TD Jakes, bishop of The Potter’s House, a megachurch in the United States, suffered a health scare after delivering a sermon on Sunday.
As Jakes rounded off his sermon
with a prayer, social media videos showed how his movements slowed.
“The meditations of my heart be
acceptable in thy sight, oh Lord,” Jakes prayed amid laboured breaths.
“My strength and my redeemer,
let them go in peace,” he added with his head bowed while slowly lowering the
microphone.
Soon afterwards, the bishop’s
head began to bob back and forth as his body jerked awkwardly.
Church officials ran towards
him to prevent an imminent collapse.
In a statement on Facebook, The
Potter’s House said the renowned pastor and author received immediate medical
attention and is currently in stable condition.
“The entire Potter’s House
family is grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from the
community. Thank you for your understanding and continued prayers,” the
statement added.
The church did not share if
Jakes was hospitalised following the incident or what may have caused it.
