The Biggest Risk You Can Take in 2026 by Apostle Joshua Selman · Selah Media House

0:00
The biggest risk you can take your life in this end time is to
0:04
use common sense. You will fail in a way that your
0:07
life will become a memorial for many people.
0:09
Common sense has destroyed people.
0:12
You need divine direction. You can know when God is
0:16
anything and you can know when God is not anything.
0:21
Your spirit has been quickened. You can shake somebody and not
0:27
know why you are feeling the way you are feeling.
0:29
The person is not bad. There is nothing evil because
0:33
the physical realm only taste and feels things that are
0:36
current. Your spirit man can perceive
0:38
tomorrow, today. So you can see someone who is
0:41
very nice today. But your spirit man is fighting
0:44
2026. He's fighting trouble that is
0:47
coming from that relationship today.
0:49
You can't. There is there is nothing
0:51
exactly that should tell you why there is trouble that mean this
0:56
business partner is a very nice person, but your spirit has
1:00
already gone it compassive impulses beyond the current
1:04
level. Let me tell you this.
1:05
That is what it means for the peace of God to protect your
1:08
heart and your mind when you submit yourself to prayer and
1:14
there is turbulence within your spirit.
1:16
Even when there is peace physically, keep praying, keep
1:21
praying. Are we together now?
1:23
Spiritual realities are not like physical realities, and if you
1:27
do not know how to discern, you will.
1:30
There are people today, with all due respect, who have passed on,
1:34
who should have no business dying.
1:37
They did not train this faculty. Are we together?
1:42
They enter the car. Everything around them, the Holy
1:45
Ghost was trying to use everything to tell them, or they
1:49
could not perceive, nor did they have the spiritual intelligence
1:53
to take authority over the situation.
1:57
The quickening of the spirit, the quickening of the spirit.
2:02
You can see someone. Have you met someone before and
2:05
you just connected as if you've known yourself for five years?
2:09
It's because your spirits were prepared already.
2:11
It is only physically you don't know yourself, but in the realm
2:14
of the spirit there is something about destiny and when you saw
2:18
it deep called on to deep. That's how destiny connections
2:22
happen. Let me tell you the truth, if
2:24
you want to wait till you know people physically you are
2:27
carnal, you will pay the price. There's a way you can see
2:30
someone. I know.
2:32
I don't know what it is about this person.
2:34
One day after five years you will meet in France and say I
2:37
saw you somewhere. Yes, truly.
2:40
So you are the one who should help me.
2:49
Judas never said, Jesus, I will kill you one day.
2:52
Jesus saw Judas. Can you imagine working with
2:55
someone every day, knowing that this is a person who will kill
2:58
me tomorrow? He said that, which would do do
3:00
quickly, and he went and did it quickly.
3:05
You see how foolish he was? They've already told you that,
3:08
which you would do do quickly. And the disciples thought that
3:13
Jesus was talking about money issues.
3:20
I cannot tell you how many people have been saved because
3:24
their capacity to discern had been quickened.
3:28
There are people who have missed out on the prophetic program of
3:31
God. God was going left and they went
3:34
right and they stood there wondering, God, where are you?
3:39
God says. I'm on the other side of your
3:41
discernment. You need to pray in this end
3:45
time. There is a way that cement right
3:47
onto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
3:50
The first thing that happens to you when you give yourself to
3:53
prayer is you no more. Interpret life by what you hear,
3:57
by what you see. Look up.
4:00
Many people are defeated today because their principal channel
4:04
for perceiving and interpreting life are their eyes, their ears,
4:09
their brain. If my eyes says it is good, my
4:13
ear says it is good, I feel it is good, I will do it.
4:18
That is a That's a suicide mission.
4:21
There are many good things that will land you in trouble.
4:25
You need to develop other perceptions.
4:28
Are we together? And it does not always have to
4:30
be negative. Sometimes someone can come to
4:33
your company and somebody will tell you this guy is a thief,
4:37
this guy is a nasty person. He's always causing trouble.
4:41
But your spirit man receives him in a way you cannot explain
4:45
because your spirit has seen that there was a prophetic word
4:48
Mama gave on that boy and say, even though you are stubborn
4:52
because you helped me, May God always use you.
4:55
That is the blessing God wants your company to receive.
4:58
So you can see the boy will come.
4:59
He's stubborn, he's not listening.
5:01
But if you can discern and ask God why did you bring this child
5:05
to this house as a house help. One day God will tell you.
5:08
You see bar many things that God gives men does not come in
5:13
packages that are beautiful. It takes discernment.
5:18
Are we together now? Yes, it takes discernment,
5:25
somebody who may not necessarily be that loyal and faithful, but
5:29
one day the person will be a contributor to you at a point of
5:34
desperation. Desperation.
5:38
I know people today who kept supposedly nobody's in their
5:42
houses when they became sick, when they became down.
5:45
Do you know that some of those young ladies, young guys, were
5:48
the people who stood with them? If I made-up their mind that
5:52
even if Madame would die, even if Oga would die, I would stand,
5:55
even when their own children ran away, There was a little girl
5:58
called the Slave Girl. Her mother gave her a name.
6:01
We don't know what her name was, but she went to the House of
6:05
Naman. You think that she went to that
6:08
house on her own as part of the spoils of war?
6:11
No, there was a relationship she had with the prophet, and God
6:16
kept her there because he saw the purity of Naman's heart.
6:21
Now it was up to Naman to listen to the girl.
6:24
It takes discernment. Some of the answers to your
6:28
prayer are in packages that you will never receive.
6:31
If you're walking with your eyes, you're walking with your
6:34
ears. Who is learning tonight?
6:36
You must trust God for grace to discern.
6:38
Because for some of you, the reason why you always fall
6:42
easily is that enemies have found out that your weakness is
6:45
laughter. Anybody that laughs with you,
6:48
even if he said a knife is on his forehead, you say you are
6:50
welcome to my house. Discernment.
6:57
Discernment. Not every kind of kiss is a sign
7:02
of love, huh? There is a kiss that is a sign
7:07
of love, but there is a kiss that is a signal.
7:10
This is the person to die in this family.
7:12
This is the person to go down in this family.
7:15
I pray for you where you have entered trouble on your own
7:18
because your Spirit has not discerned.
7:20
From today, May God sharpen your discernment.
7:25
May God sharpen your discernment.
7:29
Hallelujah, it was God's servant who said as they kept going from
7:33
place to place looking for land for ministry, they could not
7:38
find anywhere. But he got to a place and the
7:41
Holy Ghost told him this is the place.
7:43
It was a forest. Same thing with RCCG, same thing
7:47
with every. There's nobody who went to their
7:49
promised land and it looked like a promised land.
7:52
Every promised land would look like a wilderness.
7:54
It is discernment that makes you to see the unseen.
7:58
Are we together now for somebody the job you are about to quit,
8:02
God is saying stay there not because of the salary, stay
8:06
there because God has orchestrated that by December,
8:10
the helper you see that now you may have been treated bad in the
8:17
place, but stay there now for many people we are controlled by
8:21
salary. When the devil I'm not saying is
8:23
wrong and I'm not being being, you know, on what's the word now
8:30
I, I relate with the pain of people.
8:32
What I'm telling you why many believers get into trouble is
8:36
that they are governed by physical things.
8:39
When the devil wants to move you out of the place of destiny, he
8:42
flags more money for you and you can literally move 10 years
8:46
backward because 100,000 was added to your life.
8:50
God can show you your end and you may never get there because
8:54
you do not know and you do not have the blueprint of seasons.
8:58
Now let me tell you this. What you call destiny is a
9:01
summation of many seasons in your life.
9:05
And if you do not know how to receive the prophetic blueprint
9:08
per season, you will miss out on prophetic moments.
9:12
Let's look at a few scriptures. First Corinthians chapter 2,
9:15
please. 9 and 10 very quickly. First Corinthians 29 and 10 as
9:21
it is written, I has not seen nor ear heard, neither have
9:26
entered into the heart of man. Listen, the things which God had
9:32
talk to me. Koinonia, God had prepared, He's
9:36
prepared them already. There are things, realms,
9:39
dimensions, He's prepared for them that love him.
9:43
Verse 10 the Bible says, but God has to reveal what he has
9:47
prepared. Just because it is prepared does
9:49
not mean it will manifest in your life.
9:51
It is prepared but hidden, prepared but shrouded.
9:55
Are we together? Prepared but closed and sealed.
10:00
It is in the the place of prayer that you afford the Holy Ghost
10:04
the opportunity to reveal it unto you because it is only
10:08
revealed by His Spirit. The Spirit in the place of
10:11
prayer begins to search all things, even the deep things of
10:16
God and those things the Bible says have been ordained for our
10:20
glory. When we pray, we receive the
10:23
blueprint, the prophetic blueprint for every season.
10:28
Please look up. You've heard my story.
10:31
I told you from the time God called me.
10:35
I already saw the vision of nations.
10:39
I already saw the visions of several people.
10:42
But how many of you know that I still would have failed in
10:46
ministry even with that vision? Because when my time in Zarya
10:50
was over, it was not part of the initial vision I saw.
10:53
Where else I will go? Are you seeing it?
10:55
Now? You can have the big picture but
10:59
every season demands you receiving a blueprint that
11:03
guides you for that next level. Honestly, when I knew, I began
11:09
to sense in my spirit by this impulse of discernment that in
11:13
truth, my season in Zarya had come to an end.
11:16
But now whether it was Abuja or it was just or it was America or
11:24
UK, because all of these impulses had been registered in
11:28
my spirit, that Koinonia would find expression in all these
11:31
places. But which is which?
11:34
That one I did not know. If God leads you, one of the way
11:38
you will know He's leading you is He will never show you
11:40
everything. No, it is page after page.
11:45
Don't think He will give you the book and say go.
11:48
You have to refer to Him again. I've exhausted page 5 and it
11:53
says prepare for page 6 and you will have to submit yourself
11:56
again. Some of you started well, but
11:59
you are about aborting the next season because you made a blind
12:02
assumption that just because Page 1 to 5 has been executed
12:06
well, it means that the remaining will work well.
12:13
I began to pray every day, sincerely investing in the place
12:18
of prayer. Lord, for the sake of your name,
12:22
let me know miss out on the next level.
12:25
Where do you want? I'm telling you, if I had my
12:28
way, I'm not sure it's Abuja would come.
12:30
No. Are we together now?
12:34
Lovely place. I love the place, but maybe I
12:36
would have gone somewhere else but in the place of prayer and
12:40
you would think because God was sending me.
12:43
Remember what I told you? I used to wonder why it takes
12:47
God a while to answer. And let me tell you, if you're a
12:50
person of faith, you need to balance your understanding of
12:53
faith with this thing I just taught you.
12:55
If not, you'll be frustrated. It is not every time God gives
12:59
immediate answers and it does not stop him from being God.
13:02
There is profit in process and when God finds that in the life
13:06
of a believer, He will withhold answers intentionally to produce
13:11
capacity and produce power. I remember praying and weeks
13:18
turned to months and I was praying and one day as always, I
13:23
was praying my usual prayer and the vision was open before me
13:28
and I didn't hear anything. All I saw was the map of Abuja
13:32
and I knew that was it. I remember rejoicing, I said
13:36
finally some of you would have said God, so his final is now.
13:40
Why did you now waste my time when I'm already in the Abuja?
13:45
Always see what you have become before the answers came.
13:49
Always see what you have become. God is more interested in what
13:52
you become than the answer you receive.
13:54
Did you hear what I said? God is more interested in what
13:57
you become than the answer. If God answered me after day
14:02
one, maybe I will not have this kind of result to the of God.
14:07
Do you know why? Because sometimes when answers
14:10
come and your flesh is still alive, you will think it was a
14:13
dexterity, your level of spirituality.
14:16
There is a level of brokenness. There are times God does not
14:20
answer till you make certain personal covenant resolutions
14:23
with Him. He will wait until the day you
14:25
get angry as OK God, I'm telling you, if you finally give me this
14:30
money, I'm the one telling you as I obtain grace.
14:32
Then the answer comes. So this is what you were waiting
14:35
for. You would have told me.
14:38
Telling you would not make you do it.
14:40
The human being, aside from the dealings of God is is also a
14:46
master of deception, even to yourself until God prunes you,
14:51
He cannot trust the things you say because you've said many
14:54
things that you did not live up to it.
14:56
You asked him to kill you. He knew you were playing.
14:59
You would have died a long time ago.
15:01
You were so emotional, you wanted the result.
15:08
Oh God, I'm telling you, just give me a job.
15:11
God said pray, please pray. I've already seen your heart,
15:15
seen your heart give me a job, even if it's the I'm going to
15:18
say no, I want to make you a multi millionaire.
15:21
But I have checked your family tree and I've seen the
15:24
tendencies of pride and the tendencies of flesh.
15:27
And because of the way enemies have insulted you, if I give you
15:31
10 million, 100 million in this state, you will first leave me
15:35
and flog it on the face of those who did not.
15:37
So let me kill that self. Yes, Sir, occasionally you will
15:45
share the prayer and try to act in the flesh, then fail woefully
15:50
and return back in repentance and say, God, I'm here.
15:52
He says, I'm still waiting, let's pray.
15:54
But if it is me that will prosper you, something in you
15:57
must die. And by the time you get to a
16:01
point where one day you will read the Scripture and say, God,
16:04
I don't care again whether I prosper or I don't prosper.
16:08
Whatever happens, I'm telling you that As for me, and I will
16:11
follow you for the rest of my life.
16:13
Somebody suddenly calls you and says God spoke to me in January
16:18
and you say in January. You are only obeyed.
16:21
Now my brother, I suffered from January till October because of
16:26
your disobedience. As funny as what I'm saying is,
16:33
this is how it works. There is an invisible hand that
16:38
has withheld many answers because the version of you now
16:42
it will be a risk to your destiny for those answers to
16:46
drop. Therefore, you pray to receive
16:48
the blueprint. It was in the place of prayer.
16:51
God brought the vision of sound of revival.
16:53
It was right now I'm still praying and saying, Lord, how do
16:56
you want it to be? Because I'm not going to assume
17:00
that just because we did it the way we did it, we parted the Red
17:03
Sea by the message of God. But how do you want it this time
17:06
around? Do you want us to walk on water
17:09
or do you want us to get a boat? If you stand before seven
17:13
rivers, here, God for the seven rivers is the reason why the war
17:19
struggles. They have one result today.
17:21
They cannot produce another one tomorrow because of assumptions.
17:25
Listen, your prophetic blueprint is sealed.
17:28
It takes engaging in the place of prayer.
17:31
And let me tell you this, prayer reveals and prayer purifies what
17:36
you saw. Prayer does not just reveal, but
17:40
it purifies. There are many times you will
17:45
see things, both the ones God showed you and the ones that
17:49
came out of emotions. Are we together now?
17:53
Getting up to execute what you saw will leave you in pain.
17:56
Just because it came from the place of prayer does not mean it
18:00
came from God. You have your will.
18:03
You are still being transformed. Who is learning there are many,
18:07
many things that you would think is God that told you submit
18:11
yourself to prayer and you will be shocked.
18:13
You have to tell God sorry because at the end of it you
18:16
will find out that all that confidence of saying it was God
18:19
is not God. That's why you must be careful
18:23
in the Kingdom. Arrogance is dangerous.
18:26
There are many statements that you make us.
18:28
I know what God told me and then later God says OK call my son.
18:33
Honestly, it's not me. You were in pain.
18:38
This seed that you raised, you felt in your spirit.
18:43
It was me. But it was a mix of pain and
18:46
rent and other issues that led to that thing.
18:51
It was not me at all. And then if you are broken, you
18:53
can say God, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
18:56
Or you can say God, no, I know I had you and he said me that this
18:59
is God. I'm telling you I'm not the one
19:01
who spoke. You are still saying I'm the one
19:02
who spoke and remain here and many people remain stunted
19:07
there. Prayer does not just reveal the
19:10
blueprint for your destiny, it purifies it because while God is
19:15
speaking, it comes through the lens of your mentality, the lens
19:19
of your mind, and many other information can be added that
19:23
did not come from the throne. It is prayer that purifies it.
19:27
Eventually you will see that God said do two programs.
19:31
The vision came so powerfully flesh added five more programs
19:35
and God says reduce it, reduce it.
19:37
The remaining 5 is not me. It's not me God, but based on
19:40
what I'm seeing, I'm already seeing myself.
19:43
It is not me. And then eventually you will see
19:47
his wisdom. I hope you are learning tonight
19:50
the blueprint. Only God knows how many things
19:53
I've had to cancel in my daughter that I would have been
19:58
convinced that it was God when they came.
20:00
Now I have grown. It doesn't matter what I see or
20:04
hear. I write it and it becomes my
20:07
place, my prayer point. I have to take it to the
20:09
threshing floor. Are we together now?
20:11
If God says organize a program next week.
20:14
I will write that vision. You ask the leaders.
20:17
There are times you can see me come with a lot of energy and
20:20
tell you our guys, there's something good, and then you see
20:22
me keep quiet. The leaders already used to.
20:24
Once they see me keep quiet like that, they don't even bother.
20:28
Since that you, you mentioned that we're going to Russia the
20:32
other time, What happened? I'm not ashamed to cancel
20:38
anything that I see that is not God.
20:40
It's cheaper to say sorry than to be disgraced 1000 times in
20:45
destiny because of pride. Are we together?
20:50
See, when you walk like this, your activities will not be
20:53
many, but your winning percentage will be so high.
20:57
Almost everything you do produces extraordinary results.
21:02
Extraordinary results. There are people who will do 50
21:05
things before they win 3. They keep failing in everything.
21:09
Then after 10 activities, wasting money, wasting time.
21:14
If you lead the people that way, they will leave you alone
21:17
because they've already mastered that.
21:19
Something is wrong with your hearing.
21:20
Let me tell you this, if you wanted to be a leader that
21:23
commands followership, you are not God, but you must learn how
21:27
to hear God. If you move people left, I will
21:31
say sorry, I thought it was right.
21:32
They now go right. They now go left, they will love
21:36
you, but they stand back and say please, let's leave this guy as
21:38
he goes right and left. He, he loves God, but it's clear
21:41
that he doesn't know where he's going and people turn and look
21:44
for direction. I'm praying for you in the name
21:46
of Jesus. I don't know what is next in the
21:49
script of your destiny, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, my
21:54
God will reveal it to you expressly the next script of
21:59
your life. Let it be revealed for you and
22:04
hear me, where you have already assumed A blueprint that is not
22:09
in your blueprint. Whether it came by flesh, it
22:12
came by emotions. I pray from my heart for you.
22:15
May God give you the courage to cancel and shelve it now.
22:19
Cancel and shelve it now in the name of Jesus Christ.
22:29
If you are working with God, you must have the flexibility that
22:34
when you realize that this is not God.
22:37
I know somebody who made-up his mind.
22:39
He sent me a text one day, you know, just maybe 3 or 4 years
22:43
ago that God asked him, you know, to build a house for his
22:47
family. And I may not know everything
22:50
about God, but I know how God works.
22:53
He said this guy does not have the capacity to do that kind of
22:55
thing. And I, I know how God works.
22:59
I said, no, this is not. But the gentleman, you know,
23:01
took a step of faith and when did this borrowed money got into
23:05
all kinds of trouble. After a long time, I didn't hear
23:08
from him. He now reached me and said I
23:09
should pray for him. God, as you know, he doesn't
23:11
understand this thing about God. Again, he's really frustrated.
23:14
I said, my friend, it is not God.
23:16
It is your confusion about him. And right now you are bleeding,
23:22
you are in trouble. They will soon jail you.
23:25
The way out is to go to God and repent.
23:28
Are we together? Repent and say, Lord, you've met
23:31
me in the middle of the fire. OK, I'm sorry.
23:32
Don't leave me there. Don't leave me there.
23:37
Some of you. Now one of the there is the gift
23:40
of pain. But let me tell you this, most
23:43
people's pain is an indication that you are out of out of the
23:47
will of God. Don't fight the pain.
23:50
Use it as a check to go back and say, God, why is my life
23:54
difficult? Why are simple things unusually
23:58
hard for me? It may not necessarily be
24:01
demonic. It may just be that the hardship
24:04
is a testament that you are outside of the will of God.
24:08
Again, I pray for you, the blueprint for the next level of
24:11
your life. May God release it upon you.
24:17
Is someone learning tonight? By God's grace, I have
24:22
sufficient financial intelligence by the message of
24:24
God. But I will tell you this, the
24:27
biggest risk you can take in your life in this end time is to
24:30
use common sense. You will fail in a way that your
24:34
life will become a memorial for many people.
24:36
Common sense has destroyed people.
24:39
You need divine direction. The unbeliever who is doing
24:42
business is not under attack because he's serving Satan.
24:46
You who has vowed to God that you will not bribe, you will not
24:49
kill, you will not be corrupt, you are the one whose testimony
24:52
Satan is interested in. You need divine direction.
24:55
Someone say divine direction. Never take a step until you get
25:01
clarity of direction. Write that down.
25:03
Never take a destiny step until you get clarity of direction.
25:08
1st Corinthians 10 and verse 13. Let's hurry up.
25:12
First Corinthians 10 and verse 13.
25:16
I feel like starting ministry. You see BA this direction
25:21
sometimes is not just limited in showing you where to go.
25:25
This direction is also showing you how to escape trouble.
25:29
When Jesus was teaching us how to pray, He said lead us not
25:34
into temptation or delivers from evil.
25:37
You know what temptation is anything that can have a hold on
25:41
you and trap you down. He says there had no temptation
25:46
taken you, but such as is common to man.
25:49
Listen. But God is faithful who will not
25:53
allow you to be tempted above that which you are able to.
25:57
But with that temptation, He will make a way to escape, a way
26:04
to escape, a way to escape. That means when people put a
26:09
snare for you, to trap you down in life, to trap you down in
26:14
ministry, if you know how to pray, there is no snare of the
26:18
Fowler that shall ever lay sway on you.
26:21
I'm telling you, if the devil puts a trap for you and you
26:24
actually go in and enter there, it's because you did not
26:27
maximize the riches that come in prayer.
26:32
Are we together? Let us set this trap so that
26:38
when he comes, he will fall into it.
26:41
In ministry fall into it, in destiny, fall into it.
26:46
And because you are directed by the Spirit, the Bible said the
26:49
steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord in the office.
26:53
They orchestrate something and leave it for you just when
26:56
trouble is brewing. They've been praying so that
26:59
they trap you and take you out of that place now, plus
27:03
discernment, plus your prophetic destiny.
27:05
And now you have direction. You will be surprised.
27:08
Most of us lack direction, and you must pray.
27:13
Ladies and gentlemen, direction does not come after one day of
27:16
prayer. You will need to pray until it
27:18
comes, but when it comes, you will obtain grace to run.
27:22
You will run like Elijah when you have direction.
27:24
I'm praying for you. Every confusion in and around
27:28
your life in the name that is above all names in this season.
27:32
May my God grant you direction as you submit to pray.
27:37
May my God grant you direction as you submit to pray in the
27:42
name of Jesus Christ.
