The Oxygen Network is very happy since their new show “Preachers of L.A.” drew in 1.1 million total viewers for it’s October 9 premiere, the second highest rated series premiere in Oxygen’s history.

Bishop T.D. Jakes is not in agreement with some of the messages generated by the show and according to the Christian Post, he made time to address his congregation on his position.

 

Bishop Jakes wanted to make it clear to his congregants that they didn’t have to worry about their offerings going to his suits, houses or cars, because he’s always had his own money.

“Now, I know you been watching that junk on TV. I want to tell you right now, not one dime of what you’re sowing right now will buy my suit. I want you to know my car is paid for,” Jakes told his congregation Sunday, according to EEW magazine reports. “I want you to know I got my house on my own. I want you to know I’m not bling-blinging. I am not shake and bake. I had money when I came to Dallas and I plan to have some when I leave.”

Jakes went on to rebuke the spirit that caused people to think that financial contributions should go into preachers’ pockets.

“You did not buy what I got. I had it when I came here. You know I had it when I came here. The devil is a lie,” Jakes told his congregation. “I have sold enough books and produced enough movies. I don’t need your offering to pay for this little slimy suit. So I rebuke that spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.”

If there was any question about exactly who or what Jakes was referencing he told his congregation, “I’m not from L.A. I’m from Dallas!”
