In a follow-up video, Smith expressed his amazement at the fact that over 12,000 people watched his livestream, saying, “When I preach, I might get four or five hundred people looking.” He joked with his leadership laughingly saying, “Maybe I need some more fire in my preaching — I got to burn down something every week.”
The pastor continued by saying, “God has a way of bringing attention to you, and I want you all to know that He’s about to bring some attention to you. And when He brings this attention to you He’s gonna let you shine.”
The pastor let people know that the fire won’t stop him from doing the Lord’s work, sharing that he doesn’t plan to miss any of his scheduled speaking engagements. Smith said, “We aren’t going to let no little fire stop us. It’s like fire in my bones!”
Smith said the fire was accidental and suspects it started from a heater or electronics near his daughter’s bed. His daughter and godson lost all their possessions in the fire.
