Prophetic Instruction For The Year
Welcome to A Season of Supernatural Growth!
Isa 60:22 (KJV) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
Welcome to your best season yet. Welcome to the dawn of a new era that promises to be the best you’ve ever experienced on this side of the world.
Welcome to the year when significant events will occur rapidly in your favour!
Whenever God wants to communicate with His people, He sends them a message.
Well, we have the privilege and a rare opportunity to have received a prophetic instruction for the church, the ministry, and by extension to everyone who identifies with us in Kisses and Huggs Club and in Shouts of Grace Center.
Wow! The instructions are incredibly simple.
God has been incredibly gracious in revealing that 2025 will be a fantastic year for all of us. To manifest this, He has given us a daily commitment of one hour to Him in prayer and praise.
Essentially, we will be raising storms of prayer and praise to God daily! We will dedicate 30 minutes of our morning prayers to a “prayer storm” and 30 minutes of our nighttime prayers to a “praise storm.” We have named this initiative the Global Prayer and Praise Storm (GPPS).
You can join Prayer Storm and Praise Storm using these permanent links.
Prayer Storm begins at 6:00 AM WAT, followed by Praise Storm at 9:00 PM WAT.

In case you missed it due to different time zones, you can join the replay anytime on YouTube (@pastordunamis) at this link HERE
God’s instructions are always simple and ridiculous, but that does not invalidate their potency.
He has provided the template and blueprint for next year! Let’s make sure we adhere to these instructions.
This is the same reason we created the CHALLENGE: the GLOBAL PRAYER AND PRAISE CHALLENGE (GPPS).
Join us daily and challenge yourself to ensure that not a single day goes by without you dedicating 30 minutes to prayer and 30 minutes to praise.
Remember what the scriptures say when you are willing and obedient?
Isa 1:19 (KJV) If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Happy New Year! Have a fantastic year ahead.

There’s something truly special about being on God’s side. You can achieve effortless victory when others are succumbing to defeat or falling.
As we look ahead to the coming year, it’s hard not to feel uneasy. The global economic situation is not a cause for celebration. All signs point to a challenging and uncertain future.
However, you are aware that the scriptures have already foretold us about these challenging times.
Isa 60:1-2 (KJV) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. [2] For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
You are to arise and shine!
Don’t be afraid or let trepidation hold you back. The darker it gets, the brighter your light shines!
I particularly love the Amplified Version.
Isa 60:1-2 (AMPC) ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you–rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [2] For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you.
You can rise to a new life in the coming days! You have the opportunity to transform your life in the coming days!
How do you stand tall when others are falling? How do you maintain your composure when others are losing their footing?
Psa 20:7-8 (KJV) Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. [8] They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
It is where you put your trust that matters!
Don’t join others in trusting in chariots, horses, man-made solutions, and inventions; rather, put your trust in God!
These are the times to remember the name of the Lord!
Take these Prayer Points:
- I will not fall in Jesus’ name
- My light will shine and will never be put out in Jesus’ name
- Lord, teach me and grant me the grace to always trust in you, in Jesus’ name!

There are many secrets to being blessed, all encapsulated in God’s word.
However, I’d like to share one of them with you this morning!
Let’s examine the scripture.
2Sa 6:11 (KJV)
And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
The ark of the Lord here was why the house of Obededom was being blessed.
God has given us express instruction for the coming year on Kisses and Huggs Club and in Shouts of Grace Center!
This is what we have started in the mornings with Prayer Storm and in the evenings with Praise Storm.
We are building an ark unto the Lord with our daily prayers and praise. This is why I encourage you to participate in what we are doing on Global Prayer and Praise Storms (GPPS).
It is a covenant to PRAY in the mornings (30 Mins) and PRAISE in the nights (30 Mins)
The Prayer and Praise sessions are also available afterward on YouTube because of different time zones.
Let us come together and build this ark together! Go to kissesandhuggs.org to learn more.
Let’s delve into another scripture to explore the significance of having an ark in our lives.
2Sa 6:12 (KJV) And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
Look at that. The Lord blessed his house and all that pertain unto him!
This is what I pray for you in the coming year!
May God bless you and bless all that pertain unto you in Jesus’ name!
Pray these prayers:
- O Ark of Glory, come into my tabernacle after the order of Obed-Edom, in Jesus name
- I receive grace and strength to pray and praise daily in the coming year through Global Prayer and Praise storms in Jesus’ name
- Lord, let your ark rest in my house and my abode in Jesus’ name!

I adore the word “ability”! It’s a potent word that embodies boundless possibilities with grace. However, when the word “disability” or “disabled” is used, it instantly conveys a sense of weakness and negativity!
An able man is what every woman wants!
However, the narrative even gets stronger when the reference is God.
One such reference can be found here:
2Co 9:8 (KJV) And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
We are aware of God’s immense power and His ability to perform both great deeds and undo them. However, does He possess the power to intervene in our lives and bring about positive change?
The good news is that God is indeed capable of doing so!
Well, good news. God is able!
What is He able to do?
He is able to make all grace abound. This refers to abundance, a place of overflow, and more than enough.
Let’s check the Passion Translation:
2Co 9:8 (TPT) Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.
He is going to overwhelm you with every form of grace!
And you’ll be blessed with an abundance of everything you desire!
He’ll shower you with prosperity in every righteous endeavor you undertake!
Isn’t that incredible?
In Jesus’ name, you will have an abundant and overflowing experience in the coming year! You will not lack anything; you will not be in a state of panic or chaos.
Pray the following three prayers:
- Pray that every aspect of your business, career, job, or ministry will yield abundant fruit in Jesus’ name.
- Confess by faith the flow of new ideas, visions, and breakthroughs.
- Pray for the wisdom to take action that will result in blessing and abundance!
Good morning!

Most believers live as if they have already lost the victory, particularly when it comes to living above sin.
Many people are still bound by immorality, which explains why they constantly feel defeated.
But what is the reality? Well, the reality is that we are not defeated!
Let us dive into the scriptures.
Rom 6:14 (KJV) For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
This is unequivocally stated!
For sin shall not have dominion….
How more reassuring can it sound?
Let’s explore other translations.
Read the various versions to allow the revelations of victory over sin to sink in.
(AMPC) For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you…
(CEV) Don’t let sin keep ruling your lives…
(GNB) Sin must not be your master…
(GW) Certainly, sin shouldn’t have power over you…
(MSG) Sin can’t tell you how to live…
(TPT) Remember this: sin will not conquer you…
(Yoruba OCB) Nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ kì yóò tún ní ipá lórí yín mọ́…
The significance of this scripture lies in the fact that you possess the power to control sin, particularly sexual sins!
The next time you encounter a temptation, remember that you don’t have to succumb or yield to it!
You don’t give in to something you have already conquered!
You are not the conquered; you are the conqueror!
Sin attempts to dictate your life, impose its will upon you, and insist on what you should and shouldn’t do.
But The Message Translation of that verse says;
(MSG) Sin can’t tell you how to live…
I absolutely adore that!
Jesus guides me towards a righteous life, not towards sin.
I don’t have to succumb to the allure or the manipulations of sin.
You are no longer defeated by sin. You are no longer a weakling when it comes to resisting the natural inclinations of the flesh and the temptations of sin.
You are in control, and God is with you!
Good morning!
