Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, husband of popular Nigerian gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo, has showered her with encomiums on the occasion of her 31st birthday.
Sharing pictures of his wife on his Instagram page on Monday, Uzochikwa, who is a pastor at Waterbrook Church, described the singer as his reward from God.
He wrote: “Happy 31st birthday to my queen, @mercychinwo, my reward from God and the physical evidence that I’m blessed! The fulfilment 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 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 will 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 broken hearted. 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!”
