Like unto Abraham, the Lord said unto Anthony Chance Sr. “Leave your own country behind you, and your own people and go to a land I will guide you to. I will cause you to become the Father of a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great, and you will be a blessing to many others. I will bless those that bless you and curse those who curse you. And the entire world will be blessed because of you.” (Genesis 12:1-3)
