1)Psalm 137, 1 Chronicles 4, 1 Chronicles 5, 1 Chronicles 6
Psalms 137
1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept
when we remembered Zion.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) We hung our harps
upon the poplars.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For there our captors made us sing
and our tormentors made us entertain,
saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion."
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) How shall we sing the song of the Lord
in a foreign land?
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
let my right hand forget its skill.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) If I do not remember you,
let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,
if I do not have Jerusalem
as my highest joy.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Remember, O Lord, the people of Edom
in the day of Jerusalem,
who said, "Raze it, raze it,
down to its foundations."
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) O daughter of Babylon, who is to be destroyed,
blessed is the one who rewards you
as you have done to us.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Blessed is the one who takes
and dashes your little ones against the rocks.
Psalms 137
[1] By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we
remembered Zion.
[2] We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
[3] For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and
they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs
of Zion.
[4] How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
[5] If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
[6] If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth;
if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
[7] Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who
said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
[8] O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that
rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
[9] Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the
stones.

Sons of Simeon
Jos 19:2-10
24 (Ge 46:10) The sons of Simeon were
Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul,
25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son.
26 The sons of Mishma were
Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son, and Shimei his son.
27 (Nu 2:4; 2:13) Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters,
but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family
multiply as much as the sons of Judah.
28 (Jos 19:2-3) Now they dwelt in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar Shual
29 (Jos 19:3,4) as well as in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,
31 (Jos 19:5-6) Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim.
These were their cities until the reign of David.
32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan,
five cities in all,
33 (Jos 19:8) and all the villages that were around these cities
as far as Baal.
Such are their inhabited cities, and those registered to them were
34 Meshobab, Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah;
35 Joel, and Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel;
36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah;
37 Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah,
the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.
38 These mentioned by name were leaders in their families,
and their fathers' houses increased greatly.
39 (Jos 15:58; 1Ch 4:4) They went to the entrance of Gedor,
as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks
40 (Jdg 18:7-10) There they found rich, good pasture,
and the land was wide, quiet, and peaceful;
for former inhabitants there belonged to Ham.
41 In the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, those written by name came
and attacked their tents, along with the Meunites who were found there,
and utterly destroyed them until this day. Then they dwelt there
in their place because there was pasture for their flocks there.
42 (Ge 36:8-9) Now some of them, namely five hundred men
from the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir with Pelatiah,
Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their captains.
43 (1Sa 30:17; 15:7-8) Then they struck down the rest of the Amalekites
who had escaped. So they have dwelt there until this day.
[24] The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:
[25] Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.
[26] And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zachur his son, Shimei his son.
[27] And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not
many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children
of Judah.
[28] And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual,
[29] And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,
[30] And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,
[31] And at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-birei, and at
Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.
[32] And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan,
five cities:
[33] And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto
Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.
[34] And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,
[35] And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of
Asiel,
[36] And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and
Jesimiel, and Benaiah,
[37] And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the
son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;
[38] These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the
house of their fathers increased greatly.
[39] And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the
valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.
[40] And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet,
and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.
[41] And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,
and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and
destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because
there was pasture there for their flocks.
[42] And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to
mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah,
and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.
[43] And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt
there unto this day.
1 Chronicles 5
Sons of Reuben
1 (Ge 29:32; 35:22) Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel
(for he was the firstborn, but since he defiled his father's bed,
his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel,
so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright;
2 (Mic 5:2; Mt 2:6; Ge 49:8-10 ) though Judah prevailed
over his brothers and a ruler came from him,
yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),
3 (Ge 46:9; Ex 6:14; Nu 26:5-9) the sons of Reuben the firstborn
of Israel were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi.
4 The sons of Joel were
Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,
Shimei his son,
5 Micah his son,
Reaiah his son, Baal his son,
6 (1Ch 5:26) and Beerah his son, whom
Tiglath--Pileser the king of Assyria led into exile.
He was a leader of the Reubenites.
7 (1Ch 5:1) 7His brothers according to their families
by the registration of their generations were
Jeiel, the first, and Zechariah;
8 (Nu 32:34; 32:38) Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,
who dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo and Baal Meon.
9 (Jos 22:8-9) And he dwelt toward the east as far as the entrance
to the wilderness from the Euphrates,
for their cattle were abundant in the land of Gilead.
10 Now in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites,
who fell by their hand, and they dwelt in their tents over
all the eastern plains of Gilead.
[1] Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the
firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was
given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to
be reckoned after the birthright.
[2] For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief
ruler;
but the birthright was Joseph's:)
[3] The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hannoch, and
Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
[4] The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
[5] Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
[6] Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away
captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
[7] And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their
generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
[8] And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt
in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:
[9] And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from
the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of
Gilead.
[10] And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by
their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of
Gilead.
Sons of Gad
11 (Jos 13:11; 13:24-28) The sons of Gad dwelt opposite
them in the land of Bashan as far as Salekah.
12 Joel was the first, Shapham the second,
with Janai and Shaphat in Bashan.
13 Their brothers of their father's house were
Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber, seven in all.
14 These are the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,
the sonof Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai,
the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;
15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni,
was the head of their father's house.
16 (1Ch 27:29; SS 2:1) They dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns,
and in all the outlands of Sharon to the edge of their borders.
17 (2Ki 14:16; 14:28) All of them were registered by genealogy in the days
of Jotham king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18 (Nu 1:3) The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites,
and the half-tribe of Manasseh numbered 44760 valiant men,
men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with a bow,
and who were skillful in battle, who went to war.
19 (Ge 25:15; 1Ch 1:31) They made war with the Hagrites, namely Jetur,
Naphish, and Nodab.
20 (2Ch 18:31; Ps 20:7-8) They were helped against them,
and the Hagrites and all who were with them were delivered into their hand,
for they cried to God in the battle, and He heard their prayer
because they trusted in Him.
21 They captured their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels,
two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys,
and one hundred thousand men.
22 (2Ki 15:29; 17:6) So many fell slain, because the war was of God.
And they dwelt in their place until the exile.
[11] And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan
unto Salchah:
[12] Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in
Bashan.
[13] And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and
Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.
[14] These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,
the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of
Jahdo, the son of Buz;
[15] Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their
fathers.
[16] And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the
suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.
[17] All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of
Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
[18] The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of
valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and
skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore,
that went out to the war.
[19] And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and
Nodab.
[20] And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered
into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the
battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.
[21] And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of
sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men
an hundred thousand.
[22] For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they
dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
The Half-Tribe of Manasseh
23 (Dt 3:8-9; SS 4:8) The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh also dwelt
in the land. They increased from Bashan as far as Baal Hermon and Senir,
even to Mount Hermon.
24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel,
Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of reputation,
and heads of their fathers' houses.
25 (Ex 34:15) They were unfaithful to the God of their fathers
and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land,
whom God had wiped out before them.
26 (2Ki 15:19; 17:6) So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul
the king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria,
and he led the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh
into exile and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan
to this day.
[23] And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they
increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
[24] And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and
Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty
men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.
[25] And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a
whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before
them.
[26] And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and
the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away,
even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and
brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto
this day.

The Freedom God Provides by Elisa Morgan
Deuteronomy 5:28-29, 32-33
28 (Dt 18:17) The Lord heard the sound of your words when
you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me,
"I have heard the sound of the words of this people
which they have spoken to you.
They have done well in all that they have spoken.
29 (Isa 48:18; Dt 4:40) O that there were such a heart in them
that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments,
that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
32 (Dt 17:20; 28:14) Therefore, be careful to do as the Lord your God
has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 (Jer 7:23; Dt 4:40; 10:12) You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord
your God has commanded you, so that you may live and that it may be
well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which
you shall possess.
[28] And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and
the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people,
which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have
spoken.
[29] O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and
keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with
their children for ever!
[32] Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded
you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
[33] Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded
you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may
prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
A team of landscape architects studied the effects of providing a fence around
a preschool playground. On playgrounds without fences, children tended to
gather close to the school building and their teacher and didn't stray away.
But on fenced-in playgrounds, they enjoyed the entire area. The researchers
concluded that boundaries can create a greater sense of freedom. This seems
counterintuitive to so many of us who think boundaries restrict enjoyment.
Yet fences can provide freedom!
God underlines the freedom His boundaries provide for us. In offering
the Ten Commandments to Israel, He promised that a "prosperous" life would
result from living within His divine boundaries. "Walk in obedience to all
that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper
and prolong your days in the land that you will possess" (Deuteronomy 5:33).
Here the concept of prosperity includes a life lived with good
results - a life of quality.
Jesus, who fulfilled the law with His death on the cross, proclaimed,
"If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know
the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:31-32). Indeed, God's
boundaries are for our good. "Fences" can free us to enjoy the life God
created us to experience with Him.
Reflect & Pray
In what ways do God's commands free you?
How can you better embrace the freedom such boundaries offer?
Dear God, thank You for the wise parameters You put in place for my good.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 6 Humility and Exaltation
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 (Jas 4:10; Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time.
7 (Ps 55:22; 37:5) Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
"I was so humble I was given an award for humility," the pastor quipped.
"They gave me a humility plaque - but they had to take it back when I hung it
on my office wall."
Humility is rare among 20th Century Christians. Our pride takes two
seemingly contradictory forms: Self-exaltation and self-denial. But both
focus on self, not on God.
Francois Fenelon, 17th century French archbishop, From his
"Letters of Spiritual Counsel" wrote:
"He who so completely forget himself that he never thinks of self ... is
truly humble. If we had the light to discern it, we should see clearly that
when we think we are humbling ourselves we are exalting ourselves;
when we think we are annihilating ourselves we are seeking out own life."
True humility, as Fenelon implies, means recognising who we are in the light
of who God is. Excess of self-importance and low self-esteem are both
self-centered perspectives; true humility is God-centered.
When we humble ourselves, we become intensely aware of God and less
aware of ourselves. We can focus on his face and get our eyes off our own
image. We can stop worrying about how others perceive us. Such humbling
is difficult - as one 70-year-old saint joked, "It ain't the heat that gets
you, it's the humility." But when we submit to him and fell the weight of the
"Mighty hand of God" upon us, we can forget ourselves, abandon
ourselves to his presence, and cast our cares upon him.
Application
a) What form does my pride usually take - self-exaltation or self-degradation?
b) Why must I humble myself in order for the Lord to lift me up?
c) How can today's verse encourage me when times are tough?
4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland
Deut 8:18
18 But you must remember the Lord your God,
for it is He who gives you the ability to get wealth,
so that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers,
as it is today.
18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth
thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant
which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
that I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am greatly afflicted;
revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept the freewill offerings of my praise, O Lord,
and teach me Your judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand,
yet I do not forget Your law.
110 The wicked have laid a trap for me,
yet I do not depart from Your precepts.
111 Your testimonies are my inheritance forever,
for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes always,
even unto the end.
Nun
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it,
That I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much:
Quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
And teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand:
Yet do I not forget thy law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me:
Yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever:
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes
Alway, even unto the end.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Nova Scotia
Total population 942700
Muslim population (est.) 14629
With 6 of the Nova Scotia's 10 universities located in Halifax, there is
a high concentration of Muslin international students in the area,
a harvest field in itself.
Pray for Nova Scotia and her Muslim populations
- in and around Halifax and other cities
- on university campuses
- for new workers among Muslims
- for pastors and churches to be bold in vision, passion and outreach
to Muslims in their areas.
- for Muslims who are searching for a better way to find a Christian friend
to share Jesus with and disciple them
- for Muslim-background believers to be both wise and bold in sharing their
new faith in Jesus with other Muslims
Halifax is the centre of Muslim activity for the Province of Nova Scotia
with at least 10 Islamic centres (mosques) and musallas
(prayer locations, especially for Friday prayer). And there are other mosques
in Chebucto, Kearney Lake, Dartmouth, Bedford and Truro.
Though the original community of Muslims was primarily composed of
newcomers from Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, continued immigration
has further diversified this community. Anf it is said thay Arabic
is the second most spoken language in Halifax.
while conservative estimates place the number of Muslims at almost 15000
in 2014, the Imama of a primary Halifax mosque estimates their population
somewhere between 25000 to 30000.
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, ...)
