A heartwarming video of Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi attending Apostle Joshua Selman's Koinonia service has emerged online, drawing widespread attention and praise from fans. The clip captures the moment the cleric noticed the footballer among the congregation and addressed him directly from the pulpit.
Apostle Selman Acknowledges Awoniyi's Presence
In the recording, Apostle Selman paused his sermon to recognize Awoniyi, offering prayers for the athlete. The clergyman emphasized that his words were not born out of fanaticism nor intended to turn the player into a religious extremist. He stated that God had already elevated Awoniyi in his football career and that the goal was to help him become even more exceptional on the pitch.
Selman further explained that he would not ask Awoniyi to turn the football field into a crusade ground. Instead, he prayed that the grace received in God's presence would continue to distinguish him in his profession. He said, "I just spotted Awoniyi. It is good that you are in the house of God. I am not saying it out of fanaticism. I am saying it because he is in church to learn balance. We are not raising him to be a fanatic; God has already elevated him in sport. If he remains a member here without fulfilling his purpose, we are wasting his time."
