From Abuse to Anointing: Jabalile J's Journey of Faith, Forgiveness & Miracles

Loading player...
Join JustGospel for a powerful conversation with Jabalile J, a worship leader from Kwanonia Bible Church whose testimony demonstrates God's miraculous grace through unimaginable trials.
Serving in worship ministry since age 12, Jabalile's faith was tested through a decade-long abusive marriage that began at 19. The physical abuse led to strokes and pregnancy complications that resulted in her son being born with cerebral palsy due to oxygen deprivation during birth. Through five surgeries and unwavering faith, her son Musamukwena Re Abetswe (meaning "we've been granted grace") not only learned to walk but now thrives as an 18-year-old matriculant, rugby player, and youth leader.
Key Discussion Points:

Growing up in the Vaal Triangle and being discovered as a worship talent at 12
Working at International AIDS Vaccine Initiative while pursuing her music calling
The devastating impact of domestic abuse on her health and unborn child
Her son's miraculous journey from cerebral palsy to becoming a confident young leader
The difficult but transformative journey of forgiving her abuser
How she eventually called her ex-husband to offer and seek mutual forgiveness
Writing songs about abuse, hope, and God's faithfulness during her darkest moments
Her 2019 album release and how COVID changed her ministry approach
The divine inspiration behind her song "Miracle Worker"

Powerful Message:
Jabalile emphasizes that forgiveness is a journey, not an overnight process, moving from praying reluctantly for her abuser to genuinely interceding for his blessing—the true mark of complete forgiveness.
"I learned that this is the journey I had to go through. If it wasn't me, then who else? Today I'm able to write songs that give other women strength and hope." - Jabalile J
This episode is essential listening for anyone facing abuse, seeking healing, or needing hope that God can redeem the most broken situations.
