6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)

Ontario

Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario

Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000

est Muslim Population 1 001 542

CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,

Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor

Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that

the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most

Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching

from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly

resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques

are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools

are starting.

And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their

advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,

the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour

brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of

"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of

receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town

reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.

Agree in prayer for:

- net network leaders - the need is great

- the development of network leadership teams

- good connectiosn with local pastors, congregations and individuals

whom God is calling into this ministry.

- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising

believers

- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas

- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love

towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.

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!

And

Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

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

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

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

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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

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

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

ROMANS 15:13

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

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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

2) Our Daily Bread for 1 May 2026 Titled

God's Perfect Specifications by Marvin Williams

Genesis 1:26-31

26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,

and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds

of the air, and over the livestock, and over all the earth,

and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let

them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,

and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing

that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in His own image;

in the image of God He created him;

male and female He created them.

[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he

him; male and female created he them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish

the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds

of the air and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and

multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the

fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing

that moveth upon the earth.

29 Then God said, "See, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is

on the face of all the earth and every tree which has fruit yielding seed.

It shall be food for you.

30 To every beast of the earth and to every bird

of the air and to everything that creeps on the earth which has the breath

of life in it, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.

[29] And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which

is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit

of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

[30] And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to

every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have

given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

[31] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very

good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

31 God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.

So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

After a company couldn't meet the specifications for ink pens used in some US

government offices in the 1960s, the General Services Administration asked

National Industries for the Blind (NIB) to make 70 million pens - despite NIB

having never made pens before. They accepted the challenge and met all the

specifications. Since 1967 blind factory workers have assembled these writing

instruments used extensively by military personnel. The pens can be used to

write upside down, make a mile-long line of ink, and withstand extreme

temperatures.

Genesis 1:27 reminds us that each human being has been made to God's perfect

specifications: "God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he

created them; male and female he created them." How we're created reflects

God's character and nature. Being created in His image means everyone has

inherent dignity and worth. God said that each person's story begins with

being made "in [His] image, in [His] likeness" (v. 26). This truth provides

the foundation for understanding human dignity, identity, and relationships

with others.

Just as those pens serve a vital role, so do we! Though we might feel

unimpressive, each of us holds intrinsic value and purpose crafted by God.

Today, may we embrace our story, knowing our Creator treasures us and calls

us "very good" (v. 31).

Reflect & Pray

How have you embraced your story as being created in God's image?

How has your image and identity been formed by Him?

Dear God, thank You that I'm created in Your image.

For further study,

read Remade in the Image of Jesus.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

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

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?

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.

PSALMS 107

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.

12 Therefore He brought down their hearts with hard labor;

they fell down, and there was none to help.

13 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

and He delivered them out of their distress.

14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death

and broke apart their bonds.

15 Let them praise the Lord for His goodness

and for His wonderful works to the people!

16 For He has broken the gates of bronze

and cut the bars of iron in two.

17 Some were fools because of their transgressions,

and because of their iniquities they are afflicted.

18 They loathed all manner of food,

and they drew near to the gates of death.

19 Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,

and He saved them out of their distress.

20 He sent His word and healed them

and delivered them from their destruction.

21 Let them praise the Lord for His goodness

and for His wonderful works to the people!

22 And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving

and declare His works with rejoicing.

23 Some went down to the sea in ships,

to do business in the vast waters;

24 they saw the works of the Lord

and His wonders in the deep water.

25 For He commands and raises the stormy wind,

which lifts up the sea waves.

26 The sailors went up to the sky, they came down to the depths;

their strength melted because of the great danger.

27 They reeled to and fro and staggered like drunken men,

and were completely confused.

28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

and He saved them out of their distress.

29 He made the storm calm,

and the sea waves were still.

30 They were glad because the waters were quiet,

so He brought them to their desired harbor.

31 Let them praise the Lord for His goodness

and for His wonderful works to the people!

32 Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people,

and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

33 He turns rivers into a desert,

water springs into dry ground,

34 a fruitful land into salty wasteland,

because of the wickedness of those living there.

35 He turns a wilderness into pools of water,

a parched ground into springs of water.

36 There He makes the hungry dwell,

and they prepare a city to live in;

37 they sow fields and plant vineyards,

and yield a fruitful harvest.

38 He blesses them, so that they are greatly multiplied,

and He does not let their livestock decrease.

39 But when they are diminished and brought down

through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,

40 He pours contempt upon princes,

and causes them to wander in a wilderness with no road;

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

Psalms 107

[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:

[12] Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and

there was none to help.

[13] Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out

of their distresses.

[14] He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake

their bands in sunder.

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

wonderful works to the children of men!

[16] For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in

sunder.

[17] Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities,

are afflicted.

[18] Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the

gates of death.

[19] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them

out of their distresses.

[20] He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their

destructions.

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

wonderful works to the children of men!

[22] And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his

works with rejoicing.

[23] They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great

waters;

[24] These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

[25] For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the

waves thereof.

[26] They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their

soul is melted because of trouble.

[27] They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their

wits' end.

[28] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out

of their distresses.

[29] He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

[30] Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto

their desired haven.

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

wonderful works to the children of men!

[32] Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise

him in the assembly of the elders.

[33] He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry

ground;

[34] A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell

therein.

[35] He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into

watersprings.

[36] And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city

for habitation;

[37] And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of

increase.

[38] He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and

suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

[39] Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression,

affliction, and sorrow.

[40] He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the

wilderness, where there is no way.

[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.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-) We have sinned with our fathers;

we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Our fathers did not consider

Your wonders in Egypt;

they did not remember the greatness of Your mercy,

but rebelled against Him at the sea, by the Red Sea.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,

that He might make His mighty power known.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was driedup,

so He led them through the depths as through the wilderness.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He saved them from the hand of him who hated them

and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) The waters covered their enemies;

there was not one of them left.

12 Then they believed His words;

they sang His praise.

13 But they soon forgot His works;

they did not wait for His counsel,

14 but they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness

and tested God in the desert.

15 He gave them their request,

but He sent a wasting disease on them.

16 They envied in the camp Moses

and Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord.

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan

and engulfed those led by Abiram.

18 A fire broke out among their company;

the flame burned up the wicked.

19 They made a calf at Horeb,

and worshipped the molded image.

20 Thus they changed the glory of God

for the image of an ox that eats grass.

21 They forgot God, their Deliverer,

who had done great things in Egypt,

22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,

and marvelous deeds by the Red Sea.

23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them,

had not Moses, His chosen one,

stood before Him to intercede,

to turn away His wrath from destroying them.

24 Then they despised the pleasant land;

they did not believe His promise,

25 but they grumbled in their tents,

and did not listen to the voice of the Lord.

26 Therefore He lifted up His hand against them

and swore to overthrow them in the wilderness,

27 and to overthrow their offspring among the nations,

and to scatter them in the lands.

28 They joined themselves to Baal of Peor

and ate the sacrifices given for the dead.

29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their acts,

and a plague broke out upon them.

30 Then Phinehas stood up and interceded,

and so the plague ceased.

31 That was counted unto him for righteousness

unto all generations forever.

32 They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah,

so that Moses suffered because of them,

33 because they provoked his temper,

so that he spoke impulsively with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the nations

as the Lord commanded them,

35 but they mixed among the nations

and learned their deeds;

36 they served their idols,

which were a snare to them.

37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to demons,

38 and poured out innocent blood,

even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,

and the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus were they defiled by their acts

and acted like whores with these actions.

40 Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,

and He abhorred His own inheritance.

41 He gave them into the hand of the nations,

and those who hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies also oppressed them,

and Israel was brought into subjection under their powerful hand.

43 Many times He delivered them,

but they were rebellious against Him with their counsel,

and were afflicted for their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless, He regarded their affliction,

when He heard their cry:

45 and He remembered on their behalf His covenant

and relented according to the greatness of His mercies.

46 He made them pitied

among all those who held them captive.

47 Save us, O Lord our God,

and gather us from among the nations,

to give thanks unto Your holy name

and to boast in Your praise.

48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting,

and let all the people say, "Amen!"

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 106

[1] Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his

mercy endureth for ever.

[2] Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his

praise?

[3] Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at

all times.

[4] Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people:

O visit me with thy salvation;

[5] That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the

gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

[6] We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have

done wickedly.

[7] Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the

multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

[8] Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his

mighty power to be known.

[9] He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through

the depths, as through the wilderness.

[10] And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed

them from the hand of the enemy.

[11] And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

[12] Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

[13] They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

[14] But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

[15] And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

[16] They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

[17] The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of

Abiram.

[18] And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

[19] They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

[20] Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth

grass.

[21] They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

[22] Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

[23] Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen

stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should

destroy them.

[24] Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

[25] But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the

LORD.

[26] Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the

wilderness:

[27] To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in

the lands.

[28] They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of

the dead.

[29] Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague

brake in upon them.

[30] Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was

stayed.

[31] And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations

for evermore.

[32] They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with

Moses for their sakes:

[33] Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with

his lips.

[34] They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded

them:

[35] But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

[36] And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

[37] Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

[38] And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their

daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was

polluted with blood.

[39] Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with

their own inventions.

[40] Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people,

insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

[41] And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them

ruled over them.

[42] Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into

subjection under their hand.

[43] Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their

counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

[44] Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

[45] And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the

multitude of his mercies.

[46] He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them

captives.

[47] Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give

thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

[48] Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and

let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

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

Manitoba

Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba

Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000

est Muslim Population 21 349

CNMM Networks: Winnipeg

The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.

Let us intercede in unity for:

- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support

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!

And

Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

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

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

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

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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

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

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

ROMANS 15:13

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

2) Our Daily Bread for 30 April 2025 titled

Follow God's Way by Karen Huang

Haggai 1:1,5-11

God's Command to Rebuild the Temple

1 (Ezr 2:2; 3:2; 3:8) In the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month,

on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came

by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,

governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak,

the high priest, saying,

5 (La 3:40) Now, therefore, thus says the Lord of Hosts: Consider your ways.

6 (Hag 2:16; Zec 8:10) You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat,

but you do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink;

you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns

wages to put them into a bag with holes.

7 (Hag 1:5) Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Consider your ways.

8 (Ps 132:13-14; Hag 2:7) Go up to the mountain and bring wood

and rebuild the house, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,

says the Lord.

9 (Hag 1:4; Isa 40:7) You looked for much, and it came to little;

and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? says the Lord of Hosts.

Because of My house that lies in ruins while each of you runs to his own house.

10 (Lev 26:19; Dt 28:23-24) Therefore the heavens above you have withheld

the dew, and the earth has withheld its crops.

11 (Hag 2:17; Dt 28:22) I called for a drought on the land and the mountains,

on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on what the ground brings forth,

on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.

[1] In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the

first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet

unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua

the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,

[5] Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

[6] Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not

enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but

there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it

into a bag with holes.

[7] Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

[8] Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I

will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

[9] Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought

it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of

mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.

[10] Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is

stayed from her fruit.

[11] And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains,

and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon

that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and

upon all the labour of the hands.

Ken avoided the migrant workers in his building. Their habits and way of life,

so different from his, annoyed him. One day, however, while Ken was praying, a

thought pierced him: They've been your neighbors for years, yet not once have

you shared the gospel with them.

Think carefully about your attitude towards them.

Scripture tells us of when God confronted the Israelites with a similar

warning: "Consider your ways" (Haggai 1:7). After their captivity in Babylon,

His people returned to Jerusalem, tasked to rebuild the temple. God had

"moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia" (Ezra 1:1) to order

the construction and provide funds (vv. 2-4). But after the people laid the

foundation, opposition grew (4:1-5), so they neglected the project

for fourteen years.

Through the prophet Haggai, God told them, "Give careful thought to your

ways. . . . My house . . . remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your

own house" (Haggai 1:7, 9). God was saying, "Think carefully about how you're

living. Are you doing what I want you to do?"

God disciplined His people (vv. 5-11), but when they resumed construction, He

encouraged them, "I am with you . . . . Do not fear" (2:4-5). And the temple

was completed in less than five years.

In what area of life do we need to "give careful thought to [our] ways"?

Let's ask God to show us and help us follow His correction.

Reflect & Pray

How is God’s way different from yours?

What things do you need to change to truly obey Him?

Dear God, please help me to follow Your way.

Learn more about the blessings that

come when we follow Him wholeheartedly.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 5 - Learning by Heart

Ps 119:9,11

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) How shall a young man keep his way pure?

By keeping it according to Your word.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Your word I have hidden in my heart,

that I might not sin against You.

9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?

By taking heed thereto according to thy word.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart,

That I might not sin against thee.

"His heart is not just in it," a gifted musician commented about the

pianist onstage. "He's here at the Orchestra Hall, playing for

thousands of people, an his technique is flawless, but something

is missing - his heart is just not in it."

The psalmist , in Psalm 119, draws a similar parallel. We "Keep our

way pure" through obedience of his Word, by ordering our lives according

to the commands of the Scriptures. But outward behaviour is not the only

essential factor in purity of life. The changes in our behaviour need to

come from the heart, from the inside out. Our "technique" for living

the Christian life may be flawless, but our obedience is founded

in heart motivation, something is certainly missing.

"I seek you with all my heart," the psalmist declares in verse 10.

Thus he can say in verse 11, "Your word I have hidden in my heart,

that I might not sin against You."

Often we refer to memorisation as "learning by heart" - and indeed

"by heart" is the biblical mandate for assimilating God's truth

into our daily lives. "By rote" or "By Mind" leaves us

intellectually overstuffed, yet spiritually starving.

When we try to apply the Word outwardly to our behaviour,

we end up in a tangle of legalism, a log "do list" by which

we hope to please God. But when we set our hearts toward God first,

then changes in our behaviour grow out of love for God and a deep

desire to serve him. Then we are truly loving and obeying God with

our whole hearts.

Application

a) In what ways have I tried to apply God's word to my behaviour

without having the truth firmly in my heart? What was the result?

b) How can I set my heart toward God and give myself more fully

to his Word?

c) What areas of my life need "purifying"? How can these verses

help me to "make my way pure"?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Luke 12:21

21 "So is he who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

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

When you are Impatient

James 5:7-11

Patience and Prayer

7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.

Notice how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth

and is patient with it until he receives the early and late rain.

8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts,

for the coming of the Lord is drawing near.

9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned.

Look, the Judge is standing at the door.

10 My brothers, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord,

as an example of suffering and patience.

11 Indeed we count them happy who endure.

You have heard of the patience of Job

and have seen the purpose of the Lord,

that the Lord is very gracious and merciful.

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,

the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long

patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord

draweth nigh.

9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:

behold, the judge standeth before the door.

10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord,

for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience

of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful,

and of tender mercy.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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

9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

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

Manitoba

Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba

Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000

est Muslim Population 21 349

CNMM Networks: Winnipeg

The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.

Let us intercede in unity for:

- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support

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!

ROMANS 15:13

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

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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

1 Chronicles 12

[23] And these are the numbers of the bands that were ready armed to the

war, and came to David to Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him,

according to the word of the LORD.

[24] The children of Judah that bare shield and spear were six thousand and

eight hundred, ready armed to the war.

[25] Of the children of Simeon, mighty men of valour for the war, seven

thousand and one hundred.

[26] Of the children of Levi four thousand and six hundred.

[27] And Jehoiada was the leader of the Aaronites, and with him were three

thousand and seven hundred;

[28] And Zadok, a young man mighty of valour, and of his father's house

twenty and two captains.

[29] And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul, three thousand:

for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of the house of

Saul.

[30] And of the children of Ephraim twenty thousand and eight hundred,

mighty men of valour, famous throughout the house of their fathers.

[31] And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, which were

expressed by name, to come and make David king.

[32] And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding

of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two

hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

[33] Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, with all

instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank: they were not of

double heart.

[34] And of Naphtali a thousand captains, and with them with shield and

spear thirty and seven thousand.

[35] And of the Danites expert in war twenty and eight thousand and six

hundred.

[36] And of Asher, such as went forth to battle, expert in war, forty

thousand.

[37] And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites, and the Gadites,

and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of instruments of war for

the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.

[38] All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart

to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of

Israel were of one heart to make David king.

[39] And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking: for

their brethren had prepared for them.

[40] Moreover they that were nigh them, even unto Issachar and Zebulun and

Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen,

and meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil,

and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for there was joy in Israel.

2) Our Daily Bread for 29 April 2026 titled

Prayer in Disguise by Sheridan Voysey

Job 19:5-12

5 (Ps 35:26; 38:16) If indeed you exalt yourselves against me

and plead against me with my disgrace,

6 (Job 18:8-10) know now that God has bent me

and has surrounded me with His net.

7 (La 3:8; Hab 1:2-3) "Look, I cry out concerning wrong, but I am not heard;

I cry aloud, but there is no justice.

8 (Job 3:23; La 3:7) He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass,

and He has set darkness in my paths.

9 (Ps 89:44; 89:39) He has stripped me of my glory

and taken the crown from my head.

10 (Job 24:20) He has destroyed me on every side, and I am gone;

my hope He has uprooted like a tree.

11 (Job 13:24; 16:9) He has also kindled His wrath against me,

and He counts me as one of His enemies.

12 (Job 30:12) His troops come together

and build up their road against me;

they set up camp all around my tent.

[5] If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my

reproach:

[6] Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his

net.

[7] Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there

is no judgment.

[8] He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in

my paths.

[9] He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

[10] He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath

he removed like a tree.

[11] He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him

as one of his enemies.

[12] His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp

round about my tabernacle.

After the horrors of Auschwitz, Elie Wiesel lost his faith. "Where were you,

God of kindness?" he asked, recalling the evil he and others suffered. "In my

childhood I did not expect much from human beings. But I expected everything

from you."

And yet, Wiesel realised later that his faith had never really left him. "It

is because I believed in God that I was angry at God," he told a journalist,

"and still am." You don't get angry at someone you don't believe exists.

We might feel uncomfortable expressing anger at God, but biblical characters

did. "You deceived me, Lord," the prophet Jeremiah cried (20:7). "Will you

forget me forever?" David wrote (Psalm 13:1). "God has wronged me," Job said

(19:6). Unaware of Satan's role in his misfortune, Job accused God of being

cruel (10:3) and even subpoenaed Him to court (31:35)! While Job later

discovered that his understanding was limited (42:3), it's important to note

God never rebukes his feelings.

Despite his questions, Elie Wiesel prayed, "Let us make up. It is unbearable

to be divorced from you so long." We too might be angry at God for not

limiting the suffering in our world, but our expressing it to Him can become

prayer in disguise - keeping us close to the God who wants us to bring not

just our praise but our anger to Him too.

Reflect & Pray

When have you felt angry at God?

How can Job's story help us express and keep a clear perspective?

Dear God, I'm angry at the suffering in this world, but choose to trust You.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 4 - Arming for Battle

Joshua 1:8

8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.

Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according

to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,

and you will be wise.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt

meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according

to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,

and then thou shalt have good success.

When God spoke these words to Joshua, the young leader's prospects for

"prosperity" and "success" were far from promising. Upon Moses' death,

Joshua was appointed to lead Israel into the Promised Land, to claim

the territory and establish a nation under God's rule.

Joshua was afraid, and for good reason. The people were rebellious

and intractable. And "claiming the land" meant battling many strong enemies.

Yet God told Joshua that his strength would come not in preparing for battle,

but in preparing for battle, but in preparing himself by meditating

on and applying God's word to his life.

We, too, face difficult battles as we seek to enter the "Promised Land"

of God's peace and presence. But his promise is the same as it was to Joshua:

through obedience to the Word, we can find prosperity and success.

God's promise does not necessarily mean financial prosperity

or material success. These victories may come as well, but God's primary

purpose for his people is spiritual success - the victory and joy of living

in fellowship with him. We can be enriched in the knowledge of God and

find power to overcome the enemies of sin and self. The way may not be easy

- after all, there is no victory without conflict - but God promises

that we will succeed as we look to him.

Application

a) What image do I have a personal "Promised Land" that I long

to enter and claim as my own?

b) What enemies will I need to battle in order to enter that land?

c) How can meditation on the Word of God and obedience to him bring me

prosperity and success?

4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland

Deut 28:11

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

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

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

to your fathers to give you.

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

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

which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

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

When you are lonely

1 John 4:16b-18

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

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

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

so are we in this world.

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

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

Whoever fears is not perfect in love.

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

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

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

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

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

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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

9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

1 Chronicles 11

[10] These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who

strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to

make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

[11] And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, and

Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three

hundred slain by him at one time.

[12] And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of

the three mighties.

[13] He was with David at Pas-dammim, and there the Philistines were

gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley;

and the people fled from before the Philistines.

[14] And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it,

and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.

[15] Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into

the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley

of Rephaim.

[16] And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then

at Bethlehem.

[17] And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the

water of the well of Bethlehem, that is at the gate!

[18] And the three brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water

out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought

it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD,

[19] And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I

drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with

the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink

it. These things did these three mightiest.

[20] And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting

up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the

three.

[21] Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their

captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.

[22] Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who

had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and

slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.

[23] And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and

in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to

him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew

him with his own spear.

[24] These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among

the three mighties.

[25] Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the

first three: and David set him over his guard.

[26] Also the valiant men of the armies were, Asahel the brother of Joab,

Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

[27] Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

[28] Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abi-ezer the Antothite,

[29] Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

[30] Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,

[31] Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of

Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

[32] Hurai of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel the Arbathite,

[33] Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite,

[34] The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the

Hararite,

[35] Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur,

[36] Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,

[37] Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,

[38] Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Haggeri,

[39] Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Berothite, the armourbearer of Joab the

son of Zeruiah,

[40] Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,

[41] Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,

[42] Adina the son of Shiza the Reubenite, a captain of the Reubenites, and

thirty with him,

[43] Hanan the son of Maachah, and Joshaphat the Mithnite,

[44] Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jehiel the sons of Hothan the

Aroerite,

[45] Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,

[46] Eliel the Mahavite, and Jeribai, and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam, and

Ithmah the Moabite,

[47] Eliel, and Obed, and Jasiel the Mesobaite.

1 CHRONICLES 12

The Mighty Men Join David

1 (1Sa 27:2-6) Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he yet

kept himself away from Saul the son of Kish. They were among the brave men,

helpers in the war.

2 (Jdg 3:15; 20:16) They were armed with bows, and could use

both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows

out of a bow. They were Saul's brothers of Benjamin.

3 (1Ch 11:28)The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah

the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berakah,

and Jehu the Anathothite;

4 (Jos 9:3; 15:36) and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a brave warrior

among the thirty, and over the thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan,

and Jozabad the Gederathite;

5and Eluzai, Jerimoth, Bealiah, Shemariah,

and Shephatiah the Haruphite;

6and Elkanah, Ishiah, Azarel, Joezer,

and Jashobeam the Korahites;

7 (Jos 15:58) and Joelah and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

8 (2Sa 2:18; 17:10) From the Gadites mighty men of valor, men of the war

battalion, who could handle shield and sword, whose faces were like the

faces of lions, and who were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains,

separated themselves for David in the stronghold in the wilderness:

9 Ezer the captain,

Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

10 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

1 1Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

12 Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

13 Jeremiah the tenth, Makbannai the eleventh.

14 (Lev 26:8; Dt 32:30) These were from Gad, captains of the battalions.

One of the least of them was as a hundred and the greatest as a thousand.

15 (Jos 3:15; 4:18) These were the ones who crossed over the Jordan

during the first month when it had overflowed its banks and caused the valley

dwellers to flee to the east and to the west.

16 Some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold of David.

17 So David went out before them and said to them, "If you have come in peace

to help me, then I will have a heart united with yours, but if to betray me

to my adversaries, when there is no violence in my hand, may the God of our

fathers see, and may He decide between us."

18 (Jdg 6:34; 2Sa 17:25)Then the Spirit came upon Amasai the captain

of the officers, and he said,

"We are for you, David,

and with you, son of Jesse.

Peace, peace to you,

and peace to the one helping you,

for your God helps you."

So David welcomed them and appointed them as captains of the troops.

19 (1Sa 29:2-9) Now some from Manasseh joined forces with David

when he came with the Philistines for battle against Saul,

but they did not help them. For after taking counsel,

the lords of the Philistines sent him away, saying,

"It will be our heads if he falls back to his lord Saul."

20 As he went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh deserted to join him:

Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai,

chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.

21 So they helped David against the bands of raiders because all of them

were mighty men of valor and commanders in the army.

22 (Ge 32:2; Jos 5:14) For at that time, day by day, they came to help

David until they became a great camp like the camp of God.

[1] Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept

himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the

mighty men, helpers of the war.

[2] They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the

left in hurling stones and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's

brethren of Benjamin.

[3] The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite;

and Jeziel, and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; and Berachah, and Jehu the

Antothite,

[4] And Ismaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the

thirty; and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan, and Josabad the

Gederathite,

[5] Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the

Haruphite,

[6] Elkanah, and Jesiah, and Azareel, and Joezer, and Jashobeam, the

Korhites,

[7] And Joelah, and Zebadiah, the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

[8] And of the Gadites there separated themselves unto David into the hold

to the wilderness men of might, and men of war fit for the battle, that

could handle shield and buckler, whose faces were like the faces of lions,

and were as swift as the roes upon the mountains;

[9] Ezer the first, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third,

[10] Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

[11] Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

[12] Johanan the eighth, Elzabad the ninth,

[13] Jeremiah the tenth, Machbanai the eleventh.

[14] These were of the sons of Gad, captains of the host: one of the least

was over an hundred, and the greatest over a thousand.

[15] These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had

overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys,

both toward the east, and toward the west.

[16] And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah to the hold unto

David.

[17] And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye

be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but

if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine

hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.

[18] Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he

said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace

be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then

David received them, and made them captains of the band.

[19] And there fell some of Manasseh to David, when he came with the

Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not: for the lords

of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He will fall to

his master Saul to the jeopardy of our heads.

[20] As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh, Adnah, and

Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai,

captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh.

[21] And they helped David against the band of the rovers: for they were all

mighty men of valour, and were captains in the host.

[22] For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it

was a great host, like the host of God.

David's Army at Hebron

23 (2Sa 2:3-4; 1Ch 11:10) Now these make up the number of the leaders equipped

for the battalion who came to David at Hebron in order to turn the kingdom

of Saul over to him, as the mouth of the Lord had spoken.

24 The sons of Judah who carried shields and spears:

six thousand eight hundred equipped for war.

25 From the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor, fit for war: 7100.

26 From the sons of the Levites: four thousand six hundred.

27 Jehoiada was the principal leader of the Aaronites,

and he brought with him three thousand seven hundred,

28 (2Sa 8:17; 1Ch 6:8) while Zadok, a brave young warrior,

brought twenty-two leaders from the house of his father.

29 (2Sa 2:8-9; 1Ch 12:2) From the sons of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul:

three thousand (up to that time the greater number of them were keeping

their loyalty with the house of Saul).

30 From the sons of Ephraim: twenty thousand eight hundred

mighty men of valor, men of reputation in the house of their fathers.

31 From the half-tribe of Manasseh:

eighteen thousand who were marked by name to come and crown David king.

32 (Est 1:13) From the sons of Issachar, those having understanding of times

and what Israel should do: two hundred of their captains

with all their brothers at their command.

33 (Ps 12:2) Of Zebulun, fifty thousand seasoned troops, equipped for battle

with all the weapons of war, to help David with singleness of purpose.

From Zebulun, those going out to war, equipped for battle with all

the weapons of war, to help David with an undivided heart: fifty thousand.

34 From Naphtali: one thousand leaders and thirty-seven thousand with shields

and spears.

35 From the Danites, competent for battle: twenty-eight thousand six hundred.

36 (1Ch 12:33) From Asher, those going out to war, arranged for battle: 40000.

37 Also from the other side of the Jordan, from the Reubenites, the Gadites,

and half of the tribe of Manasseh with all their battle array: 120000.

38 (1Ki 8:61)All these made up the men of war, arranged in ranks,

who came to Hebron with a sincere heart to make David king over all Israel,

along with the all the rest of Israel who with one heart came to make David

king.

39 Now all these were there with David three days, eating and drinking,

for their brothers had made provisions for them,

40 (1Sa 25:18; 2Sa 16:1) and also the ones who were as near to them as

Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali were bringing bread on donkeys, on camels,

on mules, and on oxen, food of fine flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, oil,

herds, and flocks in abundance, for there was joy in Israel.

Day 119, 29 Apr 2025

1) 2 Samuel 5:1-10

1 Chronicles 11,12

2 SAMUEL 5

David Anointed King Over Israel

1 Ch 11:1-3

1 (1Ch 11:1-3; Ge 29:14) All of the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron

and said, "We are your bone and flesh.

2 (1Sa 18:13; 2Sa 7:7) Previously, when Saul was king over us, you were

the one leading Israel out and in. Also, the Lord said to you:

You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over Israel."

3 (2Sa 2:4; Jdg 11:11So all of the elders of Israel came to the king

at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the Lord at Hebron.

They anointed David king over Israel.

[1] Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake,

saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

[2] Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest

out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my

people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.

[3] So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David

made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David

king over Israel.

4 (1Ch 26:31; 29:27) David was thirty years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned forty years.

5 (2Sa 2:11; 1Ch 3:4) He reigned over Judah from Hebron for seven years

and six months, and he reigned over all of Israel and Judah

from Jerusalem for 33 years.

[4] David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty

years.

[5] In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in

Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.

6 (Jdg 1:8; Jos 15:63)The king and his men went to Jerusalem against

the Jebusites, who were living in the land. They said to David,

"You will not enter here; even the blind and the lame will turn you away"

-thinking, "David cannot enter here."

7 (1Ki 2:10; 2Sa 6:12) Nevertheless, David overthrew the stronghold of Zion,

which is now the City of David.

8 David said on that day, "Whoever defeats the Jebusites, let him go through

the water shaft to reach the lame and the blind, who are despised by David."

Therefore, it is said, "The blind and lame shall not come into the house."

9 (1Ki 9:15; 9:24) So David occupied the stronghold, and he called it the

City of David. He built on all sides from the terraces inward.

10 (2Sa 3:1) David went on and became great, because the Lord,

the God of Hosts, was with him.

[6] And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the

inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take

away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David

cannot come in hither.

[7] Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of

David.

[8] And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and

smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's

soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the

lame shall not come into the house.

[9] So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David

built round about from Millo and inward.

[10] And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with

him.

1 CHRONICLES 11

David, King of Israel

2Sa 5:1-10

1 Then all Israel assembled before David at Hebron,

saying, "We are your own people, even your flesh and blood.

2 (2Sa 5:2; 7:7) Also from times past until now, even when Saul was king,

you were the one who led Israel going out and coming in,

and the Lord your God said to you, Indeed, you will shepherd

My people Israel as the ruler of Israel."

3 (1Sa 16:1; 16:12-13) Then all the elders of Israel came to King David

at Hebron, and he made a covenant with them there before the Lord.

So they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of the Lord

delivered by Samuel.

[1] Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying,

Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

[2] And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that

leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee,

Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people

Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

[3] Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David

made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David

king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

David Conquers Jerusalem

4 (Jdg 1:21; Ge 10:16) Now David and all Israel with him went to Jerusalem

(that is, Jebus, since the Jebusites still dwelt there in the land).

5 And the Jebusites said to David, "You will not come here," but he captured

the stronghold of Zion (it is the City of David).

6 (2Sa 8:16) Now David had said, "Whoever strikes Jebus first will be

the commander and leader of the army," so Joab, the son of Zeruiah,

went up first and became the commander.

7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold, which is why they called

it the City of David,

8 and he fortified the city all around from the Millo encircling

the stronghold, while Joab preserved the rest of the city.

9 (2Sa 3:1) So David kept on going, becoming greater and greater,

and the Lord of Hosts was with him.

[4] And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the

Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

[5] And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither.

Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

[6] And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and

captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

[7] And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of

David.

[8] And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab

repaired the rest of the city.

[9] So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.

David's Mighty Men

2Sa 23:8-39

10 (1Ch 11:3) Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had,

who strengthened him in his kingdom, along with all Israel,

to establish him as king according to the word of the Lord to Israel.

11 (2Sa 23:8) These make up the number of the mighty men who fought for David:

Jashobeam, the son of Hakmoni, the head of the thirty, who lifted his spear

in triumph over three hundred slain at one time.

12 (1Ch 27:4) After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite,

who was among the three mighty men.

13 He was with David at Pas Dammim when the Philistines were gathered

there for battle. There was a piece of ground full of barley.

Now the men fled from the Philistines.

14 But they stood their ground in the middle of the field, defended it,

and killed the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great victory.

15 (1Ch 14:9; Isa 17:5) Now three of the thirty captains climbed

down the rock to David at the cave of

while the camp of the Philistines was set up in the Valley of Rephaim.

16 (1Sa 10:5) (At that time, David was in the stronghold, but a garrison

of the Philistines was in Bethlehem.)

17 Now David was overcome with longing and said,

"Who will get me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem by the gate?"

18 These three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well

of Bethlehem by the gate, and carried it back to David. However, he was not

willing to drink it but poured out the water to the Lord.

19 For he said, "Far be it from me before my God to do this.

Should I drink the life blood of these men who put their lives in jeopardy?

For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore

he would not drink it.

The three mighty men did these things.

20 (1Sa 26:6) Also Abishai himself, the brother of Joab,

was a captain of the three who lifted his spear in triumph

over three hundred slain and was given a name among the three.

21 He was honored as a leader by the second company of the three,

but he did not attain to the first three.

22 (Jos 15:21; 2Sa 8:18) Benaiah son of Jehoiada was

the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds.

He killed two Moabite warriors. Indeed, once he went down into a well

and struck a lion on a snowy day.

23 (1Sa 17:7) And he killed an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits

[About 7 feet 6 inches, or 2.3 meters.] tall. The Egyptian had in his hand a

spear like a weaver's beam, and he went down to him with a staff,

wrested the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear.

24 Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, did these things, and won a name among

the three mighty men.

25 Out of the thirty captains, he himself was honored, and although

he did not attain to the three, David set him over his guard.

26 (1Ch 27:7)Now the other mighty men of valor of the army were

Asahel the brother of Joab,

Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

27 Shammoth the Harorite,

Helez the Pelonite,

28 (1Ch 27:12) Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 3 - Let the Word Dwell in You

Col 3:16

16 (Eph 5:19; Col 1:28; Ro 10:17) Let the word of Christ dwell

in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing

one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell

in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing

one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Every day, whether we are aware of it or not, our minds are

bombarded by 20th Century values: "Dress for success!" "Get ahead!"

"You deserve a break today ...." Television, radio, and the incessant

voices that surround us distract our attention and keep us from

focusing on what is really important in our lives.

Paul's instruction to the Colossian Church brings us back to God's

value system: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly."

When we give attention to the Word of God, we put ourselves in a position

to hear a higher truth the clamour of immediate demands

and the expectations of the world around us. We can experience peace

in the midst of struggle and rest in a restless environment.

God's Word is a powerful force for good in our lives - not merely

an attractive philosophy, but true power to overcome the pressures

of daily life.

Dwelling on the Word of God, and letting it indwell us, takes many forms.

Scripture memory, music, meditation, talking with others about the

goodness of God all help us keep our attention focused on Christ rather

than on the values of the world around us.

We can choose to listen to Christian radio or tapes. We can take time

daily for quiet meditation on his Word. We can commit the Word to memory

and draw on its power during the day. And as we listen to the voice

of the Spirit rather than the noise around us, we can enter into

his peace and live in communion with him.

Application

a) What pressures do I face that tend to distract me from the reality

of Christ's presence?

b) How can I "let the word of Christ dwell richly" in me, so that I

an regain my focus on him?

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

my attention on Jesus and his word?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Proverbs 10:22

22 The blessing of the Lord makes rich ,and He adds no sorrow with it.

22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it.

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

When you are Saddened by Loss

1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57

35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?

With what body do they come?"

36 You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,

perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall

all be changed.

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet,

for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible,

and we shall be changed.

53 For tis corruptible will put on incorruption,

and this mortal will put on immortality.

54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,

and this mortal will have put on immortality,

then the saying that is written shall come to pass:

"Death is swallowed up in victory."

55 "O death, where is your sting?

O grave, where is your victory?"

56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through

our Lord Jesus Christ!

35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?

and with what body do they come?

36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,

but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him,

and to every seed his own body.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall

all be changed,

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:

for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,

and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,

and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,

and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought

to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through

our Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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

9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

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

Manitoba

Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba

Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000

est Muslim Population 21 349

CNMM Networks: Winnipeg

The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.

Let us intercede in unity for:

- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support

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, ...) .

PSALMS 104

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul!

O Lord my God, You are very great!

You are clothed with honor and majesty,

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) covering Yourself with light as a garment,

who stretches out the heavens like a tent curtain,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who lays the upper beams

of His chambers on the waters above,

who makes the clouds His chariot,

who rides upon the wings of the wind,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who makes His angels as winds,

His ministers a flaming fire.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You laid the earth on its foundations,

so that it should never be moved.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You covered it with the deep as a garment;

the waters stood above the mountains.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) At Your rebuke they fled;

at the sound of Your thunder they departed away.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 ) The mountains rose up;

the valleys went down

to the place that You appointed them.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) You set a boundary that they may not pass over,

that they may not again cover the earth.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) You send the springs to gush forth in the valleys,

which flow between the hills.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) They give drink to every animal of the field;

the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation;

they sing among the branches.

13 You water the mountains from Your lofty chamber;

the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.

14 You cause the grass to grow for the cattle

and plants for the cultivation of man,

that he may bring forth food from the earth

15 and wine that makes glad the heart of man,

and oil that makes shine his face,

and bread that strengthens his heart.

16 The trees of the Lord are well watered,

the cedars of Lebanon that He has planted,

17 where the birds make their nests,

where the stork has its home in the fir trees.

18 The high mountains are for the wild goats,

and the rocks a refuge for the badgers.

19 He set the moon to mark the appointed seasons;

the sun knows its time for going down.

20 You make darkness, and it is night,

when all the animals of the forest go forth.

21 The young lions roar after their prey

and seek their food from God.

22 When the sun arises, they gather themselves together

and lay down in their dens.

23 Man goes forth to his work

and to his labor until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold are Your works!

With wisdom You have made them all;

the earth is full of Your creatures-

25 so is this great and wide sea,

which is full of innumerable creatures,

living animals both small and great.

26 There go the ships,

and there is Leviathan, which You have made to play in it.

27 These all wait upon You,

that You may give them their food in due season.

28 When You give it to them,

they gather it;

when You open Your hand,

they are filled with good food.

29 When You hide Your face,

they are troubled;

You take away their breath,

and they die and return to their dust.

30 When You send forth Your Spirit,

they are created,

and You renew the surface of the ground.

31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever;

may the Lord rejoice in His works.

32 He looks on the earth, and it trembles;

He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live;

I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34 May my meditation be sweet to Him,

for I will be glad in the Lord.

35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,

and let the wicked be no more.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 104

[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art

clothed with honour and majesty.

[2] Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out

the heavens like a curtain:

[3] Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the

clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

[4] Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

[5] Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for

ever.

[6] Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood

above the mountains.

[7] At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

[8] They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place

which thou hast founded for them.

[9] Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not

again to cover the earth.

[10] He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

[11] They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench

their thirst.

[12] By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing

among the branches.

[13] He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with

the fruit of thy works.

[14] He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service

of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

[15] And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to

shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

[16] The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he

hath planted;

[17] Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are

her house.

[18] The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the

conies.

[19] He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

[20] Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the

forest do creep forth.

[21] The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

[22] The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in

their dens.

[23] Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

[24] O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all:

the earth is full of thy riches.

[25] So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable,

both small and great beasts.

[26] There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to

play therein.

[27] These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due

season.

[28] That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are

filled with good.

[29] Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath,

they die, and return to their dust.

[30] Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the

face of the earth.

[31] The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in

his works.

[32] He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and

they smoke.

[33] I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my

God while I have my being.

[34] My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

[35] Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no

more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 121

A Song of Ascents.

1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills,

from where does my help come?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He will not let your foot slip;

He who keeps you will not slumber.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Behold, He who guards Israel

shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) The Lord is your guardian;

the Lord is your shade at your right hand.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The sun shall not harm you during the day,

nor the moon during the night.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The Lord shall protect you from all evil;

He shall preserve your soul.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord shall preserve your going out

and your coming in from now and for evermore.

Psalm 121

A Song of degrees.

[1] I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,

From whence cometh my help.

[2] My help cometh from the LORD,

Which made heaven and earth.

[3] He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:

He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

[4] Behold, he that keepeth Israel

Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

[5] The LORD is thy keeper:

The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

[6] The sun shall not smite thee by day,

Nor the moon by night.

[7] The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:

He shall preserve thy soul.

[8] The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in

From this time forth, and even for evermore.

Trina received a free ticket to a sold-out event and tucked it into her Bible.

Later, her son saw her frantically searching through the pantry. When she

explained that she'd lost her Bible, he asked why she was looking in the food

cupboard. "Because I've looked everywhere else, and the event starts in thirty

minutes," she said. "I don't want to miss one moment." Her son chuckled.

"Breathe, Mom," he said. "I think you're suffering from FOMO, the fear of

missing out." She laughed. As her son joined the search, Trina's husband

entered. "You left this in the car," he said, holding up the Bible.

While it's not wrong to enjoy unexpected blessings, big breaks, or

once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, a desire for enjoyment can easily turn into

a fear of missing out. We can even be tempted to think God holds out on us or

loses sight of us. However, the "Maker of heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:2) is

our ever-watchful and never-sleeping provider and protector (vv. 3-7). So we

don't have to fret over detours, delays, or even missed opportunities. God

will watch over our "coming and going both now and forevermore" (v. .

During times of affliction, seasons of abundance, and in every mundane moment

God plans for us in-between, we’re always in His line of sight. We won't miss

out on anything God has planned for us to experience.

Reflect & Pray

How does being in God's line of sight impact your life?

When has missing out on something led to an unexpected blessing?

Faithful God, thank You for keeping me in Your line of sight.

Day 118, 28 April 2025

1) Psalms 102,103,104

PSALMS 102

A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is overwhelmed

and pours out his complaint before the Lord.

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,

and let my cry come unto You.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Do not hide Your face from me

in the day when I am in trouble;

incline Your ear to me;

in the day when I call answer me quickly.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For my days are consumed like smoke,

and my bones are burned as a furnace.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) My heart is struck down and withered like grass,

so that I forget to eat my bread.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Because of the sound of my groaning

my bones cling to my skin.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I am like an owl of the wilderness,

like a screech owl of the desert.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) I stay awake and am

as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) My enemies reproach me all the day,

and those who taunt me curse my name.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For I have eaten ashes like bread

and mixed my drink with weeping,

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) because of Your indignation and Your wrath,

for You have lifted me up, and cast me down.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) My days are like an evening shadow that vanishes,

and I wither away like grass.

12 But You, O Lord, shall endure forever enthroned

and Your reputation to all generations.

13 You shall arise, and have mercy upon Zion,

for the time to favor her,

indeed, the appointed time has come.

14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,

and have pity on her dust.

15 So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord,

and all the kings of the earth Your glory.

16 For the Lord shall build up Zion;

He shall appear in His glory.

17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute

and will not despise their prayer.

18 Let this be written for the generation to come,

that a people who shall be created shall praise the Lord.

19 For He has looked down from the height of His sanctuary;

from heaven the Lord looked down on the earth,

20 to hear the groaning of the prisoners

and to set free those who are appointed to death,

21 that they may declare the name of the Lord in Zion

and His praise in Jerusalem;

22 when the peoples are gathered together,

and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

23 He has weakened my strength in my midlife;

He has shortened my days.

24 I said,

"O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days-

Your years endure throughout all generations."

25 From before You have laid the foundation of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

26 They shall perish, but You shall endure;

indeed, all of them shall wear out like a garment;

like a robe You shall change them,

and they shall pass away,

27 but You are the same,

and Your years shall have no end.

28 The children of Your servants shall be secure,

and their offspring shall be established before You.

Psalm 102

[1] Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

[2] Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine

ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

[3] For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

[4] My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my

bread.

[5] By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

[6] I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

[7] I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

[8] Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me

are sworn against me.

[9] For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

[10] Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up,

and cast me down.

[11] My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

[12] But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all

generations.

[13] Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her,

yea, the set time, is come.

[14] For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust

thereof.

[15] So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of

the earth thy glory.

[16] When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

[17] He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their

prayer.

[18] This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which

shall be created shall praise the LORD.

[19] For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven

did the LORD behold the earth;

[20] To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed

to death;

[21] To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

[22] When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the

LORD.

[23] He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

[24] I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years

are throughout all generations.

[25] Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are

the work of thy hands.

[26] They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax

old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be

changed:

[27] But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.

[28] The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be

established before thee.

PSALMS 103

A Psalm of David.

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord does righteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the people of Israel.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He will not always accuse,

neither will He keep his anger forever.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He does not treat us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.

14 For He knows how we are formed;

He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass;

as a flower of the field he flourishes.

16 For the hot wind passes over it, and it is gone;

the place where it was is not known.

17 But the mercy of the Lord

is from everlasting to everlasting

upon those who fear Him,

and His righteousness to children's children,

18 to those who keep His covenant,

and to those who remember to do His commandments.

19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,

and His kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,

who are mighty, and do His commands,

and obey the voice of His word.

21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts;

you servants who do His pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all His works,

in all places of His dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

Psalm 103

[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy

name.

[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

[3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

[4] Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with

lovingkindness and tender mercies;

[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed

like the eagle's.

[6] The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are

oppressed.

[7] He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

[8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in

mercy.

[9] He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

[10] He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to

our iniquities.

[11] For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward

them that fear him.

[12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our

transgressions from us.

[13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that

fear him.

[14] For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

[15] As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he

flourisheth.

[16] For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof

shall know it no more.

[17] But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them

that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

[18] To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his

commandments to do them.

[19] The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom

ruleth over all.

[20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his

commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

[21] Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his

pleasure.

[22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the

LORD, O my soul.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 2 - Growing Up

2 Tim 3:16-17

16 (Ro 15:4) All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable

for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction

in righteousness,

17 (1Ti 6:11; 2Ti 2:21) that the man of God may be complete,

thoroughly equipped for every good work.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable

for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction

in righteousness:

17 that the man of God may be perfect,

throughly furnished unto all good works.

"I can't wait till I get big!" Marc, age 5, declared. "Then I do

what I want!" Most of us, as children, shared Marc's statement.

We looked forward to that "magic age" - 16, 18, 21 - when we

would be adults: mature, able to make our own decisions.

We find, of course, that adulthood has its own share of

difficulties and conflicts. But even in our spiritual lives

we often long for a "magic moment" of maturity. As one woman

confessed, "Ever since I became a Christian, I've hoped I'd wake up

one morning to find myself mature."

But growth in the spiritual life comes gradually, like growth in

the physical world. In 2 Tim 2:16-17, Paul gives the young pastor

Timothy an important key to spiritual growing up - the Word of God.

The Word is "profitable" or "useful," Paul says, for "teaching" - that is,

for developing a right concept of God. Scripture offers "rebuke" when

we go wrong, "correction" to set us on the right path, and "training

in righteousness" so that we can grow in the image of Christ.

The purpose of Scripture's work in our lives, Paul emphasises,

is that we may be "perfect" - mature, equipped for the good things

God has for us to do. Such maturity does not come easily

or instantaneously, but it does come - sometimes imperceptibly -

as we submit our lives to the transforming power of God's Word.

Application

a) In what areas of my life do I need to grow? How can I benefit

from the Bible's

i) teaching?

ii) rebuke?

iii) correction?

iv) training in righteousness?

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.

est Muslim Population 21 349

CNMM Networks: Winnipeg

The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.

Let us intercede in unity for:

- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support

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, ...) .
