Meet Prophet Elijah from Angola who has reportedly been fasting for 9 years, plans to continue until 2056
An Angolan prophet identified as Prophet Elijah has gone viral after claims surfaced that he has been fasting for nine consecutive years and plans to continue until the year 2056.
According to reports making rounds on social media, the prophet revealed that he has survived solely on water throughout the period of his spiritual journey. His unusual act of devotion has stirred massive reactions online, with many expressing disbelief while others praised his level of faith and endurance.
In the clip shared online by X influencer @AsakyGRN, prophet Elijah appears physically lean yet energetic.
The new clip has circulated online, attracting global attention and curiosity about how he sustains such a prolonged fast.
@AsakyGRN accompanied the video that has generated over 700K impressions on X formerly called Twitter with the caption;
The video has fuelled massive reactions on the microblogging platform, with many sharing their opinions. See below;
@Mubarak43934847 commented; “Are people allergic to basic biology? The West sent rockets to Mars while we’re here worshipping a man who’d be a corpse in 40 days without food. There’s zero knowledge in starving for 9 years. He’s not fasting, he’s feasting on your ignorance. Science says you die. History says scams thrive where critical thinking is on vacation.”
@fobecyril said; “Africa with religious wahala, if baba fall like this una go blame witch£s 🤣.”
@vimoustim reacted; “ Now 9 years is a whole different level when typically the human body can’t exceed 60 days. 🤣.”
@miki_djan spills; “Please did they say what kind of fast he is doing? Ramadan is a fast for a long period but it has breaks Maybe he is on a long fast with breaks So lets get more details instead of jumping to conclusions.”
@alaye_ng uttered; “If them show the members the food wey their oga dey chop eh dem go stop all this fooling once.”
Whether or not Prophet Elijah’s claims are true, his story has undeniably sparked global debate about faith, science, and the limits of human endurance. Some view his act as an extraordinary spiritual sacrifice, while others see it as biologically impossible without divine intervention or deception.
But beyond the controversy, one can’t help but wonder if this is truly a miraculous calling or just another sensational claim meant to test how far people’s beliefs can stretch? What do you think – could someone really survive nine years on just water?
