The Director of Youth Affairs, Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samson O. Gbuyiro has said taking dominion is the right of every believer and that is why power is needed to take dominion.

He noted that after the fall of man, every step to fulfill destiny is always being questioned, adding that dominion is not negotiable for a child of God because God Himself commissioned man to exercise dominion after creation.

Pastor Gbuyiro stated this while ministering on the topic "Power for Dominion" taking his text from  Genesis 1:27-28 at the 2022 Odo Owa Annual Revival holding at Babalola Mountain, Odo Owa, Kwara State.

According to him, man was divinely commissioned to have dominion because it expresses unhindered access to God's provisions to fulfill His purpose and destiny on earth. 

The Cleric said; "until you know that any step taken towards fulfillment of God's purpose for your life will be questioned and challenged, you won't see the need for power. The man God created in His own image should command obedience of every creature and exercise dominion over them as God's image in such that nothing interrupts God's purpose for his life."

Pastor Gbuyiro further stated that it takes power for one to perform his or her purpose on earth, citing the example of Mary the mother of Jesus whom the Spirit of God overshadowed with power. 

Citing Mark chapter 11 verse 27 to 28, Pastor Gbuyiro concluded that; "Jesus was questioned and challenged when He performed God's purpose in ministry and it was authority and power He used that they questioned. Power brings performance and accomplishment. To accomplish God's purpose unhindered, you need power. To be in charge without being questioned, you need power."
