You are blessed in the morning, afternoon, and night. Everywhere you go, there will be light. Your presence will bring direction where there is confusion."

He continued, "You are a solution and never a problem. God is blessing you and will continue to bless you. You are a fountain of blessings to the Adelekes, not disgrace. You have fought battles, and God says He has taken over."
