1 Kings 7

Solomon's Palace Built



1 (1Ki 9:10; 2Ch 8:1) Solomon was building his own house for thirteen years,

and he finished all his house.

2 (1Ki 10:17; 2Ch 9:16( He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

Its length was a hundred cubits, and its width was fifty cubits,

and its height was thirty cubits, [About 150 feet long, 7

5 feet wide and 45 feet high,

or 45 meters long, 23 meters wide and 14 meters high. ]

built on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams upon the pillars.

3 It was covered with cedar over the top of the beams,

which sat upon 45 pillars, fifteen in a row.

4 There were window frames in three rows and window opposite

window in three tiers.

5 All the doors and posts were rectangular with the openings facing

each other in three tiers.

6 He made a porch of pillars with a length of fifty cubits

and a breadth of thirty cubits.

[About 75 feet long and 45 feet wide, or 23 meters long and 14 meters wide.]

There was a porch in front with pillars, and a canopy in front of them.

7 (Ps 122:5; Pr 20:8) Then he made a porch for the throne,

from which he would judge, and called it the Hall of Judgment.

It was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8 (1Ki 3:1; 2Ch 8:11) His own house where he lived, in the other court back

of the hall, was similar in style. Solomon also made a house like this

for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.

9 All these were built with costly stones, cut to size and sawed

with saws on the inside and outside, from the foundation up to the coping,

throughout the outside toward the great court.

10 The foundation was of large, costly stones, stones of ten

[About 15 feet, or 4.5 meters; and in v. 23.] and 8

[About 12 feet, or 3.6 meters.] cubits in size.

11 Above were costly stones cut to size, along with cedars.

12 (1Ki 6:36) The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewed

stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house

of the Lord and the porch of the house.



Solomon's House



1 But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years,

and he finished all his house.

2 He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon;

the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof

fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits,

upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams,

that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.

4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against

light in three ranks.

5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows:

and light was against light in three ranks.

6 And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits,

and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them:

and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.

7 Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge,

even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from

one side of the floor to the other.

8 And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was

of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he

had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

9 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones,

sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping,

and so on the outside toward the great court.

10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten

cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones,

and cedars.

12 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and

a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD,

and for the porch of the house.



The Furnishings of the Temple



2Ch 4:2-5:1



13 (2Ch 4:11) Now King Solomon sent and called Huram out of Tyre.

14 (2Ch 2:14; 4:16) He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali,

and his father was a man of Tyre who worked in bronze, and he was filled

with wisdom and understanding and skill to make all sorts of items in bronze.

So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

15 (Jer 52:21; 1Ki 7:21) He cast two pillars of bronze

eighteen cubits high each and twelve cubits

[About 27 feet high and 18 feet in circumference,

or 8.1 meters high and 5.4 meters in circumference.]

in circumference.

16 He made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars.

The height of the one capital was five cubits,

[About 15 pounds, or 6.9 kilograms; and in v. 29.]

and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

17 He made lattices of checker work with wreaths of chainwork

for the capitals on top of the pillars: seven for one capital

and seven for the other.

18 Likewise he made pomegranates in two rows around

the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar,

and he did the same for the other capital.

19 The capitals that were on top of the pillars in the porch were four cubits

[About 6 feet, or 1.8 meters; and in v. 38. ] high and in the shape of lilies.

20 (2Ch 3:16; 4:13) The capitals on top of the two pillars also had

pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the latticework.

There were two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.

21 (2Ch 3:17; 1Ki 6:3) He set up the pillars in the porch of the temple.

He set up the right pillar and called it Jakin,

and he set up the left pillar and called it Boaz.

22 The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies.

This completed the work on the pillars.

23 (2Ki 25:13; 2Ch 4:2) He made a cast metal sea, ten cubits from one side

to the other. It was round and had a height of five cubits,

and a line of thirty cubits [About 45 feet, or 14 meters.] encircled it.

24 (1Ki 6:18; 2Ch 4:3) Under the brim all the way around there were gourds,

ten in a cubit. When it was cast, the gourds were placed in two rows going

all the way around it.

25 (Jer 52:20; 2Ch 4:4-5) It stood on top of twelve oxen with three facing

north, three facing toward the west, three facing toward the south,

and three facing toward the east. The sea was set on them,

and their hindquarters were turned inward.

26 (2Ch 4:5) It was a hand-breadth [About 3 inches, or 7.5 centimeters].

thick, and the brim was made similar to the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom.

It could hold two thousand baths.[About 12,000 gallons, or 44,000 liters.

27 (2Ch 4:14; 2Ki 25:13) He made ten stands out of bronze,

each measuring four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

[About 6 feet long and wide and 4 1/2 feet high, or 1.8 meters long

and wide and 1.4 meters high. ]

28 The work of the stands looked like this: They had panels,

and the panels were set in the frames.

29 And on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen,

and cherubim. On the frames both above and below the lions and oxen,

there were wreaths of beveled work.

30 Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze,

and at the four corners were supports for a basin.

The supports were cast with wreaths at the side of each.

31 Its opening was within a crown that projected upward one cubit.

Its opening was round, like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half deep.

[About 2 1/4 feet, or 68 centimeters; and in v. 32.]

At its opening there were engravings, and its panels were four-sided,

not round.

32 Underneath the panels were four wheels, and the axles of the wheels

were joined to the stand, and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

33 The wheels worked like chariot wheels in that their axles

and rims and spokes and hubs were all cast metal.

34 There were four supports for the four corners of each stand,

and the supports were part of one piece with the stand itself.

35 On the top of the stand, there was a round band half a cubit

[About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.] high, and on the top of the stand

its stays and its panels were of one piece with it.

36On the surface of its stays and on its panels, he engraved cherubim,

lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each,

with wreaths all around.

37 In this way he made the ten stands, with them

all having the same shape, measure, and size.

38 Then he made ten basins of bronze, with each basin able to hold forty baths,

[About 240 gallons, or 880 liters]. each being four cubits.

Upon every one of the ten stands sat one basin.

39 He put five stands on the right side of the house,

and five on the left side of the house.

He set the sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.

40 (2Ch 4:11-16) Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.

So Huram finished all the work in making items for King Solomon

for use in the house of the Lord: 41the two pillars, the two bowls

of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, the two latticeworks

to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;

42 (1Ki 7:20) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks,

two rows of pomegranates for each latticework,

to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;

43 the ten stands and ten basins on the stands;

44 one sea and twelve oxen under the sea;

45Ex 27:3; 38:3the pots, the shovels, and the basins.

All these vessels that Huram made for King Solomon for the house

of the Lord were of burnished bronze.

46 (Jos 3:16; Ge 33:17) In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them,

in the clay ground between Sukkoth and Zarethan.

47 (1Ch 22:14; 22:3) Solomon left all the vessels unweighed

because there were so many. The weight of the bronze was also never measured.

48 (Ex 37:10-16; 2Ch 4:8) Solomon made all the vessels that were needed

for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, the table of gold on

which was showbread,

49 (2Ch 4:7) the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side

and five on the left before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps,

and the tongs, of gold;

50 the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, fire pans, of pure gold;

the sockets for the doors of the innermost part of the house,

the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple, of gold.

Revelation 21:1-5



The New Heaven and the New Earth



1 (Isa 66:22; 2Pe 3:13) Then I saw "a new heaven and a new earth."(Isa 65:17.)

For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no

more sea.

2 (Heb 11:10; Rev 3:12) I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem,

coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned

for her husband.

3 (2Co 6:16; Rev 7:15) And I heard a loud voice from heaven, saying,

"Look! The tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them.

They shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them

and be their God.

4 (Isa 25:8; 35:10; 1Co 15:26) 'God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

There shall be no more death.'(Isa 25:8.) Neither shall there be any more

sorrow nor crying nor pain, for the former things have passed away."

5 (Rev 4:9; 20:11) He who was seated on the throne said,

"Look! I am making all things new." Then He said to me,

"Write, for these words are faithful and true."



[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the

first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of

heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle

of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his

people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

[4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no

more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more

pain: for the former things are passed away.

[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And

he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.



Visiting Switzerland had been my dad's lifelong dream. After his diagnosis of

frontotemporal dementia, my mom decided to go with him while he was still

physically able. "One day, with the snow blowing around us on Mount Titlis,"

she said, "I saw the profound joy in your father's face. It was the joy of a

dream come true." Later, however, my mom's tears flowed

when my dad asked, "Where are we again?"



My dad may have forgotten he was in Switzerland, but "the visit was worth it,"

my mom said. "At least for one moment, he knew, and he was happy."



God reassures us of a time when joy will never be taken away from us again.

Because of our hope in Jesus, we can look forward to "a new heaven and a new

earth" (Revelation 21:1), where we'll be free from sin

and death (Romans 5:12). In this perfect world, God will make "everything

new" (Revelation 21:5). " 'He will wipe every tear from [our] eyes. There will

be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things

has passed away" (v. 4). Whatever suffering we experience now is temporary.

God promises that one day "the former things will not

be remembered" (Isaiah 65:17). They will forever be no more.



I know that one day, when we're with God (Revelation 21:3), I'll see profound

joy on Daddy's face. This time, it will stay.



Reflect & Pray



How does the hope of your future dwelling place give you hope now?

What do you look forward to seeing there?



Dear Jesus, I praise You. One day, You'll make all things new.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 4 - Giving and Receiving



Luke 6:38



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

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

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



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

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

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured

to you again.



"Just give the Lord", the voice on the radio declared. "Give, and he will

give back to you, a hundredfold." The preacher went on to explain how

an old woman on social security had sent her last $10 to support his

ministry, and the next day she got an anonymous money order for

a $1000 . "The Lord will be faithful to his Word," the preacher

concluded. "You give, and you'll receive."

The Lord is, of course, faithful to his Word. But many well-meaning Christians

have interpreted Luke 6:38 as a "payment in kind" bargain with God:

if I give God my dollar, he's obliged to return it to me with interest.

This "seed-sowing" fallacy, where $20 supposedly becomes $2000 by

an act of divine, multiplication, has caused much

disappointment and frustration.

The "giving and receiving" principle is a valid one; the Lord does, indeed say

"Give, and it will be given to you," but he does not specify what the "return"

will be. The verse appears in the context of forgiveness, of not judging; the

principle is not investment, in any material sense, but generosity.

As we give, as few are compassionate with others, we take on the

character of the Lord himself. He is generous and giving, and he gives

to us as we give ourselves in love to others.



Application



a) Have I ever "given" to God to others as a bribe, to get something

in return?



b) What is God's concept of giving, as demonstrated

in the gift of Jesus Christ?



c) How can this verse help me to give more selflessly?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 28:11



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

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

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

to your fathers to give you.



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

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

which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.



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



When you are lonely



1 John 4:16b-18



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

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

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

so are we in this world.

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

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

Whoever fears is not perfect in love.



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

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

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

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

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



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

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



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



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.

2 Chronicles 3

The Temple Building

1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount

Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the place that

David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month,

in the fourth year of his reign.

3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building

of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure

was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was

according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was

an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with

fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.

6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty:

and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof,

and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls.

8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the

breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits:

and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold.

And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work,

and overlaid them with gold.

11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing

of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house:

and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of

the other cherub.

12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall

of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing

of the other cherub.

13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits:

and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson,

and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.



2 Chronicles 3:15-17



15 And he made two pillars in front of the house35 cubits

[About 53 feet, or 16 meters. high, ] with a five cubit capital on the top

of the pillar.

16 (1 Ki 7:20) Then he made ornamental chain work,

like in the Most Holy Place, and set it on the top of the pillars.

Then he designed a hundred pomegranates and set them on the chain work.

17 (1Ki 7:21) He then raised the pillars in front of the temple, with one

on the right to the south and the other on the left to the north,

and the pillar to the south he called Jakin,

and the pillar to the north he called Boaz.



15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high,

and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the

pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand,

and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand

Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.



1 Kings 6



14 (1Ki 6:9; 6:38) So Solomon built the house and finished it.

15 (1Ki 7:7) He built the interior walls of the house with boards of cedar.

From the floor of the house to the ceiling, he covered them on the inside

with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.

16 (1Ki 8:6; 2Ch 3:8) He lined twenty cubits on the sides of the house,

both the floor and the walls, with boards of cedar, and he even lined

them within, even the inner sanctuary and the Most Holy Place.

17 The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary,

was forty cubits [About 60 feet, or 18 meters. long. ]

18 (1Ki 7:24) The cedar of the house within had carvings of gourds

and open flowers. All was cedar. There was no stone seen.

19 He prepared the inner sanctuary in the inner part of the house

in order to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide,

and twenty cubits high. He overlaid it with pure gold.

He also overlaid the altar of cedar.

21 So Solomon overlaid the interior of the house with pure gold,

and he made a partition with gold chains in front of the inner sanctuary,

and he overlaid it with gold.

22 (Ex 30:1; 30:3) He overlaid the whole house with gold as well as

the whole altar that was by the inner sanctuary.

23 (Ex 37:7-9) Within the inner sanctuary, he made two cherubim

from olive wood, each ten cubits high.

24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing

was also five cubits. From the furthest part of the one wing

to the furthest part of the other was ten cubits.

25 The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were

the same shape and size.

26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits,

and so was that of the other cherub.

27 (Ex 25:20; 37:9) He set the cherubim within the inner sanctuary,

and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing

of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub

touched the other wall, and their wings touched

one another in the middle of the house.

28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29 (1Ki 6:32) He carved all the walls of the house with carved figures

of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers both inside and out.

30 He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, both inside and out.

31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood;

the lintel and doorposts were 5-sided.

32 The two doors were also made of olive wood. He carved on them cherubim,

palm trees, and open flowers, overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon

the cherubim and upon the palm trees.

33 So also he made for the entrance to the nave four-sided posts of olive wood.

34 (Eze 41:23-25) The two doors were made from fir tree,

with two leaves of each door folding.

35 He carved on them cherubim and palm trees and open flowers and covered them

with gold fitted upon the carved work.

36 (1Ki 7:12) He built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone

and a row of cedar beams.

37 (1Ki 6:1) In the fourth year, in the month Ziv,

the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid,

38 and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul (which is the eighth month),

the house was completely finished. All the details and plans were met.

So he took seven years to build it.



14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

15 And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar,

both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling:

and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor

of the house with planks of fir.

16 And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor

and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within,

even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.

17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.

18 And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers:

all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

19 And the oracle he prepared in the house within,

to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length,

and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof:

and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was

of cedar.

21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a

partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with

gold.

22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the

house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.

23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits

high.

24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other

wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost

part of the other were ten cubits.

25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one

measure and one size.

26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits,

and so was it of the other cherub.

27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched

forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one

wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their

wings touched one another in the midst of the house.

28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.

29 And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures

of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.

30 And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

31 And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree:

the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.

32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings

of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold,

and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.

33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree,

a fourth part of the wall.

34 And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door

were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

35 And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers:

and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.

36 And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone,

and a row of cedar beams.

37 In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid,

in the month Zif:

38 and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month,

was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according

to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

2 Chronicles 2

Building the Temple

1 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and

an house for his kingdom.

2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens,

and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain,

and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal

with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house

to dwell therein, even so deal with me.

4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it

to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread,

and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the

new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance

for ever to Israel.

5 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.

6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of

heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house,

save only to burn sacrifice before him?

7 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in

brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill

to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem,

whom David my father did provide.

8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for

I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold,

my servants shall be with thy servants,

9 even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about

to build shall be wonderful great.

10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber,

twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of

barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon,

Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.

12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven

and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence

and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house

for his kingdom.

13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram

my father's,

14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man

of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron,

in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen,

and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every

device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men,

and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.

15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which

my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:

16 and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need:

and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa;

and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.



Foreign Labour



17 (1Ch 22:2) Then Solomon numbered all the male foreigners who were

in the land of Israel, after the census that David his father had taken.

And there were found one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.

18 (2Ch 2:2) And he made seventy thousand of them to carry materials,

eighty thousand to cut stone in the hills, and three thousand six hundred

supervisors to make the people work.



17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel,

after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them;

and they were found

an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens,

and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain,

and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.



1 Kings 6



Solomon Builds the Temple



(2Ch 3:1-14)

1 (2Ch 3:1-2; Ac 7:47) In the four hundred and eightieth year

after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt,

in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv

(which is the second month), he began to build the house of the Lord.

2 (Eze 40:1-41; 41:1-15) The house which King Solomon built for the Lord

had a length of sixty cubits, a width of twenty cubits,

and a height of thirty cubits. [About 90 feet long, 30 feet wide,

and 45 feet high, or 27 meters long, 9 meters wide, and 14 meters high.]

3 The porch in front of the temple was twenty cubits

[About 30 feet, or 9 meters; and in vv. 16 and 20. in length,]

the same as the width of the house, and ten cubits

[About 15 feet, or 4.5 meters; and in vv. 23-26. deep in front of the house.

4 (Eze 40:16; 41:16) He made beveled windows for the house.

5 (1Ki 6:16; 6:19-21) He also built a structure against the wall of the house,

running around the walls of the house, both of the temple

and of the inner sanctuary, and he made side chambers all around.

6 The lowest story was five cubits

[About 7 1/2 feet, or 2.3 meters; and in vv. 10 and 24.]

broad, the middle one was six cubits [About 9 feet, or 2.7 meters. ]

broad, and the third was seven cubits [About 11 feet, or 3.2 meters.]

broad. For around the outside of the house, he made offsets on the wall

so that the supporting beams should not be inserted

into the walls of the house.

7 (Dt 27:5-6) The house was built of stone prepared at the quarry,

so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard

in the house while it was being built.

8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house,

and it had winding stairs into the middle chamber

and out of the middle into the third.

9 (1Ki 6:14; 6:38) So he built the house and finished it and covered it

with beams and boards of cedar.

10 Then he built chambers against the whole house, five cubits high,

and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,

12 (1Ch 22:10) "Concerning this house which you are building,

if you will walk in My statutes and execute My judgments and keep all

My commandments and walk in them, then I will carry out My word

with you, which I spoke to David your father,

13 ( Ex 25:8; Dt 31:6) and I will dwell among the people of Israel

and will not forsake My people Israel."



1 Kings 6

1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the

children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year

of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month,

that he began to build the house of the LORD.



The House of the Lord



2 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was

threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height

thereof thirty cubits.

3 And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length

thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth

thereof before the house.

4 And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.

5 And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the

walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he

made chambers round about:

6 the nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits

broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the

house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be

fastened in the walls of the house.

7 And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before

it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool

of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they

went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle

into the third.

9 So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams

and boards of cedar.

10 And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high:

and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

11 And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,

12 Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in

my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk

in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David

thy father:

13 and I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake

my people Israel.



2 Chronicles 3



Solomon Builds the Temple



1Ki 6:1-29



1 (1Ch 21:18; Ge 22:2) So Solomon began to build the house of the Lord

in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where He appeared to David his father,

at the place that David established

on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 He began to build in the second month Ziv or Iyyar in the Hebrew calendar.

on the second day during the fourth year of his reign.

(April or May in 966 BC.)

3 (1Ki 6:2-3) These are the foundation measurements that Solomon

used for building the house of God. The cubit [The Egyptian cubit

had a royal measure of 20.6 inches (52.3cm)

and a commercial measure of 17.6 inches (44.7 cm). ] The cubit standards

in Egypt and Mesopotamia were slightly different. length in the former

standard measure was sixty cubits and the width twenty cubits.

[About 90 feet long and 30 feet wide, or 27 meters long and 9 meters wide].

4 The porch vestibule that was in front of the nave hall had its length,

like the width of the house, as twenty cubits,

[About 30 feet, or 9 meters; and in vv. 8, 11, and 13.]

and its height was one hundred and twenty cubits;

[About 180 feet, or 54 meters. ]

and he overlaid the inside with pure gold.

5 And he paneled the great house with cypress trees and then covered it

with fine gold. Then he decorated it with palm trees and chain work.

6 And he overlaid the house with precious stones for decoration,

and the gold was from Parvaim.

7 (1Ki 6:20-22) And he covered the house-its beams, thresholds,

walls, and doors-with gold, and he engraved cherubim on the walls.

8 (Ex 26:33) Then he made the dwelling of the Most Holy Place.

Its length was as the width of twenty cubits, and its width

also twenty cubits; and he covered it with fine gold, six hundred talents

[About 23 tons, or 21 metric tons. ] worth.

9 And the weight in gold for the nails was fifty shekels.

[About 1 1/4 pounds, or 575 grams.] And he covered the upper chamber in gold.

10 (1Ki 6:23-28) Then in the dwelling of the Most Holy Place, he made

two cherubim that were cast metal and overlaid them with gold.

11 And the wings of the cherubim were the length of twenty cubits.

The wing of one cherub was five cubits, reaching the wall of the house,

and the wing of the other was five cubits,

[About 7 1/2 feet, or 2.3 meters; and in v. 15. ]reaching to the wing

of the other cherub.

12 And the wing of this cherub was five cubits, reaching to the other wall

of the house, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing

of the first cherub.

13 So the wings of these cherubim spread out were twenty cubits;

they were upright on their feet facing inward toward the house.

14 (Heb 9:3) Then he made the curtain of violet, purple, crimson,

and blue thread, and he wove cherubim into it.

Plans to Build the Temple



2Ch 2:1-18



1 (2Sa 5:11; 1Ch 14:1) Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon,

for he had heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father,

and Hiram had always loved David.

2 (2Ch 2:3)And Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,

3 (1Ch 28:3; 22:8) "You know how David my father was unable to build a house

for the name of the Lord his God because of the wars all around him,

until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.

4 (1Ki 4:24; 1Ch 22:9) But now the Lord my God has given me peace

on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor misfortune.

5 (1Ch 17:12; 22:10) So know that I plan to build a house to honor the name

of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying,

'Your son, whom I will set on your throne after you,

shall build a house to honor My name.'

6 (2Ch 2:8) "Now therefore command that cedar trees from Lebanon be

cut down for me, and my servants shall be with your servants,

and I will pay your servants whatever you command, for you know

that there are none among my people who can cut timber like the Sidonians."

7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said,

"Blessed be the Lord this day, who has given David

a wise son over this great people."

8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying,

"I have considered the things which you contacted me about,

and I will do all you asked concerning timber of cedar and fir.

9 (Ezr 3:7; Eze 27:17) My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon

to the sea, and I will send them by sea in floats to the place that you shall

name and will cause them to be discharged into your care there,

and in return you will meet my wishes by giving food for my household."

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees as he desired.

11 (2Ch 2:10) Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors

[Likely about 3,600 tons, or 3,250 metric tons.] of wheat for his household

and twenty baths

[About 120,000 gallons, or 440,000 liters.] of pure oil. This is what Solomon

gave to Hiram each year.

12 (1Ki 3:12; Am 1:9) The Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as He promised,

and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon as they made a treaty together.

13 (1Ki 9:15; 4:6) King Solomon drafted men from all Israel,

totaling 30000 men.

14 He sent them to Lebanon in turns, ten thousand a month,

with each spending a month in Lebanon and two months at home.

Adoniram administered the labor force.

15 (1Ki 9:20-22; 2Ch 2:17-18) Solomon had seventy thousand porters

and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountains,

16 (1Ki 9:23; 2Ch 2:2) not counting the chief of Solomon's officers

who were over the work, three thousand three hundred,

who ruled over the people who did the work.

17 (1Ki 6:7; 1Ch 22:2) At the king's command, they quarried out great,

costly stones in order to lay the foundation of the house with dressed stones.

18 (Jos 13:5; Eze 27:9) Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders, along

with the stonemasons, cut them and prepared timber and stones

to build the house.



1 Kings 5

Building the Temple

1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that

they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a

lover of David.

2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the

name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side,

until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there

is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.

5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God,

as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set

upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.

6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon;

and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire

for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest

that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the

Sidonians.

7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced

greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a

wise son over this great people.

8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou

sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar,

and concerning timber of fir.

9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will

convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and

will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou

shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees

according to all his desire.

11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his

household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year

by year.

12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace

between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.

13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty

thousand men.

14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they

were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.

15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens,

and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;

16 beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three

thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought

in the work.

17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones,

and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the

stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.



2 Chronicles 2

Plans for Building the Temple



1 Ki 5:1-16

1 (1Ki 5:5; Dt 12:5) Now Solomon wanted to build a temple for the name

of the Lord and a royal house for his kingship.

2 (2Ch 2:18; 1Ki 5:15-16) And Solomon designated seventy thousand men

to carry materials, eighty thousand men to cut stone in the hills,

and three thousand six hundred supervisors to oversee these men.

3 (1Ch 14:1; 2Sa 5:11) And Solomon sent word to Hiram [Huram in the Heb.

text. king of Tyre] saying,

"As you did for David my father and sent him cedar trees in order to build

for himself a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.

4 (Ex 30:7; 25:30) I am going to build a temple for the name of the Lord

my God, sanctified for Him, for making sacrifices before Him,

and for incense of fragrant spices, and for the continual showbread,

for burnt offerings on both morning and evening, and for Sabbaths,

New Moons, and appointed feasts of the Lord our God,

as an ordinance forever for Israel.

5 (1Ch 16:25; Ex 15:11) "And the house that I am building will be great

because our God is greater than all other gods.

6 (1Ki 8:27; 2Ch 6:18) But who is able to build a house for Him,

since the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him?

Who am I that I build a house for Him, except to make offerings before Him?

7 (Ex 31:3-5; 1Ch 22:15-16) "Now may you send to me a wise man who works

with gold, silver, bronze, iron, and in purple, crimson, and violet threads

and knows how to engrave, who will be with the skilled workers

and me in Judah and Jerusalem, which David my father established.

8 (1Ki 5:6) "And may you send me trees of cedar, cypress, and algum

from Lebanon because I realize that your slaves know how to cut timber

in Lebanon; and my servants will be alongside your servants,

9 to prepare an abundance of timber for me, because the temple that I will

build will be great and marvelous.

10 (1Ki 5:11) I will provide for the woodsmen, your servants who cut timber,

twenty thousand dry kors [Likely about 3,600 tons, or 3,200 metric tons]

of wheat. of crushed wheat, twenty thousand kors

[Likely about 3,000 tons, or 2,700 metric tons] of barley. of barley,

twenty thousand liquid baths

[About 120,000 gallons, or 440,000 liters.] of wine, and twenty thousand

liquid baths of oil."

11 (1Ki 10:9; 2Ch 9:8) Then Hiram king of Tyre responded

in a letter that he sent to Solomon,

"Because the Lord loves His people, He has made you king over them."

12 (Ps 33:6) And Hiram said,

"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel who made heaven and earth

and has given King David a wise son, having insight and understanding,

who is building a temple for the Lord and a royal house for his kingship.

13 "And now I have sent a skilled man, endowed with understanding, Huram-Abi,

14 (2Ch 2:7) the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan

and the son of a man of Tyre, who knows gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone,

wood, and purple, violet, blue, and crimson threads, and who knows how

to make all types of engravings and to devise every type of design

that is given to him, with your skilled men and the skilled men of my lord

David your father.

15 (2Ch 2:10)"Now the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine that my lord

has declared, may he send these items to his slaves.

16 (Jos 19:46; 1Ki 5:8-9) And let us cut the timber from Lebanon,

whatever you need, and we will bring it to you on rafts on the sea to Joppa,

and you will bring it up to Jerusalem."

Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



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

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

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



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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



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

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

Isaiah 14:12-15



12 (Lk 10:18; 2Pe 1:19) How are you fallen from heaven,

O Lucifer, son of the morning!

How you are cut down to the ground,

you who weaken the nations!

13 (Eze 28:2) For you have said in your heart,

"I will ascend into heaven,

I will exalt my throne

above the stars of God;

I will sit also on the mount of the congregation,

in the recesses of the north;

14 (Isa 47:8; 2Th 2:4) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,

I will be like the Most High."

15 (Mt 11:23; Eze 32:23) Yet you shall be brought down to Hell,

to the sides of the pit.



[12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art

thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

[13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will

exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of

the congregation, in the sides of the north:

[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most

High.

[15] Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Please note:



Luke 10



The Return of the Seventy



17Mk 16:17; Lk 10:1The seventy returned with joy, saying,

"Lord, even the demons are subject to us through Your name."

18 (Rev 9:1; Isa 14:12) He said to them, "I saw Satan as lightning

fall from heaven.

19 (Mk 16:18; Ps 91:13) Look, I give you authority to trample

on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.

And nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 (Ex 32:32; Ps 69:28) Nevertheless do not rejoice that the spirits

are subject to you, but rather rejoice that your names are written in heaven."



Also note from Isa 14:12 - there is a satanic and erroroneous reference

in Is 14:12 to morning star. Why do I say that?



Revelation 22:16 MEV

16 "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to you with this testimony for the churches.

I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."



Satan is never the Morning star!

The ceiling of London's Banqueting House is magnificent. Painted by Sir Peter

Paul Rubens between 1629 and 1634, it was commissioned by King Charles I to

glorify his family's reign. In one painting, the goddess Minerva celebrates

the achievements of Charles' father, King James I. In another, James is

carried to heaven on the wings of an eagle. Gazing up at the ceiling, banquet

guests got a clear message: Kings like Charles and his father were virtually

divine.



In the prophet Isaiah's day, the king of Babylon felt similarly about himself.

Here was a king who longed to "ascend to the heavens" and "sit . . . on the

mount of assembly," where the gods were thought to reign (Isaiah 14:13).

Instead, Isaiah prophesied that this king would fall (vv. 3-4), being

"brought down to the realm of the dead" (v. 15) without even a tomb to be

remembered by (vv. 18-19). Charles I met a similar fate. In an ironic twist,

he was marched beneath the very ceiling depicting his supposed divinity

before being executed outside Banqueting House in 1649.



It's a sad fact that has repeated through time: Powerful people who claim

divine glory for themselves will one day discover how human they are. For

there is only one who is worthy of reigning from heaven, and all power,

glory, and majesty are His alone (1 Chronicles 29:11).



Reflect & Pray



Why do you think rulers throughout history have claimed divinity for

themselves? How does Jesus compare to the attitude of such rulers?



Heavenly Father, You are God, and all power and glory are Yours!

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 3 - All I need



Phil 4:19



19 But my God shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



19 But my God shall supply all your need according

to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



"But Mom, I really need these!" The strident voice of a teenage girl

rose above the hum of voices in the department store. The item in question

was a pair of $80 blue Jeans, faded, bleached, and torn in the right knee.

Style . Fashion. Self-Image. The girl may not have needed the jeans to

enhance her wardrobe, but she obviously felt she needed then to

enhance her acceptability among her peers.

Phillippains 4:19 promises that God "shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." But just what needs does this

promise cover? My need for a bigger house? A better job?

An $80 pair of Calvin Kleins?

Certainly God knows and cares about the physical, superficial need of our

lives, and he provides what we need to sustain life. But God's priority

goes much deeper than the kind of radial tires we buy or the brand name on

our back pockets. God is interested in eternal values, in spiritual needs, and

he knows what we need in our lives to draw us closer to him.

"Out of his glorious riches in Christ Jesus," God will enrich us spiritually.

The application of Phil 4:19 involves trusting God to know and care about our

real needs, the deep needs of our souls, and allowing him the freedom to

order our circumstances so that those needs are met. When we are bold

enough to pray, "Lord, do whatever is necessary to make me more like

Jesus Christ," our Father delights to answer that prayer and supply our needs.



Application



a) What is the difference between my "Needs" and my "wants"?



b) What spiritual needs can I identify in my life?



c) How can this verse help me keep my own priorities

in line with God's value system?



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.

20 (Isa 5:22; Ro 13:13) Do not be among winebibbers,

and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

Who has contentions? Who has babbling?

those who go to seek mixed wine.

31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,

when it sparkles in the cup,

when it swirls around smoothly;

32 at the last it bites like a serpent,

and stings like a viper.

33 Your eyes will see strange things,

and your heart will utter perverse things.

34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea,

or as he who lies upon the top of a mast.

35 (Isa 56:12; Jer 5:3) "They have stricken me," you will say,

And stingeth like an adder.

And thine heart shall utter perverse things.

34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea,

Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.

10 (Job 4:5) If you faint in the day of adversity,

your strength is small.

11 (Ps 82:4; Isa 58:6-7) If you refrain to deliver those

who are drawn unto death,

and those who are ready to be slain;

12 (Job 34:11; 1Sa 16:7) if you say, "Surely we did not know this,"

does not He who ponders the heart consider it?

And He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?

And will He not render to every man according to his works?



10 If thou faint in the day of adversity,

Thy strength is small.

11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death,

And those that are ready to be slain;

12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not;

Doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it?

And he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it?

And shall not he render to every man according to his works?



Saying Twenty-Six



13 (SS 5:1; Pr 25:16) My son, eat honey because it is good,

and the honeycomb that is sweet to your taste;

14 (Pr 23:18; Ps 119:103) so shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;

when you have found it, then there will be a reward,

and your expectation will not be cut off.



13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good;

And the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

14 So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul:

When thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward,

And thy expectation shall not be cut off.



Saying Twenty-Seven



15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

do not spoil his resting place;

16 (Job 5:19; Ps 37:24) for a just man falls seven times and rises up again,

but the wicked will fall into mischief.



15 Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

Spoil not his resting place:

16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:

But the wicked shall fall into mischief.



Saying Twenty-Eight



17 (Job 31:29; Ps 35:15) Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

18 lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him,

and He turn away His wrath from him.



17 Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth,

And let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him,

And he turn away his wrath from him.



Saying Twenty-Nine



19 (Ps 37:1; Pr 24:1) Do not fret because of evil men,

nor be envious of the wicked;

20 (Pr 13:9; Job 18:5-6) for there will be no reward to the evil man;

the candle of the wicked will be put out.



19 Fret not thyself because of evil men,

Neither be thou envious at the wicked;

20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man;

The candle of the wicked shall be put out.



Saying Thirty



21 (Ro 13:1-7) My son, fear the Lord and the king;

and do not meddle with those who are given to change;

22 for their calamity will rise suddenly,

and who knows the ruin of them both?



21 My son, fear thou the LORD and the king:

And meddle not with them that are given to change:

And who knoweth the ruin of them both?

I looked on it and received instruction:

33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to sleep,

A little folding of the hands to sleep:

And thy want as an armed man.

Generosity by Kirsten Holmberg



Philippians 4:10-19



Acknowledgment of the Philippians' Gift



10 (2Co 11:9) I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived

your concern for me. Regarding this, you did care, but you lacked opportunity.

11 (Php 3:8; 1Ti 6:6-9) I do not speak because I have need, for I have learned

in whatever state I am to be content.

12 (2Co 11:27; 11:9) I know both how to face humble circumstances and how to

have abundance. Everywhere and in all things I have learned the secret,

both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 (2Co 12:9-10; Eph 3:16) I can do all things because of Christ

who strengthens me.

14 (Php 1:7) Nevertheless you did well having shared in my affliction.

15 (Php 1:5; 2Co 11:8-12) Now you Philippians know also,

that in the beginning of the gospel when I departed from Macedonia,

no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving,

except you alone.

16 (1Th 2:9) Even in Thessalonica, you sent aid once and again for

my necessity,

17 (Titus 3:14) not because I desired a gift, but I desire fruit that

accumulates to your account.

18 (Eph 5:2; Php 2:25-26) But I have everything and abound. I have been

filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you,

like a sweet fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

19 (Ro 2:4) But my God shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



[10] But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of

me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked

opportunity.

[11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever

state I am, therewith to be content.

[12] I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and

in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to

abound and to suffer need.

[13] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

[14] Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my

affliction.

[15] Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when

I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning

giving and receiving, but ye only.

[16] For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

[17] Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your

account.

[18] But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus

the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice

acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

[19] But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory

by Christ Jesus.



When Melanie began having regular headaches, her doctors discovered she had a

benign tumor in her pituitary gland. The tumour was about the size of a plum

and was surgically removed in 2003 and again in 2006 when it recurred. Then in

2017, when it came back a third time, Melanie underwent radiation treatment

instead, which caused her to lose her hair. Her twenty-seven-year-old son,

Matt, decided to grow out his own hair to make a wig for her.



Matt's selfless, loving act illustrates how one person's abilities and

resources can supply the needs of another person or group. Paul highlights the

beauty of such reciprocal generosity in his letter to the Philippians. The

believers in Philippi had shared in his "troubles" and "sent . . . aid more

than once when [he] was in need" (Philippians 4:14, 16). Having received their

gifts, Paul recognised that God had provided amply for his needs.



Our willingness to share with one another is often the conduit of God's

provision in our lives. Sometimes we're in a position to give of our time,

talent, or treasure; other times we're in need ourselves and must rely on the

support of another. Through His Spirit working in us, our gifts are "pleasing

to God" and a manifestation of our shared life in the body of Christ (v. 18).



Reflect & Pray



When has God supplied your needs through another person?

How might He provide for someone else through your generous giving today?



Father God, thank You for providing for me.

Please help me share what You've given me as I

seek to cheerfully and generously help others.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 2 - Due Season



Gal 6:9



9 And let us not grow weary in doing good,

for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.



9 And let us not be weary in well doing:

for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.



Jackie's preschool class took on an exciting project: they were going to grow

flowers from seeds, Each child took the seed, planted it carefully in the

bedding soil, watered, and waited. But Jackie couldn't wait. Every day

for a week he ran to the window box, looked for his plants, poked, prodded,

unplanted the seeds and then planted them again. "It's no use,"

he pouted after the first week. "Nothing's gonna grow in there."

We live in an instant society - microwave dinners, quick fixes, easy answers.

We are conditioned by our environment to expect - even to demand -

immediate response, and when we have to wait,

we become impatient and irritable.

Paul's exhortation to the Galatians, "Let us not become weary in doing good,"

is as appropriate for twentieth-century believers as it was for the new church

at Galatia. We lose motivation when we don't see results,

and weariness sets in.

If our work does not seem to be producing as we hope, we want to abandon it

and move on to a new project.

But God says, "You will reap a harvest if you don't give up." We give up too

soon in our prayers for a loved one's salvation. We abandon hope too readily

when we don't see spiritual growth in our own lives, when our investment in

another's spiritual maturity seems to have no return. The Lord says,

"The harvest is coming; be patient; trust me."

In due season the harvest comes; when it's the right time. When the seed has

had time to germinate, when the roots are string enough, when the conditions

are right, the reaping time will come. But we must be willing to wait for

the due season, the moment of ripeness, when our labor brings its return.



Application



a) Have I ever felt that my spiritual labours have produced no harvest at all?



b) What does it mean to my own spiritual growth that there is a "due season"

for reaping the harvest?



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.

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:

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



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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

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



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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



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

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

Proverbs 20

1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging:

And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion:

Whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:

But every fool will be meddling.

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold;

Therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;

But a man of understanding will draw it out.

6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness:

But a faithful man who can find?

7 The just man walketh in his integrity:

His children are blessed after him.

8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment

Scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean,

I am pure from my sin?

10 Divers weights, and divers measures,

Both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.

11 Even a child is known by his doings,

Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye,

The LORD hath made even both of them.

13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty;

Open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer:

But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies:

But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger:

And take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man;

But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

18 Every purpose is established by counsel:

And with good advice make war.

19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets:

Therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother,

His lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning;

But the end thereof shall not be blessed.

22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil;

But wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.

23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD;

And a false balance is not good.

24 Man's goings are of the LORD;

How can a man then understand his own way?

25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy,

And after vows to make enquiry.

26 A wise king scattereth the wicked,

And bringeth the wheel over them.

27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD,

Searching all the inward parts of the belly.

28 Mercy and truth preserve the king:

And his throne is upholden by mercy.

29 The glory of young men is their strength:

And the beauty of old men is the grey head.

30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil:

So do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

12 (Ps 37:35-36) The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked,

and a concealed bribe strong wrath.

but a foolish man squanders it.

finds life, righteousness, and honor.

22 (Ecc 7:19) A wise man scales the city of the mighty,

and casts down the strength of its confidence.

23 (Pr 12:13; 13:3) Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue

keeps his soul from trouble.

24 (Ps 1:1; Pr 1:22) Proud and haughty-scorner is his name,

who deals in proud wrath.

25 (Pr 13:4) The desire of the slothful kills him,

for his hands refuse to labor.

26 (Ps 37:26; 112:9) He covets greedily all the day long,

but the righteous gives and does not spare.

27 (Pr 15:8; Isa 66:3) The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;

how much more when he brings it with a wicked intent!

28 (Pr 19:5; 19:9) A false witness will perish,

but a man who listens will speak forever.

29 (Pr 11:5) A wicked man hardens his face,

but as for the upright, he directs his way.

30 (Jer 9:23; Ac 5:39) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel

against the Lord.

31 (Isa 31:1; Ps 3:8) The horse is prepared against the day of battle,

but victory is of the Lord.



Proverbs 21

1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,

As the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:

But the LORD pondereth the hearts.

3 To do justice and judgment

Is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4 An high look, and a proud heart,

And the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;

But of every one that is hasty only to want.

6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue

Is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them;

Because they refuse to do judgment.

8 The way of man is froward and strange:

But as for the pure, his work is right.

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop,

Than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil:

His neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise:

And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:

But God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor,

He also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger:

And a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

Shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

Than with a contentious and an angry woman.

But a foolish man spendeth it up.

21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy

Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty,

And casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue

Keepeth his soul from troubles.

24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name,

Who dealeth in proud wrath.

25 The desire of the slothful killeth him;

For his hands refuse to labour.

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long:

But the righteous giveth and spareth not.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination:

How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

28 A false witness shall perish:

But the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

29 A wicked man hardeneth his face:

But as for the upright, he directeth his way.

30 There is no wisdom nor understanding

Nor counsel against the LORD.

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle:

But safety is of the LORD.
