LET US PRAY – PART THREE (THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT)
Apostle Joshua Selman | Koinonia Global Sunday Service – February 15, 2026

Opening Welcome
“Therefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.” Romans 15:7 (KJV)

If this is your first time worshipping with us, we are delighted to welcome you. On behalf of God’s servant, Apostle Joshua Selman, we celebrate you and pray that tonight’s service marks the beginning of new dimensions in your walk with God.

Scripture Foundation
1 Timothy 2:1-4 (KJV)
1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Core Teaching: The Rules of Engagement in Prayer
In this season, God is raising real intercessors. Men and women are rising with grace for prayer—individuals who will change the order of things, enforce the will of God, and establish His counsel in families and territories. The program of God is at risk where trained and properly mentored intercessors are absent.

Corporate Prayers
– Lift your voice and pray over your territory. Declare the reign of righteousness and the defeat of every form of wickedness, in the name of Jesus Christ! Declare that only the counsel of God will prevail in your territory.
– Proclaim that the Church of Jesus Christ will never go down in your territory, that the spiritual life of the people within that territory will remain vibrant and unstoppable, in the name of Jesus Christ!
– Father, let my prayers produce tangible results in my life and across my territory, in the name of Jesus Christ! I declare a new season over my prayer life and my destiny, in the name of Jesus Christ!
– In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree and declare that every activity, every occurrence, and every influence in my life, my family, finances, and health, that is inconsistent with the will of God, it stops now, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Altar Call for Salvation
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 (KJV)

Salvation is God’s greatest gift to mankind. If you desire a new life in Jesus Christ, say the prayer of salvation in faith and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour.

Salvation Response
DID YOU JUST RECEIVE JESUS? Congratulations and welcome to God’s family! We rejoice with you on this glorious decision. Kindly send us a message via the form so that we can walk with you on your new journey of faith. We love you!

Prophetic Declarations
– For your shame, receive double of God’s glory! Every garment of shame and disgrace, we tear it off right now, and we replace it with the garment of praise, in the name of Jesus Christ!
– Let laughter multiply for you in this season! I declare: you will laugh this week, in the name of Jesus Christ!
– The yoke is broken! The siege is broken! Again, the yoke is broken! The siege is broken!
– I pray for you, may you experience the kind of testimony that you have not had in the last decade. I decree and declare: this week, step fully into that testimony, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Thank you for worshipping with us tonight. We pray that the encounter you received remains evident in your life and produces lasting testimonies. Stay connected with us throughout the week across all our platforms. God bless you!

KOINONIA GLOBAL – SUNDAY FEBRUARY 2026

FULL PROGRAM COMMENTARY AND DECLARATIONS

Theme: Step Into A Higher Dimension of Glory
Speaker: Apostle Joshua Selman
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18

---

PART ONE: THE INVITATION TO GLORY

The Call to Gather

On Sunday, 15th February 2026, Koinonia Global convened across two major centres—the Mississauga Convention Center in Ontario, Canada, and the Chida Event Centre in Abuja, Nigeria—with thousands connecting online from nations around the world . The atmosphere was charged with expectation as believers gathered for what was declared not merely a church service, but a divine appointment with the God who transforms.

The invitation was clear: “Step Into A Higher Dimension of Glory.” This was not a slogan but a prophetic summons to leave behind the familiar and venture into deeper realms of God’s presence and purpose .

The Scripture Foundation

Apostle Selman anchored the gathering in 2 Corinthians 3:18:

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

This scripture reveals the divine order: beholding leads to becoming. What you gaze upon, you gradually resemble. When you fix your eyes on Jesus—not on your problems, not on your circumstances, not on your limitations—you are supernaturally transformed into His image .

---

PART TWO: THE TEACHING – UNDERSTANDING GLORY

What Is Glory?

Apostle Selman taught that glory is not merely a concept or theological abstraction—it is the manifest presence of God. When Moses encountered God on the mountain, his face shone with reflected glory. When the priests dedicated Solomon’s temple, the glory of the Lord filled the house so intensely that they could not stand to minister. Glory is the weighty, tangible presence of the Almighty that changes everything it touches .

Glory is the visible manifestation of God’s invisible attributes. It is His beauty revealed. His majesty displayed. His presence experienced.

The Progressive Nature of Glory

A key revelation from the teaching was that glory is progressive. The scripture says we are changed “from glory to glory” . This means:

• You are not meant to stay at the same level of spiritual experience. God is always calling you higher.
• Each encounter with God is designed to elevate you. Yesterday’s encounter prepared you for today’s transformation.
• What satisfied you last season will not satisfy you this season. There is always more of God to experience.
• Complacency is the enemy of glory. Those who think they have arrived have stopped moving.

The Requirement: Open Face

Apostle Selman emphasized that glory requires an “open face.” Many approach God with veiled hearts—hidden, guarded, protected, afraid to be fully known. But the invitation of Koinonia is to come with unveiled faces, fully exposed, fully vulnerable, fully expectant .

Veils represent:
– Fear of exposure
– Unbelief and doubt
– Hidden sin and compromise
– Religious pretense
– Woundedness that leads to withdrawal

When you remove the veil, you position yourself for transformation. The more openly you behold Him, the more deeply you are changed.

The Result: Transformation

Beholding leads to becoming. This is a spiritual law. What you gaze upon, you gradually resemble . If you constantly behold your problems, you become overwhelmed. If you constantly behold your limitations, you become discouraged. But if you behold the glory of the Lord, you are transformed into His image.

Transformation means:
– Your character begins to reflect His character
– Your priorities align with His purposes
– Your perspective shifts from earthly to eternal
– Your countenance carries His presence
– Your life produces His fruit

PART THREE: PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS FOR THE WEEK

During the service, Apostle Joshua Selman released powerful prophetic declarations for the week beginning 16th February 2026 . These declarations are not mere wishes but spiritual realities waiting for our agreement.

Declaration of Excellence

“I speak the blessing over your life. Let this week be a week where you will see the practical value of what you learned. In the name of Jesus Christ, your week will be so excellent.”

This declaration connects spiritual growth to tangible results. What you have learned in previous seasons will now produce visible fruit. Your spiritual investment will yield practical returns.

Declaration of Discernment

“You will discern seasons, you will discern men, you will discern spirits. In the name of Jesus Christ.”

Discernment is a critical gift for navigating these times. Apostle Selman declared that this week, you would:
– Recognize the season you are in and respond appropriately
– Identify the people sent to help you and those sent to hinder you
– Detect spiritual activity and distinguish between the genuine and the counterfeit

Declaration of Favor and Lifting

“Enjoy favor. Enjoy lifting. Enjoy testimonies. Enjoy open doors. Again, enjoy favor. Enjoy liftings. Enjoy testimonies. Breakthroughs. Open doors. The gift of men. In the name of Jesus.”

Notice the repetition: “Enjoy favor. Enjoy liftings. Enjoy testimonies.” Repetition in prophetic declaration establishes certainty. This week would be marked by:

• Favor – unmerited kindness from God and man
• Lifting – promotion, elevation, being raised to new levels
• Testimonies – stories of God’s faithfulness that encourage others
• Open doors – opportunities that were previously closed
• The gift of men – divine connections with people who carry your destiny

Declaration of Removed Shame

“Shame is far from you this week. Disgrace is far from you this week. You are going from glory to glory this week. Divine ideas come to you from the spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ.”

Shame and disgrace are weapons of the enemy designed to silence and immobilize. But this week, they are far from you. Instead:

• You are moving from glory to glory—progressive transformation
• Divine ideas are being downloaded into your spirit—creative solutions, strategic insights, breakthrough concepts

Declaration of Surprise Gifts

“The Lord will give you a gift this week as a token of His mercy. The Lord will give you a gift this week as a token of help. The Lord will give you a gift this week as a token of mercy. In the name of Jesus Christ.”

God is not just a God of wages—He is a God of gifts. This week, He would give tokens of His mercy and help. These gifts are:
– Tokens of mercy – unearned, undeserved expressions of His love
– Tokens of help – practical assistance in areas of need
– Surprises that remind you He sees you and cares for you

Declaration of Confounded Enemies

“And everyone who has looked forward to your downfall, may God answer them this week. In the name of Jesus Christ.”

Those who have been waiting for you to fall will be disappointed. God will answer them—not by harming them, but by lifting you. Your rising is their answer. Your testimony is their confusion.

Declaration of Marking for Greatness

“I mark you for greatness. I mark you for safety. I mark you for lifting. I mark you for honor. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.”

This is a prophetic act of marking. Like a shepherd marks his sheep for identification, Apostle Selman marked the congregation for:

• Greatness – significance, impact, influence
• Safety – protection from harm and evil
• Lifting – elevation to new levels
• Honor – respect, dignity, recognition

PART FOUR: THE THEME FOR 2026 – DELIVERANCE AND EXEMPTION

The Revelation of the Theme

During the Koinonia Abuja Sunday Service on January 18, 2026, Apostle Joshua Selman released the theme for the year: “The Year of Deliverance and Exemption” .

He emphasized that while the end times present significant perils (Isaiah 60:2, 2 Timothy 3:1-4), God provides a distinct promise of victory and protection for His people .

Understanding the Two Concepts

Apostle Selman carefully distinguished between two related but distinct concepts :

Concept	Definition
Deliverance	God rescuing you from a negative situation you are already in
Exemption	Divine prevention; being preserved from the negative occurrence altogether

Both are operational in 2026. For some, God is delivering from existing challenges. For others, He is granting exemption—keeping them from experiencing the trouble entirely.

Scriptural Foundations

Apostle Selman anchored the theme on multiple scriptures :

• Psalm 34:4-7, 17-20 – Promises of God’s deliverance and angelic protection for the righteous
• Psalm 107:2, 6 – The call to declare deliverance and God’s power to bring people out of distress
• 1 John 5:4 – The victory that overcomes the world is our faith
• 2 Corinthians 2:14 – God always leads us to triumph in Christ
• 1 Corinthians 15:57 – Thanks to God who gives us victory
• Isaiah 43:1-2 – God’s promise to be with His people through fire and flood, ensuring they are not overcome
• 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 – The spiritual weapons to pull down strongholds and bring every thought into obedience to Christ

Keys to Experiencing Deliverance and Exemption

Apostle Selman provided clear, practical keys for walking in this reality in 2026 :

1. Cultivate a Vibrant Relationship with God (2 Timothy 1:12)
Make developing intimacy with God a primary goal for the year. Knowing Him personally is the foundation for experiencing His protection.

2. Commit to a Life of Prayer and Declaration (Matthew 12:37)
Specifically fight against prayerlessness. Your declarations based on God’s Word are spiritual weapons that navigate you out of negative situations.

3. Grow in the Knowledge of the Word (2 Peter 1:2)
Pursue spiritual intelligence to combat ignorance and fear, which are entry points for negative influences.

4. Guard Your Life Deliberately
Reject every thought, word, and confession that contradicts God’s promises over you. Fear is highlighted as a “magnet” for negative possibilities.

5. Live in Expectation and Obedience
Engage deeply with the weekly teachings and be swift to obey every spiritual instruction received.

PART FIVE: PRAYERS FOR THE WEEK

Based on the teaching and declarations, here are prayers to pray throughout this week:

Prayer for Glory Transformation

Father, I come before You with an unveiled face. I remove every veil of fear, doubt, unbelief, and pretense. I behold Your glory through Your Word, through worship, and through the revelation of Your Spirit.

Transform me from glory to glory. Let me not remain at the same level. Elevate my capacity to see You, know You, and reflect You. Let Your glory rest upon me and shine through me.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer for Practical Value

Father, I receive the declaration that this week I will see the practical value of what I have learned. Let every teaching, every revelation, every insight produce tangible fruit in my life. Let my spiritual growth manifest in visible breakthroughs.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer for Discernment

Father, give me the gift of discernment this week. Help me to discern seasons—to know when to move and when to wait. Help me to discern men—to recognize helpers and avoid hinderers. Help me to discern spirits—to distinguish between the genuine and the counterfeit.

Open my spiritual eyes. Sharpen my spiritual senses. Let me not be deceived or misled.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer for Favor and Lifting

Father, I receive favor this week. Favor with God. Favor with man. Favor in my workplace. Favor in my family. Favor in unexpected places.

I receive lifting. Elevation. Promotion. Being raised to new levels of influence and impact.

I receive testimonies. Stories of Your faithfulness that I will share to encourage others.

I receive open doors. Opportunities I did not create. Access I did not earn. Entrance I did not deserve.

I receive the gift of men. Divine connections with people who carry my destiny and help me fulfill my purpose.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer Against Shame and Disgrace

Father, I declare that shame is far from me this week. Disgrace is far from me. I will not be embarrassed. I will not be humiliated. I will not be put to shame.

Instead, I am going from glory to glory. Each day, I am transformed more into Your image. Each day, I reflect more of Your beauty.

Divine ideas come to me from the Spirit. Creative solutions. Strategic insights. Breakthrough concepts. I am not stuck; I am advancing.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer for Surprise Gifts

Father, I receive the gifts You are sending this week as tokens of Your mercy and help. I open my hands to receive. I open my heart to recognize. I open my eyes to see.

Thank You for surprising me with Your goodness. Thank You for reminding me that You see me and care for me.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer Against Enemies

Father, regarding everyone who has looked forward to my downfall, I trust You to answer them. Let my rising be their answer. Let my testimony be their confusion. Let my success silence every accusation.

I do not pray for their harm, but for Your vindication. Lift me so high that their arrows cannot reach me.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prayer for Deliverance and Exemption

Father, I receive both deliverance and exemption this year. Where I am already in a negative situation, deliver me completely. Where danger is approaching, grant me exemption—preserve me from experiencing it at all.

I walk in the victory that overcomes the world—my faith. I triumph in Christ always. I give thanks to You who gives me victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

When I pass through waters, You are with me. When I walk through fire, I will not be burned. No weapon formed against me shall prosper.

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
