Unção Divina
Mara Lima
The Power of Divine Anointing in Song
The song "Unção Divina" by Mara Lima is a powerful expression of faith and the belief in the transformative and empowering nature of God's anointing. The lyrics describe how divine anointing ("unção") can turn the weak into the strong and make the impossible possible. It speaks to the idea that with God's blessing, ordinary objects can become instruments of miracles, as exemplified by biblical references such as the jawbone that killed a thousand men or the trumpet that brought down the walls of Jericho.
Mara Lima, a Brazilian gospel singer known for her emotive voice and spiritual lyrics, uses the song to convey the message that God's anointing provides believers with the power to overcome any obstacle. The repeated lines "É na unção, é na unção, que se encontra poder" ("It is in the anointing, it is in the anointing, that power is found") emphasize the importance of divine anointing in achieving victory over life's battles. The song encourages listeners to have faith and to sing and speak with conviction, as God will work miracles through them.
The song also touches on themes of liberation and divine intervention. It suggests that even when one is physically or metaphorically imprisoned, the act of worship through song can prompt God to send an angel to break the chains that bind. The overall message is one of hope, strength, and the assurance that with God's anointing, believers are invincible and can face any adversity with confidence.
