You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.
She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.
And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.
To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.
I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?
Then I realized I was the wife.
I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.
And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”
He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”
That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.
He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.
Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.
Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.
The cross was Him naming the price.
Praise the Lord.
This testimony got people in tears yesterday at Koinonia.
His sisters bound him hand and foot to bring him to church and he got healed after AJS was ministering healing.
There is nothing that is too hard for God to do. Absolutely nothing!
Those tiny flashes of ideas that God puts in your heart has real implications for millions and billions of people.
Please act on them even if it stretches you. For some of these ideas, there are no material outcomes, but trust me, God has you taken care of if you just act.
If you want to improve your Listening and Speaking skills, listen to AJS.
If you want to provoke your thinking faculty, listen to AJS.
More importantly, if you want to remain spiritually sensitive, listen to AJS.
Apostle Joshua Selman embodies all of the above.
Happy birthday sir.
CELEBRATING A FATHER, A VOICE, A GIFT TO OUR GENERATION — HAPPY BIRTHDAY APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN
"I have found Joshua My servant; with My holy oil have I anointed him." Psalm 89:20
Today, we celebrate our dear father and mentor, whose "yes" to the Lord has become a doorway through which countless souls have encountered Christ, been transformed, and received light. We honour not just your birth, but your obedience. Not just your impact, but your consistency. Not just your ministry, but your unwavering devotion to revealing Jesus Christ and bringing Him glory.
Through your teachings, many have found language for their destinies. Through your support and prayers, many have found the strength to keep believing. Through your example, many have discovered that intimacy with God is not a myth, but a possibility.
You have taught us the way to love and shown us what true greatness in the Kingdom looks like. You have taught us to pursue Jesus above all else, to value Christ-like character above charisma, and to contend for deeper dimensions of spiritual growth and maturity.
The countless souls saved, lives touched, destinies aligned, families restored, leaders raised, and altars rekindled through Koinonia stand as living proof that one yielded life can become a blessing to nations.
Thank you for remaining faithful to the call.
Thank you for teaching us the ways of God.
