Genesis 1:26 - 28
“And God said, Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness:” Why did God create
these beautiful creatures called man? It is
written in the next statement,“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...”
• same company man

authority, and dominion, and management, and
leadership

permission to release ability that is
trapped on the inside

released
• “And God blessed them, and say…”
• Because to bless means to identify and
to release ability

Genesis 2:4-7,
“These are the generations of the heavens
and of the earth when they were created, in the
day that the Lord God made the earth and the
heavens, And every plant of the field before it
was in the earth, and every herb of the field
before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused
it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a
man to till the ground. But there went up a mist
from the earth, and watered the whole face of
the ground. And the Lord God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul.”
• “because God did not allow rain,”
• He did not want anything to grow
• verse 5
• no man to work the ground.
• “work”
↦“to manage, to create order, to cultivate,
to produce productivity.”

creation.

resources on earth.

do have, you will lose what you have
• Mismanagement will always produce poverty;
good management will always attract prosperity
• good management and effective management
will always produce more.
