– Giving Is Key To Financial Increase – Joshua Selman Disagrees
Apostle Joshua Selman, founder of Eternity Network International (ENI), has challenged a popular teaching within Christian circles that presents giving and seed sowing as guaranteed keys to financial increase.
In a teaching, the clergyman described the doctrine of making financial increase the primary expected reward for giving as a wrong teaching, urging Christians to develop a more accurate understanding of biblical giving and prosperity.
According to the cleric, giving should not be reduced to a financial transaction in which a believer gives money to God with the expectation of receiving a greater financial return.

His position challenges a common interpretation of the biblical principle of “seed time and harvest,” which is frequently used in prosperity-oriented Christian teachings to encourage believers to give financially with expectations of supernatural multiplication.
Selman has also previously taught that money should serve broader kingdom purposes, including meeting personal needs, advancing the work of God and helping people in practical ways.
His latest remarks therefore reignite a longstanding conversation within Christianity about prosperity teaching and the place of giving in the financial lives of believers.
While some Christian teachers emphasize sowing and reaping as a pathway to material increase, Selman’s warning calls for a distinction between biblical giving as an act of worship, obedience and love and the idea that financial giving automatically obligates God to return greater wealth to the giver.

The video of the teaching is currently being circulated by SelahTV, with the remarks likely to generate further discussion among Christians and observers of contemporary Pentecostal teaching.
