SHALOM greetings, Cherished one. When God told the man to dominate, He was telling him to INFLUENCE the earth. In this life, either you are the influencer or the influenced. *People and systems can be influenced either positively or negatively. But God expects His children to influence the world positively.* To influence means to have an effect on someone or something. You can have a positive effect on others using your creative ability, skills, wisdom, gifts, talents or office.
As a child of God, your ability to influence positively stem from your identity in Christ as the light of the world; because darkness will try every means to manipulate you. (Matthew 12:35). What good treasures do you find in you to influence your world positively? The world is already corrupt and darkened. *The world needs more incorrupt minds to mend things. The world needs more lights to brighten its course.* In our focal text, the people felt the influence of the Disciples who have been turning the world “upside-down”.
To the Jews, the disciples were bringing disorder. But they were truly influencing their world for Jesus Christ (Acts 17:7). What positive things are you bringing on board to help the progress of others? As a born again in Christ, you are the light of the world. Darkness should not influence you. *Choose to be a positive influencer in the midst of a crooked generation. It is within your nature to shine brighter over every form of darkness to the glory of God.* In our Kingdom, we do not bow or cower to darkness but we shine over it. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
