"BECAUSE A MAN SAID YES" — HAPPY BIRTHDAY APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN
"Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” 1 Timothy 5:17 (KJV)
Because a man said yes, millions found language for their destinies. The weary found rest, the broken found healing, and the hungry encountered truth. He came not just with charisma, but with fire, depth, and a divine mandate for our generation.
In a world captivated by noise, he modeled the power of silence. In an age driven by platforms, he returned us to the altar. Amid the chase for relevance, he revealed the beauty of surrender. He taught us to seek Jesus Christ; not merely His gifts. To carry fire, not just titles. To build altars, not empires. To love deeply, pray fervently, and serve faithfully.
To some, he is a preacher. To others, a prophet, a mentor, an apostle. But to us, he is a Father. Apostle Joshua Selman, your life is proof that the price for all of God is all of us and that a man can truly walk with God. You've not just preached the Word; you have become it. Line upon line, precept upon precept, you've shaped lives, discipled nations, and built enduring legacies from the secret place.
You are not building followers, you are raising witnesses. You're not building a name, you're building a generation anchored in Christ. You are a divine portal - A voice to nations, a living witness to the Kingdom come mandate, a herald of kingdom truths. You are a move of God in motion.
Today, we rise in honour. We do not just say “Happy Birthday”. We say THANK YOU. Thank you for saying yes. Thank you for loving Jesus unapologetically. Thank you for pouring out yourself for a generation. You've become an answer to prayers we didn’t know how to pray. A fulfillment of prophecy. A divine gift to our time.
And so, we pray: May your days be long, your peace be deep, and your crown, weighty with souls. May the oil upon your life never run dry, may the heavens over you remain open, may your reward be eternal, and your strength multiplied.
We honour you. We celebrate you. We bless you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN

@On1smo@ApostleJoelSLW@Shadaya_Knight The New Testament was written in Greek, the language of the Jews was Hebrew not Greek. John, James and Jesus in Hebrew are called Yohan, Yaakov and Yeshua.
The present day Jews (some) are not Christians, not because they cannot find the names John, James and Jesus in Israel.
If you're currently building a project in a testnet phase and you want it to succeed,
Study @MangoOS_Network@MangoOS_Network has set a new standard for what a testnet can achieve
Here’s a deep dive into how they succeed. 🧵🪡
FINAL CLARIFICATION:
1.Any Christian who is not productive is not living by the word of God. A man who does not work should not eat (2 Thess 3:10 ) . But to insinuate that people who have regular vigils are not productive is terrible generalization.
2.Therefore, any Church that makes people pray all week long for financial blessing as opposed to encouraging them to work diligently with their hands is wrong. There are many Churches like this admittedly.
LET’S HOWEVER BE CAREFUL WITH THE JUXTAPOSITION AND ADMIT THAT:
1.If Churches stopped doing vigils, there won’t suddenly be more jobs. Vigils are not the immediate problem of the Nation.
2.If there were multiple night shift options that Christians abandoned for “daily vigils” then maybe you have a point. But that’s not the case. Having an issue with frequent vigils is blaming the Church for the governments work. This is what we often do these days and that’s what I stand against.
3.People actually must not have to work night shifts to be productive. They should if they have to and if there are opportunities to.
But beyond Church, there are several other things people can do with their night. Like spend time with family, socialize and sleep.
People who don’t work at night shouldn’t be seen as unproductive. Again, even in more developed Countries, not everyone has to work night shifts. And if Nigeria should have more options to work at night, that’s more on the government.
https://t.co/DC34RX3Wvs’s a little insensitive to ask people to work even more in a nation like Nigeria. How much is minimum wage?
5.Churches that have programs every day are not the majority.
⁃Most Churches have vigils not more than once a month.
⁃Most vigils are into the weekend.
6.Some of you don’t see the point of praying long and regularly for any reason. That’s okay. But people should reserve the right to use their free time as they choose. Night time is not ‘economic hours’. If it is not hindering the nation, it is none of your business
7.Saying “Where has prayer taken this Country” means you know little about prayer. Prayer is primarily about intimacy and communion. There is very little correlation to nation building even in the Bible.
8.I’ve seen a few tags about another Pastor who says “Dangote sells salt…don’t sleep in Church and ask God to bless you”. I absolutely agree!
⁃Context was that God won’t bless you if there is no product to bless. Don’t just pray all day and not work.
⁃A government official blaming the productivity of the nation on the Church ticked me off more, because he (and is colleagues) are to be held to account more than the Church.
https://t.co/UkuTt2e2Id’s okay if you still don’t agree. Disagreeing doesn’t make us enemies. It doesn’t mean I may not support Mr PO if he chooses to run again. It doesn’t mean much of what he said was false. I had an issue with the juxtaposition, and I absolutely have the right to.
10.Apart from Watchnight service, our church has not had any global vigil this year. I’m not trying to protect anything. I’m just against correcting one extreme with another.
Love and grace
ELON MUSK: "I would prefer not to be in politics. I stepped into the arena because I think the stakes are extremely fundamental. I fear if Trump does not win, we are going to have a single-party state that is going to be worse than California.
The one thing that keeps California from going even further is that people can move out of California and still be in America. But if you've got no place to move, then it's going to be much worse than California, and that's the danger that we face.
An oppressive totalitarian state that has extreme restrictions on freedom of speech that continues extreme over-regulation that makes government even bigger than it is today and takes away the liberty of the people.
It's not something I wanted to do, but I thought it was critical to do it, or America is not going to be America."

What does it look like when a far-left open-borders government gets reelected?
For Canada, it means the Foreign-born share of the population increases from 24% in 2016 to ~34% by the time Trudeau gets voted out in Oct 2025.
Including children with 2 foreign parents? That's Half of Canada's population now. And that doesn't include Canada-born children with only 1 Foreign-born parent.
Imagine what the Kamala-Mayorkas border policy will look like in a 2nd term. Justin Trudeau shows us one potential future.
