Apostle Joshua Selman Urges Ministers to Restore Honour and Unity in the Church — ‘Dishonour is Silently Weakening Our Power

At the 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), renowned preacher and founder of Eternity Network International (ENI), Apostle Joshua Selman, delivered a heartfelt call for renewal within the Church. In a stirring address, he lamented the rising tide of criticism and rivalry among ministers, warning that such attitudes have quietly eroded the spirit of unity and love that once defined the body of Christ. “Honour,” Selman declared, “is not about blind loyalty or empty praise; it is the recognition of God’s grace upon another and the humility to celebrate it.” His words, drenched in both conviction and compassion, echoed across the hall as he urged leaders to reexamine their relationships, emphasizing that dishonour—if left unchecked—can cripple the Church’s witness and weaken its authority in the world.

The message struck a deep chord among the hundreds of senior pastors, ministry leaders, and believers present, many of whom responded with visible emotion and renewed commitment to reconciliation. Apostle Selman’s charge wasn’t merely a sermon—it was a prophetic reminder that the Church’s strength lies not in competition, but in collaboration. As the PFN marked four decades of advancing the gospel, Selman’s message served as both a rebuke and a roadmap—calling the next generation of ministers to rebuild the foundations of humility, honour, and unity upon which true revival stands.
