From Overlooked to Outstanding
Tolulope O. (Lagos, Nigeria)
I am an online member of Koinonia Ministry and have been following the ministry since 2014. Through the life, teachings, and ministry of Apostle Joshua Selman, I have been greatly blessed and transformed. However, despite being consistently blessed by the ministry, I had never participated financially in any of its programmes. It was not because I did not believe in giving or that I was not a giver. Rather, I probably did not fully appreciate what I had been missing.
But recently, something changed. When the ministry announced its new projects at the recently acquired property and encouraged members to give as they were led, I felt a strong prompting in my heart to sow a seed towards the project. The ministry’s account details were shared, and Apostle prayed over the seeds. That was it. For the first time, I gave financially to the ministry. I did not give as a bargain or with the expectation of an immediate return, even though I believed I was sowing into fertile spiritual ground. I simply responded to the prompting in my heart. Little did I know that, within a matter of days, I would experience something that would leave me overwhelmed with gratitude to God.
For much of my ten-year career, I have often felt overlooked despite my diligence, hard work, and commitment to excellence. From my school days through my professional journey, I have always been hardworking, yet the visibility, recognition and rewards I hoped for had often seemed elusive. Recently, I experienced a significant transition in my career. After working at the branch level and reaching a point where I had almost resigned, my resignation was eventually declined and I remained in the organisation. Four months later, God opened a new door for me to be redeployed to the head office in a completely new role. This transition came with a new environment, new responsibilities and even more demanding supervisors. Given my previous experiences, I knew I needed God’s help to navigate this new season successfully.
From the very first day, I committed the role to God in prayer. I became intentional about my walk with Him, holding firmly to the altar of prayer while maintaining the highest standards of diligence, dedication, and professionalism. Many evenings, I would retire to my secret place at 6 p.m. to pray for an hour before returning to work and continuing until about 8 p.m. I knew that this new assignment would require God’s grace, wisdom, and strength. I was determined to succeed and I remained steadfast in prayer and hard work.
On Wednesday, 7 October 2026, our organisation held its group-wide quarterly town hall meeting. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Group Managing Director announced the introduction of a new award category known as the Quarter Star Award. Previously, the organisation had presented an annual award, but this was the first time a quarterly version was being introduced. He explained that there were two candidates for the July–September quarter. As I listened, something stirred within me, and I had a strong feeling that I might be one of the recipients. Nevertheless, I tried not to get ahead of myself. Then my name was announced first. I was completely overwhelmed. What made the moment even more remarkable was that I had only resumed work at the head office in my new role on the first working day of August, barely two months before the award. Yet the Group Managing Director proceeded to speak about my work and contributions for approximately twenty minutes, highlighting how I had embraced a new role outside my previous area of experience and demonstrated ownership, leadership, and commitment in such a short period.
Brethren, I could hardly contain my emotions. Tears filled my eyes because, for the first time in my ten-year career, I felt genuinely seen and recognised for my efforts. And this recognition came from the very head of the organisation.
It was a deeply moving moment for me. The experience reminded me that God can cause a person’s work to speak for them and bring recognition in places where they least expect it. I became the star boy, all to the glory of God! To crown it all, I received the highest cash gift I have ever received in my life—an amount many times greater than the seed I had sown just a week earlier. I was overwhelmed by the timing and magnitude of the experience. I had not given with the expectation of receiving an immediate reward, yet I could not help but marvel at how everything unfolded.
Looking back, I am deeply grateful to God for His faithfulness. I recognise that my career journey has involved years of preparation, hard work, prayer, and perseverance. I do not take any of these for granted. However, the timing of this experience, coming shortly after I responded to the prompting in my heart to give towards the ministry’s new project, has left a profound impression on me. I am grateful for the ministry, for the life and teachings of our beloved Apostle, and for the spiritual nourishment I have received over the years. This experience has further strengthened my desire to participate in the work of the ministry as God grants me the grace and resources to do so.
Going forward, I trust God for the grace to continue giving cheerfully and willingly towards the advancement of His work, not as a transaction or an attempt to bargain for blessings, but as an expression of gratitude, faith, and partnership with His Kingdom. My testimony is a reminder to me that our labour is not in vain, that God sees our efforts even when human recognition seems distant, and that we must continue to trust Him through every season of our lives. To God alone be all the glory.
A Testimony of God’s Faithfulness, Divine Wisdom and Supernatural Debt Cancellation
Tamieka A. (Houston, Texas, USA)
I have returned to give all the glory, honour, and praise to our Heavenly Father for His faithfulness, mercy, and the manifestation of His wisdom in my life. I have been following Apostle Joshua Selman and Koinonia Global for over four years now. The very first message I listened to was Apostle’s teaching on “The Mystery of Altars.” That message marked the beginning of a deeper journey in my understanding of God’s Word, spiritual principles and the mysteries of His Kingdom. Over the years, my life has been tremendously blessed through the teachings on the knowledge of God, superior wisdom, spiritual understanding and the importance of obedience to divine instructions.
I am a registered nurse residing in Houston, Texas, USA. Over the years, I accumulated more than $100,000 in student loan debt. Through Apostle’s teachings, I began to understand that there is a dimension of wisdom that comes from our Heavenly Father, one that surpasses human understanding. I began earnestly seeking The Lord, praying that His perfect will would be established in my life and asking The Holy Spirit for divine direction. One day, while engaging in prayer, The Holy Spirit gave me specific instructions concerning my student loans. I obeyed immediately, without revealing those instructions to anyone. I simply trusted God and followed His leading. On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, I discovered that ALL my student loans had been cancelled. More than $100,000 in student loan debt – COMPLETELY CANCELLED!
What a faithful Father we serve! I stand in awe of the goodness, mercy, and wisdom of God. What once appeared to be an overwhelming financial burden has been lifted! I have returned to encourage someone who may be facing a situation that appears impossible: There is always a way out with God! Never underestimate the power of divine wisdom and obedience to the instructions of The Holy Spirit. I have returned, like the one leper who came back to give thanks, to acknowledge that Jesus Christ alone deserves all the glory!
Thank you Apostle Joshua Selman, for your obedience, sacrifice and commitment to revealing the knowledge of God and the mysteries of His Kingdom. Your teachings have continually encouraged me to pursue intimacy with God, seek His wisdom and walk in obedience to His Word. May The Lord continue to increase His grace, wisdom, strength and anointing upon your life and the entire Koinonia Global family. To God alone be all the glory, honour and praise!
Jesus Christ is Lord! Hallelujah!
Testimony of Divine Preservation
Hanotu W. (Glasgow, United Kingdom)
I write to return all the glory to God for His divine protection and preservation of my life. Two days ago, on the night before I was due to travel, I was packing my bags to leave for the airport. While packing, I was praising God and listening to music when, suddenly, I heard The Holy Spirit ask me a question: “Where is your mantle?” To be honest, I did not immediately understand what it meant because I did not think I had a mantle. The only person I knew who spoke about mantles was my wife, so I began to wonder what The Holy Spirit was referring to.
Then another thought came to me: “Your mantle is your Koinonia wristband that you got from the Sound of Revival conference in Glasgow.” Immediately, I became restless and began searching for the wristband. I could not settle down or sleep properly because I was determined to find it, especially as I had a flight to catch that morning. Eventually, I found it, but it was broken. Since I could no longer wear it on my wrist, I put it in the pocket of my jeans and continued my journey.
The following morning, I travelled by train from Glasgow to Edinburgh to catch my flight. When I arrived in Edinburgh, I was in a hurry to get to my Uber. I was on the phone with my wife, who had booked the Uber for me, and in the rush, I momentarily forgot that there were trams operating in Edinburgh.
As I was crossing, I came dangerously close to an approaching electric tram. A tram is similar to a train because it is a heavy, rail-guided vehicle that runs on tracks, but it often operates on roads alongside pedestrians and other traffic. Because of its considerable weight and momentum, being struck by one could result in catastrophic injuries or even death.
Thankfully, I was carrying my suitcase in my right hand. The suitcase struck the tram, and that impact helped prevent me from moving further into its path. The force was so significant that the tram screeched, and I was thrown back from it. In that moment, I realised how narrowly I had escaped what could have been a fatal accident. God had preserved my life! Looking back, I cannot help but think about The Holy Spirit’s prompting the night before. I may not fully understand everything that happened, but I am deeply grateful that God kept me alive and brought me out of that situation.
I am testifying because I know that it could have been a completely different story. I could have been seriously injured or even lost my life, but God, in His mercy, preserved me. I give all the glory to God for His love, His mercy, and His divine protection. I am grateful to God for the gift of The Holy Spirit and for the grace to recognise His prompting. I also want to thank God for the ministry of Apostle Joshua Selman and Koinonia, through which I have continued to grow spiritually and encounter the presence of God. May the name of The Lord alone be glorified, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
Testifying of the Favour of the Lord in My Marriage
Solange (Canada)
For years, my husband and I struggled financially. Our business was unpredictable, and we had no stable income. Eventually, we decided that my husband would look for a job to help bring some stability to our family. For months, he applied for every position he could find, but nothing came through.
Eventually, he reached out to a family friend who works for a well-known construction company. The friend told him he would need two standard industry safety tickets to get started and that he would have to work as a labourer on a two-weeks-on, two-weeks-off rotation, meaning he would be away from his family for two weeks at a time.
Although the thought of being separated from us was painful, my husband was determined to do whatever it took. We needed stability, and we didn’t see another option. We didn’t even know how we would pay for the safety tickets, but God provided! Not only did he get the two tickets he needed, but he went on to obtain 10 safety tickets! He submitted his résumé to the hiring manager at the company but never received a response.
In the meantime, my husband decided to pursue his Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, one of the most challenging professional certifications to obtain. We prayed, and he passed his PMP exam with an Above Target result! From obtaining his safety tickets to passing his PMP exam, everything happened within approximately six weeks.
Then, God began to open another door in the most unexpected way! One day, while chatting with our neighbour, my husband casually mentioned that he had completed all 10 safety tickets. Our neighbour shared this with her husband, who is the manager of the service department at one of the world’s leading machinery rental companies. Her husband then told the branch manager to look out for anyone with my husband’s name and consider speaking with him.
A couple of days later, during our evening walk, we ran into our neighbour’s husband, who told us that he had already put in a good word for my husband with the branch manager. We were so touched that he had gone out of his way to advocate for him! The following day, my husband went to the branch, met the manager in person, and handed him his résumé. The manager was so impressed by his qualifications that he could hardly believe my husband would want to work for their company. They almost felt as though he was doing them a favour by applying!
During the interview, the branch manager revealed that he would be retiring in the coming year and saw my husband as a potential candidate to eventually take over his position. On top of that, although the company had a standard starting salary for the position my husband was offered, the manager instructed HR to increase his starting salary because of his qualifications! My husband is now working in an office, not as a labourer, and he doesn’t have to leave his family for two weeks at a time!
We cannot thank God enough. He has done exceedingly more than we imagined or could have asked for. What began as a desperate search for financial stability has turned into an opportunity far beyond what we initially hoped for. We give God ALL the glory for His favour upon our lives. Truly, He has taken sides with us! We are deeply grateful to God for His faithfulness and for the grace He has given us in this season. May this testimony encourage someone to keep trusting God, even when the way forward seems uncertain.
Finally, we want to express our sincere gratitude to Apostle Joshua Selman for his teachings, which continue to bless and strengthen us in our walk with God. May the Lord continue to increase His grace upon Apostle Joshua Selman, strengthen him, and grant him greater dimensions of revelation and understanding as he continues to serve God’s Kingdom. To God alone be ALL the glory!
Healing of My Sight and Restoration of Faith
Dinabeth E.
I write to testify to the healing power and faithfulness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
What started as a slight eye twitch gradually developed into blurry vision, constant twitching in both eyes, pain, tearing, and a feeling of heaviness in my right eye. I was told it was due to stress and lack of sleep, but even after resting, the symptoms only worsened. I planned to see an optometrist, but due to financial constraints, I had to postpone the appointment.
For a long time, I had stopped expecting God to answer my own prayers. Although I believed in Jesus, I kept bringing the same prayer requests before Him without seeing results. So, during Miracle Services, I would simply pray and receive for others.
After the September Miracle Service, I scheduled an eye appointment for the following Wednesday. On Tuesday, while speaking with a friend about it, The Holy Spirit reminded me to check when I had last experienced the pain, blurry vision, or eye twitching. That was when I realised that, from the day of the Miracle Service, every symptom had disappeared. Jesus had completely healed me without my even realising it. This miracle restored more than my eyesight; it restored my faith. It reminded me that God sees me, cares for me, and never gives up on His children. I give all the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.
God Restored My Passion for Him, Healed My Body and Made Me Whole
Mary (Kenya)
I am grateful for the privilege of sharing my testimony. First, I want to testify about restoration. After I lost my husband, I thought I would never find my way back to Christ. I had lost so much, and somewhere in the process of grieving, I also lost my passion for God, my prayer life and my hunger for His Word. But as I listened to Apostle Joshua Selman’s teachings, God began restoring those things in me. He restored my prayer life. He restored my passion for Him and for His Word. He restored parts of me that I thought were gone forever.
My second testimony is about my womb and the issue of blood. Throughout the 12 years of my marriage, I was infertile and had experienced early menopause. For 12 years, I did not have a monthly cycle. Even during those years, I continued believing God for the miracle of having a child. However, my husband passed away before I could experience that breakthrough. Two years ago, I developed a growth in my womb that caused me to bleed continuously. I literally became the woman with the issue of blood. I remember listening to Apostle’s message last year when he spoke about the woman with the issue of blood. He said something that stayed with me: she was not an irresponsible woman. She had tried everything. She had gone to doctors. She had done everything she knew to do. I cried to God and said, “Lord, even if I wanted to try another doctor, I don’t have the means. If You don’t heal me, I have no other option.” Besides the strength I was losing, I was also concerned that I might eventually lose my womb. I prayed for months, but the bleeding did not stop. Eventually, I came to a place where I said to God, “Even if this stays, I will still worship You.”
Then I prayed what, at the time, felt like a crazy prayer: “Whatever chooses to stay in my body will worship the God of heaven with me.” I would wake up in the morning and talk to the growth and the bleeding. I would say, “You are still here. As long as you are here, we will worship the God of heaven together. And if that makes you uncomfortable, you are free to go.” And I worshipped as if my life depended on it. Then, in September 2025, I watched and prayed through the “Complete Deliverance” message series and Apostle encouraged us to fast after one of those messages. After 72 hours of a total fast, at about 3am, I woke up with a deep stirring in my spirit. I got up to worship, and something compelled me to go to the bathroom. When I got there, the entire growth passed out of my body. That brought the heavy bleeding to an end. From that time, I began having a regular monthly flow. It has now been about a year, and I have continued to experience a normal monthly cycle, something that had not happened even when I was a teenager. I return all the glory to God.
Then came the September 2026 Miracle Service. Throughout that week, I had been experiencing severe chest pain, heaviness in my chest, and a headache that I could not explain. So, when I tuned in to the Miracle Service, I expected healing. When Apostle said that someone would begin to cough and the heaviness in their chest would leave, I genuinely expected that person to be me. But I did not cough, and nothing happened. Then Apostle began praying for sick people. I remember being deeply moved with compassion to the point of crying. I saw how many of God’s people needed healing, and it pained me to realise how many of them truly had no other option if God did not show up for them.
I began praying in tongues and interceding while Apostle laid hands on the sick. By the time we finished praying for the sick, I had not even noticed when the chest pain, heaviness, and headache disappeared. To this day, my chest has remained free of pain and heaviness, and the headache is gone. I am back to being active and even exercising, with no pain or discomfort. I return all the glory to God.
Apostle, thank you for allowing God to use you so mightily. Thank you for being part of the restoration God has brought into my life. You have no idea how much my life has changed simply by sitting under your teachings and learning, especially learning how to build capacity and command victory in every area of my life. Through your teachings, I feel that God has reintroduced me to a dimension of Himself that I had forgotten. You have reintroduced me to the God who sees me. The Father to the fatherless. The Husband to the widow. The Healer. The God who knows no impossibilities. Thank you Apostle. Thank you Koinonia. Above all, all praise, honour, and glory belong to our God, Who sits on the throne for ever and ever.
Complete Healing from Incessant Cough by a Prophetic Word
Cynthia K. (Ghana)
I have come to give God all the glory for His healing mercies. My son is one and a half years old. Since he was born, we had never had to take him to the hospital. He was doing very well until he was about one year and three months old, when he developed a severe cold. We took him to the hospital, and he recovered. However, after that illness, he began waking up every morning with incessant coughing. The coughing lasted about 30 minutes, sometimes longer. I became very worried and tried everything I could to help him. I made sure his room was well-ventilated and free from strong smells. I also gave him warm baths and massages, but nothing seemed to change.
Then I remembered Apostle Joshua Selman’s teachings on mindsets and the importance of speaking into every situation. I held on to the Scripture, “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so” (Psalm 107:2), and whenever my son coughed, I would reject the cough and declare healing over him. Even when it became severe, I refused to give in to fear and continued proclaiming God’s healing power. During the August Miracle Service, Apostle prophesied that every incessant cough would cease.
What made this experience even more beautiful was that I could not watch the service live on Sunday, so I watched the rebroadcast.
When I heard Apostle mention my son’s situation, I immediately keyed into the prophecy, prayed, and received it by faith. My son was asleep at the time. People of God, to the glory of God, when my son woke up, the incessant coughing had stopped! I did not hear that persistent morning cough again. A few days later, the cough returned for a few minutes, and I felt that fear and doubt were trying to creep in. But I continued declaring that the devil was a liar and that my son’s healing was permanent.
To the glory of God, the incessant morning cough has not returned, and I have come to give God all the glory! I am also grateful for Apostle’s teachings, which help us build our faith, renew our minds, and learn to speak God’s Word over the situations we face. To God alone be all the glory! Amen!
Gratitude & You Are Next!
We return all the glory to God for these mighty works of recognition, debt cancellation, divine preservation, favour, healing of sight, restoration of passion and body, and complete healing for a child. Jesus is still at work! Celebrate Jesus! Hallelujah!
