The Fear and Mercy Of God was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 1st of August 2021 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan. The first service of the day was on ‘The Fear Of God’ while the second service was on ‘The Mercy of God.’
Some of the points Rev Dunamis made during the first service are as follows:
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as [for] hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:1-5 (KJV)
That Scripture talks about several things we are to do in order to be able to understand the fear of God.
Receive
Hide
Incline (set at an angle)
Apply
Cry
Lift up your voice
Seek
Search
It is when you fulfil these parameters that you will come to understand what the fear of God is.
Fearing the LORD is a basic quality every believer must have.
What you do not understand, you cannot do.
The fear of God is awe, reverence… not being frightened or scared or trembling.
What establishes your relevance in heaven is your relationship with God.
During the second service Rev Dunamis talked around The Mercy of God. He made the following points:
You are a product of God’s mercy. You are the one that God has shown mercy.
Rest in God’s mercy. Lean on His mercy.
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Exodus 20:6 (KJV)
But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Genesis 39:21 (KJV)
The mercy of God sets you apart.
You do not get married by looks, but by the mercies of God.
One of the greatest things God has done for you is mercy.
And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
2 Chronicles 1:8 (KJV)
Mercy has a voice. Inside mercy there is prosperity.

Winning In The Mind was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 28th of July 2021 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:
Dear ladies,
Don’t marry a man you don’t love
Don’t marry a man you cannot submit to
Don’t marry a man whose correction you can’t take
Feminism is from the pit of hell; it is against the principles of God.
An average lady comes with her stubbornness.
It is sacrilegious for a husband/wife to confide in their friend or family about what the spouse knows nothing about.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Genesis 2:24-25 (KJV)
The devil works through one major avenue – suggestions through your thoughts.
(For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (KJV)
The devil has strategy meetings over your life.
If he can’t get you as a single, he’ll wait for you in marriage.
We all have bundles of issues in our mind. The more you solve these issues without denial, the better the quality of your life.
Winning in the mind is very important if you must make progress in life. This starts with the renewal of the mind. Your mind must continually be under transformation, with the Word of God.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)

Presenting Your Body As A Living Sacrifice was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 18th day of July 2021 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:
Acquisition of knowledge is not enough; understanding is what empowers you to do. The degree to which you understand a thing is the degree you enjoy the benefits of that thing
If you don’t present your body as a living sacrifice, you will never be all that God has created you to be.
How Do You Present Your Body?
You present your body by killing it; by deadening it.
For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever.
Romans 8:13 (AMP)
You do not retrieve your sacrifice. Each time you go back to your sins, you are contradicting your destiny. Dead people don’t fornicate. Dead people don’t retaliate.
Your flesh has a voice, and if you lack self control, you will follow whatever it says.
When your body is presented as a living sacrifice, it cannot dictate to you, rather you tell your body what to do.
Do you want your worship to be accepted by God? Then present your body. Your worship does not exist until your body is presented.
I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.
Romans 12:1 (AMP)
The fact that you presented your body as a living sacrifice does not mean that temptations will not come; but you do not hearken to the voice of the flesh when it speaks.
There is a relationship between deadening your body and your bank account. If you wish to prosper the God kind of way, then you have to kill or deaden your flesh so that it doesn’t stand as a hindrance to your blessings. Therefore you must work at presenting your body as a living sacrifice.

Five Things About Falling In Love And Staying In Love was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 11th of July 2021 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:
As a single, stop falling in love with more than one person at a time.
If you STAY with God, everything will be beautiful. But what happens most times is that we don’t want to stay with God; we want to follow our feelings and emotions.
However, you cannot survive in the realm of your feelings; you must come to the realm of reality.
When God communicates with you, He does not do it through your feelings; He does it through your spirit.
Your feelings would eventually become your decisions if your dwell there.
When you see terror and minimize it to fun, you are in deadly trouble.
In falling in love, the first order of things is to RENEW YOUR MIND. Your mind is everything.
The moment you start having more than one person in mind, confusion has set in. Stop falling in love with more than one person at a time.
In his teaching, Rev Dunamis talked to married couples on How To Deal With Attractions For And From Others Who Are Not Your Spouse. He made the following points:
Ignore, Refuse, And Reject
Open up to your spouse
Five Things About Falling In Love And Staying In Love
Love Can Intoxicating
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth– For your love is better than wine.
Song of Solomon 1:2 (NKJV)
Love can can make you lose your mind. Before you taste the wine of love, make sure you are of age. Before you allow him/her to kiss you with the kisses of the mouth, make sure you are married.
Kissing awakens love, and when love is awakened at the wrong time, you will do the right things at the wrong time. Kissing and sex is good, but only within the confines of marriage.
As a single if you don’t learn how to wait then you are headed for doom. Waiting is powerful.
The place of maturity is the place of discipline – you tell yourself you won’t do this despite the urge to do it.
Kissing wakes up unnecessary feelings. Say no to kissing before marriage – it’s easier to kill the seed than attack the harvest.
Rev Dunamis ended the sermon by talking to the married couples on a few tips that will help them rekindle their love:
Take yourselves out from time to time
Keep speaking your love language
Don’t stop wooing each other
Forgive quickly
Have a mentor over your marriage
