A Christian 'prophet' has had his arse torn off by a lion after he claimed God wouldn't let it happen.
Alec Ndiwane, a Zion Christian Church prophet, bravely ran towards a pride of lions, adamant that the 'Lord's power over animals' would prevail and stop him from sustaining any serious injuries,
GhanaWeb reports.
Ndiwane performed the dangerous stunt on a safari trip in South Africa in front of his fellow church-goers.
"I do not know what came over me. I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals," Ndiwane said. "Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth."
The Christian man had spotted the lions preying on an impala in South Africa's Kruger National Park when he decided to sprint towards them. At this point, unfortunately, he was seen as prey, so the lions turned to him.
Realising his mistake, he turned on his heels and ran straight back to the car.
Unluckily, before he made it back, the Lord didn't intervene and one of the jungle cats chowed down on his derriere.
Luckily, a ranger was on hand to fire shots into the air to scare the animals away, saving Ndiwane from further injuries. He was rushed to hospital to have his wounds stitched.
"It would have been reported to us if any of our rangers had taken part in this incident as reported," Kruger National Park spokesman William Mabasa said.
Weirdly, it's not the first time someone has been daft enough to think mingling with lions is a good idea.
Mukesh Kumar, 35, got pissed up with his mates before going to the Nehru Zoo Park in Hyderabad, India, and jumped into an enclosure because he wanted to 'shake a lion's hand'.
The migrant labourer jumped into the moat surrounding the lions, causing a stir among horrified guests who heard him singing to the lions, 'Please come to me my darling'.

Zoo keepers reacted quickly to the screams and were able to lower a pole so he could climb out. The incident lasted a full 15 minutes and was captured by frightened eye-witnesses on mobile phones.
Mukesh was taken into police custody and charged under various sections of the Wildlife Protection Act.
"He told us he wanted to see the lions up close and shake hands with one of them," said Inspector Harish Kaushik. "He is lucky enough to have survived. The zoo keepers told us that it was the time of the cats for their feed and they responded to their voice when called out."

Must all dis miracle seeking people tempt the lord

@sagir1994,

The prophet "thought" that he heard from god, but he didn't!!! This is why it is dangerous to listen to the worthless words and the pathetic promises of the bible!!! No human being has dominion over any animal, except that animal is either dead, a pet, or completely harmless!!! ................................................................For those of you who think you have dominion over animals, they say a picture is worth a thousand words!!!........................................................AND 3 PICTURES ARE WORTH 3000 WORDS!!!

Pictures pls

Hehehehehehehehe, wild animals are no respecter of imaginary friends

Daniel in the Bible did not ever conceive the idea of sleeping in the den of lions to prove the greatness of God; he was cruelly thrown into it for his devotion to God and that was when God proved to the world that He is God, that He neither sleeps nor slumbers.

Shadrach, Meshac, and Abednego did not ask to be thrown into the furnace so as to prove to people that God saves. They were thrown into it against their will and God stepped into the flame to protect them.

Peter, when he saw Christ coming towards them walking on water, did not dare jump into the sea to walk towards Christ on water. He asked Christ that if He truly was the One that He should tell him to come towards Him. When Christ gave the command to come Peter was then able to walk on water but not before the command was given.

Many over zealous Christians have lost their lives through the misinterpretation of the Scriptures as regards these events. The miracles recorded in these events were never initiated by human will or power.

God protects and He still does but you don't have to intentionally jump into danger so as to make that point. He protects and saves when you face danger. Even then there are times He allows evil to befall His children because He has greater and better plans for them. All things are working for our good as children of God.

Though shalt not tempt the pride of lions, for they shall cheweth your buttocks like meat from an ass.
