Blessed thanked her for being his “wife, best friend and sister,” promising to stand by her no matter the weather.
He wrote: “Happy 31st birthday to my queen, @mercychinwo my reward from God and the physical evidence that I’m blessed! The fulfillment of a prophecy! The spoken word of God made flesh. The wife of the priesthood! My safe place, my joy and peace.
“The tangible evidence that the Lord is pleased with me and a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Thank you for being my best friend, sister and wife. Thank you for saying yes to me. Today and forever, I promise to stand by you no matter the weather and together we shall fulfil our purpose!
“I pray that in this new age, the hand of the Lord will rest mightily upon your life for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. I declare, that every time you sing, your voice will pierce the sky and the Lord will make it rain.
“I declare, that your anointing we rise like the sun and no man can stop it! We will only feel the heat! (Hit…back to back) Your songs will bring healing to the sick, strength to the weak and comfort to the brokenhearted.
“The Lord will contend with those that contend with you. Whoever curses you shall be cursed and whoever blesses you shall be blessed. Indeed Mercy is Blessed. Shine on my Queen! I LOVE YOU! “
