Encounters | Apostle Joshua Selman at HOTRJOS | Day Two Morning Session
God has no business in what is happening to many people; we are receiving the fruits of our ignorance.
We must search for the principles of the kingdom that is required for the outcome we desire.
It takes more than going to church. You must encounter the word of God, then you will learn His ways.
Merely searching for anointing without knowledge makes you small in life. Desire separates you, but it is knowledge that gives you authority in this Kingdom.
Col. 1:9.
May the Lord plant in your life an appetite for Wisdom.
There are 3 blessings you enjoy when you encounter the Word:
1. The blessing of understanding. Luke 19:42
I detest ignorance and I am not ashamed of areas of my life where there is ignorance. I ask God to reveal to me areas of my life where there is ignorance so that I may contend for knowledge.
Spiritual understanding is a miracle. Just because you are educated does not mean you understand spiritual things.
2. The second blessing encountering the Word is Faith.
Romans 10:17
Real faith works and produces result.There is something that calls faith into your life. Faith is a product of encounter with the word.
We define faith as the name given to the action we take based on your conviction of who God is and understanding God’s word.
Until action is engaged, you have not manifested faith. The awareness of the possibilities does not bring the results; you must understand the conditions attached to it.
Just believing and speaking will not give you your results; until actions are taken, you have not manifested faith.
Every dimension of result in the kingdom will require a role to play.
There is a responsibility component as far as dominion in this kingdom is concerned.
Understanding your identity is a call to a settled sense of confidence.
Let your identity be defined by what God has said about you, not any other opinion.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FIND YOUR GIFT:
1. Identify it
2. Refine it
3. Serve

FOLLOWERS OF THEM (The Advantage of Models & Patterns) – Apostle Joshua Selman (Koinonia Abuja)
PRINCIPLES OF PROFITABLE FOLLOWERSHIP
1. Profitable followership demands genuine connection and followership. Never follow an individual you cannot truly be committed and loyal to; it is a disservice to yourself.
2. Followership becomes profitable only when the learner or the follower remains a student. (Luke 6:40)
3. Profitable followership must factor in the limitations of the vessels that they follow. Never expect godlike perfection from the people you follow, you will be disappointed.
Guiding Principle for Models, References, and Pioneers:
_
All models must remain students themselves and never have an arrival mentality. The way models remain models is by continuing to be students while being models.
_
Humility is an antidote for shame and embarrassment.
THIS IS THE GENERATION: THE MAKING OF MIGHTY MEN BY Apostle Joshua Selman
What will make our generation different from other generations is not merely our prayers, fasting, or spiritual activities, it is a product of humility, alignment, and through an election of grace, that we receive delivery of the supernatural power of God from the realm of the Spirit, where it resides to the realm on earth where it is needed.
In essence, we do not pay the price Jesus Christ has already paid for us on the cross, we pay the price of alignment to receive delivery of what has been paid for.
