Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the leader of LoveWorld Incorporated (also known as Christ Embassy), has addressed the recent fire at the church’s headquarters.
During a live service at the church’s campground in Asese, Pastor Chris who sees the incident as an opportunity for greater things, assured members that the fire was not an accident, but a chance to create something even better.
Beyond Boders reports that social media was filled with videos of the Oregun, Ikeja church building in flames on Sunday morning.
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,” he added.
At the time of reporting, the Lagos Fire Service was already at the scene, and there were no reports of casualties.
