A video of Apostle Joshua Selman, founder and senior pastor of Eternity Network International, also known as Koinonia Global, at Sandra Areh’s birthday celebration has sparked reactions on social media.
The cleric appeared at the event on Tuesday, where he lifted the celebrant’s hand and referred to her as “my love” before praying for her while she knelt beside him.
Sandra Areh, an interior designer, has been involved in Apostle Selman’s ministry for years.
Pastor Bulelwa Okoh, who attended the party, described Sandra as “my beloved sister and First Lady to be of Koinonia Global” in an Instagram post.
The video has triggered speculation about the nature of their relationship.
One user wrote, “Is she his wife?.”
Another commented, “God abeg mek Apostle marry this lady, cause we are coming for wedding. God abeg direct mind of apostle to her ohhhhhhh.”
One user stated, “No one is talking about the holding of hands, that has so much meaning in every love story than that ‘my love.’ If any man holds me like that ehn! Forget it.”
Another wrote, “Anybody wey fit pull apostle out, as busy as he is! Then he doesn’t joke with that person🤭many more years to the celebrant.”
Old interviews and sermons of Selman have resurfaced following the video.
In a 2022 interview, he confirmed that he was single and explained that he had established personal principles to manage relationships with women.
In a 2023 audio, he stated that he intended to remain focused on God for a long time.
The appearance of Selman at the birthday party and his remarks have reignited public interest in his personal life and relationship status.
