From Wande to Anike: I’m Changing My Name
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Hello, my beautiful family in the Lord 🫶🏽
Yahweh has called me into a new season. In moments of stillness with Him, He brought to my remembrance my names given at birth: Mutiat and Yewande. Mutiat is an Arabic Muslim name meaning obedience/devotion to Allah. Yewande is a Yoruba name meaning “the mother has returned” (aka reincarnation).
The Lord guided me to pray with my mother, with whom I share the Christian faith. From her and my time with the Lord, I was renamed. (I’ll share my full list of new names soon.)
The name I felt led to go by publicly is “Anike,” the short form of my fully hyphenated new middle name Ireoluwa-Anike. Meaning: The goodness of God - we have something to care for and cherish and not take for granted.
This isn’t a marketing scheme; it's just a life of full obedience, surrender, and submission to the Lord.
“Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ.” - Philippians 3:8 NLT
“For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” - Isaiah 55:9 NLT
My husband, parents, family, and business partners have been extremely supportive during this time as I step into this new season of letting go of the old and stepping into the new, all for the glory of Yahweh 🙌🏾
“Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth. Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” - Isaiah 43:18-19 NKJV
I encourage anyone who feels like the Lord is speaking to them to lean into His voice and tap into the Bible. Regardless of culture or what you may have been known for. Love you 🫶🏽
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.” - Psalms 111:10 NKJV

This is such an honor to me. Wait until I tell my daughter!! She introduced me to your music. I listen to your music so much and have found it to be so encouraging to me. My name is Anika which has the same meaning..."goodness." My name is Yoruba. To have a similar name to an artist that has been such an important part of my life recently is such a blessing and honor my sister. Blessings to you and this new season the Lord is bringing you into.
I'm gonna miss Wande, but I'm gonna love Anike more ❤❤❤
Big up, God bless, more Blessings pan da new path.

Hallo , ich wünsche Dir viel Glück und Erfolg mit Deinem neuen Namen👍Deine Videos sind sehr schön 😍🫶Viele Liebe Grüße Manuela Vielleicht sehen Du , Dein Mann und unsere Familie uns noch dieses Jahr in Germany🙌
Wande was a cool name but so is Anike! I love that you’re doing everything for the Lord out Father in heaven. I’m still use to Wande so I’m gonna have to practice saying you’re new name Now 😂 God bless you all and love your music ❤
At first I was so confused by this. Heard about this new artist called Anike, noticed she looked a LOT like Wande. Then started to realize I'd heard all her songs before, and thought "I could have SWORN this was a Wande song!" Then it hit me and I found this! :D
I love this for you, my sister in Yahweh! ❤️ When God speaks, we must act! All glory be to God!!!
Wow that's powerful, I really hope Anike's word spreads to the masses.
Psalms 57:7 - My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

What happens to the "Wande" in the songs? And also how do I pronounce this new name cause Wande is such a goated name 🥲
wow that's deep
💚
How do you pronounce it? I’m struggling to form the name.
Check
Anike!
Whats the name change about ?
You didn't say why you're changing your name 🤔 I mean, it was the title of the video...
Check description
I’m hearing a genre shift??
what the song??
Wait why did she change it
She explains in the first comment. In summary, her birth name had meaning that pointed to Praise of Allah and reincarnation and she felt God leading her to change it and her mother helped her through it.
What's the title of the background music?
It’s a song called “make me new” that will be included on my upcoming album this fall
@@itsanike thank you!
