TD Jakes, bishop of The Potter’s House, a megachurch in the United States, has had a health scare after preaching on Sunday.
As Jakes concluded his talk with a prayer, social media videos revealed that 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 after, the bishop’s head began to bounce back and forth, and his body shook uncomfortably.
Church officials dashed towards him to avoid an impending fall.
The Potter’s House stated on Facebook that the renowned pastor and author received rapid medical attention and is presently 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 say whether Jakes was hospitalised after the incident or what caused it.
