"Sex is the engine of dominion." — Michael Foster, It's Good To Be A Man

God made man to rule and subdue, to conquer and to cultivate. Man was commanded to plant seeds and to tend to plants. He was given the pattern in Eden and the rest of the planet on which to practice. This blueprint is embedded into the essence of masculinity. Thus, the man plants his seed in the garden of the woman. The seed is nourished and grown in her soil and then springs to life outside of her. He tends to the plant. He deters pests and threats. He provides a place where water and sunlight are readily available. He propagates his plants and bids them be more fruitful. He sees his plants produce more plants. He watches the covenant thrive in his son's sons. This is the rally cry and marching orders of the man of God.

Psalm 22:27-31

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

Jesus fell like a grain of wheat to the ground and was buried. He burst forth to new life and has generously sown His seed among nations and generations who are given the high privilege of walking in His ways: plant seeds. tend plants. repeat; you, your son, and your son's son — world without end, amen.

Hebrews 2:11-15

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Plant seeds.

Tend plants.

Destroy death.

Take dominion.
