BIOGRAPHY - Apostle Joshua Selman Nimmak
Apostle Joshua Selman hails from Langtang in Jos, Plateau state, Nigeria. He
was however raised and schooled in Zaria, Kaduna State.
He received an early calling to serve God and got born again as a child,
during a Sunday School session. In his Secondary school days, God brought a
mentor his way who helped him draft a quiet-time time table and also taught
him the basics of Christian character. The supernatural manifestation of Gods
power in his life not only attests to the fact that his call is genuine, but that
he is a product of diligent study of scriptures and encounters with the Holy
Spirit.
This really helped as he had complex issues and also the challenge of how to
reconcile his dreams with all he was seeing around him. Therefore, he was
opened up to the motivation that he needed as he really loved God. He then
began to pursue God truly and sincerely from his heart.
As a teenager, his unwavering love for God even at the time caught the
attention of a lot as he had an inclination for spiritual things. Growing up,
Apostle Joshua Selman was always found alone reading and studying the
bible diligently while his peers were playing. That helped in preparing and
shaping him for the task ahead.
Shortly, he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit after and thus began his
‘journey’ to the realm of the supernatural. Himself and four other friends
began to do the extraordinary in their school by simply applying their faith.
Amongst other miracles, this birthed the healing of a stammerer.
Along the line, some of the things he walked in were called heresies. This
made himself and his friends backslide but that changed by the encounter he
received on the 2nd of December, 2002 where someone tapped him on the
hand while he slept and as he awoke, he knew it was Jesus though he
couldn’t explain how he knew. This was his first encounter with Christ. He
then began to cry profusely as he rededicated himself for the Master’s use.
He also had a dream in which he was ministering in the university and also
started having encounters with heavenly personalities and notable apostles
of God. Thus, it is only right to say that he already had an idea of what was
waiting for him before he stepped his feet in the university.
Not much has been documented about his primary and secondary schools
but he had his tertiary education at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria,
Kaduna State, Nigeria where he studied chemical engineering and also had
the opportunity to begin his work as a minister of God as an undergraduate
preaching and sharing the gospel to fellow students in school with the help of
his friends.
This was when he knew that God had called him to be a preacher and a
minister. His most dramatic encounter was when Jesus Christ Himself
appeared and stood before him. All Jesus did was stretch His hand towards
him and a great beam of light came upon him. That encounter brought a
level of anointing and understanding into his life as he began to have
extraordinary insight into the Word like never before. Along with his friends,
Apostle Joshua Selman maximized the privilege they got to share with their
fellow students the love of Jesus Christ. They continued in that trend and
preached at every program that they were permitted to.
Apostle Joshua Selman was heavily used by God during his university days in
prophetic, in healing the sick and performing miracles. In the light of his
discovery of the powerful anointing upon him and following the leading of the
Holy Spirit, he founded the Eternity Network International (ENI) in Zaria,
Kaduna State in March 2011. The ministry organized a program named
KOINONIA in the same year. The term Koinonia is a Greek word which literally
translates to “communion or intimacy”.
Apostle Joshua Selman has been mentored and influenced by a wide number
of heavily anointed men of God. He best describes himself as a product of
many graces, anointing and divine impartation. This is seen when he talks
about the different men of God that have at one time or the other imparted
his life including Benny Hinn, Bishop David O. Oyedepo, T. L. Osbourne,
Reinhard Bonnke, among others.

relationship with Lady Sandra Areh (born December 9), who is also referred
to as Selwoman after the Apostle's surname “Selman”.
