An evangelist, Jesse Duplantis has stated that Christian’s Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ is yet to return because people have not donated enough finances the way God wants them to.
During a live TV event “Victorython” on Victory Channel, Duplantis stated that understanding his statement and donating will speed up the process of Jesus’ second coming.
Duplantis also bragged about being a multi-millionaire and owning a private plane. In his words,
“I honestly believe this – the reason why Jesus hasn’t come is that people are not giving the way God told them to give.
“When you understand this, you can speed up the time.
“I really believe this, if people would call this number and put this victory all over the world, every available voice, every available outlet, God the Father would say, ‘Jesus, go get ’em.’ Because, you see, he wants to see us as much as we want to see him. … And so what is hindering all these things is because people are not doing in the financial realm — because we’re living in an economic world — what God’s called them to do.
“So I don’t have a problem with giving, I don’t have a problem with receiving. It doesn’t make any difference. I just made up my mind, I want Jesus to come.”
His claim has since caused a frenzy online with a number of people accusing him of “using the name of God to make money off of poor people, ignorant people, elderly people.”
