The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Bishop Stephen Adegbite, who also doubles as the Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Lagos State has extended his condolences to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Founder and President of Love World Church (Christ Embassy), following a fire incident that ravaged the church headquarters in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos State, last Sunday.

The NCPC boss made this known in a press statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja through the Deputy Director, Media and Public Relations, Celestine Toruka.

Bishop Adegbite described the incident as “most unfortunate and regrettable” and urged Pastor Oyakhilome not to be deterred. He acknowledged the destruction of valuable assets but expressed faith in God’s provision and restoration. He encouraged Pastor Oyakhilome to take solace in the fact that no lives were lost and urged the congregants to remain calm, committed, and focused on their service to God.

The NCPC boss prayed for God’s salvation and rebuilding of the church, requesting the Lord’s continued protection for Pastor Oyakhilome, his family, and the entire congregation.
