Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy, addressed the recent fire incident at the church’s headquarters, stating that it was not an accident but an opportunity for greater things.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's Vision for Rebuilding

During a live Sunday service at the church’s campground in Asese, Pastor Oyakhilome expressed his determination to turn the unfortunate event into a stepping stone for improvement. Social media was flooded with videos of the fire at the Christ Embassy building in Oregun, Ikeja, on Sunday morning.

Statements on Resilience and Future Plans

Pastor Oyakhilome reassured the congregation, saying:

“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.”

Quick Response and Safety Measures

The Lagos Fire Service responded promptly to the fire, ensuring that the situation was brought under control. Fortunately, no lives were reported lost during the incident.
