Insights from Apostle Joshua Selman’s New Sermon | Koinonia | December 15, 2025
The Christian faith is not merely about survival, church attendance, or religious activity. It is a call to dominion living a life of victory, authority, and purpose through Christ. In the newly released sermon titled “Dominion Checklist”, Apostle Joshua Selman delivers a timely and deeply insightful teaching that outlines the spiritual principles every believer must understand to walk in consistent victory and accurately reveal Jesus to their world.
This message, delivered at Koinonia on December 15, 2025, presents a structured framework of Kingdom mysteries that govern spiritual growth, stability, and influence. Dominion, as emphasized in this teaching, is not accidental; it is the product of alignment with divine truths, spiritual laws, and intentional obedience.
Below is a comprehensive breakdown of the Dominion Checklist, explained in a way that is practical, scriptural, and applicable to everyday Christian living.
Life is not fair by default; you make it fair by engaging the mysteries of the Kingdom.
Understanding Dominion in the Kingdom of God
Dominion is the God given ability to rule, influence, and represent Heaven effectively on earth. From creation, God entrusted humanity with authority (Genesis 1:26), and through Christ, believers are restored to that position of spiritual governance.
However, dominion does not manifest automatically. It is sustained by knowledge, character, spiritual intelligence, and obedience to Kingdom principles. Apostle Joshua Selman emphasizes that ignorance is one of the greatest enemies of dominion, and understanding the mysteries of the Kingdom is essential for believers who desire lasting impact.
1. The Supremacy of the Word and the Power of Value
At the heart of dominion is the Word of God. The Word is the constitution of the Kingdom and the highest authority in the life of a believer. Every mystery, promise, and spiritual reality is accessed and sustained through Scripture.
Kingdom mysteries are compared to treasures, each carrying a weight of glory. How much dominion you walk in is often a reflection of the value you place on God’s Word. When the Word becomes your final reference above emotions, opinions, and circumstances, stability and clarity follow.
2. The Power of Prayer
Prayer is not just a tool for asking; it is a system for transformation. One of the core truths highlighted in the Dominion Checklist is that prayer changes the believer before it changes the situation.
Through prayer, believers gain spiritual sensitivity, discern God’s will, and align their desires with divine purpose. A strong prayer life strengthens faith, sharpens spiritual perception, and keeps believers spiritually alert in every season.
3. Vision, Purpose, and Destiny
Vision is a foundational requirement for dominion. Without vision, life becomes reactive instead of intentional. Purpose defines direction, and destiny gives meaning to endurance and sacrifice.
Understanding why you exist and how your life fits into God’s eternal agenda is critical. Dominion thrives where clarity of assignment exists.
4. The Power of Belief Systems
A believer’s belief system determines their spiritual experience. What you truly believe beyond what you say shapes your actions, decisions, and expectations.
Apostle Selman emphasizes that belief systems must be Word compliant. If your thinking contradicts Scripture, dominion will be limited. Transformation begins with renewing the mind until truth replaces fear, doubt, and limitation.
5. Living by Faith
Faith is trusting God beyond visible results. True faith is revealed during seasons of delay, uncertainty, and pressure.
Living by faith means anchoring your confidence in God’s character, not circumstances. Dominion is sustained when believers remain steadfast even when outcomes are not immediately visible.
6. The Power of Decisions and Choices
Destiny is shaped by decisions. Every major outcome in life is connected to a choice either made intentionally or avoided.
Spiritual maturity is demonstrated in the ability to make wise, timely, and Word-aligned decisions. Dominion is preserved when obedience is chosen over convenience.
7. Value Creation and Productivity
Value is your capacity to solve problems, while productivity is refining that value and delivering it with excellence.
God rewards impact, not activity. Dominion expands when believers develop their gifts, acquire skills, and consistently provide solutions that bless others and glorify God.
8. The Power of Mentorship
Relationships are vehicles of destiny. Who you follow can define what follows you.
Mentorship provides wisdom, correction, perspective, and acceleration. God often uses seasoned voices to preserve believers from costly mistakes and help them grow efficiently.
9. Understanding Times and Seasons
Not every instruction applies to every season. Spiritual intelligence includes discerning timing.
Dominion requires engaging prophecy with wisdom, applying relevant strategies, and responding appropriately to divine seasons. Discernment prevents unnecessary struggles and delays.
10. Managing Crises and Challenges
Challenges are inevitable, but dominion is revealed in how crises are handled.
Pressure does not destroy believers it reveals spiritual maturity. Those who respond with faith, wisdom, and emotional stability retain victory even in adversity.
11. Understanding God’s Financial Systems
Kingdom prosperity operates on a balance of spiritual and practical laws. Prayer alone is not sufficient, and labor without alignment is incomplete.
Stewardship, integrity, diligence, generosity, and obedience form the foundation of God’s financial system. Dominion in finances flows from understanding and applying these principles.
12. The Principles of Spiritual Warfare
Warfare is not about fighting for victory but enforcing the victory already secured in Christ.
Believers walk in dominion when they understand spiritual authority, resist the enemy, and stand confidently in Christ’s finished work.
13. The Power of Praise and Thanksgiving
Praise and thanksgiving are powerful spiritual weapons. They silence anxiety, dismantle fear, and invite God’s presence.
A grateful believer remains spiritually buoyant and emotionally stable, even during difficult seasons.
14. Strategic Relationships
Relationships are currencies that can open doors money cannot open.
God often answers prayers through people. Dominion grows when relationships are built intentionally, honorably, and wisely.
15. Kingdom Service
Kingdom service is investing your time, energy, and resources into God’s agenda.
Those who serve God’s purposes consistently attract divine favor, spiritual authority, and supernatural support.
16. The Value of Impartation
Impartation is the transfer of spiritual grace. Growth is accelerated not only by knowledge but by the quality of spiritual endowments upon a believer’s life.
God uses impartation to unlock dimensions, empower assignments, and release grace for new levels.
17. The Prophetic Advantage
The prophetic provides foresight, direction, and preparation.
Believers who value prophetic insight navigate life with clarity, avoid unnecessary losses, and align accurately with God’s plans.
18. The Law of Love
Love is the highest law of the Kingdom. Knowledge without love produces pride, but love produces true transformation.
The ultimate evidence of dominion is not power or revelation alone, but Christlike love expressed through character and conduct.
Conclusion: Dominion Is a Product of Alignment
The Dominion Checklist is a spiritual framework for believers who desire consistency, influence, and lasting victory. Dominion is not accidental; it is the result of alignment with Kingdom principles, obedience to God’s Word, and intentional spiritual growth.
As believers embrace these truths, they grow in authority, maturity, and impact accurately revealing Jesus Christ in every sphere of life.
