Jeremiah 1 - 3
Jeremiah 1
The Commission of Jeremiah
1 (1Ch 6:60; 2Ch 36:21) The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah,
of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin,
2 to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah
the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
3 (2Ki 23:34; 2Ch 36:5-8) It came also in the days of Jehoiakim
the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah
the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the captivity of Jerusalem
in the fifth month.
4 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 (Isa 49:1; Ps 71:5-6) "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
and before you were born I sanctified you,
and I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
6 (Ex 6:12) Then I said, "Ah, Lord God! Truly, I cannot speak,
for I am a youth."
7 (Nu 22:20) But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am a youth.'
For you shall go everywhere that I send you,
and whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 (Ex 3:12; Jos 1:5) Do not be afraid of their faces.
For I am with you to deliver you," says the Lord.
9 (Ex 4:11-12; 4:15-16) Then the Lord put forth His hand
and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,
"Now, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 (Jer 31:28; 24:6) See, I have this day set you over the nations
and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down,
to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant."
The Almond Rod and Boiling Pot
11 (Am 7:8) Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
"Jeremiah, what do you see?"
And I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree."
12 Then the Lord said to me, "You have seen well. For I will hasten
My word to perform it."
13 (Eze 11:3; 11:7) The word of the Lord came to me the second time,
saying, "What do you see?"
And I said, "I see a boiling pot, and it is facing away from the north."
14 (Isa 41:25; Jer 4:6) Then the Lord said to me: Out of the north calamity
will break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.
15 (Jer 4:16; 9:11) For I will call all the families of the kingdoms
of the north, says the Lord.
And they will come and they will set each one his throne
at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
and against all the walls all around,
and against all the cities of Judah.
16 (Jer 7:9; 19:4) I will utter My judgments against them
concerning all their wickedness, whereby they have forsaken Me
and have burned incense to other gods,
and have worshipped the works of their own hands.
17 (1Ki 18:46; Job 38:3) You therefore gird up your loins
and arise, and speak to them all that I command you.
Do not be dismayed at their faces, lest I confound you before them.
18 (Isa 50:7; Jer 6:27) For indeed, I have made you this day a fortified city
and an iron pillar and bronze walls against the whole land,
against the kings of Judah, against the officials, against the priests,
and against the people of the land.
19 (Jer 1:8) They will fight against you, but they will not prevail
against you, for I am with you, says the Lord, to deliver you.
Jeremiah 2
God Pleads With Israel to Repent
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 (Dt 2:7; Eze 16:8) Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying,
Thus says the Lord:
I remember you, the kindness of your youth,
the love of your espousals,
when you followed Me in the wilderness,
in a land that was not sown.
3 (Jas 1:18; Ex 19:5-6) Israel is holy to the Lord,
and the first fruits of His harvest.
All who eat of it will become guilty;
disaster will come upon them,
says the Lord.
4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob
and all the families of the house of Israel.
5 (2Ki 17:15; Jer 2:31) Thus says the Lord:
What iniquity have your fathers found inMe,
that they have gone far from Me,
and have walked after vanity
and have become vain?
6 (Dt 32:10; Hos 13:4) They did not say, "Where is the Lord
who brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
who led us through the wilderness,
through a land of deserts and of pits,
through a land of drought and of the shadow of death,
through a land that no man passed through and where no man lived?"
7 (Dt 8:7-9; Jer 16:18) And I brought you into a plentiful country
to eat its fruit and its goodness.
But when you entered, you defiled My land
and made My heritage an abomination.
8 (Hab 2:18; Jer 5:31) The priests did not say,
"Where is the Lord?"
And those who handle the law did not know Me;
the shepherds also transgressed against Me,
and the prophets prophesied by Baal
and walked after things that do not profit.
9 (Eze 20:35-36; Jer 2:35) Therefore I will yet contend with you,
says the Lord,
and with your sons' sons I will contend.
10 (Ps 120:5) For pass over the coastlands of Cyprus and see,
and send to Kedar and consider diligently,
and see if there is such a thing.
11 (Ps 106:20; Isa 37:19) Has a nation changed their gods,
though they are not gods?
But My people have changed their glory
for that which does not profit.
12 (Isa 1:2) Be astonished at this, O heavens,
and be horribly afraid, be very desolate,
says the Lord.
13 (Ps 36:9; Jer 17:13) For My people have committed two evils.
They have forsaken Me,
the fountain of living waters,
and hewed out for themselves cisterns,
broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
14 (Ex 4:22) Is Israel a servant? Is he a homeborn slave?
Why has he been plundered?
15 (Jer 4:7; 50:17) The young lions roared at him
and roared loudly,
and they made his land a waste;
his cities have been destroyed, without inhabitant.
16 (Jer 46:14; Dt 33:20) Also the men of Memphis and Tahpanhes
have shaved the crown of your head.
17 (Jer 4:18) Have you not brought this on yourself,
in that you have forsaken the Lord your God
when He led you in the way?
18 (Jos 13:3; Isa 31:1) And now what are you doing in the way of Egypt,
to drink the waters of the Nile?
Or what are you doing in the way of Assyria,
to drink the waters of the River?
19 (Isa 3:9; Hos 5:5) Your own wickedness will correct you,
and your backslidings will reprove you.
Know therefore and see
that it is an evil thing and bitter for you
to have forsaken the Lord your God,
and the fear of Me is not in you,
says the Lord God of Hosts.
20 (Dt 12:2; Lev 26:13; Isa 1:21) For long ago I have broken your yoke
and burst your bonds;
and you said, "I will not serve."
For upon every high hill
and under every green tree
you wander, playing the harlot.
21 (Ex 15:17; Ps 80:8) Yet I had planted you a noble vine,
a wholly faithful seed.
How then have you turned
into the degenerate plant of a strange vine to Me?
22 (Job 14:17; Jer 17:1) For though you wash yourself with lye,
and take much soap,
yet your iniquity is marked before Me,
says the Lord God.
23 (Jer 7:31; Pr 30:12) How can you say, "I am not polluted,
I have not gone after the Baals"?
See your way in the valley.
Know what you have done.
You are a swift young camel
entangling her ways,
24 (Jer 14:6) a wild donkey used to the wilderness
that sniffs the wind in her passion.
In the time of her heat, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
in her month they shall find her.
25 (Dt 32:16; Jer 3:13) Withhold your foot from being unshod
and your throat from thirst.
But you said, "There is no hope. No!
For I have loved strangers,
and after them I will go."
26 (Jer 32:32) As the thief is ashamed when he is found,
so is the house of Israel ashamed.
They, their kings, their officials,
and their priests, and their prophets
27 (Isa 26:16) say to a tree, "You are my father."
And to a stone, "You gave birth to me."
For they have turned their back to Me,
and not their face.
But in the time of their trouble they will say,
"Arise and save us."
28 (Dt 32:37; Isa 45:20) But where are your gods
that you have made for yourself?
Let them arise, if they can save you
in the time of your trouble;
for according to the number of your cities
are your gods, O Judah.
29 (Jer 5:1; 6:13) Why will you plead with Me?
You all have transgressed against Me,
says the Lord.
30 (Ne 9:26; 1Th 2:15) In vain I have smitten your children;
they received no correction.
Your own sword has devoured your prophets
like a destroying lion.
31 (Dt 32:15O) generation, consider the word of the Lord:
Have I been a wilderness to Israel?
A land of darkness?
Why do My people say, "We are free to roam.
We will come no more to You"?
32 (Ps 106:21; Isa 17:10) Can a virgin forget her ornaments,
or a bride her attire?
Yet My people have forgotten Me
for days without number.
33 You prepare your way very well to seek love.
Therefore you have also taught the wicked women your ways.
34 (2Ki 21:16; 24:4) Also in your skirts is found
the blood of the souls of the innocent poor.
I have not found it by breaking in,
but in spite of all these things.
35 (Pr 28:13) Yet you say, "Because I am innocent,
surely His anger shall turn away from me."
Now I will plead with you,
because you say, "I have not sinned."
36 (Jer 31:22; Hos 5:13) Why do you go about so much
to change your way?
You also shall be ashamed of Egypt,
as you were ashamed of Assyria.
37 (2Sa 13:19; Jer 37:7-10) Indeed, you shall go forth from him
with your hands upon your head;
for the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,
and you shall not prosper in them.
Jeremiah 3
Unfaithful Israel
1 (Dt 24:1-4; Jer 2:20) If a man divorces his wife,
and she goes from him and becomes another man’s,
shall he return to her again?
Shall not that land be greatly polluted?
But you have played the harlot with many lovers;
yet return again to Me,
says the Lord.
2 (Ge 38:14; Jer 2:7) Lift up your eyes to the high places,
and see! Where have you not been ravished?
In the roads you have sat for them
as the Arabian in the wilderness.
And you have polluted the land
with your harlotry and with your wickedness.
3 (Jer 6:15; Lev 26:19) Therefore the showers have been withheld,
and there has been no latter rain.
And you had a harlot's forehead;
you refused to be ashamed.
4 (Jer 2:2; 3:19) Shall you not from this time cry to Me,
"My Father, You are the guide of my youth?
5 (Isa 57:16; Jer 3:12) Shall He reserve His anger forever?
Shall He keep it to the end?"
Indeed, you have spoken
and done evil things as you could.
A Call to Repentance
6 The Lord said also to me in the days of Josiah the king:
Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done?
She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree,
and there has played the harlot.
7 (Eze 16:46) I said after she had done all these things, "Turn to Me."
But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 (Dt 24:1; Isa 50:1) I saw that for all the adulteries of backsliding Israel,
I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce. Yet her treacherous
sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
9 (Jer 2:27; Isa 57:6) Through the lightness of her harlotry
she defiled the land and committed adultery with stones and with trees.
10 (Hos 7:14) Yet for all this, her treacherous sister Judah has not
turned to Me with her whole heart, but feignedly, says the Lord.
God Invites Repentance
11 (Eze 16:51-52; 23:11) The Lord said to me: Backsliding Israel has proved
herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
12 (Ps 86:15; Eze 33:11) Go and proclaim these words toward the north,
and say: Return, backsliding Israel, says the Lord,
and I will not cause My anger to fall on you.
For I am merciful, says the Lord,
and I will not keep anger forever.
13 (Dt 12:2; 30:1-3) Only acknowledge your iniquity,
that you have transgressed against the Lord your God
and have scattered your ways to the strangers
under every green tree,
and you have not obeyed My voice,
says the Lord.
14 (Isa 54:5; Jer 31:32) Return, O backsliding sons, says the Lord.
For I am married to you. And I will take you, one from a city
and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.
15 (Ac 20:28; Jer 23:4) And I will give you shepherds according to My heart,
who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 (Isa 65:17) It shall come to pass when you are multiplied
and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, they will say no more,
"The ark of the covenant of the Lord."
And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it,
nor will they call for it, nor will it be made any more.
17 (Jer 11:8; 17:12) At that time they will call Jerusalem,
the Throne of the Lord, and all the nations will be gathered to it,
to Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord; nor will they walk any more
after the stubbornness of their evil hearts.
18 (Jer 31:8; 50:4) In those days the house of Judah will walk
with the house of Israel, and they will come together out of the land
of the north to the land that I have given to your fathers for an inheritance.
19 (Jer 3:4; Isa 63:16) But I said:
How can I put you among My sons
and give you a pleasant land,
the most beautiful heritage of the nations?
And I said: You shall call Me, My Father,
and shall not turn away from Me.
20 (Isa 48:8; Jer 5:11) Surely as a wife treacherously departs
from her husband, so you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,
says the Lord.
21 (Isa 15:2; 17:10) A voice was heard upon the high places,
the weeping and the supplications of the sons of Israel,
because they have perverted their way,
they have forgotten the Lord their God.
22 (Hos 14:4) Return, O backsliding sons,
and I will heal your backslidings.
"We come to You;
for You are the Lord our God.
23 (Ps 3:8; 121:1-2) Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills,
and from the multitude of mountains.
Truly, in the Lord our God
is the salvation of Israel.
24 (Hos 9:10) For shame has devoured the labor
of our fathers from our youth,
their flocks and their herds,
their sons and their daughters.
25 (Jer 22:21) We lie down in our shame,
and our humiliation covers us.
For we have sinned against the Lord our God,
we and our fathers,
from our youth even to this day,
and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.â€

entitled Rise Again
Proverbs 24:15-18
Saying Twenty-Seven
15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
do not spoil his resting place;
16 (Job 5:19; Ps 37:24) for a just man falls seven times and rises up again,
but the wicked will fall into mischief.
Saying Twenty-Eight
17 (Job 31:29; Ps 35:15) Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
18 lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him,
and He turn away His wrath from him.
Olympic runner Ryan Hall is the US record-holder for the half marathon.
He completed the event distance of 13.1 miles (21 kilometers)
in a remarkable time of 59 minutes and 43 seconds, making him
the first US athlete to run the race in under one hour.
While Hall has celebrated record-setting victories,
he's also known the disappointment of not being able to finish a race.
Having tasted both success and failure, Hall credits his faith in Jesus
for sustaining him. One of his favorite Bible verses is an encouraging
reminder from the book of Proverbs that “for a just man falls seven times
and rises up again†(24:16). This proverb reminds us that the righteous,
those who trust in and have a right relationship with God,
will still experience difficulties and hardships.
However, as they continue to seek Him even in the midst of difficulty,
God is faithful to give them the strength to rise again.
Have you recently experienced a devastating disappointment or failure
and feel like you'll never recover? Scripture encourages us not to rely
on our strength but to continue to put our confidence in God
and His promises. As we trust Him, God's Spirit gives us strength
for every difficulty we encounter in this life, from the seemingly
mundane to significant struggles (2 Corinthians 12:9).
By: Lisa M. Samra
Reflect & Pray
How has God strengthened you after a difficult disappointment?
How does that give you encouragement for the struggles you face today?
Heavenly Father, thank You that in every trial and disappointment
You're always close, offering comfort and strength to help me rise again.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 6 - It is Finished
John 5:24
24 (Jn 3:18; 1Jn 3:14; Jn 3:36) "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "
"PLEASE BE PATIENT - GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET,"
the sweatshirt read. In this case, the message was an ironic one,
for the occupant of the shirt was a snaggle-toothed, freckle-faced six year
old!
In one sense, God is not finished with the work he has to do in each of us.
Life in Christ is an ongoing process of change and growth as we become
more like him. Certainly, the more we see of ourselves, the more we hope
he isn't finished with us!
Yet whatever plans God has for making us into the men and women he created
us to be, certain aspects of our life in Christ are finisehd, finalised.
Jesus declares with absolute assurance, "whoever hears
My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life
and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "
Because we do not have to earn or deserve God's grace, because we are not
called to prove ourselves worthy of Salvation, we can have immediate
and total assurance of the security of life in Jesus Christ. The one who
put his trust in the Lord has eternal life; he will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life.
This "crossing over" into life happens in the split second when we acknowledge
our dependence upon Christ alone. And the rest of our lives is given over to
the devleopemnt of his image in us.
God is not finished with us yet. But his wokr of salvation is finished - complete,
fully dependable an accomplished fact.
Application
a) Have I ever doubted the "accomplished fact" of my own salvation? Why?
b) How can today's verse help me realise that, although I may have a lot of
growing yet to do, my salvation in Jesus Christ is secure?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Gen 14:22-23
22 (Ex 6:8; Da 12:7) But Abram said to the king of Sodom,
"I have lifted up my hand to the Lord, God Most High,
the Possessor of heaven and earth,
23 (2Ki 5:16; Est 9:15–16) that I will take nothing that is yours,
not a thread or a sandal strap; lest you say, 'I have made Abram rich.'"
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Unfailing Love
Lamen 3:19-24
19 (La 3:5; 3:15) Remember my affliction and my misery,
the wormwood and the gall.
20 (Ps 42:5-6; 42:11) Surely my soul remembers
and is humbled within me.
21 (Ps 130:7) But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
22 (Mal 3:6; Ps 78:38) It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed;
His compassions do not fail.
23 (Zep 3:5; Ps 36:5) They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness.
24 (Ps 16:5; 73:26) "The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in Him."
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
New Brunswick
Total population 753900
Muslim population (est.) 4543
Moncton, followed by Fredericton and Saint John, each have a growing Muslim
population in New Brunswick, In 2007, the buliding that was formerly a Baptist
chruch was converted into Moncton's 1st mosque. The University of Moncton
also has a Muslim studentt association hosting prayer services, fellowship
getherings, and outreaches on campus.
Fredericton also has one mosque and a Muslim student assoication serving the
campusus of the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University.
Fredericton's MUslim population consists in 2014 of about 50 families,
and between 300 to 400 university students.
Saint John is home to the 1st Muslim Association for the province,
which also helped foster the Islamic asociations of Fredericton and Moncton.
a 'musalla', or prayer location that is not officially structured as a mosque,
has been established in the Uptown area with the intention of seeing it grow
into a 2nd official place of Muslim worship. Demand for this new location has
been primarily for university students moving into the area.
Pray for Muslims and New Brunswick
- that the eyes of pastors, believers and entire congregations will be opened
to see this growing body of Muslims, and their hearts will be opened
to sharing God's love in JEsus Christ with them
- that intentional ministries to Muslims will grow and flourish in these
areas of concentration
- that cooperative CNNMM Networks will form to really, encourage,
and equip believers to lovingly reach Muslims in this province.

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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'
- 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, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

Deut 4:6-7
6 (Job 28:28; Pr 1:7) Therefore, keep and do them,
for this is your wisdom
and your understanding in the sight of the
nations which shall hear all these statutes,
and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise
and understanding people."
7 (2Sa 7:23; Ps 46:1) For what nation is there so great,
who has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is
in all things whenever we call on Him?
Matt 5:13-16
13 (Lev 2:13; Lk 14:34-35) "You are the salt of the earth.
But if the salt loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty?
It is from then on good for nothing but to be thrown out
and to be trampled underfoot by men.
14 (Jn 8:12; Pr 4:18)"You are the light of the world.
A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
