A South African pastor, Light Monyeki of the Grace Living Hope Ministries, has made his church members demonstrated the power of faith by causing them to drink Rattex rat poison.

He reasoned that if street children can smoke cigarettes made from the “Rattex” poison’s powder, popularly known as “nyaope,” there will be no harm if people of faith drank it. What a time to be alive.

Monyeki held the plastic bottle up and then declared “life from above upon the water mixed with Rattex; and spoke nourishment unto bodies and healing unto the sick”

After he drank from the bottle, a multitude of congregants voluntarily ran to the front to partake of the deadly poison.

Photos have emerged showing him mix the poison with water, being the first to drink it and then offering it to his congregants

It is not clear if the pastor and the congregants were harmed by the deadly concoction.
