Latest Gospel Audio | Angela Chibalonza - Ebeneza (Meaning, Lyrics & Bio) | mp3 Download

MEANING 

Ebeneza is a swahili phrase copied from Hebrew name "Ebenezer" meaning "stone of help" (from eben "stone" + ezer "help"), originating from the biblical prophet Samuel setting up a stone to commemorate God's assistance against the Philistines. 

From the Bible (1 Samuel 7:12). The word means “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” In the gospel/worship context, Ebeneza is used as a declaration of gratitude and testimony to God’s faithfulness.

Gospel Meaning & Context

In gospel songs, Ebeneza expresses:

• Thanksgiving for God’s help through past struggles
• Remembrance of how God delivered, protected, and provided
• Testimony that victory and progress come from God alone
• Assurance that the same God who helped before will help again
• The song usually reflects a believer looking back at life’s journey challenges, battles, delays, sickness, or hardships and acknowledging that reaching the present moment is only because of God’s grace.

Biblical Background

After God gave Israel victory over the Philistines, Samuel set up a stone and named it Ebenezer, saying:

“Thus far the Lord has helped us.” (1 Samuel 7:12)

This stone became a memorial of God’s intervention, which is why gospel music uses Ebeneza as a symbol of divine help and faithfulness.

Spiritual Message

• God is the source of every breakthrough
• Believers should remember and honor God’s past works
• Gratitude strengthens faith for the future
• God’s help is continuous, not temporary

Simple Summary

Ebeneza in gospel context means: 

“Lord, we have reached this point because You helped us.”
