6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



Adding further



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!



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, ...) .

2) Our Daily Bread for 8 February 2026 titled

When Love Shows Up by James Banks



Deuteronomy 15:7-11



7 (Dt 15:9) If there be among you a poor man, one of your brothers within

any of your gates in your land which the Lord your God has given you,

you must not harden your heart or shut your hand from your poor brother.

8 (Mt 5:42; Lk 6:34) But you shall open your hand wide to him and must surely

lend him what is sufficient for his need, in that which he lacks.

9 (Dt 24:15; Mt 20:15; Ex 22:23) Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your

heart, saying, "The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand," and

your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing,

and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become sin in you.

10 (Dt 14:29; 24:19) You must surely give to him, and your heart shall

not be grieved when you give to him, because in this thing the Lord

your God will bless you in all your works, and in all that you put

your hand to do.

11 (Mt 26:11; Mk 14:7) For the poor will never cease from being

in the land. Therefore, I command you, saying, "You shall open your hand

wide to your brother, to your poor and needy in your land."



[7] If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of

thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not

harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:

[8] But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him

sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.

[9] Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The

seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against

thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD

against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

[10] Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when

thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall

bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.

[11] For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command

thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor,

and to thy needy, in thy land.



"Why are you crying?" The question was asked by a volunteer for a Christian

relief ministry helping those whose homes had been destroyed by Hurricane

Helene. The woman (who had burst into tears in the previous moment) replied,

"I'm not crying because I lost everything. I'm crying because love

just showed up."



God's heart shows itself in His desire that we help those in need. When Moses

gave the people of Israel God's instructions before they entered the land He'd

promised them, he told them, "Do not be hardhearted or tightfisted" toward

the poor. "Rather, be openhanded and freely lend them whatever they need"

(Deuteronomy 15:7-8). Their hearts toward the poor were to reflect God's own:

"Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart" (15:10).

Whether in disastrous situations or everyday life, when we give to those in

need out of the blessings God has kindly given us, we make evident the love

of His Son, who came "to proclaim good news to the poor" (Luke 4:18). In fact,

God promises He "will bless" those who share His unselfishness with others

(Deuteronomy 15:10), both in this life and the next (see Luke 14:14). We can't

see God yet, but others may catch a glimpse of Him when we emulate His

compassion for them. May His love show up as kindness through us today.



Reflect & Pray



How has God shown you kindness when you were in need?

How might you show Jesus' love to someone in need today?



Merciful, generous Father, please help me

give to others with an open heart, so that they may see Your love in me.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



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?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



2 Cor 9:6



6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,

and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.



6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;

and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.



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



When you are Worried Over Money



1 Tim 6:6-10



6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain

that we can carry nothing out.

8 If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with these things.

9 But those who desire

to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish

and harmful lusts, which drown men in ruin and destruction.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil.

While coveting after money, some have strayed from the faith

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.



6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain

we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will

be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish

and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:

which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.



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."

[15] And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work;

after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of

two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against

the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

[28] And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings

of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of

the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.

breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy

place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.

minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall

be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.



EXODUS 29



Consecration of the Priests



Lev 8:1-36



1 Now this is the thing that you shall do to them to consecrate them,

to minister as priests to Me:

Take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

2 (Nu 6:15) and unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil,

and unleavened wafers anointed with oil - you shall make them of wheat flour.

and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

and its dung, you shall burn with fire outside the camp.

It is a sin offering.

and wash its entrails and its legs,

and put them with its pieces and its head.

18 (Ge 8:21) You shall burn the whole ram

on the altar. It is a burnt offering to the Lord.

It is a soothing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

19 (Ex 29:3) Then you shall take the other ram,

and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands

on the head of the ram.

20 You shall kill the ram and take some of its blood

and on the thumb of their right hand,

and on the great toe of their right foot,

and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

21 (Ex 29:1; 29:7) You shall take some of the blood

that is on the altar and some of the anointing

oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments,

and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him.

So he and his garments shall be consecrated,

along with his sons and his sons' garments with him.

22 (Ex 29:13) Also you shall take the fat and the rump of the ram,

and the fat that covers the entrails and the lobe above the liver,

and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread

that is before the Lord.

and in the hands of his sons, and shall wave them for a wave offering

before the Lord.

25 (Lev 8:28; Ex 29:41) Then you shall take them from their hands

and burn them on the altar for a burnt offering, for a soothing aroma

before the Lord. It is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord,

and it shall be your portion.

27 (Lev 10:15; Nu 18:11) You shall consecrate the breast of the wave

offering that is waved and the thigh of the priest's portion

that is contributed from the ram of the consecration,

from that which was for Aaron and from that which was for his sons.

28 It shall be for Aaron and his sons by a statute forever,

for it is a contribution.

It shall be a contribution from the children of Israel

from their peace offerings, their contributions to the Lord.

29 (Nu 18:8) The holy garments belonging to Aaron are to belong

to his sons after him, so that they may be anointed in them

and be consecrated in them.

30 (Nu 20:28) The son that is priest in his stead shall put them

on seven days when he comes into the tent of meeting to

minister in the holy place.

31 (Lev 8:31) You shall take the ram of the consecration

and boil its flesh in a holy place.

32 (Mt 12:4) Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram

and the bread that is in the basket by the door of the tent of meeting.

33 (Nu 18:4) They shall eat those things by which the atonement

was made in order to consecrate and sanctify them,

but no one else shall eat them, because they are holy.

34 (Ex 12:10; Lev 8:32) If any of the flesh from the consecrations

or from the bread remain until the morning,

then you shall burn the remainder with fire.

It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

35 Thus shall you do to Aaron and his sons according to all that

I have commanded you. You shall consecrate them for seven days.

36 (Heb 10:11; Ex 30:26) Every day you must offer a bull as a sin

offering for atonement, and you must cleanse the altar when you

make atonement for it. You must anoint it to consecrate it.

37 (Ex 40:10; Mt 23:19) For seven days you must make atonement

for the altar and consecrate it, and then the altar will be most holy,

and whatever touches the altar will be holy.



[1] And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to

minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two

rams without blemish,

[2] And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers

unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.

[3] And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket,

with the bullock and the two rams.

[4] And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.

[5] And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the

robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the

curious girdle of the ephod:

[6] And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon

the mitre.

[7] Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and

anoint him.

[8] And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.

[9] And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the

bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual

statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.

[10] And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of

the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head

of the bullock.

[11] And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation.

[12] And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the

horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom

of the altar.

[13] And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul

that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them,

and burn them upon the altar.

[14] But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou

burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.

[15] Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their

hands upon the head of the ram.

[16] And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and

sprinkle it round about upon the altar.

[17] And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and

his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.

[18] And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt

offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto

the LORD.

[19] And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put

their hands upon the head of the ram.

[20] Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon

the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his

sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of

their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.

[21] And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the

anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon

his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be

hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.

[22] Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that

covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and

the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of

consecration:

[23] And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out

of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:

[24] And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his

sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.

[25] And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the

altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an

offering made by fire unto the LORD.

[26] And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and

wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.

[27] And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the

shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of

the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that

which is for his sons:

[28] And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the

children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave

offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace

offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.

[29] And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be

anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.

[30] And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days,

when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the

holy place.

[31] And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh

in the holy place.

[32] And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread

that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[33] And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to

consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof,

because they are holy.

[34] And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain

unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not

be eaten, because it is holy.

[35] And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all

things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.

[36] And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for

atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an

atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

[37] Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it;

and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be

holy.



The Daily Offerings



38 (Nu 28:3-8; 1Ch 16:40) Now this is what you are to offer on the altar:

two one-year-old lambs every day, continually.

39 (Eze 46:13-15; 2Ki 16:15) The one lamb you must offer in the morning,

and the other lamb you must offer at sundown.

40 (Lev 23:13) And with the first lamb will be a tenth of an ephah

(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms. ) of flour mingled with

the fourth part of a hin (Likely about 1 quart, or 1 liter. )of beaten oil,

and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

41 The other lamb you must offer at sundown and must offer with

it the same grain offering and the same drink offering as in the morning,

for a soothing aroma, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

42 (Ex 25:22) This will be a continual burnt offering throughout

your generations at the door of the tent of meeting before the Lord,

where I will meet with you, to speak to you there.

43 (1Ki 8:11; Ex 40:34) I will meet there with the children of Israel,

and it will be consecrated by My glory.

44 (Lev 21:15; 22:9) I will sanctify the tent of meeting and the altar.

I will also sanctify both Aaron and his sons to minister as priests to Me.

45 (Ex 25:8; Lev 26:12) I will dwell among the children of Israel

and will be their God.

46 (Ex 20:2) Then they will know that I am the Lord their God who brought

them out of the land of Egypt, so that I may dwell among them.

I am the Lord their God.



[38] Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of

the first year day by day continually.

[39] The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou

shalt offer at even:

[40] And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth

part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a

drink offering.

[41] And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto

according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink

offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the

LORD.

[42] This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at

the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will

meet you, to speak there unto thee.

[43] And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle

shall be sanctified by my glory.

[44] And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar:

I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the

priest's office.

[45] And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.

[46] And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them

forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD

their God.

The Priestly Garments



1 (Nu 18:7; Ex 6:23) And bring near to yourself Aaron, your brother,

and his sons with him from among the children of Israel,

so that they may minister to Me as priests - Aaron,

Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

2 (Ex 31:10; Lev 8:30) You shall make holy garments

for your brother Aaron, for glory and for beauty.

3 (Isa 11:2; 1Co 12:7-11) You shall speak to all

who are specially skilled, whom I have filled

with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make

Aaron's garments to consecrate him,

that he may minister to Me as a priest.

4 (Ex 28:39-40) These are the garments

which they shall make: a breastplate,

your brother and his sons,

5 They shall take the gold, the blue,

the purple, and the scarlet, and fine linen.



[1] And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from

among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's

office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

[2] And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and

for beauty.

with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate

him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

[5] And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine

linen.



The Ephod



Ex 39:2-7



6 They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue,

and of purple, of scarlet,

and fine twined linen,

the work of a skilled workman.

7 It shall have the two shoulder pieces attached

to its two corners, so it shall be joined together.

8 (Ex 28:27-28; 29:5) The skillfully woven waistband

of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship,

of the same material: of gold, of blue and purple,

and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

9 You shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names

of the children of Israel,

10 six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest

on the other stone, according to their birth.

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet,

you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel.

You shall set them in filigree of gold.

12 (Ex 28:29; Jos 4:7) You shall put the two stones on the shoulders

of the ephod as stones of memorial for the children of Israel,

and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders

as a memorial.

13 You shall make filigree settings of gold,

14 and two chains of pure gold. You shall make them of twisted cord

and fasten the braided chains to the filigree settings.



[6] And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of

scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.

[7] It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges

thereof; and so it shall be joined together.

[8] And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the

same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine twined linen.

[9] And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the

children of Israel:

[10] Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on

the other stone, according to their birth.

[11] With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet,

shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel:

thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

[12] And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for

stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their

names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

[13] And thou shalt make ouches of gold;

[14] And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou

make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.



The Breastplate



Ex 39:8-21



15 You shall make the breastplate of judgment,

the work of a skillful workman.

You shall make it in the same manner as the ephod.

Of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet,

and of fine twisted linen you shall make it.

16 It is to be square when doubled: a span (About 9 inches,

or 23 centimeters.) in length and a span in width.

17 (Eze 28:13) You shall set in it four rows of stones.

The first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle;

18 the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

19 the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.

They shall be set in gold filigree.

21 (Rev 7:4-8; 21:12) The stones shall be according to the names

of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names,

each like the engravings of a signet,

every one according to his name for the twelve tribes.

22 You shall make for the breastplate braided chains of pure gold.

23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold and shall

put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold on the two rings

which are on the ends of the breastplate.

25 You shall fasten the other two ends of the two braided chains

in the two filigree settings and put them

on the front of the shoulder pieces of the ephod.

26 You shall make two rings of gold and shall put them

on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it

which is toward the inner side of the ephod.

27 You shall make two other rings of gold and shall put them

on the two shoulder pieces of the ephod underneath toward the front,

close to the place where it is joined above the skillfully woven

waistband of the ephod.

28 (Nu 15:38) They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings

of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it may be above the skillfully

woven waistband of the ephod, and so that the breastplate will not

come loose from the ephod.

29 (Ex 28:12; 28:30) Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel

on the breastplate of judgment over his heart when he goes into

the holy place, as a memorial before the Lord continually.

30 (Lev 8:8; Nu 27:21) You shall put the Urim and the Thummim

in the breastplate of judgment, and they shall be over Aaron's heart

when he goes in before the Lord. And Aaron shall bear the judgment

of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.

Sometimes a bit of wisdom drops in when we least expect it. That happened

recently as I was reading an article about American football player Travis

Kelce. A frustrated coach once told him, "Everybody you meet in this world is

either a fountain or a drain." You can probably figure out which

one Kelce was being!



Perhaps all of us have a bit of both elements in us. But at any given moment,

we're likely behaving one way or the other. And our call to follow Jesus

means becoming more fountain, less drain.



I hear a similar idea in Philippians 2, where Paul challenges us to imitate

Jesus' humility and focus on others. Paul contrasts what drains life from

others with what fills them up: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain

conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to

your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others" (vv. 3-4).

A bit later in this chapter, he adds bluntly, "Do everything without

grumbling or arguing" (v. 14).



What does it look like to be a drain? Being self-focused and arrogant;

complaining and arguing. And being a fountain? Paul says of Timothy,

"I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern

for your welfare" (v. 20).



Are we being more like a fountain or a drain?

That's a question worth pondering as we seek to bless others.



Reflect & Pray



What can cause you to be more like a drain than a fountain in your

relationships? How can you be more of a fountain to others?



Dear Father, please help me to be a fountain

of life who pours encouragement and hope into everyone I encounter.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 7 Break up Your Fallow Ground



Hosea 10:12



12 Sow to yourselves righteousness, reap mercy,

break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord,

until He comes and rains righteousness upon you.



12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy;

break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD,

till he come and rain righteousness upon you.



When a farmer prepares to plant his crop, a great deal of preparation

is necessary before the seen can be sown. He has to plow up the ground,

turning under the stubble from the previous harvest, harrow the field to

break up the clods, and fertilise- readying the soil for optimum growth.

A fallow field, one that was not planted the previous season, must be

broken and worked so that the seed can find root in the ground.

The Bible likens spiritual growth to raising crops. God is the one

who brings rain and gives growth, but the success or failure

of the seed - both in initial salvation and in ongoing maturity -

is often linked to how well the soil has been prepared.

That preparation isn't always a pleasant or rewarding process.

We may resist the plowing or harrowing that comes through

the Holy Spirit's conviction of sin. We may need to dig up boulders

of bitterness and thistles of anger; we may have to plow under the

stubble of the last crop of lessons, working that mulch deep into our lives.

But the final outcome is worth the effort - even the pain - that

preparation brings. Broken up, harrowed, readied for the seed of God's Word,

we are rich and fertile ground, and the seed of righteousness produces

an abundant crop in us.



Application



a) In what ways have I been "broken up" and "harrowed" by the Holy

Spirit to prepare me for God's work in me?



b) How can I apply these verses to myself? How can I

"sow in righteousness," "reap in mercy," "break up my fallow ground"?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Luke 6:38



38 "Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down,

shaken together, and running over will men give unto you.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you."



38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,

and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For

with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.



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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Proverbs 30:5



5 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.



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?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.

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!



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

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,

on teaching;

8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let

him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;

he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.



Col 3:17



17(1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20)And whatever you do in word or deed,

do all in the name

of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.



17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name

of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



Adding further



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!



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, ...) .

Small Beginnings by Kirsten Holmberg



Zechariah 4:1-10



The Vision of the Gold Lampstand



1 (Jer 31:26; Da 8:18) And the angel who was speaking with me returned

and woke me up like a man who is roused from his sleep.

2 Rev 4:5; 1:12And he said to me, "What do you see?"

And I responded, "I see a completely gold lampstand and a bowl at its top,

with seven lights on it, and seven pipes on it for each lamp in order

to light them.

3 (Rev 11:4) And there are two olive trees next to it, one on the right

of the bowl and one on the left."

4 (Zec 1:9; 6:4) So I answered and I asked the angel speaking with me,

"What are these, my lord?"

5 (Zec 4:13) Then the angel speaking with me responded,

"Do you really not know what these are?"

And I said, "No, my lord."

6 (Hos 1:7; Isa 11:2-4) And he said to me: "This is the word of the Lord

to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,

says the Lord of Hosts.

7 (Jer 51:25; Ps 114:4) "Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel

you will be made level ground, and he will bring out the top stone amidst

shouting of 'Grace! Grace to the stone!' "

8Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

9 (Ezr 5:16; 6:14-15) "The hands of Zerubbabel have established

the foundation of this house, and they will even complete it.

Then you will know that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me to all of you.

10 (Hag 2:3; Zec 3:9) "For who has despised the day of small things?

These seven will rejoice and see the plumb line in the hand

of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of the Lord, which survey to

and fro throughout the earth."



[1] And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man

that is wakened out of his sleep,

[2] And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold

a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven

lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top

thereof:

[3] And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the

other upon the left side thereof.

[4] So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What

are these, my lord?

[5] Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest

thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

[6] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD

unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith

the LORD of hosts.

[7] Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a

plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings,

crying, Grace, grace unto it.

[8] Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

[9] The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his

hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath

sent me unto you.

[10] For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice,

and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they

are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.



In 1848, engineer Charles Ellet Jr. puzzled over how to begin the process of

constructing the first bridge over the Niagara Falls gorge. How would they get

a cable across the river? Prompted by a dream, Charles decided to host a

kite-flying contest. American teenager Homan Walsh won five dollars when his

kite landed on the American side of the river. Homan's kite string was secured

to a tree and used to pull a light cord back across the river, then

progressively heavier cords until heavy wire cable was in place. This was the

small beginning of the construction of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge.



The bridge's challenges and inauspicious beginnings mirror those faced by

those working to rebuild God’s temple after returning from captivity in

Babylon. An angel awakened the prophet Zechariah with a message that nothing

would thwart God's work - it would all be accomplished "by [his] Spirit"

(Zechariah 4:6). Some of those who'd seen the temple in its previous glory

were fearful that the rebuilt version would pale in comparison (Ezra 3:12).

The angel encouraged Zechariah that they shouldn't "despise the day of small

things" because God would "rejoice" in seeing the work begun (Zechariah 4:10).



Even though the tasks God has appointed to us may seem insignificant, we can

be encouraged knowing He uses small things - like kite strings - to accomplish

His great works.



Reflect & Pray



How does it encourage you to know that God's works often start small?

How might you trust His faithfulness?



Dear Father, thank You for being faithful to Your plans.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 6 God Works!



Phil 2:12-13



12 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 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.



"I just can't do it!" Marlys, a career woman in her 30s, was struggling to fit

her new Christian principles into the business world. Accustomed to the

cutthroat tactics of the corporate hierarchy, she has a hard time knowing

Jesus' examples of grace and mercy applied.

Marlys was right. She couldn't do it. In our own strength, none of us is able

to "live the Christian life." Someone has said, " The Christian life isn't

difficult -- it's impossible!" Only the power of the Holy Spirit is

effective to work the needed changes in our priorities and behaviour;

only God can accomplish what he calls us to do.

In Phillippians 2:12, Paul says "work it out." If we stop there,

we are likely to throw up our hands in despair.

But the good news appears in verse 13:

" For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure."

WE are not left on our own to figure out how to live the Christian life.

God gives us both the will and the ability to obey him, to live in a way

that will please him.

The key to a God-pleasing life is not performance, but obedience. God does not

expect us to "do great things" for him, to deserve his love and grace.

Our part in the process of salvation is to respond in obedience to the Lord,

to say "yes" to what he asks of us. We cannot change ourselves;

we cannot even know ourselves apart from the Spirit's insight. But

as we cooperate with him, as we agree to be obedient, the Spirit changes us

within, and those changes are "worked out" into our lives.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to "Live the Christian life" on my own strength?

What was the result?



b) In what practical ways is Paul's declaration that "God works in me"

good new in my life?

When you are Burdened by Doubt



James 1:2 to 8



Faith and Wisdom



2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,

3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.

4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,

lacking nothing.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men

liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.

6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers

is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.

7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.



2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect

and entire, wanting nothing.

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men

liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth

is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

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.

[10] And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits

thereof:

[11] But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the

poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field

shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy

oliveyard.

[12] Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt

rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and

the stranger, may be refreshed.

[13] And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no

mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.



The Three Annual Feasts



14 (Dt 16:16) Three times in the year you must celebrate a feast to Me.

15 (Ex 34:20; Nu 28:16-25) You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you,

in the appointed time of the month Aviv, for in it you came out from Egypt.

No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.

16 (Ex 34:22; Lev 23:9-21; 23:34-44) You shall observe the Feast of Harvest,

the first fruits of your labors, which you have sown in the field.

You shall observe the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year,

when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.

17 (Dt 16:16; Ex 34:23) Three times in the year all your males

shall appear before the Lord God.

18 (Ex 34:25; Lev 2:11) You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice

with leavened bread, nor shall the fat of My sacrifice remain

until the morning.

19 (Ex 34:26; Dt 14:21; 26:10) The first of the first fruits of your land

you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God.

You shall not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.



[14] Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.

[15] Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat

unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of

the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear

before me empty:)

[16] And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou

hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of

the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.

[17] Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord GOD.

[18] Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread;

neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

[19] The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the

house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.



The Angel Prepares the Way



20 (Ex 14:19; 32:34) Indeed, I am going to send an angel before you to guard

you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

21 (Ps 78:40; 78:56) Be on guard before him and obey his voice.

Do not provoke him, for he will not pardon your transgressions,

for My name is in him.

22 (Ge 12:3; Dt 30:7) But if you diligently obey his voice

and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies

and an adversary to your adversaries.

23 (Ex 23:20) For My angel will go before you and bring you to

the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites,

and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,

and I will completely destroy them.

24 (Ex 20:5; Nu 33:52) You must not bow down to their gods,

or serve them, or do according to their practices,

but you shall utterly overthrow them

and break down their images in pieces.

25 (Ex 15:26; Dt 6:13) You shall serve the Lord your God,

and He shall bless your bread and your water,

and I will remove sickness from your midst.

26 (Dt 7:14; Job 5:26) No one shall be miscarrying

or be barren in your land.

I will fulfill the number of your days.

27 (Dt 2:25; 7:23) I will send My fear before you,

and I will throw into panic all the people to whom you shall come.

I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

28 (Dt 7:20) I will send hornets before you which shall

drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you.

29 (Dt 7:22) I will not drive them out before you in one year,

lest the land become desolate

and the beasts of the field multiply against you.

30 Little by little I will drive them out before you,

until you become fruitful and inherit the land.

31 (Ge 15:18; Jos 21:44) I will set your boundaries from the Red Sea

to the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert to the River;

Euphrates River. for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land

into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.

32 (Ex 34:12; Dt 7:2) You must not make a covenant with them

or with their gods.

33 (Dt 7:16; Ps 106:36) They shall not live in your land,

lest they cause you to sin against Me,

for if you serve their gods,

it will surely be a snare to you.



[20] Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to

bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

[21] Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not

pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

[22] But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then

I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine

adversaries.

[23] For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the

Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the

Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

[24] Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after

their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down

their images.

[25] And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and

thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

[26] There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the

number of thy days I will fulfil.

[27] I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to

whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs

unto thee.

[28] And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite,

the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

[29] I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land

become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

[30] By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou

be increased, and inherit the land.

[31] And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the

Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the

inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before

thee.

[32] Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

[33] They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me:

for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.



EXODUS 24



The Covenant Confirmed



1 (Ex 6:23; Nu 11:16) Then He said to Moses, "Come up to the Lord, you,

and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

and you shall worship from a distance.

2 (Ex 24:13; 24:15) Moses alone shall come near the Lord,

but they shall not come near, nor may the people go up with him."

3 (Ex 19:8; 24:7) Moses came and told the people

all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances.

Then all the people answered with one voice and said,

"All the words which the Lord has said we will do."

4 (Dt 31:9; Ge 28:18) Moses wrote all the words of the Lord,

and rose up early in the morning,

and built an altar at the foot of the mountain

with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 (Ex 18:12) He sent young Israelite men who offered burnt offerings

and sacrificed peace offerings of young bulls to the Lord.

6 (Heb 9:18) Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins,

and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 (Ex 24:3-4)He took the Book of the Covenant

and read in the hearing of the people,

and they said, "All that the Lord has said we will do,

and we will be obedient."

8 (Mt 26:28; Heb 13:20) So Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it

on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant,

which the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."



Exodus 24

[1] And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab,

and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.

[2] And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not come nigh;

neither shall the people go up with him.

[3] And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all

the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the

words which the LORD hath said will we do.

[4] And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the

morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according

to the twelve tribes of Israel.

[5] And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt

offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

[6] And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the

blood he sprinkled on the altar.

[7] And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the

people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be

obedient.

[8] And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said,

Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you

concerning all these words.



Moses on Mount Sinai



9 (Ex 24:1) Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,

and seventy of the elders of Israel,

10 (Jn 1:18; Eze 10:1) and they saw the God of Israel,

and under His feet there was something like

a paved work of sapphire stone as clear as the sky itself.

11 (Ge 16:13; 31:54) He did not lay His hand upon

the nobles of the children of Israel.

Also they saw God, and they ate and they drank.

12 (Ex 31:18; 32:15-16) The Lord said to Moses,

"Come up to Me to the mountain and stay there,

and I will give you the stone tablets with law

and the commandments which I have written,

so that you may teach them."

13 (Ex 33:11; 3:1) Moses rose up with Joshua his attendant,

and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

14 (Ex 17:10; 17:12) He said to the elders,

"Wait for us in this place until we return to you.

Aaron and Hur are with you.

Whoever has any matters of dispute let him come to them."

15 (Ex 19:9; 19:16) Moses went up to the mountain,

and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 (Ex 16:10; Nu 14:10) The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai,

and the cloud covered it for six days.

And on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.

17 (Ex 3:2; Heb 12:29) Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord

was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain to the eyes

of the children of Israel.

18 (Ex 34:28; Dt 9:9) Moses went into the midst of the cloud

and went up to the mountain.

And Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.



[9] Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the

elders of Israel:

[10] And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were

a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his

clearness.

[11] And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand:

also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

[12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be

there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments

which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

[13] And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the

mount of God.

[14] And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again

unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any

matters to do, let him come unto them.

[15] And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

[16] And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered

it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of

the cloud.

[17] And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the

top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

[18] And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the

mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

to his neighbor.

10 If a man gives his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep,

or any beast to keep for him, and it dies, or is injured,

or is driven away while no one sees it,

11 (Heb 6:16) then there will be an oath before the Lord between

both of them that he has not laid his hand upon his neighbor's property.

And its owner must accept this, and he will not have to make restitution.

12 (Ge 31:39) However, if it was stolen from him, he shall

goods.

[9] For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep,

for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to

be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the

judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.

[10] If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or

any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing

it:

[11] Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not

put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept

thereof, and he shall not make it good.

[12] And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner

thereof.

[13] If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he

shall not make good that which was torn.

[14] And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the

then they shall sell the live ox

[34] The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner

of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

[35] And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell

the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall

divide.

[36] Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his

owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead

shall be his own.

2) Our Daily Bread for 5 February 2026 titled Rejuvenating Rest

by Xochitl Dixon



Hebrews 4:1-4, 6-7, 9-11



1 (Heb 12:15) Therefore, since the promise of entering His rest remains,

let us fear lest any of you should seem to come short of it.

2 (1Th 2:13) For the gospel was preached to us as well as to them.

But the word preached did not benefit them, because it was not mixed

with faith in those who heard it.

3 (Ps 95:11; Heb 3:11) For we who have believed have entered this rest,

as He has said,

"As I have sworn in My wrath,

'They shall not enter My rest.' "(Ps 95:11.)

However, His works have been finished since the creation of the world.

4 (Ex 20:11; 31:17) For He spoke somewhere about the seventh day like this:

"And God rested on the seventh day from all His works."(Ge 2:2.)

6 (Heb 3:18-19) Since therefore it remains for some to enter it,

and they to whom it was first preached did not enter due to unbelief,

7 (Ps 95:7; Heb 3:7-8) again He establishes a certain day,

"Today," saying through David, after so long a time, as it has been said:

"Today, if you will hear His voice,

do not harden your hearts."(Ps 95:7-8.)

9 Therefore a rest remains for the people of God.

10 (Rev 14:13) For whoever enters His rest will also cease from his own works,

as God did from His.

11 (Heb 3:12) Let us labor therefore to enter that rest, lest anyone fall

by the same pattern of unbelief.



[1] Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into

his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

[2] For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word

preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard

it.

[3] For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have

sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were

finished from the foundation of the world.

[4] For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God

did rest the seventh day from all his works.

[6] Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to

whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

[7] Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long

a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your

hearts.

[9] There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

[10] For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own

works, as God did from his.

[11] Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall

after the same example of unbelief.



During a birthday party, five-year-old Mia enjoyed playing, singing "Happy

Birthday," eating cake, and watching her friend open gifts. When everyone went

outside to play, Mia said, "Mom, I'm ready to go." They thanked their host.

Pulling out of the driveway, Mia's mom asked her to share the best part of her

day. "Leaving," said Mia. Smiling, she fell asleep

before they turned the corner.



Even if we don't realise we're exhausted, we all need physical, mental, and

emotional rest. God also provides divine rest when we accept both the good

news of salvation through Christ and daily spiritual rest as the Spirit

enables us to live for Christ by faith. Those who place their trust in God can

depend on His unending presence, unlimited power, and unchanging promises.

Saved through Christ's work on the cross, we can rest in the peace of His

sufficiency (Hebrews 4:1-4). We can experience divine rest as a guarantee

fulfilled eternally now and when Jesus comes again (vv. 5-8).



"Anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did

from his" (v. 10). So, secured in Christ, we can enjoy a hope-filled life of

surrender and loving obedience as we trust and rely on Him. Only He can

provide rejuvenating rest yesterday and today and forever.



Reflect & Pray



How does believing God enable you to rest in the surety of your salvation

and rest physically, emotionally, and mentally each day? What has kept you

from resting in God's promises in the past?



Faithful God, thank You for being my enduring resting place.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 5 Called by Name



Isaiah 43:1



1 But now, thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob,

and He who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name; you are Mine.



1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob,

and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:

for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.



Eric, age 4, somehow lost his mother in a large and busy department store.

Found sobbing under a coat rack, the boy tried to tell the security guard

where he was when he got separated from his mother. Finally the guard said,

"what's your name, Son? Who do you belong to?"

The child brightened a bit, gave the guard his name, and within minutes

the frantic mother was reunited with her lost son.

One of the first questions we are asked, both as children and adults, is

"What is your name?" - that is, "Who are you? Who do you belong to?"

Children bear the name of their parents, and most women,

except for professional reasons,

take the name of their husbands when they marry.

Our names are our primary method of identification;

they connect us with our heritage and those we love.

In Isaiah 43:1, God declares that we belong to him.

The Lord who created us and formed us says,

"I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine." God's

right of ownership in our lives extends beyond the bond of family and friends,

of parent, child, or spouse. We belong first to him;

we are called by him into oneness with him.

The Scripture is filled with images of the Lord's care for us;

when we are lost, he does

not wait for us to find him,

but takes the initiative, like a loving parent

to seek us out. That declaration of belonging can give us

a strong sense of security in our lives. God loves us;

he will never let us go.

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Hebr 11:6



6 (1Ch 28:9; Jer 29:13-14) And without faith it is impossible to please God,

for he who comes to God must believe that He exists

and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.



6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh

to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them

that diligently seek him.



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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Matt 7:7-11



Ask, Seek, Knock



Lk 11:9-13



7(Mt 21:22; Mk 11:24) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;

knock and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,

and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

9 "What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread,

will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?

11 (Ge 6:5; 8:21) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts

to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give

good things to those who ask Him!



7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,

and it shall be opened unto you:

8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;

and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,

will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,

how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things

to them that ask him?
