Why I left my lucrative UN job to answer God’s call – Pastor Jerry Eze
Convener of the popular New Season Prophetic Prayers (NSPPD), Pastor Jerry Eze, recently shared the story behind his decision to quit his lucrative job with the United Nations (UN) and become a pastor.
In an interview, Pastor Jerry Eze revealed that he made the life-altering decision because he believed it was his purpose and he could not disobey the divine mandate. He is also the Lead Pastor of Streams of Joy International.
“I realized that there could not be any higher calling than the call of God on one’s life. So, I came to the reality that purpose would always trump any human satisfaction at any time,” Pastor Jerry Eze explained in the interview.
According to a report, Pastor Jerry Eze expressed that fulfilling the desire of God for his life was extremely compelling. When he weighed what he personally wanted with what God wanted him to do, he realized that destiny was much more important than his own desires.
“I left the secular job to do the work of God. Meanwhile, at a time there was nothing exciting about it (the job). I knew I had a mandate to fulfill for a generation waiting to hear my voice,” he said.
He also shared the influence his late mother had in his decision-making process. “My mum was very instrumental to who I have become. It was a season when the voice of my mum kept resonating very strongly in my heart. She passed on shortly after that. She kept telling me that the job I was doing was not the will of God for my life. Of course, I had always argued with her. But, as soon as she passed on, the reality hit me that she was correct all along,” Pastor Jerry Eze said.
Pastor Jerry Eze’s story serves as a reminder that sometimes, the path to fulfillment and purpose may require taking bold steps and making sacrifices. His decision to leave a successful UN job to answer God’s call showcases the importance of following one’s divine mandate, even when it goes against personal desires.
Through his ministry and leadership, Pastor Jerry Eze continues to inspire and impact lives, bringing hope and spiritual guidance to those seeking it.
