MIRACLE IS SUNK

A PRIEST has died after trying to demonstrate how Jesus walked on water.

Evangelist preacher Franck Kabele, 35, told his congregation he could repeat the biblical miracle.

But he drowned after walking out to sea from a beach in the capital Libreville in Gabon, west Africa.

One eyewitness said: "He told churchgoers he'd had a revelation that if he had enough faith, he could walk on water like Jesus.

"He took his congregation to the beach saying he would walk across the Komo estuary, which takes 20 minutes by boat.

"He walked into the water, which soon passed over his head and he never came back."

What I'm wondering is, why didn't anyone go in there and pull him out before he died?

he couldn't even swim, yet he wanted to walk on water?


It's sad, but he really should have had a backup plan.

His congregation had more faith than he had ability I suppose...

"God: 'What are you doing here so soon?'
Priest: 'I tried to walk on the water just like you told me to.'
God: 'I said wait until the water was frozen!'"

Proverbs 16:18 anyone...?

"Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
(King James Version)
