In a heartfelt radio interview on Just Gospel, renowned South African gospel artist Lebo Sekgobela opened up about her spiritual journey, musical career, and upcoming projects, revealing the deeply personal story behind her ministry..

A proud mother of three and devoted wife, Sekgobela's journey in music began in her childhood home in Residencia around 1987. Though she always had a talent for singing, it wasn't until she committed her life to Christ that she fully understood her gift's purpose. "The moment I gave my life to Christ, I understood that it was just not a talent, but it was a gift," she explained, emphasizing the importance of nurturing it through prayer, God's word, and fellowship..

Sekgobela's personal testimony includes a powerful story of healing through forgiveness. After experiencing trauma in her youth, she found liberation through understanding the Lord's Prayer, particularly the verse about forgiving others. This experience has deeply influenced her ministry and music, allowing her to speak freely about the transformative power of forgiveness..

As a gospel musician, Sekgobela has built an impressive career through collaborations with prominent artists.  When asked about future dream collaborations, she expressed interest in working with international gospel stars Don Moen and CeCe Winans.

Her hit song "Lion of Judah" has become a cornerstone of South African gospel music, being performed in multiple languages including Setswana and Afrikaans. The song's cross-cultural impact demonstrates her ability to bridge linguistic and cultural divides through worship..

The artist offered insights into her creative process, emphasizing the crucial role of the Holy Spirit in her songwriting. She explained that success in gospel music isn't about personal glory or trying to replicate previous hits, but about being a vessel for God's message. "We need to make sure that it's not all about you. It's not about your voice. It brings glory and exaltation to God most of the time," she shared..

Sekgobela is currently preparing for her "All White Total Praise and Worship" event, scheduled for November 16th at Emerald. The event, which began last year at Carnival City, has grown significantly and features various ministers of music. What started as a personal journey of finding healing through other ministers' songs has evolved into a platform for collective worship and spiritual renewal. During the interview, Sekgobela also revealed plans for new music, including a song in Swahili, showcasing her commitment to reaching diverse audiences with her message of faith. She views her music as part of a larger mandate to spread the gospel, emphasizing that believers should be "hasty about the things of God" and maintain a fierce heart for kingdom work..

The artist's approach to ministry extends beyond music, as she emphasizes the importance of representing the kingdom of God in everyday life. "We might be in this world," she noted, "but we're not of this kingdom. We are of the kingdom of heaven." This philosophy guides both her musical career and personal life, as she continues to focus on spreading the gospel message while maintaining her dedication to authentic worship and spiritual growth.

Through her music and ministry, Sekgobela continues to impact lives, offering hope and healing through praise and worship, while remaining grounded in her primary identity as a child of God.
