Pastor Jerry Eze vows to never become a professional pastor in viral interview

Popular Nigerian pastor and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has made a powerful and controversial declaration about his calling, making it clear that he refuses to be labeled a “professional pastor.”

During a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the spiritual leader behind the globally recognized online prayer movement New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD), opened up on his motivations and what drives his ministry.

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

Pastor Eze’s emotional statement appeared to criticize those who treat religious leadership as a career path rather than a divine calling. While he didn’t define “professional pastor,” his remarks pointed to a growing concern about the commercialization of ministry in Nigeria and beyond.

According to him, his journey into ministry wasn’t pre-planned or rooted in self-promotion. “I didn’t plan to be here. This is not something you map out like a business plan, saying you’ll grow big and become known worldwide,” he explained.

Pastor Eze emphasized that his motivation is solely driven by his divine assignment and the lives that are being transformed through his ministry.

“I don’t care what anybody thinks. The encouragement I get is from the lives that are changing,” he added.

Since launching NSPPD in 2020 during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pastor Jerry Eze has become a household name among Christian worshippers worldwide. The daily online prayer sessions have attracted millions of global viewers, making him one of Nigeria’s most influential spiritual figures today.

Despite his growing popularity, the pastor insists that he remains grounded in faith and service to God. “It’s not about me. The glory must go to God,” he affirmed.

The interview has since gone viral, sparking conversations about integrity, authenticity, and purpose in Christian ministry.
