A Zion Christian Church prophet, Alec Ndiwane, who tried to reenact the tale of Daniel in the bible, and who was reportedly filled with the Holy Spirit recently ‘challenged’ a lion to do battle in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
According to Daily Post South Africa, Prophet Alec Ndiwane who is based in the Pretoria Soshanguve was with fellow church members in the Kruger National Park where they were watching animals. It is believed the prophet went into a trance and started to speak in tongues. Ahead of them was a lion pride busy eating their impala.
Alec must have thought he was the biblical Samson. Buoyed by the “Holy Spirit”, Alec opened his car door and went charging towards the lion. Prophet Alec said he was moved by the holy spirit to challenge the lions and prove God was real.
However, upon seeing the man running towards them, the lions could not believed that manna was coming straight from heaven and ran towards the prophet.
Realizing that the game had changed, the prophet quickly made an immediate turn and ran back to safety. However, before he could safely reach the confines of the car, one lion had snapped its paws on him thus causing major damage to his buttocks.
Witnesses say Prophet was lucky that the game ranger who was near fired some shots with his gun to scare the lion away.
The injury was very severe that Alec had to be rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. The doctors affirmed the severity of the Prophet’s case, but assured that he would still have his left bum intact.
Alec was eventually stitched up and discharged after spending the night in hospital.
“I do not know what came over me,” Alec confessed, adding: “I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals. Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth.”
