In a powerful display of emotion that has captivated the Nigerian online community and beyond, Pastor Jerry Eze, the founder of Streams of Joy International, broke down in tears after achieving a monumental digital milestone. As 2025 drew to a close, the popular cleric discovered that his online prayer ministry had been ranked among the top 10 most-watched YouTube streamers in the entire world.
A Shocking Global Achievement
The news broke when Pastor Eze himself shared a screenshot of the official YouTube chart on his social media platforms. The data revealed an astonishing feat: his channel secured the third position globally with a staggering 102 million streams. This ranking placed him ahead of countless major international creators and established his platform as one of the most-watched non-gaming channels on the planet.
Reacting to the achievement, an overwhelmed Pastor Eze poured out his gratitude to God. He emphasized that this global recognition was never the original mission of his ministry. “This was definitely not our mission, but see what God has done,” he wrote alongside the chart. “Third most-watched YouTube channel in the world, away from gaming sites. I don’t even know what to say but to say, thank you Jesus.”
Humility and Dedication to Followers
In his emotional post, the cleric reflected on his personal journey, describing himself as “a flawed young man” whom God chose to use. He steadfastly attributed the success not to personal ambition but to divine grace and purpose. Furthermore, Pastor Eze dedicated the historic milestone to the millions of faithful followers across the globe who participate in his daily prayer sessions.
“To everyone all over the globe who joined us in prayers every working day, this is for all of us,” he affirmed. “To God be the glory.” This sense of shared victory resonated deeply with his audience, known as NSPPDians, who actively participate in the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) held online every weekday.
Celebration and Reactions from the Online Community
The announcement triggered a wave of celebratory reactions online, with the hashtag #JerryEze trending as supporters shared their joy. Comments from followers highlighted the transformative impact of the daily prayers and expressed awe at the global reach of a Nigerian-led spiritual movement.
One follower, xquisite_kachi1, shared a heartfelt testimony: “This platform has caused millions to seek the face of God daily. I’m proudly an NSPPDIAN... Only God knows what goes on behind the scene... May God continue to strengthen you papa.” Other comments, like those from pure_interiors_ng who declared “WE ARE HEADED TO NUMBER ONE,” and sommy_amah who simply stated “To God be the glory forever,” captured the collective pride and faith of the community.
This achievement by Pastor Jerry Eze underscores the massive influence of digital faith movements originating from Nigeria. It highlights how dedicated online congregations can drive viewership numbers that compete with, and even surpass, mainstream global entertainment on platforms like YouTube.
