Pastor’s thoughts:

--In 2020, let’s arise into our destiny. We are called to good works. To God’s workmanship.

--It is the ones that don’t have name recognition that one day in heaven when God judges all things that the people who ‘Arose into their destiny’ will be known and will be applauded.

--We don’t need any ones recognition and approval except for Jesus, to say I know your name. You belong to me.

--So don’t focus on being known on this earth. Or receiving recognition from men or women. Focus on arising into your destiny according to God’s perfect plan and will for your life.
