DAILY GIST could not immediately ascertained the cause of the inferno
Officials of the Lagos State Fire Service were seen in a video obtained making efforts to stop the fire from escalating.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is the founder of Christ Embassy Church.
Reacting to the incident, Oyakhilome said the fire outbreak at the church’s headquarters was not an accident but an avenue for bigger and better things.
He said this during a live Sunday service at the church’s campground, Asese.
He 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.”
