Femi Fani-Kayode has called God in his own unique way, explained God in Twenty-six with adoring names.
In a post on his Facebook on Tuesday, 6 2019, the seasoned writer praised for gift of life, said “Ode unto Him alone”.
The post excerpt reads: In the 99 names of God, the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing, the All-Powerful, the Compassionate, the Merciful and the Great, I offer this ode unto Him alone.
He is the God of the Holy Word, the Creator of all that is, the Giver of Life and the Master of Death.
He is the Holy One of Israel whose coming was prophesied for thousands of years by the holy Prophets before it came to pass.
He is He that humbled Himself and shed His divinity, who came down as God incarnate in the flesh, who suffered on the cross, who shed His precious blood, who gave up His life as a living sacrifice
and who went down into hell.
He is He who overcame satan, death and the principalities and powers, who rose again, who ascended into Heaven and who sits at the right hand of God the Father.
He is He whose Holy Spirit guides, leads, protects, provides and fights for us as each day passes. He is He that is high and lifted up, whose train fills the Temple.
He is He that is awesome in battle, that no man can stand against. He is He who reigns supreme and before whom all other gods bow.
He is He that is more than able, whose Kingdom shall never end. He is He that makes all things beautiful in His own way and in His own time.
He is He that created the world and established the foundations of the universe by the power of His word. He is He that makes a promise and ALWAYS honors His word.
He is the Spoiler of our Enemies, our Advocate, our Defender, our Deliverer and our Judge. He is the husband of the widow and the father of the orphan. He is the
He is the Man of War, the Prince of Peace, the Avenger of our Blood, the Ancient of Days, the Lord of Hosts, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Comforter and the Consumming Fire.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Creator of all, the Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the Balm of Gilead and the Blood of the Sprinkling.
He is the Rejected Stone that became the Corner Stone, He is the lamb of God that saved the world.
He is the Gentle Nazarene, the Mighty Warrior, the Conqueror of Satan, the Great Provider and the Author and Finisher of my Faith.
He is my Shield, my Glory and the Lifter of my Head. He is my Heavenly Father who is filled with love, mercy and compassion, who guards me jealously and who never fails.
He is the Lord of the Universe and the God of the Twenty Four Elders that sit before His heavenly throne.
He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Lord of the Angels and the Archangels, the Lord of the Cherubims and the Seraphims and the King of Glory.
The Psalmist asked, “who is this King of Glory?” He answered by saying “the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle, He is the King of Glory!”
His name is Jehova Sabaoth, Jehova Rapha, Yahweh God and the I Am That I Am. He is irresistable, unknowable and unfathomable.
He is the God of the Armies of Israel. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the God of Gideon, Jeptha and Jehu!
He is the God of Sampson, Moses, Samuel and Joseph. He is the God of David and Cyrus. He is the God of Elijah, Elisha, Nathan and Paul. He is the God of Hezekiah and Nehemiah.
He is the God of the elemental forces: the God of the Seven-Fold Spirit of power and splendour who holds the four winds of the earth in the palm of His hand. He is the God of love, of wealth, of slendour, of magnificence and of plenty.
He is the Keeper of our souls and the protector of our spirits. He is the Merciful, the Benevolent, the Faithful, the Kind, the Compassionate and the Blessed.
He is the mighty Yashua: the great Yahweh God. He is the Adonai, the Elohim, the El Shaddai, the Lamb of God, the Risen King and the long-awaited mighty Messiah.
He is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Son of the Living God, who came down as God incarnate in the flesh, to whom every knee must bow, who came, saw and conquered and who shall return.
He is the Lord of Joy, the Giver of Life. We were created for His pleasure, He delights for us to prosper, He displays His glory and splendour in our lives, He is faithful to His word and besides Him there is none other.
