1 Kings 22 ; 2 Chron 18



1 KINGS 22



Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab



2Ch 18:1-27



1 And there were three years without war between Aram and Israel.

2 (1Ki 15:24; 22:1) In the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went

to visit the king of Israel.

3 (Dt 4:43; Jos 21:38) The king of Israel said to his servants, "You know that

Ramoth in Gilead is ours, but we have done nothing to take it out of the hand

of the king of Aram!"

4 (2Ki 3:7) And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle

Ramoth Gilead?"

And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel,

"I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

5 (2Ki 3:11) Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel,

"Please ask for a word from the Lord today."

6 (1Ki 18:19) Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together,

approximately four hundred men, and said to them,

"Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I wait?"

And they said,

"Go up, for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king."

7 Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not a prophet of the Lord here whom we can ask?"

8 (Am 5:10) And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is still

one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we can inquire of the Lord.

But I hate him because he never prophesies good for me, but always evil."

And Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."

9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said,

"Quickly, bring Micaiah the son of Imlah."

10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each put on his robes

and sat on his throne at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and

all the prophets prophesied before them.

11 (Zec 1:18–21; Dt 33:17) Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made horns of iron

and said, "Thus says the Lord: With these you shall push the Arameans

until you have consumed them."

12 All the prophets prophesied similarly, saying,

"Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it

into the king's hand."

13 The servant who had gone to get Micaiah spoke to him, saying,

"See here, the words of the prophets unanimously declare success for the king.

Please let your word be like the word of one of them,

and speak that which is good."

14 (Nu 24:13; 22:18) Micaiah said, "As the Lord lives, I will speak

whatever the Lord says to me."

15 So he came to the king. And the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go

against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we wait?"

And he answered him, "Go and prosper, for the Lord will

deliver it into the hand of the king."

16 The king said to him, "How many times must I admonish you to tell me only

the truth in the name of the Lord?"

17 (Nu 27:17; Mt 9:36) And he said, "I saw all Israel scattered

upon the hills, as sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord said,

'These have no master. Let every man return to his own house in peace.'"

18 (1Ki 22:8) The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you

that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"

19 (Job 1:6; 2:1) And he said, "Hear, therefore, the word of the Lord:

I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing

beside Him on His right hand and on His left.

20 The Lord said, 'Who will persuade Ahab so that he will go up and die

at Ramoth Gilead?'

"And one said this, and another said that.

21 Then a spirit came forth and stood before the Lord and said, 'I will

persuade him.'

22 (Jdg 9:23; Eze 14:9) "The Lord said to him, 'How?'

"And he said, 'I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.'

"And He said, 'You will be successful and persuade him. Go forth, and do so.'

23 (Eze 14:9) "Now therefore, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths

of all your prophets here, and He has spoken evil concerning you!"

24 (Ac 23:2; La 3:30) Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah walked up

and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said,

"Which way did the spirit of the Lord go from me in order to speak to you?"

25 (1Ki 20:30) And Micaiah said, "You will see in that day,

when you go into an inner chamber to hide."

26 The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah back to Amon the governor

of the city and to Joash the king's son,

27 (2Ch 16:10; 18:25-27) and say, ‘Thus says the king: Put this man

in the prison, and feed him with reduced rations

of bread and water until I return safely.'"

28 (Mic 1:2; Nu 16:29) Micaiah said, "If you return safely, the Lord has not

spoken through me." And he said, "Listen, all you people!"



Ahab Dies in Battle



2Ch 18:28–34



29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah

went up to Ramoth Gilead.

30 (2Ch 35:22) The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,

"I will disguise myself and enter into the battle, but you wear your robes."

And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.

31 (1Ki 20:24; 2Ch 18:30) But the king of Aram ordered his 32 commanders

who had control over his chariots, saying,

"Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel."

32 So when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said,

"Surely it is the king of Israel." And they turned aside to fight against him,

and Jehoshaphat cried out.

33 When the commanders of the chariots realized that it was not

the king of Israel, they turned away from pursuing him.

34 (2Ch 35:23) A certain man drew a bow at random

and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor,

and because of this, he said to the driver of his chariot,

"Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded."

35 The battle intensified that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot

against the Arameans and died that evening, and the blood ran

out of the wound into the floor of the chariot.

36 (2Ki 14:12) A proclamation went throughout the army as the sun was setting,

saying, "Every man is to return to his city, and every man is to return

to his own country."

37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried him there.

38 (1Ki 21:19) The chariot was washed in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs

licked up the king's blood, and they washed his armor according

to the word which the Lord spoke.

39 (Am 3:15) Now the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did

and the ivory house that he built and all the cities that he built,

are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

40 So Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.



Jehoshaphat, King of Judah

2Ch 20:31-21:1



41 (2Ch 20:31) Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah

in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

42 Jehoshaphat was 35 years old when he began to reign,

and he reigned 25 years in Jerusalem. His mother;s name was Azubah,

the daughter of Shilhi.

43 (1Ki 15:14; 2Ki 12:3) He walked in all the ways of Asa his father.

He did not turn aside, doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord.

Nevertheless, the high places were not taken down, and the people continued

to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.

44 (1Ki 22:2; 2Ki 8:18) So Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat and the strength he showed

and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles

of the kings of Judah?

46 (1Ki 14:24; 15:12) And he exterminated from the land the remnant

of the male cult prostitutes who remained in the days of his father Asa.

47 (2Sa 8:14; 2Ki 3:9) At that time there was no king in Edom,

and a regent sat in the king's place.

48 (1Ki 9:26; 10:22) Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir

for gold, but they never made it there, for the ships were broken

at Ezion Geber.

49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat,

"Let my servants go with your servants in the ships."

But Jehoshaphat did not agree.

50 (2Ch 21:1) Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers

and was buried with his fathers

in the City of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.



Ahaziah, King of Israel



51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria

the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned

two years over Israel.

52 (1Ki 15:26; 21:25) He did evil in the sight of the Lord

and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother

and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel sin,

53 (1Ki 16:30-32) for he served Baal and worshipped him

and provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger,

according to all that his father had done.



2 CHRONICLES 18



Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab



1Ki 22:1-28



1 (2Ch 17:5; 21:6) Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor,

and he married into the family of Ahab.

2A t the end of some years he went down to Ahab in Samaria.

And Ahab slaughtered a great amount of sheep and oxen for Jehoshaphat

and those who journeyed with him and then lured him up to Ramoth Gilead.

3 And King Ahab of Israel said to King Jehoshaphat of Judah,

"Will you go up with me to Ramoth Gilead?"

And he responded,

"I am as you are, and as your people also my people are.

We will be with you in this war"”

4 And Jehoshaphat further said to the king of Israel,

"Inquire today the word of the Lord on this."

5 So the king of Israel gathered together four hundred prophets,

and he inquired from them, "Should I go up to Ramoth Gilead for battle,

or should I cease from this?"

They said, "Go up, for God will give this to the hand of the king."

6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not still here another prophet

for the Lord from whom we might inquire?"

7 (Lk 6:22) Then the king of Israel responded to Jehoshaphat,

"There is still one man from whom we can seek the Lord,

but I hate him because he does not prophesy anything good

for me but always disaster. He is Micaiah the son of Imlah."

And Jehoshaphat said, "May the king not speak like this."

8 So the king of Israel called to a court eunuch and said,

"Hurry and bring Micaiah the son of Imlah."

9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah

were sitting on their own thrones, clothed in their royal garments,

at the threshing floor at the entrance at the gate of Samaria,

and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

10 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made for himself iron horns,

and he said, "Thus says the Lord: With these you will thrust

out the Arameans in Syria until they are finished."

11 And all the prophets were prophesying the same,

"Go up to Ramoth Gilead and find success,

because the Lord has given the king into your hands."

12 And the messenger who went to call Micaiah said to him,

"The words of the prophets are as one voice and only for good to the king,

so may your word be like one of them, and you speak favorably."

13 (Nu 22:35; 22:18-20) And Micaiah said, "As the Lord lives, whatever my God

says, that will I speak."

14 When he came to the king, the king said to him,

"Micaiah, should we go up to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or should I cease?"

He said, "All of you go up and be successful,

and they will be given into your hands."

15 Then the king said to him, "How many times must I cause you to swear

that you speak to me only truth in the name of the Lord?"

16 (Mt 9:36; Nu 27:17) Then he said, "I saw all Israel scattered

on the mountains like sheep that have no shepherd. The Lord said,

'There are no masters for them. Let each man return to his home in peace.'"

17 T hen the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not say to you that

he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"

18 (Da 7:9; Isa 6:1-5) So the prophet said, "Now hear the word of the Lord:

I saw the Lord sitting on His throne and the heavenly assembly was standing

at His right and His left.

19 And the Lord said, 'Who will deceive Ahab king of Israel so that he might

go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?'

"One was saying one thing, and another was saying something else.

20 (Job 1:6) Then a spirit came out and stood before the Lord, and he said,

'I will deceive him.'

"Then the Lord said to him, 'How?'

21 (Jn 8:44) "Then he said, 'I will go out and be a spirit of deception

in the mouth of all the prophets.'

"Then the Lord said, 'You will deceive and find success. Go out and do this.'

22 (Isa 19:14; Eze 14:9) "Now see that the Lord has put a spirit of deception

in the mouth of your prophets. So the Lord has declared disaster over you."

23 (Jer 20:2; Mk 14:65) Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near to Micaiah

and struck him on the cheek. And he said, "Which way then did the spirit

from the Lord pass from me to speak with you?"

24 Then Micaiah said, "You will see it on the day when you enter an inner

chamber to hide yourself."

25 (2Ch 18:8) And the king of Israel said, "Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon,

the governor of the city, and to Joash the son of the king,

26 (2Ch 16:10) and you will say, 'So says the king: Put him in a prison,

and feed him a little food and water until I return in peace.' "

27 Then Micaiah said, "If you certainly return in peace,

then the Lord has not spoken by me. Listen, all you people!"



The Death of Ahab



1Ki 22:29-36



28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up

to Ramoth Gilead.

29 (1Sa 28:8) Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,

"I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you will put on your clothes."

So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they both entered into battle.

30 And the king of Aram ordered the commanders of his chariots,

"Do not wage war with the small or great but with the king of Israel alone."

31 (2Ch 13:14) And it happened when the commanders of the chariots saw

Jehoshaphat they said, "It is the king of Israel."

So they turned on him to wage war. But Jehoshaphat cried out,

and the Lord helped him, then God drew them away from the king.

32 And it happened when the commanders of the chariots saw that he was

not the king of Israel, then they turned away from him.

33 But a man pulled his bow at random and struck the king of Israel

between his armor scales and body armor. He said to the commander

of the chariot, "Turn and remove me from the battle because I am wounded."

34 And the battle continued on that day, and the king of Israel

was set up in his chariot before the Arameans until evening.

Then he died when the sun set.

entitled God's Protection





PSALMS 63



A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.



1 O God, You are my God;

early will I seek You;

my soul thirsts for You,

my flesh faints for You,

in a dry and thirsty land

with no water.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I have seen You in the sanctuary,

to see Your power and Your glory.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,

my lips will praise You.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Thus will I bless You while I live;

I will lift up my hands in Your name.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) My soul will be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,

and my mouth will praise You with joyful lips.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) When I remember You on my bed,

and meditate on You in the night watches,

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) because You have been my help,

therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) My soul clings hard to You;

Your right hand upholds me.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) But those who seek my soul to destroy it

will go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) They will fall by the sword;

they will be a portion for jackals.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) But the king will rejoice in God;

everyone who swears by Him will glory,

because the mouth of liars will be stopped.



Needles, milk, mushrooms, elevators, births, bees, and bees in blenders

-these are just a fraction of the many phobias attributed to Mr. Adrian Monk,

detective and title character of the TV show Monk. But when he and longtime

rival Harold Krenshaw find themselves locked in a car trunk,

Monk has a breakthrough that allows him to cross off

at least one fear from his list-claustrophobia.



It's while Monk and Harold are both panicking that the epiphany comes,

abruptly interrupting Monk's angst.

"I think we've been looking at this the wrong way," he tells Harold.

"This trunk, these walls . . . they're not closing in on us . . . they're

protecting us, really. They’re keeping the bad stuff out . . . germs,

and snakes, and harmonicas." Eyes widening, Harold sees what he means

and whispers in wonder, "This trunk is our friend."



In Psalm 63, it's almost as if David has a similar epiphany. Despite being

in a "dry and parched land," when David remembers God's power, glory,

and love (vv. 1-3), it's as if the desert transforms into

a place of God's care and protection. Like a baby bird hiding in the shelter

of a mother's wings, David finds that when he clings to God, even in

that barren place, he can feast "as with the richest of foods" (v. 5),

finding nourishment and strength in a love that "is better than life" (v. 3).



By: Monica La Rose



Reflect & Pray

When have you experienced God's care for you while you were in

a difficult place? In what current struggles might you learn to

"sing in the shadow of [God's] wings"?



Loving Creator, Sustainer, and Nourisher, thank You for the miraculous way

Your love seeps into my heart in even the most difficult places, transforming

them into the shelter of Your wings.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 2 The Wardrobe of Joy Isaiah 61:10



10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord,

my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.



On her wedding day, the bride dresses carefully for the ceremony

that is about to take place. Never before has she spent so much time in preparation

for one relatively brief event. When she

looks in the mirror and rejoices in her happiness, she responds not out of vanity,

but for sheer joy as she anticipates the coming ceremeny.

God wants his people, lie that bride to be joyful, to rejoice in the Lord,

the Bridegroom. And he gives, through his grace, the garments of joy to his beloved ones.

He clothes us, Isaiah says, with salvation, and covers us with the robe of righteousness.

The wardrobe that God provides is not merely a utility garment, a coverall that hides

our sin from his eyes. It is his own righteousness in Christ,

given to us as a free gift, so that we might be united with him. And God himself, Isaiah says,

is filled with joy, adorning himself like a bridegroom.

When we truly see God's immeasurable gift in accepting us as him own, we also will

"greatly rejoice" in the Lord. He, the eternal god, Creator of the universe, desires to be

united with us, as a husband desires his wife! God does not simply accept us grudgingly,

reminding us of our unworthiness to be with him. Rather, he celbrates with unrestained joy

his oneness in Spirit with those he cals his own. And we, having been fully forgiven

and set free from sin, can rejoice unashamedly as well.

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



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.

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

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

Islam.

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

which means Blessed Eid!"

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

know, and Muslims around the world:

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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.



Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions,

and your old men shall dream dreams.'



- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.



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

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



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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -



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

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

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



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

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



(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .
