Ani D’Blessed has dropped a musical Plate of Rice which can be described as a playful song that carries a serious message; one of hope and of encouragement for the times we are currently in.
According to Ani D’Blessed; as individuals and especially as Christians around the world at a time like this when uncertainty surrounds us, the devil will want to try to steal our joy but we must put our trust in Jesus – our help in ages past and our hope for years to come. He is the author and finisher of our faith and will never leave the righteous forsaken.
This should be our confidence, even as we reposition ourselves to be able to fit into and provide value in the new world we will all be a part of after this pandemic is over.
