South African Pastor Makes Congregation Eat Grass To Be Closer To God
Jan 10, 2014
By Ruth Manuel-Logan
Pastor Lesego Daniel has been at the center of some heated controversy, after it was publicized — via his Rabboni Centre Ministries in Garankuwa, South Africa’s Facebook page — that he had instructed congregation members to eat grass so that they can “be closer to God,” according to Times Live.
The minister, who is oftentimes referred to as a “miracle man,” reportedly made his congregation of about 1,000 eat the grass as part of a ritual to show that humans can be controlled by God’s spirit.
When the church members ate the grass, a few claimed they were cured of their ills. One woman, 21-year-old law student Rosemary Phetha claimed she suffered from a sore throat for an entire year. Once the young woman ingested the grass, she swore it healed her malady, telling Times Live, that the preacher “turned me into a sheep and instructed me to eat grass. Yes, we eat grass and we’re proud of it because it demonstrates that, with God’s power, we can do anything.” the young congregant enthused.
Doreen Kgatle, 27, told Times Live that she suffered a stroke two years ago that left her paralyzed and unable to walk; yet, after she obeyed her pastor’s wishes, it resulted in a cure. “I could not walk, but soon after eating the grass, as the pastor had ordered, I started gaining strength, and an hour later, I could walk again,” Kgatle contended.
As the obedient ministry followers ate the grass, Daniels was allegedly witnessed walking on top of his congregants as they were spread out across a lawn.
But not everyone was cured from what ailed them. Instead, many reportedly received more than what they bargained for when they became violently ill after ingesting the grass: Throngs of followers wound up vomiting.
The pastor's labrador retriever was observed to blush as his favorite patch of grass to squeeze one on was violated.
