Pastor Tries To Walk On Water, Drowns In Front Of His Congregation

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 Ibadon 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."
