a) Pray that the Church will deepen its commitment to prayer

and never cease to call upon God



(

Is 62:6



6 (Isa 52:8; Ps 74:2) I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,

who shall never hold their peace day nor night.

You who remind the Lord, do not keep silent;

their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.



Ps 55:17

and He will hear my voice.



17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:

And he shall hear my voice.

b) Pray for the province of Manitoba



I) Pray for the leaders of Manitoba, that God's Spirit would influence them

to act justly, serve with integrity and honour high moral standards.

( 1 Tim 2:1 - 4 1 Therefore I exhort first of all that you make supplications,

prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone,

2 (Ezr 6:10) for kings

and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life

in all godliness and honesty,

3 (1Ti 1:1; Lk 1:47) for this is good and

acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

4 (Eze 18:23; 18:32)who desires all men to be saved and to come

to the knowledge of the truth.



1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,

intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 for kings, and for all that are in authority;

that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 who will have all men to be saved,

and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.



II) Pray for the churches of the province, that they would be lighthouses

beaming forth the illuminating truth of God's Word.



III) Pray that the Lord would use the Finding the Hope Campaign

and booklet to turn many hearts to Jesus



Eight) Day 14 - Fruitfulness flows from intimacy, not effort.



Scripture: John 15:1-5



Jesus the True Vine

1 (Isa 5:1-7; 1Co 3:9) "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2 (Mt 3:10; 13:12) Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away.

And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

3 (Jn 13:10; 17:17) You are already clean through the word

which I have spoken to you.

4 (1Jn 2:6; Jn 6:56; Gal 2:20) Remain in Me, as I also remain in you.

As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine,

neither can you, unless you remain in Me.

5 (Php 4:13; Jn 15:16) "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains

in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing.



[1] I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

[2] Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every

branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

[3] Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,

except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,

the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Whenever we leave our homes, we put on layers - like a coat and shoes. We also

put layers over the deeper parts of ourselves - we mask our emotions with

politeness, we cover up the parts of us we don't want the whole world to see.

And then we come home, strip off the extra layers, put away our "going out"

supplies, and settle into home - our safe place. And this is normal! No one

else needs to see my ragged pajamas or crazy bedhead.



We often put these layers of protection between us and God too - we think that

He doesn't need to see us as our most vulnerable selves, before we've put on

our best Christian faces and done something that makes us worthy of His

attention. But we're doing it backwards that way!



I asked the Lord once in my prayer time, "What do you want me to do?"



I heard this: "You already DO; I want you to BE - 'BE still and know that I am

God', BE in My Presence, BE in Me before you DO for me."



Jesus didn't tell us to be fruitful and then come abide in Him. He said,

" Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,

for apart from me you can do nothing."



Abiding comes when we realise we can be our freshly-woken-up, messy,

unproductive selves with Jesus, because He is our safe place. Fruitfulness

doesn't come from trying harder, doing more, or being better - it comes

from being deeply connected with the Vine, Jesus our Saviour who gives us

life.



We can only be filled and empowered for the task of bearing fruit by

first ... just ... BEING with Jesus.

Personal Reflection Questions:



- What parts of yourself are you hiding from God or hoping He doesn't see?



- What do you think would happen if you gave Jesus access to every

part of your life?



- What would it look like for you to BE with God before you DO for Him?



Prayer Points:



- Pray that kids and families would hunger and thirst for Jesus, and that

they would spend intentional time in the Word, growing in faith together.



- Pray for the Kids' Ministry team - for renewal and encouragement for current

leaders and for more leaders to join the team.

Numbers 33

[1] These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out

of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

[2] And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the

commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their

goings out.

[3] And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day

of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel

went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.

[4] For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten

among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

[5] And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.

[6] And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the

edge of the wilderness.

[7] And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto Pi-hahiroth, which is

before Baal-zephon: and they pitched before Migdol.

[8] And they departed from before Pi-hahiroth, and passed through the midst

of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days' journey in the

wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.

[9] And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in Elim were twelve

fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees; and they pitched

there.

[10] And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.

[11] And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the wilderness of

Sin.

[12] And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin, and encamped

in Dophkah.

[13] And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.

[14] And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim, where was no

water for the people to drink.

[15] And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the wilderness of

Sinai.

[16] And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at

Kibroth-hattaavah.

[17] And they departed from Kibroth-hattaavah, and encamped at Hazeroth.

[18] And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.

[19] And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at Rimmon-parez.

[20] And they departed from Rimmon-parez, and pitched in Libnah.

[21] And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.

[22] And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.

[23] And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount Shapher.

[24] And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in Haradah.

[25] And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.

[26] And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.

[27] And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.

[28] And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.

[29] And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.

[30] And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at Moseroth.

[31] And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in Bene-jaakan.

[32] And they removed from Bene-jaakan, and encamped at Hor-hagidgad.

[33] And they went from Hor-hagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.

[34] And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.

[35] And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at Ezion-gaber.

[36] And they removed from Ezion-gaber, and pitched in the wilderness of

Zin, which is Kadesh.

[37] And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in the edge of

the land of Edom.

[38] And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the

LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were

come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

[39] And Aaron was an hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in

mount Hor.

[40] And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in the land of

Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

[41] And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.

[42] And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.

[43] And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.

[44] And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ije-abarim, in the border

of Moab.

[45] And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibon-gad.

[46] And they removed from Dibon-gad, and encamped in Almon-diblathaim.

[47] And they removed from Almon-diblathaim, and pitched in the mountains of

Abarim, before Nebo.

[48] And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the

plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

[49] And they pitched by Jordan, from Beth-jesimoth even unto Abel-shittim

in the plains of Moab.

[50] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near

Jericho, saying,

[51] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are

passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

[52] Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before

you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images,

and quite pluck down all their high places:

[53] And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein:

for I have given you the land to possess it.

[54] And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your

families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the

fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be

in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers

ye shall inherit.

[55] But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before

you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them

shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in

the land wherein ye dwell.

[56] Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought

to do unto them.



2) Our Daily Bread for 8 March 2025 titled

God's Loving Deeds by Anne Cetas



Psalm 107:1-11,41-43



1 Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,

for His mercy endures forever!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Let the redeemed of the Lord speak out,

whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) and gathered them from the lands,

from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) They wandered in the wilderness on a deserted path;

they found no city to dwell in.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Hungry and thirsty,

their soul fainted in them.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

and He delivered them out of their distresses.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He led them on a level road,

that they might go to a city to live in.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Let them praise the Lord for His goodness

and for His wonderful works to the people!

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For He satisfies the longing soul

and fills the hungry soul with goodness.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Some sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

being prisoners in affliction and irons,

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) because they rebelled against the words of God

and rejected the counsel of the Most High.

41 yet He raises up the poor from affliction

and cares for their families like flocks of sheep.

42 The righteous shall see it and rejoice,

and all evil people shall stop their mouth.

43 Whoever is wise let him observe these things;

let them consider the lovingkindness of the Lord



[1] O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for

ever.

[2] Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the

hand of the enemy;

[3] And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west,

from the north, and from the south.

[4] They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no

city to dwell in.

[5] Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

[6] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them

out of their distresses.

[7] And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of

habitation.

[8] Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his

wonderful works to the children of men!

[9] For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with

goodness.

[10] Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in

affliction and iron;

[11] Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the

counsel of the most High:

[41] Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him

families like a flock.

[42] The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop

her mouth.

[43] Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall

understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.



They sit side by side on Ball Street in my city - the Grand Ideas Garden and

the county jail. My friend Joann loved both places. She loved to sit in the

garden, thinking about the goodness of God and her love for Him because of

what He'd done in her life. She also loved to share with the women in the jail

and tell her story of God redeeming her life after many bad choices and

wandering far from Him. Often, she would tell me of her passion: her dream

that all the women there would someday understand and experience the love

of God for them personally.



The psalmist told his fellow Israelites to "tell their story" of how God

redeemed them from their enemies (Psalm 107:2). They had "wandered in desert

wastelands," "they were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away"

(vv. 4-5). At times they rebelled against God, and He disciplined them

(vv. 10-12). Yet every time "they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

. . . he delivered them from their distress" (v. 6). They had much to give

God thanks for and to talk about with others. As the Israelites learned, and

we can learn also, He has a love that will never let us go.



We too can take opportunities to "ponder the loving deeds of the Lord" toward

us (v. 43), give thanks to Him, and tell our own story of His rescue.



Reflect & Pray



What has God done for you to transform your life?

Who can you share your story with?



You are so good, and what You’ve done for me

is worth telling others about, dear God. Please give me

the words and open my mouth to speak about You.



Look at what Scripture

says about witnessing to others.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 1 - Sin Universal



Romans 3:23-24



23 (Ro 3:9) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

24 (Ro 4:16; Col 1:14) being justified freely by His grace

through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,



23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption

that is in Christ Jesus:



A distinguished middle-aged man stood trembling before his church

to give his testimony. Years before, in the grip of a mental illness

that nearly destroyed his life, he had taken the life of his own daughter

and tried to kill himself. But he did not die; tried and convicted, he

spent years in prison, and even longer in the prison of his own guilt.

After the service, a young woman walked up to him and simply said,

"Thank you for sharing. I've sinned, too."

We've all sinned, too - lest we forget or rationalise, the Bible reminds

us in no uncertain terms. And the writer of these verses was no stranger

to sin: he was the Pharisee, the holier-than-thou religious leader

who officiated at the stoning death of Stephen. He was the Jew who had

scattered and killed the followers of this heretic called Christ. He

thought he was righteous while he murdered God's people.

Christians tends to establish a "hierarchy" of sin - sexual sin is "worse"

than pride: murder is "more horrible" than slander. Yet the Bible gives

no indication that god acknowledges our hierarchy. Sin is sin; all have

sinned, and if we are guilty at one point, we are guilty of all.

Rather than rationalise our individual sins as being "less bad"

than someone else's, we need to openly confess our dilemma as sinners

and turn to God for his remedy. We cannot and do not need to earn or

deserve that grace - it is a gift from God.



Application



a) Have I ever compared my sin with someone else's in order

to make myself fell like a better person? Why is such

comparison not a valid remedy for sin?



b) Why do I need to acknowledge my sin honestly before I can

receive justification?





4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 8:18



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

the ability to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant which

He swore to your fathers, as it is today.



18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee

power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto

thy fathers, as it is this day.



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.



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 2021 edition?)



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

Pray for Uzbekistan



When Ruslan came to faith, he was the first believer in his remote

area. He persevered through so many trials. He was beaten by his father

and brother and left for dead, he was arrested and beaten by the police

and he was stoned when he attempted to attend the funeral of a friend.



Thankfully, however, despite all these events, he saw many Uzbeks come

to faith and several house churches established!



Ruslan's area has very little water and the water that does exist is of

poor quality. Ruslan's wife Imona developed kidney problems as a result

and lost two children during pregnancy. The doctors said she would

never be able to have children. Even his neighbors took this as a bad

omen and commented, "See, that's what happens when you become a

Christian."



Meanwhile, a Christian organisation working in the region saw the need

for clean water in the area of Ruslan's village and decided to help

drill a well. They had to drill very deep, until they hit an

underground river. Now, not only does Ruslan's village have

high-quality drinking water, but the church also makes regular water

deliveries by truck to neighboring villages.



Ruslan invited the police chief, the imam, and all the people who had

persecuted him to the opening ceremony and honored God for his

blessings. Not only do they have clean water, now, but Imona has now

given birth to two beautiful, healthy children.





How to Pray



Pray that Ruslan and his family may find comfort and strength in

their faith.

Pray for more Uzbeks to hear the good news of Jesus in their own

language and dialect.

Cry out for living water to be poured onto thirsty Uzbek hearts by

the Holy Spirit!

Pray that new promises from the government allowing the

registration of churches would be fulfilled.



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, ...) .

Numbers 32

[1] Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great

multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of

Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;

[2] The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto

Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation,

saying,

[3] Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and

Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

[4] Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel,

is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

[5] Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land

be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.

[6] And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben,

Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

[7] And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from

going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

[8] Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the

land.

[9] For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they

discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go

into the land which the LORD had given them.

[10] And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,

[11] Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old

and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and

unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

[12] Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of

Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

[13] And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them

wander in the wilderness fourty years, until all the generation, that had

done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

[14] And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of

sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

[15] For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the

wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.

[16] And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here

for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

[17] But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel,

until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell

in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

[18] We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have

inherited every man his inheritance.

[19] For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward;

because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.

[20] And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed

before the LORD to war,

[21] And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath

driven out his enemies from before him,

[22] And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall

return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land

shall be your possession before the LORD.

[23] But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and

be sure your sin will find you out.

[24] Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do

that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

[25] And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses,

saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

[26] Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be

there in the cities of Gilead:

[27] But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the

LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

[28] So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the

son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

[29] And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of

Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the

LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the

land of Gilead for a possession:

[30] But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have

possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

[31] And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As

the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

[32] We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that

the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.

[33] And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the

children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph,

the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of

Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of

the country round about.

[34] And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

[35] And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

[36] And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.

[37] And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

[38] And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and

gave other names unto the cities which they builded.

[39] And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took

it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.

[40] And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt

therein.

[41] And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and

called them Havoth-jair.

[42] And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it

Nobah, after his own name.

Instructions for Conquering Canaan

50 The Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho,

saying:

51 (Jos 3:17; Dt 9:1) Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:

When you are crossing over Jordan into the land of Canaan,

52 (Ex 23:24; Lev 26:1) then you will drive out all the inhabitants

of the land from before you, and destroy all their carved images,

and destroy all their molded images, and destroy all their high places,

53 and you will drive out the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it,

because I have given you the land to inherit it.

54 (Nu 26:53-56) You will possess the land by lot for an inheritance

among your families, and to the larger you will give the larger inheritance,

and to the smaller you will give the smaller inheritance. Every man's

inheritance will be in the place where his lot falls. By the tribes of your

fathers you will inherit.

55 (Jdg 2:3) But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from

before you, then those whom you let remain will be like thorns in your

eyes and thorns in your sides. They will show hostility to you in the land

in which you live.

56 (Dt 28:63) And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you.

, PAstor Barry Regier spoke on Living Counter-Cultural,

Godly Submission to Governing Authorities



1 Peter 2:11-17



Live as Servants of God



11 (Jas 4:1; Lev 25:23) Dearly beloved, I implore you as aliens and refugees,

abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.

12 (Mt 5:16; 1Pe 3:16) Live your lives honorably among the Gentiles, so that

though they speak against you as evildoers, they shall see your good works

and thereby glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 (Titus 3:1) Submit yourselves to every human authority for the Lord's sake,

whether it be to the king, as supreme,

14 (Ro 13:3-4) or to governors, as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers

and to praise those who do right.

15 (1Pe 2:12) For it is the will of God that by doing right you may put to

silence the ignorance of foolish men.

16 (Ro 6:22; 1Co 7:22) As free people, do not use your liberty as a covering

for evil, but live as servants of God.

17 (Ro 13:7; Pr 24:21; Ro 12:10) Honor all people. Love the brotherhood.

Fear God. Honor the king.



[11] Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from

fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

[12] Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they

speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they

shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

[13] Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake:

whether it be to the king, as supreme;

[14] Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment

of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

[15] For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence

the ignorance of foolish men:

[16] As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but

as the servants of God.

[17] Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.



A) For the Lord's Sake

1 Peter 2:13



13 (Titus 3:1) Submit yourselves to every human authority for the Lord's sake,

whether it be to the king, as supreme,

whether it be to the king, as supreme;



Romans 13:1-2



Romans 13



Subjection to Authorities



1 (Da 2:21; Jn 19:11) Let every person be subject to the governing

authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that

exist are appointed by God.

2 Therefore ­whoever resists the authority resists what God has appointed,

and those who resist will incur judgment.



[1] Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power

but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

[2] Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God:

and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.



B) Our public witness reflects our King



1 Peter 2:15



15 (1Pe 2:12) For it is the will of God that by doing right you may put to

silence the ignorance of foolish men.



[15] For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence

the ignorance of foolish men:



1 Peter 2:14



14 (Ro 13:3-4) or to governors, as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers

and to praise those who do right.



[14] Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment

of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.



C) Respect is a choices

NUMBERS 32



The Tribes Settling in Gilead



1 (Nu 21:32; 32:3) Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad

had a very great number of livestock, and when they saw the land of Jazer

and the land of Gilead was a place for livestock,

2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses,

and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the assembly, saying,

3 (Nu 32:34-38; Jos 13:17) "Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah,

and Hesh-bon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 (Nu 21:34; 21:24) the land which the Lord defeated before

the assembly of Israel is a land for livestock,

and your servants have livestock."

5 And they said, "If we have found mercy in your sight, let this land

be given to your servants for a possession,

and do not take us over the Jordan."

6 Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben,

"Will your brothers go to war, and you will dwell here?

7 And why would you discourage the hearts of the children of Israel

from going over into the land which the Lord has given to them?

8 Thus your fathers did, when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.

9 When they went up to the Valley of Eshkol and saw the land,

they discouraged the hearts of the children of Israel so they would not go

into the land which the Lord had given them.

10 (Nu 14:11) And the anger of the Lord was inflamed on that day,

and He swore, saying,

11 (Nu 14:28-30) 'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt,

from twenty years old and older, will see the ground which I swore

to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they did not completely

follow Me,

12 (Dt 1:36; Nu 14:24) except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite,

and Joshua the son of Nun, because they completely followed the Lord.'

13 (Nu 14:33-35) The anger of the Lord was inflamed against Israel,

and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years,

until all the generation that did evil in the eyes of the Lord was finished.

14 "Behold, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful

men, to increase more the burning anger of the Lord toward Israel.

15 (2Ch 15:2) If you turn away from following Him, He will again abandon

them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all this people."

16 They approached him and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for

our livestock and cities for our children.

17 (Jos 4:12-13) But we ourselves will be armed, ready

before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place.

Our little ones will dwell in the fortified cities

because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 We will not return to our houses until all the children of Israel

have inherited their inheritance.

19 (Jos 13:8) We will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan

or beyond, because our inheritance

fell to us on this side of the Jordan to the east."

20 (Jos 4:12-13) Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will

be armed before the Lord for war,

21 and all of you, each armed, will go over the Jordan before the Lord

until He has driven out His enemies from before Him

22 (Jos 22:9; Dt 3:20) and the land is subdued before the Lord, then after

that you will return and be exempt before the Lord and before Israel,

and this land will be your possession before the Lord.

23 (Ge 44:16; Isa 59:12) "But if you will not do so, you have sinned

against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.

24 (Nu 32:16) Build for yourselves cities for your children

and folds for your sheep, and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."

25 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying,

"Your servants will do as my lord commands.

26 (Jos 1:14) Our children, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock

will be there in the cities of Gilead,

27 (Jos 4:12) but your servants will cross over, each man armed for war,

before the Lord to battle, as my lord says."

28 (Jos 1:13) So Moses commanded Eleazar the priest,

and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes

of the children of Israel.

29 And Moses said to them, "If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben

will cross over the Jordan with you, each man armed for battle

before the Lord, and the land will be subdued before you, you are

to give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

30 But if they do not cross over with you armed, they will have possessions

among you in the land of Canaan."

31 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying,

"As the Lord has said to your servants, so we will do.

32 We will cross over, armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan,

so the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan may be ours."

33 (Jos 12:6; Dt 3:12-17) Moses gave to the children of Gad,

to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh

the son of Joseph,

the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites

and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with the cities

within the borders, the cities of the surrounding land.

34 (Dt 2:36; Nu 32:3) The children of Gad built Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer,

35 (Nu 32:1; 32:3) Atroth Shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah,

36 (Nu 32:3) Beth Nimrah and Beth Haran, fortified cities,

and folds for sheep.

37 (Nu 21:27; 32:3) And the children of Reuben built Heshbon

and Elealeh and Kiriathaim,

38 (Nu 32:3; Isa 46:1) Nebo and Baal Meon (their names being changed)

and Sibmah; and they named the other cities which they built.

39 (Ge 50:23) The children of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead

and captured it and drove out the Amorites who were in it.

40 (Jos 17:1) Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh,

and he lived in it.

41 (Dt 3:14; Jdg 10:4) Jair the son of Manasseh went

and captured its small towns and called them Havvoth Jair.

42 Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages

and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Eight) Day 13 - New season, crucified self, resurrected life.



Scripture: Galatians 2:20



20 (Ro 8:37; Gal 1:4) I have been crucified with Christ.

It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.

And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God,

Or by the faith of the Son of God. who loved me and gave Himself for me.



[20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ

liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith

of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.



---



I have a friend who chants to himself, "die to self, die to self," when he is

doing something that he does not want to do for his wife. This is a humourous

thing, but it is a true statement that Jesus calls us to in Luke 9:23: we are

to deny ourselves, give up our own ways, pick up the cross, and follow Him.



This is dying to our old self, not just in changing our actions, but dying to

our old identity. The context of Galatians 2:20 concerns the law and our

inability to fulfill it and be right with God by our own actions. Our identity

is not based on our efforts to do good; it is based on Jesus Christ.

It is trusting Christ to live through you.



Dying to ourselves is relinquishing control of our lives to Christ. It is

accepting God's will over our personal preference, and accepting death to

anything that is not aligned with God. This shift takes away our

self-centeredness and our former self, who was dominated by sin,

is now put to death.



Our new life is now lived by faith in Christ's love and sacrifice,

not by self-directed ambition.



This new identity in Christ can be further studied:



2 Corinthians 5:17,



17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,

he is a new creature. Old things have passed away. Look, all things have

become new.



[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are

passed away; behold, all things are become new.



John 1:12,



12 Yet to all who received Him, He gave the power to become sons of God,

to those who believed in His name,



[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the

sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:



Romans 8:15–16,



15 (Mk 14:36; 1Co 2:12) For you have not received the spirit of slavery

again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom

we cry, “Abba, Father.”

16 (Eph 1:13; 2Co 1:22) The Spirit Himself bears witness

with our spirits that we are the children of God,



[15] For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye

have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

[16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the

children of God:



2 Corinthians 5:21,



21 (Ro 1:17; 1Co 1:30) God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we

might become the righteousness of God in Him.



[21] For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might

be made the righteousness of God in him.



Romans 8:1,



1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation for those

who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according

to the Spirit.



[1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ

Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.



1 Peter 2:9,



9 (Dt 7:6; 10:15) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy

nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may declare the

goodness of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.



[9] But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a

peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath

called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:



Ephesians 2:10,



10 (Eph 4:24; 2Co 5:17; Eph 1:4) For we are His workmanship, created

in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand,

so that we should walk in them.



[10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,

which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.



Galatians 2:20,



20 (Ro 8:37; Gal 1:4) I have been crucified with Christ.

It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.

And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God,

Or by the faith of the Son of God. who loved me and gave Himself for me.



[20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ

liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith

of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.



Ephesians 2:6,



6 (Eph 1:3) and He raised us up and seated us together in the heavenly places

in Christ Jesus,



[6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly

places in Christ Jesus:



Romans 8:37.



37 (1Co 15:57; Gal 2:20) No, in all these things we are more than

conquerors through Him who loved us.



[37] Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that

loved us.

Personal Reflection Questions:



- Where in my life am I still holding onto control or personal preference

instead of trusting Christ to live through me?



- In this season, what part of my "old identity" (pride, approval-seeking,

fear, selfish ambition, comfort) is Jesus inviting me to surrender so

I can live more fully by faith in Him?



Prayer Points:



- Pray into the leading of the Holy Spirit in the new season at Calvary Youth.



- Pray for the team of volunteers and staff who are pastoring the students at

Calvary Youth, giving them strength, wisdom, energy, and endurance

to finish the year well!

Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

Pray for Bangladesh



Five years ago, Rupal and his brother moved to Dhaka, the capital of

Bangladesh, in order to find work. They found an affordable place to

live, with five other men in a small apartment. Rupal thought that one

roommate was different, perhaps because he came from another region.



Aarav ("peaceful") was a peaceful person who never spoke badly about

anyone. But eventually Rupal discovered that this man was reading the

Injil (New Testament) regularly. Rupal tried to talk Aarav out of

reading this book. But Aarav told him that it was different than other

books.



"The Injil changes you!" Aarav said. "When you read it, it seems like a

person talking to you that knows you well."



Rupal wanted to read he Injjil himself, and Aarav allowed him to borrow

his copy. Quickly, Rupal found himself reading it more and more . And

Aarav was proved right. The Injil did seem to change Rupal.



In Matthew 5-7 he found the most beautiful things he had ever heard.

This was the true way! Jesus taught with authority, not like other

teachers. He showed the straight path to God, forgiving enemies and

obeying God, not people.



Rupal decided that he needed Jesus. Some time later, Rupal's brother

started to follow Jesus, too. Now they are seven men following Jesus

and reading together. They love each other and people around them. And,

as they reach out to Bengali people, they show them that the Injil has

not been changed, but that it is the wonderful book that changes you!



How to Pray



Pray for Aarav, Rupal and others, to experience God's wisdom, power

and protection.

Cry out in faith for the more than 135 million Bengali people who

are among the least reached peoples worldwide.

* Pray that the many Bible study groups among the Bengali would

develop into churches glorifying Jesus.



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, ...) .

Romans 12:4-8



4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,

and not all parts have the same function,

5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and all are parts of one another.

6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that

is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

7 (Ac 13:1; Eph 4:11)if service, in serving; he who teaches, in teaching;

8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with

generosity; he who rules, with diligence;

he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.



4 For as we have many members in one body,

and all members have not the same office:

5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and every one members one of another.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that

is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according

to the proportion of faith;

7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 7 - The Cost of Wisdom



Proverbs 4:4,7



Proverbs 4



4 (Pr 7:2; Eph 6:4) He also taught me and said to me,

"Let your heart retain my words; keep my commandments, and live.

7 (Mt 13:44-46) Wisdom is principal; therefore get wisdom.

And with all your getting, get understanding. "



4 He taught me also, and said unto me,

Let thine heart retain my words:

Keep my commandments, and live.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:

And with all thy getting get understanding.



Establishing priorities is a popular topic of conversation in our

generation. We carry appointment calendars and attend goal-setting

strategy seminars. We let machines answer our telephones so that

we won't miss any important messages, or so that we can screen calls

before we answer them. We order our lives so that we can "get ahead".

"Getting ahead" in God's kingdom, however, involves other priorities

than the ones we may set for ourselves. "Wisdom is supreme," the

principal thing, says Proverbs 4:7, "Get wisdom. Though it cost

all you have, get understanding."

Wisdom is defined as "an understanding of what is true, right, or lasting."

Biblical wisdom is not merely the accumulation of facts about God and his

teaching, but the application of those truths of life, taking on

the character of God as we mature in the image of Christ.

Such wisdom may, indeed, come at great cost. Jesus calls us to "lay

down our lives" to follow him - perhaps not literally to die, but to die

to self-centered priorities, to allow the Holy Spirit to establish

his value system in us.

"Keep my commandments and you will live," Proverbs 4:4 says. Real life -

rich, fulfilling, significant, abundant life - comes only through union

with God. The success offered by the world, the acclaim of others, material

prosperity and convenience cannot satisfy us once we have tasted

the joy of life with God in Christ.



Application



a) What does "getting wisdom" means to me?



b) What practical changes can I make in my life to help me focus

my attention on the priorities and values of the Lord?

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.

Numbers 31





Dividing the Plunder



25 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

26 "Take the count of the plunder that was taken, of man and of beast,

you and Eleazar the priest, and the chief of the fathers of the assembly.

27 (Jos 22:8) And divide the prey into two parts between those that took

the war on themselves, who went out to battle, and between all the assembly.

28 (Nu 18:26; 31:30) And levy a tribute to the Lord

from the fighting men of Israel who went out to battle:

1 person out of 500, of the people and of the oxen, and of the donkeys,

and of the sheep;

29 take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest

as an offering to the Lord.

30 (Nu 3:7-8; 3:25) Of the half of the children of Israel, you will take

one portion of fifty, of the people, of the oxen, of the donkeys,

and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites,

who keep the guard of the tabernacle of the Lord."

31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

32 The plunder, being the rest of the prey, which the fighting men of Israel

had caught, was 675000 sheep,

33 72000 oxen,

34 and 61000 donkeys,

35 and 32 000 people in all, of women

who had not known a man by lying with him.

36 The half, which was the portion of those that went out to war,

was 337500 sheep.

37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was 675.

38 The oxen were 36000, of which the Lord's tribute was 72.

39 The donkeys were 30500, of which the Lord's tribute was 61.

40 The people were 16000, of which the Lord's tribute was 32 people.

41 (Nu 18:8; 18:19) Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord's offering

to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

42 Of the half of the children of Israel,

which Moses divided from the men who fought,

43 the half belonging to the assembly was 337500 sheep,

44 36000 oxen,

45 53500 donkeys,

46 and 16000 people.

47 (Nu 31:30) From the half of the children of Israel Moses took one out

of fifty, of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept

the guard of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

48 The officers who were over thousands of the army,

the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds,

came near to Moses,

49 and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken

the count of the fighting men of Israel who are in our hand,

and not a man of us is missing.

50 (Ex 30:12; 30:15-16) We have brought an offering for the Lord,

what every man has gotten of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets,

rings, earrings, and pendants, to make an atonement for ourselves

before the Lord."

51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them,

all in the form of fashioned articles.

52 All the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord,

of the captains of thousands and of the captains of hundreds,

was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

(About 420 pounds, or 190 kilograms. )

53 (Dt 20:14) The fighting men of Israel had taken plunder,

each man for himself.

54 (Ex 30:16) And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains

of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting

as a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.



[25] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[26] Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast,

thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

[27] And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon

them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

[28] And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to

battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves,

and of the asses, and of the sheep:

[29] Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an

heave offering of the LORD.

[30] And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of

fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of

all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge

of the tabernacle of the LORD.

[31] And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

[32] And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had

caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand

sheep,

[33] And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

[34] And threescore and one thousand asses,

[35] And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman that had not known

man by lying with him.

[36] And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was

in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five

hundred sheep:

[37] And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and

fifteen.

[38] And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's

tribute was threescore and twelve.

[39] And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the

LORD's tribute was threescore and one.

[40] And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was

thirty and two persons.

[41] And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto

Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

[42] And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men

that warred,

[43] (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred

thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

[44] And thirty and six thousand beeves,

[45] And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

[46] And sixteen thousand persons;)

[47] Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty,

both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the

charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[48] And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of

thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

[49] And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of

war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

[50] We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath

gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and

tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

[51] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all

wrought jewels.

[52] And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of

the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen

thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

[53] (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

[54] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of

thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the

congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

Ephesians 4:1-7



Unity of the Body



1 (Eph 3:1; Col 1:10) I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, exhort you to

walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you were called.

2 (Col 3:12-13; Ac 20:19) With all humility, meekness, and patience,

bearing with one another in love,

3 be eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 (Eph 1:18; 2:16) There is one body and one Spirit, even as you were called

in one hope of your calling,

5 (1Co 8:6; Mt 28:19) one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 (Ro 11:36; 1Co 12:6) one God and Father of all, who is above all,

and through all, and in you all.

7 (Ro 12:3; Eph 3:2) But grace was given to each one of us according

to the measure of the gift of Christ.



[1] I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy

of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

[2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one

another in love;

[3] Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

[4] There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of

your calling;

[5] One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

[6] One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you

all.

[7] But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the

gift of Christ.



In January 1967, the town of Winneconne discovered it had been mistakenly

omitted from the official Wisconsin state road map, costing the town vital

tourist revenue. So the town decided to secede from Wisconsin and become its

own sovereign state on July 21 of that year. Some say the secession was a

move to embarrass the state government, while others claim it was

a tongue-in-cheek act of humour. In any case, months of negotiations resulted

in state and town coming together again on July 22, 1967.



Most division isn't as good-natured or as easily resolved. Division is such a

threat that the book of Proverbs lists "the person who stirs up conflict"

(6:19) as one of seven things "that are detestable to [God]" (v. 16).



Division may not only cause problems but misrepresents Jesus and His Father.

The night before the cross, Christ prayed that His followers would be one in

Him, "that the world may believe that you have sent me" (John 17:21).



Jesus made it clear that our unity as brothers and sisters in Christ (or lack

of it) impacts the world's belief in Him! Perhaps that's why Paul told the

Ephesians, "Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the

bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:3). May we allow the Spirit of Christ to make us

one-that the world may be drawn to Him.



Reflect & Pray



What are some of the things that can divide you from other believers?

How can those potential points of conflict be resolved,

so that the body of Christ might know and display unity?



Dear Father, please give me a heart for my brothers and sisters in Christ.

NUMBERS 30



The Law About Vows



1 (Nu 7:2) And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children

of Israel, saying: This is the thing that the Lord has commanded.

2 (Job 22:27; Ps 22:25) If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears

an oath to bind himself with a bond, he will not break his word.

He will do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

3 If a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by a bond,

while in her father's house in her youth,

4 and her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound

herself, and her father is silent to her, then all her vows will stand,

and every bond with which she has bound herself will stand.

5 But if her father restrains her in the day he hears, none of her vows

or her bonds with which she has bound herself will stand,

and the Lord will forgive her, because her father restrained her.

6 (Ps 56:12) If she had a husband when she vowed, or uttered anything

out of her lips with which she bound herself,

7 and her husband heard it and was silent to her in the day that he heard it,

then her vows will stand, and her bonds with which she bound herself will stand.

8 (Ge 3:16) But if her husband restrains her on the day that he heard it,

then he will make her vow which she vowed and that which she uttered

with her lips, with which she bound herself, of no effect,

and the Lord will forgive her.

9 But every vow of a widow and of her that is divorced,

with which she has bound herself, will stand against her.

10 If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound herself by a bond

with an oath,

11 and her husband heard it and was silent to her and did not restrain her,

then all her vows will stand, and every bond with

which she bound herself will stand.

12 (Nu 30:8) But if her husband has clearly voided them on the day

he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows,

or concerning the bond of herself, will not stand. Her husband

has voided them, and the Lord will forgive her.

13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul,

her husband may establish, or her husband may nullify.

14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day,

then he confirms all her vows, or all her pledges, which bind her.

He confirms them because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard them.

15 (Lev 5:1) But if he clearly makes them void after he has heard them,

then he will bear her iniquity.

16 These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses,

between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter,

while she is still young and in her father's house.



Numbers 30

[1] And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of

Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.

[2] If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with

a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that

proceedeth out of his mouth.

[3] If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond,

being in her father's house in her youth;

[4] And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her

soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall

stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

[5] But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of

her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand:

and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

[6] And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out

of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

[7] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he

heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her

soul shall stand.

[8] But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he

shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her

lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall

forgive her.

[9] But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they

have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

[10] And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond

with an oath;

[11] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her

not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her

soul shall stand.

[12] But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard

them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or

concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them

void; and the LORD shall forgive her.

[13] Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may

establish it, or her husband may make it void.

[14] But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day;

then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he

confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard

them.

[15] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them;

then he shall bear her iniquity.

[16] These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man

and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in

her father's house.



NUMBERS 31



Vengeance on the Midianites



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 (Nu 27:13) "Avenge the children of Israel on the Midianites.

Afterward you will be gathered to your people."

3 (Lev 26:25) Moses spoke to the people, saying,

"Arm some of your men for war, and let them go against the Midianites

to give the vengeance of the Lord against Midian.

4 A thousand from each tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel,

you will send to the war."

5 So there were delivered from the thousands of Israel

1000 of each tribe, 12000 armed for war.

6 (Nu 14:44; 10:8-9) Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe,

with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy vessels

and the trumpets to sound the alarm in his hand.

7 (Jdg 21:11; 1Ki 11:15-16) They waged war against the Midianites,

as the Lord commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

8 (Nu 25:15; Jos 13:21-22) They killed the kings of Midian,

in addition to the rest of those who were killed:

Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba,

five kings of Midian. Balaam the son of Beor they also killed with the sword.

9 The children of Israel returned with the women of Midian and their children

and took their livestock, and all their flocks,

and all their wealth for plunder.

10 They burned with fire all their cities in which

they lived and all their camps.

11 (Dt 20:14; Jos 8:2) They took all the plunder and all the prey

of men and of beasts.

12 (Nu 22:1) They brought the captives, the prey, and the plunder to Moses,

to Eleazar the priest, to the assembly of the children of Israel,

and to the camp on the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan across from Jericho.

13 Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the assembly went

to meet them outside the camp.

14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, with the captains

over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.

15 (1Sa 15:3) Moses said to them, "Have you saved all the women alive?

16 (2Pe 2:15; Rev 2:14) These caused the children of Israel, through

the word of Balaam, to act unfaithfully against the Lord concerning

the thing of Peor, and there was a plague among the assembly of the Lord.

17 (Jdg 21:11-12) So now kill every male among the little ones,

and kill every woman who has known a man by lying with him.

18 (Dt 21:10-14) But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls

who have not known a man by lying with him.

19 (Nu 5:2; 19:11-22) "And you stay outside the camp seven days.

Whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain,

purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day

and on the seventh day.

20 Purify all your clothes, and all that is made of skins,

and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood."

21 Eleazar the priest said to the fighting men of Israel who went

to the battle, "This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord

commanded Moses:

22 Only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin,

and the lead,

23 (Nu 19:9; 19:17) everything that can go through the fire,

you will make it go through the fire, and it will be clean,

but some of it will be purified with the water of purification,

and all that cannot pass through the fire you will make go through the water.

24 (Lev 11:25) You will wash your clothes on the seventh day,

and you will be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp."



[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be

gathered unto thy people.

[3] And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the

war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.

[4] Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye

send to the war.

[5] So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of

every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

[6] And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and

Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy

instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

[7] And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and

they slew all the males.

[8] And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were

slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of

Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

[9] And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and

their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their

flocks, and all their goods.

[10] And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their

goodly castles, with fire.

[11] And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of

beasts.

[12] And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses,

and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel,

unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

[13] And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the

congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

[14] And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains

over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

[15] And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

[16] Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of

Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there

was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

[17] Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every

woman that hath known man by lying with him.

[18] But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with

him, keep alive for yourselves.

[19] And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any

person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and

your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

[20] And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all

work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

[21] And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the

battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;

[22] Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the

lead,

[23] Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the

fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the

water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go

through the water.

[24] And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be

clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

Eight) Day 12 - Fasting clarifies what must be removed to receive what's next.



Scripture: Colossians 3:9-10 NLT



9 (Eph 4:22; 4:25) Do not lie one to another, since you have put off

the old nature with its deeds,

10 (Eph 2:10; 4:23-24; Ro 12:2) and have embraced the new nature,

which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him who created it,



[9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his

deeds;

[10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the

image of him that created him:



---



Spiritual growth doesn't drift toward renewal—it moves there by decision.



Paul's words are direct because the moment demands it: put off and put on.

This is not about trying harder; it’s about choosing differently. The old self

still shows up - not because it belongs, but because it's familiar. And what's

familiar can quietly shape what's next if it's not intentionally surrendered.



This is where fasting helps. Fasting removes the noise. It reveals what's

driving us beneath the surface - old desires, reactions, or identities that no

longer align with who Christ is forming us to be. Fasting doesn't make us

weak; it makes us honest. And honesty is the starting point of renewal.



The new self isn't something you create - it's someone you receive. Paul says

it is being renewed in the image of the Creator. That means God is reshaping

identity, not just behavior. He's realigning desire, not just discipline.

He's redirecting our lives, not just our schedules.



Here’s the tension: you can't put on the new while still clinging to the old.

Renewal requires release. But when you let go, something better fits. Over

time, what once felt unnatural - obedience, humility, trust - becomes your

default.



Fasting creates the margin where this exchange happens. What God reveals, He

intends to renew. What He asks you to remove, He replaces with something more

life-giving.



---



Reflective Questions:



A. What has fasting revealed about the old patterns or identities I'm still

wearing that no longer align with who God says I am?



B. Where is God inviting me to intentionally put on the new – reshaping my

desires, decisions, or direction in this season?

Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.

Pray for Somalia





Yasin has been a Christian for several years and has paid a high price

for it. Somalia is 99% Sunni Muslim and conversion from Islam is

illegal. Yasin did not publicise his faith, but he did share his belief

in Jesus on TikTok. This became public knowledge, and his voice was

recognised by his family. He was subsequently imprisoned, banned from

seeing his wife and children, and his taxi was confiscated.



In Somalia, the pressure comes primarily from family and clan. This was

also the case for Yasin. His family wanted him to come back to Islam.

But when Yasin refused, his father banished him from the family. Still,

Yasin remains strong in his faith. A brother in the diaspora holds

online Bible studies, and Yasin faithfully participates. This connects

him to God's worldwide church.



Yasin has a hunger for the Word of God. He still cannot keep his mouth

shut and continues to witness. Witnessing in Somalia usually doesn't

involve direct evangelism as that would immediately put lives in

danger. It's more often a matter of carefully sharing Jesus' teachings,

speaking from a place of love and forgiveness, and expressing hope.

It's a matter of carefully sharing a God you know, see, and love.



God is at work in Somalia. Much is being shared about the Christian

faith, especially online, and people are coming to faith. But all these

people face the same challenges as brother Yasin. Discovery means

exclusion from your family and clan (or worse). From that moment on,

your life is filled with uncertainty and danger.





How to Pray



Pray for Yasin's safety and livelihood and especially for his faith

and continued courage to show Jesus.

Intercede for Somali believers who are active online, that they may

share the Good News in truth.

* Praise God for the openness that exists among the Somali people in

Somalia and around the world.



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, ...) .

Deuteronomy 6:10-19



10 (Jos 24:13; Ps 105:44) Then it shall be when the Lord your God

brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham,

Isaac, and Jacob, to give you great and fine cities,

which you did not build,

11 and houses full of all good things which you did not fill,

and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards

and olive trees which you did not plant, and you eat and are full,

12 then beware lest you forget the Lord who brought you

out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 (Dt 10:20; Mt 4:10) You shall fear the Lord your God

and serve Him and shall swear by His name.

14 (Jer 25:6; Dt 8:19) You shall not go after other gods,

the gods of the people which surround you

15 (Dt 4:24; Ex 20:5) (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you).

Otherwise the anger of the Lord your God will be inflamed against you

and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 (Ex 17:7; Mt 4:7) You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted

Him in Massah.

17 (Dt 11:22; Ps 119:4) You shall diligently keep the commandments

of the Lord your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which

He has commanded you.

18 (Dt 4:40; 12:25) You shall do what is right and good in the sight

of the Lord that it may be well with you and that you may go in

and possess the good land which the Lord swore to your fathers,

19 (Ex 23:28-30; Nu 33:52-53) to drive out all your enemies

before you, just as the Lord has spoken.



[10] And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the

land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to

give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

[11] And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells

digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou

plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

[12] Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of

the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

[13] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his

name.

[14] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are

round about you;

[15] (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the

LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of

the earth.

[16] Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

[17] Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his

testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

[18] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the

LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess

the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

[19] To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath

spoken.



"Oh no!" That was my response upon opening a beehive and discovering the

colony had suddenly died. It had been a thriving hive with lots of honey.

I'd carefully maintained it throughout a mild winter and anticipated an early

harvest. But a cold snap in the warm weather had led to collapse.



I checked with local experts. "Many beekeepers lost hives this time," they

reassured me. Mild winters present challenges for bees, even healthy hives.

Bees fan their wings to maintain warmth in the hive in winter, but when the

weather warms briefly, they exhaust themselves seeking even more food. If

temperatures drop quickly, they don't have strength to keep warm. Their

"distraction" leads to destruction.



Even good things can become dangers when they turn us from what matters most.

Moses cautioned God's people about this after they left Egypt and before they

entered the land God was about to give them - a land with "houses filled with

all kinds of good things" that they "did not provide" (Deuteronomy 6:11).

"When you eat and are satisfied," Moses warned, "be careful that you do not

forget the Lord" (vv. 11-12).



Remembering God in our blessings helps us because He is the source of

"every good and perfect gift" (James 1:17). When we humbly respond to His

goodness by loving Him with heart, soul, and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5),

we find in Him the best blessing of all.



Reflect & Pray



What are you grateful for? How do all good things ultimately come from God?



Thank You, heavenly Father, for Your goodness

to me. Please help me to remember You today!

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 6 - Shielded by the Word



Proverbs 30:5



5 (Ps 12:6; 18:30) Every word of God is pure;

He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.



5 Every word of God is pure:

He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.



A wife of ten years, betrayed by her husband's infidelity, declares that

she will never trust a man again. A teenage son says of his father, "I

can't depend on him anymore! Dad always talk big and makes promises,

but he never does what he says." A career woman, her reputation

undermined by gossip, leaves the church broken, and never returns.

Human beings are weak, volatile, unfaithful creatures; often we

break our word and hurt others in the process. But the Scripture

clearly assures us that God's Word is not like the word of man.

God always remains faithful to his Word, always fulfills his promises,

always does what he says he will do.

God's word is pure (or flawless), Proverbs 30:5 says. His Word

is not distorted with mixed motives or flawed by untruth. God's Word

is dependable, able to support and lift us up, able to speak

encouragement to us. His Word is a "shield" a protection for us

against the onslaughts of the Enemy, a place of refuge from the struggle

and confusion of daily life.

We live in a world that recognises no absolute truth. Morality,

values, relationships, ethics - every decision of life, it seems,

"depends on the situation." But in the midst of the confusion,

God interjects his Word - timeless, pure, trustworthy, reliable.

We can depend upon God's Word. We can turn to him to verify who we are

and the purposes for which we were created. We can find refuge in his truth,

and rest in the knowledge that whatever he says, he will do.



Application



a) In my own experience, how have I found God's Word

to be different from the word of men and women?



b) In what areas of my life do I need the assurance of the validity

and dependability of God's Word?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Genesis 30:43



The man became exceedingly prosperous and had many sheep

and female servants and male servants and camels and donkeys.



And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle,

and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.



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



When you are anxious



Phil 4:4-7



4 (Php 3:1; Ro 12:12 Rejoice in the Lord always.

Again I will say, rejoice!

5 (Jas 5:8-9) Let everyone come to know your gentleness.

The Lord is at hand.

6 (Eph 6:18; Mt 6:25-33) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything,

by prayer and supplication with gratitude, make your requests known

to God.

7 (Jn 14:27; Col 3:15; Isa 26:3) And the peace of God, which surpasses

all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.



4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication

with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,

shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.



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.
