The pastor also needed to study a bit further. Some will argue that the bible itself teaches not to treat faith in this manner. Deu 6:16 reads--"You must not put the LORD your God to the test as you did at Massah" .NET bible has the following study info.
"The place name Massah (מַסָּה, massah) derives from a root (נָסָה, nasah) meaning “to test; to try.” The reference here is to the experience in the Sinai desert when Moses struck the rock to obtain water (Exod 17:1-2). The complaining Israelites had, thus, “tested” the Lord, a wickedness that gave rise to the naming of the place (Exod 17:7; cf. Deut 9:22; 33:8)."
Perhaps in time of need, this pastors faith may have allowed for a water walking miracle, but not as a spectacle of some sort.

Very eloquently put. In order to be God's servant all one needs to do is to spread the truth (and this is coming from an athiest, why is it I know this and Pastor Franck Kabele doesn't?). The time for illusionists, spellcasters, and mieacle workers passed when Jesus ascended into heaven, and Pastor Franck Kabele was truely hypocritical or terribly misinformed about the nature of faith. I am very sorry he died. He is neither a miracle worker nor a maryter.
