I’m Not A Jesus Baddie – Nancy Isime Says, Reveals Relationship With God

Nollywood actress Nancy Isime revealed that she has a good relationship with God.
This is as she revealed that she doesn’t want to be associated with ‘Jesus baddie’ tag.

In a recent social media post, Isime recounted her experience attending a miracle service at @koinonia.abuja, expressing profound gratitude for the opportunity to meet and pray with Apostle Joshua Nimmak Selman, whom she described as not only a servant of God’s grace, but also a transformative teacher and leader.
Nancy stressed her identity as a Christian by birth and choice, emphasizing her peace with Jesus despite imperfections.
She clarified that while she embraces Christianity wholeheartedly, she respects others’ paths to spirituality and does not endorse labels like “Jesus Baby” or “Jesus Baddie.”
In her post, Nancy wrote;
”Last week, I was able to physically join the miracle service at @koinonia.abuja and it was everything!
 
Not only was I a part of the service, I also got to meet and pray with the Earthly Head of the Church – Apostle Joshua Nimmak Selman.
 
Apostle Joshua Selman isn’t just a servant of the manifold Grace of God, he’s also a Great teacher and leader through and through.
 
His Sermons have been a part of the transformative process of my mind and faith. You should listen to: What Seekest Thou Laws of Seasons Lessons from an overcomer Jesus is my Peace ( My Girl @sharonooja put me on this one)
 
Today’s service which hammered on Grace is also an amazing one to look out for.
Please check @koinonia.abuja for details on
how to connect with their services/ Apostle’s teachings on all platforms.
 
Thankful to my friend @mosesbliss for
ensuring this happened for me. Thankful to Sister Esther for also ensuring I got the best experience.
 
God is Good and my life is a testimony of the goodness of God. My story is evidence that l have the backing of God the father, the Son and the Holyspirit. I do not walk alone.
 
P.S: I am NOT a Jesus Baby, Jesus Baddie or
whatever labels comes with identifying with
Christ in recent times.
 
l am a Child of God and a Christian by birth and by Choice. Far from perfect but I’ve found my peace with Jesus.
 
I however do not discriminate against people who communicate with God through other religions.

It is not my place to judge. If I’m Christian, it means I’m Christ like and Christ never discriminated, judged, labeled, he wasn’t even religious.

He was accessible to all and his message was Love, Goodness and Salvation. This is what I stand for. My relationship with God is personal and not for Man’s understanding and acceptance.”
