Televangelist Kenneth Copeland recently sparked controversy with his remarks about how Christians should handle the current coronavirus pandemic. Despite the economic challenges many are facing, Copeland urged his followers to continue tithing and sowing seeds, emphasizing that their source of income is not their job, but Jesus.
In a video message, Copeland addressed his audience, dismissing fear of the virus and job loss, stating that their job is not their ultimate source of provision, but rather Jesus. He urged them to keep tithing and giving offerings, even if they cannot physically attend church, suggesting alternative methods such as emailing or texting their contributions.
Copeland’s comments have drawn mixed reactions, especially considering his previous assertion that God had revealed to him that the end of the pandemic was imminent.
