Y'all TD Jakes had just sowed 10k for tithes and he was so happy. He literally just preached a good message and then he sat down on the stool and it's like he knew something was ongoing and nobody could tell if he was crying or something was wrong.

Y’all see someone having a medical emergency while giving a sermon and the first thing you want to do is hop on social media to say something weird and negative?
