Bishop David Oyedepo's sermon, "Walking in Total Dominion," was delivered during the evening session of Day 1 of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) 7DG 2025 conference on July 1, 2025. The central theme of the message was that genuine passion for God is the key to experiencing total dominion. 

Key takeaways from the sermon
Passion is the pathway to dominion: Oyedepo emphasized that a believer's passion for God is the primary driver of their dominion. He explained that passion is more potent than anointing or gifts, as it is the "fuel" that keeps a person going.

God backs ordinary men: According to Oyedepo, great achievements in the Kingdom of God are not the result of a person's greatness, but rather a Great God backing ordinary men who are passionate about him.

Dominion is a believer's birthright: The sermon highlighted that dominion was a birthright of humanity, which was restored through the "Last Adam," Jesus Christ. This means believers are meant to exercise dominion over their territory, spiritually and in all other areas of their lives.

A heart check is necessary: Oyedepo challenged the audience to examine their hearts and determine if their passion was for God or for things. The pursuit of God, he said, is a conscious choice, not a gift.

Financial dominion is tied to passion: The message connected spiritual dominion with financial dominion. Oyedepo taught that financial dominion is about ruling over resources for God's purpose, a concept tied to the covenant of giving and receiving.
