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 reenacting
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 Ibadan 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.”
