In a compelling sermon, Apostle Joshua Selman has addressed the difficulties that believers encounter, highlighting the necessity for clarity and comprehension regarding unanswered prayers. “There are things that believers have prayed for, and it refused to go,” he expressed, raising concerns about the gap between faith and visible outcomes.
Selman claimed that “90% of the time, what happens to men is not a reflection of what God wanted to happen.” He emphasized the need for spiritual empowerment, explaining, “So the next time you say God use me, what you are saying is God expand me,” and encouraged believers to develop a more effective channel for divine power to flow through them.
He recognized the challenges many are experiencing, stating, “Some of you seated here right now… your loved ones are sick. You are having financial crisis.” This recognition resonated with the audience, as he drew attention to the perseverance of believers who, despite their efforts, still endure struggles: “You will not bribe, you will not cheat, yet you have not seen one real manifestation of the mercy of God. Something is wrong.”
He urged the church to provide solutions, asserting that “the assignment of the church is to bring answers.” He cautioned against complacency, stating, “If we keep fooling ourselves… sooner or later they will leave us and go to seek whatever they feel can help them.”
In his closing remarks, he proclaimed, “If the church does not attend to the needs that are confronting society, the church will be extinct. But not in my lifetime.” The apostle’s powerful appeal serves as a reminder for believers to pursue greater understanding and empowerment, encouraging them to align their lives with a divine mission.
