessing came first.

And I know this is where religious people start sweating because they think if you talk about blessing, you're automatically talking about greedy.

No, brothers and sisters, listen carefully.

Blessing is heaven's empowerment to fulfill Earth's assignment.

It's not just about money.

It's about power.

It's about grace.

It's favor, it's wisdom, it's strength, it's creativity.

It's doors opening that shouldn't open, its protection that shouldn't be there.

Blessing is when your life has help you cannot explain.

Now watch this.

A lot of believers are asking God for financial increase.

But they don't have a blessing mindset.

They have a lottery mindset.

A lottery mindset says, lord, give me money with no maturity but a blessing mindset says, lord, make me a steward so money won't destroy me.

Because if God gives you more without building you, the more becomes a curse.

Some of you don't need money first, you need wisdom first.

You need discipline first, you need order first.

You need healing first.

Because prosperity without character is a trap.

That's why the Bible says in Deuteronomy 8:18, Remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.

So God doesn't just give money, he gives ability.

Ability to produce, ability to build, ability to sustain.

Say this with me, Lord, increase my ability.

Now listen, if you want Eden results, you must accept Eden principles.

And Eden begins with blessing.

But blessing is tied to assignment.

Point 2.

Dominion is a mandate.

It's not a mood.

Now the Bible says, fill the earth and subdue it.

Rule over it.

Subdue means bring under management, bring under control.

Bring order, bring governance.

Now, dominion is not vibes.

Dominion is not manifesting.

Dominion is not you sitting with a vision board and candles like you're summoning something.

Dominion is you waking up and saying, God gave me responsibility, so I'm going to manage what's in my hands.

Let me say it like this.

Dominion is heaven entrusting you with earth.

So here's the real question, brothers and sisters.

If God put Adam in a garden and told him to manage it, why do we want to give us?

Why would God give us wealth while we won't even manage time, health, family, work ethic, spending habits and integrity.

Some believers want big money, but they can't manage small money.

They want big opportunities, but they can't show up on time.

They want big doors, but they keep sleeping through divine appointments.

You don't need a miracle.

Sometimes you need a calendar.

Because prosperity is not mysterious.

It's spiritual and practical.

That's why Psalm 8 says God.

God crowned man with glory and honor and put everything under his feet.

Not so man could brag, but so man could build.

Dominion is leadership.

It is systems.

It is excellence.

It is creativity.

It is productivity.

It is stewardship.

And Eden.

Prosperity is not magic.

It is management.

Say this with me.

Eden is order.

Say this with me.

Eden is stewardship.

Now let me step on some toes.

With love, of course.

If your life is chaotic, if your finances are chaotic, if your marriage is chaotic, if your work is chaotic, don't call it spiritual warfare when it's spiritual negligence.

Y' all don't hear me?

Don't call it spiritual warfare or when it's spiritual negligence.

Yes, the devil is real, but so is irresponsibility.

And God is not funding chaos.

God is not playing in Vegas.

God funds stewardship.

Point 3.

Work was worship before it was warfare.

Now, here is where this gets a little deep.

Many people think work is a curse.

They think the only holy thing is a church service and candles and holy water and holy ash.

No, no, no.

They think Monday to Friday is secular and Sunday is sacred.

But the Bible says in Genesis 2:15, then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and to keep it.

That is, before sin, before the fall, before the curse, meaning work existed before sin.

Work is not the curse.

Toil is the curse.

Work is holy when God is the boss.

Work is worship when your hands are submitted to heaven.

So when you show up with excellence, when you do your job with integrity, when you build systems, when you serve customers, when you manage projects, when you study, when you create, when you turn ti li ti.

You are not just working.

You are exercising dominion.

And I'm telling you right now, some of you are praying for increase.

But God is saying, first, please become excellent.

Because excellence is not perfection.

Excellence is honor.

Excellence is stewardship.

Excellence is being doing the best with what you have.

That is why Colossians 3:23 says, Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.

So your job is not just a paycheck.

It is a platform.

It is a training ground.

It is a dominion field.

Your desk can be an altar, your calendar can be a covenant, and your routine can be revival.

So how to walk in dominion?

Now, brothers and sisters, I'm not just preaching theory.

I'm preaching transformation.

So let me give you three Dominion moves for this week.

1.

Audit.

What's in your hands?

Adam didn't start with the whole earth.

He started with a garden.

So stop despising small beginnings.

What do you have right now?

Is it a job?

Is it a business idea?

Is it a gift?

Is it a skill?

A contact, a home, a laptop, a voice?

A manage that.

Because God multiplies what you manage.

And then two, close the leaks.

Some of you are not broke.

You're leaking.

Leaking through impulsive spending, leaking through laziness, leaking through bad habits, Leaking through pornography and sex and fornication.

And leaking through gossip and leaking through pride.

Leaking through.

I'll do it tomorrow.

A garden doesn't die only from drought.

It can die from holes in the soil.

Build Eden, Order.

Eden is not anxiety.

Eden is not confusion.

Eden is not disorder.

So your life needs a prayer routine, a money plan, a health plan, a family plan, a work excellence plan.

Not because you're trying to impress God, but because you're trying to steward what God blesses.

Now let me speak prophetically and plainly.

God is not against your prosperity.

He is against your pride.

He is against your laziness.

He is against your disobedience.

He is against your chaos.

Because those things destroy people.

And let me tell you this.

If you keep refusing responsibility, don't be shocked when incomplete increase keeps avoiding you.

So if you want much, be faithful with little.

Brothers and sisters, take these questions to prayer.

Question 1.

Where in my life am I asking for increase but refusing order?

2.

What is the garden God gave me that I've been neglecting?

3.

What leak, habit, sin, disorder?

Must I close for dominion to flourish?

Because dominion is not a shout.

Dominion is a lifestyle.

Let us pray.

Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you for creating us in your image and giving us dominion.

Forgive us for thinking like beggars when you called us stewards.

Deliver us from disorder, laziness and compromise.

Give us wisdom to manage what's in our hands.

Teach us discipline, strengthen our work ethic, purify our motors so prosperity will serve purpose.

Lord, let Eden Order return to our homes.

Eden order, Return to our finances.

Eden Order, return to our minds.

Eden order, Return to our careers.

Eden Order, return to our families.

And as we obey you, bless the work of our hands.

Let us be faithful in the little and trust it with much.

We declare.

We will not just pray, we will steward.

We will not just shout.

We will build.

We will not just claim, we will obey in Jesus mighty name.

Amen.

Brothers and sisters, in this message.

Message two.

We're going to be going deeper.

Riches of Eden.

Because I'm going to show you that God literally documented wealth in the Garden.

Gold, river, resources.

So no believer has permission to call prosperity unbiblical.

But hear me.

If you want Eden's riches, you must keep Eden's order.

I'll see you in the next message.
