Minister Calvin Watt

Good Morning Family; Please allow me to pray,
Father God we come to You this morning with our hands held high in a sign of surrender and as humbly as we know how. Father God we thank You, In the name of Jesus, for a costly cross, an empty tomb, a triumphant Savior, and a heart set free for all eternity! We ask right now for Your forgiveness for anything we might have said, done or even thought of. Please allow us to be a blessing for someone on this day.

We present ourselves to you Lord, as a living sacrifice, for ministry to the world. We pray that we would see others through your eyes of love and concern and that we would ask ourselves "What would Jesus do?" Please forgive us of the times we have been selfish or apathetic, for the times we have missed out on the opportunity to minister and be a blessing. We pray for all the people in our families and community who need a blessing right now.

We want to pray for Christians all around the world who need your hand and Your blessing right now; In the name of Jesus. Lord, you know our needs. You are good all the time, and all the time You are good. We pray that in Your mercy, You will reach out in the way You know best and meet those needs, uplift those spirits, bless those souls, for your glory. This is our prayer, in Jesus name, Amen, Amen and Amen. God Bless You All; Have A Great Godly Day in the Lord.

Easter, World, Price, Lambs...

PhotoPhotoPhoto: Staying the Course
When you respond to God's calling through repentance and baptism, many blessings and opportunities await you. Your mind will change.
"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts:3:19).
Baptism and the related steps we must take are only the beginning of the road to eternal life. Before we arrive at our ultimate destination, however, we have miles of road to travel. In this chapter we take a look at some of the aspects of our journey revealed by our road map, the Bible. Remember that we are traveling a narrow road (Matthew:7:14, NIV). A clear sense of purpose and direction can help us stay the course.
When we respond to God's calling through repentance and baptism, many blessings and opportunities await us. Our minds will change. We will grow in wisdom, knowledge and understanding (Proverbs:2:1-11). We will learn to think and act as God thinks and acts.
Keep going forward
Trials will come and sacrifices will be required (Matthew:10:35-39). These tests help us build godly character. James, half brother of Jesus Christ, wrote: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything" (James:1:2-4,NIV).
Jesus cautions us to count the cost of traveling this road, just as we would with any major life undertaking: "For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it—lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish'" (Luke:14:28-30).
Speaking to one potential follower who wanted to set conditions on his commitment, Jesus said, "No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (Luke:9:62). Jesus expects His followers to finish what they start.
Just as a small child learns to walk, we may be wobbly at first, stumbling in this new way of life. The temptations and trials we face will sometimes cause us to stagger and fall. But remember that God the Father and Jesus Christ are there to comfort and help us each step of the way.
Our job is to keep striving with God's help and to become mature Christians. Hebrews:5:13-14 tells us: "Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil"
Living God's way must always remain our priority. We must continually "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matthew:6:33).
Keys that can help us remain oriented to God's way of life include regular prayer and the study of God's Word. Furthermore, fellow shipping with other believers can be a tremendous encouragement in living our new lives dedicated to God.
In Matthew:7:21 Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." We are given a choice as to what we will do, but Jesus clearly expects that we do our part in remaining faithful to Him. As explained earlier, we must produce fruit in our lives that is pleasing to God.Photo

I do good NOT because I want to go to heaven (Heaven itself does not motivate me to be good). I do good NOT because I'm afraid of going to hell (There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.).I do good NOT because I will be receiving my rewards from my heavenly investments (Greed can't manipulate and motivate me).
I give and do good NOT because I will be receiving ten folds from what I give (Once again, greed, wealth and prosperity can't motivate me).
I do good NOT because I have to be good in order to be called a good christian. (Praises of men does not motivate me to be good).
I do good because... of the fact that I have been given what I don't deserved. I have been given Jesus Christ in midst of my ignorant, backsliding and rebellious heart, I have been shown mercy and love continually, He was FAITHFUL. I'm motivated to do good because of what He did for me upon that cross. I do good and will be continuing to do good and glorify Him because my heart is driven by His love. And lastly, I do good because I finally understood what "John 3:16" really meant in my life.

In case of emergency dial 911 and you will receive human help. In case of spiritual emergency believe Psalm 9111 and you will receive angelic help! ~Psalm 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

2 criminals on either side of Jesus, equally close to Jesus. 1 changed & 1 did not. The gift of choice. #HeChosetheNails

He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. 1 Peter 2:24 (NLT) #goodfriday #heavenisforreal
