“You didn’t get here by chance or by fluke, it’s many years of hard work, bending your back and working tirelessly, in brokenness, in pain, with sweat, tears and blood. With almost nothing, with a little, and with abundance. You didn’t flinch!!!

“You set the pace, you paved the way, you opened our eyes to possibilities, and you opened the door to a billion, and we thought it was something. You didn’t stop; now you have shown us that $ 2 billion and more is possible.

“I like what it is that God is doing with you. I pray that He doesn’t stop and that His grace continues to carry you now and always. Congratulations to you, the entire cast and crew. Cheers to great wins. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!”.
