Last Sunday, Apostle Joshua Selman brought prophetic clarity to the subject of The Grace for Visibility, echoing the divine encounter on the Mount of Transfiguration. When God publicly affirmed Jesus before Peter, James, and John, He did more than declare approval — He unveiled Him. And so it is with us: until we are seen, we cannot be received.
What Does It Mean to Be Visible?
Apostle Selman defined visibility as the divine ability to be perceived, acknowledged, and engaged. It is not birthed by self-promotion, but by alignment with God’s process and excellence in our assignment.
- To be visible means to be seen and recognized — not by shouting, but by shining.
- It means to be manifest, obvious, beyond confinement — no longer hidden by obscurity, fear, or spiritual limitations.
- Visibility attracts attention, influence, and opportunity — for ministry, leadership, and destiny fulfillment.
The message drew on rich scriptural context to reveal three powerful reasons why believers should intentionally position themselves for visibility, God’s way:
- For Effective Witnessing
Without visibility, the grace upon your life cannot reach its intended audience. As light set upon a hill, we are called to shine for the sake of Kingdom relevance. - For the Advancement of the Gospel
The Gospel cannot transform those who have not encountered it. Visibility allows the message of salvation — the love of Christ and His substitutionary sacrifice — to reach the unreached and illuminate dark places. - As a Reward and Consolation for Serving Jesus.
Hindrances to Visibility
Apostle Selman also sounded a sober warning: the visibility God grants must not be hijacked by pride or self-glory. When the desire to be known outweighs the desire to be fruitful, purpose is lost. As he put it:
“Let people underestimate you until your results speak.”
Instead, believers are called to:
Die to self and allow Christ to be seen.
Depend on grace and process, not manipulation.
Refuse vain ambition and let excellence in service do the speaking.
A Prophetic Call
There is a spiritual urgency for believers to rise into their prophetic ordination — not merely to be seen, but to be impactful. Whether you are a minister, businessperson, student, or creative, this grace can position you for Kingdom influence.
The cry is simple but weighty:
“Lord, I receive grace for visibility — not for fame, but for fruitfulness.”
