Neema by Minister Winnie M and Rehema Simfukwe boldly testifies of the grace of God evident in the believer’s life, seen through divine blessings, salvation and freedom. Of our own strength, wisdom and ability, only futility abounds, but by God’s grace, we receive and achieve that which was humanly impossible.
Standing boldly in the riches of grace through Christ, we move boldly to advance the causes of the Kingdom, like Nehemiah, who despite mounting opposition steered Israel into rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. This is the bold stance of confidence we find while living in total dependence on the grace of God.
The song Neema is the first collab between Tanzania’s Rehema Simfukwe and Kenya’s Minister Winnie Moraa. Here’s what Minister Moraa commented about the song:
When Nehemiah was ridiculed, threatened, and opposed…he didn’t stop. With a tool in one hand and a sword in the other, he kept building. He was fueled by grace – Neema – not applause. He built through the noise, through the fear, through the fire. This song is for the builders. The builders. The ones who keep going when the world says “stop.” It’s a sound of resilience, of divine strength, of grace under pressure.

Song review
Main themes
Neema by by Minister Winnie M and Rehema Simfukwe is built on a distinct themes :
- The Sovereign blessing of God
- God’s grace carries me!
- Strength to building and fight.
The Sovereign blessing of God
The progress seen in life, how marvellous it looks when men ask how? Who helped you?Wanauliza imekuwaje kufika hapa,Eti nimewezaje mbona ni haraka.What a joy then that we express how our master and king, as believers, that it is by God that we have gotten here; all our acknowledgment is on Him. This section reflects the truth that God’s favor is not earned through human negotiation or approval. People may question how you got to a certain place, or assume it happened too quickly, it’s not humanly possible, but God’s blessing operates on His timing and purpose, not on what others think or say. When God decides to lift, promote, or favor someone, it is definitive and unstoppable.
His blessings are deliberate, intentional, and cannot be contested by human opinion. It reminds the believer to trust in God’s plan, rejoice in His favor, and not be shaken by the questions or skepticism of others.
Not by our strength or might, Family or people in high places, nor by wisdom or knowledge, but by His Spirit!
Psalms 115:3(KJV)
[3] But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Proverbs 3:5(KJV)
[5]Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Zechariah 4:6(KJV)
[6]Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
God’s grace carries me!
The artists then proclaim that all they see is by “Neema,” emphasizing that God’s grace (neema) is sufficient to sustain and lift a believer above any human limitation. It speaks to the truth that human strength, wisdom, or relationships cannot ultimately secure our progress or protection. Instead, it is God’s favor, His power, and His guidance that carry us through every situation. This lyric paints a picture of total reliance on God: even when human resources fail or advice and support are lacking, His grace bears the weight. It’s a reminder that no person — not friends, relatives, or even mentors — can replace the sustaining hand of God. The repetition of “Neema imenibeba” reinforces the constant and faithful nature of His grace, giving confidence, security, and peace in the believer’s journey.
As believers, we are reminded that it is by the grace of God that we can always stand, win, and be freed.
What a Joy It is by GRACE!!
Ephesians 2:8-9(KJV)
[8]For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9]Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2Corinthians 12:9(KJV)
[9]And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Strength to building and fight.
The line “Silaha kwa mkono huu, tukijenga na mkono huu; tunajenga tukisonga, hatukomi no no” paints the image of a believer empowered by God to build and defend at the same time. It reflects a season where God equips you with both strategy and resilience, one hand carrying the tools to construct your destiny, the other hand carrying the strength to fight through resistance.
It speaks of unstoppable momentum: even when challenges rise, the work does not stop because God has strengthened the hands, fortified the spirit, and released grace (neema) to move forward. It captures the confidence that when God is with you, progress continues, foundations are laid, attacks are resisted, and nothing can halt what He is establishing in your life.
Nehemiah 4:17(KJV)
[17]They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
1 Corinthians 3:9(KJV)
[9] For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
Audience
Neema is for believers seeking encouragement and reassurance in God’s grace. It resonates with believer’s who want to be reminded that God sustains, lifts, and carries them.
