According to his interview with PunchNG, I was raised by a Christian mother who instilled godly virtues in me. My first introduction to God was my mom saying I was going to be a voice in my generation; that I was going to serve God. That was how I grew up and continued in my journey with God. I grew up in a poor home; I must not forget to say that my mom was quite indigent. I already mentioned the fact that she is a single parent. That was how our journey started. Maybe, I would just say that poverty was one of the factors that made us seek the Lord because there was nothing else to hope on than to just cling to God. And the rest is history; that’s my journey to where I am right now.
My background actually brought me to a place of humility. So, till today, I don’t know any material acquisition or gift that could make me proud. My background also brought me to the place of prayers. People say, ‘Oh, he prays, he is known to be a man of prayers,’ it wasn’t accidental; it was something that started since I was young. God used my background, the issues, everything, to bring me to a place where I had an intimacy with Him. And also right now, it’s easy to be broken with God but it was situations that started breaking me down. It was the apparent (material) lack that we faced that broke me down. Away from that, loving God and being into God come from my background when you know that nothing else mattered except God.
You are known to be aggressive during your prayer programmes as if fighting some elemental forces. What informed this violent method?
That comes primarily from the fact that I’m angry with the devil. Every day of my life, I open messages, emails and I’m seeing that someone is down with cancer, someone just died; there is so much pain in the world. Half of the time, people are masking their pain; people are hurt and going through very difficult issues. Sometimes, I tend to believe that 90 per cent of people in the world are hurting. People are hurting in different ways, regardless of the big mansions and other material acquisitions. Sometimes, I usually tell people who don’t have enough, ‘Be happy where you are o, because you don’t know the problems of the people you think are doing well.’ My aggression comes from the mere fact that I’m angry with the devil because God is not the doer of all these things. The Bible says God cannot be tempted with evil, so he is not the one causing the people this pain; He is not the one causing this level of shame. It, first of all, comes to me as pain that generally translates to anger. So, I wake up every morning and maybe when I’m done with the prayers, when I pray all through the night, I come out with a burden. I just feel like I’m a pregnant woman and that I just had to get this thing off. The pain I see people go through is a landmark of my passion. I’m not doing this for appearance, I love people, I want to see people set free. Every time I see God do all these miracles in the lives of the people, it just brings a new lease of life to my spirit.
Beyond prayers, what other help do you provide for people whose challenges may not be spiritual in nature?
We have what we call the Spring of Joy Foundation. But let me correct you, I am not one of those who believe that your problems are not spiritual because sometimes, people think that what they need is support and you give them support. If they are dealing with spiritual problems, the support you give them would go down the drain. First of all, we must find God – ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness.’ Anybody who says, ‘My problem is not spiritual,’ is misguided. Your problem basically is finding God and finding a rhythm with God. From there, any other thing can happen. As a ministry, we have built a house for a widow, we pay bills; we are constantly trying to do things to better the lives of people around us. It’s a part of our ministry and one project I’m going to be unveiling during my 39th birthday anniversary coming up on August 22, 2021, is a tuition-free primary school in a rural area. It would be manned by qualified teachers; we will feed the pupils.
I am a man of prayer: I make bold to say this; over the past 13 years of my life, there is no night that I slept all through the night. I have midnight prayers all through the morning over the past 13 years of my life. So, nobody interfaces with God at such a depth and he would come out and heavens would not load you with revelations for people. For me, it is not a display of gift; it’s a pathway to solving someone’s problem. And I said to God, ‘If this is what you are going to do, you’re giving me this in order to touch lives; once it is people, I’m ready to do anything for God.’
You said you’ve prayed every night for the past 13 years; has this not affected your health?
It can never affect my health. The prayers were why NSPPD was birthed because for every move of God, He took his time to prepare the man behind it. So, I am a man who wasn’t prepared on the stage; I was prepared behind the scene. That’s why people are coming out to say, ‘Oh my goodness, where did this guy come from?’ and all that. All over Nigeria and all over the world, people are asking where he came from. I wasn’t made in a day; there were solid years when He was cooking me behind the scene; nobody knew about it.
You said God took time to ‘cook’ you; what has this cost you?
It took everything from me; it took my life. I don’t have a life anymore. I spend my days praying in seclusion. I don’t have friends anymore, just a few people around me. I am in that space where the Holy Spirit has interrupted my itinerary. I am in that space where I’m constantly mandated to do things of the spirit that are not normal. I am every day burdened with the burdens of people. I’m in that place where I have poured out my life like a libation, so it’s taken everything from me. It’s taken luxury, pleasure and I say to people. I’m not a normal human being. Some people are not created normal; some people are created to be there for others. So, I have chosen that path, to be that one that would be there so that my generation can fulfill their destiny.
What informed NSPPD’s live prayer programme on social media?
Well, to be very honest, NSPPD wasn’t intentional about putting the crusade on the social media. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I called a few of my church people and told them that there was a need to strategise on what we were going to do differently and they said they couldn’t come because of COVID-19. So, I said, ‘Oh my goodness, so this is really bad.’ At that point, I became angry and said, ‘How can the devil triumph over us?’ Then, I said to my wife, ‘Let us go online and be sharing the word of God and encouraging people.’ At the time, I just concluded the Psalm 91 series, so I told my wife we would go online with the Psalm 91 I just concluded and we could use it to encourage others. That was the beginning of NSPPD. It wasn’t like God told me to use the platform; it was all in the programme of God. I was sensitive to the season I was in; God didn’t give me the full picture but He told me, ‘A time is going to come when I would shift the trajectory of your ministry.’ By the time we started, we discovered that people who had COVID-19 were healed. So, we started taking time to pray for those who had COVID-19, then other miracles began to happen in quick successions.
Would you say the online programme has more impact than the regular church service?
How can you not say it has more impact? At the end of every day, if you check the views on all our platforms at the end of 24 hours, it is over one million persons. Are you kidding me? Over one million views. It is the largest online prayer platform; one million people come for prayers. At the end of the day, YouTube has over 400,000 views; Facebook, over 400, 000; Instagram and others. That’s incredible, to say the least. In real time, you find more than 50,000 persons on YouTube, Facebook, over 60,000; Instagram, 11,000, and they are there praying real time. It is more effective and people carry their devices around wherever they are. They are praying in the car going everywhere. It’s a revival, and the good thing is that it is beyond denomination. People are not saying, ‘I’m Catholic, Presbyterian.’ and all that. People are getting in and they are getting evidence. People are seeing God and saying, ‘Thank you for making us trust God again; I stopped going to church; I stopped believing in God because I felt I would pray and it’s not real.’ So, they feel like a revival is happening again.
In his interview with Punch NG, Pastor Jerry Eze believes Christian leaders should be vocal but not confrontational like the biblical prophet Elijah. This is because Christian leaders are not called to be anti-government.
Before I became a pastor, I was a good Christian. I am born again, I love the Lord. So, I know what I should not do. Church money is not my money and I know that quite well. God blesses me, and that suffices. Coming to sexual scandal, I have put structures in place that would not allow that to happen. Right now, you can see my assistant here and the protocol is on the other side. So, there is no way that can happen. Wherever I go, they (male aides) are usually there with me. With my level of visibility right now, everybody wants to get close, I know; and most of them are strange people. I am a happy man who loves God and I have a very beautiful wife and I’m content.
Have you been tempted by a woman before?
Not now that I’m very visible; (it happened) many years ago. Who hasn’t been tempted before? A young lady stripped naked in front of me but I ran. I must admit it did my body somehow but I ran and that was what ended that episode but right now, I don’t think with the structures I have right now, that a young woman can have the opportunity of seeing me alone talk less of stripping herself.
He found love in the university. I had gone to a fellowship to preach and while I was about to preach, they were introducing the executive committee of the fellowship and they called my wife’s name and a voice just told me, ‘That’s your wife.’ So, I looked at where she was. I asked someone who is a member of my church about her and that was how I found love or love found me. I told her, ‘I want to marry you.’ I didn’t woo her or ask her out. That was how primitive I was in such things.
Prior to being called into ministry, I worked for the World Bank project on HIV/AIDS, and also with the United Nations. Community-driven work makes me come alive; I think it is just in my DNA.
