Akulamulira (He’s Reigning) Lyrics

El Shaddai is a Hebrew name that means God the Almighty

The power of Satan, demons, witches

Witchdoctors, or kings of the earth, is so insignificant

Compared to the omnipotent power of God, the Creator

The maker of everything

Including Satan, human beings, and angels

We confess with our mouths that God is all-powerful

But often our lives point to the contrary

For instance, between a child of God

And a Satan worshiper or a witch

Who should be terrified of the other

Between the temple of the Holy Spirit

The person who's not been given the spirit of fear

But God's spirit

And a sorcerer

Who should tremble at the other

Between one inhabited by the Greater One, Adonai

And Satan

Who should be scared of the other

One of Satan's instruments is fear

However, Hebrews 2:14-15 says

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood

He also (Christ) likewise partook of the same things

That through death he might destroy the one

Who has the power of death. That is, the devil

And deliver all those who through fear of death

Were subject to lifelong slavery

Hence, child of God, don't be afraid

Everything, sorcery, witchcraft, all flaming darts of the evil one

Everything is under the authority of our Father

He's in control over both the good and the bad

Ruling even over the works of Satan

It's hard for our human minds to comprehend exhaustively

That God rules over good and bad things

No wonder some false teachers, messengers of Satan

Refuse to accept this truth

And in so doing, they undermine God's power

That reigns over everything

Nevertheless, Scripture affirms that God's in charge

He's in control even over the works of Satan

God is reigning over everything

It's the Lord who permitted Satan

To strike Job in Job chapters 1 and 2

It's God who determined the extent

That Satan would go in harming Job

Luke 22:3 says that Satan entered Judas

And he betrayed Jesus

However, according to Acts 2:23

Jesus was delivered up and crucified

Killed by the hands of lawless men

According to the definite plan

And foreknowledge of God

Judas willingly chose to betray Jesus

On the other hand, satan entered him

Evil spirits influenced him

But ultimately, Christ died

According to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God

To save his people from their sins

Thus, we may rightly conclude

That God sometimes uses sinners

To accomplish his plans

The sinner chooses willingly to act wickedly

Satan or evil spirits influence the wicked choice

But ultimately, the will of Yahweh prevails

Everything is under the control of Adonai

He is reigning over everything
