Overcoming The Stronghold Of The Mind was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 27th of June 2021 at Shouts of Grace Center, Joke Plaza, Beside Trans Amusement Park, Bodija-UI Road, Ibadan. This was during the second service of the day.
In his teaching, Rev. Dunamis made mention of the following important points:
You can’t afford to be careless as a child of God. The sooner you realize that we are fighting against principalities and powers, the better for you.
The belt of truth is the application of God’s Word.
Righteousness (Right Living) is what covers your heart. When you do wrong, your heart becomes exposed to the vile of the enemy.
What happens or goes on in your mind will eventually play out in your life.
Fiery darts are arrows shot at your mind – lustful thoughts, evil thoughts, etc. They are not physical; they are spiritual.
What you meditate on is what you see. Negative thoughts will always come, as long as you are in the days of your flesh. The only way to stop thinking permanently is to remove your mind; but we both know it is not possible. Therefore the only way out is to cast down those thoughts as they come.
It is your responsibility to cast them down; and casting down is a forceful, violent exercise.
You don’t negotiate with negative thoughts or the devil. You cast them out. That’s where ‘Overcoming The Stronghold Of The Mind’ comes in.
You can only conquer negative thoughts by using the Word of God. Constant meditation on the Word, prayers, and fellowship with God blocks negative thoughts.
Everything that happens in life begins with imagination; whether you will be wealthy, great, poor or wretched is a function of your imagination.
Rise and stand!

Principles of Relationship was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 23rd of June 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:
Marriage is all about principles. If you are a born again Christian and you don’t work the principles, you will have a very good spiritual life but a very bad marriage.
A wife must submit to her husband, and a husband must love his wife.
The Principle Of Timing
God has a timetable for every man.
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)
Life is not lived anyhow, accepting whatever comes. It is lived by deliberately following principles.
You can’t get busy for God and God will not get busy for you.
You must deliberately pray not to miss your timing.
Every relationship/marriage has a purpose.
When you plan with God and follow Him squarely, you can’t make mistakes.
The Principle Of Crucifying The Flesh
Nobody succeeds in marriage without dying to the flesh. When you carry your flesh into a relationship, you will mess things up.
The flesh is designed to stop you from co-operating with God.
Inability to forgive is flesh
Double dating is flesh
Having an affair outside marriage (adultery) is flesh.
When the flesh is not put to death, it gets you in trouble. The flesh is stubborn; so you don’t negotiate with it! You just kill it!
The broken becomes masters at mending. When you overcome something (lust, smoking, bitterness, etc), you receive a special anointing to also help people overcome that thing.
The Principle Of Attraction
Don’t marry a person you are not attracted to.
You need someone you can focus on; someone you desire.
Don’t marry him because he has money; marry someone you are attracted to.
The absence of attraction is the beginning of deep seated issues.
The attraction must be mutual; otherwise it is dangerous.

Fathers and Fatherhood was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 20th of June 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:
The rising of children lie in their fathers
You are designed to tap into the grace and strength of your father so that you can go farther.
A simple offence at your covering can cost you your life.
There ought to be a mutual embrace between the father and the son.
A Father Warns
I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.
1 Corinthians 4:14 (NKJV)
He reprimands you. He disciplines you. He’s not some cheerleader who pampers you.
It’s not everything you obey that you understand, but once you obey, you position yourself for favour.
Anybody that cannot be disciplined is a bastard.
If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
Hebrews 12:7-8 (NKJV)
When you are being corrected, your ego is bruised, but you must heed instruction.
Correction is bitter but the end result is sweet.
A Father Exhibits Humility
It is the responsibility of a father to provide for his children.
A Father Protects
If you are not covered, you will struggle all your life. You don’t fight your pastor; you don’t fight your father.
You have a covering of protection under the person you are submitted to.
A Father Preserves
Your father has authority in his voice.
A Father Provides Priesthood
A father (biological) has the responsibility to take the needs of the family to God. The devil can’t afflict your household unless you permit.
A Father Is A Prophet
The father is a prophetic personality.
It takes your prophet to show you where your prosperity is.
As a son, you must understand when there is a shift in your father’s life, and when you see it you will get double of the anointing over his life.

In his teaching, Rev. Dunamis made mention of the following important points:
Demons cannot operate by themselves; they embody someone who is available to use.
