Jerry Eze, the founder and president of Streams of Joy International, recently recounted a personal story that underscored the power of forgiveness.

In a post on X, Eze revealed that he encountered a woman who had assaulted his mother during his childhood.

The woman sought help and prayers from Eze after being touched by his ministry program, NSPPD.

Despite the painful memories and trauma, Eze said he chose to forgive her and offer his assistance.

Eze highlighted the liberating power of forgiveness and encouraged his audience to forgive others, just as God has forgiven them.

He wrote: “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 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, and most importantly I had forgiven

“Forgiveness is so liberating. I know it hurts, please forgive!!! The Holy Spirit will help you. May God give you the grace to forgive right now in Jesus name.” (The Nation)
