Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The Power of Music by Winn Collier



1 Samuel 16:14-23



David Serves Saul



14 (Jdg 9:23; 1Sa 18:10) Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul

and an evil spirit from the Lord terrified him.

15 So the servants of Saul said to him, "See, an evil spirit from

God troubles you.

16 (2Ki 3:15; 1Sa 16:21-23) Let our lord now tell your servants, who are

before you, that they might seek out a man experienced in playing the lyre.

And it will come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is on you,

that he will play with his hand, and you will be well."

17 Saul said to his servants, "Find me now a man that can play well,

and bring him to me."

18 (1Sa 3:19; 17:32-36) Then one from the servants answered, and said,

"I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is experienced in playing

music, a mighty man of valor, a man of battle, and skillful in words, even

a man of fine appearance. And the Lord is with him."

19 (1Sa 16:11; 17:15) Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said,

"Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."

20 (1Sa 10:27; Pr 18:16) Jesse took a donkey laden with bread,

a bottle of wine, and a young goat and he sent them with his son David to Saul.

21 (Ge 41:46; Pr 22:29) David came to Saul, and stood before him.

And Saul loved him greatly and he became his armor bearer.

22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David stand before me, for he has found

favor in my sight."

23 It happened that when the evil spirit from God came on Saul,

David would take the lyre in his hand and play. So Saul was refreshed

and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.



[14] But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from

the LORD troubled him.

[15] And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God

troubleth thee.

[16] Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek

out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass,

when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his

hand, and thou shalt be well.

[17] And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play

well, and bring him to me.

[18] Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son

of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant

man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the

LORD is with him.

[19] Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy

son, which is with the sheep.

[20] And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a

kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

[21] And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly;

and he became his armourbearer.

[22] And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before

me; for he hath found favour in my sight.

[23] And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that

David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was

well, and the evil spirit departed from him.



On November 21, 1915, the hope of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his twenty-seven

crew members sank, along with their ship Endurance, into the darkness below

the Antarctic ice. They were stranded thousands of miles from home. Later,

the crew shared several things that aided their survival, including a banjo.

Embarking on their brutal trek, Leonard Hussey (the expedition's

meteorologist) was the only person allowed more than two pounds of personal

gear. He was allowed to bring his twelve-pound Windsor banjo. "It's vital

mental medicine," Shackleton told Hussey, "and we shall need it." The crew's

journals explained the power of Hussey's music. "The banjo does . . . supply

brain food," wrote one sailor. Another reflected on "Hussey's indispensable

banjo."



The Bible presents music as one of God's immense gifts, a way His healing

and comfort enter the human heart. In the tragic story of King Saul, we hear

how (due to his disobedience) he was oppressed by

an "evil spirit" (1 Samuel 16:14). And what did Saul’s attendants believe

the king needed to provide relief? Music. So they found young David with

his harp: "David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come

to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him" (v. 23).



Music offers more than mere entertainment. It can bring joy, renew hope,

and comfort weary souls. It's truly one of God's powerful gifts.



Reflect & Pray



What encouragement has music offered you?

How has it deepened your relationship with God?



Dear God, thank You for the gift of music!

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 4 "Formula" for Forgiveness



Luke 17:3 - 4



3 (Lev 19:17; Mt 18:21)"Take heed to yourselves."

"If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. And if he repents,

forgive him.

4 (Mt 18:21-22) If he sins against you seven times in a day,

and seven times in a day turns to you, saying,

'I repent,' you must forgive him."



3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;

and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,

and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;

thou shalt forgive him.



The context of these verses give us an interesting perspective of Jesus'

disciples. In a corollary passage in Matthew 18, the disciples (through

Peter, the designated mouthpiece) ask Jesus,

21 (Mt 18:15; Lk 17:3-4) Then Peter came to Him and said,

"Lord, how often shall I forgive my brother who sins against me?

Up to seven times?" (Matthew 18:21)

The disciples wanted a "formula" for forgiveness: they wanted to be able to

develop a checklist. Once, twice, maybe three times a brother could be

forgiven, but after that, you could write him off. After all, if

he keeps on offending over and over again, he doesn't deserve to be forgiven!

But Jesus says, " Rebuke him - let him know his fault; if he repents,

forgive him - even seven times in the same day!"

And the disciplines' response is predictable: "Lord, increase our faith!" They

were more comfortable with their own formula for forgiveness than with the

outrageous demands of the love that Christ imposed upon them.

We are so like the disciples. We want to draw a line and say. "This far

- no more. I'll forgive you once, but don't do it again. Now that you're

forgiven, you'd better shape up!". Yet God's love doesn't recognise "again".

He forgives, and no matter how often we come to him in repentance

for repeated offenses, his arms of forgiveness are open to us.

That is the way God wants us to forgive. He wants us to lay aside our

checklists, put away our suspicions, abandon our scoreboards, and forgive.

Seven times, or seventy times seven, as often as we have sinned against God

and been forgiven, we are to forgive.



Application



a) Have I ever kept a "scorecard" of performance on someone I

have forgiven ? Why?



b) Why do I need "increased faith" to be able to forgive as

Jesus calls me to?

Proverbs 22:7

7 The rich ruleth over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Saddened by Loss



John 14:1 - 7



1 "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me.

2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

I am going to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again

and receive you to Myself,

that where I am, you may be also.

4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."

5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know

where You are going. How can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.

From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."



1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,

I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,

and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;

and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:

and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Proverbs 8

Wisdom and Folly

1 Doth not wisdom cry?

And understanding put forth her voice?

2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way

In the places of the paths.

3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city,

At the coming in at the doors.

4 Unto you, O men, I call;

And my voice is to the sons of man.

5 O ye simple, understand wisdom:

And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things;

And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

7 For my mouth shall speak truth;

And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;

There is nothing froward or perverse in them.

9 They are all plain to him that understandeth,

And right to them that find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver;

And knowledge rather than choice gold.

11 For wisdom is better than rubies;

And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

12 I wisdom dwell with prudence,

And find out knowledge of witty inventions.

13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:

Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,

And the froward mouth, do I hate.

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:

I am understanding; I have strength.

15 By me kings reign,

And princes decree justice.

16 By me princes rule,

And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

17 I love them that love me;

And those that seek me early shall find me.

18 Riches and honour are with me;

Yea, durable riches and righteousness.

19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;

And my revenue than choice silver.

20 I lead in the way of righteousness,

In the midst of the paths of judgment:

21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;

And I will fill their treasures.

22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,

Before his works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,

Or ever the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth;

When there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled,

Before the hills was I brought forth:

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,

Nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there:

When he set a compass upon the face of the depth:

28 When he established the clouds above:

When he strengthened the fountains of the deep:

29 When he gave to the sea his decree,

That the waters should not pass his commandment:

When he appointed the foundations of the earth:

30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:

And I was daily his delight,

Rejoicing always before him;

31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;

And my delights were with the sons of men.

32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children:

For blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise,

And refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me,

Watching daily at my gates,

Waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life,

And shall obtain favour of the LORD.

36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:

All they that hate me love death.



Proverbs 9



The Way of Wisdom



1 (Eph 2:20-22; Mt 16:18) Wisdom has built her house,

she has hewn out her seven pillars;

2 (Pr 23:30) she has killed her beasts, she has mixed her wine,

she has also furnished her table.

3 (Pr 9:14; 8:1-3) She has sent out her maidens,

she cries out from the highest places of the city,

4 (Pr 6:32; 9:16) "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here."

As for him who wants understanding, she says to him,

5 (SS 5:1; Jn 6:27) "Come, eat of my bread,

and drink of the wine which I have mixed.

6 Forsake foolishness and live,

and go in the way of understanding."

7 He who reproves a scorner gets shame for himself,

and he who rebukes a wicked man gets hurt.

8 (Ps 141:5; Mt 7:6 ) Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you;

rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

9 (Pr 1:5) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser;

teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

10 (Pr 1:7; Job 28:28; Ps 111:10) The fear of the Lord

is the beginning of wisdom,

and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 (Pr 10:27; 3:16) For by me your days will be multiplied,

and the years of your life will be increased.

12 (Job 22:2-3) If you are wise, you will be wise for yourself,

but if you scorn, you alone will bear it.



1 Wisdom hath builded her house,

She hath hewn out her seven pillars:

2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;

She hath also furnished her table.

3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth

Upon the highest places of the city,

4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:

As for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

5 Come, eat of my bread,

And drink of the wine which I have mingled.

6 Forsake the foolish, and live;

And go in the way of understanding.

7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame:

And he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:

Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:

Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:

And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied,

And the years of thy life shall be increased.

12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself:

But if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.



The Way of Foolishness



13 (Pr 7:11; 5:6 ) A foolish woman is clamorous;

she is simple, and knows nothing.

14 (Pr 9:3) For she sits at the door of her house,

on a seat in the high places of the city,

15 to call those who pass by

who go right on their way:

16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here."

And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

17 (Pr 20:17; 30:20) "Stolen waters are sweet,

and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."

18 (Pr 7:27) But he does not know that the dead are there,

and that her guests are in the depths of the grave.



13 A foolish woman is clamorous:

She is simple, and knoweth nothing.

14 For she sitteth at the door of her house,

On a seat in the high places of the city,

15 To call passengers

Who go right on their ways:

16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:

And as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

17 Stolen waters are sweet,

And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there;

And that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Proverbs 7



Beware of the Adulteress



1 (Pr 1:8) My son, keep my words,

and lay up my commandments within you.

2 (Dt 32:10; Ps 17:8) Keep my commandments and live,

and my teaching as the apple of your eye.

3 (Pr 3:3; 6:21) Bind them on your fingers;

write them on the tablet of your heart.

4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"

and call understanding your kinswoman,

5 (Pr 2:16; 6:24) that they may keep you from the immoral woman,

from the seductress who flatters with her words.

6 For at the window of my house

I looked through my casement,

7 (Pr 6:32; 1:22) and saw among the simple ones,

I discerned among the youths,

a young man void of understanding,

8 passing through the street near her corner;

and he went the way to her house

9 in the twilight, in the evening,

in the black and dark night.

10 (Ge 38:14-15; 1Ti 2:9) And there a woman met him,

with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.

11 (Pr 9:13; Titus 2:5) She is loud and stubborn;

her feet do not abide in her house.

12 (Pr 23:28; 9:14) Now she is without, now in the streets,

and lies in wait at every corner.

13 (Ge 39:12) So she caught him, and kissed him;

and with an impudent face said to him:

14 (Lev 7:11) "I have peace offerings with me;

this day have I paid my vows.

15 Therefore I came out to meet you,

diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.

16 (Isa 19:9; Eze 27:7) I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,

with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

17 (Ps 45:8) I have perfumed my bed

with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning;

let us solace ourselves with love.

19 (Mt 20:11) For my husband is not at home;

he has gone on a long journey;

20 he has taken a bag of money with him,

and will come home at the day appointed."

21 (Pr 5:3; Ps 12:2) With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,

with the flattering of her lips she seduced him.

22 He went after her straightway,

as an ox goes to the slaughter,

or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,

23 (Ecc 9:12) until a dart struck through his liver.

As a bird hastens to the snare,

he did not know that it would cost him his life.

24 (Pr 5:7; 4:1) Listen to me now therefore, O children,

and attend to the words of my mouth:

25 (Pr 5:8 ) do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,

do not go astray in her paths;

26 (Ne 13:26) for she has cast down many wounded,

and many strong men have been slain by her.

27 (Pr 5:5; 9:18) Her house is the way to Sheol,

going down to the chambers of death.



Proverbs 7

1 My son, keep my words,

And lay up my commandments with thee.

2 Keep my commandments, and live;

And my law as the apple of thine eye.

3 Bind them upon thy fingers,

Write them upon the table of thine heart.

4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister;

And call understanding thy kinswoman:

5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman,

From the stranger which flattereth with her words.

6 For at the window of my house

I looked through my casement,

7 And beheld among the simple ones,

I discerned among the youths,

A young man void of understanding,

8 Passing through the street near her corner;

And he went the way to her house,

9 In the twilight, in the evening,

In the black and dark night:

10 And, behold, there met him a woman

With the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

11 (She is loud and stubborn;

Her feet abide not in her house:

12 Now is she without, now in the streets,

And lieth in wait at every corner.)

13 So she caught him, and kissed him,

And with an impudent face said unto him,

14 I have peace offerings with me;

This day have I payed my vows.

15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee,

Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,

With carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.

17 I have perfumed my bed

With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning:

Let us solace ourselves with loves.

19 For the goodman is not at home,

He is gone a long journey:

20 He hath taken a bag of money with him,

And will come home at the day appointed.

21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield,

With the flattering of her lips she forced him.

22 He goeth after her straightway,

As an ox goeth to the slaughter,

Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

23 Till a dart strike through his liver;

As a bird hasteth to the snare,

And knoweth not that it is for his life.

24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children,

And attend to the words of my mouth.

25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways,

Go not astray in her paths.

26 For she hath cast down many wounded:

Yea, many strong men have been slain by her.

27 Her house is the way to hell,

Going down to the chambers of death.



Proverbs 8

The Virtue of Wisdom

1 (Pr 1:20-21) Does not wisdom cry out,

and understanding lift up her voice?

2 She stands on the top of high places,

by the way in the places of the paths.

3 (Job 29:7) She cries out at the gates,

at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors:

4 "To you, O men, I call,

and my voice is to the sons of men.

5 (Pr 1:22; 1:4) O you simple, understand wisdom,

and you fools, be of an understanding heart.

6 Hear, for I will speak of excellent things,

and from the opening of my lips will be right things;

7 (Jn 8:14; Ps 37:30) for my mouth will speak truth,

and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;

there is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

9 (Pr 14:6) They are all plain to him who understands,

and right to those who find knowledge.

10 (Ps 119:72; 119:127) Receive my instruction, and not silver,

and knowledge rather than choice gold;

11 (Job 28:15-19; Ps 19:10) for wisdom is better than rubies,

and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

12 (Pr 1:4 ) "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,

and find out knowledge and discretion.

13 (Pr 16:6; Ps 97:10) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;

pride and arrogance

and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.

14 (Ecc 7:19; Isa 9:6) Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;

I am understanding, I have strength.

15 (Da 2:21; Ro 13:1) By me kings reign,

and princes decree justice.

16 By me princes rule,

and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

17 (1Sa 2:30; Jn 14:21) I love those who love me,

and those who seek me early will find me.

18 (Pr 3:16; Mt 6:33) Riches and honor are with me,

yes, enduring riches and righteousness.

19 (Pr 3:14; 8:10) My fruit is better than gold,

yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.

20 I lead in the way of righteousness,

in the midst of the paths of justice,

21 that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,

and I will fill their treasuries.

22 (Pr 3:19) "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way,

before His works of old.

23 (Ps 2:6) I was set up from everlasting,

from the beginning, before there was ever an earth.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth,

when there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 (Ps 90:2) Before the mountains were settled,

before the hills I was brought forth;

26 while as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,

or the first dust of the world.

27 (Pr 3:19; Isa 40:22) When He prepared the heavens, I was there,

when He drew a circle on the face of the deep,

28 when He established the clouds above,

when He strengthened the fountains of the deep,

29 (Ps 104:9; Ge 1:9-10) when He gave to the sea His decree,

that the waters should not pass His commandment,

when He appointed the foundations of the earth,

30 (Jn 1:1-3; Mt 3:17) then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him;

and I was daily His delight,

rejoicing always before Him,

31 (Ps 16:3; Jn 13:1) rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth,

and my delights were with the sons of men.

32 (Ps 119:1-2; Lk 11:28) "Now therefore listen to me, O you children,

for blessed are those who keep my ways.

33 (Pr 4:1) Hear instruction, and be wise,

and do not refuse it.

34 (Pr 3:13) Blessed is the man who hears me,

watching daily at my gates,

waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 (Pr 12:2; 3:13-18) For whoever finds me finds life,

and will obtain favor of the Lord;

36 (Pr 1:31; 15:32) but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;

all those who hate me love death."

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 3 The Kind Heart of Forgiveness



Ephesians 4:32



32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12-13; Mt 6:12) And be kind one to another,

tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.



32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.



Don had lost his job because he stood against his boss and refused to

compromise his Christian principles. Certain friends in the company had

turned against him, choosing to save their own jobs at any cost,

and he felt very alone, abandoned when he most needed the support

of those who cared.

But Don showed no signs of bitterness or unforgiveness. He refused to

recite the details of his firing to those around him, saying simply and

honestly, " I believe my boss was wrong in what he did. But God can show

him." The kindness of Don's heart, and the tenderness with which he

extended forgiveness, became a testimony to all who knew him. Don's

boss never "saw the light", never repented, but Don lived in the freedom of

forgiving.

Comparison is a rare commodity among Christains today. We seem to be

overstocked with judgment and crammed full of condemnation, but we have

little space in the corners of our lives for tenderheartedness. We are quick

to assume that we know another person's heart and have the remedy for

the problem, rather then giving that person the benefit of the doubt,

the room to grow, the freedom to make a mistake and seek forgiveness.

Jesus demonstrated the king compassion necessary in forgiveness when he

looked down at the soldiers who has crucified him, gambling at his feet

for his cloak, and said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what

are doing."

When others hurt and betray us, they often "do not know what they are

doing." we can, in Christ, offer compassionate forgiveness to them -

not condoning their actions or excusing their wrong, but forgiving ,

in the simplicity and purity of God's love.



Application



a) What is the difference between excusing a wrong and forgiving?



b) How has God forgiven me for Christ's sake?



c) What does today's verse tell me about my attitude in forgiveness?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 28:11



11 (Dt 28:4; 30:9) The Lord will make you overflow in prosperity,

in the offspring of your body, in the offspring of your livestock,

and in the produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore

to your fathers to give you.



11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body,

and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land

which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are lonely



1 John 4:16b-18



God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

17 (1Jn 2:5; 2:28) In this way God's love is perfected in us,

so that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as He is,

so are we in this world.

18 (Ro 8:15; 2Ti 1:7) There is no fear in love,

but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.

Whoever fears is not perfect in love.



God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness

in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:

because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

Proverbs 5

Warning Against Adultery [Pornography]



1 (Pr 4:20; 22:17) My son, attend to my wisdom,

and bow your ear to my understanding,

2 that you may regard discretion,

and that your lips may keep knowledge.

3 (Ps 55:21; Pr 2:16) For the lips of an immoral woman drip as a honeycomb,

and her mouth is smoother than oil.

4 (Ecc 7:26; Ps 55:21) But her end is bitter as wormwood,

sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 (Pr 7:27) Her feet go down to death, her steps take hold of Sheol.

6 (Pr 4:26) She does not ponder the path of life;

her ways are unstable, and she does not know it.

7 (Pr 4:1) Hear me now therefore, O children,

and do not depart from the words of my mouth.

8 Remove your way far from her,

and do not go near the door of her house,

9 lest you give your honor to others,

and your years to the cruel;

10 lest strangers be filled with your wealth,

and your labors go to the house of a stranger;

11 and you mourn at the last,when your flesh and your body are consumed,

12 (Pr 12:1; 1:22) and say, "How I have hated instruction,

and my heart despised reproof!

13 And I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,

nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

14 I was almost in utter ruin

in the midst of the congregation and assembly."

15 Drink waters out of your own cistern,

and running waters out of your own well.

16 (Ps 68:26) Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,

streams of water in the streets?

17 Let them be only your own,

and not for strangers with you.

18 (Ecc 9:9) Let your fountain be blessed,

and rejoice with the wife of your youth.

19 (SS 2:9; 4:5) Let her be as the loving deer and pleasant doe;

let her breasts satisfy you at all times;

and always be enraptured with her love.

20 (Pr 6:24; 7:5 ) Why should you, my son, be intoxicated by an immoral woman,

and embrace the bosom of a seductress?

21 (Hos 7:2; Heb 4:13) For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,

and He ponders all his goings.

22 (Ps 7:15-16; 9:15) His own iniquities entrap the wicked himself,

and he is snared in the cords of his sins.

23 (Job 4:21; 36:12) He will die for lack of instruction,

and in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.



Proverbs 5

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom,

And bow thine ear to my understanding:

2 That thou mayest regard discretion,

And that thy lips may keep knowledge.

3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb,

And her mouth is smoother than oil:

4 But her end is bitter as wormwood,

Sharp as a twoedged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death;

Her steps take hold on hell.

6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life,

Her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children,

And depart not from the words of my mouth.

8 Remove thy way far from her,

And come not nigh the door of her house:

9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others,

And thy years unto the cruel:

10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth;

And thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

11 And thou mourn at the last,

When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

12 And say, How have I hated instruction,

And my heart despised reproof;

13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,

Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

14 I was almost in all evil

In the midst of the congregation and assembly.

15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern,

And running waters out of thine own well.

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad,

And rivers of waters in the streets.

17 Let them be only thine own,

And not strangers' with thee.

18 Let thy fountain be blessed:

And rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe;

Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times;

And be thou ravished always with her love.

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,

And embrace the bosom of a stranger?

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD,

And he pondereth all his goings.

22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,

And he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

23 He shall die without instruction;

And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Proverbs 6

Warning Against Pledges



1 (Pr 11:15; 17:18) My son, if you put up a security for your friend,

if you have shaken hands with a stranger,

2 you are snared with the words of your mouth;

you are taken with the words of your mouth.

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself;

when you have come into the hand of your friend,

go and humble yourself;

plead with your friend.

4 (Ps 132:4) Give no sleep to your eyes,

nor slumber to your eyelids.

5 (Ps 91:3; 124:7) Deliver yourself as a doe from the hand of the hunter,

and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.



1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend,

If thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth,

Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself,

When thou art come into the hand of thy friend;

Go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes,

Nor slumber to thine eyelids.

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter,

And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.



The Folly of Idleness



6 (Pr 10:26; 20:4 ) Go to the ant, you sluggard!

Consider her ways and be wise.

7 Which, having no guide,

overseer, or ruler,

8 (Pr 10:5 ) provides her bread in the summer,

and gathers her food in the harvest.

9 (Pr 24:33-34) How long will you sleep, O sluggard?

When will you arise out of your sleep?

10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to sleep-

11 (Pr 24:34) so will your poverty come upon you like a stalker,

and your need as an armed man.



6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard;

Consider her ways, and be wise:

7 Which having no guide,

Overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer,

And gathereth her food in the harvest.

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?

When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,

A little folding of the hands to sleep:

11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth,

And thy want as an armed man.



The Wicked Man



12 (Pr 4:24 ) A wayward person, a wicked man,

walks with a perverse mouth.

13 (Ps 35:19; Pr 10:10 ) He winks with his eyes,

he signals with his feet,

he motions with his fingers;

14 (Mic 2:1; Pr 6:18-19) perversity is in his heart,

he devises mischief continually, he sows discord.

15 (2Ch 36:16; Jer 19:11 ) Therefore his calamity will come suddenly;

in a moment he will be broken without remedy.

16 These six things the Lord hates,

yes, seven are an abomination to him:

17 (Pr 12:22; Isa 1:15 ) a proud look,

a lying tongue,

and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 (Ge 6:5; Pr 1:16) a heart that devises wicked imaginations,

feet that are swift in running to mischief,

19 (Ps 27:12; Pr 6:14) a false witness who speaks lies,

and he who sows discord among brethren.



12 A naughty person, a wicked man,

Walketh with a froward mouth.

13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet,

He teacheth with his fingers;

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually;

He soweth discord.

15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;

Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

16 These six things doth the LORD hate:

Yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue,

And hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,

Feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies,

And he that soweth discord among brethren.



Warning Against Adultery



20 (Eph 6:1 ) My son, keep your father's commandment,

and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.

21 (Pr 3:3) Bind them continually upon your heart,

and tie them around your neck.

22 (Pr 2:11; 3:23-24) When you go, they will lead you;

when you sleep, they will keep you;

and when you awake, they will speak with you.

23 (Ps 119:105; 19:8) For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light;

and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

24 (Pr 2:16; 7:5) to keep you from the evil woman,

from the flattery of the tongue of a seductress.

25 (2Ki 9:30; Mt 5:28) Do not lust after her beauty in your heart,

nor let her allure you with her eyelids.

26 (Pr 29:3; 1Sa 2:36 ) For by means of a harlot a man

is reduced to a piece of bread,

and the adulteress will prey upon his precious life.

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom,

and his clothes not be burned?

28 Can one walk upon hot coals,

and his feet not be burned?

29 So he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;

whoever touches her will not be innocent.

30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals

to satisfy himself when he is hungry.

31 But if he is found, he will restore sevenfold;

he will give all the substance of his house.

32 (Pr 7:7; 7:22-23) But whoever commits adultery

with a woman lacks understanding;

he who does it destroys his own soul.

33 (Pr 5:9-11) A wound and dishonor will he get,

and his reproach will not be wiped away.

34 (Pr 27:4; SS 8:6) For jealousy is the rage of a man;

therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35 He will not regard any ransom,

nor will he rest content, though you give many gifts.



20 My son, keep thy father's commandment,

And forsake not the law of thy mother:

21 Bind them continually upon thine heart,

And tie them about thy neck.

22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee;

When thou sleepest, it shall keep thee;

And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;

And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24 To keep thee from the evil woman,

From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart;

Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread:

And the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom,

And his clothes not be burned?

28 Can one go upon hot coals,

And his feet not be burned?

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife;

Whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal

To satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold;

He shall give all the substance of his house.

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding:

He that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

33 A wound and dishonour shall he get;

And his reproach shall not be wiped away.

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man:

Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35 He will not regard any ransom;

Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.



2) Our Daily Bread for 2 June 2026 titles

Our Part, God's Part by Leslie Koh



Philippians 2:12-13



12 (2Co 7:15; Php 1:5) Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed,

not only in my presence, but so much more in my absence, work out your

own salvation with fear and trembling.

13 (Heb 13:21; Ezr 1:5) For God is the One working in you, both to will

and to do His good pleasure.



[12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence

only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear

and trembling.

[13] For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good

pleasure.



Philippians 3:12-16



12 (1Co 13:10; 1Ti 6:19) Not that I have already attained or have already been

perfected, but I follow after it so that I may lay hold of that for which

I was seized by Christ Jesus.

13 (Lk 9:62; Ps 45:10) Brothers, I do not count myself to have attained,

but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind

and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

14 (Heb 3:1; 1Pe 5:10) I press toward the goal to the prize of the high

calling of God in Christ Jesus.

15 (1Co 2:6; Gal 5:10) Therefore let those of us who are mature be thus

minded. And if you think differently in any way,

God will reveal even this to you.

16 (Gal 6:16) Nevertheless, according to what we have already attained,

let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.



[12] Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but

I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended

of Christ Jesus.

[13] Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I

do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those

things which are before,

[14] I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in

Christ Jesus.

[15] Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any

thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

[16] Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same

rule, let us mind the same thing.



In Singapore, the government encourages people to support good causes by

donation-matching. It "tops up" "donations to specific charities by

contributing an equal amount or more. By effectively multiplying people's

contributions, it hopes to encourage them to become more involved in

charitable giving.



This two-pronged approach reminds me of how believers in Jesus are called to

God's standards of holiness in our discipleship journey. In his letter to the

Philippians, Paul urges them "to work out [their] salvation" (2:12) and "press

on" (3:12, 14). At the same time, he stresses that "it is God who works in you

to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose" (2:13).



Believers in Jesus aren't made right with God by good works or performance.

But there is an idea of partnership in our spiritual growth. It requires heart

and effort on our part, yet we do not do it by human strength. Having saved us

by grace, God calls us to be holy - set apart for Him - and we respond in

sincerity and gratitude. As we seek to obey and please Him, He enables and

helps us to do so. He shows us when we go wrong (Philippians 3:15), gives us

strength to resist temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13), and empowers us to do

what's right in His eyes (Ephesians 2:10).



Reflect & Pray



What are your biggest challenges in seeking to be faithful and pleasing to

God? How can you rely more on the Holy Spirit's strength?



Holy God, please help me to be holy and faithful

in my journey, for I know that You desire me to be like Your Son Jesus.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Proverbs 2

1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,

And hide my commandments with thee;

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,

And apply thine heart to understanding;

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,

And liftest up thy voice for understanding;

4 If thou seekest her as silver,

And searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD,

And find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD giveth wisdom:

Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:

He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8 He keepeth the paths of judgment,

And preserveth the way of his saints.

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment,

And equity; yea, every good path.

10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart,

And knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;

11 Discretion shall preserve thee,

Understanding shall keep thee:

12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,

From the man that speaketh froward things;

13 Who leave the paths of uprightness,

To walk in the ways of darkness;

14 Who rejoice to do evil,

And delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

15 Whose ways are crooked,

And they froward in their paths:

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman,

Even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth,

And forgetteth the covenant of her God.

18 For her house inclineth unto death,

And her paths unto the dead.

19 None that go unto her return again,

Neither take they hold of the paths of life.

20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,

And keep the paths of the righteous.

21 For the upright shall dwell in the land,

And the perfect shall remain in it.

22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth,

And the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.



Proverbs 3



The Rewards of Wisdom



1 (Pr 4:5; Dt 8:1) My son, do not forget my teaching,

but let your heart keep my commandments;

2 (Pr 4:10; Ps 91:16) for length of days and long life

and peace will they add to you.

3 (Pr 7:3; 6:21; 2Co 3:3) Do not let mercy and truth forsake you;

bind them around your neck,

write them on the tablet of your heart,

4 (Ps 111:10; 1Sa 2:26; Lk 2:52) so you will find favor and good understanding

in the sight of God and man.

5 (Ps 37:3; 37:5) Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and lean not on your own understanding;

6 (1Ch 28:9; Pr 16:3; Jer 10:23) in all your ways acknowledge Him,

and He will direct your paths.

7 (Job 1:1; Ro 12:16) Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord and depart from evil.

8 (Job 21:24; Pr 4:22) It will be health to your body,

and strength to your bones.

9 (Ex 23:19; 22:29) Honor the Lord with your substance,

and with the first fruits of all your increase;

10 (Dt 28:8) so your barns will be filled with plenty,

and your presses will burst out with new wine.

11 (Job 5:17) My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,

nor be weary of His correction;

12 (Dt 8:5) for whom the Lord loves He corrects,

even as a father the son in whom he delights.

13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom,

and the man who gets understanding;

14 (Pr 8:19; 16:16) for her benefit is more profitable than silver,

and her gain than fine gold.

15 (Pr 8:11; Job 28:18) She is more precious than rubies,

and all the things you may desire are not to be compared with her.

16 (Pr 3:2) Length of days is in her right hand,

and in her left hand riches and honor.

17 (Ps 119:165; Mt 11:28-30) Her ways are ways of pleasantness,

and all her paths are peace.

18 (Ge 2:9; Pr 11:30) She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,

and happy is everyone who retains her.

19 (Ps 104:24; 136:5) The Lord by wisdom has founded the earth;

by understanding He has established the heavens;

20 (Ge 7:11; Dt 33:28) by His knowledge the depths are broken up,

and the clouds drop down the dew.

21 (Pr 4:21) My son, let them not depart from your eyes-

keep sound wisdom and discretion;

22 (Pr 1:9; 4:22) so they will be life to your soul

and grace to your neck.

23 (Pr 4:12; 10:9) Then you will walk safely in your way,

and your foot will not stumble.

24 (Ps 3:5; Pr 6:22) When you lie down, you will not be afraid;

yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

25 (Ps 91:5; 1Pe 3:14) Do not be afraid of sudden terror,

nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;

26 (1Sa 2:9)for the Lord will be your confidence,

and will keep your foot from being caught.

27 (Gal 6:10; Ro 13:7 ) Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,

when it is in the power of your hand to do it.

28 (Lev 19:13) Do not say to your neighbor,

"Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give it,"

when you have it with you.

29 (Pr 6:14) Do not devise evil against your neighbor,

seeing he dwells securely by you.

30 Do not strive with a man without cause,

if he has done you no harm.

31 (Ps 37:1; Pr 24:1) Do not envy the oppressor,

and choose none of his ways;

32 (Ps 25:14; Pr 11:20) for the perverse is an abomination to the Lord,

but His secret counsel is with the righteous.

33 (Mal 2:2; Ps 1:3) The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,

but He blesses the habitation of the just.

34 (Jas 4:6; 1Pe 5:5; Ps 138:6) Surely He scorns the scornful,

but He gives favor to the humble.

35 The wise will inherit glory,

but shame will be the legacy of fools.



Proverbs 3

1 My son, forget not my law;

But let thine heart keep my commandments:

2 For length of days, and long life,

And peace, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:

Bind them about thy neck;

Write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding

In the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;

And lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,

And he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes:

Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel,

And marrow to thy bones.

9 Honour the LORD with thy substance,

And with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,

And thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD;

Neither be weary of his correction:

12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth;

Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,

And the man that getteth understanding.

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver,

And the gain thereof than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies:

And all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

16 Length of days is in her right hand;

And in her left hand riches and honour.

17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,

And all her paths are peace.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:

And happy is every one that retaineth her.

19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth;

By understanding hath he established the heavens.

20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up,

And the clouds drop down the dew.

21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes:

Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22 So shall they be life unto thy soul,

And grace to thy neck.

23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely,

And thy foot shall not stumble.

24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid:

Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

25 Be not afraid of sudden fear,

Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.

26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence,

And shall keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,

When it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again,

And to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour,

Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.

30 Strive not with a man without cause,

If he have done thee no harm.

31 Envy thou not the oppressor,

And choose none of his ways.

32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD:

But his secret is with the righteous.

33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked:

But he blesseth the habitation of the just.

34 Surely he scorneth the scorners:

But he giveth grace unto the lowly.

35 The wise shall inherit glory:

But shame shall be the promotion of fools.

2) Our Daily Bread for 1 June 2025 Titled

Generous Giving by Amy Boucher Pye



Deuteronomy 14:23-29



23 (Dt 4:10; 12:5-7) You must eat before the Lord your God,

in the place in which He shall choose to place His name,

the tithe of your grain, of your wine, of your oil,

and of the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks so that

you may learn to always fear the Lord your God.

24 (Dt 12:21; 12:5) If the distance is too long for you, so that you are

not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, where

the Lord your God shall choose to set His name, when the Lord

your God blesses you,

25 then you shall exchange it for money and bind up the money

in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.

26 (Dt 12:7; Ecc 9:7) Then you may spend that money for whatever

your heart desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink,

or for whatever your heart desires, and you may eat there before the Lord

your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,

27 (Nu 18:20; Dt 14:29) and the Levite that is within your gates.

You must not forsake him, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

28 (Dt 14:22; Am 4:4) At the end of three years you must bring forth

all the tithe of your produce the same year and lay it up within your gates.

29 (Dt 15:10; 14:27) Then the Levite (because he has no portion

or inheritance with you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow,

who are within your gates, shall come and shall eat and be satisfied,

so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand

which you do.



[23] And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall

choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of

thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou

mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

[24] And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry

it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall

choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

[25] Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine

hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:

[26] And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after,

for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever

thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and

thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

[27] And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him;

for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.

[28] At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine

increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:

[29] And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,)

and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy

gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may

bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.



When Oswald and Biddy Chambers ran a Bible college in London from 1911

to 1915, they continued with their life principle of not turning away those in

need. Astute Londoners were aghast at this practice, thinking the college

would be taken advantage of. In response, Oswald observed, without inviting

others to follow in the practice, "My responsibility is to give.

God will look after who asks."



The couple followed the example of our generous Creator. Through His

instructions to Moses, God laid out gracious ways for His people to live and

serve others, including the giving of their food and possessions. Moses told

the Israelites at the end of every three years to "bring all the tithes" so

the Levites, "foreigners, the fatherless and the widows," could come and

"eat and be satisfied" (Deuteronomy 14:28-29). Through the generosity of His

people, God cares for the vulnerable.



The Chambers' trust in God was so strong that they gave willingly and without

question. They'd learned to "revere . . . God always" (v. 23) and receive His

blessing "in all the work of [their] hands" (v. 29).



We may also feel inspired to give freely while we lean on God for wisdom and

discernment. We know that God will generously lead and guide as He provides

for the foreigners, the fatherless, and the widows.



Reflect & Pray



What’s your view and practice of giving?

How has God provided for your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs?



Generous God, I look to You for all I need. I know

that You're the source of all good things. I worship You.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 2 - The key to the Prison Cell



Matt 6:14-15



14 For if you forgive men for their sins, your heavenly Father will

also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men for their sins,

neither will your Father forgive your sins.



14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will

also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses,

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.



Ann had been badly wounded in a relationship that had ended in anger

and accusation. For more than a year, Ann nursed her bitterness, rallying

support for her attitudes from friends and colleagues. Any time she saw

her former friend, Ann put up an icy wall of hostility. She thought she was

"getting over" the hurt, but the very mention of her friend's name brought

back a flood of negative feelings. Ann was trapped, locked in a prison of

unforgiveness , a jail built block by block by her own unwillingness to

forgive. Ann didn't "get over it"; instead, her wounds festered

and her bitterness grew worse.

Then one day - she never knew how - Ann let go of her bitterness. The barriers

of hostility and anger melted away, and when she saw her friend again, she was

able to forgive. And Ann was finally able to turn to the Lord for her own

healing and forgiveness.

"If you do not forgive," Jesus says - and the statement falls hard on

unforgiving hearts, "Neither will you be forgiven." In one sense, God's

forgiveness is unconditional - we do not have to earn or deserve it, and it is

always available to us. But we cannot experience the forgiveness God has

extended to us when we harbour unforgiveness towards others and build walls

of bitterness in our hearts.

When we refuse forgiveness toward those who have hurt or betrayed us, we do

not keep them in bondage, but ourselves. We lock ourselves away for an

awareness of God's loving presence; we imprison ourselves in a cell of

revenge. But when we reach out to forgive, we turn in the lock;

the door is open for our own sins to be forgiven and our own hearts

cleansed and purified.



Application



a) Why is forgiving others a condition for experiencing forgiveness

in my own life?



b) How can these verses have a practical effect upon my willingness

to forgive others?

Deut 8:18



18 But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are lonely



PSALMS 25:15-21



15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for He will lead my feet from the net.

16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,

for I am isolated and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

18 Look on my pain and misery,

and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,

and they hate me with violent hatred.

20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!

Let me not suffer shame,

for I seek refuge in You.

21 Truth and integrity will preserve me

while I wait for You.



15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;

For he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;

For I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:

O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain;

And forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many;

And they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:

Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;

For I wait on thee.

Proverbs 1



The Purpose and Theme



1 (Pr 10:1; 25:1) The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:

2 To know wisdom and instruction,

to perceive the words of understanding,

3 to receive the instruction of wisdom,

justice, judgment, and equity;

4 (Pr 8:5) to give subtlety to the simple,

to the young man knowledge and discretion -

5 (Pr 9:9) a wise man will hear and will increase learning,

and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

6 (Ps 78:2; 49:4) to understand a proverb and the interpretation,

the words of the wise and their riddles.

7 (Pr 9:10; Job 28:28; Ecc 12:13 ) The fear of the Lord

is the beginning of knowledge,

but fools despise wisdom and instruction.



1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

2 To know wisdom and instruction;

To perceive the words of understanding;

3 To receive the instruction of wisdom,

Justice, and judgment, and equity;

4 To give subtilty to the simple,

To the young man knowledge and discretion.

5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;

And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation;

The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.

7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:

But fools despise wisdom and instruction.



The Prologue: Embrace Wisdom



8 (Pr 6:20) My son, hear the instruction of your father,

and do not forsake the teaching of your mother;

9 (Pr 4:9; Ge 41:42) for they will be a garland of grace on your head,

and chains about your neck.

10 (Eph 5:11; Ps 50:18) My son, if sinners entice you,

do not consent.

11 (Pr 1:18; 12:6) If they say, "Come with us,

let us lie in wait for blood;

let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

12 (Ps 28:1; 124:3) let us swallow them up alive as the grave,

and whole, as those who go down into the pit;

13 we will find all kinds of precious possessions;

we will fill our houses with spoil;

14 cast in your lot among us,

let us all have one purse"

15 (Ps 1:1; 119:101 ) my son, do not walk in the way with them,

keep your foot from their path;

16 (Pr 6:18; Isa 59:7) for their feet run to evil

and make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely in vain the net is spread

in the sight of any bird.

18 They lie in wait for their own blood;

they lurk secretly for their own lives.

19 (Pr 15:27) So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain,

which takes away the life of its owners.



8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father,

And forsake not the law of thy mother:

9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,

And chains about thy neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice thee,

Consent thou not.

11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood,

Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave;

And whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13 We shall find all precious substance,

We shall fill our houses with spoil:

14 Cast in thy lot among us;

Let us all have one purse:

15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them;

Refrain thy foot from their path:

16 For their feet run to evil,

And make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely in vain the net is spread

In the sight of any bird.

18 And they lay wait for their own blood;

They lurk privily for their own lives.

19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;

Which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.



The Call of Wisdom



20 (Pr 9:3; Jn 7:37) Wisdom cries out in the street;

she utters her voice in the markets.

21 She cries at the corner of the streets, in the openings of the gates;

she speaks her words in the city, saying:

22 (Ps 1:1; Pr 1:29) "How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?

For the scorners delight in their scorning,

and fools hate knowledge.

23 (Joel 2:28; Isa 32:15) Turn at my reproof;

surely I will pour out my spirit on you;

I will make my words known to you.

24 (Isa 65:12; 66:4) Because I have called and you refused,

I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded,

25 (Ps 107:11; Pr 1:30) because you neglected all my counsel,

and would have none of my reproof,

26 (Ps 2:4; Pr 10:24) I also will laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when your fear comes,

27 when your fear comes as desolation

and your destruction comes as a whirlwind,

when distress and anguish come upon you.

28 (Job 27:9; Isa 1:15) "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;

they will seek me early, but they will not find me.

29 (Pr 1:22) Because they hated knowledge

and did not choose the fear of the Lord,

30 (Pr 1:25; Ps 81:11) they would have none of my counsel

and despised all my reproof.

31 (Job 4:8; Pr 14:14) Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way,

and be filled with their own devices.

32 (Jer 2:19) For the turning away of the simple will slay them,

and the prosperity of fools will destroy them.

33 (Ps 25:12-13) But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,

and will be secure from fear of evil."



The Cry of Wisdom

20 Wisdom crieth without;

She uttereth her voice in the streets:

21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates:

In the city she uttereth her words, saying,

22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?

And the scorners delight in their scorning,

And fools hate knowledge?

23 Turn you at my reproof:

Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you,

I will make known my words unto you.

24 Because I have called, and ye refused;

I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel,

And would none of my reproof:

26 I also will laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation,

And your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;

When distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer;

They shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29 For that they hated knowledge,

And did not choose the fear of the LORD:

30 They would none of my counsel:

They despised all my reproof.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,

And be filled with their own devices.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them,

An d the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely,

And shall be quiet from fear of evil.



Proverbs 2



The Value of Wisdom



1 (Pr 3:1; 4:1) My son, if you will receive my words,

and hide my commandments within you,

2 so that you incline your ear to wisdom,

and apply your heart to understanding;

3 yes, if you cry out for knowledge,

and lift up your voice for understanding,

4 (Mt 13:44; Job 3:21) if you seek her as silver,

and search for her as for hidden treasures,

5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord,

and find the knowledge of God.

6 (1Ki 3:12; Job 32:8) For the Lord gives wisdom;

out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 (Ps 84:11; Pr 30:5) He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous;

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.

8 (1Sa 2:9; Ps 66:9) He keeps the paths of justice,

and preserves the way of His saints.

9 Then you will understand righteousness and judgment

and equity, and every good path.

10 When wisdom enters your heart,

and knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

11 (Pr 4:6) discretion will preserve you;

understanding will keep you,

12 to deliver you from the way of the evil man,

from the man who speaks perverse things,

13 (Pr 4:19; Jn 3:19-20) from those who leave the paths of uprightness

to walk in the ways of darkness;

14 (Pr 10:23; Jer 11:15) who rejoice to do evil,

and delight in the perversity of the wicked;

15 (Ps 125:5; Pr 21:8) whose ways are crooked,

and who are devious in their paths;

16 (Pr 6:24; 23:27; 7:5-23) to deliver you from the immoral woman,

even from the seductress who flatters with her words,

17 (Jer 3:4) who forsakes the guide of her youth,

and forgets the covenant of her God.

18 For her house leads down to death,

and her paths to the departed spirits;

19 (Ecc 7:26) none who go to her return again,

nor do they take hold of the paths of life.

20 (Heb 6:12) So you may walk in the way of good men

and keep the paths of the righteous.

21 (Ps 37:29; 37:9) For the upright will dwell in the land,

and the innocent will remain in it;

22 (Ps 52:5) but the wicked will be cut off from the earth,

and the transgressors will be rooted out of it.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are lonely



PSALMS 23



A Psalm of David.



1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside still waters.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He restores my soul;

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for His name's sake.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff,

they comfort me.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup runs over.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.



Psalm 23



A Psalm of David.



1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil:

for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Ontario



Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario



Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000



est Muslim Population 1 001 542



CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,

Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor



Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that

the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most

Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching

from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly

resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques

are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools

are starting.

And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their

advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,

the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour

brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of

"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of

receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town

reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.

Agree in prayer for:



- net network leaders - the need is great

- the development of network leadership teams

- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals

whom God is calling into this ministry.

- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising

believers

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .



Conclusion:



Pray to the Lord and pray that romance comes from the Lord.



Pray to the Lord: "Dear God, I've experienced so much help

from You. Please use me to help others."



Pray to the Lord and pray to Him who will save you from your enemies.

Extending God's Care by Karen Huang



2 Kings 5:1-3 , 9-11,13,14



1 (Lk 4:27) Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram,

was a great man before his master and held favor because by him the Lord had

given deliverance to Aram. He was also a mighty warrior, but he had leprosy.

2 (2Ki 6:23; 13:20) The Arameans had gone out raiding and had taken captive

a little girl from the land of Israel, and she waited on the wife of Naaman.

3 She said to her mistress, "If only my lord were before the prophet who is

in Samaria! Then he would take away his leprosy from him."



9 So Naaman came with his horses and chariot and stood at the entrance

to the house of Elisha.

10 (Jn 9:7; Lev 14:7) Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying,

"Go and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be returned

and cleansed."

11 But Naaman became angry and went away and said to himself,

"Surely he could have come out, and stood and called on the name

of the Lord his God, and waved his hand over the infected area,

and taken away the leprosy.



13 (2Ki 6:21; 2:12) But his servants approached and spoke to him,

"My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not

have done it? How much more when he said to you, 'Wash and be clean'?"

14 (Job 33:25; Lk 4:27) So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan

seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh returned

like the flesh of a little boy, and he was clean.





[1] Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man

with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given

deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a

leper.

[2] And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive

out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

[3] And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet

that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.



[9] So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the

door of the house of Elisha.

[10] And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan

seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

[11] But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He

will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his

God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.



[13] And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if

the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done

it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

[14] Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according

to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the

flesh of a little child, and he was clean.



As a teenager, I had a strained relationship with my churchmate Lisa, so I was

dismayed to learn we'd be roommates at our youth summer camp. The week at camp

passed smoothly, though, with both of us being civil.



The most anticipated event was a bonfire gathering at the end of the week. On

that evening, however, I had a fever. I went to bed early, but I could hear

the laughter and music outside. An hour later, I was startled by Lisa, who was

taking my temperature. "I'm not joining them at the bonfire," she said.

"You're sick. I need to stay with you." Lisa could've stayed uninvolved,

but she chose to care for me, which lifted my spirits.



We see another example of someone who cared in the story of Naaman.

The commander of the Syrian army, Naaman had an Israelite servant girl who'd

been taken captive and now "served Naaman's wife" (2 Kings 5:2). Separated

from family and forced to servitude, the girl could’ve chosen to not help her

master, who had leprosy. But her faith moved her to help: "She said to her

mistress, 'If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would

cure him' " (v. 3). And God did, in fact, use the prophet Elisha to heal

Naaman (vv. 8-14).



Lisa and the Israelite girl chose to help, and God worked through them. Let's

ask God to show us who we can extend His care to and give us the wisdom how.



Reflect & Pray



Why might you resist helping others?

How can helping others allow them to see God’s care for them?



Dear God, I've experienced so much help

from You. Please use me to help others.



Learn why we should help our neighbours.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 1 Call to the Lord - 2 Samuel 22:3-4



3 (Ge 15:1; Ps 9:9) the God of my strength, in whom I will trust;

my shield and the horn of my salvation,

my fortress and my sanctuary;

my Savior, You save me from violence.

4 (Ps 48:1; 96:4) I call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy,

and I am saved from my enemies.



3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust:

He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,

My saviour; thou savest me from violence.

4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.



In the old Days of Television Western, we could always tell who the enemy was.

The bad guys wore black hats; the evil villain had a scar across

his cheek or a patch over one eye. But real life is

not quite so simple . Enemies come in many forms, and often are not easy to

recognise. Sin is an enemy; even those we love can seek

to undermine our faith;

modern materialism and distorted values lead us away from biblical principles.

These enemies may not seek our death in a physical sense,

but their influence results in spiritual death or, at the very least,

immaturity.

Yet God promises to rescue us from our enemies. David describes the Lord as a

"rock", a "shield", a "stronghold", and a "refuge". God provides a stable

foundation for our faith; he products us from the attacks of the enemy;

he offers a place of rest in battle.

Our battles are usually not physical ones, but rather spiritual

and emotional wars.

We struggle with difficult relationships, the burdens of the past,

the subtle accusations of the devil.

But these enemies can be overcome. David says,

"I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise" .

When we turn to the Lord, trust his Word, acknowledge his

worthiness, we put our own problems and difficulties in perspective.

We see that God is able to rescue us, and has promised to do so.

And as we respond to his grace by focusing

on him, we abandon trust in ourselves and allow him to do what he promised.



Application



a) What kinds of enemies do I face?



b) How have I tried to deal with those enemies by myself?



c) How can today's verses help me turn to the sources of my rescue?

Exodus 3:7-8



7 (Ps 106:44; Ex 2:23-25)The Lord said,

"I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt

and have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters,

for I know their sorrows.

8 (Ge 50:24; 15:18-21; Ex 13:5) Therefore, I have come down

to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,

and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land,

to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of

the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites,

the Hivites, and the Jebusites."



7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people

which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters;

for I know their sorrows;

8 and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand

of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and

a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the

Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites,

and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

The Woman

10 (Ps 45:11; SS 2:16) I am my beloved's,

and his desire is for me.

11 (SS 4:8) Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields,

and lodge in the villages;

12 (SS 6:11 ) let us go out early to the vineyards,

and see whether the vines have budded,

whether the grape blossoms have opened

and the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give you my love.

13 (Ge 30:14; Mt 13:52 ) The mandrakes give forth fragrance,

and at our doors are all choice fruits,

new as well as old,

which I have laid up for you, my beloved.



10 I am my beloved's,

And his desire is toward me.

11 Come, my beloved,

Let us go forth into the field;

Let us lodge in the villages.

12 Let us get up early to the vineyards;

Let us see if the vine flourish,

Whether the tender grape appear,

And the pomegranates bud forth:

There will I give thee my loves.

13 The mandrakes give a smell,

And at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits,

New and old,

Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.



Songs 8

1 Oh, that you were like a brother to me,

who nursed at my mother's breasts!

If I found you outside,

I would kiss you,

and no one would despise me.

2 (SS 3:4; Pr 9:2) I would lead you and bring you

into the house of my mother,

she who used to instruct me.

I would give you spiced wine to drink,

the juice of my pomegranates.

3 (SS 2:6) His left hand is under my head,

and his right arm embraces me!

4 (SS 2:7; 3:5) I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,

do not stir up or awaken love

until it pleases.



1 O that thou wert as my brother,

That sucked the breasts of my mother!

When I should find thee without, I would kiss thee;

Yea, I should not be despised.

2 I would lead thee,

And bring thee into my mother's house,

Who would instruct me:

I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine

Of the juice of my pomegranate.

3 His left hand should be under my head,

And his right hand should embrace me.

4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,

That ye stir not up, nor awake my love,

Until he please.



Friends of the Woman



5 (SS 3:6; 2:3) Who is that coming up from the wilderness,

leaning upon her beloved?



5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness,

Leaning upon her beloved?



The Woman



Under the apple tree I awakened you.

There your mother was in labor with you;

there she who bore you was in labor.

6 (Isa 49:16; Jer 22:24) Set me as a seal upon your heart,

as a seal upon your arm;

for love is strong as death,

passion fierce as the grave.

Its fires of desire are as ardent flames,

a most intense flame.

7 (Pr 6:35) Many waters cannot quench love,

neither can floods drown it.

If a man offered for love

all the wealth of his house,

it would be utterly condemned.



I raised thee up under the apple tree:

There thy mother brought thee forth:

There she brought thee forth that bare thee.

6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart,

As a seal upon thine arm:

For love is strong as death;

Jealousy is cruel as the grave:

The coals thereof are coals of fire,

Which hath a most vehement flame.

7 Many waters cannot quench love,

Neither can the floods drown it:

If a man would give all the substance of his house for love,

It would utterly be contemned.



Brothers of the Woman



8 We have a little sister,

and she has no breasts.

What will we do for our sister

on the day when she is spoken for?

9 If she is a wall,

we will build upon her a battlement of silver;

but if she is a door,

we will enclose her with boards of cedar.



8 We have a little sister,

And she hath no breasts:

What shall we do for our sister

In the day when she shall be spoken for?

9 If she be a wall,

We will build upon her a palace of silver:

And if she be a door,

We will inclose her with boards of cedar.



The Woman

10 (SS 4:5; Eze 16:7 ) I was a wall,

and my breasts were like towers;

then I was in his eyes

as one who finds peace.

11 (Ecc 2:4; Isa 7:23 ) Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;

he leased the vineyard to keepers;

each man was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.

12 (SS 1:6) My vineyard, my very own, is before me;

you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,

and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.



10 I am a wall,

And my breasts like towers:

Then was I in his eyes

As one that found favour.

11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon;

He let out the vineyard unto keepers;

Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me:

Thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand,

And those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.



The Man



13 (SS 1:7) O you who dwell in the gardens,

my companions listen for your voice;

let me hear it!

The Woman

14 (SS 2:17; 2:9) Make haste, my beloved,

and be like a gazelle or a young stag

on the mountains of spices!



13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens,

The companions hearken to thy voice:

Cause me to hear it.

14 Make haste, my beloved,

And be thou like to a roe

Or to a young hart

Upon the mountains of spices.
