    It's one of two thing. Either this was naked stupidity or perhaps he goes straight to Heaven.

    The man of God died for many followers. He has paid a price for those who can not fast. Through his death many are going to experience a great breakthrough in their lives. May His Soul Rest In Peace.

    He was one of those idiots who abused the name of God and Jesus Christ in vain to deceive their flock they deliberately milk.

    Anyway, may his "sins" be forgiven and may he RIP.

    He died due to his own foolishness and ignorance.

    Kabokabo, don't be silly! He's not the next Jesus & his death can never redeem his followers. He died because of his own foolishness.

  • Hmm... 10 years ago

    Jesus Christ is the only Way, Truth and Life without him no salvation nor forgiveness of sin. Even Moses whom God himself said 'he knew face to face' didn't die for anyone how much less this man? Stop deceiving yourself, boy. ...

    Don't be silly, be civil. Remember, you are also mortal. Who are you to judge?

    And don't be stupid also. The bloke was on his own and not for anyone's cause.

    Another fool exposing himself. You don't belong to a civilized society. It is only an animal who will jubilate over the death of a human being.

  • Osei Yao 10 years ago

    HAS NOBODY TOLD THESE IGNORANT FOLKS THAT FASTING ONLY PUNISHES THE BODY AND HAS NO SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE?

  • EMMA 10 years ago

    You need to Google the health benefits of fasting, or buy an encyclopedia on the philosophy of fasting, and you will know the truth.

  • Vodoo Xebieso 10 years ago

    Yes, we all know that, but again the holy book admonishes that for the sake of one's health, one should not undertake excessive fasting which of course is damn harmful to health.

  • Asiwome 10 years ago

    I wish our young people especially will fast when it comes to sex. Waiting and anticipation are not necessarily bad. They teach strength of character.

    My father died in March 1985 after fasting for 40 days. He was just 45.
    My siblings and I really suffered to survive.
    I have never forgiven him but I miss him sorely after all these years.

    Tintin, you're damn right. All these self-annointed and self-ordained pastors, reverends and bishops are nothing but a gang of liars using the name of God and Jesus Christ in vain to advance their personal goals in life.

    The way we communicate is very important. Did a doctor say the bishop died after 21 days fasting? We have to stop adding one and one to get four. Shame on the writer of this article.

    Jesus and Moses did fast 40 days each. Why is nobody telling us how they fast so that Christians of today can emulate if they can? Today you hear of DRY FASTING and WET FASTING. Which one did Jesus or Moses do? Maybe none.

    I have seen 3 kinds of fasting in the Bible;
    1. Partial fast. Daniel did it. He did not eat all he could.
    2. Absolute fast. No food, no water. Esther and her attendants plus Mordecai and co did it for only 3 days. It's n ...

    The Lord did not instruct him to starve himself, knowing darn well the danger it imposes on the body. Don't blame God for the foolish life course one makes.

    Why is this story reading to me like the Church and its people are seeing this as if it is a heroic deed. This is supposed to be tragic.

    Please we should be careful of how we speak to our leaders, most especially our ancestors. We should ask ourselves will we also die, if we do, what will the living say about us?
