Founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has shared how he and his team survived a near plane crash.
Speaking during a recent sermon, Eze recounted the experience, revealing that he felt a strong prompting from the Holy Spirit to pray just before takeoff.
“Saturday morning after NSPPD prayer conference in Lagos, we got on a flight and as soon as we got on the flight coming back, before we even took off, I just requested to see the pilot.
“The air hostess walked up to me and said, ‘Papa, you are not comfortable.’ I said, ‘My spirit is not accepting this pilot.’ I said, no problem, let’s go. Of course, everybody was tired. But for some reason, the spirit of God said, ‘begin to pray,’ and I kept praying, I wasn’t sleeping,” he said.
According to him, trouble began during landing as the aircraft started moving uncontrollably before a loud sound was heard.
“They said it was a crash landing. When we came out of the plane, we found out that all the tires of the plane had busted. But every one of us came out, nothing missing, nothing broken. If you saw the picture of the plane, all the tires had busted,” he added.
Eze gained widespread recognition through his New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD), a daily online prayer session that has drawn millions of followers worldwide.
The clergyman has been married to Pastor Eno Jerry since 2007, and they have two children.
Eno, who celebrated her birthday last Saturday, serves as the resident pastor of Streams of Joy International and leads the church’s women’s ministry.
