I Cover You

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14).

My waters cover the earth, and majestic mountains rise up out of the sea, declaring My strength, My glory. The skies and heavens are spread out like a canopy over the earth, and so I cover you this day, this moment. The winds move at My command. The rivers and seas are held within their banks at My word. All things are held together within bounds by My power. I am the beginning and the end of all things (Revelation 21:6). Nothing is hidden from Me, and all is held in the palm of My hand (Hebrews 4:13). Every molecule has My attention. How much more, then, do you have My heart and affectionate attention? All the beauty surrounding you was made as a gift, a habitation in which to dwell and experience My splendid love for you.

In light of this, the circumstances you are experiencing are but drops in the sea of My capabilities. I am a mountain of strength in your day of trouble, in the midst of your sea. Minor setbacks do not dismay Me in any way, even though they seem larger than life to you. They are wonderful tools in My hand to teach you, if you will let Me. I use them as opportunities to instruct, removing the enemies plan to discourage you from the way I have chosen for you to walk. At the same time, you experience My grace and mercy, thereby seeing My salvation in your circumstances; a two-fold purpose is being accomplished. You are put on the right path, and our relationship grows deeper as you see Me moving on your behalf. It deepens the knowledge of My love for you in your own heart.

Don’t be dismayed at any minor setback. I will use them for your advantage. Turning things for the good is what I do. I use it to clear your path of all obstacles and distractions. In the process, your confidence will grow as you discover you can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13). We make a good team, you and I.

You have grown, you know. If this had happened even months ago, your dismay would have been great. Circumstances and situations have taught you well under the guidance and protection of My hand. I am so proud of you.

Look up, and see the heavens. Look around, and absorb the beauty surrounding your life. They are My declaration of love and capability for you. As the waters cover the earth My child so I cover you.

Prayer
My heart sings at Your words. I thank You for working in this circumstance and for the valuable lessons I have learned. As I look up at the heavens, I can sense Your smile over my life. All that the enemy meant for discouragement, You have turned into encouragement. Where I have thought evil in this circumstance, I ask for forgiveness, and I choose to speak blessing. Thank you for drawing me closer to Your heart of love. I receive mercy and grace in my time of need. You are faithful, loving, and true. I anticipate the abundant harvest arising out of my obedience to Your instructions. I rest under Your covering of intimate affection, receiving, and giving love. I love you. Amen.

Reflect and Journal

Since God is big enough to cover the whole earth and in fact the universe, how does this put your life’s issues in perspective?
How does it make you feel to know He covers you?
Give Him all the things that have been of concern to you.
Ponder the above truths and journal His deep affections for you

( L – R ) Bounty Killer, Mr Lexx – File

Dancehall artistes Mr Lexx and Bounty Killer were the centre of attention recently following their face-off on popular social networking website Twitter.

The two posted messages directed at each other with Mr Lexx claiming that Bounty Killer and Elephant Man are “poisoning the music” and that Killer is making efforts to minimise the playing of his music by disc jockeys. Some of the tweets by Mr Lexx included:

“As long as Bounty Killer an Elephant ina music it ago currupt cah a dem a di poison ina it #yeaisaidit”

“… Dem a tell di dj don”t play mi song dem … Nuh tink dem nah tell me back …”

“How u fi a tell di disc jockey weh fi play??? at least a sum idiat dj unuh cyah govern”

“Mi a do mi ting an nah watch nuh man an dem still a try tampa wid man tings … unuh tink a unuh alone ppl like?”

“U know how much time me get juggling wid both a dem song an mi neva tell a disc jock or selector say don”t play dem … Nope not never”

As for Bounty Killer, some of his tweets read:

“Somebody tell (Lexx) fi tek him tongue go sing song bout me n Ele tell ppl nuh play him song which song him have?”

“… Lex kno yu self mi bury yu career yu waah mi bury yu tongue now that”s all left out of yu career …”

personal battle

When THE WEEKENDSTAR spoke to Mr Lexx about the allegations against Killer, he said that the song that Killer was trying to stop is Clean on TJ Record”s Star A Star rhythm.

Lexx said, “Mi nah fight a personal battle, mi a fight a battle for a lot of artistes who not speaking out because they are afraid to do so. There are some people who have been in the business for a long time and now they refuse to believe and realise that it is not them but the young artistes who are running the place.”

He continued, “Who is them to decide who is hot and who is not? Some a dem a old man, dem fi guh rest inna old age home! Di ting change up now suh how dem still inna kas-kas wid di young artiste dem? He came at me when I was young and naive in the business, when mi jus a buss. Well now when him old and weak I”m coming for him. Karma is a hell of a thing. Isn”t it? Dem fi know seh anuh dem alone di people like. When dem do dem evil tings people ago tell mi back,” said Lexx.

When contacted, however, Bounty Killer said he was not interested in commenting much on the issue, as he saw it as “Lexxus jus a try mek somebody see him”.

“Di bwoy guh pon Twitter a seh Killer an Ele a tell selector nuh fi play him song an mi jus blast two time line and people been retweeting it. But dat wah him (Mr Lexx) a sey is ridiculous cause a which song him have? Him nuh have no hit song ya now an he’s not ma worse enemy,” said Bounty Killer.

Yendi Phillipps – File

After being hit by two rumours in one week, former Miss Jamaica World and Miss Universe runner-up 2010, Yendi Phillipps says she is not fazed by them.

Earlier this week, a website claimed that she had a ‘secret affair’ with dancer-dancehall artiste Ding Dong. And if that wasn’t enough, there was another rumour yesterday that she was in a major accident.

random rumour

“There’s nothing really to talk about, it’s the most up in the air random rumour,” Phillipps said of the alleged affair.

She noted that the picture that was being used to confirm the ‘affair’ was one in which she was presenting the artiste with an award at the Youth View Awards in February.

However, she said she was upset about the rumours suggesting that she was in an accident yesterday morning on Hope Road.

“There were a lot of people calling me this morning asking if I am okay. The one today upset me because people were genuinely worried,” she told THE WEEKEND STAR, noting that she had not left her home all day.

Being a public figure, Phillipps explained that people will say many things about her but she is not bothered. Nor does she believe it will affect her career in any way.

‘God is bigger’

“The rumours don’t bother me anymore cause I’ve heard it all now. When you know it’s not true, there is nothing to worry about,” Phillipps said.

“God is bigger than this and whatever is for me will be because of how I live my life. I don’t think it will ever affect my career. Rumours are just simply that. I am not fazed by them,” she said.

Meanwhile, the beauty queen said she is pleased with a number of things that have been taking place in her career. She is now the global ambassador for Air Jamaica, a Digicel brand ambassador and on the advertising campaign for KerryManWomanHome.

Currently, Phillipps says she is writing a book but could not give any details about its content. In the near future, she says she will be doing a series of motivational and grooming workshops. She also has a number of international engagements planned.

‘Rumours are just simply that. I am not fazed by them … ‘
