Apostle Joshua Selman reveals the simple secret and condition Christ gave him regarding his ministry.
God's vessel Apostle Joshua Selman has revealed the secret and condition behind his success in the ministry. According to Church Gist, this was made known in the Apostle's birthday message for this year.
In the message he admonished the body of Christ to return back to the purity of heart, by desiring the good of all within the body of Christ. "We must return to the purity of heart. Genuinely desire the good of all and the good of the Body," Selman mentioned.
He warned against rejoicing about the ruination of the body of Christ by those within the system, saying "do not wish for, anticipate and even support the downfall or destruction of anyone in the Body of Christ (Luke 2:14, Galatians 6:10). Don’t sit down and wish for any church, any man of God, any ministry and assembly. You anticipate evil and rejoice when it happens, that is lack of purity of heart."
The Apostle pointed out that the reason God uplift people to the celebrity status in the ministry is because when they arrive at such a high ranking place in the minds of men and women, they should provide an opportunity for people to see Christ through them.
Explaining further that this is the condition Jesus Christ gave to him regarding his ministry, and this secret his what he has held on to. "You’ve heard me say it countless times that, years ago, the Lord told me and said, “Son, if you will let men see me (Jesus Christ), there is nothing I will not give you.” Very simple condition, to let men see me (Jesus Christ).”
"My one desire, my greatest purpose in life is not to be a good Preacher. My greatest desire in life is not to be a celebrity, no! My greatest desire in life is not to have the largest church or ministry.
"In all fairness, my greatest desire is that I am able to use my life and even my lifetime, as a drink offering to be able to reveal Jesus to my generation and to bring Him glory and then, to also inspire a generation to love, to serve, to seek and to pursue Jesus. No matter what else works in my life, if this fails, I failed. But no matter what fails in my life, if this works, I won.
"This is the template that governs my life, more than some of the things that drive us, it is the reason why you will notice that respectfully speaking, I am very disconnected to several things that seem to itch people in our generation. It is the extent of my determination to live a life that allows Jesus to be revealed and glorified. God has so worked in me honouring that desire and disconnected me from several things that seem to be an obsession for people.
"Beyond personal ambitions, beyond the desire to outshine, beyond the desire to be successful and celebrated, we must seek to see Jesus revealed and Jesus glorified as our highest and our greatest purpose," Selman declared.
