THE MYSTERY OF MY NAME (Personal) [CONCLUSION] By Awotiku Akinlayo David
SESSION 4
Like I said earlier, the
name (Akinlayo) is not for ordinary people, it is for someone who could still
smile while confronted with big challenges, and such person must be a
courageous man. Mind you, being courageous
does not mean to be fearless rather it means boldness to face fear and conquer
it. In confronting challenges, start with a smile, though to be realistic,
smiling does not solve the problem but it gives courage to face the problem and
solve it. The name is for someone who remains brave in spite of tough challenges
and still sees reasons to smile and sees victory ahead which births Joy, such a
person is the one that should rightly say to himself ‘Akin-ni-ayo-mi’ meaning ‘my bravery is my Joy’.
KING;
HOSANNA
Finally! Let me quickly talk briefly about my nickname,
it is not new neither is it different, it also has its own meaning. ‘King’ was
taken from my name ‘King David’. ‘Hosanna’ on the other hand is a Greek word
from the Hebrew word ‘hoshi’a na’,
meaning ‘to save, please’ in the Old Testament
in Psalms 118:25-26. In the New testament, Hosanna means ‘Salvation, thank you’ also it means ‘Praise God’ so ‘Hosanna in
the highest’ can also be like this ‘Praise
God in Heaven’ which implies that God is to be praised for sending His to
give us salvation (Mk.11:9-10)
(Matt.21:9,15).
Addition of these two names together, we have this
conjunction ‘I am a king that praises
and worships the king of kings’ and it gives the name ‘King_Hosanna’. I am
proud of the name because it is spiritually weighty and it means I will always give thanks to God for the
rest of my life and anyone that calls this name will unconsciously acknowledge
God.
There is a saying that ‘your name defines you’ but in my
own case ‘I define my own name’ (Selah!). Here concludes the mystery of my
name. Thanks for your time and patience. Hope you enjoyed it?
VOTES
OF THANKS
But
before I drop my pen, I want to thank everyone towards the celebration of my
previous birthday. I thank God for another year added to my spiritual age on
the 23rd of March and to my real age on the 25th of
March. I thank God for the wonderful spiritual birthday gift He gave me even
before the birthday date. I also thank God for everyone that wished me well in
different styles and means either on social media, messages and calls inclusive,
it gives me great joy and it shows that God is using my life to impact some
lives through His life in me which is the light of the world. I celebrate
everyone, mummies and daddies, friends and well-wishers, I also want to specially
celebrate the first person who celebrated me that day, I won’t mention the name
so that the person won’t be blushing while reading this article. I
intentionally don’t want to mention any name so that I won’t offend or made
some people think they are of low values to me and would feel jealous because
surely I will omit many names if I decided to list names. But also I must
appreciate NCCF Kogi State as a whole for the love shown to me in my last year
birthday at the state conference at Ajaokuta, Kogi State. Lastly I also appreciate
God for writing my name in people’s heart. Thank y’all; we shall all meet at
the top in Jesus name.
Keep
enjoying Christ!
Yours
Lover,
Awotiku Akinlayo David
(King_Hosanna)
