“AGBARA (POWER)” by JayMikee, featuring Gaise Baba, Daddy Verse, and Joshua Israel, is a contemporary Nigerian gospel anthem that blends Afro-fusion, spoken-word intensity, and worshipful confession. Released as part of the Mount Zion Music collective, the song reflects the group’s signature focus on theological clarity, spiritual warfare, and bold declarations of faith. Its central theme is the supremacy of God’s power, expressed through lyrical affirmations rooted in Scripture and the lived spirituality of Nigerian Pentecostal and evangelical communities. The collaboration brings together diverse musical voices: JayMikee’s cinematic production style, Gaise Baba’s rhythmic Afro-soul delivery, Daddy Verse’s rap-driven proclamations, and Joshua Israel’s worship-infused vocals. Musically, AGBARA (POWER) employs percussive energy, call-and-response structures, and layered harmonies to create a sense of spiritual urgency. The result is a song that functions both as a personal declaration of divine empowerment and a congregational rallying cry. It has resonated widely across digital platforms, especially among young Christians seeking a modern sound that remains deeply rooted in biblical conviction.

In Nigeria, AGBARA (POWER) is widely used in youth-driven worship gatherings, prayer meetings, and campus fellowships because of its energetic call to spiritual boldness. Many churches incorporate it into sessions focused on intercession, deliverance, or declarations of faith, where its lyrical emphasis on divine power aligns with the liturgical mood. It is also popular in personal devotion, especially among young believers who use it as a soundtrack for early-morning prayers or spiritual meditation. On social media, the song frequently appears in reels, testimonies, and evangelistic content, reinforcing its function as both worship expression and public witness.

Lyrics:

Agbara! T’o ju agbara lo (Power! That surpasses every power)
Agbara! (Power!)

Omo, we wrestle so mo (Goodness, we wrestle you know)
Ko ya mo’bi to ma to si o (Therefore, know your place)
Life is a battle, so mo (You know)
Ogun laye ore (Friend–Life is a battle), powers clash
Iseju kan pere, wo yawa gas (Chaos happen in an instant)
Ome ole lo ma fori e f’agbon (Let the foolish fight the hard battles)
I go meet person wey get power pass
Mo sa wonu Jesu, mo ti gbaradi (I run to Jesus to be fortified)
Mo ti gba agbara to gbagbara mi (I’ve gotten a power that swallows power)
Awon ogun orun ready pelu ida lowo (Heavenly hosts are armed and on standby)
Anytime to ba d’ijakadi (When it turns into a battle)

Agbara ti Mose fi p’okun niya (The power Moses used to part the Red Sea)
Sona kale fun woli Elijah (That brought fire for Prophet Elijah)
Ti m nba activate, ko nse sere sere (Once I activate it it is not a game)
To ba ti ri mi, koya (Once You see me, run)
Wo, ma lo speculate (Look, do not speculate)
Esu daddy yin gan (Even with the devil, your father)
T’o ga gb’oruko Jesu, a sa (He will flee at hearing the Name of Jesus)

Refrain:
Agbara! T’o ju agbara lo (Power! That surpasses every power)
Agbara! (Power!)
Ina n’ jo, Ogun esu fe le le (Fire’s burning, the devil’s war is about to be defeated)
Agbara! T’o ju agbara lo (Power! That surpasses every power)
Agbara! (Power!)

Eni ti oju re nko monamona (The One whose eyes blaze with fire)
Iri si Oluwa nba ni leru jojo (The Lord’s presence overwhelms with trembling)
Owo Oluwa nfa igi kedari ya o (God’s mighty hands breaks all barriers)
Oruka Oluwa ile iso agbara (The Name of the Lord is a strong tower)

(Refrain)
I get rod for hand, dem get rod for hand too
I drop rod for ground, dem drop theirs too

Opan wn naa d’ejo (Their rods became snakes too)
Sugbon ejo won d’ounje f’ejo mi (But my snake swallowed theirs)

Taani iwo oke nla? (Who are you, mighty mountain?)
Iwo yoo di petele (You shall become a plain)
Niwaju (Before) Zerubbabel (Repeat)
They can’t step to this

Principalities can’t step to this
Rulers of the darkness, can’t step to this
Even spiritual wickedness, they can’t step to this

(Refrain)
They can’t step to this
Principalities can’t step to this
Rulers of the darkness, can’t step to this
Even spiritual wickedness, they can’t step to this (Repeat)
