I'll tell you that

"Someday he'll be a powerful man, I'll tell you that"

Does the term mean that you're just giving your opinion or you guarantee that it will happen?

Thank you

Clive gave you the right answer already. Another similar phrase is, "mark my words." This one would carry a greater implication that the speaker believes it will happen, but the point in both is that you are emphatic about your opinion or the importance of what you are saying.
