However, the President and founder of LoveWorld Incorporated, better known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has said the fire incident 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 in Asese, Ogun State.

This was revealed in multiple videos from the scene shared on X.com on Sunday.
