In trying to reenact the tale of Daniel in the bible, a Zion Christian Church prophet who was reportedly filled with the Holy Spirit recently ‘challenged’ a lion to do battle in the Kruger National Park.

Daily Post South Africa reports that the prophet initially charged towards the lions, but they called his
bluff and charged back.
Prophet Alec Ndiwane who is based in the Pretoria Soshanguve was with fellow church members in the Kruger National Park where they were watching animals.
Sources disclose that the prophet went into a trance and started to speak in tongues. Ahead of them was a lion pride busy eating their impala.

Buoyed by the “Holy Spirit”, Alec opened the car door and went charging towards the lions. Upon seeing the man running towards them, the lions could not believed that manna was coming straight from heaven and instead ran towards the prophet.
Realizing that the game had changed, the prophet quickly made an immediate turn and ran back to safety. However, before he could safely reach the confines of the car, one lion had snapped its paws on him thus causing major damage to his buttocks.
Witnesses say Prophet was lucky that the game ranger who was near fired some shots with his gun to scare the lion away.
The injury was very severe that Alec had to be rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. The doctors affirmed the severity of the Prophet’s case, but assured that he would still have his left bum intact.
Alec was eventually stitched up and discharged after spending the night in hospital.
“I do not know what came over me,” Alec confessed, adding: “I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals. Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth.”
This is not the first time a rather outrageous test of faith of this nature has been practiced in Africa.
There was the case of one Pastor Franck Kabele, 35, who told his congregation that he was capable of reenacting the very miracles of Jesus Christ., one of which was walking on water.
Kabele decided to make it clear through way of demonstration on Gabon’s beach in the capital city of Libreville.
He took his congregation out to the beach and reportedly drowned while trying to cross by foot the Kombo estuary which is normally a 20 minute boat ride.
There was also the case of a certain Prophet who claimed to be able to do what Daniel of the bible did by walking into a den full of lions.
At Ibadan zoo in south-west Nigeria, the self-proclaimed prophet was warned numerous times by zoo keepers, but he thought of them as nothing more than enemies of progress.
Prophet Abodunrin as his name goes, was said to have put on a long red robe and proceeded to enter the cage full of lions, with a crowd of people watching,.
Witnesses disclose that within seconds of opening the door, the lion ripped him off from flesh to bone.
