Khulu Reinfirst Manyuka (73) AKA Jesus of Zimbabwe has died of malnutrition after he attempted to emulate the 40 days and night fast of Jesus of Nazareth.

Mr Khulu Manyuka reportedly left home on 15 June this year headed to the bush to conduct prayers, redirecting his attention to God, away from things of the earth. Manyuka was known by his family and community at large as a very spiritual person whose faith could move mountains. His death puzzled those dearest to him. A close relative who chose to speak on condition of anonymity broke the news.

“He was a very spiritual man. It’s unfortunate he had to die this way,” said a close relative.Manyuka was driven to the wilderness by the urge to emulate Christ but sadly he did not equal or break Christ’s record.“After a month we got the sad news of his death,” added the relative.

Family members said Manyuka had no history of illness.“He was a healthy and religious oldman who did not even look his age,” revealed one family member.

The exact day of his death remainsa mystery to both his family and friends as he was alone in the wilderness. His body was found by a stranger who then alerted the police. The police said Manyuka is not the first to die from fasting — numerous other cases have been reported.

“We have received such reports before, but we cannot stop the public from fasting,” police spokesperson said. (LIB)

That's what happens when you want to compare yourself with the most high. I think the man forgot that Jesus fasted at a young age and not @ 73

1 cor.3:11 says no other foundation can be laid other than the one laid by jesus christ

Even if its a single photo of this man, upload let's see. Stories like this without pics is like rice without stew

A healthy and nourished human body can go 40 days on only water. Infact on only water, it takes a healthy body 60 days before starvation sets in. And even after that, the body can still add five more days before starvation becomes acute.

So if someone dies fasting. The cause can be:

1. He was malnourished before he embarked on the fast.

It takes three days of a water fast for the body to move from glycogen (sugar as fuel) to ketosis (ketone or fat as fuel). And seven days after that for the daily ketone production to reach peak rate. If you've not been nourished before the fast, your body will lack fat to convert to energy when glucose is used up.

2. He had an underlying sickness that he didn't treat or manage before embarking on the fast.

Fasting is good, and it can even help remove toxins from blood and cure sicknesses. But there are some sicknesses that needs to be treated or managed beyond risk before you embark on a prolonged fast (10 days and above).

3. He didn't drink enough water.

You can't do a prolonged dry fast, its near impossible. Even Jesus drank water. The body can hardly do above a week without water, but can last well above 40 days on just water. If you are doing a prolonged water fast, you need atleast 2 litres of water per day. Prolonged fast without adequate water can get harmful from above day 14. Especially if you're also a little active during the day and you are under the sun.

All things being equal, fasting is very good. There is nothing to be afraid of about fasting. Fasting is not only healthy when done right, it is even advisable. Most people who express fears about prolonged fasting have not even attempted it before.

With God's grace, strong determination, and basic knowledge about fasting; 40 days water fasting is possible. And I'm talking from experience.
