NSPPD Claims Third Spot as World's Most-Watched YouTube Channel in 2025
In a remarkable surge of digital faith-based content, the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD) platform, led by Nigerian Pastor Jerry Eze, has been ranked the third most-watched YouTube channel worldwide for 2025, amassing over 102 million watch hours.
According to data from Streams Charts, an international streaming analytics platform, NSPPD trails only Brazilian religious content creator Frei Gilson with 154 million watch hours and Dominican creator Luinny Corporan with 137 million. The achievement stands out, as NSPPD outperformed all non-gaming channels globally during the year.
Pastor Eze, the lead pastor of Streams of Joy International and convener of NSPPD, announced the milestone on social media on December 27, expressing profound gratitude. "This was definitely not our mission but see what God has done. Third Most Watched YouTube Channel in the World, away from Gaming sites," he posted on Facebook. He continued, "I don’t even know what to say but to thank Jesus. This Flawed Young man from the backside of the desert, you chose to show forth your Might through... To Everyone all over the Globe who joined us in Prayers every working day. This is for all of us."
Launched on November 21, 2020, amid COVID-19 restrictions that halted physical church gatherings, NSPPD began as a simple online prayer initiative. It quickly evolved into a global digital ministry, featuring daily live sessions—typically Monday through Friday at 7 a.m. WAT—filled with prophetic declarations, worship, and testimonies.
The channel now boasts over 2.8 million subscribers, thousands of videos, and hundreds of millions of total views. Daily livestreams regularly attract hundreds of thousands of participants, fuelled by high engagement through Super Chats and donations, which have also made it one of Nigeria's top-earning YouTube channels for consecutive years.
This latest recognition marks Pastor Eze's third major global milestone in 2025. Earlier achievements included retaining the title of Nigeria's highest-earning YouTuber for the second year, with significant revenue reported from live streams.
Pastor Eze attributed the accomplishment to divine intervention and the collective participation of the global community. In his words, the milestone has exceeded the channel's original purpose of providing accessible prayer during a pandemic, transforming it into a worldwide movement of spiritual revival.
