The General Overseer of Action Chapel International, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has implored the media to desist from publishing stories about his son's outbursts on social media because he suffers from acute bipolar disease.
In a statement issued on Tuesday in reaction to multiple viral video posts by Daniel Duncan-Williams, the family said Daniel has been battling with the disease for the past six years.
According to the statement, the failure to continue his prescribed medication causes him to relapse which results in his obscene social media posts.
"The significance of psychological health has become very personal to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and his family. Six years ago, Archbishop’s son, Daniel Duncan-Williams, was diagnosed with acute bipolar disease. Through the family, Daniel has undergone the very best medical interventions, treatments and hospitalizations, yet he still experiences relapses when he does not continue on his prescribed medication," the statement said.
"His outbursts on social media and elsewhere should not be media fodder or click-bait; We acknowledge that the obscenities are abhorrent but understand that he has a serious illness. Daniel is not of himself and he has never been in prison".
In another statement, the Archbishop said he still loves his son and asked for prayers for his healing.
"The Archbishop says “this is a test of his faith. In his own words; “I acknowledge the situation my son is in, and I still love him…please pray for us…. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
"The Archbishop and his family continue to stand firm in their faith believing God for Daniel’s full deliverance, healing and restoration. We ask that you please respect their privacy as they navigate through this trying time".

Mental Health: Toll, Tragedies and Hope
The significance of psychological health has become very personal to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams and his family. Six years ago, Archbishop’s son, Daniel Duncan-Williams, was diagnosed with acute bipolar disease. Through the family, Daniel has undergone the very best medical interventions, treatments and hospitalizations, yet he still experiences relapses when he does not continue on his prescribed medication.
His outbursts on social media and elsewhere should not be media fodder or click-bait; We acknowledge that the obscenities are abhorrent but understand that he has a serious illness. Daniel is not of himself and he has never been in prison.
Historically, many mega pastors have all had to deal with their personal family challenges in the public eye and in this same vein, we also ask you to separate “who a person is from their mistakes”. We love Daniel, and we believe God’s mercy turns what was meant for evil to good, for them that love the lord and are called according to his purpose. Daniel also continues to be covered and supported spiritually with intense and consistent prayers.
The Archbishop has prayed all over the world for nations, leaders, pastors, families, mothers and lay people and at this time, he asks that you join in prayer for Danny and the family. We are believing, with God on our side, that Daniel will come out of this stronger and with a testimony to the glory of God.
The Archbishop says “this is a test of his faith. In his own words; “I acknowledge the situation my son is in, and I still love him…please pray for us…. “Love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8
The Archbishop and his family continue to stand firm in their faith believing God for Daniel’s full deliverance, healing and restoration. We ask that you please respect their privacy as they navigate through this trying time.

Wooooooow, I like the quotations, it appears wearing wedding gown , suit and tie and exchanging rings is not just a white man matter again ooooo. It's now a world cup. Whether the man is killing you or the woman is killing you, let no man separate. Keep quiet and suffer and die whiles the other partner is alive and enjoys. Be wise
@ bond, may God show you mercy on the day ahead when you need it wse !!!! Can you show me one Bible verse that says till death do you part . Its not your fault, Africans swallowed whatever the white said and the same white who said put on white gown, blazer and tie and go and stand in front of church and curse yourself when no where in the Bible was that done , the same white man says man " chopping " man and woman being unfortunate with fellow woman is the best.
