Prophetic Picture of the Year 2022 By Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries

PROPHETIC PICTURE OF THE YEAR 2022

By Dr. D.K Olukoya, GO MFM Worldwide

This year is a subtle year, a dribbling and a two phased year

1. It is a year for true sons of God to have a voice

2. It is a year of new and better things for the children of God. So, make sure you serve God wholeheartedly in year 2022.

3. It is a year of falling away of the old and the emergence of the new.

4. The Lord said new, accurate, prophetic voices will emerge, not like what we have now.

5. The Lord says that for many, all the doors that were shut against them shall be forced opened.

6. The year shall be a year of new beginning for many.

7. We need to pray really seriously on strange and great movement in the waters, in the rain, in the river and in the sea.

8. It is a year of positive dislocation; some will be dislocated, they will think it is for evil but it shall be for good.

9. It is a year that you have to be serious with God; sort yourself out and put your life right. Don't play games with God in year 2022.

10. We need to pray really hard to prevent another COVID-like situation or anything that is similar to it.

11. Exodus 19:5-6 will play out very well. So, if we comply with this; supernatural protection, supernatural provision, supernatural preservation will take place.

12. It is a year for the saints to shine as light.

13. Corruptions, evil plots and schemes will be exposed in a massive way.

14. (This is for Mountain of Fire) The Mountain of Fire will manifest more like the pool of Bethesda, where people will come and be healed.

15. It is a year for you to key into your positions as light and salt of the earth.

16. The rage of marine powers, releasing seven (7) deadly spirits. They have started releasing them already. - Sexual perversion and immorality, insanity, confusion, lying spirits and infirmity, mammon spirits, adversity and conflicts.

17. Answers to banked-up prayers and long term problems, the answers will begin to manifest.

18. We need to pray hard to avoid useless wars, wars that are completely unnecessary.

19. All over the world, hard-core occultics and ritualists will be put to open shame.

20. The wailing cry of the saints will trigger divine mercy; so, we should pray a lot more.

21. There will be cleansing and purging in the house of God. A lot of people are just taking God for a ride; this 2022 will not be like that. If you come and start joking with God, toying with the things of God, you are playing with your life in this coming year.

22. There will be laughters in places where sorrows have dwell for a very long time.

23. The Lord said it will be a rain of babies for those expextant parents and there will be mysterious breakthroughs for them.

24. It is a year of uncommon divine favour.

25. We need to pray to avert friendly nations disagreeing and betraying each other and going into war.

26. It will be a year of drought for those without store houses

27. Many prodigals will come back to the Lord, willingly or unwillingly.

28. There will be massive shakings that will expose hypocrisy and corruption in the house of God.

29. We need to pray as a church that God should begin to raise politicians like Daniel and Joseph who will prosper in whatever political and financial climates before them.

30. There will be a release of new generation of revivalists to evangelise this end time harvest of souls.

31. We need to pray against inflation and starvation.

32. We need to pray against massive political instability which will put a lot of people in disarray.

33. One other thing that came up in the radar is that we need to pray seriously for marriages. The devil has planned a stormy year for marriages.

34. We need to pray against strange deaths.

35. No believer should miss the opportunity to bombard heavens with high voltage prayers on 2-2-2022. That is a strategic day.

36. The church needs prayers against increased persecution of Christians.

37. The God of the suddenlies is preparing something for Nigeria and will answer the prayers of His children.

For any power that wants Nigeria to sink shall sink, and any power that wants Nigeria to die shall die; they will drink their own blood and eat their own flesh, until they are drunk with it.

In Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries here, our motto for this year is a powerful confession, a proclamation:

2022: My Year of Becoming A Divine Spectacle (1 Corinthians 4:9, John 3:8, Job 9:10, Exodus 15:11).

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 1

The Scent of the Holy Spirit 1

The Holy Spirit is the essence of the existence of the Almighty God and it is supreme and infinite in space and time.

You cannot know God without His Holy Spirit. Anyone who claims or says he or she knows God, but does not have the Holy Spirit is a LIAR. 

Many of the so called pastors, bishops and ministers in Nigeria and the rest of the world are FAKE. But tragically, majority of their followers are also FAKE. 

Fake pastors have fake Followers.

Because, our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said as it is written in Matthew 7:16:

" Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

###

Matthew 22:1-14:

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

Bamboozled By Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams

Bamboozled By Jesus: How God Tricked Me into the Life of My Dreams

Description

Thriving stand-up comic and actress Yvonne Orji—best known as Issa Rae's BFF on the HBO series, Insecure—shares the secrets to living the life of your dreams.

Yvonne Orji has never shied away from being unapologetically herself, and that includes being outspoken about her faith. Known for interpreting Biblical stories and metaphors to fit current times, her humorous and accessible approach to faith leaves even non-believers inspired and wanting more. 

The way Yvonne sees it, God is a Sovereign Prankster, punking folks long before Ashton Kutcher made it cool. When she meditates on her own life—complete with unforeseen blessings and unanticipated roadblocks—she realizes it’s one big testimony to how God tricked her into living out her wildest dreams. And she wants us to join in on getting bamboozled. This is not a Self-Help book—it’s a Get Yours book! 

In Bamboozled by Jesus, a frank and fresh advice book, Orji takes readers on a journey through twenty-five life lessons, gleaned from her own experiences and her favorite source of inspiration: the Bible. But this ain’t your mama’s Bible study. Yvonne infuses wit and heart in sharing pointers like why the way up is sometimes down, and how fear is synonymous to food poisoning. Her joyful, confident approach to God will inspire everyone to catapult themselves out of the mundane and into the magnificent. 

With bold authenticity and practical relatability, Orji is exactly the kind of cultural leader we need in these chaotic times. And her journey through being Bamboozled by Jesus paints a powerful picture of what it means to say “yes” to a life you never could’ve imagined—if it wasn’t your own.

Reviews

“Inspiration practically leaps off the pages and into the hearts of readers—the writing is engaging and the comedic timing is absolute gold. Orji is a cheerleader and best friend for every dreamer.”― LaParis Hawkins, Booklist 

“Not only is Yvonne really funny and smart, she brings a fresh new perspective to every story she tells. She is an absolute master, and an original voice that needs to be heard now more than ever. Once you let her in your mind, you’ll never want her to leave.”

― Chris Rock, actor & comedian 

"Yvonne somehow found a way to brilliantly weave her humor, insight, courage, and faith into pages that feel like a weekend retreat hanging with your best, boldest, brightest and most blessed girlfriend. Bamboozled by Jesus is real talk about deep faith put in practice from a woman committed to living a life of vision, purpose, service and success." 

 ― Kerry Washington, actress, producer, & director 

“Whether it’s as an actress, comedian or thought-leader, Yvonne has always given a fresh perspective and authentic storytelling. Bamboozled is a culmination of the characteristics that make her so special: sharp wit, fierce intelligence and an unapologetic sense of self.”

― Rachel Hollis, author & speaker 

"A delightful debut... Orji's boundless enthusiasm will appeal to her fans and newcomers alike."― Publishers Weekly

Changing Faces: Will a Born-Again Christian Commit Adultery?


The born-again Christian couple Franca (Alex Lopez) and Dale (Marc Baylis) in bed in a scene from Changing Faces.

Changing Faces: Will a Born-Again Christian Commit Adultery?

That is the question no married Christian can deny, because no one can deny the temptations to have sex outside the matrimonial home. Extramarital affairs are the realities married couples cannot ignore, whether they are born again Christians or not. And the answer is in Faruk Lasaki’s romantic drama Changing Faces opening at the Silverbird Cinemas, Genesis Deluxe Cinemas and other cinemas in Nigeria, Ghana and other countries from December 16, 2011.

This born-again Christian husband did not only commit adultery with another woman outside his matrimonial home, but he returned to also have sex with their house girl whilst his wife was sleeping until she woke up in the middle of the night to catch him rocking their house girl like a dog!



Changing Faces has been highly commended as one of the new movies raising the standards in Nollywood and the movie has opened doors for Nollywood at the Cannes Film Festival in France, Cairo International Film Festival in Egypt, African Diaspora Film Festival in New York, USA, Écrans Noirs Film Festival in Yaoundé, Cameroun, Zuma Film Festival in Abuja and Eko International Film Festival in Lagos, Nigeria.


The born-again Christian husband Dale (Marc Baylis) with the adultress Lola (Rachael Young) in a scene from Changing Faces.

Faruk Lasaki is one of the best graduates of the New York Film Academy (NYFA), which also brought out the best in Chineze Anyaene whose IJÉ the Journey broke the local box office record in Nigeria; including Kunle Afolayan who has won multiple awards for his Araromire: Figurine, with five awards at the African Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) for the Best Picture, Best Actor and others and Stephanie Okereke whose movie Through the Glass lifted her higher in Nollywood as an actress and emerging filmmaker.

Changing Faces has an international cast of gifted Nigerian and British actors and actresses like Marc Baylis rated as the hottest actor in a Nigerian movie by the authoritative Nigeria Films.Com.

“Marc’s thrilling role as the young white Architecture whiz kid Dale married to a Nigerian woman showed him as a better actor than Van Vicker and Majid Michel and stood him in class of his own as a world class romantic actor,” Nigeria Films reported.

“He is charming, can wait to see the movie. A powerful story line,” said one of those who read the exclusive report.

Marc is Dale the born again “Oyinbo” husband of Franca, a black Nigerian woman acted by the pretty and sexy Nigerian-Brazilian actress and Nollywood diva Alex Lopez seemed to be very faithful until he met Lola another sexy black woman at an Architectural conference in a beautiful hill top hotel. Where the seductress tempted and lured the married man into her bed on the last night of the conference and his life was never the same again. Black and beautiful British actress Rachael Young was the temptress Lola in Changing Faces. Other popular Nollywood stars in the movie are Keppy Ekpenyong who was the boss of Dale, Ayo Mogaji-Dabo and Femi Brainard.

The Muslim Woman Who Saw Jesus!

The Muslim Woman Who Saw Jesus!

Millions of people are still perishing in ignorance of the Truth of Jesus Christ, because of their unbelief and being misled by false doctrine and false religion. That is why I have to remind them of the awesome testimony of Gulshan Esther, a Muslim girl, imprisoned by her religion and severe disability, but was healed and set free by Jesus Christ HIMSELF!



You should also read the book of her unforgettable testimony The Torn Veil: The Best-Selling Story of Gulshan Esther



A true story of freedom and miraculous healing as a Muslim girl finds faith in Christ

When Gulshan Esther, a devout Muslim girl, was six months old, typhoid left her a cripple. Her loving father took her from Pakistan to England to find a cure, but the only hope the British specialist could offer was prayer. Gulshan and her father made pilgrimage to Mecca and begged Allah for healing, but it was not until her father’s untimely death that Gulshan began to receive an answer. In her grief she wanted to die, but as she called out to God, for the first time in her life she sensed she was being heard. She heard a low, gentle voice say, "I won’t let you die. I will keep you aliveÖI am Jesus, son of Mary."

As Gulshan began reading the Quran, her interest in Jesus grew, until one amazing night he appeared to her in her bedroom in a blaze of light. He restored her crippled arm and leg and taught her The Lord’s Prayer. He told her to go to his people—now her people—and tell them what he had done. Since that time, and to this day, she has been a joyous, obedient disciple of Christ. The Torn Veil is an amazing story of faith and determination.

This moving autobiography was first published in 1984 and has sold over 200,000 copies worldwide.

Letter from Barack Obama on Marriage and Gay Rights



Letter from Barack Obama on Marriage and Gay Rights

2004-02-11

As an African-American man, a child of an interracial marriage, a committed scholar, attorney and activist who works to protect the Bill of Rights, I am sensitive to the struggle for civil rights. As a state Senator, I have taken on the issue of civil rights for the LGBT community as if they were my own struggle because I believe strongly that the infringement of rights for any one group eventually endangers the rights enjoyed under law by the entire population. Since 1996, I have been the sponsor or a chief co-sponsor of measures to expand civil liberties for the LGBT community including hate-crimes legislation, adoption rights and the extension of basic civil rights to protect LGBT persons from discrimination in housing, public accommodations, employment and credit.

Today, I am a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Unlike any of my opponents, I have a legislative track record. No one has to guess about what I will do in Washington. My record makes it very clear. I will be an unapologetic voice for civil rights in the U.S. Senate.

For the record, I opposed DOMA [the Defense of Marriage Act] in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying. This is an effort to demonize people for political advantage, and should be resisted ... .

When Members of Congress passed DOMA, they were not interested in strengthening family values or protecting civil liberties. They were only interested in perpetuating division and affirming a wedge issue. ...

Despite my own feelings about an abhorrent law, the realities of modern politics persist. While the repeal of DOMA is essential, the unfortunate truth is that it is unlikely with Mr. Bush in the White House and Republicans in control of both chambers of Congress. ...

We must be careful to keep our eyes on the prize—equal rights for every American. We must continue to fight for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We must vigorously expand hate-crime legislation and be vigilant about how these laws are enforced. We must continue to expand adoption rights to make them consistent and seamless throughout all 50 states, and we must repeal the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” military policy.

I know how important the issue of equal rights is to the LGBT community. I share your sense of urgency. If I am elected U.S. Senator, you can be confident that my colleagues in the Senate and the President will know my position.


~ Senator Barack Obama
Democratic Candidate for the U.S. Senate

First Published by Windy City Media Group


N.B:

The Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, is the commonly-used name of a federal law of the United States that is officially known as Pub.L. 104-199, 110 Stat. 2419, enacted 1996-09-21 and codified at 1 U.S.C. § 7 and 28 U.S.C. § 1738C. The law has two effects.

1. No state (or other political subdivision within the United States) need recognize a marriage between persons of the same sex, even if the marriage was concluded or recognized in another state.

2. The Federal Government may not recognize same-sex or polygamous marriages for any purpose, even if concluded or recognized by one of the states.
The bill was passed by Congress by a vote of 85-14 in the Senate and a vote of 342-67 in the House of Representatives, and was signed by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996.
