Worshippers and members of Love World International, commonly known as Christ Embassy, are recounting their ordeals, following yesterday’s mysterious fire that razed both the administrative block and the main auditorium of the church headquarters, in Oregun, Lagos State.
The Christ Embassy, love world international, caught fire yesterday mysteriously . The administrative block and the main auditorium of the church headquarters, in Oregun , Lagos State, was badly destroyed by fire.
The cause of the fire outbreak remains unknown at the time of the report, as the worshippers in the premise, flee to find help.
However, some unconfirmed sources blame the incident on a power surge from an electrical appliance. Because of this outbreak, many church members and workers who convened for service that morning fled for safety.
The fire started around 7am and was put off around 3:10pm according to reports, and it prevented worshippers from holding service at the church auditorium.
But thankfully, They all convened again in Asese, the Crusade Ground along Lagos/Ibadan expressway, Ogun State to hold their service.
Chinonso, a member of the church, said, it was because the church held its one week programme that was to end with a thanksgiving service at the Asese Camp ground hence the inferno did not lead to any casualty.
He said “I thank God that nobody was in the church when the incident started. We were informed about the incident at another branch of the church at Toyin Street, Ikeja during the service. We saw the building of our headquarters on fire on social media. We cried but yet gave thanks to God that nobody died or was injured.”
Jude, another of the church members disclosed that the church has a trained fire personnel and water hydrant system on standby to handle issues of fire outbreak.
Onyinyechi Elizabeth, another member said “It was not an ordinary fire. It was a spiritual attack. We could not believe that this incident would happen to this place. It is an enemy at work. Why has it not happened all this while? It is to cause a setback. This is a great loss.”
Chibuke Chukwu, another member, said, “It is terrible. It is not expected and we thank God that no life was lost. God knows the best. Pastor Chris is right now at Asese in a programme and all other senior pastors are with him.”
A passerby and a member of Household of God, Henry Egbuna, said, “When I saw the fire in the morning, I thought it was a tyre that was burning. Surprisingly, I saw firefighters who came to the scene of the incident. But some people from the church prevented them from gaining entrance to the church. They then went through another entrance which was an event centre beside the church with a ladder to gain entrance to the church.”
