A self-proclaimed Christian prophet found out the hard way he's no Daniel-in-the-lion's-den.
According to local reports, Alec Ndiwane ran toward a pride of lions at Kruger National Park in South Africa to demonstrate his divine domination over the animals.
He was nearly mauled to death.
Ndiwane’s followers said he fell into a trance and started to speak in tongues as they drove through the park. Nearby, a lion pride was eating an impala and Ndiwane opened the car door and charged into them.
“I do not know what came over me,” Ndiwane told GhanaWeb. “I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals.”
A game ranger fired shots to scare the lions away, but not before they ate a lot of Ndiwane’s right buttock. He was rushed to hospital where he was stitched up and later discharged.

Operative term here is "self-proclaimed", spam. "I do not know what came over me" speaks volumes.

How is this a topic Christian?

I loved the speaking in tongues bit of course rolling on the ground is a trait
in some of these religious groups too. The Lord works in mysterious ways
that's the other divine answer for I don't know the answer. I think religion is
all about i don't know what came over me.
Perhaps if there were more lions in Roman times we wouldn't have so many
problems today. On the other hand we would have to lean about all those
Gods and Goddesses from the Greeks and Romans
Those lions sure did tickle his fancy though eh?
