Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, better known as Christ Embassy, has asserted that the fire incident at the church’s headquarters in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos, is not a setback but an opportunity for greater things.
During a live Sunday service at the church’s campground in Asese, Pastor Oyakhilome addressed the incident, which had been widely shared on social media earlier in the day.
“Nothing happens in the life of a child of God by accident,” he said.
Recalling a previous near-catastrophe, he added, “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.
lAt 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.”
Referring to the current situation, he continued, “Now that this has happened, we will build a bigger, better, and more glorious one and the devil will lick his wound.”
