Jean Christian Irimbere – Birakumvira | Gospel Audio

“Birakumvira” is a word from the Kinyarwanda language spoken in 

Rwanda and parts of Uganda and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Meaning:

“Bira” = they / things

“Kumvira” = to obey / to listen / to submit

So “Birakumvira” literally means:

“They will obey you” or “Everything will listen to you.”

In a gospel song, Birakumvira expresses the authority and power given by God. It proclaims that when God speaks or when believers stand in faith:

• Nature obeys God
• Problems and obstacles must obey
• Sickness and evil spirits must submit
• Situations change because they obey God’s command

It reflects biblical ideas such as:

Mark 4:39 – even the wind and waves obey Jesus.

Luke 10:19 – authority over the power of the enemy.

Spiritual Message

In worship, singing “Birakumvira” declares that:

• God’s voice has ultimate authority.
• When God commands, everything must obey.
• Believers trust that their circumstances will submit to God’s power.

 In Simple English sense:

“Everything will obey God.”

or

“All things must submit to His authority.”
