NAIROBI. — American mega-pastor Bishop TD Jakes has apologised for remarks he made at his church in Dallas, Texas, yesterday which rubbed off some Kenyans the wrong way.Bishop Jakes made the comments that were seen as an exaggeration of his work in Kenya during a sermon he was delivering at the Potter’s House where his church is based.
He regretted what he called a misunderstanding saying that “it was only meant to communicate to his constituents that his love is for people as demonstrated through years of practical ministry.”
The Bishop made the Kenya comments as he attempted to distance himself from a new American TV reality series “Preachers of LA (Los Angeles)” which he lamented was portraying preachers in a negative light.
The reality show follows the lives of six larger than life pastors who are usually flamboyant and show off their lavish lifestyles with big cars and large mansions.
Bishop Jakes in his sermon went ahead to criticise the show, saying it was not a portrayal he would want to be associated with.
It was at this time when he attempted to show the differences between the pastors in the show and himself that he made these comments:
“So let the work I’ve done speak for me. You are sowing into good ground. And the 300 families that are employed in this ministry eat from this ministry, work in this ministry, and help us to produce the excellence that we do,” he explained. — Daily Nation.
