Oprah’s Next Chapter: T.D. Jakes Addresses Criticism for How He Handles Wealth


Oprah Winfrey asked T.D. Jakes how he would respond to critics who say that he lives immodestly. Jakes said that he doesn’t live in a way that’s self-serving. He also said that critics should focus their attention on people who have smaller congregations and still live in wealth.

    Ahhhh yessssssss Prosperity Gospel………………When Jesus arose amongst the Poor………..Isn’t this the same Brotha that Backed out of the Million man march, and instead took a hand out from Bush? His Cogregation will be chasing him down the street 1 day…..The knowledge he truly holds should free the minds!

    This guy and other churches are serious contradictions. Many morons who support these people are and have lost everything and some are probably eating cat food. If you’re to pimp with a church, everyone who supports you should reap the same benefits that you do. Some black folks can be real fools and continue to gotta get over before they get under.

    There is a difference between “inhibited” and “inhabited”, a vast difference

  • Alert

    no respect for jakes and other pimps
    acts 2- the church shared everything no one was in need

    T.D.Jakes,and Judas had their own concept on how they could earn a living.And God said as a man sow,affirms how he will reap.Jakes is nothing less then a latter day Judas who like others of his kind,continually package,and sell their version of gospel only for the purpose of enriching themselves.But there’s another side to that coin that him,and others have stolen with a kiss from the masses.And it’s this the wealth that they pursue is in reality,the cheese that ignites the trap that will slam down upon their necks as judgement from on High.So consider this,his T.D.Jakes lifestyle has become his curse,that his congregation is making a down payment on,but they,themselves are at risk of becoming the cheese that is discarded with the mouse whose neck has been snapped by the mouse trap.When people take it upon themselves to support a man,whose actions are clearly seen,and known to be self serving,then they inadvertently become the corrupt fruit that attached to that rotten tree that happens to be their pastor.And that corrupt tree will be cut to roots on a spiritual,physiological,as well as a physical scale,as it and the fruit themselves is thrown in the fires of God’s Judgement.

    The people of the mega churches are suffering. These prosperity preachers are riding around in $100,000 car, million dollar homes etc. and the people of the church are suffering. That is not of God. That is not how God intended for it to be.

    “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves
    into the apostles of Christ.

    And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

    2 Corinthians 11:13-14

    What a fool Jakes is and how deluded he is to believe his own narassistic lies. I pity the people he lives off of.
