Popular Nigerian preacher and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has expressed deep gratitude after being listed among the world’s top 10 most-watched YouTube streamers a ranking that has brought renewed international attention to his daily online prayer sessions.
According to recent global viewership data, Pastor Eze’s channel now ranks third among the most-viewed YouTube livestream outlets outside of the gaming category, a feat observers have described as unprecedented for a faith-based platform. His weekday prayer program, “New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD),” continues to attract millions of viewers across continents, contributing to the platform’s rapid rise.
Reacting to the report, Pastor Eze said the recognition was never part of his original expectations or ministry strategy. Visibly overwhelmed, he credited the accomplishment to divine grace and the sustained commitment of worshippers who tune in daily from within and outside Nigeria. 
In an emotional message shared with his followers, he stated:
“This was never our mission, yet look at what God has done. To be ranked the third most-watched YouTube channel in the world outside gaming I am lost for words. All I can say is THANK YOU JESUS. I am just a young man from the backside of nowhere, yet God chose to reveal His power through me.”
“I never aimed for global numbers, but I would be ungrateful not to say THANK YOU ABBA, THANK YOU EL-ROI. To everyone across the world who joins us to pray every weekday, this achievement belongs to all of us. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!”
Global Impact and Previous Milestones
The new ranking adds to Pastor Eze’s growing record of influence in the digital faith space. His daily prayer livestream has consistently broken audience records, with worshippers logging in from North America, Europe, Asia, and various African countries.
In 2024, independent assessments revealed that Pastor Eze had become Nigeria’s highest-earning YouTube creator, with revenue from livestream engagement reportedly exceeding ₦7 billion, largely driven by millions of consistent viewers, super chats, and advertising monetization.
Industry analysts say his rapid growth shows the increasing reach of online religious communities and the rising impact of digital evangelism in Africa.
A Growing Digital Ministry
From starting as a local pastor in Abia State to building a worldwide online congregation, Pastor Eze’s journey continues to draw attention. Media analysts note that his rise reflects how technology is reshaping worship culture bringing large audiences together without physical walls.
With his platform now ranked alongside top global streamers, many see his achievement as not just personal recognition, but a defining moment for African-led faith ministries on the world stage.
