Walking
on water is not easy. Not too many people have the ability. Let’s see, there’s
Jesus, and well, that’s about it. Unfortunately for one pastor on the West
Coast of Africa, his attempt to become the second man to make this impossible
feat a reality cost him his life.
Pastor
Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation that he was capable of re-enacting the
very miracles of Jesus Christ. He decided to make it clear through way of
demonstration on Gabon’s beach in the capital city of Libreville.
Referencing
Matthew 14:22-33, Kabele said that he received a revelation which told him that
with enough faith he could achieve what Jesus was able to.
According
to an eyewitness, Kabele took his congregation out to the beach. He told them
that he would cross the Kombo estuary by foot, which is normally a 20 minute
boat ride.
Sadly
by the second step into the water Kabele found himself completely submerged. He
never returned.
This
is not the first incident of this nature in Africa. At Ibadon zoo in south-west
Nigeria, a self-proclaimed Prophet claimed to be able to do what the Daniel of
the bible did by walking into a den full of lions.
Though
he was warned numerous times by zoo keepers, according to NG Newspapers, the
Prophet thought of them as nothing more than enemies of progress. The Prophet,
with a crowd of people watching, put on a long red robe and proceeded to enter
the cage full of lions.
Within
seconds of opening the door, the lions ripped the Prophet from flesh to bone.
The bible should come with a warning label, “Don’t try this at home.”
