This candid revelation was made during a recent in-depth interview with popular media personality Chude Jideonwo.
Pastor Jerry Eze.
The Abuja-based pastor emphasized that despite the fame and large following, he does not see himself as a professional pastor in the traditional sense many might assume.
He shared that all his efforts and activities are centered on the purpose of advancing and enriching the spiritual lives of current and future generations, rather than personal gain or status.
Pastor Jerry explained that he never intended to reach the level of influence he has today, and he remains grounded by making sure that everything revolves around God and not around himself as an individual.
In his own words, he stated …
“I am not a professional pastor; the day I become a professional pastor, let God kill me. Let me leave this whole thing… the day it ceases to be about God and become about Jerry, then let the Lord close down everything…”
