The founder and president of Streams of Joy International, Jerry Eze has revealed his recent encounter with a woman who had assaulted his mother in the past.
He stated that the incident happened when he was young.
While speaking on forgiveness on, the preacher described the incident as a “traumatic memory” that had stayed with him for a long time.
Years later, the same woman came to him seeking help and prayers.
He said she had been impacted by his ministry programme NSPPD and wanted to share her testimony.
Eze said he was faced with a difficult decision; to hold onto the past or extend forgiveness and help. He said he however decided to forgive and assist her.
“So yesterday, I met a woman who beat up my late mum terribly. Anyone who knows me would know how much I adore my Mum. I was young and she was a young woman at the time and we lived in the same compound,” he wrote.
“She threw my mum on the floor and hit her so hard. That memory traumatized me for so long. She showed up to see me yesterday to seek for help and ask for prayers and mentioned how NSPPD had changed her life.
“It’s amazing how I extended help to her and she broke down in tears. She remembered what happened, I remembered too, most importantly I had forgiven.
“Forgiveness is so liberating. I know it hurts, please forgive!!! The Holyspirit will help you. May God give you the grace to forgive right now in Jesus name.”
