 We got Y254, we are on Twitter at Y254 channel and on Instagram at Y254 underscore channel on TikTok at Y254 channel. My personal is that it's burying more. It's social Friday on why in the morning we're doing everything social and now it's time to socialize or interact with our guest of the day. She's a gospel artist. She goes by the name Grace Hosea Karibusan. Thank you, Mary. Alright, I've been looking forward to this. I read your bio and then we had a conversation in the morning with VDJ Khalifa about the gospel industry. So I said, oh Grace Hosea is coming. I think I can ask her some questions. So I'm looking forward to that. Before we get to the talking, let me just sample some few comments you're going to help me on Facebook. Our question on Facebook today is simple. Well, would you like to travel to now that the lockdown has been lifted? Your response can be wishful thinking or it can be an actual plan. So just tell us so we can share it with the rest of the world. The first person is Fred Mosh, social Friday. Fred tuned in from Nax. Ninge penda kutembea shimolatiawa lafu DJ nichazem penzim taza maji. Ya uchungluh familiar. Alright, that one I think we sample that one before. Saperiboy, if I remember Saperiboy before, Bennett Kadambi has just commented her. Jones Maina would like to revisit Mombasa. I think these are some kobistul kwa chapitia as they look for the brand new ones. Keep them coming on our Facebook at Y254 for now. It's back to you Mrs. Grace Hosea. Your camera is number four. Waswana Kona for the first time. Introduce yourself. You have been given a chance. Thank you so much Mary. It's such a pleasure to be here at Y254. It's a pleasure as well. Ya, it's anona. My name is Grace Hosea. I'm born again. I love the Lord. I'm so excited to be here this morning. I'm married. A mother of two boys. I'm married to a pastor. A mother of two boys. Pafikten Yan Hosea. So, ya, it's really a pleasure to be here. Waibu again. Pafikten Yan. I know what perfect means. What does Yan mean? Because I feel like there's depth to these names. Yan, John Mark. Yan? John Mark. Alright. Yes. John Mark. Alright, I like that one. So, how is it being a mom doing your masters? We grew up in South Nyanza, somewhere in South Nyanza. Sure. How was it growing up in a setup like that? A girl back in the day with big dreams like the ones you're achieving right now? I must say first thing, thanks to God who allowed me to come and see the dreams come to pass. When I was growing, I didn't know actually they'll come to pass. But you had them? Yes, but I had them. You manifested them. I manifested them because I remember I started singing when I was still in Sunday school. Though I didn't know one day I'll sing and even do a song as a pastor's kid and both of my parents are pastors. Oh, so it runs in no family. Alright. Yes, so I started singing even without even knowing who God is. But I thank God because when you are in line with God's purpose, the things that God had planned to see in your life will come to be accomplished. Alright. Because even when you're young, like in Nadevi, but when God had called them, the time had just not come. So it takes you through that stages of preparation just to make you ready. Just to make you ready right there. Alright, I had something that really got my attention. This person was saying, I won't mention the name, but this person was saying if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. Because he has a bigger plan for you, somewhere there, but you can't even conceptualize in your head. Did you have some plans that you knew one day I'm going to be this, but God just showed you another way in the long run? Yeah, for sure. I personally didn't know. I would have ended up serving the Lord, for example. When I was coming up, I knew probably I'd just been the health profession, and do other things. But you see the plans of God just as you say, they are so much big beyond our comprehension. So today you might see yourself very small, you don't see anything good. But the plans that God has for you, you just better go to God, because we will tell you, they are big things. Alright. So you go to God every single day, I guess. Yes. You pray, I don't know if it's in the morning or in the evening, but every day you go to God. What is the power going to God every day for this guidance, this reminder? You know, Barry, if you make a pen, you know how that pen should work. You know the amount of ink it will contain. Yes, I know the capacity. When God created us, it is God who knows exact purpose. What grace should be doing today, what I'll be doing tomorrow, you know how my life is going to be. So for me to live in a perfect life, I have to go to the author who made me, who knew grace I made, grace operates in these ways. So many times we just miss it because we've left God aside and we want to do things. So at times life is so tough, yet he's just waiting for us to turn to him and he'll help you give your walking hand. So it's very important to always remember. It's very important to go before God because he's the one who directs it. I always remember but sometimes I forget. Is it something that you struggle with as well? Yes, I have struggled, especially prayers. It was not easy. I didn't like it when I was just starting. I didn't like praying because I used to see people pray sometimes for long and I wonder, when and what are they saying all this time? I can just speak something in a minute and I'm done, you see. But I realize there's a difference. When you go to pray just as a normal churchgoer, it becomes hard. But once you receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and the Lord gives you the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will give you the strength and the desire to always want to pray. That is the difference. Thank you very much. I'd like to go back to your pen analogy. It's you Khalifa Anatumiya in Kidogoza. Kailu Kutunetwe kidogo. Kia gini kidogoza. And you remember, Y254 Facebook, Y254 channel on Twitter and Y254 underscore channel on Instagram. TikTok is Y254 channel. We have Grace Osaia, a minister of the world, an artist and a health practitioner. So many things are happening in the world right now. And the thing we were talking about with Vdija Khalifa, there was a time I used to see secular artists transitioning to gospel. A lot of them. Now it's the opposite. So many gospel artists are transitioning to secular. Is it hard in the industry? Is it hard to make some cash in the gospel industry? What is happening? Why are people transitioning to the other side? People transition because of different challenges. The Bible tells us that we don't judge. So number one, that is the most important. Don't judge. Judgment is for God. Ya, before you start saying, Grace has done this, Grace has done this, it's always good to get to the root cause. What made Grace probably act this way and probably see how do I pray for this person. Because it is not the will of God for us to live serving Him. That is not the will of God at all. But situations can be tough. I can't say it is smooth. It is tough, bari. I know, the work is tough. But one thing that keeps encouraging me always is that our God takes you through stages to prepare you. Bari, if you just came one day and just wake up and just find that you're a billionaire, you might not even know how to handle yourself. You'll be looking at people like trash. But when you've gone through the hard steps, you now know how it was hard to get that money. There's some level of respect and humility that you will have. So the process is very important. The process is tough but it is very important. All right. So people are just going through their walks of life as we see them on YouTube, as we try to judge them. They are just in their walks of life and their journey is unique in its own way. It's unique in its own way. So our duty is basically to pray for them. Because if I see someone who is ministering about the Lord, my role is to actually pray for them to stand. Because it's a tough journey. It's a tough journey. Probably if you were there, we could have done something worse than what they did. So it's a very tough journey. And what can also maintain us to help us remain where we are is always being in the presence of God. Because sometimes also we get to be too busy until we leave that God. When you leave that God, it's not easy to go through a temptation. When it will come, it's like the high chance that you will fall. Because it is God who maintains you. It's not your own strength. Or what you do. Wao, powerful words on a Friday morning right there. Grace Hosa is in the building on Y254 on Y in the morning. Be sure to interact with us on our Facebook as I told you on Y254. Twitter on Y254 channel. Instagram on Y254. Underscore channel. Alright, so your new song. Part of it is shot in South Africa. Part is shot in Nigeria. Big things are happening. Why? Why did you... Why do you invest so much in this like this? So, Bari is on something that happened in Nigeria. I started singing some... My first recording I did in 2009. And do you know I walked to the studio. I didn't have even lunch. During the time I was going to do that, I mean my first audio. So it was very tough. I just called a few friends. This was around the same time you graduated? Yes. Alright. So, did you have a job then? No, I didn't have a job. Alright. So, graduates, Imziki. What's your name? I'm Imziki. Let me solve the log with my music. As I see what's next for me. Alright, so you go to the studio. You recorded your first song in 2009. Yes. What was the name of the song? My sayangu the album was called My Sayangu. A whole album? Yes. Yes, a very powerful album. Alright. Is it on streaming sites? No, it's not on YouTube. Alright, just tell them your YouTube channel so they can stalk you as we... Yeah, my YouTube channel is Grace Hosea. Just go to Grace Hosea. You'll get my songs there. You can also get me in Facebook Grace Hosea. Instagram Grace Hosea. At Twitter. Is it Twitter? It's Twitter. Yes, exactly. At GeoZero 5. GeoZero 5. Yes. Alright. We're just looking at some of the clips in the video. This is a video. Yes. Right there. This is Wabaraka. Alright, so these parts are shot in? So this part was in Nigeria. Yes. Who's the director? Hosea. He's called Hosea. Alright. Yeah. Very good work right there, Mr. Hosea. Yeah. And then some parts in South Africa. Yeah. Which director from South Africa? He's the same guy. He's the same guy. Hosea, yeah. Alright. We have both a team in South Africa. The work has a team. Yeah. It's just the same team. Alright. Yeah. They have not set up in Kenya yet? No, no, no. Not yet? Not yet. Alright. Convince them to come around so they make your work easier. Because this is very good work right there. I like the color coordination. I like the direction of the outfits. I love everything about the video. I love the song as well. Be sure to check it out. Grace Hosea on YouTube. Who came up with the concept? Who came up with the scripting? We did it with the producer of course. You did it with the producer? Yes. So this is partly you right there. These visuals that we have seen right? Yes. Alright. I had done the song before. So when I went to South Africa, I redid it. Okay. Yes. You redid the audio and the video. Sure. But then I don't dam the video. So the audio. Oh so you started with the audio. Yes. And then you went to the video. Yes. Alright. What's special about this song? This song is very special. Because when God gave me that, when I was doing the lyrics for this song, God had spoken at that time about how great He is, how mighty He is, how He is a God full of blessings, how He cares for us. So when you listen to this song, you get to understand who God is. You know sometimes you go through things and life is so tough. But we don't know the other side of God that He's also a blesser. You know as much as we might have gone through challenges, He's also a blesser. He will bless you one day. Blesser means a totally different thing. In South Africa, I'm too. Okay. Alright. Yes, I don't know. I don't know. He's a healer in your situation. He's a healer in Ponyaji. If you are in need, His name is Jehovah Jairah. He will provide at that particular time. So this song is so rich because it talks about the attributes of God. Who our God is. It talks about the attributes of God. Is that somewhere in Cape Town? Sorry, yes. That is in Cape Town. Alright. That place. Yeah, this is in Cape Town. Alright. I only see it on Instagram. I've never seen that. I just see it on Instagram. I know those colors right there. But thank you very much for this blessing song right there. What should we look out for from grace or ser and family? Because now I know it's a family business. We run a ministry in town. Our church is just next to railway offices. Just next to local health center. Just at the at the end of that bridge, our church is there. It's called Fruitful Center. Parakalmunatuk. Ehh. Apu yo barabaratu. Una pandayo bridge. Denchini. Our church is there. So the other side, you are Landi Maui. Landi Maui, exactly. Okay. So kivoka tu bridge. Apu kwa bridge tu musho tu apu. Churchiko apu. Okay. Next one. Alright. So you run your ministry there. Yes. I hear this Sunday 100 people maximum. Yeah. Yeah. We have to obey you. You have to obey. Yes. So what are you going to do? You are going to sell what you are going to in Takuja next Sunday or how are you guys going to do? No. We will look for wisdom that comes from above. Of course, you can think of also having services in shifts. You need to aid them. Yeah. All those are options. As long as the message gets home. The message gets home and the most important thing that we maintain the social distancing, you know, and just make sure we sanitize and do the right thing. Follow the regulations. Yeah. That was a slight deviation. Take me back to what we should expect from Grace Ozair and Pap. Okay. What I want to say, Barry, is that God is still at work and there are things probably God has not told me. But there are things, there are projects that are already on the way so when, as soon as they are ready, we will bring them out. But there is a lot that already God has put in store for us. So keep waiting. Yes. Well, keep waiting for sure. Remind them about your social media handles and how they can get to watch this basic video as we proceed. Thank you. So please go, follow me on YouTube. Like, share, subscribe, request for my songs even at Y254. You'll get me as Grace Ozair at YouTube. Instagram also Grace Ozair, you can follow me. Then at Tira, you can also follow me at GeoSair 5. GeoSair 5. Yes, GeoSair 5. All right. At this last segment of the show before you introduce your song, I like to put people on the spot a little bit. Are you going to forgive me? I know you're a forgiving person. But forgive me. I'll put you on the spot a little bit. As a health practitioner, you're taking your masters in public health there. We've seen what this quarantine thing has done. We have high school kids pregnant right now in numbers, in big numbers. This is a crisis. Other people are saying this is the real pandemic. The other one was just Eco-pandemic. In your pandemic kabisa. What do you have to say about it as a health practitioner and as a lady? To me, it is a sad thing. It is really a sad thing for me to see Aminyang girls go through that process. Children have children? Yes. There are children who are also parents at the same time but they are actually young. It's quite a sad thing. And as you're saying it's a pandemic in itself. So I'd just like to encourage us if we have any girl around us. Kitambo A child used to belong to the community. Yes, for sure. It's not like nowadays when your child does something wrong and you can't but I would love to see as Kenyans arise to these things as a team. Let the church take its parts. Let the parents take their role. Our teachers and even the health professionals so that we're able to come together and just nurture these young ones. Our young girls are already pregnant. It is not the time to point stones at them. Bring them close. It's the time just to tell them now this is happening. So what is the way forward? And we don't just assume the men also took part in this. They also need to get those sessions. We need to understand what made you do this. How did they get it? How did you get it to this point? Because it's really embarrassing. And to make it worse most of them are not just strangers. Some are even fathers and even brothers and sisters from one family. So it's really disheartening. But the biggest thing that can work this out is when the society turns and looked at Jesus Christ as the only source for change in a society. When you have God you have love. I mean you can't come and rape me if you have God and you have genuine love. You will take care of me. So the source is if our society can turn back to Christ that can also be a very big source of solutions to this generation. Christ is the answer. Christ is the answer. As you say. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you very much for taking your time to hang out with us. Introduce your song and please tell them to keep requesting it so we can have it on rotation. So my new song from the kitchen is called Guvuyango by Grace Osir. It's a powerful song and I thank God it's coming at a time when the society, I mean the world around is just full of discouragement but we can get that strength from the Lord. You can get that salvation from the Lord. So I want to encourage you to request the song get to listen to it as the Lord ministers to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Thank you very much. You had it straight from the horses mouth and right about now we are about to play the song so if you happen to love it keep requesting it. VDJ Khalifa has it.
