When a beleiver is born again, there are some things that they must first be exposed to in order to be properly built up. There are cases when a believer becomes born again and in a very short while the believer his assigned Major duties to handle in the ministry without ascertaining if the believer has grown spiritually in order to manage that duty in a way that pleases God. There has to be room for daily and intensive spiritual Growth because growth requires consistency and it takes time in order to carefully, appropriately and effectively transform the person experiencing it. Most people have sincere revelations of being called into the ministry and doing great exploits, but instead of sitting down to ensure that they grow spiritually to the level of being able to handle such an annointing. They just jump into the ministry with strong conviction and maybe end up opening a church, and at the end of the day, they end up being frustrated because they didn't take their time to grow spiritually in the secret place.
Mathew 6 vs 33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
You have to seek the face of God diligently before you make any Major decision in life. Some of us believers might feel we already have this annointing. That when we stand to pray, that out of 10 people that are ill, 2 end up being healed and you feel like "Yeah" i have got it, i can proceed with this, so what happens to the other 8? My brother or sister, Please humble yourself sit down and seek God's face. Let daily spiritual growth be our utmost priority.
In Order for a beleiver to grow, they must be open to the following ministries.
1) The ministry of Prayer
2) The ministry of the person of the holyspirit
3) The ministry of the Word of God
Dominion is a language of Governance. It means to take charge, to legislate, to have stewardship.

Genesis 1 vs 26
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.
The dominion that God speaks about in the bible portion above has nothing to do with outshining people, it has everything to do with stewardship. If u notice, in the scripture above, man was not designed to dominate man, that's an error.
WHAT IS THE KEY TO CARRYING OUT THE DOMINION MANDATE?
Romans 5 vs 17
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
The two requirements in order to carry out the Dominion Mandate are:
1) The Gift of Righteousness.
2) Abundance of Grace.
It is important to note that the righteousness of God is a gift. There is a gift of righteousness and there is a fruit of righteousness. It is only the gift of righteousness that authorizes the holyspirit to come upon you.
In God's Original plan, the first thing that must happen to you is:
1) your natural birth ( to be born of a woman )
2) Rebirth ( An impartation of the nature and the image of Christ in You)
###1 Peter 1:23
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
The foundation of restructuring of the dominion mandate starts with Jesus.
3) Discipleship (This is the way believers are trained to reign)
