Snake Causes Chaos
The Vision Reporter
A huge snake slithered into a church forcing people to abandon prayers and flee for their dear lives.
The incident happened at Musese Church in Busui sub-county, Mbale district recently. Sarah kainza, one of the Christians who attended the service said they had closed their eyes in prayer and when they opened them, a snake had coiled around the leg of the priest’s chair. On seeing the huge reptile the congregation scattered in disarray although it was making no movement.
The priest convinced the frightened Christians to remain calm as he suspected that it was possibly God’s power which was manifesting itself in form of a snake. but as if on cue, the snake started uncoiling from the chair and all the people fled the church leaving only the priest who remained on his knees prayig for the snake to disappear.
However, he too was forced to flee. He dropped his bible and fled after the snake started coming towards him with its flat head up. Many people laughed at the priest afterwards and commented that sometimes we are blinded by our religious beliefs which can easily put us in trouble. They wondered why the priest had not kept on his knees. Many talked about the Kanungu incident where people had needlessly lost their lives. Ends
