The president and founder of Loveworld Incorporated, popularly known as Christ Embassy, Chris Oyakhilome has reacted to the fire incident at the church headquarters at Oregun, Lagos.
Fire gutted the church building in Ikeja on Sunday morning.
Personnel of the Lagos fire and rescue service were present at the scene to put out the fire.
Whilst speaking in one of the church services, Oyakhilome stated that the fire presents an opportunity for the church to build a bigger and more befitting .
“Some years ago, I wished I had a better design for the affected place. But then, it would have required that we take off the roof. But now, I’ve got the opportunity to have something better there,” he said.
“When something like this happens, what does God think? God just gives us an opportunity to do something about it. What are we going to do? The house is gone, we clear out the place and build a better one. A more beautiful one. That is what we are going to do.
“Let the devil lick his wounds. We must look at life from the spiritual. This is not what we call an accident. Everything that happens in our lives is all planned.”
