Comedian Steve Harvey praised God and thanked his fans after being inducted to the Radio Hall of Fame.

The 59-year-old radio personality posted a video message on Twitter on July 12 to give God the credit and to thank his fans after receiving the award.

"Hey look it just keeps happening, the blessings keep coming. Now I've been inducted into the 2016 class for the Radio Hall of Fame," shared Harvey.

This year's National Radio Hall of Fame inducted Harvey for Active Network/Syndication of more than a decade on "The Steve Harvey Morning Show," syndicated by Premiere Networks. The organization also awarded Active Local/Regional of more than 10 years to Eric & Kathy for "Eric Ferguson and Kathy Hart" on WTMX 101.9 FM The Mix Chicago; Longstanding Local/Regional of more than 20 years to Jeff & Jer "Jeff Detrow and Jerry Cesak" on KyXy 96.5 FM San Diego; Longstanding Network/Syndication of more than 20 years to Delilah, syndicated by Premiere Networks; Music Format On-Air Personality to Bob Kingsley on "Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40," syndicated by Westwood One; and Spoken Word On-Air Personality to Michael Savage on "The Savage Nation," also syndicated by Westwood One.

George G. Beasley of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., the late Kidd Kraddick of Kidd's Kids Charity, Notre Dame Football's sportscaster Tony Roberts and the late Neil Rogers also received the prestigious honors.

"Another honor, I almost don't know what to say," said Harvey. "I'm blessed, my life is covered with grace, I'm grateful but you know I'm none of this without fans."

He also thanked his fans for the love and support that they showered him.

"This is ours, we're going into the Radio Hall of Fame together," he said, then quipped, "But I'm going to keep the award at my house."

The entertainment mogul and best-selling author of "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" also credited God for how he went from being homeless to a millionaire.

"I sat down and started crying, but a voice said, 'If you keep going, I'm going to take you places you've never been,'" he told People in an interview earlier this year. "It was like God said, 'Don't quit, you're almost there.'"
