In a sense, Lojban does this too, except the word for "possessing"
in this case is not {ponse} but {ckaji}:

    lo cevni cu ckaji lo ka catni lo ro se finti be cy
    "God possesses authority over all that He created."

    lo flalu cu dunda lo ka catni kei lo rirni
    "The law confers authority upon the parents."
