In a recent post on Facebook, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, founder of Christ Embassy, offered a message of resilience and faith in the face of unexpected challenges during a recent sermon. Addressing his congregation, Pastor Oyakhilome encouraged a response rooted in spiritual confidence rather than worldly anxiety.
He emphasized the importance of a faith-based perspective, advising against becoming entangled in debates over the causes of such events. He shared that he was not surprised by the situation, reflecting a steadfast trust in divine protection. He reminded the congregation that their existence is governed by divine principles, distinct from secular reasoning.
According to him, "When something like this happens don't be moved one bit. Move beyond it. Instead of debating the cause, move beyond it..we are not like this world. We don't reason like this world. Was I surprised? No. Not even the slightest surprise. When something like this happens, we have to remember that we are not of this world. Every single day, God protects us. He protects everything that he give us with his glory and his grace. Everyday his angels are with us."
