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.”
