Day 331 - 27 November 2021 reflections
Day 331, 27 November 2021
1)
1 Corinthians 1 - 4
1 Corinthians 1
Greeting and Thanksgiving
1 (Ro 1:1; Ac 18:17) Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ
through the will of God, and Sosthenes, our brother,
2 (Ro 1:7; Ac 18:1) To the church of God which is at Corinth,
to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints,
with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
both their Lord and ours:
3 (Ro 1:7) Grace to you and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 (Ro 1:8) I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God
which has been given to you through Jesus Christ.
5 (2Co 8:7; 9:11; Ro 15:14) By Him you are enriched in everything,
in all speech and in all knowledge,
6 (Rev 1:2; 1Ti 2:6) even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
7 (Php 3:20; 2Pe 3:12) so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting
for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 (1Th 3:13; Php 1:6; 1:10) He will strengthen you to the end,
so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 (1Jn 1:3; Isa 49:7; Dt 7:9) God is faithful, and by Him you were called
to the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Divisions in the Church
10 (1Co 11:18; Php 1:27) Now I ask you, brothers, by the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that you all speak in agreement and that there be no divisions
among you. But be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment.
11 (1Co 3:3) For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brothers,
by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 (Jn 1:42; 1Co 9:5) Now this is what I mean: Every one of you is saying,
"I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos,"
or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."
13 (Mt 28:19; Ac 2:38) Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you?
Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 (Ac 18:8; Ro 16:23) I thank God that I baptized none of you
except Crispus and Gaius,
15 lest any should say that I had baptised in my own name.
16 (1Co 16:15; 16:17) I also baptized the household of Stephanas.
Besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
17 (1Co 2:1; 2:13) For Christ did not send me to baptize,
but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent words,
lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Christ the Power and Wisdom of God
18 (Ro 1:16; 1Co 1:21) For to those who are perishing,
the preaching of the cross is foolishness,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 (Isa 29:14; Job 5:12-13) For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." (Isa 29:14.)
20 (Ro 1:22; Job 12:17) Where is the wise? Where is the scribe?
Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom
of this world foolish?
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom
did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching
to save those who believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.
23 (Gal 5:11; Lk 2:34) But we preach Christ crucified,
a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Greeks.
24 (1Co 1:30; 1:18) But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks,
we preach Christ as the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 (1Co 1:18) For the foolishness of God is wiser than men,
and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 (1Co 1:20)For observe your calling, brothers. Among you,
not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty men,
and not many noble men were called.
27 (Ps 8:2; 1Co 1:20) But God has chosen the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise. God has chosen the weak things of
the world to confound the things which are mighty.
28 (Ro 4:17; 1Co 2:6) And God has chosen the base things of the world
and things which are despised. Yes, and He chose things which did not
exist to bring to nothing things that do,
29 (Eph 2:9) so that no flesh should boast in His presence.
30 (Jer 23:5–6; 1Co 1:2 ) But because of Him you are in Christ Jesus,
whom God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
31 (2Co 10:17; Jer 9:23-24) Therefore, as it is written, "
Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord." (Jer 9:24.)
1 Corinthians 2
Proclaiming Christ Crucified
1 (1Co 1:17; 2:4) Brothers, when I came to you, I did not come with
superiority of speech or wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.
2 (Gal 6:14) For I determined not to know anything among you
except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3 (2Co 13:4) I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.
4 (Ro 15:19; 1Co 4:20) My speech and my preaching was not with enticing
words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 (2Co 4:7; 6:7) so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men,
but in the power of God.
The Revelation by God's Spirit
6 (1Co 1:28; Heb 5:14) Yet we speak wisdom among those who are mature,
although not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age,
who are coming to nothing.
7 (Ro 16:25-26; 2Ti 1:9) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the ages for our glory.
8 (Ac 7:2; Jas 2:1) None of the rulers of this age knew it.
For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 (Isa 64:4; Mt 25:34) But as it is written,
"Eye has not seen,
nor ear heard,
nor has it entered into the heart of man
the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." (Isa 64:4.)
10 (Jn 14:26; Eph 3:3) But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 (Pr 20:27; Jer 17:9) For what man knows the things of a man,
except the spirit of man which is in him? Likewise,
no one knows the things of God, except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit which is of God, so that we might know the things
that are freely given to us by God.
13 (1Co 1:17; 2:4) These things also we proclaim, not in the words
which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 (1Co 1:18; Jude 1:19) But the natural man does not receive
the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him;
nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 (1Co 3:1; 14:37) But he who is spiritual judges all things.
Yet he himself is not judged by anyone.
16 (Jn 15:15; Ro 11:34) For
"who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct Him?"(Isa 40:13.)
But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 3
Fellow Servants of God
1 (Ro 7:14; 1Co 2:14-15) Brothers, I could not speak to you as
to spiritual men, but as to worldly, even as to babes in Christ.
2 (Jn 16:12; 1Pe 2:2) I have fed you with milk and not with solid food.
For to this day you were not able to endure it. Nor are you able now,
3 (1Co 1:11; 11:18) for you are still worldly. Since there is envy,
strife, and divisions among you, are you not worldly and behaving as mere men?
4 (1Co 1:12) For while one says, "I am of Paul," and another,
"I am of Apollos," are you not worldly?
5 (2Co 6:4; 1Co 3:10) Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos,
but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each one?
6 (Ac 18:4-11; 1Co 9:1) I have planted, Apollos watered,
but God gave the increase.
7 (Gal 6:3) So then neither is he who plants nor he who waters anything,
but God who gives the increase.
8 (Ps 62:12; Mt 16:27) Now he who plants and he who waters are one,
and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 (2Co 6:1; Eph 2:20-22) For we are laborers together with God:
You are God's vineyard; you are God's building.
10 (Ro 12:3; 15:20) According to the grace of God which has been given to me,
as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, but another builds
on it. Now let each one take heed how he builds on it.
11 (Eph 2:20; Isa 28:16; Mt 16:18) For no one can lay another foundation
than that which was laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver,
precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble,
13 (1Co 4:5; 2Th 1:7-10) each one's work will be revealed.
For the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire,
and the fire will test what sort of work each has done.
14 (1Co 3:8; 4:5) If anyone's work which he has built on the foundation
endures, he will receive a reward.
15 (Jude 1:23) If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss.
But he himself will be saved, still going through the fire.
16 (1Co 6:19; 2Co 6:16) Do you not know that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him.
For the temple of God is holy. And you are His temple.
18 (Isa 5:21; Gal 6:3) Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems
to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise.
19 (Job 5:13) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness,"(Job 5:13.)
20 (Ps 94:11) and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,
that they are vain."(Ps 94:11.)
21(1Co 4:6; Ro 8:32) Therefore let no one boast in men.
For all things are yours:
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life
or death or things present or things to come, all are yours,
23 (2Co 10:7; Gal 3:29) and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
1 Corinthians 4
The Ministry of the Apostles
1 (Ro 16:25; Titus 1:7) Let a man so regard us as the ministers of Christ
and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you
or by man's judgment. I do not even judge myself.
4 (Ps 143:2; 130:3) For I know nothing against myself.
Yet I am not justified by this. But He who judges me is the Lord.
5 (Ro 2:16; 2:1; 2:29) Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time
until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness
and will reveal the purposes of the hearts. Then everyone will have
commendation from God.
6 (1Co 1:12; 13:4) Brothers, I have figuratively applied these things
to myself and to Apollos for your sakes, so that you may learn from us
not to think of men above that which is written, and that not one of you
would be arrogant for one against another.
7 (Jn 3:27; Ro 12:6) For who makes you differ from another?
And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you received it,
why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 (Rev 3:17) Now you are full, now you are rich; you have begun reigning
as kings without us, and I wish to God you reigned, so that we also might
reign with you.
9 (Ro 8:36; Heb 10:33) For I think that God has exhibited us, the apostles,
last, as if we were sentenced to death. For we have been made a spectacle
to the world, to angels and to men.
10 (1Co 2:3; Ac 17:18; 26:24) We are fools for Christ's sake,
but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong.
You are honorable, but we are despised.
11 (Ro 8:35; 2Co 11:23-27) Even to this present hour we both hunger
and thirst, and are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless.
12 (1Pe 3:9; Ac 18:3; Mt 5:11) We labor, working with our own hands.
Being reviled, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13 (La 3:45) Being slandered, we encourage. We are made as the filth
of the world, and are the refuse of all things to this day.
14 (1Th 2:11; 1Co 4:15) I do not write these things to shame you,
but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 (Gal 4:19; 1Co 3:10) For if you were to have ten thousand instructors
in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers. In Christ Jesus
I have become a father to you through the gospel.
16 (1Co 11:1; Php 3:17) So I implore you, be followers of me.
17 (1Co 7:17; 1Ti 1:2) Therefore I have sent Timothy to you.
He is my beloved son and is faithful in the Lord.
He will remind you of my ways which are in Christ,
as I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Now some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.
19 (Ac 18:21; 19:21) But I will come to you shortly if the Lord wills.
And I will know not only what those who are arrogant are saying,
but also their power.
20 (1Co 2:4) For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 (2Co 13:2; 1:23) What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod,
or in love and in the spirit of meekness?

entitled Bold Faith
Acts 4:8-13
8 (Ac 2:4) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,
"Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
9 (Ac 3:7) If we today are being examined concerning a good deed
done to a crippled man, how this man has been healed,
10 (Ac 3:6) be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified,
whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands before you whole.
11 (Isa 28:16; Ps 118:22-23) He is
'the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.' (Ps 118:22.)
12 (Mt 1:21; Jn 3:36) There is no salvation in any other,for there is
no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
13 (Jn 7:15; Mt 11:25) When they saw the boldness of Peter and John
and perceived that they were illiterate and uneducated men, they marveled.
And they recognized that they had been with ÂJesus.
After Prem Pradhan’s (1924-1998) plane was shot down during World War II,
he was wounded while parachuting to safety. As a result, he walked with
a limp for the rest of his life. He once noted, "I have a lame leg.
Isn't it strange of God that He called [me] to preach the gospel
in the Himalaya Mountains?" And preach in Nepal he did-but
not without opposition that included imprisonment in "dungeons of death"
where prisoners faced extreme conditions. In a span of fifteen years,
Prem spent ten years in fourteen different prisons. His bold witness,
however, bore the fruit of changed lives for Christ that included guards
and prisoners who took the message of Jesus to their own people.
The apostle Peter faced opposition due to his faith in Jesus
and for being used by God to heal a "man who was lame" (Acts 4:9).
But he used the opportunity to boldly speak for Christ (vv. 8-13).
Today, like Peter, we too may face opposition (v. 3),
yet we have family members, co-workers, fellow students,
and others we know who desperately need to hear about the One
in whom "salvation is found" (v. 12), who died as payment
for our sins and was raised from the dead as proof of His power
to forgive (v. 10). May they hear as we prayerfully
and boldly proclaim this good news of salvation found in Jesus.
By: Arthur Jackson
Reflect & Pray
How will you boldly share Jesus today?
What keeps you from telling others about Him?
How can you be better prepared to do so?
Father, thank You for what You've done for me.
Help me, in Jesus' name, to boldly share my faith with others.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 7 - Oh, Freedom!
Rom 8:1-2
Life in the Spirit
1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.
In the classic movie, I want to live! actress Susan Hayward
plays a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.
The suspence builds; the execution is delayed as the officials
wait for a word of pardon. Finally, the woman in executed;
the call comes, and the pardon has been granted, but it is too late.
When no pardon is granted, condemnation leads to death. Our sin
marks us as "guilty" before God, and we deserve the wages of sin,
which is death. But in Jesus Christ, the pardon does come - and
it comes in time. Our sin deserves condemnation by God, and yet
he forgives us because Christ paid the penalty for us,
But we face other kinds of condemnation as well - self-condemnation,
that internal accusation that we still, somehow, must pay the price
of our own sin. Others often condemn us as well, offering much less
forgiveness and mercy than God does. And the Enemy of our souls condemns
us, trying to convince us that we don't, after all, have real freedom
from sin.
Yet Paul tells us in Romans 8, "There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus". God has forgiven us freely; he has
granted his pardon. And in light of his forgiveness, how can we live
under the condemnation of others - or even of ourselves?
We are free, Paul says - free from the "law of sin and death,"
free to live in the liberty of the Spirit. The stay of execution
has come: the pardon has been granted. Never again can we tried
for the same crimes: never again must we live under the burden
of condemnation.
Application
a) Have I ever lived under the burden of condemnation from myself
or others? Why?
b) How can Romans 8:1-2 help me live in freedom of such condemnation?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Exodus 3:7-8
7 (Ps 106:44; Ex 2:23-25)The Lord said,
"I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt
and have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters,
for I know their sorrows.
8 (Ge 50:24; 15:18-21; Ex 13:5) Therefore, I have come down
to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land,
to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of
the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites."
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are lonely
PSALMS 23
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He restores my soul;
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup runs over.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
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?)
Newfoundland & Labrador
Total population 527000
Muslim population (est.) 2065
As of Autumn 2014, St. John's does not have a local CNMM network. Pray with us
for God's people to come together in prayer
and cooperative efforts to reach Muslims with the Good News.
St. John's has one mosque and 2 more musallas , or prayer locations, which
may grow into mosques of their own. The mosque is called Masjid an Noor,
The Mosque of the Light, and mosque historical documents record a trip in 1986
to Saudi Arabia to raise funds for the land purchase and construction costs.
A small number of Muslim families had come prior to 1964, but moved on to
other places after a short time. After this date, a small community began
to remain and grow , reaching about 25 families in the 1980s. A number
of international students also join the community annually
ranging from 25 to 60.
In 2014 the mosque website reports the community is made up of some 200
families and many university students attending Memorial University. A
small number of native Newfoundlanders have also converted to the Islamic
faith, one saying of this religion in Newfoundland, "Islam is a growing face".
With the growth of the community, the current challenge is lack of space
in the mosque, which they are now looking at expanding.
Pray for
- The true Light of life, Jesus Christ, to be revealed to Muslims
in Newfoundland through the word, dreams, visions and answers to prayer.
- Christians to be as "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" regarding
Islam and reaching out in loving witness to Muslims in St. John's.
- for a dedicated, intentional witness to the growing number of Muslim
students on the university, college and trade school campuses.
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, ...) .

1 Corinthians 1 - 4
1 Corinthians 1
Greeting and Thanksgiving
1 (Ro 1:1; Ac 18:17) Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ
through the will of God, and Sosthenes, our brother,
2 (Ro 1:7; Ac 18:1) To the church of God which is at Corinth,
to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints,
with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
both their Lord and ours:
3 (Ro 1:7) Grace to you and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 (Ro 1:8) I thank my God always on your behalf for the grace of God
which has been given to you through Jesus Christ.
5 (2Co 8:7; 9:11; Ro 15:14) By Him you are enriched in everything,
in all speech and in all knowledge,
6 (Rev 1:2; 1Ti 2:6) even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,
7 (Php 3:20; 2Pe 3:12) so that you are not lacking in any gift while waiting
for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
8 (1Th 3:13; Php 1:6; 1:10) He will strengthen you to the end,
so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 (1Jn 1:3; Isa 49:7; Dt 7:9) God is faithful, and by Him you were called
to the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Divisions in the Church
10 (1Co 11:18; Php 1:27) Now I ask you, brothers, by the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, that you all speak in agreement and that there be no divisions
among you. But be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment.
11 (1Co 3:3) For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brothers,
by those who are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
12 (Jn 1:42; 1Co 9:5) Now this is what I mean: Every one of you is saying,
"I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos,"
or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."
13 (Mt 28:19; Ac 2:38) Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you?
Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 (Ac 18:8; Ro 16:23) I thank God that I baptized none of you
except Crispus and Gaius,
15 lest any should say that I had baptised in my own name.
16 (1Co 16:15; 16:17) I also baptized the household of Stephanas.
Besides them, I do not know whether I baptized any other.
17 (1Co 2:1; 2:13) For Christ did not send me to baptize,
but to preach the gospel, not with eloquent words,
lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Christ the Power and Wisdom of God
18 (Ro 1:16; 1Co 1:21) For to those who are perishing,
the preaching of the cross is foolishness,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
19 (Isa 29:14; Job 5:12-13) For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." (Isa 29:14.)
20 (Ro 1:22; Job 12:17) Where is the wise? Where is the scribe?
Where is the debater of this age? Has God not made the wisdom
of this world foolish?
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom
did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching
to save those who believe.
22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom.
23 (Gal 5:11; Lk 2:34) But we preach Christ crucified,
a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Greeks.
24 (1Co 1:30; 1:18) But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks,
we preach Christ as the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 (1Co 1:18) For the foolishness of God is wiser than men,
and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26 (1Co 1:20)For observe your calling, brothers. Among you,
not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty men,
and not many noble men were called.
27 (Ps 8:2; 1Co 1:20) But God has chosen the foolish things
of the world to confound the wise. God has chosen the weak things of
the world to confound the things which are mighty.
28 (Ro 4:17; 1Co 2:6) And God has chosen the base things of the world
and things which are despised. Yes, and He chose things which did not
exist to bring to nothing things that do,
29 (Eph 2:9) so that no flesh should boast in His presence.
30 (Jer 23:5–6; 1Co 1:2 ) But because of Him you are in Christ Jesus,
whom God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
31 (2Co 10:17; Jer 9:23-24) Therefore, as it is written, "
Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord." (Jer 9:24.)
1 Corinthians 2
Proclaiming Christ Crucified
1 (1Co 1:17; 2:4) Brothers, when I came to you, I did not come with
superiority of speech or wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of God.
2 (Gal 6:14) For I determined not to know anything among you
except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
3 (2Co 13:4) I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.
4 (Ro 15:19; 1Co 4:20) My speech and my preaching was not with enticing
words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5 (2Co 4:7; 6:7) so that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men,
but in the power of God.
The Revelation by God's Spirit
6 (1Co 1:28; Heb 5:14) Yet we speak wisdom among those who are mature,
although not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age,
who are coming to nothing.
7 (Ro 16:25-26; 2Ti 1:9) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the ages for our glory.
8 (Ac 7:2; Jas 2:1) None of the rulers of this age knew it.
For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 (Isa 64:4; Mt 25:34) But as it is written,
"Eye has not seen,
nor ear heard,
nor has it entered into the heart of man
the things which God has prepared for those who love Him." (Isa 64:4.)
10 (Jn 14:26; Eph 3:3) But God has revealed them to us by His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 (Pr 20:27; Jer 17:9) For what man knows the things of a man,
except the spirit of man which is in him? Likewise,
no one knows the things of God, except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world,
but the Spirit which is of God, so that we might know the things
that are freely given to us by God.
13 (1Co 1:17; 2:4) These things also we proclaim, not in the words
which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 (1Co 1:18; Jude 1:19) But the natural man does not receive
the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him;
nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 (1Co 3:1; 14:37) But he who is spiritual judges all things.
Yet he himself is not judged by anyone.
16 (Jn 15:15; Ro 11:34) For
"who has known the mind of the Lord
that he may instruct Him?"(Isa 40:13.)
But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 3
Fellow Servants of God
1 (Ro 7:14; 1Co 2:14-15) Brothers, I could not speak to you as
to spiritual men, but as to worldly, even as to babes in Christ.
2 (Jn 16:12; 1Pe 2:2) I have fed you with milk and not with solid food.
For to this day you were not able to endure it. Nor are you able now,
3 (1Co 1:11; 11:18) for you are still worldly. Since there is envy,
strife, and divisions among you, are you not worldly and behaving as mere men?
4 (1Co 1:12) For while one says, "I am of Paul," and another,
"I am of Apollos," are you not worldly?
5 (2Co 6:4; 1Co 3:10) Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos,
but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to each one?
6 (Ac 18:4-11; 1Co 9:1) I have planted, Apollos watered,
but God gave the increase.
7 (Gal 6:3) So then neither is he who plants nor he who waters anything,
but God who gives the increase.
8 (Ps 62:12; Mt 16:27) Now he who plants and he who waters are one,
and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 (2Co 6:1; Eph 2:20-22) For we are laborers together with God:
You are God's vineyard; you are God's building.
10 (Ro 12:3; 15:20) According to the grace of God which has been given to me,
as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, but another builds
on it. Now let each one take heed how he builds on it.
11 (Eph 2:20; Isa 28:16; Mt 16:18) For no one can lay another foundation
than that which was laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver,
precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble,
13 (1Co 4:5; 2Th 1:7-10) each one's work will be revealed.
For the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire,
and the fire will test what sort of work each has done.
14 (1Co 3:8; 4:5) If anyone's work which he has built on the foundation
endures, he will receive a reward.
15 (Jude 1:23) If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss.
But he himself will be saved, still going through the fire.
16 (1Co 6:19; 2Co 6:16) Do you not know that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him.
For the temple of God is holy. And you are His temple.
18 (Isa 5:21; Gal 6:3) Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems
to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise.
19 (Job 5:13) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness,"(Job 5:13.)
20 (Ps 94:11) and again, "The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise,
that they are vain."(Ps 94:11.)
21(1Co 4:6; Ro 8:32) Therefore let no one boast in men.
For all things are yours:
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life
or death or things present or things to come, all are yours,
23 (2Co 10:7; Gal 3:29) and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
1 Corinthians 4
The Ministry of the Apostles
1 (Ro 16:25; Titus 1:7) Let a man so regard us as the ministers of Christ
and stewards of the mysteries of God.
2 Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you
or by man's judgment. I do not even judge myself.
4 (Ps 143:2; 130:3) For I know nothing against myself.
Yet I am not justified by this. But He who judges me is the Lord.
5 (Ro 2:16; 2:1; 2:29) Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time
until the Lord comes. He will bring to light the hidden things of darkness
and will reveal the purposes of the hearts. Then everyone will have
commendation from God.
6 (1Co 1:12; 13:4) Brothers, I have figuratively applied these things
to myself and to Apollos for your sakes, so that you may learn from us
not to think of men above that which is written, and that not one of you
would be arrogant for one against another.
7 (Jn 3:27; Ro 12:6) For who makes you differ from another?
And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you received it,
why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 (Rev 3:17) Now you are full, now you are rich; you have begun reigning
as kings without us, and I wish to God you reigned, so that we also might
reign with you.
9 (Ro 8:36; Heb 10:33) For I think that God has exhibited us, the apostles,
last, as if we were sentenced to death. For we have been made a spectacle
to the world, to angels and to men.
10 (1Co 2:3; Ac 17:18; 26:24) We are fools for Christ's sake,
but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong.
You are honorable, but we are despised.
11 (Ro 8:35; 2Co 11:23-27) Even to this present hour we both hunger
and thirst, and are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless.
12 (1Pe 3:9; Ac 18:3; Mt 5:11) We labor, working with our own hands.
Being reviled, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13 (La 3:45) Being slandered, we encourage. We are made as the filth
of the world, and are the refuse of all things to this day.
14 (1Th 2:11; 1Co 4:15) I do not write these things to shame you,
but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 (Gal 4:19; 1Co 3:10) For if you were to have ten thousand instructors
in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers. In Christ Jesus
I have become a father to you through the gospel.
16 (1Co 11:1; Php 3:17) So I implore you, be followers of me.
17 (1Co 7:17; 1Ti 1:2) Therefore I have sent Timothy to you.
He is my beloved son and is faithful in the Lord.
He will remind you of my ways which are in Christ,
as I teach everywhere in every church.
18 Now some are arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.
19 (Ac 18:21; 19:21) But I will come to you shortly if the Lord wills.
And I will know not only what those who are arrogant are saying,
but also their power.
20 (1Co 2:4) For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 (2Co 13:2; 1:23) What do you desire? Shall I come to you with a rod,
or in love and in the spirit of meekness?

entitled Bold Faith
Acts 4:8-13
8 (Ac 2:4) Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,
"Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:
9 (Ac 3:7) If we today are being examined concerning a good deed
done to a crippled man, how this man has been healed,
10 (Ac 3:6) be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel,
that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified,
whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands before you whole.
11 (Isa 28:16; Ps 118:22-23) He is
'the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.' (Ps 118:22.)
12 (Mt 1:21; Jn 3:36) There is no salvation in any other,for there is
no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
13 (Jn 7:15; Mt 11:25) When they saw the boldness of Peter and John
and perceived that they were illiterate and uneducated men, they marveled.
And they recognized that they had been with ÂJesus.
After Prem Pradhan’s (1924-1998) plane was shot down during World War II,
he was wounded while parachuting to safety. As a result, he walked with
a limp for the rest of his life. He once noted, "I have a lame leg.
Isn't it strange of God that He called [me] to preach the gospel
in the Himalaya Mountains?" And preach in Nepal he did-but
not without opposition that included imprisonment in "dungeons of death"
where prisoners faced extreme conditions. In a span of fifteen years,
Prem spent ten years in fourteen different prisons. His bold witness,
however, bore the fruit of changed lives for Christ that included guards
and prisoners who took the message of Jesus to their own people.
The apostle Peter faced opposition due to his faith in Jesus
and for being used by God to heal a "man who was lame" (Acts 4:9).
But he used the opportunity to boldly speak for Christ (vv. 8-13).
Today, like Peter, we too may face opposition (v. 3),
yet we have family members, co-workers, fellow students,
and others we know who desperately need to hear about the One
in whom "salvation is found" (v. 12), who died as payment
for our sins and was raised from the dead as proof of His power
to forgive (v. 10). May they hear as we prayerfully
and boldly proclaim this good news of salvation found in Jesus.
By: Arthur Jackson
Reflect & Pray
How will you boldly share Jesus today?
What keeps you from telling others about Him?
How can you be better prepared to do so?
Father, thank You for what You've done for me.
Help me, in Jesus' name, to boldly share my faith with others.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 7 - Oh, Freedom!
Rom 8:1-2
Life in the Spirit
1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.
In the classic movie, I want to live! actress Susan Hayward
plays a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.
The suspence builds; the execution is delayed as the officials
wait for a word of pardon. Finally, the woman in executed;
the call comes, and the pardon has been granted, but it is too late.
When no pardon is granted, condemnation leads to death. Our sin
marks us as "guilty" before God, and we deserve the wages of sin,
which is death. But in Jesus Christ, the pardon does come - and
it comes in time. Our sin deserves condemnation by God, and yet
he forgives us because Christ paid the penalty for us,
But we face other kinds of condemnation as well - self-condemnation,
that internal accusation that we still, somehow, must pay the price
of our own sin. Others often condemn us as well, offering much less
forgiveness and mercy than God does. And the Enemy of our souls condemns
us, trying to convince us that we don't, after all, have real freedom
from sin.
Yet Paul tells us in Romans 8, "There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus". God has forgiven us freely; he has
granted his pardon. And in light of his forgiveness, how can we live
under the condemnation of others - or even of ourselves?
We are free, Paul says - free from the "law of sin and death,"
free to live in the liberty of the Spirit. The stay of execution
has come: the pardon has been granted. Never again can we tried
for the same crimes: never again must we live under the burden
of condemnation.
Application
a) Have I ever lived under the burden of condemnation from myself
or others? Why?
b) How can Romans 8:1-2 help me live in freedom of such condemnation?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Exodus 3:7-8
7 (Ps 106:44; Ex 2:23-25)The Lord said,
"I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt
and have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters,
for I know their sorrows.
8 (Ge 50:24; 15:18-21; Ex 13:5) Therefore, I have come down
to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians,
and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land,
to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of
the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites,
the Hivites, and the Jebusites."

When you are lonely
PSALMS 23
A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He restores my soul;
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup runs over.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
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?)
Newfoundland & Labrador
Total population 527000
Muslim population (est.) 2065
As of Autumn 2014, St. John's does not have a local CNMM network. Pray with us
for God's people to come together in prayer
and cooperative efforts to reach Muslims with the Good News.
St. John's has one mosque and 2 more musallas , or prayer locations, which
may grow into mosques of their own. The mosque is called Masjid an Noor,
The Mosque of the Light, and mosque historical documents record a trip in 1986
to Saudi Arabia to raise funds for the land purchase and construction costs.
A small number of Muslim families had come prior to 1964, but moved on to
other places after a short time. After this date, a small community began
to remain and grow , reaching about 25 families in the 1980s. A number
of international students also join the community annually
ranging from 25 to 60.
In 2014 the mosque website reports the community is made up of some 200
families and many university students attending Memorial University. A
small number of native Newfoundlanders have also converted to the Islamic
faith, one saying of this religion in Newfoundland, "Islam is a growing face".
With the growth of the community, the current challenge is lack of space
in the mosque, which they are now looking at expanding.
Pray for
- The true Light of life, Jesus Christ, to be revealed to Muslims
in Newfoundland through the word, dreams, visions and answers to prayer.
- Christians to be as "wise as serpents and harmless as doves" regarding
Islam and reaching out in loving witness to Muslims in St. John's.
- for a dedicated, intentional witness to the growing number of Muslim
students on the university, college and trade school campuses.
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, ...) .
