Televangelist Jesse Duplantis recently defended his wealth as being “blessed by God” and calling poverty a “curse.” “Let me give you a prime example why I don’t care what people think about me, about what I have. Now look at me. Look at me. I am a very blessed man,” Duplantis said during an online “Boardroom Chat” session with his wife, Cathy, earlier this month.
According to The Christian Post, Duplantis has an estimated worth of around $20 million, and wealth includes a private jet and a 40,000-square-foot mansion in Louisiana.
“Me and Cathy are very blessed. I’m spiritually, physically, and financially [blessed]. I’ve had more people criticize me over that jet. They still can’t get over it. Criticize me over my house. They didn’t pay for it. I paid for it. Do you understand what I say?” he asked.
In 2018, Duplantis received backlash for attempting to raise money from his followers to purchase a $54 million jet.
In the “Boardroom Chat” session, Duplantis contended that disobedience is the reason for most people’s troubles.
“Most people’s troubles come because people disobey. That is just simply the truth. Wars, rumors of wars, people always mad about somebody,” he said. “It’s usually someone who has enough power to change ‘people’s thinking,’ I call it. Especially in the Church, I call it Christian propaganda.”
He pointed out what he considers to be propaganda in the Church.
“You know that ‘poverty is a blessing?’ That’s a lie. Poverty is a curse. It’s not in Heaven, none whatsoever,” he said, citing common phrases some Christians use against the prosperity gospel.
