His Childhood & Family Background
Apostle Joshua Selman was born on June 25, 1980. Though he is originally from Langtang in Jos, Plateau state, he spent most of his life in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Subsequently, this exposed him to the rich culture of the northern parts of the country.
As a young child, he had the privilege of being raised by godly parents who trained him in the way of the Lord. And also sets the tone for his future calling and ministry in the kingdom.
In an exclusive interview, Selman revealed his grandfather was the first president of the Church of Christ in Nations.
In the same connection, during one of his Koinonia meetings, Apostle Selman reveals his goals and wishes for his parents:
“I have many goals in my life, by the grace of God, and I set one of those goals strangely as a little boy. And the goal was that one day, as God allows, through my life, the nations in my lifetime and their lifetime we will be able to stand and celebrate my wonderful parents.”
Educational Background
Though his primary educational background is not known, Apostle Joshua Selman attended a secondary school headed by an Anglican priest who enforced strict moral and religious discipline in the students.
Christian Gists gathered that Joshua Selman studied under Archbishop Benjamin Argak Kwashi, a revered Anglican priest. At that time, the school doubled as a seminary, where they were introduced to salvation, Bible doctrines and other Christian practices.
Consequently, this early encounter played a huge role in wetting the ground for the fulfilment of God’s plan and purpose for his life.
After finishing his primary and secondary education, Selman Joshua went to the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he studied Chemical Engineering. After bagging his Bachelor of Science Degree, he went into full-time ministry.
Apostle Joshua Selman’s Ministerial Background
As you might have noticed, Selman had a religious heritage as a child. For a fact, he got saved during a Sunday School class. As an intelligent chap and young child in Christ, he grew fast in the word of God and things of the spirit; he devoted much of his time to reading, studying and meditating on the Bible.
Also, as a product of mentoring, Apostle Joshua enjoyed direction, counselling, and empowerment. His teachings and public engagements also reflect that he is a product of godly impartation and positive influences.
The ministry of Apostle Selman Joshua, however, took a new dimension when he received the holy ghost baptism. Not only did he win many souls for God, but also embarked on a streak of healing and deliverance sessions.
There was, however, a time when he became a victim of heresies and backslide. But God, who would have him to his divine will, showed up in a divine revelation. This encounter (which happened on December 2nd, 2002) left Selman in a sorry state and he rededicated his service back to God.
As a young man, Apostle Joshua Selman became passionate about evangelism, healing, deliverance and revival. His ministry blossomed during his undergraduate study at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, so much that he gained more clarity on the plan of God for his life and ministry.
In March 2011, he founded the Eternity Network International (ENI), an unconventional ministry operated and guided by the leading of the holy spirit. He also organises and leads a Koinonia service that attracts participants from different parts of the world.
