He said those same Catholic faithful are miracle seekers and not God seekers if they do not pray the rosary, go to mass daily, receive the sacraments and don't read their Bible.
"You call yourself Catholic, yet you join NSPPD and share the link on WhatsApp daily. But you don’t go for Mass daily, you don’t pray the Rosary, you don’t receive the sacraments, you don’t read the Bible…
"You are a miracle seeker not a God seeker."

"Pst.Jerry is busy making his money!
"Recently, a former Pentecostal church member (who converted to a Catholic) made a thought provoking statement.
"She said "The Pentecostals work so hard to seek God's face, but the Catholic Church has made it so easy through the Blessed Sacrament."

"If ONLY some knew the power of the Mass, they would commit themselves to it. Sadly, some are eager to see some "drama" before they have faith that something supernatural has taken place. Nonetheless, we bless GOD for the lives touched through his servant on NSPPD."
@Emmanue45595641 said:
"People can be encouraged to attend Mass, pray the Rosary, and read their Bible while still remaining prayerful. Some miracles lead people to God. On a personal note, NSPPD has strengthened my faith, and I'm still a committed Catholic. People show devotion in diverse ways."
@Lity_Me said:
"The highest sacrifice is the Holy Mass. The best Intercessory prayer is the Rosary. The best food for the soul is the Holy Eucharist. This is what "Some" of us Catholics do not know."
@Zeekah33 said:
"If only Catholics knows the power in the holy mass. The job I have today is a miracle from attending mass daily and receiving the sacrament."
@Okechuqu said:
"The post is as clear as day, if you feel attacked or offended then you actually need help."
@S_i_x__1_5 said:
"The sacrifice of the new law.
"The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist gives life to the soul."
How NSPPD started and its aim
The prayer meeting started during the COVID-19 outbreak. It was online and gave believers the opportunity to worship together on a stream, making them experience God without location restrictions.
NSPPD was founded on the core belief that "What God Cannot Do Does Not Exist," and it is geared towards empowering Christians
According to Streamsofjoy, the platform has experienced massive growth since it commenced. NSPPD's daily online prayer meetings, held every Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM.
The sessions are popular for their testimonies. Many people have also gone online to share how their lives turned around after attending one of its sessions.
