LEVITICUS 8



The Consecration of Aaron and His Sons



Ex 29:1-37



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 28:2-4) Take Aaron and his sons with him,

and the garments, and the anointing oil,

and a bull for the sin offering,

and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread,

3 and gather all the congregation together

at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

4 And Moses did as the Lord commanded him,

and the assembly was gathered together

at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

5 Moses said to the congregation,

"This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done."

6 (Ex 29:4; 1Co 6:11) Moses brought Aaron and his sons

and washed them with water.

7 (Ex 28:4) Then he put the tunic on him, and tied the sash around him,

and clothed him with the robe, and putthe ephod upon him, and he girded

him with the decorative band of the ephod and bound the ephod to him.

8 (Ezr 2:63) He put the breastplate on him. He also put the Urim

and the Thummim in the breastplate.

9 Then he put the turban upon his head.

Also on the turban at the front he put the golden plate,

the holy crown, as the Lord commanded Moses.

10 Moses took the anointing oil,

and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it,

and sanctified them.

11 He sprinkled oil on the altar seven times and anointed the altar

and all its vessels, both the laver and its stand, to sanctify them.

12 (Ex 30:30; Ps 133:2) Then he poured some of the anointing oil

on the head of Aaron and anointed him to sanctify him.

13 (Ex 29:8-9) Moses brought the sons of Aaron and put tunics on them,

and girded them with sashes, and put headbands on them, as the Lord

commanded Moses.

14 (Eze 43:19) He brought the bull for the sin offering,

and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull

for the sin offering.

15 (Lev 4:7) He slaughtered it, and Moses took the blood,

and put it on the horns of the altar around it with his finger,

and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the base of the altar,

and sanctified it to make reconciliation on it.

16 (Ex 29:13) He took all the fat that was on the entrails,

and the appendage above the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat,

and Moses burned them on the altar.

17 (Lev 4:11-12; Ex 29:14) But the bull, and its hide, its flesh,

and its refuse he burned with fire outside the camp,

as the Lord commanded Moses.

18 (Lev 8:2) Then he brought the ram for the burnt offering,

and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

19 He killed it, and Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.

20 He cut the ram into pieces, and Moses burned the head, the pieces,

and the fat.

21 (Ex 29:18) He washed the entrails and the legs in water,

and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It was a burnt offering

for a pleasing aroma, and a food offering made by fire to the Lord,

as the Lord commanded Moses.

22 (Lev 8:2) Next he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration,

and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.

23 (Ex 29:20; Lev 14:14) He slaughtered it, and Moses took some

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

and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

24 He brought the sons of Aaron, and Moses put some of the blood

on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands,

and on the big toes of their right feet.

Then Moses sprinkled the blood on the sides of the altar.

25 He took the fat, and the fatty tail, and all the fat that was

on the entrails, and the appendage above the liver, and the two kidneys,

and their fat, and the right thigh,

26 (Ex 29:23) and out of the basket of unleavened bread that was before

the Lord he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread,

and one wafer and put them on the fat and on the right thigh.

27 And he put all these on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons

and waved them for a wave offering before the Lord.

28 (Ex 29:25) Then Moses took them from off their hands

and burned them on the altar with the burnt offering.

This was a consecration for a pleasing aroma,

an offering made by fire to the Lord.

29 Moses took the breast and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord.

This part of the ram of consecration was for Moses,

as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 (Nu 3:3; Ex 29:21) Then Moses took some of the anointing oil

and some of the blood which was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron,

and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons

with him and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons,

and the garments of his sons with him.

31 (Ex 29:31-32) Moses said to Aaron and to his sons,

"Boil the flesh at the entrance of the tent of meeting

and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations

just as I commanded, saying, 'Aaron and his sons shall eat it.'

32 (Ex 29:34) That which remains of the flesh

and of the bread you shall burn up.

33 (Ex 29:35) You shall not go out of the door of the tent of meeting

for seven days, until the days of your consecration are at an end,

for your consecration will take seven days.

34 (Heb 7:16) As he has done this day, so the Lord has commanded

what is to be done to make atonement for you.

35 (Nu 3:7; 9:19) Therefore you shall abide at the entrance of the tent

of meeting day and night for seven days and keep the charge of the Lord

that you do not die, for so I have been commanded."

36 So Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.



Leviticus 8

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing

oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of

unleavened bread;

[3] And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation.

[4] And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered

together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[5] And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD

commanded to be done.

[6] And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.

[7] And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and

clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him

with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.

[8] And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the

Urim and the Thummim.

[9] And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his

forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD

commanded Moses.

[10] And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all

that was therein, and sanctified them.

[11] And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the

altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.

[12] And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him,

to sanctify him.

[13] And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded

them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[14] And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons

laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.

[15] And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of

the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured

the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make

reconciliation upon it.

[16] And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and caul above the

liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the

altar.

[17] But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with

fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[18] And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons

laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

[19] And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round

about.

[20] And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the

pieces, and the fat.

[21] And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the

whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and

an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[22] And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and

his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.

[23] And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the

tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the

great toe of his right foot.

[24] And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of

their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the

great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar

round about.

[25] And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the

inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat,

and the right shoulder:

[26] And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he

took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put

them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:

[27] And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved

them for a wave offering before the LORD.

[28] And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar

upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is

an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

[29] And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the

LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD

commanded Moses.

[30] And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon

the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his

sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his

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

[31] And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that

is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his

sons shall eat it.

[32] And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn

with fire.

[33] And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an

end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.

[34] As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an

atonement for you.

[35] Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that

ye die not: for so I am commanded.

[36] So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the

hand of Moses.



(How blessed are in the Lord for being part of the priesthood?)



LEVITICUS 9



The Priestly Ministry Begins



1 And it came to pass on the eighth day that Moses called Aaron

and his sons and the elders of Israel.

2 (Lev 4:3; Ex 29:1) Then he said to Aaron, "

Take a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering,

without blemish, and offer them before the Lord.

3 (Lev 4:23; Ezr 6:17) To the children of Israel you shall speak, saying,

'Take a male goat for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb-both a year old

without blemish-for a burnt offering,

4 (Ex 29:43; Lev 9:6) also an ox and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice

before the Lord, and a grain offering mixed with oil.

For today the Lord will appear to you.' "

5 They brought that which Moses commanded before the tent of meeting,

and the entire congregation drew near and stood before the Lord.

6 (Ex 24:16; Lev 9:23) Moses said, "This is the thing which the Lord

commanded that you should do; then the glory of the Lord shall appear to you."

7 (Heb 5:3; 5:1) Then Moses said to Aaron, "Go to the altar,

and offer your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement

for yourself and for the people, and offer the sacrifice of the people,

and make atonement for them, as the Lord commanded."

8 Aaron therefore went to the altar and slaughtered the calf

of the sin offering which was for himself.

9 (Lev 4:6-7; 8:15) The sons of Aaron brought the blood to him,

and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it on the horns of the altar,

and poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

10 But the fat, the kidneys, and the appendage

above the liver of the sin offering he burned on the altar,

as the Lord commanded Moses.

11 (Lev 4:11-12; 8:17) The flesh and the hide he burned

with fire outside the camp.

12 He slaughtered the burnt offering,

and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,

which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar.

13 They presented the burnt offering to him,

with its pieces, and the head, and he burned them on the altar.

14 (Lev 8:21) He then washed the entrails and the legs

and burned them with the burnt offering on the altar.

15 (Lev 4:27-31; 9:3) He brought the people's offering,

and took the goat which was the sin offering for the people,

and slaughtered it, and offered it for sin as the first offering.

16 And he brought the burnt offering

and offered it according to its regulation.

17 (Lev 2:1-2) Then he brought the grain offering,

took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar,

besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

18 He slaughtered the ox and the ram as a sacrifice of peace offerings

for the people, and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him,

which he sprinkled on the sides of the altar,

19 and the fat of the ox and of the ram, the fatty tail,

and that which covers the entrails, and the kidneys,

and the appendage above the liver.

20 They put the fat pieces on the breasts,

and he burned the fat on the altar.

21 (Lev 7:30-34) But the breasts and the right thigh

Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord just

as Moses commanded.

22 (Dt 21:5; Lk 24:50) Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people,

and blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering,

the burnt offering, and peace offerings.

23 (Lev 9:6; Nu 16:19) Moses and Aaron went into the tent of meeting,

and when they came out they blessed the people,

and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.

24 (Jdg 6:21; 1Ki 18:38-39) A fire came out from before the Lord,

and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat that were on the altar.

When all the people saw this, they shouted and fell on their faces.



Leviticus 9

[1] And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his

sons, and the elders of Israel;

[2] And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a

ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.

[3] And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid

of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first

year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;

[4] Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the

LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear

unto you.

[5] And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the

congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.

[6] And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye

should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.

[7] And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin

offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for

the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for

them; as the LORD commanded.

[8] Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin

offering, which was for himself.

[9] And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his

finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out

the blood at the bottom of the altar:

[10] But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin

offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[11] And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.

[12] And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the

blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.

[13] And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces

thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.

[14] And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt

offering on the altar.

[15] And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the

sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the

first.

[16] And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the

manner.

[17] And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and

burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.

[18] He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace

offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the

blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,

[19] And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which

covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:

[20] And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the

altar:

[21] And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering

before the LORD; as Moses commanded.

[22] And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and

came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and

peace offerings.

[23] And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and

came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto

all the people.

[24] And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the

altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they

shouted, and fell on their faces.



LEVITICUS 10



The Death of Nadab and Abihu



1 (Lev 16:12; Nu 26:61; Ex 24:1) Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron,

each took his censer and put fire in it, and put incense on it,

and offered strange fire before the Lord,

which He did not command them to do.

2 (Nu 26:61; Lev 9:24; Nu 16:35) Then a fire came out from the Lord

and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

3 (Eze 28:22; Ex 19:22) Then Moses said to Aaron,

"This is what the Lord spoke, saying:

'I will be sanctified

by those who come near Me;

and before all the people

I will be glorified.' "

And Aaron held his peace.

4 (Ex 6:22; 6:18) Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel

the uncle of Aaron, and said to them,

"Come near, and carry your brothers

from before the sanctuary out of the camp."

5 So they went near, and carried them in their tunics

out of the camp as Moses had said.

6 (Nu 16:22; Jos 7:1) Moses said to Aaron,

and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons,

"Do not let your hair be loosely disheveled,

nor rend your clothes, lest you die,

and lest wrath come upon all the people.

Instead, let your brothers, the whole house of Israel,

mourn the burning which the Lord has caused.

7 (Lev 21:12; Ex 28:41) You shall not go out from the entrance

of the tent of meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil

of the Lord is upon you." And they did according to the word of Moses.

8 The Lord spoke to Aaron, saying:

9 (Lk 1:15; 1Ti 3:3; Isa 28:7) Do not drink wine nor strong drink,

you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting,

lest you die. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations,

10 (Lev 11:47; Eze 22:26) so that you may differentiate between what is

holy and common and between what is unclean and clean.

11 (Dt 24:8; Mal 2:7 ) And so you may teach the children of Israel

all the statutes that the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

12 (Lev 21:22; Nu 18:9-10) Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar,

his sons who were left: Take the grain offering that remains of the food

offerings of the Lord made by fire

and eat it without leaven beside the altar. For it is most holy.

13 (Lev 2:3; 6:16) And you shall eat it in a holy place, because

it is your due and your sons' due from the food sacrifices of the Lord

made by fire. For so I have been commanded.

14 (Nu 18:11) The breast that is waved and the thigh that is contributed

you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters

with you, for they are your due and your sons' due which are given out

of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.

15 (Lev 7:34) The thigh that is contributed and the breast that

is waved they shall bring with the fat pieces of the food offerings

made by fire to wave them as a wave offering before the Lord,

and it shall be yours and your sons' with you as a perpetual statute,

as the Lord has commanded.

16 (Lev 9:3; 9:15) Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering

and saw it was burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar,

the sons of Aaron who were left alive, saying,

17 (Ex 28:38; Lev 22:16) "Why have you not eaten the sin offering

in the sacred area, knowing that it is most holy and God has given

it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation to make atonement

for them before the Lord?

18 (Lev 6:30; 6:26) Its blood was not brought into

the inner part of the sanctuary. Indeed you should have eaten

it in the sanctuary as I commanded."

19 (Lev 9:12; 9:8) Aaron said to Moses, "Today they have offered

their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord,

and such things have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today,

should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?"

20 And when Moses heard that, he approved.



Leviticus 10

[1] And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer,

and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire

before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

[2] And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died

before the LORD.

[3] Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I

will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I

will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

[4] And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of

Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the

sanctuary out of the camp.

[5] So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as

Moses had said.

[6] And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons,

Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest

wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of

Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.

[7] And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you.

And they did according to the word of Moses.

[8] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,

[9] Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when

ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a

statute for ever throughout your generations:

[10] And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between

unclean and clean;

[11] And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the

LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

[12] And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons

that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of

the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is

most holy:

[13] And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy

sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am

commanded.

[14] And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place;

thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and

thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of

the children of Israel.

[15] The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the

offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the

LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever;

as the LORD hath commanded.

[16] And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold,

it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron

which were left alive, saying,

[17] Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing

it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the

congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?

[18] Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye

should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

[19] And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin

offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have

befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been

accepted in the sight of the LORD?

[20] And when Moses heard that, he was content.

Humility's Perk



Proverbs 22:1-5



Laws of Justice and Mercy





1 (Ecc 7:1) A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,

and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

2 (Job 31:15; Pr 14:31) The rich and poor have this in common,

the Lord is the maker of them all.

3 (Pr 14:16; 27:12) A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself,

but the simple pass on and are punished.

4 (Pr 21:21) By humility and the fear of the Lord

are riches, and honor, and life.

5 (Pr 15:19; 1Jn 5:18) Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;

he who guards his soul will be far from them.



1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,

And loving favour rather than silver and gold.

2 The rich and poor meet together:

The LORD is the maker of them all.

3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself:

But the simple pass on, and are punished.

4 By humility and the fear of the LORD

Are riches, and honour, and life.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward:

He that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.



Like many teachers, Carrie devotes countless hours to her career, often

grading papers and communicating with students and parents late into the

evening. To sustain the effort, she relies on her community of colleagues

for camaraderie and practical help; her challenging job is made easier

through collaboration. A recent study of educators found that the benefit

of collaboration is magnified when those we work with demonstrate humility.

When colleagues are willing to admit their weaknesses, others feel safe to

share their knowledge with one another, effectively helping everyone

in the group.



The Bible teaches the importance of humility-for much more than enhanced

collaboration. "Fear[ing] the Lord"-having a right understanding of who

we are in comparison with the beauty, power, and majesty of God-results

in "riches, and honour, and life." (Proverbs 22:4). Humility leads us to

living in community in a way that's fruitful in God's economy, not just

the world's, because we seek to benefit our fellow image bearers.



We don’t fear God as a way to gain "riches and honor and life" for

ourselves-that wouldn't be true humility at all. Instead, we imitate

Jesus, who "made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant"

(Philippians 2:7) so we can become part of a body that humbly cooperates

together to do His work, give Him honor, and take a message of life

to the world around us.

What does humility mean to you?

How have you seen someone's humility benefit others?



Dear Jesus, I surrender my pride to You.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 5 When you pray



Mark 11:25



25 And when you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone,

so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your sins.



25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any:

that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.



"My prayer don't seem to be very effective," a man told his pastor." I try

to make contact with God, but my prayers seem to hit the ceiling and bounce

back."

The pastor thought for a moment, then gently suggested,

"Is there someone in your life you haven't forgiven?"

"What do you mean?" The man's face flushed; the pastor has obviuosly struck

a nerve. "Well, I guess I've had some struggles with my mother ... and then,

my wife, and I ... ." The hidden truth came to light: the man was bound in

unforgiving relationships with five of the closest people to him.

Forgiveness is an essential element in prayer. For a very good reason,

worship services in liturgical churches place the confession of sin and the

absolution near the beginning of the service, before the reading of God's

Word, prayer, and the sermon. Forgiveness - both the Lord's forgiveness

of us and our forgiveness of others - clears the way for unhindered

communication between God and his people.

When we carry anger and bitterness, or even deeply buried, well-subliminated

unforgiveness, into the presence of God, our prayers will be affected. We can,

however, free the Holy Spirit to work in our lives and the lives of others

through forgiveness. We can choose to forgive in light of God's forgiveness

of us. And when we do, the channels are re-established;

we can pray in power and open ourselves to an awareness of his activity

in our lives.



Application



a) Have my prayers ever been affected by unforgiveness in my life?



b) Is there someone in my life whom I need to forgive,

whether or not I can work toward?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:19



19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,

and the desires for other things entering in choke the word,

and it proves unfruitful.



19 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,

and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word,

and it becometh unfruitful.



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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



James 1:2 to 8



Faith and Wisdom



2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,

3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.

4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,

lacking nothing.

5 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.

6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers

is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.

7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.



2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect

and entire, wanting nothing.

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.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth

is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.



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 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 may have a total as high 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 largest 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 discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally 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.



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, ...) .

1) Leviticus 5-7



LEVITICUS 5



The Guilt Offering



1 (Lev 5:17; Pr 29:24; Lev 7:18 )When a person sins in hearing the spoken

oath, and he is a witness, whether he saw or knew about the incident,

if he does not report it, he bears guilt.

2 (Lev 5:17; Dt 14:8) Or when a person touches any ceremonially unclean

thing, whether it is a carcass of unclean wildlife, or a carcass of

an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean crawling thing,

and he did not realize it, then he has become unclean and guilty.

3 (Lev 12:1-8; 15:1-33) Or when he touches human uncleanness,

any uncleanness by which he may become ceremonially unclean,

and he did not realize it, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.

4 (Jdg 11:31; 1Sa 25:22) Or when a person swears by speaking rashly

with his lips to do evil or to do good, anything that a man may speak

rashly by oath, and he did not realize it, but when he realizes it,

then he has become guilty of any of these things.

5 (Nu 5:7; Lev 16:21; 26:40) When he becomes guilty of one of these things,

he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing.

6 (Lev 4:28; 4:32) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord

for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or goat,

for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement

for him concerning his sin.

7 (Lev 12:8; 14:21-22) If he cannot afford an animal, then he shall

bring for his guilt offering, on account of the sin that he committed,

two turtledoves or two pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering

and one for a burnt offering.

8 (Lev 1:15; 1:17) He shall bring them to the priest who shall offer

the one for the sin offering first. He will wring off its head at

its neck, but he shall not sever it.

9 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin

offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be

poured out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

10 (Lev 1:14-17; 4:26; 4:20) But the second he shall treat as a burnt

offering according to the regulation. The priest shall make atonement

for him for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.

11 (Nu 5:15; Lev 2:1-2) But if he cannot afford to bring two turtledoves

or two pigeons, he shall bring for his offering for the sin that

he committed one-tenth of an ephah

(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)

of wheat flour for a sin offering. He shall not place olive oil on it,

nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

12 (Lev 2:9; 2:2) Then he shall bring it to the priest,

and the priest shall scoop out a handful from it as a memorial portion

and burn it on the altar as a food offering to the Lord made by fire.

It is a sin offering.

13 (Lev 2:3; 4:26) The priest shall make atonement for him concerning

his sin that he committed from any of these offenses, and he shall be

forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.



[1] And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness,

whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall

bear his iniquity.

[2] Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an

unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean

creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and

guilty.

[3] Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that

a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of

it, then he shall be guilty.

[4] Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good,

whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from

him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

[5] And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he

shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:

[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which

he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a

sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his

sin.

[7] And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his

trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,

unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

[8] And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is

for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall

not divide it asunder:

[9] And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of

the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the

altar: it is a sin offering.

[10] And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the

manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he

hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

[11] But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,

then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah

of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall

he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.

[12] Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his

handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according

to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.

[13] And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that

he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the

remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.



Offerings With Restitution



14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

15 (Ex 30:13; Lev 4:2) When a person acts unfaithfully and sins

unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord,

then for his restitution offering to the Lord he shall bring a ram

without blemish from the flock - or its equivalent, in your estimation,

in silver shekels (using the sanctuary shekel

(About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.))

-for a guilt offering.

16 (Lev 22:14; Nu 5:7) And he shall repay the sin that he committed

with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give

it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram

of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.

17 (Lev 4:13; 4:27) If a person sins unintentionally

and does any one of the things that by commandments

of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty,

he shall bear his iniquity.

18 (Lev 5:15-16) He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish

from the flock - or its equivalent value

(This is a shorthand version of the full formula found in Lev 5:15.)

-for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning

his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.

19 It is a guilt offering: He has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.



[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[15] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy

things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram

without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver,

after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

[16] And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy

thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest:

and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass

offering, and it shall be forgiven him.

[17] And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden

to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he

guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

[18] And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy

estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall

make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist

it not, and it shall be forgiven him.

[19] It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the

LORD.



LEVITICUS 6



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 22:7 - 10; Lev 19:11) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against

the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage,

or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor,

3 (Ex 23:4; Lev 19:12) or by finding a lost item and lying about it,

and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man

may do to sin in these things,

4 when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole,

or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him,

or the lost item which he found,

5 (Lev 5:16; Nu 5:7-8) or about which he swore falsely, then he shall

repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to

whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty.

6 (Lev 5:15; 5:18) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord,

a ram without blemish from the flock -

(or its equivalent value (Shorthand version of the

full formula found in Lev 5:15.))

- for a guilt offering to the priest.

7 (Lev 4:26) And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and

he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.



[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his

neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a

thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

[3] Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth

falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

[4] Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall

restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath

deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost

thing which he found,

[5] Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it

in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it

unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without

blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto

the priest:

[7] And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it

shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing

therein.



The Law of the Burnt Offering



8 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

9 (Nu 28:3; Ex 29:38-42) Command Aaron and his sons, saying:

This is the law for the burnt offering.

The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night

until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.

10 (Ex 28:39-43; Lev 16:4) The priest shall put on his linen robe,

and his linen undergarments on his body.

Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire

of the burnt offering on the altar,

and he shall put them beside the altar.

11 (Lev 4:12; Eze 44:19) Then he shall take off his garments

and put on other garments, and he shall bring the ashes outside

the camp to a clean place.

12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out.

The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange

the burnt offering on it, and he shall burn the fat of

the peace offerings on it.

13 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar.

It shall never go out.



[8] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[9] Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt

offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar

all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in

it.

[10] And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches

shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath

consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside

the altar.

[11] And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry

forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.

[12] And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put

out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt

offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace

offerings.

[13] The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.



The Law of the Grain Offering



14 (Nu 15:4) This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron

shall offer it before the Lord on the altar.

15 (Lev 2:2; 2:9) He shall take from it a handful of the flour

of the grain offering, and of the oil and all the frankincense

which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar

for a pleasing aroma as a memorial to the Lord.

16 (Lev 2:3; Eze 44:29) Aaron and his sons shall eat the remainder of it;

it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place.

They shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.

17 (Lev 2:11; 6:25) It shall not be baked with leaven.

I have given it to them for their portion of My food offerings made by fire.

It is most holy, as is the sin offering and as is the guilt offering.

18 (Lev 6:29; Nu 18:10) All the males among the children of Aaron shall

eat of it. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations concerning

the food offerings of the Lord made by fire.

Everyone who touches them shall become holy.

19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

20 (Ex 16:36; 29:2) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which

they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed:

a tenth part of an ephah

(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)

of wheat flour for a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning

and half at night.

21 (Lev 2:5; 7:9) It shall be made on a griddle with olive oil.

When it is well mixed, you shall bring it; and the baked pieces

of the grain offering you shall offer as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

22 The priest from among the sons of Aaron who is anointed to succeed

him shall offer it. It is a perpetual statute to the Lord.

It shall be completely burned up.

23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be completely burned up.

It shall not be eaten.



[14] And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer

it before the LORD, before the altar.

[15] And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering,

and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat

offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the

memorial of it, unto the LORD.

[16] And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened

bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of

the congregation they shall eat it.

[17] It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their

portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin

offering, and as the trespass offering.

[18] All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be

a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD

made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.

[19] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[20] This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer

unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of

fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and

half thereof at night.

[21] In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt

bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for

a sweet savour unto the LORD.

[22] And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer

it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD, it shall be wholly burnt.

[23] For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall

not be eaten.



The Law of the Sin Offering



24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

25 (Lev 4:24; 1:11; 1:3) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying:

This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt

offering is killed shall the sin offering also be killed

before the Lord. It is most holy.

26 (Lev 10:17-18; Eze 44:28-29) The priest who offers it

for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten

in the court of the tent of meeting.

27 (Ex 29:37) Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy,

and when blood is sprinkled on any garment,

you shall wash it in a holy place.

28 (Lev 11:33; 15:12) And the clay vessel where it is boiled

shall be broken, and if it is boiled in a bronze pot,

it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water.

29 All the males among the priests shall eat from this offering.

It is most holy.

30 (Lev 4:3-21; 10:18) Any sin offering where blood is brought

into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place

shall not be eaten. It shall be burned up in the fire.



[24] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[25] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin

offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin

offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.

[26] The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place

shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[27] Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there

is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that

whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.

[28] But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it

be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.

[29] All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.

[30] And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the

tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall

be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.



LEVITICUS 7



The Law of the Guilt Offering



1 (Lev 5:1-6; 5:14-6:7) Likewise this is the law of the guilt offering.

It is most holy.

2 (Lev 1:5; 1:11) In the place where they kill the burnt offering

they shall kill the guilt offering, and its blood shall he sprinkle

on the sides of the altar.

3 (Ex 29:13; Lev 3:15-16) He shall offer all the fat.

The fatty tail and the fat that covers the entrails,

4 and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins,

and the appendage that is above the liver, along with the kidneys,

he shall take away.

5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar for a food offering made

by fire to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.

6 (Lev 6:29; 2:3) Every male among the priests shall eat from it.

It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

7 (Lev 6:25-26; 14:13) As the sin offering, so is the guilt offering;

there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement shall have it.

8 The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering shall have for himself

the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered.

9 (Lev 2:10; Nu 18:9) Every grain offering that is baked in the oven

and all that is prepared in a pan or griddle shall be for the priest

who offers it.

10 And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry,

shall be equally shared among all the sons of Aaron.



[1] Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.

[2] In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the

trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon

the altar.

[3] And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that

covereth the inwards,

[4] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the

flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he

take away:

[5] And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by

fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.

[6] Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the

holy place: it is most holy.

[7] As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law

for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.

[8] And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest

shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

[9] And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is

dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that

offereth it.

[10] And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons

of Aaron have, one as much as another.



The Law of Peace Offerings



11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings

that a person shall offer to the Lord.

12 (Lev 2:4; Nu 6:15) If he gives it as a thanksgiving offering,

then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened cakes

mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil,

and cakes of wheat flour mixed with olive oil.

13 (Am 4:5; Lev 23:17) Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering

leavened bread with the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings.

14 (Nu 18:19; Ex 29:27-28) From this he shall offer one loaf

from each offering, as a gift to the Lord. It shall be

for the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings

for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;

he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

16 (Lev 19:5-8; Dt 12:6) But if the sacrifice of his offering

is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day

that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day

also the remainder of it can be eaten.

17 (Ex 12:10) But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice

on the third day shall be burned up with fire.

18 (Lev 19:7-8; 11:41) If any of the flesh of the sacrifice

of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day,

the one eating shall not be accepted,

nor shall it be imputed to him who offers it.

It shall be contaminated,

and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

19 The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten.

It shall be burned up with fire. And as for the other flesh,

all who are ritually clean can eat of it.

20 But the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings

that belong to the Lord, and who has any uncleanness on him,

that individual shall be cut off from his people.

21 (Lev 5:2-3; 11:10-13) Moreover the person who shall touch any unclean

thing, whether the uncleanness of man or any unclean beast or any

detestable unclean creature, and then eats of the flesh

of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord,

that individual shall be cut off from his people.



[11] And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall

offer unto the LORD.

[12] If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the

sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened

wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.

[13] Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with

the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

[14] And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave

offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the

blood of the peace offerings.

[15] And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving

shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it

until the morning.

[16] But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering,

it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the

morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:

[17] But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall

be burnt with fire.

[18] And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be

eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be

imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul

that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

[19] And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it

shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat

thereof.

[20] But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace

offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even

that soul shall be cut off from his people.

[21] Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the

uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing,

and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto

the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.



Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden



22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23 (Lev 3:16-17) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:

You shall not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

24 (Ex 22:31; Lev 17:15) The fat of an animal that dies

of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts

may be used in any other way, but you shall certainly not eat of it.

25 For whoever eats the fat of an animal that is a food offering made

by fire to the Lord, that individual shall be cut off from his people.

26 (Ge 9:4; Lev 3:17) Moreover you shall not eat any manner of blood,

whether from a fowl or animal, in any of your dwellings.

27 Whoever eats any manner of blood, that individual

shall be cut off from his people.



[22] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[23] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of

fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

[24] And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that

which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no

wise eat of it.

[25] For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an

offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be

cut off from his people.

[26] Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of

beast, in any of your dwellings.

[27] Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul

shall be cut off from his people.



The Priests' Share



28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He who offers the sacrifice

of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his sacrifice to the Lord

from his peace offerings.

30 (Nu 6:20; Lev 3:3-4) His own hands shall bring the food offerings

of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast that the breast

may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

31 (Lev 3:5; 3:11) The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,

but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

32 (Lev 7:34; 9:21) The right thigh you shall give to the priest

for a contribution offering for the sacrifice of your peace offerings.

33 The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood

of the peace offerings and the fat shall have

the right thigh for his portion.

34 (Nu 18:18-19; Lev 10:14-15) For the breast that is waved

and the thigh that is contributed I have taken from the children of Israel,

from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to

Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual portion

from the children of Israel.

35 This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons,

from the food offerings of the Lord made by fire,

in the day when Moses presented them to minister as priests before the Lord,

36 (Lev 8:12; 8:30) which the Lord commanded that they be given this,

in the day that he anointed them, from the children of Israel

as a perpetual portion throughout their generations.

37 (Ex 29:1) This is the law of the burnt offering,

of the grain offering, and of the sin offering,

and of the guilt offering,

and of the ordinations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings,

38 (Lev 1:1-2) which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai,

in the day that He commanded the children of Israel to offer

their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.



[28] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[29] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the

sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto

the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

[30] His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the

fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a

wave offering before the LORD.

[31] And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall

be Aaron's and his sons'.

[32] And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave

offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

[33] He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace

offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

[34] For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children

of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given

them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from

among the children of Israel.

[35] This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of

his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he

presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;

[36] Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in

the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their

generations.

[37] This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the

sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of

the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

[38] Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he

commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in

the wilderness of Sinai.



2) Our Daily Bread for 14 February 2024 titled

Motivated by Love



1 Corinthians 13



1 (2Co 12:4) If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,

and have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

2 (Mt 17:20; 21:21) If I have the gift of prophecy, and understand

all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith,

so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

3 If I give all my goods to feed the poor,

and if I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profits me nothing.

4 (Col 3:12; Pr 10:12) Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not;

love flaunts not itself and is not puffed up,

5 (1Co 10:24; Php 2:21) does not behave itself improperly, seeks not its own,

is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;

6 (2Jn 1:4; Ro 1:32) rejoices not in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

7 (1Co 13:4) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,

and endures all things.

8 Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they shall fail;

if there are tongues, they shall cease; and if there is knowledge,

it shall vanish.

9 (1Co 8:2; 13:12) For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect comes, then that which is imperfect

shall pass away.

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,

and I thought as a child. But when I became a man,

I put away childish things.

12 (2Co 5:7; 1Jn 3:2) For now we see as through a glass, dimly, but then,

face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know,

even as I also am known.

13 (Gal 5:6; 1Co 16:14; 1Pe 1:21) So now abide faith, hope, and love,

these three. But the greatest of these is love.



[1] Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not

charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

[2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries,

and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove

mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

[3] And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my

body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

[4] Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity

vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily

provoked, thinketh no evil;

[6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

[7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth

all things.

[8] Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;

whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it

shall vanish away.

[9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

[10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part

shall be done away.

[11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I

thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

[12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I

know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of

these is charity.



Jim and Laneeda were college sweethearts. They got married and life was happy

for many years. Then Laneeda began to act strangely, getting lost

and forgetting appointments. She was diagnosed with early-onset

Alzheimer's at 47. After a decade of serving as her primary caregiver,

Jim was able to say, "Alzheimer's has given me the opportunity to love

and serve my wife in ways that were unimaginable when I said, 'I do.'"



While explaining the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the apostle Paul wrote

extensively on the virtue of love (1 Corinthians 13). He contrasted rote acts

of service with those overflowing from a loving heart. Powerful speaking is

good, Paul wrote, but without love it's like meaningless noise (v. 1).

"If I . . . give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have

love, I gain nothing" (v. 3). Paul ultimately said,

"the greatest [gift] is love" (v. 13).



Jim's understanding of love and service deepened as he cared for his wife.

Only a deep and abiding love could give him the strength to support her every

day. Ultimately, the only place we see this sacrificial love modeled perfectly

is in God's love for us, which caused Him to send Jesus to die for

our sins (John 3:16). That act of sacrifice, motivated by love,

has changed our world forever.

Reflect & Pray



How have you tried to serve others without love?

How can a love for God and others inspire your actions today?



Loving God, thank You for loving me.

May my actions flow out of a loving heart today.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 4 "Formula" for Forgiveness



Luke 17:3 - 4



3 (Lev 19:17; Mt 18:21)"Take heed to yourselves."

"If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. And if he repents,

forgive him.

4 (Mt 18:21-22) If he sins against you seven times in a day,

and seven times in a day turns to you, saying,

'I repent,' you must forgive him."



3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;

and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,

and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;

thou shalt forgive him.



The context of these verses give us an interesting perspective of Jesus'

disciples. In a corollary passage in Matthew 18, the disciples (through

Peter, the designated mouthpiece) ask Jesus,

21 (Mt 18:15; Lk 17:3-4) Then Peter came to Him and said,

"Lord, how often shall I forgive my brother who sins against me?

Up to seven times?" (Matthew 18:21)

The disciples wanted a "formula" for forgiveness: they wanted to be able to

develop a checklist. Once, twice, maybe three times a brother could be

forgiven, but after that, you could write him off. After all, if

he keeps on offending over and over again, he doesn't deserve to be forgiven!

But Jesus says, " Rebuke him - let him know his fault; if he repents,

forgive him - even seven times in the same day!"

And the disciplines' response is predictable: "Lord, increase our faith!" They

were more comfortable with their own formula for forgiveness than with the

outrageous demands of the love that Christ imposed upon them.

We are so like the disciples. We want to draw a line and say. "This far

- no more. I'll forgive you once, but don't do it again. Now that you're

forgiven, you'd better shape up!". Yet God's love doesn't recognise "again".

He forgives, and no matter how often we come to him in repentance

for repeated offenses, his arms of forgiveness are open to us.

That is the way God wants us to forgive. He wants us to lay aside our

checklists, put away our suspicions, abandon our scoreboards, and forgive.

Seven times, or seventy times seven, as often as we have sinned against God

and been forgiven, we are to forgive.



Application



a) Have I ever kept a "scorecard" of performance on someone I

have forgiven ? Why?



b) Why do I need "increased faith" to be able to forgive as

Jesus calls me to?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Hebr 11:6



6 (1Ch 28:9; Jer 29:13-14) And without faith it is impossible to please God,

for he who comes to God must believe that He exists

and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.



6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh

to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them

that diligently seek him.



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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Matt 7:7-11



Ask, Seek, Knock



Lk 11:9-13



7(Mt 21:22; Mk 11:24) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;

knock and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,

and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

9 "What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread,

will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?

11 (Ge 6:5; 8:21) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts

to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give

good things to those who ask Him!



7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,

and it shall be opened unto you:

8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;

and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,

will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,

how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things

to them that ask 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?)



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 may have a total as high 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 largest 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 discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally 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, ...) .

When a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments

of the Lord that should not be done, and he violates one of them,

3 (Lev 4:14; 9:2) if the anointed priest sins, so as to bring guilt

on the people, he shall bring for his sin that he has committed

a bull without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.

4 (Lev 1:3-4) He shall bring the bull to the opening of the tent

of meeting before the Lord, and he shall lay his hand on the bull's head

and slaughter the bull before the Lord.

5 (Lev 16:14; 4:16-17) The anointed priest shall take some

of the bull's blood and bring it into the tent of meeting.

6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle

some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil

of the sanctuary.

7 (Lev 8:15; 9:9; 16:18) Then the priest shall put some of the blood

on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord

which is in the tent of meeting, and shall pour the rest of the blood

of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering which is

at the door of the tent of meeting.

8 (Lev 3:3-5) Then he shall remove all the fat of the bull that is

for the sin offering - the fat that covers the entrails - and all the fat

that is on the entrails,

9 (Lev 3:4) and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them,

which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver

which he shall remove with the kidneys,

10 just as these are removed from the bull of the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.

11 (Nu 19:5; Ex 29:14) The skin of the bull, and all its flesh,

with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung,

he shall bring outside the camp to a ritually clean

("Clean: and "unclean" refer to ceremonial aspects of places,

objects, or people.) place at the ash pile and burn it on wood

with fire. It shall be burned on the ash heap.

13 (Lev 5:17; 5:2-5) If the whole congregation of Israel

commits an unintentional sin, and the matter is hidden

from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things

that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,

and they are found guilty,

14 (Lev 4:3; 4:23) and the sin that they committed

20 (Nu 15:25; Heb 10:10-12) He shall do to this bull just

as he did to the bull of the sin offering;

this is what he will do to it.

And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21 (Lev 16:15) He shall bring the bull outside the camp,

and he shall burn it just as he burned the first bull.

It is the sin offering of the congregation.

22 (Lev 4:2; 4:13) Whenever a leader sins,

and he does unintentionally any one of the things that

by the commandments of the Lord his God should not be done

and is found guilty,

23 (Lev 4:14) or his sin that he committed was made known to him,

he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish,

24 and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat,

and he shall slaughter it in the place where they slaughter

the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.

25 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) The priest shall take some of the blood

of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns

of the altar of the burnt offering, and he shall pour out its blood

at the base of the altar of the burnt offering.

26 (Lev 4:20; 3:5) And he shall burn all its fat on the altar,

like the fat of the peace sacrifice, and the priest shall make

atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27 (Lev 4:2; Nu 15:27; Lev 4:13) If any one of the common people

should sin unintentionally by doing one of the things

that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,

and is found guilty,

28 (Lev 4:23; 4:3; 4:32) or his sin that he committed

was made known to him, he shall bring as his offering

a female goat without blemish, for his sin that he committed.

29 (Lev 4:4; 4:24) He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering,

and he shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

30 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of its blood on his finger

and put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering,

and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

31 (Lev 4:26; 4:35; 1:9) And he shall remove all its fat,

just as the fat is removed from the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the Lord,

and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32 (Lev 4:28; 1Pe 2:22; 3:18) And if he brings a sheep for a sin offering,

he shall bring a female without blemish,

33 and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and he shall

slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where they slaughter

the burnt offering.

34 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of the blood

of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns

of the altar of the burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood

he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a food offering

to the Lord made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement

for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.



Leviticus 4

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through

ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things

which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

[3] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the

people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young

bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.

[4] And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's

head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.

[5] And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and

bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

[6] And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the

blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.

[7] And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar

of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the

congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of

the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of

the congregation.

[8] And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin

offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon

the inwards,

[9] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the

flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take

away,

[10] As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace

offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt

offering.

[11] And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with

his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

[12] Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a

clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with

fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the

thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat

against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should

not be done, and are guilty;

[14] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the

congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before

the tabernacle of the congregation.

[15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head

of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the

LORD.

[16] And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to

the tabernacle of the congregation:

[17] And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle

it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.

[18] And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is

before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall

pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,

which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[19] And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.

[20] And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin

offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement

for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

[21] And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as

he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.

[22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against

any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should

not be done, and is guilty;

[23] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall

bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

[24] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the

place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin

offering.

[25] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his

finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall

pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

[26] And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the

sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him

as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

[27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he

doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things

which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

[28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he

shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for

his sin which he hath sinned.

[29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay

the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

[30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put

it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the

blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

[31] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away

from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon

the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an

atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

[32] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female

without blemish.

[33] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay

it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering

[34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his

finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall

pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

[35] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is

taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall

burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the

LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath

committed, and it shall be forgiven him.

Jesus'’' Blood



Isaiah 1:15-20



15 (Isa 59:2-3; Mic 3:4) When you reach out your hands,

I will hide My eyes from you;

even when you make many prayers,

I will not hear.

Your hands are full of blood.

16 (Ps 26:6; 1Pe 3:11) Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;

put away the evil from your deeds, from before My eyes.

Cease to do evil,

17 (Jer 22:3; Zep 2:3) learn to do good; seek justice,

relieve the oppressed;

judge the fatherless,

plead for the widow.

18 (Ps 51:7; Rev 7:14) Come now, and let us reason together,

says the Lord.

Though your sins be as scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;

though they be red like crimson,

they shall be as wool.

19 (Dt 30:15-16) If you are willing and obedient,

you shall eat the good of the land;

20 (Isa 40:5; 58:14) but if you refuse and rebel,

you shall be devoured with the sword;

for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.



[15] And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you:

yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

[16] Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before

mine eyes; cease to do evil;

[17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the

fatherless, plead for the widow.

[18] Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins

be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like

crimson, they shall be as wool.

[19] If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

[20] But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for

the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.



The colour red doesn't always naturally occur in the things we make.

How do you put the vibrant color of an apple into a T-shirt or lipstick?

In early times, the red pigment was made from clay or red rocks. In the 1400s,

the Aztecs invented a way of using cochineal insects to make red dye.

Today, those same tiny insects supply the world with red.



In the Bible, red denotes royalty, and it also signifies sin and shame.

Further, it's the colour of blood. When soldiers "stripped [Jesus] and

put a scarlet robe on him" (Matthew 27:28), these three symbolisms merged

into one heartbreaking image of red: Jesus was ridiculed as would-be royalty,

He was cloaked in shame, and He was robed in the colour of the blood He would

soon shed. But Isaiah's words foretell the promise of this crimsoned Jesus to

deliver us from the red that stains us:

“though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;” (1:18).



One other thing about those cochineal insects used for red dye-they are actually

milky white on the outside. Only when they are crushed do they release their red

blood. That little fact echoes for us other words from Isaiah:

"[Jesus] was crushed for our iniquities" (Isaiah 53:5).



Jesus, who knew no sin, is here to save us who are red with sin.

You see, in His crushing death, Jesus endured a whole lot of red

so you could be white as snow.



By: Kenneth Petersen



Reflect & Pray



How do "sins . . . like scarlet" stain your life?

How might Jesus restore you and make you clean again?



Dear God, thank You for Your Son,

Jesus, and the saving grace of His shed blood.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 3 The Kind Heart of Forgiveness



Ephesians 4:32



32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12-13; Mt 6:12) And be kind one to another,

tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.



32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.



Don had lost his job because he stood against his boss and refused to

compromise his Christian principles. Certain friends in the company had

turned against him, choosing to save their own jobs at any cost,

and he felt very alone, abandoned when he most needed the support

of those who cared.

But Don showed no signs of bitterness or unforgiveness. He refused to

recite the details of his firing to those around him, saying simply and

honestly, " I believe my boss was wrong in what he did. But God can show

him." The kindness of Don's heart, and the tenderness with which he

extended forgiveness, became a testimony to all who knew him. Don's

boss never "saw the light", never repented, but Don lived in the freedom of

forgiving.

Comparison is a rare commodity among Christains today. We seem to be

overstocked with judgment and crammed full of condemnation, but we have

little space in the corners of our lives for tenderheartedness. We are quick

to assume that we know another person's heart and have the remedy for

the problem, rather then giving that person the benefit of the doubt,

the room to grow, the freedom to make a mistake and seek forgiveness.

Jesus demonstrated the king compassion necessary in forgiveness when he

looked down at the soldiers who has crucified him, gambling at his feet

for his cloak, and said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what

are doing."

When others hurt and betray us, they often "do not know what they are

doing." we can, in Christ, offer compassionate forgiveness to them -

not condoning their actions or excusing their wrong, but forgiving ,

in the simplicity and purity of God's love.



Application



a) What is the difference between excusing a wrong and forgiving?



b) How has God forgiven me for Christ's sake?



c) What does today's verse tell me about my attitude in forgiveness?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 1:3



He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

that brings forth its fruit in its season;

its leaf will not wither,

and whatever he does will prosper.



3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

His leaf also shall not wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.



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



When you are Angry of Vengeful



James 1:19-25



Hearing and Doing the Word



19 Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear,

slow to speak, and slow to anger,

20 for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.

21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and remaining

wickedness and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able

to save your souls.

22 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man

viewing his natural face in a mirror.

24 He views himself, and goes his way,

and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

25 But whoever looks into

the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it,

and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,

this man will be blessed in his deeds.



19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,

slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,

and receive with meekness the engrafted word,

which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,

deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,

he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway

forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,

and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer,

but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.



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 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 may have a total as high 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 largest 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 discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally 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.



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, ...) .

EXODUS 39



Making the Priestly Garments



1 (Ex 31:10; 35:19; 35:23) Now from the blue, purple, and scarlet

they made woven garments for serving in the holy place and made

the holy garments for Aaron, just as the Lord commanded Moses.





[1] And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service,

to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as

the LORD commanded Moses.



Making the Ephod

Ex 28:6-14



2 (Ex 28:6-12 ) He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen.

3 Then they hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads

to work them into the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen,

with skillful work.

4 They made shoulder pieces for it, in order to attach it together.

It was joined by the two edges together.

5 The skillfully woven waistband of his ephod that was on it was like it,

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

and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

6 (Ex 28:9) They set the onyx stones enclosed in gold filigree settings;

they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names

of the children of Israel.

7 (Ex 28:12; Jos 4:7) And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod,

to be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[2] And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine

twined linen.

[3] And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to

work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine

linen, with cunning work.

[4] They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges

was it coupled together.

[5] And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same,

according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and

fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[6] And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as

signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

[7] And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be

stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded

Moses.



Making the Breastplate

Ex 28:15-28



8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman,

like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen.

9 It was square. They made the breastplate folded double, a span

(About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.)

long and a span wide when doubled.

10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz,

and carbuncle was the first row;

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

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

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

They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.

14 (Rev 21:12) The stones were corresponding to

the names of the children of Israel, twelve,

corresponding to their names,

like the engravings of a signet,

each with its name,

corresponding to the twelve tribes.

(Reminders and Memorials)

15 They made on the breastplate braided chains like cords of pure gold.

16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings

and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

17 They put the two braided chains of gold in

the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they fastened

in the two filigree settings and put them on the shoulder pieces

of the ephod at the front of it.

19 They made two rings of gold and put them on

the two ends of the breastplate,

on the edge of it which was on the inner side of the ephod.

20 They made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides

of the ephod underneath, toward the front of it,

over against where it joined,

above the waistband of the ephod.

21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod

with a blue cord, so that it might be above the waistband of the ephod,

and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[8] And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod;

of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

[9] It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the

length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

[10] And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a

topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

[11] And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

[12] And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

[13] And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed

in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

[14] And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel,

twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one

with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

[15] And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work

of pure gold.

[16] And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two

rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

[17] And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the

ends of the breastplate.

[18] And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two

ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

[19] And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the

breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod

inward.

[20] And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of

the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other

coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

[21] And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the

ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the

ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the

LORD commanded Moses.



Making Other Priestly Garments

Ex 28:31 - 43



22 Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

23 There was an opening in the middle of the robe,

like the opening of a coat of mail,

with a band all around the opening so that it should not be torn.

24 They made on the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple,

and scarlet, and twisted linen.

25 They made bells of pure gold and put the bells between

the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe.

26 There was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate,

all around about the hem of the robe to be used in service,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

27 (Eze 44:18) They made tunics of finely woven linen

for Aaron and his sons,

28 (Ex 28:4) and the turban of fine linen,

and the decorated caps of fine linen,

and linen breeches of fine twisted linen.

29 The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet,

the work of an embroiderer, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold

and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet:

HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

31 They attached to it a blue cord, to fasten it to the turban above,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[22] And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

[23] And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an

habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

[24] And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and

purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

[25] And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the

pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

[26] A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem

of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[27] And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his

sons,

[28] And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen

breeches of fine twined linen,

[29] And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet,

of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[30] And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon

it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

[31] And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the

mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.



The Work Completed

Ex 35:10-19



32 (Ex 39:42-43; 25:40) Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent

of meeting was finished, and the children of Israel did according to all

that the Lord commanded Moses - so they did.

33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings:

its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;

34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red,

and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil;

to all that the Lord commanded Moses.

43 (Lev 9:22 - 23; Nu 6:23 - 27) Moses looked over all the work,

and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded,

so they had done. Then Moses blessed them.



[32] Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation

finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD

commanded Moses, so did they.

[33] And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his

furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his

sockets,

[34] And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers'

skins, and the vail of the covering,

[35] The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

[36] The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

[37] The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be

set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

[38] And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and

the hanging for the tabernacle door,

[39] The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his

vessels, the laver and his foot,

[40] The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the

hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of

the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

[41] The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy

garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the

priest's office.

[42] According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of

Israel made all the work.

[43] And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as

the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.



EXODUS 40



The Tabernacle Erected



1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 13:4; 26:30) On the first day of the first month you shall set up

the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3 (Nu 4:5; Ex 35:12) You shall put the ark of the testimony in it

and screen the ark with the veil.

4 You shall bring in the table

and arrange the things that are to be arranged on it,

and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5 You shall set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony

and put the curtain for the entrance to the tabernacle.

6 (Ex 40:29) You shall set the altar of the burnt offering in front

of the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7 You shall set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar

and put water in it.

8 You shall set up the courtyard around it and hang up the curtain

at the courtyard gate.

9 (Lev 8:10) You shall take the anointing oil

and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and shall consecrate

it and all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

10 (Ex 29:36 - 37) Then you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering

and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be

most holy.

11 You shall anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.

12 (Lev 8:1 - 13) Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance

of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

13 (Ex 28:41) You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him

and consecrate him, so that he may minister to Me as a priest.

14 You shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

15 (Nu 25:13) Then you shall anoint them just as you anointed their father,

so that they may minister to Me as priests, for their anointing will

surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

16 Thus Moses did. According to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.

17 (Nu 7:1) In the first month of the second year,

on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

18 Moses erected the tabernacle and fastened its sockets,

and set up its boards, and inserted its bars, and erected its pillars.

19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering

of the tent on top of it, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

20 (Ex 16:34) He took the testimony and put it into the ark,

attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.

21 (Ex 26:33; 40:3) And he brought the ark into the tabernacle,

and set up the veil of the screening, and screened the ark of the testimony,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

22 (Ex 26:35) Then he put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side

of the tabernacle outside the veil.

23 (Ex 25:30; 40:4) He set the bread in order on it before the Lord,

just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

24 And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table,

on the south side of the tabernacle.

25 (Ex 25:37; 40:4 ) He lighted the lamps before the Lord,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

26 (Ex 40:5) Then he put the gold altar in the tent

of meeting before the veil.

27 (Ex 30:7) And he burned fragrant incense on it,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

28 (Ex 40:5) Then he set up the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle.

29 (Ex 40:6) He put the altar of burnt offering by the entrance

of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting and offered

on it the burnt offering and the grain offering,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 (Ex 40:7) Then he set the basin between the tent of meeting

and the altar and put water in it for washing.

31 It was there Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands

and their feet.

32 Whenever they went into the tent of meeting,

and whenever they came near the altar, they washed,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

33 (Ex 40:8; 27:9 - 16) He erected the courtyard

all around the tabernacle and the altar,

and set up the curtain of the courtyard gate.

So Moses finished the work.



Exodus 40

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of

the tent of the congregation.

[3] And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark

with the vail.

[4] And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are

to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and

light the lamps thereof.

[5] And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of

the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

[6] And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of

the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

[7] And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and

the altar, and shalt put water therein.

[8] And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at

the court gate.

[9] And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and

all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and

it shall be holy.

[10] And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his

vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

[11] And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

[12] And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation, and wash them with water.

[13] And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and

sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

[14] And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

[15] And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that

they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall

surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

[16] Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did

he.

[17] And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first

day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

[18] And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set

up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his

pillars.

[19] And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering

of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[20] And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on

the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

[21] And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the

covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[22] And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of

the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

[23] And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had

commanded Moses.

[24] And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over

against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

[25] And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[26] And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the

vail:

[27] And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[28] And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

[29] And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of

the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the

meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[30] And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the

altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

[31] And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet

thereat:

[32] When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came

near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[33] And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar,

and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.



The Glory of the Lord



34 (Nu 9:15 - 23; Rev 15:8) Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting,

and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35 (1Ki 8:11) Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting

because the cloud settled on it,

and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36 (Ne 9:19; Nu 9:17) When the cloud was lifted up from over the tabernacle,

the children of Israel would set out in all their journeys.

37 (Nu 9:19 - 22) But if the cloud was not lifted up,

then they did not set out until the day that it was lifted.

38 (Ex 13:21; Nu 9:15) For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day,

and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,

throughout all their journeys.



[34] Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the

LORD filled the tabernacle.

[35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation,

because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the

tabernacle.

[36] And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children

of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

[37] But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the

day that it was taken up.

[38] For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was

on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all

their journeys.

Loving Our Enemies



Matthew 5:43-48



Love for Enemies

Lk 6:27-28, 32-36



43 (Lev 19:18; Dt 23:6) "You have heard that it was said,

'You shall love your neighbor [Lev 19:18.] and hate your enemy.'

44 (Lk 23:34; Ac 7:60) But I say to you, love your enemies,

bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,

and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

45 (Mt 5:9; Lk 6:35) that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.

For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good

and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?

Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

47 (Mt 5:20) And if you greet your brothers only, what are you doing

more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?

48 (Lev 19:2; Col 1:28) Therefore be perfect, even as your Father

who is in heaven is perfect.



[43] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour,

and hate thine enemy.

[44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do

good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you,

and persecute you;

[45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he

maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the

just and on the unjust.

[46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even

the publicans the same?

[47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do

not even the publicans so?

[48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is

perfect.



With the American Civil War spawning many bitter feelings, Abraham Lincoln

saw fit to speak a kind word about the South. A shocked bystander asked how

he could do so. He replied, "Madam, do I not destroy my enemies when I make

them my friends?" Reflecting on those words a century later, Martin Luther

King Jr. commented, "This is the power of redemptive love."



In calling disciples of Christ to love their enemies, King looked to the

teachings of Jesus. He noted that although believers might struggle to love

those who persecute them, this love grows out of "a consistent and total

surrender to God." "When we love in this way," King continued,

"we'll know God and experience the beauty of His holiness."



King referenced Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in which He said, "Love your

enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children

of your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:44–45). Jesus counseled against

the conventional wisdom of the day of loving only one's neighbours

and hating one's enemies. Instead, God the Father gives His children

the strength to love those who oppose them.



It may feel impossible to love our enemies, but as we look to God for

help, He'll answer our prayers. He gives the courage to embrace this

radical practice, for as Jesus said,

"with God all things are possible" (19:26).



By: Amy Boucher Pye



Reflect & Pray



Who is your enemy? If you feel conflicted about loving those who oppose you,

how could you submit those feelings to God?



Loving God, You've made me-as well as those who hurt me-in Your image.

Help me to see them as You do.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 2 - The key to the Prison Cell



Matt 6:14-15



14 For if you forgive men for their sins, your heavenly Father will

also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men for their sins,

neither will your Father forgive your sins.



14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will

also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses,

neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.



Ann had been badly wounded in a relationship that had ended in anger

and accusation. For more than a year, Ann nursed her bitterness, rallying

support for her attitudes from friends and colleagues. Any time she saw

her former friend, Ann put up an icy wall of hostility. She thought she was

"getting over" the hurt, but the very mention of her friend's name brought

back a flood of negative feelings. Ann was trapped, locked in a prison of

unforgiveness , a jail built block by block by her own unwillingness to

forgive. Ann didn't "get over it"; instead, her wounds festered

and her bitterness grew worse.

Then one day - she never knew how - Ann let go of her bitterness. The barriers

of hostility and anger melted away, and when she saw her friend again, she was

able to forgive. And Ann was finally able to turn to the Lord for her own

healing and forgiveness.

"If you do not forgive," Jesus says - and the statement falls hard on

unforgiving hearts, "Neither will you be forgiven." In one sense, God's

forgiveness is unconditional - we do not have to earn or deserve it, and it is

always available to us. But we cannot experience the forgiveness God has

extended to us when we harbour unforgiveness towards others and build walls

of bitterness in our hearts.

When we refuse forgiveness toward those who have hurt or betrayed us, we do

not keep them in bondage, but ourselves. We lock ourselves away for an

awareness of God's loving presence; we imprison ourselves in a cell of

revenge. But when we reach out to forgive, we turn in the lock;

the door is open for our own sins to be forgiven and our own hearts

cleansed and purified.



Application



a) Why is forgiving others a condition for experiencing forgiveness

in my own life?



b) How can these verses have a practical effect upon my willingness

to forgive others?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 8:18



18 But you must remember the Lord your God,

for it is He who gives you the ability to get wealth,

so that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers,

as it is today.



18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth

thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant

which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.



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



When you are lonely



PSALMS 25:15-21



15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for He will lead my feet from the net.

16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,

for I am isolated and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

18 Look on my pain and misery,

and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,

and they hate me with violent hatred.

20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!

Let me not suffer shame,

for I seek refuge in You.

21 Truth and integrity will preserve me

while I wait for You.



Ain

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;

For he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Pe

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;

For I am desolate and afflicted.

Zade

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:

O bring thou me out of my distresses.

(Qoph)

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain;

And forgive all my sins.

Resh

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many;

And they hate me with cruel hatred.

Shin

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:

Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;

For I wait on thee.

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 may have a total as high 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 largest 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 discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally 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.



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, ...) .

and on all those who heard these things.



[11] And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard

these things.



Signs and Wonders



12 (Ac 3:11; Jn 10:23) Many signs and wonders were performed

among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were

all together in Solomon's Porch.

13 (Ac 2:47; 4:21) No one else dared join them, but the people respected them.

14 (Ac 2:47) Believers were increasingly added to the Lord,

crowds of both men and women,

15 (Mt 14:36) so that they even brought the sick out into the streets

and placed them on beds and mats, that at least the shadow

of Peter passing by might touch some of them.

16 (Mk 16:17-18) Crowds also came out of the cities surrounding Jerusalem,

bringing the sick and those who were afflicted by evil spirits,

and they were all healed.



[12] And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought

among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

[13] And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people

magnified them.

[14] And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men

and women.)

[15] Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid

them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by

might overshadow some of them.

[16] There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto

Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean

spirits: and they were healed every one.



Acts 5:12



12 (Ac 3:11; Jn 10:23) Many signs and wonders were performed

among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were

all together in Solomon's Porch.



[12] And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought

among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.

among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.



B) Increased Commitment and GRowth



Acts 5:13-14



13 (Ac 2:47; 4:21) No one else dared join them, but the people respected them.

14 (Ac 2:47) Believers were increasingly added to the Lord,

crowds of both men and women,



[13] And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people

magnified them.

[14] And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men

and women.)



C) Greater Faith and Expectation



15 (Mt 14:36) so that they even brought the sick out into the streets

and placed them on beds and mats, that at least the shadow

of Peter passing by might touch some of them.



[15] Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid

them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by

might overshadow some of them.



D) Healing and Deliverance

Acts 5:

16 (Mk 16:17-18) Crowds also came out of the cities surrounding Jerusalem,

bringing the sick and those who were afflicted by evil spirits,

and they were all healed.



[16] There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto

Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean

spirits: and they were healed every one.



E) Spread of the Gospel



Acts 5



16 (Mk 16:17-18) Crowds also came out of the cities surrounding Jerusalem,



[16] There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto

Jerusalem,

and wonders may be performed in the name of Your holy Son Jesus."



[30] By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may

be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.



a) Expand our definition of a miracle



b) Realise God is looking for messengers

will go for us?



c) Ask God to use us and be available

1) Exodus 36, Exodus 37, Exodus 38



EXODUS 36



1 (Ex 28:3; 25:8) So Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skilled person,

in whom the Lord has put skill and understanding to know how to do

all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, are to do the work

according to all that the Lord has commanded.

2 (Ex 31:6; 1Ch 29:5 ) Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled

person in whom the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him

to come to the work to do it.

3 (Ex 35:29) They received from Moses all the offerings which the children

of Israel had brought to do the work of the service of the sanctuary,

and they continued to bring to him freewill offerings every morning.

4 And all the skilled men who were doing all the work of the sanctuary

came from the work they were doing,

5 (2Ch 24:14; 2Co 8:2-3) and they said to Moses,

"The people are bringing much more than is needed

for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do."

6 So Moses issued a command, and they circulated a proclamation

throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman do any more work

for the offering of the sanctuary.- So the people were restrained

from bringing any more.

7 For the material they had was sufficient for all the work

and more than enough to do it.



[1] Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom

the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work

for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had

commanded.

[2] And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in

whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him

up to come unto the work to do it:

[3] And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of

Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it

withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

[4] And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came

every man from his work which they made;

[5] And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than

enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

[6] And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed

throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work

for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from

bringing.

[7] For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and

too much.



Construction of the Tabernacle



Ex 26:1-37



8 Every skilled man among those who were doing the work made

the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen,

and blue, and purple, and scarlet,

with cherubim that were the work of skillful workmen.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,

and the width of each curtain four cubits.

(About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.)

All of the curtains were the same size.

10 He joined the five curtains to one another,

and the other five curtains he joined to one to another.

11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost

curtain in the first set. He did likewise along the edge

of the outermost curtain in the second set.

12 (Ex 26:5) He made fifty loops in the one curtain

and made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain

which was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.

13 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains

to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.

14 (Ex 26:7-13) He made curtains of goats' hair for a tent

over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains in all.

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits,

and the width of each curtain was four cubits.

(About 45 feet long and 6 feet wide, or 14 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.)

The eleven curtains were all the same size.

16 He joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.

17 He made fifty loops on the outermost edge of the curtain in the first

set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which joined

the second set.

18 He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together,

so that it would be one unit.

19 He made a covering for the tent out of rams' skins

dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.

20 (Ex 25:5) Then he made boards for the tabernacle out of acacia wood,

standing upright.

21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board

was one and a half cubits.

(About 15 feet long and 2 1/4 feet wide, or 4.5 meters long

and 68 centimeters wide.)

22 Each board had two tenons, equally distant from each other.

He did this for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 He made boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side.

24 He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards;

two sockets under one board for its two tenons

and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

25 For the other side of the tabernacle,

which is toward the north corner,

he made twenty boards,

26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board,

and two sockets under another board.

27 For the back of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

28 He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back.

29 They were doubled beneath and joined together at the top in one ring.

He did this with both of them in both the corners.

30 There were eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets,

two under every board.

31 (Ex 26:26-29) He made bars of acacia wood,

five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle,

and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the back to the west.

33 He made the middle bar to pass through

the boards from the one end to the other.

34 He overlaid the boards with gold,

and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars,

and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 (Mt 27:51) He made a veil of blue, and purple,

and scarlet, and fine twined linen. He made cherubim,

the work of a skillful designer.

36 He made four pillars of acacia wood and overlaid them

with gold with their hooks of gold,

and he cast four sockets of silver for them.

37 He made a hanging for the tabernacle

entrance of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen,

the work of an embroiderer.

38 And he made its five pillars with their hooks,

and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold,

but their five sockets were of bronze.



[8] And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the

tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and

scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

[9] The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth

of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

[10] And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five

curtains he coupled one unto another.

[11] And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge

in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain,

in the coupling of the second.

[12] Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge

of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one

curtain to another.

[13] And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto

another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

[14] And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle:

eleven curtains he made them.

[15] The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the

breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

[16] And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by

themselves.

[17] And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the

coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which

coupleth the second.

[18] And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it

might be one.

[19] And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a

covering of badgers' skins above that.

[20] And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.

[21] The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one

cubit and a half.

[22] One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he

make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

[23] And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side

southward:

[24] And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two

sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another

board for his two tenons.

[25] And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north

corner, he made twenty boards,

[26] And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two

sockets under another board.

[27] And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

[28] And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two

sides.

[29] And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head

thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

[30] And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of

silver, under every board two sockets.

[31] And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side

of the tabernacle,

[32] And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and

five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

[33] And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end

to the other.

[34] And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to

be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

[35] And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined

linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.

[36] And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them

with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of

silver.

[37] And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and

scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;

[38] And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their

chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.

and its height a cubit and a half.

(About 3 3/4 feet long and 2 1/4 feet wide and high,

or 1.1 meters long and 68 centimeters wide and high; similarly in v. 6.)

2 He overlaid it with pure gold, inside and out,

and made a gold molding for it all around.

3 He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet,

and one and a half cubits wide.

7 He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of hammered metal

on the two ends of the mercy seat:

8 one cherub on one end, and one cherub on the other end.

Of one piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim on its two ends.

9 The cherubim spread out their wings upward, covering the mercy seat

with their wings, with their faces toward each other.

The faces of the cherubim were looking toward the mercy seat.



[1] And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the

length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a

half the height of it:

[2] And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown

of gold to it round about.

[3] And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of

it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other

[4] And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

[5] And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear

the ark.

[6] And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the

length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

[7] And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them,

on the two ends of the mercy seat;

[8] One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end

on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends

thereof.

wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the

mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

I've Seen God's Faithfulness



2 Samuel 22:1-4,48-51



1 (Ex 15:1; Jdg 5:1) Now on the day the Lord delivered him from the hand

of all of his enemies and from the hand of Saul,

David spoke to the Lord the words of this song.

2 (Ps 31:3; 71:3)He said:

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

3 (Ge 15:1; Ps 9:9) the God of my strength, in whom I will trust;

my shield and the horn of my salvation,

my fortress and my sanctuary;

my Savior, You save me from violence.

4 (Ps 48:1; 96:4) I call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy,

and I am saved from my enemies.

48 (Ps 144:2; 94:1) the God who gave me retribution

and brought down peoples under me,

49 (Ps 140:1) who brought me out from my enemies.

You exalted me above those who rose up against me;

You delivered me from violent ones.

50 (Ro 15:9) Therefore, I praise You, O Lord, among the nations;

I sing praises to Your name.

51 (Ps 144:10; 2Sa 7:12-13) He is a tower of salvation for His king,

and He acts faithfully toward His anointed,

toward David and his descendants forever.



[1] And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the

LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the

hand of Saul:

[2] And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

[3] The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn

of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me

from violence.

[4] I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be

saved from mine enemies.

[48] It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,

[49] And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me

up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from

the violent man.

[50] Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and

I will sing praises unto thy name.

[51] He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his

anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.



Throughout her historic seventy years as Britain's ruler,

Queen Elizabeth II only endorsed one biography about her life with a

personal foreword, The Servant Queen and the King She Serves.

Released in celebration of her ninetieth birthday, the book recounts

how her faith guided her as she served her country. In the foreword,

Queen Elizabeth expressed gratitude for everyone who'd prayed for her,

and she thanked God for His steadfast love. She concluded,

"I have indeed seen His faithfulness."



Queen Elizabeth's simple statement echoes the testimonies of men and women

throughout history who've experienced the personal, faithful care of God

in their lives. It's this theme underlying a beautiful song King David wrote

as he reflected on his life. Recorded in 2 Samuel 22, the song speaks of God's

faithfulness in protecting David, providing for him, and even rescuing him

when his very life was in danger (vv. 3-4, 44). In response to his experience

of God's faithfulness, David wrote,

"I will sing the praises of your name" (v. 50).



While there's added beauty when God's faithfulness is seen over a long

ifetime, we don't have to wait to recount His care in our lives. When

we recognise that it's not our own abilities that carry us through life

but the faithful care of a loving Father, we're moved to gratitude and praise.



By: Lisa M. Samra



Reflect & Pray



How have you seen God's faithfulness?

How might you express your gratitude to Him?



Heavenly Father, I'm so grateful that in

every season of life-sorrow or joy-I've seen Your faithfulness.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 1 - Forgiving as God Forgave



Col 3:13



13 Bear with one another and forgive one another. If anyone

has a quarrel against anyone, even as Christ forgave you, so you must do.



13 forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man

have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.



"No!" Brett slammed his hand against the desk to punctuate his point.

"My wife's infidelity is completely unforgivable. She just wants to make things

look good, to have me condone her new relationship.

I won't do it. I won't forgive her."

Brett was a man in pain, and his perspective on forgiving

his wife is understandable. But unfortunately, many of us are

the victims of "unforgivable" offenses; many of us, as well,

are the perpetrators of such offenses, and we desperately need

to be forgiven.

Brett ultimately came to understand that forgiving and "unforgivable"

hurt is not based on the worthiness of the recipient of forgiveness,

but on the worthiness of Christ himself. The Bible teaches that we are bound

to forgiveness for one simple reason:

because God has forgiven us in Jesus Christ.

"Forgive as the Lord forgave", Paul commands in Col 3:13 . How did Christ

forgive? Freely, completely, without basing his forgiveness on our merit. He

forgave us unilaterally, offering forgiveness before we asked,

before we were aware of our sin and the pain it caused him,

before we came to him in repentance.

Forgiveness does more that release the perpetrator for the bondage of

his wrongdoing. It releases the victim as well. Forgiveness frees

the forgiver from the bondage of anger and bitterness that keeps him distant

from the love of God. We can forgive the most "unforgivable" of offenses

against us when we focus our attention not on the offender, but on Christ,

who forgave us.



Application



a) Have I ever harboured unforgiveness toward another person?

What was the result in my spiritual/emotional life?



b) Is there someone in my life who has hurt me, who I need to forgive?

How can this verse help me extend the forgiveness to that person?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Luke 12:21



21 "So is he who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."



21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.



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



When you are Impatient



James 5:7-11



Patience and Prayer



7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.

Notice how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth

and is patient with it until he receives the early and late rain.

8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts,

for the coming of the Lord is drawing near.

9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned.

Look, the Judge is standing at the door.

10 My brothers, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord,

as an example of suffering and patience.

11 Indeed we count them happy who endure.

You have heard of the patience of Job

and have seen the purpose of the Lord,

that the Lord is very gracious and merciful.



7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,

the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long

patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord

draweth nigh.

9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:

behold, the judge standeth before the door.

10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord,

for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience

of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful,

and of tender mercy.





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 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 may have a total as high 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 largest 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 discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally 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.



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, ...) .
