Isaya Yunge urges fans to make prayer a habit as he reflects on Apostle Joshua Selman’s teachings
By Steve Ireri, September 14, 2026Isaya Yunge, the partner of President William Ruto’s daughter, Charlene Ruto, has shared a powerful prayer message from Nigerian preacher Apostle Joshua Selman while urging his followers to make prayer a habit.
The video shows Yunge in several locations, including a safari where he is seen alongside Maasai warriors, while other scenes capture him taking in expansive landscapes and gazing across a valley.
In other moments, Yunge is seen herding cattle, enjoying wildlife and taking in the natural surroundings, creating a reflective visual backdrop for Selman’s intense prayer.
The prayer, delivered with deep emotion and moments of speaking in tongues, centres on spiritual capacity, preparation and the demands that come with pursuing significant assignments and influence.
Selman warns that reaching nations requires more than desire, a vision or goals, insisting that a person must develop what he describes as spiritual weight.
“You must have weight in the spirit to open the gates of nations. It is not a desire or vision or goals. It is weight in the spirit,” Selman says during the prayer.
“There are rankings in the demons that will tear. And I am not trying to magnify Satan; I am just telling you the truth,” he says.
Selman further stresses that pursuing an assignment that involves nations requires significant capacity, arguing that such a journey involves dealing with spiritual forces, governments and antagonists.
“The level of intelligence it takes, you are dealing with spirits, you are dealing with governments, and you are dealing with antagonists. Come on, you need capacity,” he says.
The prayer then turns into a personal cry for enlargement, with Selman asking God to increase his spiritual capacity for the journey and assignment ahead.
“God, enlarge me. The journey is far. Enlarge my spirit. For the assignment,” he says.
