Eden Centre, Lagos, Nigeria | Apostle Joshua Selman
In the Higher Dimensions Connect 2024 event held at the Eden Centre in Lagos, Nigeria, Apostle Joshua Selman delivered a profound and revelatory message that invited believers to explore and engage with the higher dimensions of God’s kingdom. The message focused on the believer’s capacity to ascend into greater realms of spiritual understanding, empowerment, and authority, transforming their lives to align with God’s eternal purposes.
The event was characterized by deep teaching, intense worship, and prophetic encounters, creating an atmosphere for spiritual elevation. The key theme revolved around the idea that believers are not meant to live in the mundane or the earthly realms but are called to connect with and operate from the higher dimensions of God’s glory and power.
Key Themes and Insights from the Message
1. Understanding Higher Dimensions
Apostle Selman began by unpacking the concept of “higher dimensions” in the kingdom of God, emphasizing that these dimensions are realms of deeper revelation, divine authority, and spiritual power.
- Ephesians 1:18 – “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.”
- Higher dimensions are not just about supernatural experiences but about spiritual maturity, a deeper understanding of God’s will, and walking in a higher level of spiritual authority. Believers are called to ascend beyond earthly limitations and live out the fullness of God’s plan for their lives.
2. The Call to Transcend the Natural Realm
Apostle Selman highlighted that believers are meant to transcend the natural realm and tap into the spiritual dimensions of the kingdom of God.
- John 3:12 – “If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?”
- The spiritual life is not meant to be confined to natural experiences or understanding. The believer is called to operate in a realm that transcends earthly boundaries, where God’s wisdom and power are evident in every aspect of life. This calls for a renewal of the mind, a deep hunger for divine revelation, and a commitment to live according to God’s will.
3. The Role of Revelation in Accessing Higher Dimensions
Apostle Selman made it clear that the key to accessing higher dimensions is divine revelation.
- Daniel 2:22 – “He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
- Revelation is the doorway to deeper understanding and spiritual growth. It opens up the believer’s heart and mind to see things as God sees them. By embracing divine revelation, believers can navigate the higher dimensions of God’s purpose, making decisions that align with His will.
4. The Power of Spiritual Hunger and Desire
Apostle Selman stressed that hunger and a deep desire for the things of God are critical in accessing these higher dimensions.
- Matthew 5:6 – “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
- Spiritual hunger is a key that unlocks the higher realms of the spirit. The deeper the hunger, the greater the dimension of God’s presence and power that a believer can access. In this teaching, Apostle Selman encouraged the attendees to cultivate an insatiable hunger for God’s presence, which is the gateway to experiencing greater dimensions of His glory.
5. Living in the Glory of the Higher Dimensions
The ultimate purpose of entering higher dimensions is to experience God’s glory in its fullness. Apostle Selman declared that believers are not just meant to visit these dimensions but to live in them, manifesting God’s glory in every area of their lives.
- 2 Corinthians 3:18 – “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
- Believers are called to be carriers of God’s glory, reflecting His image and manifesting His power in the world. The higher dimensions are not just places of personal spiritual elevation but are meant to bring about transformation in the lives of others as well.
6. The Importance of Spiritual Discipline
Apostle Selman also emphasized that accessing higher dimensions requires discipline, focus, and commitment to spiritual growth.
- 1 Timothy 4:7 – “But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.”
- Spiritual growth does not happen passively; it requires intentionality and discipline in prayer, studying the Word of God, fasting, and walking in obedience. To ascend to higher dimensions, believers must maintain a life of consecration, ensuring that they are continuously being refined and transformed into the image of Christ.

- “As you hunger for God, I declare that you are positioned to receive fresh revelation and greater spiritual authority in this season!”
