His daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband, Touré Roberts, shared a video giving supporters an update that her father is resting and expressed gratitude for the prayers and support.

Obviously today could have been a tragic day. But it wasn't by the mercy of God, by the grace of God. Bishop is doing well. He's recovering well. He's under medical care. He's strong. We're trying to get him to sit down. He's the strong Bishop that we know," said Touré.

"I'm so grateful that he's already beginning to improve and I think it's just a reminder even going into this holiday season week to love on the people who you hold near and dear and just take the time to be grateful for all the people God's given you," added Sarah.

The family has not disclosed what caused the Bishop’s "slight health incident".
