    Jerry Eze thanks God as YouTube channel becomes third most watched globally

    Founder and Lead Pastor of Streams of Joy International and convener of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declaration (NSPPD), Pastor Jerry Eze, has expressed gratitude to God after his YouTube channel emerged as the third most watched in the world, excluding gaming platforms.

    In a post on X, Eze praised God for the milestone recorded by the digital prayer platform, noting that achieving global viewership dominance was never part of its original vision.

    He thanked Jesus for the accomplishment, describing himself as a flawed young man from the “backside of the desert,” and attributed the success entirely to God’s grace working through him.

    The cleric also appreciated his global audience, stressing that the achievement belongs to everyone who joins him in prayer every working day.

    Eze wrote, “This was definitely not our Mission but see what God has done. Third Most Watched YouTube Channel in the World away from Gaming sites. I don’t even know what to say but to just say – Thank you Jesus !!!

    “This Flawed Young man from the backside of the desert, you chose to show forth your Might through. This wasn’t the mission but Lord , I will be a fool not to say thank you Abba ; thank you El-roi. The Kingdoms of this World have become the Kingdoms of our God.

    “To Everyone all over the Globe who joined us in Prayers every working day. This is for all of us. To god be the glory !!!”

    God should take me the day I become a ‘professional’ pastor – Jerry Eze

    Pastor Jerry Eze, leader of Streams of Joy International and creator of the popular New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) online platform, has clarified that he is not a “professional pastor.”

    Speaking in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, Eze stated that God should take him if he ever becomes a professional pastor. 

    He also stressed that his ministry is rooted in a divine calling, not personal or financial ambitions.

    Eze distanced himself from self-serving motives, vowing that he would rather God end his life and ministry if it ever shifted from glorifying God to promoting himself.

    The pastor, who rose to prominence with NSPPD’s launch in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, said he never anticipated his current level of success.

    He attributed his journey to following God’s guidance, expressing trust in divine support for his ongoing work.

    “I’m not a professional pastor, the day I become a professional pastor, let God kill me,” Pastor Jerry declared, adding that “The day it ceases to be about God and be about Jerry let God close down everything.

    “I didn’t plan to be here, this is not something you plan that at some point you’re going to be big and the world will hear of you. If He brought me this far then I’m trusting Him to help me every step of the way. I want people to feel and know the power of God through what I’m doing. I know what my assignment is, I know what God has called me to do, and it has consumed me.”

    Eze added that his greatest motivation comes from the joy and testimonies of his congregation, which continue to inspire his mission.

    “I don’t care what anybody thinks or feels but the encouragement is when I see those smiles and hear those testimonies,” Pastor Jerry added.
