God is a God of systems. Structures. Principles. This divinely systemic nature of God helps to regulate the entire universe, nothing missing, nothing broken, or we will all be dead in a few seconds.
He upholds all things by the word of His power. Everything exists in a delicate balance, yet entirely firm and solid. You couldn’t look far before you see the hand of the Lord and His wisdom dotting the horizon of humanity.
Financial structure of this planet is in the hands of the Lord. That is why He said He is the one that gives power to get wealth. Reward systems and structures are in the hand of the Lord and God ensures that every man reaps what he sows. That is why the Bible says God will not forget your labour of love.
Now to my emphasis today:
1Sa 2:8 (MSG)
He puts poor people on their feet again; he rekindles burned-out lives with fresh hope, RESTORING DIGNITY AND RESPECT TO THEIR LIVES— a place in the sun! For THE VERY STRUCTURES of earth are GOD’s; he has laid out his operations on a firm foundation.
You have gone through broken relationships. You have been jilted. You have been disappointed. You have been frustrated. You have been used and dumped. Whatever might have happened to you is not strong enough to thwart you, because today, God is restoring dignity and respect back into your life.
How am I so sure God is going to do that? The very structure of the earth belongs to God, and that structure can be tweaked for your advantage such that your dignity and respect which you think have been eroded are easily restored by God Himself.
The structures of this earth begin to favour you from today in Jesus name.
Fresh hope is being injected into your life right now and every area where it seems dark and out, light is shining forth, bring you into a place of light and explicit knowledge of God and His marital plans for your life.
Remain blessed today!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
My dignity is restored. I receive full restoration.

Pray for restoration.

Man is a curious being. Perhaps, extremely curious. Man doesn’t like being oblivious. And this has driven man to quests for knowledge, inventions, and technological advancements.
On the flip side, it has also driven man into the supernatural. Man has studied all available stuff to be studied, from science to psychology and to paranormal terrains. The occult is not exempt.
A man wants to know, period.
As you come to know the Lord, this thirst doesn’t go away. You simply want to know. And the good news is that God is not denying you from knowing. As a matter of fact, He wants you to know the lover more than you want to know. It’s actually the devil that doesn’t want you to know a thing.
However, the first order of what to know is God Himself. It is in your quest and pursuit to know God that you begin to know yourself and as a consequence, you come into the discovery of God’s purpose and intent for your life in terms of your marital choice.
God wants you to know the right person to marry. He doesn’t want you to miss it in any way! It is sure not God’s plan for you to jump experimentally from one person to another searching for love that was never lost. He wants to lead you! The question is, will you be led?
Jer 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Here, God gives you the all-clear-access to ask Him!
I love how the Message Translation put it.
Jer 33:3 (MSG) ‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that YOU COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT ON YOUR OWN.’
One of the things you might never be able to figure out on your own is who to get married to. Ask Him, for He promises to answer you and show you this.
Rather than follow your emotions and dabble into a relationship whose story will touch the heart later, patiently follow God and let Him show you His will.
That is where peace is.
That is where favour is.
May God grant you more understanding in Jesus name!
This is me, Pastor Dunamis, saying “I love you, and I’m praying for you, even as you read!

David was very much loved of God. He was simply God’s favorite. Just as today, we are all God’s favorites through the death and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
However, he fumbled along the way. From adultery, he descended so fast on the lane of iniquity, fueled by lust of the eyes and of the flesh. From the cage of adultery, he dug further into the dungeon of a murderous act.
In one swoop of his signature, he exterminated the life of one of his most loyal men, in a desperate bid to cover up a pregnancy.
And after all of that, our God’s man gathered enough temerity to convert the widow of the man he murdered into his harem. This did not go down well with God.
He had to be confronted, because his present deception will put him into eternal jeopardy.
Out came the fiery man of God, Prophet Nathan, in one of the most dramatic confrontations ever recorded in the scriptures.
David was cornered. But he did something so powerful I want you to see. He did not live in denial or delusion once confronted. He owned up. Psalm 51 was a prayer from the heart of a repentant man.
One verse that struck me however, which inspired this morning’s discourse is this:
Psa 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
He knew if the Holy Spirit is gone, he is finished. He must have remembered Saul, and what happened to him when the Holy Spirit departed and took His mercy away from him.
Perhaps in your quest to settle down and get married, your greatest asset is the Holy Spirit.
He is the revealer. He is the teacher. He is the comforter.
Protect your relationship with Him. It is a key to a lasting relationship and marriage. He is the one that will show you who to marry, just as He showed me!
May God grant you more understanding!
CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
The Holy Spirit is my greatest asset. I value his friendship.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Thank God for the Holy Spirit. What a great asset!

Single or married, you dare not approach the vicinity of God’s presence in the old Testament. Even the priests who go to offer sacrifices once a year on behalf of the people had to do so in trepidation and fear. Ropes will be tied to their legs in case they died and they would simply be pulled out.
Such was the case in the old Testament.
In the new testament, it’s simply amazing. Not only could we approach God’s presence, but we are also told to come boldly.
E shock you? There is more. This same God we could not come near in Old Testament becomes a God we carry! What?
Take a look at the scripture.
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1:27 KJV
Christ is now in us and He is the hope of that glory. In other words, we can taste that glory once He is in us because He is the hope of that glory.
We are now supernatural beings. We cannot be defeated. We cannot be delayed maritally. We carry God! And who we carry ultimately determines who we marry.
There is no fear that our spouse won’t show up. Nobody can refuse you because you carry God whom no mortal can resist.
You carry God, so you cannot attract a time-waster, an empty Casanova, or a suitor with an ulterior motive.
You simply live with this understanding. You relish in it. You dive into it and the reality of that supernatural life becomes our experience.
You say it to yourself and confess it till it becomes your experience.
May God grant more understanding!

I carry God

Lord, open my eyes to see and know who I am

Living The Supernatural Life was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 22nd of August 2021 during the first service at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan.
In his teaching, Rev. Dunamis made mention of the following important points:
If you do not have understanding, you cannot step into the fullness of the power and strength that you have.
If you have Christ in you, you can pull into that glory and express the Christ in you. You can live the supernatural life.
GLORY comes from the Greek word ‘Doxa’ which means heavy or intense. The glory is made manifest in prosperity, increase, glow, etc.
We are all called to live and express this Glory. The glory of God is not for you to have goose bumps, but for you to express the glory for the world to see. It is in living the supernatural life.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Isaiah 60:1,3 (KJV)
We are called to live a glorious life – a life where every need is met, no lack whatsoever.
Declare to yourself: I AM A SUPERNATURAL BEING. I LIVE THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE.
Christ comes from the Greek word ‘Christos’ meaning ‘the anointed one and His anointing. Christ in you is the hope of glory.
To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians 1:27 (KJV)
As a believer, there are things you do not take, because Jesus took them! You do not take sickness; Jesus took it! You do not take defeat; Jesus took it! You do not take poverty; Jesus took it! You must know that Jesus has a supernatural provision for everything we will ever need. Live the supernatural life.
You should take control of your office, your home, your environment. Take charge! There are things that you should not allow to happen.
The substance of your message, as a believer, is the release of glory. Everything the devil is after is the glory. What makes you different from the ordinary man is the glory.
