Pastor Jesse Duplantis reveals why Jesus is yet to return
An Evangelical Pastor, Jesse Duplantis has said that Jesus is yet to return because people have not donated the way God asked them to.
Speaking during a live TV event “Victorython” on Victory Channel, Duplantis said understanding this and donating will speed up the process of Jesus’ second coming.
He also bragged about being a multi-millionaire and owning a private plane. Duplantis said; “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.”

Drama as pastor Paul Enenche confronts lady for sharing fake testimony (Video)
Paul Enenche, the senior pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), on Sunday, called out a woman for sharing what he claimed to be a “false testimony”.
A short video from the DIGC’s service went viral on social media wherein he confronted the woman during her testimony.
The lady had taken to the altar to testify how she became the first graduate in her family. She also thanked God for making it possible for her to graduate with a “Law degree from the National Open University Of Nigeria (NOUN)”.
She recounted how some spiritual forces prevented her and her siblings from attending universities and how she overcame them.
Enenche, however, asked the lady what degree she graduated with and she said “Law”. The clergyman thereafter inquired to know what kind of “Law degree”, to which the lady answered “BSc in Law”.
The cleric immediately pointed out that there is no such thing as a “BSc in law” — casting doubt on her testimony.
“Your testimony is a lie. There is nothing like a BSc in Law. Please go back to your seat. Bsc in Law. Is that how lawyers speak English?” the cleric asked rhetorically.
“Please, anybody who comes to this altar to share a testimony that is not true, you do it at the risk of yourself.
“We are not playing here. We are not faking anything here.”
