Maturity & Stature (The End-Time Army) Part 2 (Obadiah 1:21, Acts 1:8) || Refiner’s Fire Camp Meeting 2025 || Anambra-Nigeria || Apostle Selman

Part 1: Maturity & Stature (Firm Foundations) Part 1 by Apostle Selman

The End Time Man, The Kind Of Man God Is Looking For, And The Level Of Stature That Is Required To Host God’s Program And To Execute It To His Satisfaction

Obadiah 1:21 KJV, Acts 1:8 KJV

1. Man as a species is the highest creation of God.
   Colossians 1:16 KJV, Psalm 8 KJV
2. Every Activity that happens upon the earth is Man-Dependent.
   Psalm 115:16 KJV, Ezekiel 22:30 KJV
   • Conditions To Be Called A Man
     • You must be a spirit
     • That spirit must be trapped in a body
     • That spirit must have solicial expressions
3. Both God and satan require men for their program to be executed. John 8:44 KJV
   
   • God is not ashamed to show his vulnerability towards man
     
     
4. Every Man Has A Role To Play To Make God’s End Time Program A Reality. Isaiah 6:8 KJV.
   • God will never force or impose his program on any man.
   • The character of God as love, the character of God as father, and in honor to the will he gave man would restrain him from superimposing upon man.

What It Means To Give Your Life To Christ?

• When you are saved, you receive his life. Giving your life to Christ is the language of surrender. It is the name given to the entire spiritual process that makes a man an available vessel. Psalm 89:20 KJV

To Show That You Love God, your entire heart must be plunged into his program to bring him joy through your life.

Ezekiel 22:30 KJV

• The hardest part of revival is when God finds the vessel he can trust
• God’s program is as easy as the alignment of the vessels available.
• God’s program is as hard as the nonchalance of the believers within a territory

The manifestation of God’s prophetic program on earth depends on the availability, the willingness, and the alignment of the saints.

Four Portraits Of The Apostolic Stature God is Looking For (2 Timothy 2:19-21 KJV):

1.  God is looking for a man who truly desires to know him. Daniel 11:32b, 2 Timothy1:12 KJV, John 17:3 KJV

Three Major Ways According To Scripture To Learn And To Know God:

1. You Know God By Learning His Nature Psalm 145:8 KJV, Psalm 103 KJV
   • The knowledge of the Lord’s nature is what you use to judge prophecy
   • Anyone who knows God from the lens of scripture will fall in love with him
   • There is a way God works, when you know the nature of God, it brings stability and it takes away fear.
2. You Know God by Learning His Ways
3. You Know God by Learning His Power. Ephesians 1:15-19 KJV
   • When you know God’s power, you will know there’s hope for you and your family.

Four Portraits Of The Apostolic Stature God is Looking For:

2. God is looking for a man who will truly and wholeheartedly love him

• • You can’t serve a God you do not love, and you cannot love a God you do not know. John 21:15-17 KJV
  • Don’t tell me you love the Lord, qualify his place in your life
  • It is not enough for God to be in your heart; where does he occupy?
  • Don’t tell me you love Jesus, show me what you have laid down for him
  • What gives credence, what purifies your spiritual activities, is your heart. Isaiah 6:1-8 KJV
  • The price for all of God is all of you

The Evidence of Genuine Intimacy with God by Apostle Joshua Selman

3. God is looking for men, He’s looking for vessels that will serve him. Romans 12:11 KJV

• • To serve the Lord is a covenant, a consecration of your time, a consecration of your energy, a consecration of your gifting, and a consecration of your resources to see him glorified.
  • Consecration is two-fold:
    • Abstinence from
    • Devotion Unto
  • Acts 8:4-8 KJV

4. God is looking for vessels, men who desire the manifestation of his will above and beyond their personal ambitions. Luke 22:42 KJV

• In this kingdom, the way to live is to die. John 12:24 KJV

God’s end-time army has three groups of men:

1. Prophetic Intercessors (Ezekiel 22:30 KJV, Jeremiah 29:7 KJV, 2 Corinthians 1:11 KJV, 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 KJV, Isaiah 62:6-7 KJV)

1. • These are men who sometimes may not be known in their lifetime. They come in the spirit of Anna the Prophetess, their assignment is to cry maranatha in the place of prayer until the spirit and the bride comes.
   • The character of intercession is that self must be absent

Effective Intercession captures three things:

1. Establishing victory over demonic forces
2. Prayer to empower the vessels with wisdom, faith, and power
3. Granting access to the hearts of men as you witness

2. Saviors or Witnesses (The Sent Ones)

• These are the ones who are involved in active kingdom service. They use the key of wisdom, they use the key of productivity, they use the key of excellence, they use the key of influence within the cosmos to birth the purposes of God and to defend the interests of God. Matthew 9:37-38 KJV, Matthew 10:16 KJV

Redefining The Great Commission by Apostle Joshua Selman

3. Helpers Of The War (Romans 10:15 KJV)

They Bring Two Gifts:

• Influence
• Resources

If you want to understand God’s description of influence, study these 3 people:

1. Joseph
2. Daniel
3. Esther

The common thread with all of them is that they started with a disadvantage; none of them had a vantage position, but they were able to walk their way and evolved.

Esther 4 KJV, Esther 5 KJV, Esther 7 KJV

In this kingdom, what gives value to every desire is the degree to which it is connected to the will of God and the program of God.

1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV, Ephesians 5:16 KJV

Your investment is like vapor that arises to the sky. Rain will only fall when your cloud is full of rain, and if you use a teaspoon for that evaporation, it will not fall in your lifetime. You will need to invest time.
