Pastor Jerry Eze has has gifted gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey, a Range Rover to mark his 45th birthday.
Bassey, who turned 45 on Thursday, August 27, revealed the surprise in an Instagram post on Friday, explaining that he decided to make the gesture public despite his usual preference for keeping personal matters private.
The singer said he had expected to spend his birthday quietly, focusing on gratitude to God. However, unknown to him, Eze had worked with his wife to organise a surprise birthday gift.
According to Bassey, his wife initially suggested a vehicle for the gift, but Eze opted for a Range Rover, insisting that his friend deserved nothing short of the best.
He wrote: “Normally I keep things like this private, but not this one. I want to share this. Woke up yesterday just desiring a nice, easy day of gratitude to God. Unknown to me, my brother and friend @realjerryeze had this holy coup ongoing with my wife.
Of truth, the surpriser had been surprised. Still don’t know how to really express this in words. He insisted on going for the very best when my wife suggested one to get. In his words, “My brother can’t drive that.”
Bassey described Eze as a remarkably generous person, revealing that the clergyman was also preparing similar gestures for other people.
He said the surprise left him without words and expressed appreciation to Eze, stressing that his affection and respect for the pastor would not have changed even without the expensive gift.
He added, “Pastor Jerry, not only has he done this for me. I know of a couple of others like this he is currently planning. The man gives like his life depends on it. And I’m here to publicly say THANK YOU, PJ (Pastor Jerry) – You know, even if you never do this, I’d still love you the same. Thank you, Sir. Like I told you, I am speechless. May the smile you have put on my face and my family be seen in multiple folds on you and yours, in Jesus’ name.”
The gospel artiste further prayed that the happiness Eze had brought to him and his family would return to the pastor and his household in greater measure.
Bassey subsequently urged his followers to join him in appreciating Eze for the birthday gesture.
“So please, help me thank Him on my behalf. Weary him today with gratitude. Tell him his brother is grateful. Thank you,” he concluded.
Pastor Jerry Eze is the founder of Streams of Joy International and the convener of the online prayer platform NSPPD.
