New Book "Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth" Illuminates God’s Timeless Process of Creation and Personal Transformation Author Kyeme Chacon Reveals a Powerful, Faith-Building Journey Through the Genesis Creation Narrative In a world filled with uncertainty and change, author Kyeme Chacon invites readers into the steady, sovereign rhythm of God’s creation process in his new book, Enthroned Above the Circle of the Earth . More than a commentary on Genesis, this compelling work explores how the same divine process that formed the world continues to shape individual lives today. Through biblical insight, real-life testimony, and thought-provoking reflections, Chacon uncovers the sacred pattern of God’s hand—from chaos to order, from darkness to light, from brokenness to dominion. “This book was born out of transformation,” Chacon writes, “and my goal is to illuminate the pattern—to show that God’s process is still in motion and that your life is being shaped by it.” Whethe...
We’ve all heard the mandate from Genesis 1:
“Be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue, and have dominion.”
But most of us read that like a list of spiritual goals — something to strive for, something to grow into.
What if it isn’t a list at all?
What if it’s our identity?
What if it’s what it actually means to be created in the image of God?
Because when God said, “Let Us make man in Our image,” the very next words were, “…and let them have dominion.”
That wasn’t a separate thought.
That was purpose.
That was intention.
That was design.
We weren’t created to try to be fruitful.
We were created hardwired for it.
Fruitfulness, multiplication, replenishing, subduing, and dominion aren’t instructions —
they’re the natural expression of the God-image inside of us.
They’re who we are.
🌱 The Easy Part Is the Evidence
Let’s be honest — being fruitful, multiplying, and replenishing feel natural to us.
We long to build.
We long to create.
We long to pour out, to expand, to increase, to give life, to make things better than we found them.
Even broken humanity has these instincts.
It’s because the blessing is still stamped on our DNA.
We were made to produce.
Made to flourish.
Made to pour out life.
It’s the law of God written on our hearts —
and it shows up in every dream, every desire, every creative spark inside of us.
These are the parts of the mandate that flow effortlessly, because they align with design.
They agree with who we are.
⚔️ The Hard Part Is Where the War Lives
Subduing is different.
Subduing requires resistance.
It requires confrontation.
It requires order pushing back against chaos.
And because subduing is the exercise of dominion, this is where the enemy focuses all his energy.
The enemy doesn’t waste time trying to stop us from being fruitful —
that’s woven into the core of who we are.
He comes after the part that governs everything else:
our dominion.
If he can subdue us, he gains access to everything that flows naturally out of us.
If he can steal dominion,
he can hijack fruitfulness.
If he can break dominion,
he can distort multiplication.
If he can weaken dominion,
he can drain replenishing.
So he attacks our lives in ways that feel personal, but are actually strategic:
If we’re ruled by pain,
our fruitfulness multiplies dysfunction.
If we’re ruled by addiction,
our fruitfulness fuels bondage.
If we’re ruled by shame,
our fruitfulness multiplies self-destruction.
If we’re ruled by fear,
our fruitfulness multiplies hesitation.
Nothing about who we are stops working —
it just begins working in the wrong direction.
That’s the strategy.
He can’t erase the image, so he tries to redirect it.
🌿 Dominion Rightly Ordered
But when our dominion is restored under Christ, something beautiful happens:
Our fruitfulness blesses.
Our multiplication extends life.
Our replenishing restores others.
Our subduing brings order.
Our dominion reflects God.
That’s what it looks like when the image of God is unhindered within us.
Not suppressed.
Not subdued by trauma or temptation.
Not poisoned by shame or fear.
Not hijacked by addiction or heartbreak.
But liberated.
Aligned.
Restored.
👑 The Real Battle Has Always Been About Dominion
When Adam fell, he didn’t lose the ability to be fruitful —
he lost the authority to subdue.
And once subduing was compromised,
dominion was distorted.
And once dominion was distorted,
all the other natural impulses began operating without guidance.
That’s why humanity can create wonders and chaos with the same hands.
We never lost fruitfulness.
We lost the rule.
The enemy knows this, which is why his attacks target the seat of authority in our lives:
The image of God is a dominion identity.
The blessing of God is a dominion mandate.
The warfare of the enemy is a dominion assault.
The victory of Christ is dominion restoration.
Jesus didn’t come to make us “better people.”
He came to restore us to what we were hardwired to be:
Sons and daughters who rule.
Sons and daughters who bring order.
Sons and daughters who walk in authority.
Sons and daughters who express the image of God through a life that multiplies life.
Dominion isn’t arrogance —
it’s alignment.
Dominion isn’t domination —
it’s stewardship.
Dominion isn’t control —
it’s partnership with the God who reigns.
🔥 We Were Made for This
We were created to be fruitful.
We were created to multiply.
We were created to replenish.
We were created to subdue.
We were created to walk in dominion.
When dominion is restored, everything else falls into place.
Not because we’re trying harder,
but because we’re finally behaving like what we were created to be.
We are, and always have been,
hardwired.
