Leviticus 7-8
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.
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.
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.
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.
Leviticus 7
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
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?)

Proverbs 6:20-23
Warning Against Adultery
20 (Eph 6:1) My son, keep your father's commandment,
and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.
21 (Pr 3:3) Bind them continually upon your heart,
and tie them around your neck.
22 (Pr 2:11; 3:23-24) When you go, they will lead you;
when you sleep, they will keep you;
and when you awake, they will speak with you.
23 (Ps 119:105; 19:8) For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light;
and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
20 My son, keep thy father's commandment,
And forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart,
And tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee;
When thou sleepest, it shall keep thee;
And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
When the roof of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral caught fire in April 2019, its
ancient wood beams and lead sheeting created a furnace so hot it couldn't be
contained. After the cathedral's spire dramatically fell, attention turned to
its bell towers. If the giant steel bells' wooden frames also burned, their
collapse would bring both towers down, leaving the cathedral in ruins.
Pulling his firefighters back for safety, General Gallet, commander
of the Paris fire department, pondered what to do next. A firefighter named
Remi nervously approached. "Respectfully, General," he said, "I propose that
we run hoses up the exterior of the towers." Given the building's fragility
the commander dismissed the idea, but Remi spoke on. Soon General Gallet
faced a decision: follow the junior firefighter's advice
or leave the cathedral to fall.
Scripture has much to say about taking advice. While this is sometimes
in the context of youth respecting elders (Proverbs 6:20-23), most is not.
Proverbs says, "the wise listen to advice" (12:15), wars are won with
it (24:6), and only a fool fails to heed it (12:15). Wise people listen
to good advice, whatever the age or rank of those giving it.
General Gallet listened to Remi. The burning bell frames were hosed down
just in time, and the cathedral was saved. What problem do you need godly
advice on today? Sometimes God guides the humble through a junior's lips.
By: Sheridan Voysey
Reflect & Pray
In what situations do you find it difficult to listen to advice?
How can you best judge good advice from bad?
Father, by the work of the Holy Spirit, please give me the humility
to receive good advice from others.

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.
4And 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?

1 Cor 13:3
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.
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.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Inexhaustible Strength
Ps 18:30-34
30 As for God, His way has integrity;
the word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield
to all those who take refuge in Him.
31 For who is God except the Lord?
Or who is a rock besides our God?
32 It is God who clothes me with strength,
and gives my way integrity.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
and causes me to stand on my high places.
34 He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD?
Or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength,
And maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
And setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war,
So that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

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, ...) .

7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away.
For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you.
But if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 When He comes, He will convict the world of sin
and of righteousness and of judgment"
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you;

and of righteousness, and of judgment:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Rom 3:19-20
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,
it says to those who are under the law,
so that every mouth may be silenced,
and all the world may become accountable to God.
20 Therefore by the works of the law
no flesh will be justified in His sight,
for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are
under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become
guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified
in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
2 Cor 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive his recompense in the body,
according to what he has done,
whether it was good or bad.

may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.

that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ,

the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought
to the obedience of Christ;

Leviticus 7-8
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.
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.
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.
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.
Leviticus 7
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
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.

entitled Wise Advice
Proverbs 6:20-23
Warning Against Adultery
20 (Eph 6:1) My son, keep your father's commandment,
and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.
21 (Pr 3:3) Bind them continually upon your heart,
and tie them around your neck.
22 (Pr 2:11; 3:23-24) When you go, they will lead you;
when you sleep, they will keep you;
and when you awake, they will speak with you.
23 (Ps 119:105; 19:8) For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light;
and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
20 My son, keep thy father's commandment,
And forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart,
And tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee;
When thou sleepest, it shall keep thee;
And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
When the roof of Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral caught fire in April 2019, its
ancient wood beams and lead sheeting created a furnace so hot it couldn't be
contained. After the cathedral's spire dramatically fell, attention turned to
its bell towers. If the giant steel bells' wooden frames also burned, their
collapse would bring both towers down, leaving the cathedral in ruins.
Pulling his firefighters back for safety, General Gallet, commander
of the Paris fire department, pondered what to do next. A firefighter named
Remi nervously approached. "Respectfully, General," he said, "I propose that
we run hoses up the exterior of the towers." Given the building's fragility
the commander dismissed the idea, but Remi spoke on. Soon General Gallet
faced a decision: follow the junior firefighter's advice
or leave the cathedral to fall.
Scripture has much to say about taking advice. While this is sometimes
in the context of youth respecting elders (Proverbs 6:20-23), most is not.
Proverbs says, "the wise listen to advice" (12:15), wars are won with
it (24:6), and only a fool fails to heed it (12:15). Wise people listen
to good advice, whatever the age or rank of those giving it.
General Gallet listened to Remi. The burning bell frames were hosed down
just in time, and the cathedral was saved. What problem do you need godly
advice on today? Sometimes God guides the humble through a junior's lips.
By: Sheridan Voysey
Reflect & Pray
In what situations do you find it difficult to listen to advice?
How can you best judge good advice from bad?
Father, by the work of the Holy Spirit, please give me the humility
to receive good advice from others.
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.
4And 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
1 Cor 13:3
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.
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.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Inexhaustible Strength
Ps 18:30-34
30 As for God, His way has integrity;
the word of the Lord is proven;
He is a shield
to all those who take refuge in Him.
31 For who is God except the Lord?
Or who is a rock besides our God?
32 It is God who clothes me with strength,
and gives my way integrity.
33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
and causes me to stand on my high places.
34 He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
30 As for God, his way is perfect:
The word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD?
Or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength,
And maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,
And setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war,
So that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

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, ...) .

16th Day of the Month
a) Pray that God will convict the hearts of Canadians of the false
idea that all moral choices are equal and
without consequences
( John 16:7-8
7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away.
For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you.
But if I go, I will send Him to you.
8 When He comes, He will convict the world of sin
and of righteousness and of judgment"
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away:
for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you;
but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

and of righteousness, and of judgment:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Rom 3:19-20
19 Now we know that whatever the law says,
it says to those who are under the law,
so that every mouth may be silenced,
and all the world may become accountable to God.
20 Therefore by the works of the law
no flesh will be justified in His sight,
for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are
under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become
guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified
in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
2 Cor 5:10
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
that each one may receive his recompense in the body,
according to what he has done,
whether it was good or bad.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one
may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done,
whether it be good or bad.

that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,

to the obedience of Christ;
