Nigerian Pastor Tries to Walk on Water Like Jesus, Then Drowns in Front of His Congregation
ReportGhanaNews.Com ^ | January 8, 2014 | Kokonsa

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 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.

[ There is a Kenyan who (it’s been reported. Daily) can do it. You might even know his name. ]

You are wrong, he doesn’t walk on water, he just lowers the sea levels....

It appears Pastor Kabele for one forgot his First John. 4:1 says don’t believe every spirit, but test them to make sure they’re...not coming from the other place.

This story is so old ... I posted a similar one several years ago. Wonder how and why it was ‘resurrected’.

It sounds a lot easier than it is, I guess.

We got an African preacher right here in DC that can control the seas. He can heal the sick too.

“his attempt to become the second man to make this impossible feat a reality cost him his life.”

I would have expected a Christian news service to get it right and recognize he could be the third man at best. The second didn’t last long, but he did it for a little bit!

...I was the one assigned to teach them how to swim by lying on their stomachs on the center table and mimicking the swim strokes.

You were lying on their stomachs? Was this before or after DADT?

Yikes.

This video was all from one “incident” in Portland, Oregon. Liberals can’t drive!

Maybe he was related to the ones who sent me emails asking for money, or telling me i inherited some.

The writer is wrong, though, Jesus wasn’t the only one. He bid Peter to walk to Him and he did.

THEY were lying on their stomachs. BTW, my company commander insisted they be nekkid so the scene to any outsider would have been surreal. Them lying nekkid on the center table and me yelling at them to “KICK! STROKE! KICK! STROKE!”
