STANDING ON THE PROMISES (THE POTENCY OF WORD-DERIVED FAITH) WITH APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN ||06|04|2025

The service begins with an uplifting worship session, featuring songs of praise and declarations of faith. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation for a divine encounter, as congregants express gratitude for God's word and blessings. Announcements follow, encouraging testimonies, mindful security, and sharing live streams across social media platforms to extend the reach of God's word.

The congregation engages in fervent prayer, seeking transformation and divine intervention. A prayer leader guides attendees to pray for God's glory and fire to fall, emphasizing the protocol for transformation through self-offering as a living sacrifice and renewing the mind. Prayers also focus on God revealing the way out of stagnation and affliction, and for spiritual insight to discern opportunities and avoid pitfalls.

Several powerful testimonies are shared, showcasing God's miraculous work in people's lives. Stephanie from the UK receives a better car than she initially wanted after being obedient in tithing. Bisola shares her story of conceiving a child after years of waiting and receiving an SUV as a gift, celebrating God's exceeding expectations. Helena from the UK testifies to receiving a senior job role with visa sponsorship, resolving her immigration issues after listening to sermons by Apostle Joshua Selman. These stories highlight God's ability to exceed expectations and bring supernatural breakthroughs.

Apostle Joshua Selman emphasizes that there is a sure path to becoming a champion in God's kingdom, leading to consistent victory and dominion. He encourages believers to press into God's will and trust His process, even when it's not fully understood, highlighting that God thoroughly makes men, equipping them with wisdom, unshakable faith, and extraordinary results. He asserts that a clear demarcation will emerge between those who diligently follow God's program and those who mock it, with the former manifesting undeniable glory.

Apostle Joshua Selman outlines five crucial demands for building unshakable, word-derived faith: First, genuine connection to God through salvation, emphasizing that beneficiaries of God's promises are those grafted into Christ. Second, a thorough knowledge of God's promises and the principles of the kingdom, as ignorance can lead to disappointment. Third, understanding and aligning with God's will, which purifies desires and ensures that faith is placed in what God is committed to manifest. Fourth, consistent prayer, both for discerning God's unique will and for partnering with God to bring His known will to pass. Fifth, complete obedience to God's word, as obedience activates His promises and establishes lasting victory.

The sermon concludes with an emphasis on the power of complete obedience, underscoring that obedience is not just about knowing God's word but actively doing it. Apostle Selman shares a testimony of a worship team member who, despite personal tragedy, maintains unshakable faith, and prophetically declares a season of announcement and lifting for the worship team and all believers present. He encourages everyone to embrace the 'doing grace' and expect speedy manifestations of God's promises, culminating in an altar call for salvation and a powerful blessing poured over the congregation.
