GRACE TO INHERIT THE FIVE-FOLD BLESSING

Scripture:

And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26-28

Revelation:

Genesis 1:28 shows us God’s command and intent for marriage. We were created to rule and reign. A five-fold blessing pronounced in the beginning shows us our original purpose and we can still walk in that blessing in our marriages today.

Prayer:

Gracious Heavenly Father, thank you for Grace to Inherit the Five-fold Blessing. Thank you for making us one and causing us to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion. In the Name of Jesus! Amen.

Action:

·       Exercise your dominion and your five-fold blessing daily! Look for and act on ways to be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have dominion.

·       Review the following Blessing and pray it daily for your marriage and family. Discuss how to apply:
