"They will surely die in the wilderness." And there was not a man left

of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

Laws of Inheritance



Nu 36:1–12



1 (Nu 26:33) Then came near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,

the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh,

of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and these are

the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.

2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,

and before the leaders and all the assembly by the door of the tent

of meeting, saying,

3 (Nu 26:64-65; 14:35) "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not

in the company of them that gathered against the Lord, in the company

of Korah, but died in his own sin and had no sons.

4 (Jos 17:4) Why should the name of our father diminish from among

his family, because he has no son? Give to us a possession

among the brothers of our father."

5 Moses brought their case before the Lord.

6 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.

You will certainly give them an inheritance among their father's brothers,

and you will cause the inheritance of their father to pass on to them.

8 You will speak to the children of Israel, saying, "If a man dies,

and has no son, then you will cause his inheritance

to pass on to his daughter.

9 If he has no daughter, then you will give his inheritance to his brothers.

10 If he has no brothers, then you will give his inheritance

to his father's brothers.

11 (Nu 35:29; Ru 4:3-6) If his father has no brothers, then you will give

his inheritance to his closest kinsman in his family, and he will possess it.

And it will be for the children of Israel a statute of judgment,

as the Lord commanded Moses."



Joshua to Succeed Moses



12 (Nu 33:47-48) The Lord said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim,

and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

13 (Nu 31:2; Dt 10:6_ When you have seen it, you also will be gathered

to your people as Aaron your brother was gathered.

14 (Ex 17:7; Nu 20:24) For you rebelled against My commandment in

the Wilderness of Zin when the congregation argued against Me.

You did not show My holiness at the waters before their eyes." (

These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.)

15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying,

16 (Nu 16:22) "Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh,

appoint a man over the assembly

17 (Dt 31:2; 1Ki 22:17) who will go out before them,

and who will go in before them, and who will lead them out,

and who will bring them in, so the assembly of the Lord

will not be like sheep who do not have a shepherd."

18 (Dt 34:9; Ge 41:38; Nu 27:23) The Lord said to Moses,

"Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit,

and lay your hand on him,

19 (Dt 3:28) and cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest

and before all the assembly, and command in their sight.

20 (Jos 1:16-18) You will put some of your majesty on him,

in order that all the assembly of the children of Israel will listen.

21 (Ex 28:30; Jos 9:14) He will stand before Eleazar the priest,

who will ask for him about the judgment of the Urim before the Lord.

At his word will they go out, and at his word they will come in, both

he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the assembly."

22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and he took Joshua,

and he caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest

and before all the assembly.

23 (Nu 27:19) And he laid his hands on him

and commanded him as the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.



2) Our Daily Bread for 6 Mar 2021

https://www.odb.org/CA/2021/03/06/minding-my-own-business

entitled Minding My Own Business



1 Thessalonians 4:9–12



9 (1Th 5:1; Ro 12:10) As concerning brotherly love, you do not need

me to write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.

10 (1Th 1:7; 3:12) And indeed, you do have love for all the brothers who are

in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, that you increase more and more.

11 (Eph 4:28; 1Pe 4:15) Learn to be calm, and to conduct your own business,

and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

12 (Mk 4:11; Ro 13:13) so that you may walk honestly toward

those who are outsiders and that you may lack nothing.



Years ago, my son Josh and I were making our way up

a mountain trail when we spied a cloud of dust rising in the air.

We crept forward and discovered a badger busy making a den in a dirt bank.

He had his head and shoulders in the hole and was vigorously digging

with his front paws and kicking the dirt out of the hole with his hind feet.

He was so invested in his work he didn't hear us.



I couldn't resist and prodded him from behind with a long stick lying nearby.

I didn't hurt the badger, but he leaped straight up in the air

and turned toward us. Josh and I set new world records for the 100-yard dash.



I learned something from my brashness: Sometimes it’s best not to poke around

in other people's business. That’s especially true in relationships

with fellow believers in Jesus. The apostle Paul encouraged the Thessalonians

to "make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own

business and work with your hands" (1 Thessalonians 4:11). We're to pray

for others and seek by God's grace to share the Scriptures, and occasionally

we may be called to offer a gentle word of correction. But learning to live

a quiet life and not meddling into others' lives is important.

It becomes an example to those who are now outside God's family (v. 12).

Our calling is to "love each other" (v. 9).



By: David H. Roper



Prayer and Reflction.



What happens when you meddle in other people’s business?

What's the first thing you should do instead for others?



God, teach me to know what it means to love others better.





3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 7 God's Bulldozer - Luke 3:5-6



5 (Isa 40:4; 42:16) Every valley shall be filled



and every mountain and hill shall be brought low;



and the crooked shall be made straight



and the rough ways shall be made smooth;



6 (Isa 40:5; 52:10) and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.



When a new highway is being constructed, the roads crew work hard

in preparing for the new surface to be laid. Giant bulldozers cut through

the hillsides, moving earth, leveling, filling, evening the path out where

the roadway will run. When the work is first begun, if often looks like chaos:

and even after the highway begins to take shape, the land is still ugly,

scarred by the unslighty gashes cut through the landscape. Yet after

the work is completed and the grass and trees are replanted, we forget

the temporary upheaval and see only the

beauty of the land and the convenience of the new roadway.



In Luke 3:5-6, John the Baptist presents a prophecy of the coming of Christ,

a prophecy quoted from Isaiah 40:3-5 . The prohecy speaks of the preparation

of the world for the coming Messiah, but ia also applies to the preparation

of the individual heart to receive him.



Sometimes, the Holy Spirit must do major work in our hearts to prepare us for

the coming of Christ into our live. Like a bulldozer, he brings down the

mountains of pride in our lives. He fille the empty places , correts the crooked,

grades down the rough edges of our hearts.



Often this is not pleasant work. We prefer to maintain the rugged landscape

of Self, and we do not like the ugly scars that are left after the bulldozer

has done its job.



But if we submit to the Sprit's "Construction work" in us, the way will be

paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and others will see in us,

the way be paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and other will see

in us the glory and salvation of our God.



Application



a) What "construction work" has to Holy Spirit done in me?



b) What restoration has taken plae because of that work?



c) How do today's verses help me put in prespetive the work

God still wnt to do in me?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Is 55:11



11 (Isa 45:23; 46:10) so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;



it shall not return to Me void,



but it shall accomplish that which I please,



and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.



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



When you are ill or injured



James 5:13-16



13 (Ps 50:15; Eph 5:19) Is anyone among you suffering?

Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms.

14 (Mk 6:13; 16:18; Ac 14:23) Is anyone sick among you?

Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord.

15 (Isa 33:24; Jas 1:6) And the prayer of faith will save

the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

16 (Ge 20:17; 18:23-32) Confess your faults to one another

and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.



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?)





Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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



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



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



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



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



decorated and festivals will be held.



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



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



Islam.



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



which means Blessed Eid!"





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



know, and Muslims around the world:



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



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



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



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



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



relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



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



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



your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,



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



18 Even on My menservants and maidservants



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



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



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



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



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





Footnotes



Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective



discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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



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



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



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



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



house."







Ideas for prayer







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



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



Christ among Muslim people -



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



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



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



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



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



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