"God has been using Joe to help others. As he has made an indelible mark on the sands of time, God will write his name eternally in the book of life. God will know how to bless him in 2024 for the good works he is doing".


The cleric noted that appreciation is an application for multiplication of God's gift, explaining that most people found it difficult to thank God, saying that in all condition, we should always thank God.
