A part of the advantages of the recompense was an embroidered artwork exhibited to her. She found the stuff so brilliant that she suddenly wrapped herself in it, in that spot on the stage. On the embroidered artwork were a few names of God and that turned into a wellspring of motivation for her to compose what as of late turned out as one of her new books, His Name is… , subtitled as Over 2000 Names of My God.
She notes in the early on part of the work, "I enthusiastically wrapped it around myself within the sight of no less than 10,000 individuals. The names of God recorded on it had made my heart overlook anything that prompted quicker pulsates! The pass on was thrown and I realized what to do next."
The 110-page book introduces the writer as somebody willing to set up the greatness, all inclusiveness and uncommon wonders of the God she puts stock in. This she does by observing Him with names that look to characterize and reclassify His characteristics. While a portion of the terminologies are well known – like Emmanuel, Jehovah and Great Shepherd – others are basically novel. These incorporate Diadem of Beauty, Door, Last Adam, Lawgiver and Avenger.
However, what numerous may discover additionally charming is the creator's choice to show a considerable lot of the names in a few African dialects. These incorporate Yoruba (Adaratan – The person who is Completely Good – and Eri Ailopin – Endless Testimony); , Ibibio (Abasi Afid Abuk – God of All Flesh – and Abasi Mbom Mmi – God of my Mercy); Igbo (Oje Na Mmuo – He that Works in the Spirit – and Oputa Obie – The Beginning and the End); and Hausa (Tushen Rai – Author of Life and additionally Uba Madu Kaki – Father of Glory.
While Ghanaian dialects are not left out, others in which Alakija presents the names of her God are Spanish, French, Filipino, Indonesia, Italian, Zulu and Swahili.
His Name is arrives in an extremely bright sparkle – apparently not just to mirror the magnificence of the God being commended additionally the creator's social class. It is spotted with noteworthy pictorial pictures of thundering waters, woods and mountains. With these, the essayist is by all accounts offering all to her maker.
There have been numerous productions and musical chips away at the names of God. Be that as it may, aside from the high caliber of generation, the outing into numerous dialects endeavors of Alakija, depicted by Forbes as second wealthiest African lady, novel. She follows every name to a scriptural sacred text or verse, so that notwithstanding when a few names may sound odd – like Avenger – the creator binds this to a scriptural reference.
Obviously, as Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams notes in the foreword, Alakija goes past simply highlighting the names. In sections one and two, she digs into the topic of who God is and what she calls the force for the sake of God.
Duncan-Williams takes note of, "The book was composed from profound wells of knowledge and birthed by a righteous woman who has travailed and triumphed in supplication."
