Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, widely known as Christ Embassy, has declared that the fire incident at the church’s headquarters is an opportunity for greater things.
During a live Sunday service at the church’s campground in Asese, Oyakhilome stated that the incident was not an accident.
Social media was flooded Sunday morning with videos showing the church building in Oregun, Ikeja, engulfed in flames.
“Nothing happens in the life of a child of God by accident,” Oyakhilome said. “During the 2001 Ikeja cantonment bombing incident, the building vibrated so much we thought it would collapse. I thought if it did, I would build a bigger, better one. It didn’t collapse, and engineers confirmed it was still sound.”
“Now that this has happened, we will build a bigger, better, and more glorious one, and the devil will lick his wounds,” he added.
At the time of the report, the Lagos Fire Service had already responded to the incident, and no lives were reported lost.
