Bishop T.D. Jakes has opened up about his recent medical emergency in a video message to his congregation.
Earlier this week, The Shade Room reposted footage from a recent video message Jakes shared with his congregation. In the clip, the bishop explained that he’s “grateful” for this “season” in his life.
“…I am grateful to God for his goodness and his mercy and his grace,” he said. “if you don’t realize that you’re looking at a miracle…”
At that point, the bishop went on to say that he “faced a life-threatening calamity” and was “rushed to the ICU unit.”
“I had emergency surgery… survived the surgery… Yeah, I’m back,” he stated.
Before concluding, Bishop Jakes explained that his doctors instructed him to take his recovery slow. Ultimately, the bishop shared a message about the importance of taking care of oneself amid a busy schedule.
Watch his full statement to his congregation below.
Social media users entered The Shade Room’s comment section to continue to send prayers and well wishes to Bishop T.D. Jakes.
Instagram user @indulgingpleasures wrote, “My Bishop! No one! I mean NO ONE..can come against what God has already ordained for good! Sometimes he puts us down so we can get back up strong. Stay strong Sir and rest!”
While Instagram user @chloesogr8 added, “If you dont have anything nice to say keep it to yourself! Praying for a speedy recovery Bishop”
While Instagram user @angelamanueldavis added, “God is the GREATEST!!!!!! ”
As The Shade Room previously reported, on Sunday, November 24, Bishop Jakes appeared to have a medical emergency while sharing a sermon at the Potter House.
Afterward, the church issued a statement asserting that he received “immediate medical attention.”
Then, earlier this week, the bishop shared an emotional message while being wheeled out of what appeared to be a medical facility.
