Popular American televangelist, Bishop TD Jakes has said he is not afraid to die as he addressed the public for the first time since a recent health emergency.
In an incident that went viral, the founder of the Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas was on stage Sunday finishing an hour-long sermon when he lowered his mic and began trembling.
The church later shared a statement on Facebook stating that its founder had a ‘slight health incident’ during Sunday service and received immediate medical attention.
In a short video posted online on Wednesday, TD Jakes expressed gratitude to the medical team that attended to him and well-wishers who sent their prayers.
He emphasised that he did not suffer a stroke but thanked God for sparing his life, noting that his condition could have been fatal without divine intervention.
Acknowledging the medical personnel nearby, he said, “I’m so grateful. So grateful to y’all.”
However, the 67-year-old megachurch founder and author stated that he was not afraid to die.
He said, “I’m not afraid to die. I don’t want to hurt my kids and the people who love me and my church that needs me. The world who called me and the God who sent me. Sometimes you just got to be grateful.”
