Jerry Eze: How I survived a plane crash

Jerry Eze, the founder and president of Streams of Joy International, has shared a testimony of how he and his team “miraculously” survived a plane crash.

The cleric recounted the harrowing experience during a recent Sunday service.

Eze said the incident occurred after the NSPPD prayer conference in Lagos. He said as he and his team boarded the flight to return home, he felt uneasy about the pilot.

The cleric said he expressed his concerns to the air hostess and requested to see the pilot.

Eze said despite his initial reservations, the flight proceeded. The cleric, however, said he felt a strong urge to pray throughout the journey, despite feeling tired.

He added that his prayers proved to be providential, as the plane experienced a hard landing just before touching down, causing “all the tires to burst”.

He said “miraculously,” everyone on board escaped safely, with no injuries or damage.

“In the morning after the 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,” he said.

“The air hostess walked up to me, and he said, papa, you are not comfortable; I said my spirit is not accepting the pilot. I went to meet him, but he said no, sir, and I just said no problem, let’s go.

“Of course, everybody was tired, but for some reason, the spirit of God said to begin to pray, and I kept praying.

“Just about the time we are about to land, everything went haywire. We heard a loud sound, and they said it was a hard landing, a crash landing, but when we came out of the plane, we found out that all the tyres had busted. However, every one of us came out, nothing missing, nothing broken.”
