Named By The Father: Trust in your God-given identity

You were named before the world had a chance to define you. There is a question that lives beneath every success, every achievement, and every applause-filled room. It surfaces in the silence in the drive home after a triumph, in the space between seasons, in the moment you are finally alone with yourself: Who am I when no one is telling me? Named by the Father is for the quietly exhausted by performance. For the believer who knows God in their head but has never felt the Father in their bones. For the person in a season of obscurity who wonders if they have been forgotten. For the leader who is strong in public and hollow in private. For anyone, regardless of background or belief, who has ever sensed that the life inside them is larger than the life they are living. Drawing from Yoruba ancestral wisdom, three decades of ministry, and as a military chaplaincy candidate, and the deepest currents of Scripture, Israel Igbayilola delivers a message that will not leave you where it finds you: Your identity was never yours to build. It was always yours to receive. In this transformative book, you will discover: - The difference between borrowed confidence and anchored identity, and why borrowed confidence always fails when you need it most - What oríkì, the ancient Yoruba practice of identity-naming, reveals about how God has always spoken over His people - Why the hidden season is not punishment, it is the formation that makes your public moment sustainable - How to move from orphan spirit to sonship and why so many high-functioning believers are still living like spiritual orphans - What it means to be Chosen, Royal, and Priestly, and how to stop talking about it and start living from it - How to carry the same identity into your work, money, relationships, and leadership without performing a different version of yourself in every room >This is not a self-help book dressed in spiritual language. This is a covenant reckoning a call to stop performing for belonging and start living from it. Israel Igbayilola is an active-duty soldier, Chaplain Candidate, financial coach, and founder of Brave & Regal LLC. He has walked alongside people on three different continents in their most defining seasons. He writes not from a classroom but from thirty years of hidden seasons, real rooms, and the God who named him before he knew how to ask for a name. If you are ready to stop auditioning for a life that was already given to you, this book is your invitation to come home. "Named by the Father will not just change how you think about yourself. It will change how you stand."
