Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 4 - Send for Help !



James 1:5



5 (Pr 2:3-6; Jn 15:7) If any of you lacks wisdom,

let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally

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



5 If any of you lack wisdom,

let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally,

and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.



A new employee in an electronics plant had the responsibility

for overseeing one machine. The machine worked fine when the young man

came on duty, but soon it began to run a bit rough. The employee

tinkered with the machine, trying to "fix" it, until finally if stopped

working altogether

In fear and trembling the worker sent for the foreman, and stammered,

"I - I, well, sir, I did my best to fix it."

"Son", the foreman thundered, "you need to know only one thing. Around

here, doing you best means sending for me!"

Wisdom, James 1:5 says, has its source in God alone. And if we are

to attain wisdom, we need to learn doing our best means sending for God.

Often we spend time tinkering with our lives or the the lives of others.

We don't think to as God for his wisdom in the decisions we must take;

instead, we use our human reasoning and take our best guess.

But the path to wisdom does not lie in guesswork. The scriptures

give us clear indication of God's direction for his people, and through Bible

study, application, prayer, and meditation,

we can understand what God wants to reveal to us.

"If any of you lacks wisdom," James says, "he should ask God, who gives

generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

The first step to attaining wisdom is recognising that we are not wise.

The second step is to ask. And God, who is faithful to his Word

and His people, will respond.



Application



a) Under what circumstances have I tinkered with my life,

making it worse rather then fixing it?



b) What practical steps can I take to ask God for wisdom?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Hebrews 7:8



8 In the one case mortal men receive tithes,

but in the other he of whom it is witnessed

that he is alive receives them.



8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them,

of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.



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



When you are Facing Pain and Suffering



2 Cor 12:7-10



7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance

of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan,

to torment me, lest I be exalted above measure.

8 I asked the Lord three times that this thing might depart from me.

9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made

perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will boast in my weaknesses,

that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in hardships,

in persecutions, and in distresses for Christ's sake.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.



7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of

the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,

the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is

made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my

infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,

in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak,

then am I strong.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



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

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

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



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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



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

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



ROMANS 15:13



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

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

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

Proverbs 28



[1] The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a

lion.

[2] For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof: but by a

man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged.

[3] A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which

leaveth no food.

[4] They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law

contend with them.

[5] Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD

understand all things.

[6] Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is

perverse in his ways, though he be rich.

[7] Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of

riotous men shameth his father.

[8] He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall

gather it for him that will pity the poor.

[9] He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer

shall be abomination.

[10] Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall

himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in

possession.

[11] The rich man is wise in his own conceit; but the poor that hath

understanding searcheth him out.

[12] When righteous men do rejoice, there is great glory: but when the

wicked rise, a man is hidden.

[13] He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and

forsaketh them shall have mercy.

[14] Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart

shall fall into mischief.

[15] As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the

poor people.

[16] The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he

that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

[17] A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the

pit; let no man stay him.

[18] Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his

ways shall fall at once.

[19] He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that

followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

[20] A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh

haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

[21] To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that

man will transgress.

[22] He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that

poverty shall come upon him.

[23] He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that

flattereth with the tongue.

[24] Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no

transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer.

[25] He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his

trust in the LORD shall be made fat.

[26] He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely,

he shall be delivered.

[27] He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his

eyes shall have many a curse.

[28] When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the

righteous increase.

but he who keeps company with harlots spends his substance.

but he who receives bribes overthrowsit.

spreads a net for his feet.

but the just seek his soul.

his throne will be established forever.

but a child left to himself brings his mother to shame.

but happy is he who keeps the teaching.

19 A servant will not be corrected by words,

for though he understands he will not answer.

20 (Pr 26:12; Jas 1:19) Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

21 He who delicately brings up his servant from a child

will have him as a son in the end.

22 (Pr 15:18; 17:19; 26:21) An angry man stirs up strife,

and a furious man abounds in transgression.

23 (Pr 15:33; Mt 23:12) A man's pride will bring him low,

but honor will uphold the humble in spirit.

24 (Lev 5:1; Pr 8:36) Whoever is partner with a thief hates his own soul;

he hears the oath but tells nothing.

25 (Ge 20:2; 20:11 )The fear of man brings a snare,

but whoever puts his trust in the Lord will be safe.

26 (Pr 19:6; Ps 20:9) Many seek the ruler's favor,

but every man's judgment comes from the Lord.

27 (Ps 139:21; 1Jn 3:13) An unjust man is an abomination to the just,

and he who is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.

in spirit.

[24] Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing,

and bewrayeth it not.

2) Our Daily Bread for 17 June 2026 Titled

With Friends Like These . . . by Tim Gustafson



Job 11:7-20



7 "Can you search out the deep things of God?

Can you find out the totality of the Almighty?

8 It is as high as heaven; what can you do?

Deeper than Sheol; what can you know?

9 Its measure is longer than the earth

and broader than the sea.

10 "If He passes through, and shuts up, and gathers together for judgment,

then who can hinder Him?

11 For He knows worthless men;

He sees wickedness also; will He not then consider it?

12 For an empty-headed man will become wise,

when a wild donkey's colt is born a man.

13 "If you prepare your heart

and stretch out your hands toward Him;

14 if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away,

and do not let wickedness dwell in your tents;

15 for then you will lift up your face without blemish;

yes, you will be steadfast and will not fear,

16 because you will forget misery,

and remember it as waters that pass away,

17 and your life will be brighter than noonday,

even your darkness will be as the morning.

18 You will trust because there is hope;

yes, you will search about you,

and you will look around and rest in safety.

19 Also you will lie down, and none will make you afraid;

yes, many will court your favor.

20 But the eyes of the wicked will fail,

and they will not escape,

and their hope will be as the giving up of breath."



[7] Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty

unto perfection?

[8] It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what

canst thou know?

[9] The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

[10] If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder

him?

[11] For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then

consider it?

[12] For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

[13] If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

[14] If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness

dwell in thy tabernacles.

[15] For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be

stedfast, and shalt not fear:

[16] Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that

pass away:

[17] And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine

forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

[18] And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig

about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

[19] Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many

shall make suit unto thee.

[20] But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and

their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.



Job 12:13



13 "With Him are wisdom and strength; He has counsel and understanding.



[13] With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.



"I know you better than you know yourself!" As a young man, I heard that

confident declaration from a friend. Her intentions were good, but my

complicated life as an adopted missionary kid had been shaped across

four continents and cultures. She didn't really know me.



Zophar, a friend of Job's, sounded wise in his assessment of Job's

difficulties. "Can you fathom the mysteries of God?" Zophar asked

him (Job 11:7). "They are higher than the heavens above" (v. . Who can argue

with that? But then Zophar dared speak of something he couldn't know: Job's

heart. Without evidence, he proclaimed, "If you put away the sin that is in

your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then . . . you will stand

firm and without fear" (vv. 14-15).



Job responded sarcastically, "Wisdom will die with you! But I have a mind as

well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know all these things?"

(12:2-3). Job's reality was so complex that even he didn't know what was

taking place (see Job 1-2). He correctly said, "To God belong wisdom

and power" (12:13). It didn't come from Zophar, who presumed to have authority

and insight that weren't his.



Our friends may need our loving counsel from time to time. But usually friends

in crisis need us to bring their names in prayer to the one who truly does

know them.



Reflect & Pray



When has someone been truly helpful to you in a crisis?

How can you help another in a difficult situation today?



Heavenly Father, please help me rejoice and relax in

the wonderful truth that you truly know me and still love me.

1) Proverbs 27, Proverbs 28, Proverbs 29



Proverbs 27

1 (Lk 12:19-20; Jas 4:13-16 ) Do not boast about tomorrow,

for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

2 (Pr 25:27; 2Co 10:12 ) Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;

a stranger, and not your own lips.

3 (Pr 17:12) A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,

but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

4 (Pr 6:34; 1Jn 3:12) Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous,

but who is able to stand before envy?

5 (Pr 28:23; Gal 2:14) Open rebuke is better

than secret love.

6 (Ps 141:5) Faithful are the wounds of a friend,

but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

7 The full soul loathes a honeycomb,

but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

8 (Isa 16:2) As a bird that wanders from her nest,

so is a man who wanders from his place.

9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart,

so does the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

10 (1Ki 12:6-8; Pr 17:17) Do not forsake your own friend

or your father's friend,

nor go into your brother's house in the day of your calamity;

for better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far off.

11 (Pr 10:1; Ps 119:42) My son, be wise, and make my heart glad,

that I may answer him who reproachesme.

12 (Pr 22:3) A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself,

but the simple pass on and are punished.

13 (Pr 20:16) Take his garment that is security for a stranger,

and take a pledge of him for an adulterous woman.

14 He who blesses his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,

it will be counted a curse to him.

15 (Pr 19:13; 21:9) A continual dripping on a very rainy day

and a contentious woman are alike;

16 whoever restrains her restrains the wind,

and grasps oil in his right hand.

17 Iron sharpens iron,

so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

18 (1Co 9:7; SS 8:12) Whoever keeps the fig tree will eat its fruit;

so he who waits on his master will be honored.

19 As in water face answers to face,

so the heart of man to man.

20 (Pr 30:15-16; Ecc 1:8) Death and destruction are never full;

so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

21 (Pr 17:3) As the refining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold,

so is a man to his praise.

22 (Pr 23:35; Jer 5:3) Though you should grind a fool in a mortar

among wheat with a pestle,

yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

23 (1Pe 5:2) Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,

and look well to your herds;

24 (Pr 23:5) for riches are not forever,

nor does the crown endure to every generation.

25 The hay appears, and the tender grass shows itself,

and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

26 The lambs are for your clothing,

and the goats are the price of the field.

27 You will have goats' milk enough

for your food, for the food of your household,

and for the maintenance of your maidens.



[1] Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may

bring forth.

[2] Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and

not thine own lips.

[3] A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier

than them both.

[4] Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before

envy?

[5] Open rebuke is better than secret love.

[6] Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are

deceitful.

[7] The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter

thing is sweet.

[8] As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from

his place.

[9] Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's

friend by hearty counsel.

[10] Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into

thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour

that is near than a brother far off.

[11] My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that

reproacheth me.

[12] A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple

pass on, and are punished.

[13] Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of

him for a strange woman.

[14] He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the

morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.

[15] A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are

alike.

[16] Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right

hand, which bewrayeth itself.

[17] Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

[18] Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that

waiteth on his master shall be honoured.

[19] As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

[20] Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never

satisfied.

[21] As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to

his praise.

[22] Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a

pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.

[23] Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy

herds.

[24] For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every

generation?

[25] The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of

the mountains are gathered.

[26] The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

[27] And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of

thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.

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.

it says to those who are under the law,

2) Our Daily Bread for 16 June 2026 titled

The Way of Holiness By Amy Boucher Pye



Isaiah 35:8-10



8 (Isa 52:1; 11:16) A highway shall be there, a roadway,

and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.

The unclean shall not pass on it,

but it shall be for the wayfaring men,

and fools shall not wander on it.

9 (Isa 62:12) No lion shall be there,

nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it;

these shall not be found there,

but the redeemed shall walk there,

10 (Rev 21:4; Isa 25:8) and the ransomed of the Lord shall return

and come to Zion with songs

and everlasting joy upon their heads.

They shall obtain joy and gladness,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.



[8] And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way

of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those:

the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

[9] No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it

shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

[10] And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs

and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.



After Jennifer was diagnosed with early onset dementia, she couldn't read the

Bible easily, so she started listening to it. Scripture passages now mean

something new to her. For example, she gets lost easily, often doesn't know

who people are, and sees hallucinations of wild animals. When she's

disoriented and fearful, she receives God's comfort as she hears Isaiah speak

of "the Way of Holiness" set aside "for those who walk on that Way" (Isaiah

35:8). On that road will be no wicked fools, "nor any ravenous beast";

instead, "only the redeemed will walk there," those whom God rescues (v. 9).



The prophet Isaiah shared God’s promises to His people, those exiled from

their home. Away from the temple, where they would experience His presence,

they must have felt bereft and forlorn. The promises, therefore, of the Way

of Holiness, the path to God, would give them hope and strength. To think of

entering "Zion with singing," without fear or sorrow, would lead them

to rejoice (v. 10).



Even as Jennifer holds on to these assurances from centuries ago, so too can

we who believe in Jesus trust that as we journey with Him, we'll know gladness

and joy (v. 10). Whatever trials we face in this life - however taxing or

life-altering - we know that God's way leads us home to Him.



Reflect & Pray



What do these promises from God mean to you?

As you experience trials outside of your control, how can you turn to Him?



Saving God, please help me to release my fears to You

as I walk on the Way of Holiness. I long to be with You.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 3 - The Promise of Completion



Philippians 1:6



6 (1Co 1:8; Jn 6:29) I am confident of this very thing,

that He who began a good work in you will perfect it

until the day of Jesus Christ.



6 being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun

a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:



"Elizabeth is a good student", the note on the side of the report card read,

"but she doesn't finish what she starts. She has a lot of good ideas, but

rarely brings then to completion."

Many of us are like Elizabeth. We start into a new venture with high hopes

and great motivation. But somewhere along the way, we become discouraged.

Someone tells us that our ideas are stupid, or that we are not capable of

doing what we dream. We get a particularly difficult hurdle and give up.

Sometimes we fell the Christian like is like that, too. We start well, and

believe that in Christ we can accomplish anything. But then our prayers

become rote, our Bible reading ritual. We can't seem to regain that sense

of God's presence; we have, we conclude, "Lost our first love." (Rev 2)

But God has a different perspective. He began the work of salvation in us;

he leads and guides us in his will, and he will complete what he has begun.

Often we fail to see God's grace in the ongoing process of walking with him

because his agenda is different from ours. We know what we want to see

happen in our lives; God knows what needs to happen.

"When I first came into a relationship with Christ," one woman explained,

"I knew I had a lot of changing to do. But, strangely enough, the things God

changed weren't on my list at all!"

When God begins his work in our lives, he has a plan for our maturity.

He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. And what God

has begun, he will finish.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to "decide" for God what problems in my life

needed dealing with?



b) Has God ever pointed out issues that were a surprise to me?



c) How can today's verse help me relax in God's will and

have confidence in the direction of my life?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Malachi 3:10-12



10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in

My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not

open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing,

that there will not be room enough to receive it.

11 I will rebuke the devourer

for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground,

and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,

says the Lord of Hosts.

12 Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be

a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.



10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in

mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not

open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall

not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy

the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit

before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be

a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.



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



When you are Worried Over Money



Matt 6:19-21



Treasures in Heaven



Lk 12:33-34



19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth

and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

20 But store up

for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy

and where thieves do not break in nor steal,

21 for where your treasure is,

there will your heart be also.



19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth

and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth

nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

1) Proverbs 25,26



Proverbs 25

More Proverbs of Solomon

1 (Pr 1:1; 1Ki 4:32)These are also proverbs of Solomon,

which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied.

2 (Dt 29:29; Job 29:16) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing,

but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

3 As the heaven for height, and the earth for depth,

so the heart of kings is unsearchable.

4 (2Ti 2:20-21) Take away the dross from the silver,

and there will come forth a vessel for the refiner.

5 (Pr 16:12; 20:8) Take away the wicked from before the king,

and his throne will be established in righteousness.

6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,

and do not stand in the place of great men;

7 for it is better that it be said to you, "Come up here,"

than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,

whom your eyes have seen.

8 (Mt 5:25; Pr 17:14) Do not go forth hastily to strive;

lest you do not know what to do in the end,

when your neighbor has put you to shame.

9 (Pr 11:13) Debate your cause with your neighbor himself,

and do not disclose a secret to another;

10 lest he who hears it put you to shame,

and your reputation be ruined.

11 (Pr 15:23; Isa 50:4) A word fitly spoken

is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

12 (Ps 141:5) As an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold,

so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

13 (Pr 13:17) As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,

so is a faithful messenger to those who send him,

for he refreshes the soul of his masters.

14 (Pr 20:6) Whoever boasts himself of a false gift

is like clouds and wind without rain.

15 (Pr 15:1; Ecc 10:4) By long forbearing is a prince persuaded,

and a soft tongue breaks the bone.

16 (Pr 25:27) Have you found honey? Eat only as much as is sufficient for you,

lest you be filled with it and vomit it.

17 Withdraw your foot from your neighbor's house,

lest he be weary of you and so hate you.

18 (Ps 57:4; Pr 12:18) A man who bears false witness against his neighbour

is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.

19 (Isa 36:6 )Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble

is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint.

20 (Ro 12:15) As he who takes away a garment in cold weather,

and as vinegar on soda,

so is he who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21 (Ex 23:4-5; Mt 5:44) If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;

and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22 (2Sa 16:12) for you will heap coals of fire upon his head,

and the Lord will reward you.

23 (Ps 101:5 ) The north wind brings rain,

and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

24 (Pr 21:9) It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop

than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

25 (Pr 15:30) As cold waters to a thirsty soul,

so is good news from a far country.

26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked

is as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring.

27 (Pr 27:2) It is not good to eat much honey;

so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

28 (Pr 16:32) He who has no rule over his own spirit

is like a city that is broken down and without walls.



[1] These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of

Judah copied out.

[2] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings

is to search out a matter.

[3] The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings

is unsearchable.

[4] Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel

for the finer.

[5] Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be

established in righteousness.

[6] Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the

place of great men:

[7] For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that

thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes

have seen.

[8] Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end

thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.

[9] Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret

to another:

[10] Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

[11] A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

[12] As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise

reprover upon an obedient ear.

[13] As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger

to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

[14] Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without

rain.

[15] By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh

the bone.

[16] Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest

thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

[17] Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of

thee, and so hate thee.

[18] A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul,

and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

[19] Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken

tooth, and a foot out of joint.

[20] As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon

nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

[21] If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty,

give him water to drink:

[22] For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall

reward thee.

[23] The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a

backbiting tongue.

[24] It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a

brawling woman and in a wide house.

[25] As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

[26] A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled

fountain, and a corrupt spring.

[27] It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory

is not glory.

[28] He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken

down, and without walls.



Proverbs 26

1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,

so honor is not seemly for a fool.

2 (Nu 23:8; 2Sa 16:12) As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying,

so the curse without cause will not alight.

3 (Ps 32:9; Pr 10:13) A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,

and a rod for the fool's back.

4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,

lest you also be like unto him.

5 (Pr 28:11; Mt 16:1--4) Answer a fool according to his folly,

lest he be wise in his own conceit.

6 (Pr 10:26) He who sends a message by the hand of a fool

cuts off the feet and drinks violence.

7 (Pr 26:9) The legs of the lame are not equal;

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

8 (Pr 26:1) As he who binds a stone in a sling,

so is he who gives honor to a fool.

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10 The great God who formed all things

rewards the fool and rewards the transgressor.

11 (Ex 8:15; 2Pe 2:22) As a dog returns to its vomit,

so a fool returns to his folly.

12 (Pr 29:20; Mt 21:31; Pr 26:5) Do you see a man wise in his own conceit?

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13 (Pr 22:13) The slothful man says, "There is a lion in the way!

A lion is in the streets!"

14 As the door turns upon his hinges,

so does the slothful upon his bed.

15 (Pr 19:24) The slothful buries his hand in his bowl;

it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.

16 (Pr 26:12) The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit

than seven men who can answer reasonably.

17 He who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him

is like one who takes a dog by the ears.

18 As a madman who casts

firebrands, arrows, and death,

19 (Eph 5:4) so is the man who deceives his neighbor,

and says, "I was only joking."

20 (Pr 22:10; 16:28) Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;

so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.

21 (Pr 15:18; 29:22) As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,

so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

22 (Pr 18:8) The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

and go down into the innermost parts of the body.

23 Burning lips and a wicked heart

are like earthenware covered with silver dross.

24 (Pr 12:20) He who hates dissembles with his lips,

and lays up deceit within him;

25 (Ps 28:3) when he speaks kindly, do not believe him,

for there are seven abominations in his heart;

26 though his hatred is covered by deceit,

his wickedness will be shown before the whole congregation.

27 (Pr 28:10; Est 7:10) Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,

and he who rolls a stone, it will return upon him.

28 (Pr 29:5 ) A lying tongue hates those who are afflicted by it,

and a flattering mouth works ruin.



[1] As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly

for a fool.

[2] As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse

causeless shall not come.

[3] A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

[4] Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

[5] Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

and drinketh damage.

[8] As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a

fool.

[9] As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the

mouth of fools.

[10] The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and

rewardeth transgressors.

[11] As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

[12] Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool

than of him.

[13] The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the

streets.

[14] As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

[15] The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it

again to his mouth.

[16] The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render

a reason.

[17] He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is

like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

[18] As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

[19] So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

[20] Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no

talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

[21] As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious

man to kindle strife.

[22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the

innermost parts of the belly.

[23] Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver

dross.

[24] He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

[25] When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations

in his heart.

[26] Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed

before the whole congregation.

[27] Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it

will return upon him.

[28] A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering

mouth worketh ruin.

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!



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) Our Daily Bread for 15 June 2026 titled Giving from God's

Gifts by Leslie Koh



2 Corinthians 9:6-15





6 (Pr 22:9; Lk 6:38) But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap

sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 (Ex 25:2; 2Co 8:12) Let every man give according to the purposes

in his heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful

giver.

8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that you,

always having enough of everything, may abound to every good work.

9 (Ps 112:9) As it is written:

"He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor;

His righteousness remains forever."(Ps 112:9.)

10 (Isa 55:10; Hos 10:12) Now He who supplies seed to the sower and supplies

bread for your food will also multiply your seed sown and increase the fruits

of your righteousness.

11 (2Co 1:11; 1Co 1:5) So you will be enriched in everything to all

bountifulness, which makes us give thanks to God.

12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the need

of the saints, but is abundant also through many thanksgivings to God.

13 (Mt 5:16) Meanwhile, through the performance of this ministry,

they glorify God for the profession of your faith in the gospel of Christ

and for your liberal sharing with them and with all others.

14 And in their prayer for you, they long for you because of the surpassing

grace of God in you.

15 (2Co 2:14; Jn 3:16) Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.



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

he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not

grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

[8] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always

having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

[9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor:

his righteousness remaineth for ever.

[10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your

food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your

righteousness;)

[11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth

through us thanksgiving to God.

[12] For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of

the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

[13] Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your

professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal

distribution unto them, and unto all men;

[14] And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding

grace of God in you.

[15] Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.



Stanley's generosity never ceased to amaze me. He often bought meals and gifts

for elderly church members, cleaners in his neighbourhood, or anyone who

needed cheering up.



Equally amazing was that even though Stanley wasn't wealthy or savvy at

investing, his small investment did impressively well, enabling him to keep

giving. Whenever someone thanked him, he’d point upwards and smile, as if

to say, "It came from God, not me." God, he often said, helped him to help

others.



This was what Paul alluded to in 2 Corinthians 9 as he wrote about giving.

Proud of the Corinthians' readiness to help fellow believers (v. 2), he hoped

to pick up a collection they had started (v. 3). Imploring them to give

generously and cheerfully, he noted that God would not only reward those who

gave (vv. 6-7) but also bless people so they could give even more (v. .



God doesn't expect us to give what we're unable to give (8:12). Rather, He

entrusts us with money, time, or talent to "abound in every good work" (9:8),

and He supplies what we need so

we "can be generous on every occasion" (v. 11). That's why we can give in

faith and with a cheerful heart (v. 7), knowing that we give only from what

we've been given. In the process, we bring praise to God’s name (v. 13).



Reflect & Pray



What has God given to you?

To whom can you give today, sharing from what you've received?



Dear God, please open my eyes to Your blessings and

open my heart to bless others generously and cheerfully.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 2 - God's purpose: The Image of Christ



Romans 8:28-29



28 (Gal 1:15; Ge 50:20) We know that all things work together for

good to those who love God,

to those who are called according to His purpose.

29 (Ro 11:2; 1Co 15:49; Eph 1:11) For those whom He foreknew,

He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,

so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.



28 And we know that all things work together for good to them

that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed

to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.



A baby dies of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and the parents are

devastated, plagued with guilt, and Asking "Why?" A 17-year-old plunges

headfirst into a pond and to the surface a quadriplegic. A single mother

of 3, struck down by leukemia, has to release he children to foster homes.

And in all these cases, well-meaning Christians stand by and attempt to

comfort: "All things work together for good, you know," they say blithely,

"just trust God, and praise him for everything."

Such pat answers are often repeated because they do contain an element

of truth; they become "pat", meaningless, and superficial, when they are

used as a panacea for all ills, whether the cure fits or not.

The truth is, God does use everything for the benefit of his people -

even disaster and tragedy. Romans 8:28 says, "In all things God works ...."

God foes not cause human suffering. He is not the author of pain

and misery. But what the Enemy of our souls intends for

destruction, God can use for growth.

The key to understanding Romans 8:28 is Romans 8:29 . The Lord makes

clear what "his purpose" is: that we be "conformed to the

likeness of his Son." Everything that happens is not good,

but nothing is wasted in the economy of God. Even the sorrow,

misfortune, and calamity that strike all of us cam be used by the Spirit

to transform us into the image of Christ.



Application



a) Have I ever had experiences that made me doubt the

"all things work together for good"?



b) How does Romans 8:29 clarify Romans 8:28?



c) How can these verses help me deal with the struggles I have in my

own life?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



2 Cor 9:6



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

and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.



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

and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.



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



When you are Worried Over Money



1 Tim 6:6-10



6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

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

that we can carry nothing out.

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

9 But those who desire

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

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

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

While coveting after money, some have strayed from the faith

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

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



6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

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

we can carry nothing out.

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

9 But they that will

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

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

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

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

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



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.

Solomon's Other Activities

1Ki 9:10-28



1 It came that after twenty years, Solomon built the house of the Lord

and his royal house,

2 and Solomon even rebuilt the cities that Hiram had given to him,

and he settled the sons of Israel in them.

3 Then Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and seized it.

4 He also built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the store cities

that he built in Hamath.

5 (1Ch 7:24; Jos 16:3) He also built the Upper and Lower Beth Horon,

fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

6 and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the cities

for his chariots, the cities for his cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired

to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

7 And all the people who remained from the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,

Hivites, and Jebusites who were not from Israel,

8 (Jos 16:10; 1Ki 4:6) and from their descendants who remained from

these peoples in the land and whom the sons of Israel did not finish

destroying, Solomon brought them up to be forced labor, even to this day.

9 But from the sons of Israel Solomon did not make servants for his work.

These were his soldiers, officers, commanders of his chariots, and horsemen.

10 And these were the two hundred and fifty chief officers for King Solomon

who governed the people.

11 (1Ki 3:1; 7:8) And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh

from the City of David to the house that he built for her, for he said,

"My wife will not live in the house of David king of Israel,

for the places where the ark of the Lord have been are holy."

12 (2Ch 4:1) At that time Solomon offered up burnt offerings on the altar

of the Lord that he built before the vestibule,

13 (Dt 16:16; Ex 23:14-17) according to the daily duty to offer up

as the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons,

and the three annual festivals: the Feast of Unleavened Bread,

the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

14 (1Ch 9:17; Ne 12:24) According to the ruling of David his father,

he set the divisions of the priests for their service,

and the Levites for their function to praise

and serve before the priests according to the daily duty,

and even the gatekeepers for their divisions at each gate,

for this was the commandment of David the man of God.

15 And they did not turn from the commandment of the king,

whether the priests or Levites, concerning any matter

and concerning the treasury.

16 So all the work of Solomon was established from the day of the foundation

of the house of the Lord and until its completion;

and the house of the Lord was complete.

17 (2Ki 14:22; Dt 2:8) Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber

and Elath at the shore of the sea in Edom.

18 (2Ch 9:10; 9:13) And Hiram sent him ships by the hand of his servants,

who knew the sea. And they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir,

and took from there four hundred and fifty talents

[About 17 tons, or 15 metric tons.] of gold, and brought them to King Solomon.



2 Chronicles 8

Solomon's Reign

1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built

the house of the LORD, and his own house,

2 that the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them,

and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.

4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities,

which he built in Hamath.

5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether,

fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

6 and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot

cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build

in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.

7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and

the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,

8 but of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the

children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until

this day.

9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but

they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots

and horsemen.

10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers,

even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.

11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David

unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not

dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy,

whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.

12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the

LORD, which he had built before the porch,

13 even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment

of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts,

three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the

feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.

14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses

of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise

and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required:

the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man

of God commanded.

15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests

and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.

16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation

of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished.

So the house of the LORD was perfected.

17 Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side

in the land of Edom.

18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships,

and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants

of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold,

and brought them to king Solomon.



1 Kings 9



15 (Jos 17:11; 2Sa 5:9) This is the account of the forced labor

which King Solomon conscripted to build the house of the Lord

and his own house, Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 (1Ki 3:1) For Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had gone up against

and conquered Gezer and burned it with fire and slain the Canaanites

that lived in the city and given it as a present to his daughter,

Solomon's wife.

17 (Jos 16:3; 21:22) Solomon built Gezer and Lower Beth Horon

18 (Jos 19:44) and Baalath and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

19 (1Ki 9:1) and all the storage cities that Solomon had,

cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen and all that which

Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon

and in all the land of his dominion.

20 All the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,

Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not children of Israel,

21 (Jos 15:63; 17:12) the descendants of those who were left in the land

and whom the people of Israel were not able to utterly destroy,

were conscripted by Solomon for slave labor to this day.

22 (Lev 25:39) But Solomon did not make any children of Israel into slaves,

but instead used them as men of war, as his servants, his leaders,

his captains, rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.

23 (1Ki 5:16; 2Ch 8:10) These were the chief officers over Solomon's work,

five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the labor.

24 (2Sa 5:9; 1Ki 7:8) But Pharaoh's daughter moved out of the City of David

to her house which Solomon had built for her, and he then built Millo.

25 (Ex 23:14-17; Dt 16:16) Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings

and peace offerings on the altar that he built to the Lord, and he burned

incense on the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the house.

26 (1Ki 22:48; Nu 33:35; Dt 2:8) King Solomon built a fleet of ships

in Ezion Geber, which is beside Elath on the shore of the Red Sea

in the land of Edom.

27 (1Ki 5:6; 5:9) Hiram sent shipmen who had knowledge of the sea

to serve alongside Solomon's men.

28 (1Ch 29:4; 2Ch 8:18) They went to Ophir and acquired 420 talents

[About 16 tons, or 14 metric tons. ]

of gold there and brought it to King Solomon.



15 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build

the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall

of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it

with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for

a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.

17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,

18 and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

19 and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots,

and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in

Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,

Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,

21 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children

of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy

a tribute of bondservice unto this day.

22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were

men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers

of his chariots, and his horsemen.

23 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five

hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.

24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house

which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.

25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace

offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense

upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside

Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge

of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold,

four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

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!



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.

Nehemiah 2:17-18,3:6-12



17 (Ne 1:3; Eze 5:14; Ps 44:13) Finally, I said to them, "You see the distress

that we are in, how Jerusalem is devastated and its gates are burned

with fire. Come, and let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will

no more be a reproach."

18 (2Sa 2:7) Then I told them that the hand of my God had been good to me

and also about the king's words that he had spoken to me.

And they said, "Let us rise up and build!"



[17] Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how

Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and

let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

[18] Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also

the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up

and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.



6 (Ne 12:39) Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah

repaired the Old Gate. They constructed its beams, erected its doors,

and installed locks and bars for it.

7 Next to them repairs were made by Melatiah the Gibeonite

and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah,

places under the authority of the governor of the province Beyond the River.

8 (Ne 12:38; 3:31-32) Next to them Uzziel the son of Harhaiah,

one of the goldsmiths, made repairs. Next to him Hananiah,

the son of one of the apothecaries, made repairs, and they repaired Jerusalem

as far as the Broad Wall.

9 (Ne 3:12; 3:17) Next to him Rephaiah the son of Hur, commander of half

of the Jerusalem district, made repairs.

10 Next to him Jedaiah the son of Harumaph made repairs across from his house.

Next to him Hattush the son of Hashabneiah made repairs.

repaired another section, as well as the Tower of the Furnaces.

12 (Ne 3:9) Next to them Shallum the son of Hallohesh,

commander of the other half of the Jerusalem district, made repairs

along with his daughters.



[6] Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam

the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors

Serendipity Bookstore, a popular spot in Chelsea, Michigan, needed to expand.

The owner found a building twice the size just a block away. She wanted to

make the move quickly instead of closing the store for days and boxing up all

the books. So she requested help from the community. More than three hundred

people showed up! They stood shoulder to shoulder, forming a human conveyor

belt, and passed the books from one person to the next, moving 9100 books in

just under two hours. The owner said, "[The bookstore] is really a part of

the community, and [the people] have ownership."

They all enthusiastically worked side by side.



When Nehemiah, a Jew who was the trusted cupbearer to the Persian king,

learned that the wall surrounding Jerusalem lay in shambles, he cried out for

God's guidance (Nehemiah 1:3-11). The Babylonians had destroyed the walls

in 587 B.C. After investigating, Nehemiah recruited help from the community.

He said to the Jewish leaders, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem

lies in ruins . . . . Come, let us rebuild the wall" (2:17). Chapter 3

describes how leaders and citizens alike willingly repaired the section

of the wall that was right in front of each one. They worked side by side.



We too can impact our community by serving together

under God's direction and in His strength.



Reflect & Pray



What are your God-given abilities?

How might He be calling you to work side by side with others?



Please open my eyes, dear God, to those around me

so I might serve You in ways that help my community.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 1 A circle of Light



John 8:12



12 (Jn 12:35; Job 33:28; Isa 49:6) Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying,

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me

shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."



12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.



When Judy Garland stepped onstage, she filled the spotlight. Nothing was

illuminated but her face, and as she sang, her listeners had a sense of being

transported beyond themselves into the meaning of her song. The focus of

reality, at that moment, was "Judy", and everything else faded into the dim

recesses of the shadowed room. The spotlight brought her into sharp focus

as the center of attention, and all around her was darkness.

When the scriptures speaks of Jesus as "the light," the image is not

of thousands of blazing bulbs lighting up a football field for a night game.

Rather, he is like a hand-help lamp that throws a circle of light in the

immediate vicinity. such a lamp lights the path that a traveler will walk,

but lights it only one step at a time.

Jesus is the center of that circle of light. As we follow him, we share the

light, but he is always at center. Jesus Christ is the focal point,

and everything else fades into dim gray by comparison.

If we are to keep our lives illuminated, to have his light falling upon the

road we walk, we must stay close to him. Jesus does not hand the lamp

to us and suggest that we go the way he wants; he , the Light, leads,

and if we want to stay in the light, we follow.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to go my own way, apart from the Light?

What was the result?



b) How can this verse help me remember the importance of staying close

to Jesus?

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.

[8] Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth,

who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

[9] He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

[10] He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure

in the legs of a man.

[11] The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in

his mercy.

[12] Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

[13] For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy

children within thee.

[14] He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the

wheat.

[15] He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very

swiftly.

[16] He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

[17] He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

[18] He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow,

and the waters flow.

[19] He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto

Israel.

[20] He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they

have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

and perfect, will of God.

if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think on these things.

things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any

Today at Calvary Community Church

, Pastor Barry Regier Spoke on Living Counter-Counteral When Hope Seems

Impossible.



A) When doing good brings suffering



1 Peter 3:13-14



13 (Pr 16:7) Who is he who will harm you if you follow that which is good?

14 (1Pe 2:19-20; Isa 8:12-13) But even if you suffer for the sake

of righteousness, you are blessed. "Do not be afraid of their terror,

do not be troubled."(Isa 8:12.)



[13] And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is

good?

[14] But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not

afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;



B) When suffering tempts you to fear.



1 Peter 3:14-15



14 (1Pe 2:19-20; Isa 8:12-13) But even if you suffer for the sake

of righteousness, you are blessed. "Do not be afraid of their terror,

do not be troubled."(Isa 8:12.)

15 (Col 4:6; Isa 29:23) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for

a reason for the hope that is in you, with

gentleness and fear.



[14] But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not

afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

[15] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give

an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

with meekness and fear:



Psalm 91:1



1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.



1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.



C) When Hope creates Curiosity



15 (Col 4:6; Isa 29:23) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for

a reason for the hope that is in you, with

gentleness and fear.

16 (Heb 13:18; 1Pe 2:12) Have a good conscience so that evildoers who speak

evil of you and falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

17 (1Pe 2:20; 4:19) For it is better, if it is the will of God, that you

suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

18 (1Pe 4:1; Heb 9:26; Ro 4:25) For Christ also has once suffered for sins,

the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, being put to death

in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit,



[15] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give

an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

with meekness and fear:

[16] Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of

evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in

Christ.

[17] For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well

doing, than for evil doing.

[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,

that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but

quickened by the Spirit:

1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) While I live I will praise the Lord;

I will sing praises unto my God while Ihave my life.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Do not put your trust in princes,

nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) His breath leaves him, and he returns to the earth;

on that very day his plans perish.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,

whose hope is in the Lord his God,

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) who made heaven, and earth,

the sea, and all that is in them,

who keeps faithfulness forever,

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) who executes justice for the oppressed,

who gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the prisoners.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;

the Lord raises those who are brought down; the Lord loves the righteous.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) The Lord preserves the sojourners;

He lifts up the fatherless and widow,

but on the way of the wicked He brings disaster.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The Lord shall reign forever,

your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise you the Lord!



Psalms 146

[1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

[2] While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God

while I have any being.

[3] Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is

no help.

[4] His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his

thoughts perish.

[5] Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in

the LORD his God:

[6] Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which

keepeth truth for ever:

[7] Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the

hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

[8] The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are

bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

[9] The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and

widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

[10] The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all

generations. Praise ye the LORD.



Psalms 147



1 Praise the Lord!

For it is good to sing praises unto our God;

for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) The Lord builds up Jerusalem;

He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He heals the broken in heart,

and binds up their wounds.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He counts the number of the stars;

His understanding is without measure.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord lifts up the meek;

He casts the wicked down to the ground.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;

sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) who covers the heaven with clouds,

who provides rain for the earth,

who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He gives food to the animals

and to the young ravens that chirp.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He delights not in the strength of the horse,

nor does He take pleasure in the legs of a man,

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,

in those who hope in His mercy.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;

praise your God, O Zion.

13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;

He has blessed your children within you.

14 He makes peace in your borders,

and fills you with the finest of the wheat.

15 He sends forth His commandment on the earth;

His word goes out swiftly.

16 He gives snow like wool;

He scatters the frost like ashes;

17 He casts forth His ice like morsels;

who can stand before His cold?

18 He sends out His word and melts them;

He causes His wind to blow and the waters flow.

19 He shows His word to Jacob,

and His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

they have not known His judgments.

Praise the Lord!

young people will be able to journey with hope towards the destiny God has

for each of them.

PSALMS 103



A Psalm of David.



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord does righteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the people of Israel.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He will not always accuse,

neither will He keep his anger forever.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He does not treat us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.

14 For He knows how we are formed;

He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass;

as a flower of the field he flourishes.

16 For the hot wind passes over it, and it is gone;

the place where it was is not known.

17 But the mercy of the Lord

is from everlasting to everlasting

upon those who fear Him,

and His righteousness to children's children,

18 to those who keep His covenant,

and to those who remember to do His commandments.

19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,

and His kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,

who are mighty, and do His commands,

and obey the voice of His word.

21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts;

you servants who do His pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all His works,

in all places of His dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!



Psalm 103

[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy

name.

[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

[3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

[4] Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with

lovingkindness and tender mercies;

[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed

like the eagle's.

[6] The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are

oppressed.

[7] He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

[8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in

mercy.

[9] He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

[10] He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to

our iniquities.

[11] For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward

them that fear him.

[12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our

transgressions from us.

[13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that

fear him.

[14] For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

[15] As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he

flourisheth.

[16] For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof

shall know it no more.

[17] But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them

that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

[18] To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his

commandments to do them.

[19] The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom

ruleth over all.

[20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his

commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

[21] Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his

pleasure.

[22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the

LORD, O my soul.
