We have names in heaven; we are going to bear our own names there; we will be known.

Known in Heaven

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain.

Isaiah 66:22

Many are anxious to know if they will recognize their friends in heaven. In Matthew 8:11, we read: “And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.” Here we find that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who lived so many hundreds of years before Christ, had not lost their identity. And if you will turn to that wonderful scene that took place on the Mount of Transfiguration, you will find that Moses (who had been gone from the earth 1,500 years) was there; Peter, James and John recognized him; he had not lost his name. Further, God says in Isaiah, “I will not blot your names out of the Lamb’s book of life.”

We have names in heaven; we are going to bear our own names there; we will be known.

None of us are here by accident. God knows each one of us by name. He created us in His image, but each one of us is unique, individual and known in heaven, Amen!

May GOD bless Nigeria, America and Israel and take care of us; May GOD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the LORD lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

May the grace the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen!
