‘I give thanks unto the Lord that I did not have a stroke’ – Bishop Jakes speaks after Sunday’s health incident

Three days after experiencing a slight health incident while preaching to his congregation, Bishop T.D. Jakes has expressed gratitude to God for his intervention and keeping him alive.

In a tweet on November 27 soon after he was discharged from the hospital, the motivational speaker and preacher shared a heartfelt message thanking his church members, family members and medical professionals for their care and love during the difficult times.

He said had it not been for God’s intervention, the situation would have been dire. Bishop T.D. Jakes debunked reports about his health incident being a possible stroke attack.

“I give thanks unto the Lord that I did not have a stroke, however the event could’ve been fatal if it weren’t for God’s intervention. A special thank you to God and the medical professionals in our city whose speed and expertise were beyond exceptional,” he tweeted.

Bishop Jakes further applauded his family and team for the support and said he will “recuperate and reflect on God’s protection.”

“I owe it to my amazing family and church members to rest and ruminate as He restores me towards His service.

“As God calls us to honor the Sabbath, I’m reminded that rest is not a weakness – it is a divine gift. While I continue to be strengthened by His grace, I stand in awe of my family and the tremendous leadership team that surrounds me.

“Together, we press forward, steadfast in the work the Lord has set before us. I’ve heard from friends from the global community who expressed God’s love in ways that were astonishing! God’s faithfulness was unmistakable to all those present. I’m forever humbled by your outpouring of love and support. I will always give my best. May His presence continue to guide and sustain you and provide peace and protection over you all,” he added.
