Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has boasted that the church “will build a bigger, better, and more glorious one” in the aftermath of the fire that gutted Christ Embassy Church headquarters on Sunday.
The President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, popularly known as Christ Embassy, gave the assurance while reacting to the unfortunate incident.
He spoke during Sunday service at the church’s campground in Ogun State, assuring the congregation that the church would build a bigger headquarters.
“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.”
Prompt NEWS had reported that the fire that engulfed the main auditorium of the Church Headquarters at Oregun, Ikeja, has been put under control.
Mrs Margret Adeseye, Director, LSFRS, said the fire escalated because the church’s fire service thought they could handle the situation by themselves without recourse to the Lagos fire service.
