0:00 Joshua Selman gives a serious warning to YouTubers, people that twist his teachings, that use his face and change it with AI, people that are creating division in the body of Christ. I guess some of y'all will throw me under that umbrella. All right, let's get into this right now. When they got exposed, they crash lands. But truth stay true. You know, stop it. They try voodoo curses. All them plaction. Now, before we get into the clip I'm
0:48 going to play where he gives his warning, I am going to say I have done a lot of videos on Joshua Selman in the past. I mean, a lot. Maybe 10. That's a lot. Maybe 10. But all those videos I did were focused on concerning doctrines and I actually gave correction. Correction that was needed. Now, obviously, I take no offense to him doing this response. I don't think it was geared towards me. Maybe it was, but it seems like it's it's geared towards people that manipulate his faith in a bad way and push out false teachings that, you know, he uses salt and he promotes salt and for people to pray for salt, pray with salt or people to pray
1:34 with pepper and stuff like that. So, we'll get into this. We'll get into this. Let's go. My attention has been drawn and I need to say this uh publicly to people who use my face and my voice to publish materials that sometimes are inconsistent with our belief, our values, and what we stand for. It's been unfortunate. Um, I've been sent videos where I am purportedly teaching about things related to salt, related to pepper, related to some some, you know, things that people do around their homes. Um, now isn't it foolish? And you have to be
2:20 very careful with that because uh there are people online because of AI, they're taking people's voices uh and they will uh make these videos that are deceptive. And these videos are teaching you to pray with salt or put salt around your home and pepper around your home. And they also did this with Stephanie Okafor. They're also doing this with Joshua Selman. So that is bad cuz that is manipulation. And I don't think that's something that they teach. Especially Stephanie Oakfor does not teach that. But Joshua Selman is addressing this right here. So I want you guys to be careful when you go on the internet and you see that stuff with him talking about salt and stuff like that. That's not him. That is demonic. That is witchcraft. But we're going to keep going. >> That those who do these things know me
3:06 and they cannot listen to the message that will set them free. Are we together now? I know that we are in an AI age. Usually when people say all kinds of things online and I don't I don't waste my time with all of those things. But once it affects if it is to my personality, I I I care less. But once it begins to affect the gospel and affects the growth of believers, now that becomes a concern for me. Um many of those who do these things are not Nigerians. Most of them are across the African continents. And the truth is that for most of them, they're not really looking for teachings. They're looking for traffic. Let me speak for one minute to bloggers, YouTubers. Let me tell you
3:51 this. You can make money with a good conscience. Are we together? You don't have to tear down people because you are looking for traffic. And once they find out that you have the influence, people like you, and people can receive from you, they just get up and put anything. stamp your name, stamp your voice on issues that are not even your business. Quite honestly, they don't care who it blesses or who it deceives. All they want to do is to see that number, that algorithm enough to send something from Google AdSense to their account at the end of and it's not it's not supposed to be. Cool. >> Now, I will say this, he is right when it comes to the man manipulation and the deception of people um using AI to use
4:37 his voice and create division in the body of Christ. But Joshua Summon, one thing I want to say to you is that you have some teachings out there that are deceptive and needed to be corrected. For example, you said I believe uh I think some apostle Peter or apostle Paul uh appeared to you in a dream and told you all the mistakes he made in ministry and you also taught that uh certain things in the Bible are not in alignment with the character of God or some of the things Apostle Paul taught something like that. You've taught a lot of things that are not biblical like like Satan was once the representation of God for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Like
5:24 a lot of different things that you have stated like Apostle Paul permitted a woman or a man to have sex before marriage. things like that, you know, going to the graveyard and talking about your hunger and going to the graveyard of William Branham and taking the grass and doing all these whatever conocations, mixing it and then getting prayed over it. That stuff is a cultic. It's not it's not hunger. It's occultic. But I understand 100% where you're coming from. But there is a need to bring correction and I agree with you. People should not be using AI uh uh to to be deceptive. All right, but let's keep going. Your wealth becomes a cost to you if you bring down the program of God so that
6:10 you can have $100, $1,000 to your pocket. It shouldn't be. Hallelujah. And it's unfortunate some of the people who do these things. If the effect was just on me, I wouldn't really bother. But where you begin to mislead a lot of people, there are people everywhere. They see my photo or they hear my voice, they just trust whatever they hear and they've opened up their heart. That's the implication of influence. And you have to protect the trust that the people have invested in you as a man of God. And so some of these people just pray on opportunities and then take advantage of all of this and begin to use those, you know, those voices, those AI generated things. Um, for those of
6:56 you who are part of this vision, you'll be disappointing if you are deceived because you already know what we stand for. We have made with with clarity beyond confusion what we stand for, the core of our beliefs and how we communicate. but for the sake of those who are sincerely looking for Jesus. You can imagine someone hearing my voice for an example and getting happy that he's found my message. Maybe he was referred to by someone and then they find a deceptive message. I've had people send messages to say, "Apostle, I'm a bit confused uh because my mother or my sister introduced me to your teachings and I was so blessed, but I listened to another of your teachings and what was being taught, it was inconsistent with
7:42 the doctrine of Christ, inconsistent with the way and the pattern, inconsistent with there are things when you hear and see online. Manipulation for gain, that is not me. Tearing down other men of God, that is not me. Insulting the body of Christ for gain, that is not me. Mentioning the names of people to tear them down, that is not me. You never find that not me. Not even connected to this ministry. >> Now, I will say this, you know, I understand what he's saying. All right? But I don't like the word when people just call everything tearing down, tearing down, tearing down. Because, you know, he believes he's an apostle, right? Apostle Joshua Summon. Now, if he's truly an apostle and called to the prophetic ministry, I think at some
8:30 point, you know, him calling out names. I'm not saying he has to, but I I think sometimes certain things that had to be that that need to be addressed, especially with those that he calls friends, people he's in connection with with like Uber Angel, Jerry Easy, people like that. There are some things that he needs to confront doctrinally and he has to say something. If he's not going to name names, he has to call out some oultic divination, wrong teachings, cuz not everything is tearing down. And I I I I know a lot of people love Joshua and I'm not going to speak poorly of him here, but I I wish he was balanced when it when it came to confronting falsehood in the body of
9:16 Christ. that mentioning names is not always about tearing someone down. That doing a reaction video on someone is not always about creating division. I just I pray one day that he'll come to that knowledge of the truth. Are we together? Dishonor to the body of Christ. That is not me. Dabling into political issues without knowledge. That is not me. You don't find me do that because influence is an aggregate of the trust of many people and every leader must learn that when people give you the gift of loyalty you owe it to protect it as you as you do the things that you do as you navigate the political space doesn't mean to speak out when you
10:02 shouldn't when you should but there is wisdom there is a time to speak are we together so I'm saying this openly what will do media I will give the media permission. Please gather all these pages, gather the names of the people. Uh, is that a good idea? >> Uh, we have we have we have the influence to make it happen. So, gather all of these pages, publish their names and the site on Tuesday or Wednesday. So, everybody look out on Tuesday, maybe Tuesday by evening. Uh, you have my permission. body of Christ, let's come and see those who are really trying to sabotage the program of God. And I really mean it. I really mean it. So media, gather, put all of this. >> I don't know what list he's putting out
10:48 there or when he's doing it, but hopefully I'm on I'm not on that list because my desire is not to sabotage, but it's to literally preach the truth, bring correction. Now, there's some times where I probably did it in the wrong spirit. I would say like I would say in the past I've been more like intense and there's times maybe I've mocked but at the end of the day truth is truth >> pages and the names by God's grace we have professionals who work with YouTube and all of this and we need you see sometimes when we keep quiet is not weakness by the mercy of God and by the help that God has given there is no way we cannot access to the highest of the highest of authorities to do the things that we do. But sometimes we become all
11:34 things to all men so that we will win Christ. Silence is not weakness by the grace of God. We have the influence, the resources, the machinery and the spread to create any effect we want to. So when people do a lot of foolish things and goes caught free, it is not victory to them. It's a revelation of their weakness. So we look at them from the lens of compassion. Are we together now? But some of these things should not be abused. So at least for this ones because it has affected the gospel. Oh that one now is not when you once you touch the gospel I'm not your friend again. If you say I'm stupid no problem I am not. Simple. That's the answer. If you say I'm foolish no problem I am not. Are we together now? If you say I'm ble
12:20 no problem I am not. That's just the answer. But if you say Jesus Christ should be a cause that one you have called my attention into a fight that I have to be interested. And if I fight you, you will lose. >> You will lose. It's not pride. Honestly, it's not pride. You will lose. >> If I fight you, you will lose. So, he's basically telling people he got money, he got influence, he got power, and you already know I've already been in a lawsuit before, and I'm not trying to be in another one. My goodness. You believe me? If I fight you, you will lose. You will lose. You will so lose that
13:06 your life will be a memorial to people who so I I'm saying this sorry for sounding proud but I just have a responsibility to do this. Let's let's make sure that we manage ourselves and manage our emotions. Look for money in a responsible way. Bloggers, YouTubers, what other what channels? I don't know some of them. But just don't follow Coonia to find what follow to be blessed. If you don't like us, go away. Go and look for somebody you like. But if you are going to follow, then settle down and listen. You know that's what the scribes and the Pharisees did. They wouldn't let Jesus be. He organizes a crusade. They are
13:52 there, but they will not be blessed. So go away and create space for those who are looking for God. It's all right not to like what we are doing. That's okay. But just go away. Go and find what pleases your convictions and stay there. But do not become an interruption to what God is doing in the life of serious people. Praise the name of the Lord. I think that's a good announcement. Hh. This is partic. >> Now I I I I don't fully disagree with them. I don't fully disagree with them. But like I said before, there are some things that Joshua Solomon teaches without repentance that are extremely questionable. Like for instance, that Adam was not the first man. This whole gap theory thing when the Bible makes it very clear in the book of Corinthians that Adam was the first man. So it's
14:39 either the Bible's lying in the book of Corinthians or Adam is the first man. It's one of the two. Right. It's all right. Particularly for YouTubers and all who use my content and my teachings, it's important for you to know that we give unreserved access to use these contents based on the understanding that everyone who uses them desires number one to preach Jesus and desires to be an extension of this spiritual value that we're sending to
15:24 the nations. Let me make that very clear and there are many who have held on to that conviction thankfully and you would notice number one I have never I don't even know those people most of them that you know there are people who today through the platform of the social media and these teachings God has prospered them and to my joy I am happy knowing that whilst they are serving the purposes of Jesus God is blessing them I'm very delighted knowing that but I need to say this every abuse of content there are many people and the social media is unfortunately a very crazy place people know that every time they drop my picture or content anywhere doesn't matter what they are saying it seems to command the attention of people
16:11 and it's unfortunate the abuses that have happened all over the internet you see that now people crop out messages and twist them into all kinds of things they become objects of division objects of confusion and all kinds of things. And um >> now I would say this Joshua Thman, if someone has corrupted a teaching and took it out of context, I think it's right for you to address it because you taught it. And I know one thing about myself is that I have always played everything in full when it came to the things I disagree with him on. Like for instance, he believed John the Baptist failed in ministry. that John the Baptist was was disobedient. I disagree with that. Some people believe that. I'm
16:56 not saying you're false for believing that. But I don't believe John the Baptist failed in ministry. John uh Joshua someone believes that Apostle Paul appeared to him in a dream and told him all the mistakes he made in ministry. He you know he teaches that Adam was not the first man. But the Bible says Adam was the first man. He teaches that Satan was the image of God unto Adam and Eve and he was like the guardian. He was a repres He was a representation of God to man in some dispensation. Can't find that in the Bible. That's not biblical. He talked about going to, you know, graveyard of William Branham and them anointing him with the grass of
17:44 William. And William Branham in the end of his time, he was a heretic. All right. Diabolical, you know, and they they they grabbed grass and put it in oil and whatever. And they poured it over him and prayed over him. And he also went and prayed with the pictures of these generals. And he was laying on top of pictures and rolling over it asking God to make him a living. There's so many different things that are questionable. And some of our hearts, not all of us, some of us, our heart was to bring correction and to expose the things that are diabolical.
18:30 We are a responsible ministry and I owe it to you to tell you this particularly for those anyone at all with no restraint. We've given people access, you know, to be able to let people reach these teachings because no matter what how much I teach, there's a limit to which I can get the people to listen to. And so as many who can help to push these things, it's a welcome development provided their intent is to help people find Jesus, find meaning and find purpose. For those who are obsessed with coining every kind of thing, by the time your desire to drive traffic for the purpose of profit, >> let me see something right here. He also said it's a waste of time giving to the
19:15 poor that instead we should give to an anointed man of God. 100%. He definitely said that. He definitely said that. I was actually looking at one of my videos. It's uh he he said that. He said uh where is it? It's this video I did here. If you want to rise, forget the poor. right here. It's not really showing, but it's literally right there. It's a if you go watch it, I play the full thing. And he says, "If you want to rise in this life, don't give to the poor, give to an anointed man of God." And that is doctrines of devils. Because the Bible says that he that lends to the poor, he that gives to the poor lends to God and God will repay him. Right? Um and another thing he said was he said that idol worshippers will go to heaven. And if if an idol worshipper never heard the
20:01 gospel, he said that idol worshipper will go to heaven. That video is right here. Right. Right here. >> Joshua Selman says something I am struggling with. Um I disagree with it. This is not a video to expose him, but just to have a >> hold on. >> Let me find it. >> Warlock. Okay. >> Under a certain >> God bless you, Miss T. God bless you, Re. God bless you. Okay. >> Everybody who's died now, whether they died in Christ or not, they are still alive. They are alive in another dimension under a certain set of conditions. To those who are dead in Christ, we call it sleeping because they
20:47 wake up unto life everlasting. And those who are outside of Christ, are we together? If outside of Christ, they have been judged already. Especially for those who had the opportunity to hear the gospel. Now, if you never had the opportunity to hear the gospel and you die, God will use the standard of godliness that was available to you while you were alive, that becomes the standard of judgment. >> Now, I understand what he's saying here. >> Now, wait till we get to the to the idol worshiper part. >> Who will go to hell with that? But it's the next statement that he makes that I I just don't agree with cuz I don't see it in the Bible. Nobody will be banished and who will go to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the gospel.
21:34 I look the a million people statement is that hey I don't see that in the level. Okay. Can't find it right now. So you can just go watch the video to find it where he says um >> okay it's right here >> and for that choice against the Lord you have to face eternal damnation but to the one who sincerely died like an idol worshipper who never had an opportunity to hear a missionary and so on and so forth God will use the standard of morality and righteousness that was present as at when they were alive that becomes the basis of judging them. See
22:20 right there. So he's basically he was basically in insinuating there that an idol worshipper that dies but never heard the gospel, God will judge him based upon the morality that was given unto him. That is not biblical. If you serve another God, whether you hear the gospel or not, there's no way you're going to heaven. There's no way becomes greater than or the only motivation. Please take away my content from your nonsense. Hallelujah. We're responsible people who love Jesus. But there are all kinds of abuses and and as for me it's not a concern for me. But for the innocent sincere people who sometimes they see your pictures, they see your videos and they are rushing there to find Jesus to find life. And
23:05 here are people who they don't mind putting anything. All they want is traffic so that they receive payments from YouTube. If you hurt people, you tell lies, you manipulate so that you have the money. The Bible says the cause of the Lord is in the house of the wicked. Are we together now? Yes. So you must respect the effort, the energy, the discipline, the consecration, the spirituality that brings these teachings. And I want to thank many of you who >> So he's bas he's basically saying that curses will curses can come upon you when you're on YouTube and you're dissecting his teachings. Basically, now I can understand if people are doing things deceptively and twisting stuff and creating fake stuff with his voice.
23:54 But man, this guy has said a lot of things like he had a teaching where, you know, he was saying Judas was not a wicked man. Just all this revelation like this esoteric revelation that can't be found in the Bible. Now, I'm not going to say that he hasn't blessed people. I'm sure he has blessed a lot of people with some of the things that he preaches because he has blessed me with some of his teachings. I want to be honest here. He has blessed me with some of his teachings. And there are certain things where it's like, where did he find this? Where did he find it? Where did the statement come from? I can't It's not Where does it say John the Baptist failed in ministry? Where does it say that you you won't rise or succeed if you give to the poor? Where does it say that, you know, Judas wasn't a wicked man? The Bible says he was wicked, that Satan entered him, that it would have been better if he wasn't
24:39 born. Like stuff like that. All right. have become partners in the spirit and in progress and through your various platforms you've helped people to know Jesus to know what God is doing. May God bless you and lift you in Jesus name. And I'm happy that God is prospering you while you are doing it. At least it's is better than stealing. It's better than all kinds of things. There are people today who have built houses through this contents broadcast. I am happy knowing that from what God has given us, we are not only blessing people spiritually, but people are finding even financial meaning to their lives. But I'm putting a very strong warning and a strong disclaimer. Abuses must stop. Hallelujah. If you're doing your thing online, you can do your thing, but take
25:25 away Coonia and his content from your madness. Don't you? >> Someone said, "I don't think Joshua summon said anything wrong here against scripture." Yeah, I'm in the videos I'm playing right now, there's nothing necessarily wrong with what he's saying here. There's nothing I never said there was anything wrong he said in this in these videos are content as an object to cause division in the body of Christ, frustrate the effort of believers to grow and so on and so forth. It is against our values and is against what we stand for. Hallelujah. So it's very important if you are pro Jesus, if you are pro- healing, if you are pro- destiny, you are a decent person seeking to help people find meaning with their lives and God helps you to use your social media platform, then may God
26:10 bless you. You're welcome. Let the teachings through you bless others and through it bless you and lift you. It's with all joy. But make sure that you do not become a an agent of anarchy, confusion. Okay. Someone says here, "Listen, I understand he is not perfect, but his ministry has blessed, especially his music. Love Apostle Joseph." Yeah, there's some he has some great teachings out there that I used to watch him a lot. I don't watch him anymore. He has some faulty associations, you know, and uh his foundation with like uh TB Joshua and being connected to people like that and kind of the ritual that he did back in the day where he never addressed about going to the graveyard. Once I found that out, I stopped listening to him, right? But I'm not here to attack him as a man. He has
26:56 a lot of questionable things that can be found in the Bible. Um, but I'm not here to attack him. I believe he's blessed a lot of people with some of the things that he teaches, right? But at the same time, let's just leave it at that, causing trouble and confusion, especially to younger believers who are growing. It is unfortunate how the kind of nonsense that the social media sometimes and people >> so someone let's say something here even if he said anything wrong isn't God our judge well the Bible says uh Jesus actually said in John 7:4 do not judge with the Bible says uh do not judge by appearance but judge with righteous judgment that's what Jesus told us to do Jesus told us to judge with righteous judgment Solomon was given the ability
27:43 to distinguish between good and people, good and good and evil. He went into God and said, "God, give me wisdom so I can judge your great people." So God gave Solomon wisdom. He was the wisest person in the earth to be able to distinguish between good and evil. So when we're given the word of God, we are called to we are called to enforce the word of God. Right? The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 4:2, "Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." So when you are teaching, you're literally just teaching what God has said. And when you're rebuking, you're just rebuking what is against God, what what God has said. When you are trying to convince someone, you're convincing them that what this is what
28:29 what is being taught here is not what God has taught. So when when we come with these videos, it's not like we're just it's not like we're condemning him, but we're bringing we're comparing what he is saying with the Bible. >> Who's desperation for a name for fame and they do all sorts of things. So let this stop. We're in a serious business of letting the nation see Jesus. And all those who have access to this content, you must promote them responsibly and make sure that at the end of it, people find Jesus. Don't twist messages, pick one part, put another part to speak a lot of things and and and please be warned. Don't do that. The cause of the Lord is in the house of the wicked. Hallelujah. And when we give disclaimers
29:16 like this, that is not all we can do. We are responsible people who love the body. And um but I want you to know that we have enough influence to produce any effect that needs to be produced. So please be warned. Um silence and silence and maturity should not be mistaken for weakness. Hallelujah. Great people do not tear down others. Great. >> So basic basically guys uh as I'm hearing this this is this is definitely like a warning maybe of a lawsuit. Not I don't believe it's unto me, but I think it's a warning unto a lawsuit um to whomever is distorting his image and is using his voice to
30:02 um create false teachings where he's teaching people how to use salt and pray with dirt and pray with this and that and that and all that different stuff. Um, but for me, you know, I'm just going to continue to um react, preach the truth, do deliverance, mass deliverance, preach, travel and bring correction in love. That's what I'm going to do. Bring correction in love when it comes to theology. My desire is not to attack Joshua Selman or any other person, but to compare what is being said with the word of God, and people also do that with me. Ending verse, Ephesians 4:15. but speaking truth in love may grow up in all things into him who is the head Christ. So that is my that is my goal. That is what I'm
30:48 trying to strive towards to be able to be a servant of the Lord as the Bible says that should not quarrel but to be gentle to all able to teach and be patient. 2 Timothy chapter 2 24. God bless you guys in the name of Jesus.
