SPOTTED: Saka wears wristband inscribed with Streams of Joy church slogan

Bukayo Saka, Arsenal FC winger, has been spotted wearing a wristband inscribed with the slogan of Streams of Joy International, a popular online prayer programme. 

At a pre-season training session, Saka wore a wristband that said, “What God cannot do does not exist”.

The phrase is a slogan commonly used by Jerry Eze, convener of Streams of Joy International and the New Season Prophetic Prayers (NSPPD), a Nigerian church.

Saka is an English footballer of Nigerian descent.

The 24-year-old Arsenal academy product has openly expressed his faith on several platforms, and “GodsChild” is the hashtag in his Instagram bio.

Saka, who attended the Kingsborough Centre, a Pentecostal church in Uxbridge, has previously stated that his “faith in God” pulled him through the racial abuse he suffered following his penalty miss at Euro 2020 as a 19-year-old.

The Arsenal winger once said the bible is an essential tool in his life and he actively reads it.

“It’s really special to me, I try to read it every night before I go to bed. I’ve learned a lot from it and still reading it all the time, so it’s important for me,” he said.

“Reading this bible all the time helps me to learn more and more about God. I normally memorise the messages and what it means and try and take it into my life.”

Saka, an integral member of Arsenal since breaking into the first team, has contributed 92 goals and 86 assists in 316 appearances for the Gunners.
