1. A Double Testimony of Fruitfulness and Divine Favour
Chidogo O. (Canada)
In March 2025, I listened to “The Mystery of Deliverance Series Part 4” by our Father, Apostle Joshua Selman. On that particular day, he declared that if a person had been believing God for a baby, they should begin to thank God for the baby. I took that word seriously. My husband and I had been married for many years without a child. We had gone through several medical procedures, including IVF, but nothing worked. That day, I began to thank God in advance for our baby.
In May 2025, during the Miracle Service, Apostle mentioned that he was seeing a vision of a woman with twins. He went on to explain that this might not necessarily mean twins but could also signify a new job, a new opportunity, or a double portion. I received that word and continued praying with the Miracle Service prophecy every day, believing God that the August 2025 Miracle Service would be my month of double testimony.
Towards the end of July, I received an invitation for a preliminary telephone interview for one of the jobs I had applied for. I went for the interview, and a few days later, I was invited for a physical interview. Among the many applicants, I was shortlisted. During the interview, one of the panel members asked me about my family, and I boldly declared that I was expecting twins. They all looked at me in surprise, but I held on to the word.
A few days into August, I noticed unusual movements in my womb. I went for a scan, and to the glory of God, the doctor confirmed that I was carrying twins! We continued declaring that we were expecting twins and had already named them. On the 19th of August, during the Miracle Service, Apostle prayed for those expecting the fruit of the womb, and I keyed into it by faith.
On the day of delivery, there was a complication, and the first child was born not breathing. The medical team worked on the baby, and after several minutes, the baby started crying. The second baby also came out safely. To the glory of God, both babies are strong and healthy!
I am a career labourer with continuous contracts one after another. People of God, with the doctor’s report and everything going on, we had no idea how we would manage financially with twins. But God came through for us in a powerful way. The week of the babies’ arrival, something new happened: people from all over the world began sending us money, and our account kept receiving transfers. We had never experienced such a financial open door before.
My testimony did not end there. After I gave birth, I felt that every Miracle Service was specifically for me. I kept declaring and holding on to every word. During the Canada SOR, we spent hours at the nursing station trying to ensure that the first twin got enough food. I also committed him to God, praying for healing from whatever was affecting his feeding. We had even taken him to the doctor twice, but on both occasions, the doctor said he was fine and could not find anything wrong with him.
During the October Miracle Service, I was fasting and was about to break my fast just as the service began, but I changed my mind and decided to break it after the Miracle Service. I held our son’s feeding as one of my prayer points because he had refused to eat a reasonable quantity of food since the previous day. Saturday morning, while preparing for the service, I carried him up and declared healing upon him. Shortly afterwards, Apostle mentioned that there was someone experiencing an appetite problem, and I received it with an Amen.
After the healing prayers, Apostle encouraged us to do what we had previously been unable to do. I went ahead and prepared food for my son, in an unusually large quantity. As I brought the feeding bottle close to his mouth, he quickly grabbed it and sucked until he finished everything — to the glory of God!
I continued repeating Apostle’s healing prayers at midnight, and this past week has been the best feeding week we have ever had. He now cries for food and takes very large quantities at each feeding. I have returned to say: Thank You Lord! Thank you Apostle! Thank you Koinonia family!
2. And the Word Came to Pass!
Busola
I write with a heart overflowing with gratitude to God, giving Him all the glory, honour and praise for what He has done for me. Some time ago, during one of the Sound of Revival conferences, Apostle Joshua Selman gave a prophetic word that September would be a month of open doors for someone, and that the person would receive an amazing letter of invitation. I keyed into that word, believing it was for me.
I immediately held on to that prophetic word. I received it by faith from September about 8 and began preparing myself. When I saw the dates for the conference, I began to look for what to do something extraordinary. I had almost forgotten that I had applied for settled status (Indefinite Leave to Remain) in the United Kingdom. I applied in 2023, and it was already remembered for a tragic event in American history. God turned that into my gift of joy and celebration for me.
At around 2 p.m., I was in my kitchen in the UK, preparing lunch, when I received an email from the Home Office. When I saw the subject of the email, my heart began to race with excitement. I almost did not open the email because of the solemnity surrounding the date (it was already remembered for a tragic event in American history). Eventually, I summoned the courage and opened it, and behold, it was the Indefinite Leave to Remain approval letter from the United Kingdom!
After all the waiting, praying, hoping and believing, God had finally made it happen. I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I have waited for this for so long, and God has done it. I give all the glory to the Trinity — Father, Son and Holy Spirit — for this testimony concerning my life. Because of this, I am now free to go to any country of my choice without restriction. Glory to God!
Thank you Apostle Selman for the Holy Spirit and faithfully sharing what God places in your heart. Thank you for your consistency and for making yourself available. I am also grateful for Koinonia and the teachings I continue to receive every Sunday. Thank God for the privilege of being part of this family. This testimony has delivered me from the limitation of sitting under those teachings.
I am a living proof that when God speaks, it is done. I applied for this application that has taken considerably longer than the published processing time, yet I remain grateful. I am thankful for the privilege of being able to sit under these teachings, and I look forward to sharing more of God’s goodness. For now, I just want to say: Thank You to God alone be all the glory, honour and praise, in Jesus mighty name. Amen!
3. Three Years of Recurrent Neck Swelling Healed After the Miracle Service
Dorcas L.
I write to bless the name of The Lord for what He has done for me. The Lord is good, and this is marvellous in my eyes! I had been battling a growth in my neck for over three years. Initially, the area beneath my neck would swell from time to time, and sometimes the swelling would subside. Later, it moved to the side of my neck and began to increase in size. It would become swollen and filled with pus, and sometimes bleed. Occasionally, the swelling would burst, releasing its contents before flattening out, only to begin swelling again.
This condition was very painful and embarrassing for me because people kept asking what was wrong with me, and I had no answers. I visited the hospital once, and the doctors mentioned a condition beginning with “lympho” although I cannot remember its exact name. They prescribed medication for me, but nothing seemed to work.
During the October Miracle Service, Apostle Joshua Selman mentioned that there was someone with a swelling on the neck that was not a goitre, and he declared that it should go down immediately. I shouted “Amen!” and received the word because I believed it was for me. To the glory of God, that exact day the swelling went down, peeled off, and the swelling went down! Since then, it has not swollen again or accumulated pus, and I have experienced no further pain in that area.
Thank You Jesus! Thank You Jesus! Thank You Jesus! It had not been easy. God is mindful of me. I am so unworthy, yet The Lord is mindful of me. Thank You Jesus for loving me. I am so unworthy, yet The Lord is mindful of me.
You Are Next!
These testimonies are proofs that God is still working mightily among His people. Hold on to every prophetic word, engage the keys of faith, thanksgiving, and obedience, and watch God turn your story around.
We declare that you are next in line for a divine visitation, in Jesus’ name!
To God alone be all the glory.

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV) _
Weariness is an event that befalls anyone, once you’re a human on earth. However, waiting on The Lord is a strategy for the renewal of strength.
What Does Tarry Mean?
To “tarry” means to “linger”, to “wait”, and it extends to meaning, to “stay longer than planned or proposed”.
SCRIPTURES THAT ENCOURAGE THAT WE TARRY
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” – Psalm 27:14 (KJV)
“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.” – Lamentations 3:25-26 (KJV)
“Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.” – Micah 7:7 (KJV)
“Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.” – Psalm 25:4-5 (KJV)
To Wait From A Biblical Perspective
Waiting upon The Lord means the following:
- Fellowship that builds intimacy, conviction, strength, and power.
The discipline and the patience of staying to align with divine timing and prophetic seasons. (Romans 8: 25, Psalm 27: 13-14)
To assume the posture of dependence, dependence of trust, and dependence of wholehearted reliance on God for directions, next level strategies, and the power to function.
The various spiritual activities that you engage in, during your time spent with God, especially prayer and fasting.
There is a timing to prophecy; there is a timing to walking with God. We must not think of just fellowship, but also the discipline and alignment required for fellowship, until we come into divine timing.
Waiting can be a waste of time, it can lead to defeat and pain because there’s a condition to waiting. Your waiting is only guaranteed to produce profit, if that wait is upon The Lord.
Our waiting is only guaranteed to produce profit, if that wait is upon The Lord. Waiting can be a waste of time, it can lead to pain and defeat when done wrongly. It is only when it is unto The Lord that it produces profit. Waiting on The Lord edifies the Believer
🎶I look to Yahweh
Yahweh
My hope is Yahweh
Yahweh
Forever Yahweh
Yahweh🎶
Waiting on The Lord is a principle, but we are not left with principles alone upon the earth, because principles only work when dark spirits do not manipulate the process.
The balance is that when we become irresponsible and wait on God to do everything for us, it is a false waiting on God that is guaranteed to leave you in pain.
🎶Tell me what I can do
I can’t live without You
I can’t live without You🎶
God’s obsession is to be trusted. He is THE FORCE that powers principles. Before we explore principles, we should ensure our hearts are stayed on Him as The Force that powers principles.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he shall direct thy paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
__
You can make your intelligence your source, by having an overestimation of self, arising from an over-dependence on your intelligence.
When you’re intelligent and you depend on God, that dependence will power your intelligence to bring you profit.
DECLARE: “I will wait upon The Lord”
The Unprofitable Side Of Waiting That Leads To Pain:
- You can wait on, that is rely on, and invest your trust and expectations in human connections, making them your source. (Psalm 60: 11-12).
You can wait upon your intelligence and ideas. That is, making your intelligence and ideas your source. (Proverbs 3: 6-7)
Invest in knowledge and be skillful, but when all is said and done, know that it is not in the abundance of knowledge, but through a dependence on God.
(Ecclesiastes 9:11)
Place your hand on your chest and pray:
- Lord, purify my heart and prune my motives!
Lord, show me mercy, so that wealth will not become a curse, and lifting will not be my downfall!
Lord, work on my heart!
Most times, we see the manifestation and the effulgence of the glory, but we hate the process that births that glory.
The more purified your vessel is, the weighter the measure of glory you will carry and manifest.
Tarry! Until flesh dies.
Tarry! Until ambition dies.
Pray: Father, by Your Spirit, work on me as The Refiner’s fire, work on me like the potter works on clay. Refine me, purify me, and work on me until I am whole, in the name of Jesus Christ!
🎶I will hold on through the storm
I will hold on to Your Word
My life will soon reveal
You’re The Lifter of men
The Lifter of men🎶
Please pay the price, tarry and allow God to work on you. The kind of destiny and wealth you have seen in the spirit is true and is possible, but the current version of you cannot get there.
You will need to tarry and understand the depths of the power of God.
When your prayer doesn’t get answered, stop praying about the issue of concern, and start praying for yourself.
Many answers to prayers are growth-dependent. You can accelerate your answer by evolving.
It takes buying and selling to attract wealth, and it takes strength to retain wealth. (Proverbs 11:16)
When your prayer does not get answered beyond a certain level, stop praying about what you are praying for, and start praying for yourself, for growth and stature. The faster you change, the quicker the answer; accelerate your answers by evolving in a hurry. Many answers where designed to answer to growth.
There are many things we are praying for that only responds to growth. The reason why you picked the signal for the need-inspired prayer is because it is originally in your destiny.
🎶Do a work in me
Purify my motive
Till You’re all they see🎶
🎶You made a way
When our backs were against the wall
And it looked as if it was over
You made a way
And we’re standing here
Only because You made a way🎶
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” – Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
__
The root Hebrew word for “renew” in the scripture is to swap, and to exchange.
Waiting affords a spiritual person a more comfortable interpretation of things.
Do you have the maturity to wait for the glory of God as you go through a negative situation? This is called, light shining out of darkness.
🎶My Treasure, my Priority
Who can compare to You
Great is the measure of Your royalty
Oh, Morning Star, You truly are everything
Oh, You’re everything to us, Lord🎶
Pray: Lord, I exchange my pain for Your glory; I exchange my limitations for Your strength, and I exchange my tears for Your joy.
🎶You move mountains
You cause walls to fall
With Your power
You perform miracles
There is nothing that’s impossible
And we’re standing here
Only because You made a way🎶
Pray: Father, take away my pain and give me joy! Take away my disappointments, in Jesus name!
🎶There’s a light I see
Inspite of the darkness that surrounds me
And the light that I see only comes alive every time I hear Your voice
There’s a joy that I have
Inspite of all the sorrow that surrounds me
And the joy that I have only comes alive every time I hear Your voice🎶
🎶I’ve come in the volume of the books
It was written about me
To do Your will o God
I will do Your will
Do Your will
Do Your will o God🎶
Why Tarry And Why Wait?
- Waiting upon The Lord provides the platform for the making, the refining, and the remolding of the person who desires to be used by God. It allows God to minister to the Believer as The Refiner, The Maker, and The Purifier.
We have all kinds of motives, ambitions, and desires locked up within our hearts, so waiting allows God to prune our motives, until all that is left is to please God.
- Waiting is a place of exchange. It is a place where your weaknesses are exchanged for strengths, and your limited human perspective is exchanged for a more superior perspective and interpretation of things. (Isaiah 61: 2-3).
Waiting is a place of revelation and divine downloads, where mandates, patterns, and strategies for your life and Kingdom assignment are delivered. (Psalm 24: 4-5, Jeremiah 33: 3).
It is dangerous to experiment your life and destiny with every idea or that which is trending.
Ways to hear from God:
- Revelation of His will from the Scriptures.
Revelatory ministry of The Holy Spirit.
Through the prophetic; the prophetic means dreams, visions, impressions of the prophetic.
Waiting prunes our motives, until our hearts and minds are inclined to glorifying Jesus. This is where flesh and self die, so that your character is inclined to Christ.
Waiting is the place of exchange, where divine transactions happen. You gain stature and capacity to host a tremendous display of God’s power in the place of waiting. (Isaiah 40:31)
🎶Holy Spirit, You are welcome
Fill this temple with Your presence
Holy Spirit, You are welcome
Fill this temple with Your presence
We wait on You
Lord, we wait on You
We wait on You
Lord, we wait on You🎶
