In a video circulating on TikTok, popular Nigerian preacher Apostle Joshua Selman shared a powerful message with his congregation, urging believers to develop the discipline of listening more and speaking less.

During his sermon, Apostle Selman emphasized that many conflicts, misunderstandings, and missed opportunities in life stem from people’s inability to listen attentively before responding.

“Be quick to listen and slow to speak,” he advised. “Wisdom is not just in talking; it’s in understanding. When you learn to listen, you gain insight that helps you respond with clarity and maturity.”

He further explained that impatience and the desire to always prove a point often prevent people from hearing valuable information that could guide them toward success. “Sometimes the answer you need is hidden in silence, not in arguments,” he added.

Apostle Joshua Selman continues to inspire millions globally with his deep teachings on spiritual growth, discipline, and purpose-driven living.
