“Eze Abata (Obata Obie okwu m) by Chinyere Udoma

The refrain “Obata Obie okwu m (When God arrives, My Prayer are answered)” resonates with Jeremiah 33:3, where God invites us to “Call to me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3). Similarly, “Obata Obu o agha (When God arrives, He fights My battle)” echoes Exodus 14:14: “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm” (Exodus 14:14). In a daily devotional context, reflecting on these truths through song reminds believers that prayer is not merely routine words but an invitation to God’s active involvement. By singing “Obata Obu o agha,” worshippers are encouraged to surrender anxieties and trust that God’s sovereignty assures victory, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. Another powerful dimension of “Eze Abata” is its affirmation that God brings life and miracles. The lyric “Obatara be nwanyi aga anu akwa Nwa (He that enters a barren woman’s home and a cry of a baby is heard)” finds its biblical counterpart in 1 Samuel 1:27: “For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me what I asked” (1 Samuel 1:27). Moreover, the declaration “When You call on God of miracles, Miracle begins to happen” aligns with Luke 1:37: “For nothing is impossible with God” (Luke 1:37). Meditating on such lyrics during devotion encourages believers to remember that God specializes in reversing human impossibilities. When one reflects on the true-to-life testimony of Hannah or Mary’s miraculous conception, the song’s words reinforce that no situation is beyond divine intervention, instilling enduring hope.

Beyond individual miracles, “Eze Abata” emphasises God’s role in restoring peace, relationships, and health. The line “Obata ebe enwere nsogbu – Ezigbo udo ga adigodi (When He enters a troubled place, great peace will reign)” reminds us of Jesus’ promise: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). Likewise, “Obata ezinulo – Nwanne mara Nwanne ya (When He enters a house sibling will know sibling)” mirrors the harmony described in Psalm 133:1: “How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!” (Psalm 133:1). In a cultural context where family bonds are highly valued, such lyrics reinforce the biblical call to unity. When integrated into daily worship, these declarations encourage believers to seek God’s presence in strained relationships and trust that He can heal divisions, fostering faithfulness and communal spiritual growth. The concluding thought of “Eze Abata” celebrates God’s power to heal: “Ozute Onye oria – Oria ahu alaa kpamkpam haii (when He encounters a sick person – that sickness will leave permanently).” Scripture affirms this promise: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” (Psalm 147:3). Additionally, James 5:15 underscores the power of prayer: “And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up” (James 5:15). Incorporating these lyrics into daily devotion helps believers to cling to God’s compassion and redemptive power in seasons of illness. By reminding worshippers that genuine healing comes from God, the song nurtures faithfulness and encourages persistent reliance on Him, rather than solely on human solutions.
