How NSPPD Got Its Name: Pastor Jerry Eze Shares the Divine Origin of the Global Prayer Movement
The founder of one of the world’s fastest-growing online prayer platforms recounts how a name received in a dream sparked a global revival.
What began as a simple online prayer meeting in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic has become a global spiritual movement, drawing millions daily. But according to Pastor Jerry Eze, founder of the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD), it all began with a moment of divine clarity—and a name given by God in a dream.
The Burden Before the Breakthrough
During the global lockdowns of 2020, many churches around the world were forced to close their physical doors. For Pastor Eze, founder and lead pastor of Streams of Joy International, it was a season marked by intense spiritual burden.
“There was an unusual heaviness in my spirit,” Eze said in a recent testimony. “I could feel God was stirring something deep, something urgent, but I didn’t know what.”
While the world scrambled to adapt, Eze turned to prayer, spending long nights seeking God’s direction. “I cried out to God one night, ‘Show me the assignment! Show me what heaven wants now!’”
A Divine Dream and a Name
The breakthrough came in the early hours of the morning. According to Pastor Eze, he received a dream that would alter the course of his ministry.
“I saw a multitude of people praying, many weeping, all desperately calling on God,” he recalled. “And I heard a thunderous yet tender voice from heaven say, ‘Welcome to your New Season—your time for Prophetic Prayers and Declarations.’”
He awoke trembling, wrote down the words, and immediately recognized them as more than just a message—they were a mandate. The name “New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations,” or NSPPD, was born.
From a Camera to the Nations
With no studio and a simple phone camera, Pastor Eze and a small team began broadcasting live daily prayer sessions. What started as a local broadcast soon began drawing global attention.
“I remember declaring, ‘What God cannot do, does not exist,’ not knowing it would become the heartbeat of a worldwide altar,” said Eze.
Today, NSPPD streams live every weekday morning at 7 a.m. (WAT) across YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms, with testimonies pouring in from over 100 countries. Miraculous healings, breakthroughs, and transformations have been reported by followers from all walks of life.
A Movement, Not a Moment
For Pastor Jerry Eze, the story of NSPPD is not just about the power of prayer, but about obedience to divine instruction.
“The name was heaven’s instruction. The altar was God’s idea. We were just vessels,” he said. “And what we’re seeing today is not hype—it’s harvest.”
As the NSPPD slogan continues to echo across screens and hearts—‘What God cannot do, does not exist’—millions around the world are discovering that a name given in a dream can indeed change everything.
