Every generation is called not merely to know truth, but to live it. Spiritual authority is not proven by what we confess, but by what we consistently walk in. In a season where many are praying for access, God is calling His people to alignment—moving from asking to acting.
Apostle Simbarashe Jakata’s ministration brought clarity and maturity to this year’s theme, making a crucial distinction from the outset: the theme is not dominion itself, but walking in dominion. Dominion, he taught, is already established by God. It is not a request waiting for approval, but a reality already granted. Walking in dominion, however, is the responsibility of believers—it requires understanding, movement and intentional engagement.
He explained that dominion is a noun—it exists. Walking, on the other hand, is a verb—it demands action. Many believers continue to pray for what they already possess, unaware that authority unused remains ineffective. Jesus emphasised this when He taught that faith as small as a mustard seed is sufficient. Faith is not theoretical; it is practical, literal and meant to be exercised.
Drawing from the account of Moses and the burning bush, Apostle Jakata highlighted the connection between understanding and benefit. Moses observed the bush that was burning, but revelation only followed when he chose to draw closer. In the same way, believers cannot benefit from spiritual truths they do not understand. Dominion is God’s part—a pathway already set. Walking in dominion is our response to that pathway.
He further emphasised that this message is not for spiritual infants, but for the mature. Some believers are already walking in dominion, while others remain stuck asking for dominion they already have. Maturity is revealed by how one prays. Many of the things believers continue to ask God for have already been given. Victory is not requested—it is declared.
He referenced patterns in Scripture to reinforce the nature of dominion. Anchoring this point in Judges 15:4–5, he noted how the number 300 repeatedly appears in moments of confrontation and decisive victory—seen in the accounts of Gideon, Samson, Abishai and even during Esther’s time. These moments illustrate that dominion is expressed through action, courage and spiritual intensity, not passive expectation.
In closing, Apostle Jakata delivered a sobering reminder: the enemy recognises a believer’s level of maturity through their prayer life. The language of prayer reveals understanding and understanding determines how authority is exercised. Dominion that is not walked in remains dormant—but dominion that is understood and applied becomes visible, effective and victorious.
