I know what you're thinking. "Christ Embassy on fire? That's impossible!" But it's true. The megachurch, founded by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, was recently engulfed in a blaze that destroyed much of the building.
I was driving by when I saw the smoke and flames. I couldn't believe my eyes. Christ Embassy is one of the most famous churches in Nigeria. It's a place where people go to find hope and healing. To see it on fire was heartbreaking.
The fire started in the early hours of the morning. By the time the firefighters arrived, the flames had already spread throughout the building. It took several hours to put out the fire, and by that time, much of the church was destroyed.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. But one thing is for sure: this is a huge loss for the Christian community in Nigeria. Christ Embassy is a place where people have found hope and healing. It's a place where people have come to know Jesus Christ. And now, it's gone.
I know that many people are wondering what will happen to Christ Embassy now. Will it be rebuilt? Will it continue to be a place where people can find hope and healing? I don't know the answers to those questions. But I do know this: God is still in control. He is still the God of hope and healing. And he will never leave us or forsake us.
