Exodus 28 - 29



EXODUS 28



The Priestly Garments



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

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

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

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

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

for your brother Aaron, for glory and for beauty.

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

who are specially skilled, whom I have filled

with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make

Aaron's garments to consecrate him,

that he may minister to Me as a priest.

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

which they shall make: a breastplate,

and an ephod, and a robe,

and an embroidered coat,

a turban, and a sash.

They shall make holy garments for Aaron

your brother and his sons,

that he may minister to Me as priest.

5 They shall take the gold, the blue,

the purple, and the scarlet, and fine linen.



The Ephod



Ex 39:2–7



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

and of purple, of scarlet,

and fine twined linen,

the work of a skilled workman.

7 It shall have the two shoulder pieces attached

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

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

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

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

and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

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

of the children of Israel,

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

on the other stone, according to their birth.

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

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

You shall set them in filigree of gold.

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

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

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

as a memorial.

13 You shall make filigree settings of gold,

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

and fasten the braided chains to the filigree settings.



The Breastplate



Ex 39:8–21



15 You shall make the breastplate of judgment,

the work of a skillful workman.

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

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

and of fine twisted linen you shall make it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They shall be set in gold filigree.

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

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

each like the engravings of a signet,

every one according to his name for the twelve tribes.

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

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

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

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

which are on the ends of the breastplate.

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

in the two filigree settings and put them

on the front of the shoulder pieces of the ephod.

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

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

which is toward the inner side of the ephod.

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

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

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

waistband of the ephod.

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

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

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

come loose from the ephod.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



Other Priestly Garments



Ex 39:22–31



31 You shall make the robe of the ephod completely blue.

32 There shall be a hole at the top of it, in the middle of it.

Around its opening it shall have a binding of woven work,

like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn.

33 You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue,

and of purple, and of scarlet, all around its hem,

and bells of gold between them all around:

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate,

all around on the hem of the robe.

35 It shall be on Aaron when he ministers.

And its sound shall be heard when he goes

into the holy place before the Lord,

and when he comes out, so that he does not die.

36 (Zec 14:20; Lev 8:9) You shall make a plate of pure gold

and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet,

HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

37 You shall put it on a blue cord, so that it may be upon the turban.

It is to be on the front of the turban.

38 (Lev 10:17; Nu 18:1) It shall be on Aaron's forehead,

so that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things

which the children of Israel shall consecrate in regard

to all their holy gifts. And it shall always be on his forehead,

so that they may be accepted before the Lord.

39 You shall embroider the tunic of fine linen,

and you shall make the turban of fine linen,

and you shall make the sash, the work of an embroiderer.

and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them,

and sanctify them, that they may minister to Me as priests.

42 (Lev 6:10; 16:4) You shall make linen undergarments for them to

cover their naked skin. They shall reach from the waist to the thighs.

43 (Ex 27:21; 20:26) They shall be on Aaron and on his sons

when they come into the tent of meeting or when they come

near to the altar to minister in the holy place,

EXODUS 29



Consecration of the Priests



Lev 8:1–36



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

to minister as priests to Me:

Take one young bull and two rams without blemish,

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

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

3 You shall put them into one basket and bring them in the basket

with the bull and the two rams.

4 (Ex 40:12; Heb 10:22) Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door

of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

5 You shall take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic

and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the breastplate,

and gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

6 (Lev 8:9) And you shall put the turban on his head

and put the holy crown on the turban.

7 (Lev 21:10; Nu 35:25) Then shall you take the anointing oil

and pour it on his head and anoint him.

8 (Lev 8:13; Ex 28:40) You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them.

9 (Nu 18:7; Lev 8:22-28) You shall gird them with sashes,

Aaron and his sons, and put the headbands on them,

and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute.

Thus you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

10 (Lev 1:4; 8:14) Then you shall bring a bull before the tent of meeting,

and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the bull.

11 You shall kill the bull before the Lord

by the door of the tent of meeting.

12 (Ex 27:2; Lev 8:15) You shall take of the blood of the bull,

and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger,

and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.

13 (Lev 3:3–4) You shall take all the fat that covers the entrails,

and the lobe that is above the liver, and the two kidneys,

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

14 (Lev 4:11–12; 4:21) But the flesh of the bull, its skin,

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

It is a sin offering.

15 (Ex 29:19) You shall also take one ram, and Aaron

and his sons shall put their hands on the head of the ram.

16 You shall slay the ram, and you shall take its blood

and sprinkle it around on the altar.

17 Then you shall cut the ram in pieces,

and wash its entrails and its legs,

and put them with its pieces and its head.

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

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

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

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

and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands

on the head of the ram.

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

and put it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron,

and on the tip of the right ear of his sons,

and on the thumb of their right hand,

and on the great toe of their right foot,

and sprinkle the blood around on the altar.

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

that is on the altar and some of the anointing

oil and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments,

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

So he and his garments shall be consecrated,

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

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

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

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them

and the right shoulder (for it is a ram of consecration),

23 (Ex 29:2-3) and one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread,

and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread

that is before the Lord.

24 (Lev 7:30; 8:27) And you shall put all of these in the hands of Aaron

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

before the Lord.

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

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

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

26 (Lev 8:29) You shall take the breast of Aaron's ram of consecration,

and wave it as a wave offering before the Lord,

and it shall be your portion.

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

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

that is contributed from the ram of the consecration,

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

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

for it is a contribution.

It shall be a contribution from the children of Israel

from their peace offerings, their contributions to the Lord.

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

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

and be ­consecrated in them.

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

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

minister in the holy place.

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

and boil its flesh in a holy place.

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

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

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

was made in order to consecrate and sanctify them,

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

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

or from the bread remain until the morning,

then you shall burn the remainder with fire.

It shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and whatever touches the altar will be holy.



The Daily Offerings



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

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

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

and the other lamb you must offer at sundown.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and it will be consecrated by My glory.

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

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

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

and will be their God.

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

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

I am the Lord their God.





2) Our Daily Bread for 2 Feb 2021

https://www.odb.org/CA/2021/02/08/trust-the-light

entitled Trust the Light



John 12:25–33 , 35–36



25 (Mt 10:39; Lk 14:26) He who loves his life will lose it.

And he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

26 (Jn 14:3; 17:24) If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me.

Where I am, there will My servant be also.

If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up

27 (Lk 22:53; Jn 13:21) "Now My soul is troubled.

What shall I say? 'Father, save Me from this hour'? ­

Instead, for this reason I came to this hour.

28 (Mt 3:17; 17:5) Father, glorify Your name."

Then a voice came from heaven, saying,

"I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."

29 The crowd that stood by and heard

it said that it had thundered.

Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."

30 (Jn 11:42) Jesus answered, "This voice came not

for My sake, but for your sakes.

31 (Jn 14:30; 2Co 4:4; Eph 6:12) Now judgment is upon

this world. Now the ruler of

this world will be cast out.

32 (Jn 6:44; 3:14; 8:28) And if I be lifted up from the earth,

I will draw all men to Myself."

33 (Jn 18:32; 21:19) He said this to signify

by what kind of death He would die.

...

35 (Jn 12:46; Eph 5:8) Then Jesus said to them,

"Yet a little while the light is with you.

Walk while you have the light,

lest darkness overtake you.

He who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.

36 (Lk 16:8; Jn 8:59) While you have light,

believe in the light that you may become sons of light."

Jesus said these things, and departed and hid Himself from them.





The weather forecast said bomb cyclone.

That's what happens when a winter storm rapidly intensifies

as the atmospheric pressure drops. By the time night fell,

the blizzard conditions made the highway to the Denver airport

almost impossible to see. Almost. But when it's your daughter

who's flying home to visit, you do what you have to do.

You pack extra clothes and water (just in case you get stranded

on the highway), drive very slowly, pray without ceasing,

and last but not least, trust your headlights.

And sometimes you can achieve the almost impossible.



Jesus foretold of a storm on the horizon,

one that would involve His death (John 12:31-33),

and one that would challenge His followers to stay

faithful and serve (v. 26).

It was going to get dark and be almost impossible to see.

Almost. So what did Jesus tell them to do?

Believe, or trust, the Light (v. 36).

That was the only way they could keep going forward and stay faithful.



Jesus would only be with them a little while longer.

But believers have His Spirit as our constant guide to light the way.

We too will face dark times when it’s almost impossible to see the

way ahead. Almost. But by believing, or trusting in the Light,

we can press on.



By: John Blase





Reflect & Pray



What dark season have you been through lately?

How did Jesus, the Light, help you keep going?



Jesus, thank You for being the light in my darkness.

Help me to trust and keep going.





3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 2 - Growing Up



2 Tim 3:16-17



16 (Ro 15:4) All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable

for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction

in righteousness,

17 (1Ti 6:11; 2Ti 2:21) that the man of God may be complete,

thoroughly equipped for every good work.



"I can't wait till I get big!" Marc, age 5, declared. "Then I do

what I want!" Most of us, as children, shared Marc's statement.

We looked forward to that "magic age" - 16, 18, 21 - when we

would be adults: mature, able to make our own decisions.

We find, of course, that adulthood has its own share of

difficulties and conflicts. But even in our spiritual lives

we often long for a "magic moment" of maturity. As one woman

confessed, "Ever since I became a Christian, I've hoped I'd wake up

one morning to find myself mature."

But growth in the spiritual life comes gradually, like growth in

the physical world. In 2 Tim 2:16-17, Paul gives the young pastor

Timothy an important key to spiritual growing up - the Word of God.

Thw Word is "profitable" or "useful," Pual says, for "teaching" - that is,

for developing a right concept of God. Scripture offers "rebuke" when

we go wrong, "correction" to set us on the right path, and "training

in righteousness" so that we can grow in the image of Christ.

The purpose of Scripture's work in our lives, Paul emphasises,

is that we may be "perfect" - mature, equipped for the good things

God has for us to do. Such maturity does not come easily

or instantaneously, but it does come - sometimes imperceptibly -

as we submit our lives to the transforming power of God's Word.



Application



a) In what areas of my life do I need to grow? How can I benefit

from the Bible's

i) teaching?

ii) rebuke?

iii) correction?

iv) training in righteousness?



b) How can memorising God's Word help me grow in those areas?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



2 Chr 26:5



5 (2 Ch 24:2; Da 1:17) And he sought after God in the days of Zechariah,

the one who instructed him in the fear of the Lord. And in the days

that he sought after the Lord, God caused him to succeed.





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



God's Gift of Salvation



Ps 40:1-3,9-11



PSALMS 40



1 I waited patiently for the Lord,

and He turned to me, and heard my cry.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,

out of the miry clay,

and set my feet on a rock,

and established my steps.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He has put a new song in my mouth,

even praise to our God;

many will see it, and fear,

and will trust in the Lord.

...

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) I have proclaimed righteousness

in the great congregation;

I have not held back my lips,

O Lord, You know.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) I have not hidden Your righteousness

within my heart;

I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;

I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth

from the great congregation.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O Lord;

may Your lovingkindness and Your truth always guard me.





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."





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





Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



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

Alberta maoy have a total as hihg as 195240 today.

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

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

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

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

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

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

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

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

Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom

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



Please join us in praying for:

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

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

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

in their faith and the Church.

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

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

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

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

in these growing Muslim population centres.

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







Under the Keep Praying page







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



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



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



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



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



decorated and festivals will be held.







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



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



Islam.







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



which means Blessed Eid!"







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



know, and Muslims around the world:







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



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



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



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



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



relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



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



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



your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,



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



18 Even on My menservants and maidservants



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



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



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



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



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







Footnotes



Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective



discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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



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



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



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



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



house."







Ideas for prayer







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



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



Christ among Muslim people -



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



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



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







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



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



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

https://www.odb.org/CA/2021/02/07/recovering-whats-lost

entitled Recovering What’s Lost



1 Sam 30:1-6,18-19



David Defeats the Amalekites

1 (1Sa 15:7; 29:11) Now when David and his men came

to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had raided

the south as far as Ziklag.

They had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire.

2 (1Sa 27:11) They had taken as captives

all the women who were there.

They did not kill anyone,

but carried them off and went on their way.

3 David and his men came to the city,

and they found it burned with fire,

and their wives, their sons,

and their daughters taken captive.

4 (Nu 14:1) So David and the people

that were with him lifted up their voice

and wept until they had no strength in them to weep.

5 (1Sa 25:42–43; 2Sa 2:2) Now David's two wives

were taken captive, Ahin­oam the Jezreelitess

and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6 (Ex 17:4; Nu 14:10) David was greatly distressed,

for the people talked of stoning him,

because all the people were bitter in spirit,

each over his sons and daughters.

But David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

...

18 So David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken,

and David rescued his two wives.

19 (1Sa 30:8) Now there was nothing missing,

from the smallest thing to the greatest,

neither sons, nor daughters, or plunder,

or anything which they had taken.

David brought back all of it.



At the phone store, the young pastor steeled himself for bad news.

His smartphone, accidentally dropped during our Bible class,

was a total loss, right? Actually, no. The store clerk recovered

all of the pastor's data, including his Bible videos and photos.

She also recovered "every photo I'd ever deleted," he said.

The store also "replaced my broken phone with a brand-new phone."

As he said, "I recovered all I had lost and more."



David once led his own recovery mission

after an attack by the vicious Amalekites.

Spurned by Philistine rulers, David and his army

discovered the Amalekites had raided and burned down

their town of Ziklag - taking captive "the women and everyone else in it,"

including all their wives and children (1 Samuel 30:2-3).

"So David and his men wept aloud until they had

no strength left to weep" (v. 4). The soldiers were so bitter

with their leader David that they talked of "stoning him" (v. 6).



“But David found strength in the Lord his God" (v. 6).

As God promised, David pursued the Amalekites and

"recovered everything the Amalekites had taken . . . .

Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl,

plunder or anything else they had taken.

David brought everything back" (vv. 18–19).

As we face spiritual attacks that "rob" us even of hope,

may we find renewed strength in God. He will be with

us in every challenge of life.



By: Patricia Raybon









Reflect & Pray



What spiritual attacks or life loss are you experiencing?

Turning from your despair to God, how will you find renewed strength in Him?



God, help me to find hope in You even as I face life's challenges.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 1 - God's Perspective



Philip 4:13



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

of Christ who strengthens me.



Many of us live out self-fulfilling prophecies. We believe

what we tell ourselves - or what we have been told by others:

"You're stupid", "You're ugly", "You'll never amount to anything,"

"You can't do anything right."

We programme ourselvesfor spiritual failure as well.

"I just can't memorise Scripture," we say. "It comes and goes,

and I can't seem to get it to stay." Yet daily we memorise

volumes of information that is less significant than the

Sciptures - telephone numbers, identification codes,

songs lyrics, advertising jingles.

The answer to the dilemma of negativism is not positive

thinking, but right thinking - biblical thinking, according

to what the Bible reveals of God's perspective. God says,

"You are worthwhile. You are valued. You are loved. I created you

just as you are, and whatever I call you to do,

I will give you the strength to do it.:

The context of Phillipians 4:13 shows that Paul had learned

this important secret of spiritual strength. Paul had known

poverty and plenty, trouble and victory. But he also knew

he did not have to let circumstances dtermine his response to God's will.

We need not be controlled by the negative messages life throws in our paths

- even those self-defeating pronouncements we make to ourselves.

Rather, we can respond according to God's perspective, with the

conviction that God has given us strength we need to meet the

challenges we face.



Application



a) What challenges do I face that make me realise my own insufficiencies?

IS memorising Scripture one of those challenges for me?



b) How does today's memory verse help me face those challenges?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:23-29



23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15) "If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.

The measure you give will be measured for you,

and to you who hear will more be given.

25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.

And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."



The Parable of the Growing Seed



26 (Mt 13:24) He said, "The kingdom of God is like a man

who scatters seed on the ground.

27 (Ecc 11:5) He sleeps and rises night and day,

and the seed sprouts and grows; he does not know how.

28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade,

then the head, then the full seed in the head.

29 (Joel 3:13) But when the grain is ripe,

immediately he applies the sickle because the harvest has come."

God's Gift of Salvation



Ps 51:1-13



PSALMS 51



For the Music Director. A Psalm of David,

when Nathan the Prophet came to him,

after he had gone in to Bathsheba.



1 Have mercy on me, O God,

according to Your lovingkindness;

according to the abundance of Your compassion,

blot out my transgressions.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2 ) Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

and cleanse me from my sin.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For I acknowledge my transgressions,

and my sin is ever before me.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Against You, You only, have I sinned,

and done this evil in Your sight,

so that You are justified when You speak,

and You are blameless when You judge.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I was brought forth in iniquity,

and in sin my mother conceived me.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9) You desire truth in the inward parts,

and in the hidden part You make me to know wisdom.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 ) Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Make me to hear joy and gladness,

that the bones that You have broken may rejoice.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Hide Your face from my sins,

and blot out all my iniquities.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Create in me a clean heart, O God,

and renew a right spirit within me.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not cast me away from Your presence,

and do not take Your Holy Spirit fromme.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,

and uphold me with Your willing spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,

and sinners will return to You.

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





Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



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

Alberta maoy have a total as hihg as 195240 today.

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

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

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

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

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

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

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

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

Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom

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



Please join us in praying for:

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

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

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

in their faith and the Church.

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

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

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

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

in these growing Muslim population centres.

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







Under the Keep Praying page







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



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



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



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



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



decorated and festivals will be held.







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



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



Islam.







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



which means Blessed Eid!"







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



know, and Muslims around the world:







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



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



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



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



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



relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



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



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



your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,



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



18 Even on My menservants and maidservants



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



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



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



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



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







Footnotes



Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective



discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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



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



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



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



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



house."







Ideas for prayer







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



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



Christ among Muslim people -



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



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



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







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



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



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

he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
