Dr. Sarah K is known for some of the most iconic praise anthems in Kenya, and now adding onto that list is the song Bwana Ananipigania.

Her new song “Bwana Ananipigania” exemplifies a Christian’s response when they are smuck in the heat of the battlefront. What does one do – wallow in fear and anxiety, complain with bitterness, or rather submit to the authority of God, to whom all battles belong?

Song review
Scripture backing
Bwana Ananipigania by Dr. Sarah K draws inspiration from Exodus 14:14:
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Exodus 14:14 KJV
Exodus 14 recounts the crossing of the Red Sea. Israel is trapped between sea waters and a vast wilderness. Capture looms as Pharaoh and troops advance in their chariots. Fear gripples Israel, and they grumble. But Moses encourages Israel – the Lord shall fight for you.
When tensions run high, it is humanly tempting to dwell on the magnitude of the incumbent troubles, battles or circumstances, rather than look unto God’s ever present help.
The Christian faith demands absolute trust and surrender to God in all circumstances, the lack of which often breeds fear and mumble.
Bwana Ananipigania is a solemn statement of the faith that God is in battle for our sake. We need not dwell in fear, but be at peace. Here goes the chorus:
Bwana ananipigania
Bwana ananipigania
Sitaogopa, nitatulia
Bwana ananipigania
- Chorus for the song Bwana Ananipigania by Dr. Sarah K
To further opine
However, it must be reckoned that battles are a necessity of Christian life, key to building faith. God fighting our battles is no guarantee of stay against troubles. Christ assures that troubles will come, but his followers should be of good cheer, since He has overcome.
Bwana Ananipigania should be a reminder to put faith in God, and even if battles do not end as we expect, still glorify Him.
