From Just Showing Up To Dominion: The Leadership Journey That Transforms Nations

Dear change-makers, leaders of nations, professionals of purpose:

Showing up is not enough – The Mandate is Dominion!

Let me speak to you today with the tone of a preacher, and the clarity of a teacher. It is not enough to show up. It is not enough to participate. Your time of arrival must be marked by right positioning, your involvement crowned by impact and transformation.

Arrival Is Important; Positioning Is Critical

“You shall have no dominion if you are just present and passive.” How often do we settle for attendance - joining the meeting, showing up at the conference, being present at the event - and yet leave nothing changed? The mighty Roman general said, “Veni, vidi, vici” - “I came, I saw, I conquered.” That conquering is the key: coming + seeing + conquering. It is not enough simply to come and see. You must conquer. You must win the territory of your purpose.

In the opening chapters of Scripture we read this divine mandate:

“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion….’” (Genesis 1:26)
“Then God blessed them; and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion….’” (Genesis 1:28)

The language is clear: dominion, multiplication, filling the earth, subduing. This is not mere presence. It is not passive stewardship. It is dynamic, purposeful expansion.

So the first step in our strategic content for impact: Are you rightly positioned to be seen? Are you where you ought to be - not just in seat, but in strategic space?

Dominion = Impact + Transformation

Being seen is one thing; being consequential is another. Influence may open doors, but until it yields measurable impact and visible transformation, it remains shallow. True dominion is demonstrated by the works you reproduce in others, in systems, in communities - not by accolades you collect solo.

Look at these statistics: Organisations that invest in leadership development see up to a 25% boost in business performance and a 20% increase in overall team effectiveness. (eLearning Industry) Yet, at the same time, 77% of organisations report a leadership gap. (eLearning Industry) What does this mean? Too many leaders arrive - not enough conquer. Too many leaders show up - but still the kingdom is not advanced.

Let me share a case study. In one region of a major bank in Africa, the leader made a radical shift. He said: “If you are not building leaders, you are not leading.” What happened? Three years later, his region produced one in every four senior branch managers across the country. (Workforce Group) He didn’t just grow himself; he multiplied others. That is dominion.

Multiplication Is the Scoreboard

Your personal growth is admirable - but insufficient. The measurement of your leadership strategy lies in reproduction. Ask yourself:

• How many people have you developed who now lead?
• How many systems have you built that now operate without you?
• How many communities have you empowered so that transformation continues even when you step away?

In leadership literature, this is called the “multiplier effect” - the idea that when you lead others to lead, you leave a legacy. (PrimeGenesis) A leader who hoards influence diminishes the kingdom; a leader who releases influence multiplies impact.

Integrity Is Non-Negotiable

Because friends, dominion attained through illegality, corruption, oppression - that is not acceptable. The Scriptures condemn it. The mandate is righteous dominion. Earth-filling, subduing, fruitful; but under the character of our Creator. Avoid shortcuts - those will destroy you and your legacy. Let your kingdom-building be upright, transparent, accountable. ‘……He who rules over men must be just, Ruling in the fear of God…’ (2 Sam. 23:3)

Strategy for Leaders: From Presence to Position to Multiplication

Here are actionable steps for you, whether you are in government, business, ministry, or community work:

1. Audit your current position - Are you simply present, or positioned? Where is your sphere of influence? Map it.
2. Define your conquest arena - What territory (market, community, system) has been assigned to you? What transformation do you seek?
3. Develop others intentionally - Mentor, coach, delegate, empower. Your greatest return will be in those you develop.
4. Measure multiplication - Track how many leaders you’ve raised, how many systems you’ve implemented, how many lives transformed.
5. Maintain integrity - Let your progress be built in righteousness, not shortcuts. Dominion built in darkness will collapse.
6. Communicate your legacy vision - Leadership is not a job; it is a covenant to reproduce. Let others buy into the vision of multiplying.
7. Celebrate acceleration - Don’t just applaud individual wins; celebrate reproduced wins. Those are your kingdom increments.

A Story to Relate

A young man in ministry who was invited to lead a young adults’ initiative. He showed up every week, faithful. But for two years nothing moved beyond the weekly meetings. Then he shifted: he identified five young men; he met with each weekly; he coached them in leadership and life; placed them in responsibility; empowered them. Year three, those five became leaders of new groups; the original meeting planted five seedlings which grew into twenty; those twenty replicated into forty. That is multiplication. That is dominion. The presence was constant - but the positioning and the multiplication changed the story.

Call to Action

Leaders, government officials, professionals, change-makers: It’s time to ascend from showing up to being seen. It’s time to move from mere influence to measurable impact. Choose today to:

• Position yourself where you are seen and known.
• Lead with the purpose of reproduction - not retention.
• Build systems that go beyond your personal capacity.
• Commit to integrity - walk the path of righteousness in dominion.
• Measure your multiplication.
• Declare your legacy.
