The Dangers Of Fainting was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 16th of January 2022 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:
This is the year that you go after… you pursue… you don’t give up! The tragedy of our generation is that we give up easily. At the face of any slight opposition we give up. But you must determine not to pass out on God this year.
This year you will not stay behind!
And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint: And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birthright. Genesis 25:29-34 (KJV)
Some Dangers Of Fainting:
Fainting can make you lose reasoning
Fainting can make you exchange something valuable for temporary pleasure.
You cannot afford to be faint this year; you got to be strong.
[If] thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength [is] small. Proverbs 24:10 (KJV)
The reason we faint is not because we’ve worked a lot; it’s because your strength is small. It is because you’ve not been paying attention to your strength.
Therefore, in this year GO FOR STRENGTH. If your strength is great, you cannot faint, and you will not experience the dangers of fainting.
All that has been lost in the last 5-10 years will be recovered in the name of Jesus!
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV)
God does not faint! If He does for a moment, the devil can wipe out the world. The solution to your fainting is power, and an increase in strength! God can top up your strength, if you allow Him.
Prayer:
I will not faint this year. LORD, strengthen me to pursue this year in the name of Jesus. The dangers of fainting will not be my experience.

Preparing For Year 2022 was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 26th of December 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:
What you say becomes your experience. That is how powerful Words are. Therefore learn to speak right words, and also align your actions to your words.
Year 2022 is what you call it!
Most times, the problem of the believer is not that of lack of knowledge, but that of lack of corresponding actions. Your knowing translates to nothing until you are able to translate your intentions to actions. Until something is done, nothing can happen. It is not enough to have good intentions! Your good intentions don’t count; it is your actions that count.
Two Things You Need To Make Year 2022 Great
Your very strong decisions. Decisions help you build a strong will
Your corresponding actions. This is what actually translates your desires to results.
Some Decisions We Need To Make For Year 2022
1. Decide to increase your commitment to God
And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil. Exodus 23:25-26 (KJV)
There is always a reward for serving God. The bread that God blesses will never spoil or get exhausted. The blessing of your bread causes it to multiply (that’s what happened in the feeding of the 5000 by Jesus – Jesus blessed the bread and it multiplied). True prosperity is not in having enough for yourself, it is in been able to meet the needs of others. Your service to God guarantees your good health!
2. Decide to improve your library
Decide to maximize your time in 2022. Lay aside every distraction and time wasters in your life. The time wasters in your life could be movies, games, social media, etc. Decide to increase your learning power in 2022.
Learn to convert every gifting you have to money. Package your gifting and monetize it. Decide to be wealthy
3. Decide to increase in your giving
There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and [there is] that withholdeth more than is meet, but [it tendeth] to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:24-25 (KJV)
It’s literally impossible to increase your earning without increasing your giving; this is because Kingdom prosperity is predicated on your giving.
The seed is for planting for the days to come. Do not consume your seed! Once your seed is in the ground, your harvest must come.
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. Mark 4:26-29 (KJV)
We make decisions, and those decisions in turn make you.
In 2022, ensure you satisfy all levels of giving
Tithe
Offering
First fruits
Giving to your parents
Giving to your pastor
Giving to those in need
Giving to Kingdom projects

The Seed Of Joy was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 5th of December 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:
Joy is one of the ways that the Kingdom of God is described.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:17 (KJV)
And in Mark 4:26-28, the Bible likens the Kingdom of God to a seed.
And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Mark 4:26-28 (KJV)
Therefore joy is a seed. Joy is a seed that will surely produce when you plant it.
What the joy of the LORD brings to you is beyond money; the money is simply the manifestation of the joy. Your money is in your joy. Your breakthrough is in your joy.
Learn to give expression to your joy – you can laugh it, jump it, shout it, etc.
If you can freely be sad; why can’t you choose to be freely joyful.
Joy can turn any situation around. Joy releases miracles.
God wants you joyful.
Stop waking up on the wrong side of bed; Learn to wake up on the joy side of the bed.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.
Isaiah 55:12 (KJV)
You shall go out of 2021 with joy, not in pain, agony or losses. Irrespective of what the story has been so far, you will step out of 2021 with joy.
Heaven is full of noises.
Fight everything that wants to make you depressed, sitting down in despondency, etc.
Inside your joy is everything you are believing God for.
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
Psalm 126:1-2 (KJV)
It was the filling of the mouth with laughter that caused their captivity to be turned around!

Joy Reloaded was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 28th of November 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:
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:17 (KJV)
That scripture means that:
The Kingdom of God is righteousness.
The Kingdom of God is peace.
The Kingdom of God is joy.
Therefore when you step into joy you step into the Kingdom, because the Kingdom of God is joy. Joy reloaded is for you.
You can’t get filled with the Holy Ghost by watching movies up and down. Joy in the Holy Ghost is not watching comedy. Joy in the Holy Ghost is that joy birthed by the Spirit of God.
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in parables:
Mark 4:11 (KJV)
One of the emblems of the Kingdom is Joy (Romans 14:17); therefore when the Scripture talks about “knowing the mystery of the Kingdom,” one of the ways to interpret it is “knowing the mystery of joy.”
Joy is mysterious because it produces, even though you may not know how it does it. Joy reloaded every day should be your stance.
When you respond to situations with joy, you bring the Kingdom of God to that situation.
And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
2 Chronicles 20:22 (KJV)
The feeling of fear is okay, but it is the way you respond that matters. It’s not easy to praise God in the midst of afflictions, but you have to bring yourself to that point.
Do you want God to step into your situation? Then praise! When you are supposed to be sad, dance. When you are wronged, respond with outbursts of praise. When you rejoice, you unleash the ministry of angels in your life.
Nothing steals my joy; that should be your stance. Joy is a decision you have to make; in the morning, joy; in the afternoon, joy; in the night, joy.
You sustain/perpetuate a blessing by your heart of gratitude. Joy reloaded!
Seek to stay in joy.

Joy Is A Serious Business was taught by Rev. Dunamis Okunowo on the 14th of November 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 reason we make mistakes is because we are not patient enough to wait for that peace from God which means ‘an okay’ from God concerning that situation.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:17 (KJV)
Mistakes will be averted if we get God’s consent in all our decisions.
You have to make up your mind not to allow anybody steal your joy. You can repeat these words to yourself right now: NOBODY STEALS MY JOY.
You have the responsibility to protect your joy and peace.
Joy is mysterious! It holds a whole lot of blessings in it. You may not understand how just being joyful will bring these blessings, but the joy will bring the blessings.
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
Isaiah 12:3 (KJV)
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17 (KJV)
In this Kingdom, too much analysis leads to paralysis. To make progress in this kingdom, you don’t have to be too conscious of yourself, such that, for example, you resist jumping and shouting when the Holy Spirit is stirring you to do so. You have to behave like a child, for the Kingdom of God belongs to children!
There’s always a co-operation between you and God for the manifestation of your blessings to show forth.
Always remember that Joy Is A Serious Business!
