Chris Oyakhilome reacts after fire guts Christ Embassy headquarters in Lagos
President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated better known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has said the fire incident at the church’s headquarters was not an accident but an avenue for bigger and better things.
The renowned pastor stated this during a live Sunday service at the church’s campground, Asese.
Intel Region reported that the headquarters of the Christ Embassy Church, located in the Oregun area of Ikeja, Lagos State, caught fire on Sunday morning.
Personnel of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service were on the scene to put out the fire.
According to worshippers, the morning service was immediately moved to Corner Stone — an annex of the church — due to the inferno.
A couple of worshippers said an electrical spark may have been responsible for the fire.
However, reacting to the incident at the live service, Pastor Chris said, “Nothing happens in the life of a child of God by accident. During the 2001 Ikeja cantonment bombing incident, the building vibrated so much and we thought it was going to collapse.
“I thought to myself that if it collapsed I was going to build a bigger, better one. At the end of the day it didn’t collapse and we called the engineers to see if there was any need to bring it down and rebuild but it was still okay.
“Now that this has happened, we will build a bigger, better, and more glorious one and the devil will lick his wound.”
