A quick reminder not to dare God, after a popular South African pastor dies following 30 days fasting in a bid to break Jesus Christ's record.
In a determined bid to break the record set by Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, a 44-year-old popular South African pastor, Alfred Ndlovu, has
died of malnutrition following a dry fasting that lasted for 30 days.
According to Buzz South Africa, the cleric left home on June 17 for
a nearby bush to have prayers just like Jesus did in an attempt to
equal or break Jesus Christ's record of fasting for 40 days, but died
just a month despite having no history of illness.
It was learnt that the pastor was alone in the wilderness and his
body was found by a stranger who then called on his family, congragation
and the police.
He was known by his family and community at large as a very
spiritual person whose faith could move mountains and his death
surprised everyone, even church members.
A close relative said: "He was a very spiritual man. Its
unfortunate he had to die this way. After a month we got the sad news of
his death. Pastor was a healthy and religious old man who did not even
look his age."
