According to him, “It’s the Lord’s doing and I’m excited about it and that means more assignment on the way. It’s a mixed feeling in the sense that the task ahead of us is much, I feel highly exalted because it is beyond expression. This is the day I have been waiting for and it eventually came to pass. I want to thank God for giving me the grace to be alive to experience what is happening in my life today and I really give thanks to Him.”
