 So on Wednesday, you know, we like to celebrate our queens, our moms, our sisters, queens in general. So on Queens Wednesday today, our first segment is going to be on strength of a woman. But before I introduce her, remember, we are always on social media at Y254, channel on Twitter, Y54 underscore, channel on Instagram and Y254 on Facebook. So let's come with us and let's get to interact. My name is Barry Moses or it's by more on every social media platform. So my strength of a woman of the day is a family woman. She runs a business as well. And she's in the gospel music industry. She's ministering through music. She goes by the name of Francesca Karebusana. Alright, Francesca. Your camera is number four. I'd like you to introduce yourself, all the titles that you have. My name is Francesca Jau. I'm born again and I love Christ. I'm a gospel minister. I do ministry through music. God bless you. Alright, Karebusana Francesca, you have a brand new song. It's like two months old. The name of the song is Wabudiwe. We are going to be touching on that song. But I'd like to get to know how did this journey of ministering through music start? How and when? It began way back like 15 years ago. So it's been a journey and a tough journey, a challenging journey. But the grace of God has been so sufficient. So I bless the Lord for that. Alright, so when you say a tough journey, a challenging one, I'd like to get some detail at least. It's a challenging journey, walking in the footsteps of Jesus or trying to minister. Why challenging? It's because as we minister, even as we do gospel, we don't do gospel for ourselves. We do it to reach out to people. And there are so many ways of now reaching out to people. Like when we do music, we decide to see that music like prayed on our medias. And pushing yourself to that is not always very easy. So you can see that music. Nailali to Mahali, you get. So that is one of the challenges. Alright, but we are blessed to have other media platforms right now where you can reach the people. I've seen you doing well on YouTube. So how has the internet also helped in ministry? So as you grow, you also get to learn about that. You know that there are other platforms and other channels that you can use to push your music and to reach out to people. And right now I can say that it's been good. It's been good so far. Yeah, it's been good so far. We are like seven months deep into this pandemic situation, the corona situation. Can you remember what you were doing when the president first announced that we are going to be having a lockdown in the country and a curfew so that we try to mitigate this situation? Can you remember what you were doing? I was in business. I do business. So I was busy. And I remember that was the very time I had recorded the music. I had just recorded the music and then pushed the music to do one, two, three, four and then boom, the thing happened. Alright, so how did you manage to stay afloat? How did you manage to stay afloat so far? I fangled because one, I'm born again. Faith has brought me this far because that is where I draw my strength because I know no matter the situations, we serve a God who never fails and who changes not. He's not changed by situations and circumstances. He remains. So when you are in him, you have no choice. But you remain up there because he's up there. So for me it has really strengthened me. A powerful message, right? Yes, we are Francesca in the studio for Strength of a Woman. She's a gospel artist and she's in business as well. So if you'd like to ask any questions, remember me on social media. They're always right there below the screen. Let's get to the song Wabudiwe. Tell me about this track. Let's start with the title of me. The title of the song is Wabudiwe. Alright, what inspired this song or the title or the whole concept? To me this song is a testimony. I think I'm saying this everywhere because last year I was sick. I had an attack. I couldn't walk for some months. And so when I was there waiting upon the Lord, you know, praying, you know, searching God, that's how I got this song. And how did I get this song? The Lord kept on ministering to me through the book of Job. We all know what Job went through. But God kept on telling me if God created us for things, then he would not have around the enemy to attack Job. But because the essence of God creating us was to worship him and for worship, you know, that's why even after Job went through what he went through and at one point the wife was telling Job, you know, can't you cast this God in? Just die. But you see, Job knew that his purpose was to build things. And so he maintained that heart of worship. And faith. Yes, and faith. And through that God began, you know, putting words in my spirit. And that is how I composed this song. So this is the book that took you through this trying moment right now. Yes, I got three songs and that was one of the songs. That was one of the songs. All right. Maybe a particular verse in the book of Job. The whole chapter. The whole chapter. Fast Job. Fast Job. I mean Job first. You know, that's when Job went through a lot, a lot, a lot. Yes. And it is the same chapter that he was saying that, you know, naked I came and naked I will go. No, you get that. All right. You know, you're going through issues. But you understand even when all these things are removed, I still can remain focused. All right. You get. I get you. Yes. Thank you very much for that powerful message, Gretha. You have a family as well. Yes. How is it balancing all these things from family to music to business? I really thank God because God has given me a very supportive family. So they have embraced what I'm doing. And you see, once you embrace something that another is doing, it becomes easier to even support. So they have given me my space to do ministry. And they have given me a hundred percent support, which is becoming very easy. All right. Yeah. So the president has opened up some of the places. He has increased the time that we can stay out. Are we looking to see you performing anywhere anytime soon? Or we just come to your resident church and we might get something. No. I'm trusting God. You're trusting. From any open doors. Very open. Yes, because, you know, we've not been called and remitted to the four walls of the church. We've been called to reach out. And when we are called to reach out, it means we need to go out there and get these people. Right. And we need to go to them. So that is the plan. Going out there and ministering to the people. Wabudiwe is out now. It's on YouTube. We are going to be playing it. Hey, if you happen to love it, just remember to keep requesting it so we can have it on rotation. Wabudiwe by Francisca.
