I want to know the answer to the following question:
Why did God want to act through Afonso?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Ecstatic, Afonso heard Jesus promising victories for the coming battles, as well as God's wish to act through Afonso, and his descendants, in order to create an empire which would carry His name to unknown lands, thus choosing the Portuguese to perform great tasks.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
