11th Day of the Month



a) Pray for God's name to be glorified in your life, home, neighbourhood,

city or community, and in Canada.



(



Ps 86:12

b) Pray for the province of New Brunswick



I) Pray for the leaders of New Brunswick, that God's Spirit would influence

then to act justly, serve with integrity and honour high moral standards.

( 1 Tim 2:1 - 4 1 Therefore I exhort first of all that you make supplications,

prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone,

2 (Ezr 6:10) for kings and for all who are in authority,

that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty,

3(1Ti 1:1; Lk 1:47) for this is good and acceptable in the sight of

God our Savior, 4 (Eze 18:23; 18:32)who desires all men to be saved

and to come to the knowledge of the truth.



II) Pray for the churches of the province,

that they would be lighthouses beaming forth

the illuminating truth of God's Word.



III) Pray that the Lord would use the Finding

the Hope Campaign and booklet to turn many hearts to Jesus



Eight) Day 17 - God’s work may exceed our imagination.



Scripture: Habakkuk 1:5 NLT



5 (Isa 29:14; Eze 12:22-28) Look among the nations, and watch - wonder and be

amazed! For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe,

though it were told you.





[5] Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I

will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told

you.



---



God's new work often begins with an announcement - and a gap ... A declaration

of what He is doing, and a gap between what we can imagine and what He intends

to accomplish.



When God speaks through Habakkuk, He makes it clear: what's coming will

stretch faith. It will exceed expectations. And it won't fit neatly inside

existing categories. That’s exciting and unsettling. We love the idea of God

doing something new - until it requires movement before full understanding.



This is where faith becomes obedience.



God rarely reveals the whole plan. He reveals the next step. Obedience isn't

about certainty - it's about trust. It’s choosing to move forward when clarity

is partial but God's character is certain. God's people don't step into new

seasons by having all the answers; they step in by saying yes.



Here's the tension: God's work may exceed our imagination, but it still

requires participation. Faith isn't passive. It responds. It risks. It acts.

Often, the greatest barrier to God's new work isn't opposition - it's

hesitation.



Fasting and prayer sharpen this moment. They quiet competing voices and expose

delayed obedience. Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's refusing to let

fear decide. When God says now, delay becomes disobedience disguised

as wisdom.



You don't need the full picture.

You need to take the next faithful step.



---



Listening Prayer:



"Holy Spirit ...



A. What specific step of obedience are You asking me to take right now

that I've been delaying or rationalising?"



B. What fear, assumption, or need for control do I need to release

to move forward in trust and courage?"

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 4 - Entire Forgiveness

Acts 13:38



38 (Lk 24:47; Ac 2:38) "Therefore, brothers, let it be known

to you that through this Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,"



38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren,

that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:



At age 17 Mary, a cross-country runner, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

She went on to college, faced with the prospect of gradual physical decline

and, ultimately, life in a wheelchair. "The worst part," Mary admitted "is

not the pain or the inability to do what I once did. The worst part is

the hopelessness, the emotional struggle. There is no cure, no real

treatment - only insurance."

In our fallen world, there are many incurable circumstances we have to endure.

But the guilt of our sin is not one of them. Yet despite the declaration

of the Scripture that Jesus' sacrificial death paid the price for our sins,

many of us carry a load of guilt - as if we ourselves had tp pay the price.

Paul, a man who know the grace of God and the depth of his own sin,

emphasises the source and the completeness of our forgiveness.

Through Jesus - not through my good behaviour, not through my determination to

change, not through my reputation, my family's faith, or my religious duties.

Forgiveness of sins come through Christ alone, a gift we do not deserve,

a gift which places all of us on equal ground at the foot of the cross.

To acknowledge our sin without knowing the source of forgiveness only

results in hopelessness and despair - we see ourselves, yet we are powerless

to change the sin we see. But when we realise that Christ has provided

complete forgiveness of sin, we can face our sin honestly, knowing

the freedom of confession and the restoration of forgiveness.



Application



a) In what ways have I changed myself, to "turn over a new leaf",

to "make myself worthy" of God's love?



b) How can Acts 13:38 help me remember the source of forgiveness?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Joshua 1:8



8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.

Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all

that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,

and you will be wise.



8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt

meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according

to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,

and then thou shalt have good success.



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



When you are discouraged or Depressed



Matthew 11:25-30



25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things

from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.

26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.

27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me

by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.

And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom

the Son will reveal Him.

28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily

burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.

For I am meek and lowly in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).

30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

because He has dealt bountifully with me.



The Hidden Revelation

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things

from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man

knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,

save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek

and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



Adding further





Pray for Tajikistan



Mari lives high up in the mountains in a remote region of Tajikistan.

At the beginning of summer, the women go to prepare the summer pasture

with the men arriving a week later with cows, sheep and goats. Only a

handful of shepherds stay with the herds and flocks. The rest return

to the village, and they see and hear nothing of the shepherds until

harvest time.



For the past few summers, a visitor has come to Mari's village. Since

she is the head of the community, he always comes to her house first.

"Last summer he offered me a book," Mari says. "This man is always

kind and wants to help my village, so I accepted his gift. I had

completed my schooling in the local school, so I was excited to read

this book."



Mari began to read the book right away, and to her surprise, found

that it was written in a way that was easy to understand. She read it

many times and read it to her family. They wanted to hear the stories

many times. "My heart warmed to the central character in all these

stories, a man called Jesus. I was growing to love him."



The following summer the traveler returned once again. Mari welcomed

him into her home and told him, "I love Jesus."

He looked surprised. "How do you know him?" he asked.



"Do you remember the book you gave me last year, the one called

Khushkhabar {Good News}, that told the story of Jesus? I've read it

many times and to my family as well. We believe in Jesus. Every night

I read this book aloud and we are telling everyone in the village

about Jesus."



How to Pray



Pray that the Gospel would reach the remote areas of Tajikistan.

Ask the Lord for His protection and strength for believers in a

challenging spiritual climate.

* Pray that these believers would shine like a light to others and

that their ministry would bear fruit.



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, ...) .

Deuteronomy 4



[15] Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of

similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst

of the fire:

[16] Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude

of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

[17] The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any

winged fowl that flieth in the air,

[18] The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of

any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

[19] And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the

sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be

driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided

unto all nations under the whole heaven.

[20] But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron

furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye

are this day.

[21] Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I

should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land,

which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

[22] But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go

over, and possess that good land.

[23] Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your

God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of

any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

[24] For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

[25] When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall

have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a

graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight

of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

[26] I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall

soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess

it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

[27] And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left

few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

[28] And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone,

which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

[29] But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find

him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

[30] When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,

even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be

obedient unto his voice;

[31] (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,

neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware

unto them.

[32] For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since

the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of

heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great

thing is, or hath been heard like it?

[33] Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the

fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

[34] Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of

another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by

a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according

to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

[35] Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is

God; there is none else beside him.

[36] Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct

thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his

words out of the midst of the fire.

[37] And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after

them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

[38] To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou

art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is

this day.

[39] Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD

he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

[40] Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I

command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children

after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the

LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.



Cities of Refuge

Nu 35:6-34; Dt 19:1-14; Jos 20:1-9



41 (Nu 35:6) Then Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan,

toward the east,

42 that the manslayer might flee there, that is, anyone who killed

his neighbor unintentionally without hating him in time past

could flee to one of these cities and live:

43 (Jos 20:8) Bezer in the wilderness in the plateau of the Reubenites,

and Ramoth in Gilead of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan of the Manassites.



[41] Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the

sunrising;

[42] That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour

unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of

these cities he might live:

[43] Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the

Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of

the Manassites.



Introduction to the Law



44 This is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.

45 These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances

which Moses spoke to the children of Israel, after they came out of Egypt,

46 (Dt 3:29) on this side of the Jordan, in the valley over against

Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived

at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck down,

after they had come out of Egypt.

47 They possessed his land, and the land of Og, king of Bashan,

the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan toward the east,

48 (Dt 3:9; 2:36; 3:12) from Aroer, which is by the edge of the River Arnon,

even as far as Mount Sion (that is, Hermon),

49 (Dt 3:17) with all the Arabah across the Jordan to the east,

even to the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah.



[44] And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

[45] These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which

Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

[46] On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land

of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the

children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:

[47] And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two

kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

[48] From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount

Sion, which is Hermon,

[49] And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of

the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.



2) Our Daily Bread for 11 March 2026 titled Rebellion and Return

by Mike Wittner



Jeremiah 3:11-17



11 (Eze 16:51-52; 23:11) The Lord said to me: Backsliding Israel has proved

herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.

12 (Ps 86:15; Eze 33:11) Go and proclaim these words toward the north,

and say: Return, backsliding Israel, says the Lord,

and I will not cause My anger to fall on you.

For I am merciful, says the Lord,

and I will not keep anger forever.

13 (Dt 12:2; 30:1-3) Only acknowledge your iniquity,

that you have transgressed against the Lord your God

and have scattered your ways to the strangers

under every green tree,

and you have not obeyed My voice,

says the Lord.

14 (Isa 54:5; Jer 31:32) Return, O backsliding sons, says the Lord.

For I am married to you. And I will take you, one from a city

and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.

15 (Ac 20:28; Jer 23:4) And I will give you shepherds according to My heart,

who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

16 (Isa 65:17) It shall come to pass when you are multiplied

and increased in the land in those days, says the Lord, they will say no more,

"The ark of the covenant of the Lord."

And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it,

nor will they call for it, nor will it be made any more.

17 (Jer 11:8; 17:12) At that time they will call Jerusalem,

the Throne of the Lord, and all the nations will be gathered to it,

to Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord; nor will they walk any more

after the stubbornness of their evil hearts.



[11] And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified

herself more than treacherous Judah.

[12] Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou

backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall

upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for

ever.

[13] Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against

the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every

green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.

[14] Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto

you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will

bring you to Zion:

[15] And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed

you with knowledge and understanding.

[16] And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the

land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the

covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they

remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any

more.

[17] At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all

the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to

Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their

evil heart.



The Wild One is a 1953 movie starring Marlon Brando as Johnny Strabler, a

troubled, brooding leader of a motorcycle gang. In one scene, a young woman

notices a gang member's jacket with the initials, B.R.M.C. When she learns

that the R stands for "rebels," she laughs and touches the arm of Brando as he

idly pats a drum. "Hey, Johnny. What are you rebelling against?" He replies,

"What do you got?"



What an apt description of our problem! We're born with a drive to assert

ourselves. We want to be in charge, preferably by getting our way. If that

doesn't work, we'll assert ourselves by dragging our feet.

The rebellion is the point.



Why did Israel foolishly worship idols of "stone and wood" (Jeremiah 3:9)?

And why did Israel's "unfaithful sister Judah" only pretend to return

to God (v. 10)? Because that's how they expressed their

independence - "the stubbornness of their evil hearts" (v. 17).

The rebellion was the point.



But God's love is stronger. Jesus died for rebels and leaves the door open

for their return. " 'Return, faithless Israel,' declares the Lord, 'I will

frown on you no longer, for I am faithful . . . . Only acknowledge your

guilt - you have rebelled against the Lord your God' " (vv. 12-13).



We may be born rebels, but we can return. Let's run home to our Father,

where we find His forgiveness, love, and help.



Reflect & Pray



When do you take charge in foolish or bad ways?

How have you been ignoring God, and how might you return to Him?



Dear Father, thank You for Your forgiveness. I'm coming home to You.

DEUTERONOMY 4



Moses Commands Obedience



1 (Dt 8:1; Eze 20:11) Now therefore, listen, O Israel, to the statutes

and to the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that you may live;

and go in and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers,

is giving you.

2 (Dt 12:32; Jos 1:7) You shall not add to the word which I am commanding

you, nor shall you take anything from it, so that you may keep

the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3 (Nu 25:1-9) Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at Baal Peor; for the

Lord your God has destroyed from among you all the men

who followed Baal of Peor.

4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are alive to this day,

every one of you.

5 See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord

my God commanded me, that you should do so in the land

where you are entering to possess it.

6 (Job 28:28; Pr 1:7) Therefore, keep and do them, for this is your wisdom

and your understanding in the sight of the nations which shall hear

all these statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise

and understanding people."

7 (2Sa 7:23; Ps 46:1) For what nation is there so great, who has a god

so near to it as the Lord our God is in all things whenever we call on Him?

8 And what nation is there so great that has statutes and judgments

so righteous as all this law, which I am setting before you today?

9 (Ge 18:19; Dt 4:23) Only give heed to yourself and keep your

soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have

seen and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life;

but teach them to your sons, and your grandsons.

10 (Ex 19:9; 19:16) Especially concerning the day you stood

before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord said to me,

"Gather the people together to Me, so that I will let them hear

My words so that they may learn to fear Me all the days

they shall live on the earth, and so that they may teach their children."

11 (Dt 5:23) Then you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain,

and the mountain burned with fire up to the midst of heaven,

with darkness, a cloud, a thick cloud.

12 (Ex 20:22; Dt 5:4) Then the Lord spoke to you out of the midst

of the fire. You heard the sound of the words but saw no form

-only a voice was heard.

13 (Ex 34:28; 24:12; 31:18) He declared to you His covenant,

which He commanded you to perform, even the Ten Commandments,

and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

14 The Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments,

so that you might do them in the land which you are crossing over to possess.



[1] Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the

judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in

and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

[2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye

diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your

God which I command you.

[3] Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the

men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among

you.

[4] But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you

this day.

[5] Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my

God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess

it.

[6] Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your

understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these

statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding

people.

[7] For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as

the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

[8] And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so

righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

[9] Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou

forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy

heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

[10] Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb,

when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make

them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they

shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

[11] And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned

with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick

darkness.

[12] And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the

voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

[13] And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to

perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

[14] And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and

judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess

it.



Idolatry Forbidden



15 (Jos 23:11; Isa 40:18) Give good care to yourselves, for you saw no form

on the day that the Lord spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire,

16 (Ex 20:4-5; 32:7) lest you corrupt yourselves and make a graven image

for yourselves in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

17 (Ro 1:23) the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness

of any winged fowl that flies in the air,

18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness

of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth.

19 (Dt 17:3; 2Ki 17:16) And beware, lest you lift up your eyes to heaven,

and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host

of heaven, you are led astray and worship them, and serve them,

that which the Lord your God has allotted to all nations

under the whole heaven.

20 (1Ki 8:51; Jer 11:4) But the Lord has taken you

and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt,

to be to Him a people of inheritance, as you are today.

21 (Dt 1:37; Nu 20:12) Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me because

of you and swore that I should not cross over the Jordan, and that I would

not go into that good land which the Lord your God is giving you

for an inheritance.

22 (Dt 3:25; 3:27) So I must die in this land. I shall not cross over

the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.

23 (Dt 4:9) Watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the covenant

of the Lord your God, which He made with you, and make yourself

a graven image or the likeness of anything as the Lord your God has

forbidden you.

24 (Ex 24:17; Dt 9:3) For the Lord your God is a consuming fire.

He is a jealous God.

25 (Dt 4:16) When you produce children and grandchildren

and you have remained a long time in the land, and you corrupt

yourselves and make a graven image, or the likeness of anything,

and do evil in the sight of the Lord your God, to provoke Him to anger,

26 (Isa 1:2; Mic 6:2) I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,

that you will surely and suddenly perish from off the land that you

are going across the Jordan to possess.

You will not prolong your days on it, but shall be completely destroyed.

27 (Lev 26:33) The Lord shall scatter you among the peoples,

and you shall be left few in number among the nations

where the Lord shall lead you.

28 (Dt 28:36; 28:64) There you will serve gods, the work of men's hands,

wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

29 (2Ch 15:4; Dt 30:1-3) But if from there you will seek the Lord your God,

you will find Him, if you seek Him with all your heart

and with all your soul.

30 (Dt 31:29; Jer 23:20) When you are in distress and all these things come

upon you, even in the latter days, if you turn to the Lord your God

and shall be obedient to His voice

31 (2Ch 30:9; Ne 9:31) (for the Lord your God is a merciful God),

He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant

of your fathers which He swore to them.

32 (Job 8:8; Mt 24:31) Indeed, ask about the days that are past,

which were before you, since the day that God created man

Or Adam. on the earth, and ask from one end of heavens to the other,

whether there has ever been any such thing as this great thing,

or has anything like it ever been heard?

33 (Ex 24:11; 33:20) Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking

out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and lived?

34 (Dt 26:8; Ex 6:6) Or has God ever tried to take for Himself a nation

from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders,

and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched-out arm,

and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for

you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 (1Sa 2:2; Isa 45:5) To you it was shown so that you might know

that the Lord, He is God. There is no one else besides Him.

36 (Ex 19:9; 19:19) Out of heaven He let you hear His voice

so that He might instruct you, and on earth He showed you

His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

37 (Dt 10:15; Ex 13:3) Because He loved your fathers, therefore

He chose their descendants after them and personally brought

you out of Egypt with His mighty power

38 (Dt 7:1; Ex 23:27-28) to drive out nations from before you greater

and mightier than you are, to bring you in, to give you their land

for an inheritance, as it is today.

39 (Jos 2:11; Dt 4:35) Know therefore today, and consider it in your heart,

that the Lord, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below.

There is no other.

40 (Lev 22:31; Dt 5:16) Therefore, you shall keep His statutes

and His commandments which I command you this day,

so that it may go well with you and with your children after you,

and so that you may prolong your days in the land,

which the Lord your God gives you, forever.

DEUTERONOMY 3



King Og Defeated



1 (Nu 21:33-35; Dt 1:4) Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan,

and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us, he and all his people,

to battle at Edrei.

2 (Nu 21:23-25) Then the Lord said to me, "Do not fear him, for I will

deliver him and all his people and his land into your hand; and you

shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived

at Heshbon."

3 (Nu 21:35) So the Lord, our God, delivered Og, the king of Bashan,

with all his people, into our hands also, and we struck him down until

there was no survivor remaining.

4 (1Ki 4:13) We took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which

we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob,

the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars,

besides a great many rural towns.

6 (Dt 2:34; 2:24; Ps 135:10-12) We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon,

king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.

7 (Dt 2:35) But we took all the livestock and the spoil of the cities

as plunder for ourselves.

8 (Jos 12:2-6; 13:9-12) So at that time we took from the hand

of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was across the Jordan,

from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon

9 (1Ch 5:23; Ps 29:6) (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion,

and the Amorites call it Senir),

10 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan,

as far as Salekah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 (Ge 14:5; 2Sa 12:26) For only Og, king of Bashan, remained

of the remnant of the giants.

(Notably, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron.

Is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon?

It is nine cubits long and four cubits wide,

{About 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, or 4 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.}

according to the cubit of a man.)



[1] Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan

came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

[2] And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all

his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou

didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.

[3] So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of

Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him

remaining.

[4] And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we

took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom

of Og in Bashan.

[5] All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside

unwalled towns a great many.

[6] And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon,

utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

[7] But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to

ourselves.

[8] And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the

Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto

mount Hermon;

[9] (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it

Shenir;)

[10] All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto

Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

[11] For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold,

his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of

Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of

it, after the cubit of a man.



Division of the Land



12 (Dt 2:36; Nu 32:32-38) This is the land which we possessed at that time

from Aroer, which is by the River Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead

and its cities I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

13 (Nu 32:39-42) The rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og,

I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob,

with all Bashan, was called the land of giants.

14 (Nu 32:41; Jos 13:13; 2Sa 3:3) Jair, the son of Manasseh,

took all the region of Argob, that is, Bashan, as far as the border

of the Geshurites and the Maakathites, and called the villages

after his own name, Havvoth Jair, as it is to this day.)

15 (Nu 32:39-40) I gave Gilead to Makir.

16 (Nu 21:24; Dt 2:37) To the Reubenites and to the Gadites

I gave the territory from Gilead even as far as the stream

bed of the River Arnon, half the valley as the border to the River Jabbok,

which is the border of the Ammonites;

17 (Jos 12:3; Ge 14:3; Jos 3:16) the plain also,

with the Jordan as the border, from Kinnereth as far as the east side

of the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.

18 (Jos 4:12-13) Then I commanded you at that time, saying,

"The Lord your God has given you this land to possess it.

All you men of valor shall pass over armed before your brothers,

the children of Israel.

19 But your wives and your little ones, and your livestock

(for I know that you have much livestock)

shall remain in your cities which I have given you

20 (Jos 22:4) until the Lord has given rest to your brothers,

as well as to you, and until they also possess the land which

the Lord your God has given them beyond the Jordan.

Then each of you shall return to his possession which I have given you."



[12] And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by

the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto

the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

[13] And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I

unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan,

which was called the land of giants.

[14] Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts

of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name,

Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day.

[15] And I gave Gilead unto Machir.

[16] And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even

unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river

Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

[17] The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even

unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.

[18] And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given

you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren

the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.

[19] But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that

ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;

[20] Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you,

and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them

beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which

I have given you.



Moses Forbidden to Cross the Jordan



21 I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, "Your eyes have seen all that

the Lord your God has done to these two kings. So shall the Lord do

to all the kingdoms where you pass.

22 (Ex 14:14; Dt 20:4) Do not fear them, for the Lord your God,

He shall fight for you."

23 I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying,

24 (Ex 15:11; Dt 11:2) "O Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant

Your greatness, and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven

or in earth that can do according to Your works and according to Your might?

25 (Ex 3:8) Let me, I pray, go over and see the good land that is beyond

the Jordan, that good hill country, and Lebanon."

26 (Dt 1:37; 31:2) But the Lord was angry with me because of you

and would not listen to me, and the Lord said to me, "Enough of that!

Speak to Me no more of this matter.

27 (Nu 27:12) Get up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes to the west

and north and south and east, and see it with your eyes, for you shall not

cross over this Jordan.

28 (Dt 31:3; 1:38) But charge Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him,

for he shall cross over before this people, and he shall cause them

to inherit the land which you will see."

29 (Dt 4:46; 34:6) So we remained in the valley over against Beth Peor.



[21] And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all

that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do

unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

[22] Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.

[23] And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,

[24] O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy

mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do

according to thy works, and according to thy might?

[25] I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond

Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

[26] But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me:

and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of

this matter.

[27] Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward,

and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes:

for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

[28] But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall

go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land

which thou shalt see.

[29] So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.

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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



Adding further



Pray for the Millet of Bulgaria



If you ask the Turkish-speaking Millet of Bulgaria, they will tell you

they don't know where they came from. The `Ottoman' Turks within

Bulgaria say they are not Turkish; the Roma of Bulgaria insist they

are not Roma. But there are more than 300,000 of this Muslim people

group living in Bulgaria.



The Millet experience severe marginalization, often living in

segregated neighborhoods. But not only does God know them; many Millet

now have a living relationship with God.



In the late 1980s and lasting through the mid-1990s, an awakening

broke out amongst the Millet, which God confirmed by many signs and

wonders. Thousands left Islam to follow Jesus and more than a hundred

churches were started.



Rahim was a city bus driver whose wife became very ill. There was no

adequate medicine or care for a Millet living in squalor so eventually

she died. The neighbourhood women came and began their wailing. The

noise and crying became unbearable for Rahim so he went outside,

despairing of how he would care for his children. After two hours of

mental agitation, he cried out the prayer that desperate Muslims often

direct to Jesus: "Ey Isa! Ey Isa!"



Rahim returned home a short time later and instead of wailing, there

was excited stirring: his wife was sitting upright, very much alive!

As Rahim gave glory to Jesus, his entire street believed. Many came

asking for prayer and they were often healed as well. A church was

started of people with no Biblical knowledge other than belief in a

Jesus who heals and a God who answers prayer.

See also Pray for Tunisia



How to Pray



Pray for more Millet people in Bulgaria to come to know Jesus.

Pray for the Millet believers in diaspora who now number more than

those still in Bulgaria. Ask God to use their passion for Jesus to

inspire others.

Pray for theological training opportunities for Millet pastors,

many of whom have had little education.

Pray that the youth in believing Millet families would make their

own personal commitments to Jesus.



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, ...) .

10th Day of the Month



a) Pray for Canadians from Coast to Coast to Coast, that the reality of

Jesus's sacrifice and love will touch them personally.



(

John 3:16



16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9-10; Jn 1:18)

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."

whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.



)



b) Pray for students, that the Lord will grant them protection of body,

soul, mind and spirit and fill them with godly desires and true hope.



Eight) Day 16 - God's new work often requires expanded faith.



Scripture: Isaiah 54:2–3





2 (Isa 49:19-20; Ex 35:18) Enlarge the place of your tent,

and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations;

spare not,

lengthen your cords,

and strengthen your stakes.

3 (Isa 43:5-6) For you shall spread out to the right hand and to the left,

and your descendants shall inherit the nations

and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.



[2] Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains

of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy

stakes;

[3] For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy

seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.



---



The promise in Isaiah 54:2-3 came to Israel post-exile, symbolising

restoration and expansion after barrenness. God invites His people to prepare

for abundance, not in complacency, but in active faith.



This applies to money and finance as a call to faithful expansion under God's

sovereignty. Financially, "enlarging your tent" means stepping out in

obedience to grow resources - starting a business, saving diligently,

or investing wisely - while trusting God's provision (Philippians 4:19). We

often "hold back" due to fear of failure or scarcity mindset, but Scripture

urges boldness: strengthen stakes through education, debt reduction,

and ethical practices (Proverbs 21:5). Spreading "to the right and left"

echoes God's blessing on Abraham (Genesis 22:17), reminding us that wealth is

for generational impact, dispossessing "desolate cities" through gospel

advancement and poverty alleviation.



We emphasise stewardship: money isn't ours, but God's (Psalm 24:1). Like the

parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), we're called to multiply what He's

given, not bury it. Expansion isn't selfish ambition, but preparing for God's

outpouring - perhaps increased income for ministry or family legacy.



If finances feel confined, hear God's command: enlarge! Pray for vision, act

prudently, and anchor in faith. As you stretch, He'll fill the space with His

glory.

Deuteronomy 2





[24] Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I

have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land:

begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

[25] This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee

upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of

thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

[26] And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king

of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

[27] Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will

neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.

[28] Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water

for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;

[29] (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which

dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land

which the LORD our God giveth us.

[30] But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD

thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might

deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

[31] And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his

land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

[32] Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at

Jahaz.

[33] And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his

sons, and all his people.

[34] And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men,

and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:

[35] Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the

cities which we took.

[36] From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the

city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too

strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:

[37] Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto

any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor

unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.



(The Lord is always just)

The Hope Jesus Brings by Dave Branon



1 Thessalonians 4:13-18



The Lord's Coming



13 (Eph 2:12; Lev 19:28) But I would not have you ignorant, brothers,

concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others

who have no hope.

14 (1Th 4:13; Rev 1:18) For if we believe that Jesus died and arose again,

so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

15 (1Ki 20:35) For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,

that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord

will not precede those who are asleep.

16 (1Co 15:23; Jude 1:9) For the Lord Himself will descend

from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,

and with the trumpet call of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 (Jn 12:26; Ac 1:9) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up

together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we

shall be forever with the Lord.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.



[13] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them

which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

[14] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also

which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

[15] For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are

alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which

are asleep.

[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the

voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ

shall rise first:

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with

them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be

with the Lord.

[18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.



It began with an email a grieving father sent to me. He had lost his daughter

Alyssa - a college junior - in a car accident, and he needed to hear from

someone who understood his wrenching pain.



Nearly three hundred emails and four years later, Craig and I were finally

able to meet in person. His job had taken him to a nearby city, so on a Sunday

we shared a church service, lunch, and memories of our daughters: Melissa

and Alyssa - two girls who'd made other people happy, enjoyed volleyball,

loved Jesus, and innocently lost their lives in car accidents.



What was the essence of our conversation that day? We discussed our sadness.

And we cried. But mostly we spoke of hope. True, authentic hope based on God's

promises. "We do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death,

so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope," the

apostle Paul explained. "For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,

and . . . God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him"

(1 Thessalonians 4:13-14). For the believer, beyond the grave

is life - life eternal.



Craig and I ended the day by praying and thanking God that our daughters

are secure in His loving arms. The shared love of Jesus binds hearts

and gives hope in otherwise hopeless situations.



Reflect & Pray



What loss weighs heavy on your heart? Who can you talk with about it?

How can your hope in Jesus help you face this difficulty?



Loving God, thank You for putting others in my life who

understand my pain and for providing true, authentic hope.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 3 - The Remedy



Acts 4:12



12 (Mt 1:21; Jn 3:36) "There is no salvation in any other,

for there is no other name under heaven given among men

by which we must be saved."



12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name

under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.



"You have cancer", the doctor told his patient. "We need to operate

- as soon as possible. It's the only remedy." The patient, not wanting

to undergo surgery unless it was absolutely necessary, sought out a second

opinion, then a third. When the third round of testing came up with the same

results, she returned to the doctor and submitted herself to the treatment.

Often the remedy for the problems in our lives seems worst than the problems

themselves. We don't want to endure the pain of self-examination, of honest

confrontation with our sin and selfishness. We'd rather live in "blissful

ignorance" than face up to ourselves.

But the Bible tells us there is only one remedy for sin: casting ourselves

upon the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ. Submitting ourselves to God's

"treatment" for sin is not an easy matter or a simple decision. We have to

give up on ourselves, on our own striving for self-salvation. We have to come

to the agonising realisation of our sin, the depths to which we have fallen.

Acknowledging sin is not a duty simply for "bad" people who have lived in

rebellion against God. "Good" people - Sunday-school kids, moral parents,

and sweet little grandmothers - may have more difficulty coming to Christ

than swindlers and prostitutes, precisely because their sin is not as

visible - sometimes it is even applauded by church and society.

"Good" or "bad", we all have the same problem: sin. And, because

of the Lord's grace, we all have the same remedy: salvation through Christ.

As we look to him, not to others, and see ourselves in light of his holiness,

we can glimpse the seriousness of our own resistance to him and call upon

his name.



Application



a) What other "remedies" have I tried to use in treating my sin?



b) Why is Jesus Christ the only source of salvation?



c) How can this verse help me to see the "salvation"

of Christ in the daily struggles of life?

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



When you are Saddened by Loss



John 14:1 - 7



1 "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me.

2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

I am going to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again

and receive you to Myself,

that where I am, you may be also.

4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."

5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know

where You are going. How can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.

From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."



1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,

I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,

and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;

and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:

and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



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.

Deuteronomy 1



[26] Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the

commandment of the LORD your God:

[27] And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he

hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand

of the Amorites, to destroy us.

[28] Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart,

saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and

walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims

there.

[29] Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.

[30] The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you,

according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

[31] And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God

bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye

came into this place.

[32] Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

[33] Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your

tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a

cloud by day.

[34] And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware,

saying,

[35] Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see

that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,

[36] Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I

give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he

hath wholly followed the LORD.

[37] Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt

not go in thither.

[38] But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in

thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

[39] Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your

children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they

shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess

it.

[40] But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by

the way of the Red sea.

[41] Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we

will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.

And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go

up into the hill.

[42] And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for

I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.

[43] So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the

commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.

[44] And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you,

and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.

[45] And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not

hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

[46] So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode

there.



DEUTERONOMY 2



The Wilderness Years



1 (Nu 21:4; 14:25) Then we turned, and set out toward the wilderness

by the way of the Red Sea, as the Lord spoke to me, and we circled

Mount Seir for many days.

2 Then the Lord spoke to me, saying,

3 (Dt 1:6) "You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north.

4 (Nu 20:14-21; Ex 15:15) Command the people, saying: You are to pass

through the territory of your brothers the children of Esau, who dwell

in Seir, and they shall be afraid of you. So carefully watch yourselves.

5 (Ge 36:8; Jos 24:4) Do not provoke them, for I will not give you any

of their land, no, not so much as a footprint, because I have given

Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.

6 You may buy food from them with money so that you may eat,

and you may also buy water from them with money so that you may drink.

7 (Dt 8:2-4; Job 23:10) "For the Lord your God has blessed you in all

the works of your hands. He knows your wanderings through this

great wilderness. These forty years the Lord your God has been with you.

You have lacked nothing."

8 (1Ki 9:26; Jdg 11:18) So we passed by our brothers, the children of Esau,

who lived in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath and from

Ezion Geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the Wilderness of Moab.

9 (Ge 19:36-37; Nu 21:15) The Lord said to me, "Do not harass the Moabites,

nor contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land

for a possession, because I have given Ar

to the children of Lot as a possession."

10 (Ge 14:5) (The Emites lived there in times past, a people as great

and as many and as tall as the Anakites.

11 These people, as well as the Anakites, also were regarded as giants,

(About 14 feet long and 6 feet wide, or 4 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.)

but the Moabites call them Emites.

12 (Dt 2:22; Ge 14:6) The Horites also formerly lived in Seir,

but the children of Esau dispossessed and destroyed them,

and settled there in their place, just as Israel did to the land

of its possession, which the Lord gave to them.)

13 (Nu 21:12) "Cross over the Zered Valley." So we went over the Zered Valley.

14 (Dt 1:34-35; Nu 13:26) Now the length of time it took for us to come to

Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the brook Zered was 38 years,

until all the generation of the men of war perished from among

the army, just as the Lord swore to them.

15 (Ps 106:26) For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them,

to destroy them from among their midst, until they were gone.

16 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were gone

and dead from among the people,

17 then the Lord spoke to me, saying,

18 "Today, you are to pass over through Ar, the border of Moab.

19 (Dt 2:9) When you come close to the Ammonites,

do not harass them or provoke them,

for I will not give you any of the land of the Ammonites

as a possession, because I have given it

to the children of Lot for a possession."

20 (Ge 14:5) (That also is considered the land of giants.

Giants formerly lived there, but the Ammonites

call them Zamzummites.

21 They were a great people, as numerous and tall as the Anakites.

But the Lord destroyed them before the Ammonites.

Then they dispossessed them and lived in their place,

22 (Ge 36:8; 14:6) just as He had done for the children

of Esau, who lived in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites

from before them, and they dispossessed them,

and lived in their place even to this day.

23 (Ge 10:14; Jos 13:3) And the Avvites, who lived in villages

as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites, who came out of Caphtor,

destroyed them, and lived in their place.)



[1] Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of

the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many

days.

[2] And the LORD spake unto me, saying,

[3] Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.

[4] And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of

your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be

afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:

[5] Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so

much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a

possession.

[6] Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also

buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

[7] For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he

knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the

LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

[8] And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which

dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from

Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

[9] And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend

with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a

possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a

possession.

[10] The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and

tall, as the Anakims;

[11] Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call

them Emims.

[12] The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau

succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in

their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD

gave unto them.

[13] Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over

the brook Zered.

[14] And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we were come

over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation

of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware

unto them.

[15] For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from

among the host, until they were consumed.

[16] So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from

among the people,

[17] That the LORD spake unto me, saying,

[18] Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

[19] And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress

them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the

children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children

of Lot for a possession.

[20] (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old

time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

[21] A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD

destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their

stead:

[22] As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he

destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in

their stead even unto this day:

[23] And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims,

which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)



King Sihon Defeated



24 "Arise, set out, and cross the River Arnon.

See, I have given Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon,

and his land into your hand. Begin to possess it

and contend with him in battle.

25 (Ex 15:14-16; Dt 11:25) This day I will begin to put

the dread of you and the fear of you on the nations

that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear

the report of you, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of you."

26 (Jos 13:18) I sent messengers out of the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon,

king of Heshbon, with words of peace, saying,

27 (Jdg 11:19) "Let me pass through your land. I will only go

on the main road. I will not turn aside to the right or the left.

28 (Nu 20:19) You shall sell me food for money so that I may eat,

and give me water for money so that I may drink,

only allow me to pass through on foot,

29 (Nu 20:18; Dt 23:3-4) just as the children of Esau who dwell in Seir

and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I pass over

the Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us."

30 (Ex 4:21; Nu 21:23) But Sihon, king of Heshbon,

would not let us pass by him, for the Lord your God hardened

his spirit and made his heart obstinate, so that He might deliver

him into your hand as he is to this day.

31 (Dt 1:8) The Lord said to me, "See, I have begun to give Sihon

and his land to you. Begin to possess it, so that you may inherit his land."

32 (Nu 21:23-30) Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people,

to fight at Jahaz.

33 (Dt 7:2) Then the Lord our God delivered him over to us, and we struck

him down with his sons and all his people.

34 (Dt 7:2; 3:6) We took all his cities at that time and utterly destroyed

the men, the women, and the children of every city. We left no survivors.

35 We took only the livestock for plunder

and the spoils of the cities which we took.

36 (Jos 13:9; Dt 3:12; 4:48) From Aroer, which is on the bank

of the River Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley,

all the way to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us.

The Lord our God delivered all to us.

37 (Ge 32:22; Nu 21:24) Only you did not come near the land of the Ammonites,

nor to any place on the River Jabbok, nor to the cities in the hill country,

nor to any place the Lord our God had forbidden us.

DEUTERONOMY 1



The Command to Leave Horeb



1 (1Sa 25:1) These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel

on the other side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain

opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel and Laban

and Hazeroth and Dizahab.

2 (Nu 13:26; 32:8) (It is an eleven-day journey from

Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea.)

3 (Nu 33:38) In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month,

on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel,

according to all that the Lord had commanded him to give to them.

4 (Nu 21:21-35; Ne 9:22) It was after he had slain

Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon,

and Og the king of Bashan, who lived at Ashtaroth in Edrei.

5 Across the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare

this law, saying:

6 (Ex 3:1; Nu 10:11-13) The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying,

"You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.

7 (Dt 11:24; Jos 10:40) Turn, and take your journey, and go to the mountains

of the Amorites, and to all their neighbors, in the plain, in the mountains

and in the lowland, in the Negev and by the seacoast, to the land of the

Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates.

8 (Ge 12:7; 15:18) See, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess

the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac,

and Jacob, to give to them and to their descendants after them."



[1] These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan

in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and

Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

[2] (There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto

Kadesh-barnea.)

[3] And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the

first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel,

according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;

[4] After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in

Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:

[5] On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this

law, saying,

[6] The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long

enough in this mount:

[7] Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites,

and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in

the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the

Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

[8] Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which

the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto

them and to their seed after them.



Leaders Appointed



9 (Ex 18:18) I spoke to you at that time, saying,

"I am not able to bear you by myself.

10 (Ge 15:5; Dt 10:22) The Lord your God has multiplied you, and surely

you are this day as numerous as the stars of heaven.

11 (Ge 22:17; Ex 32:13) May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you

a thousand times more numerous and bless you, just as He has promised you!

12 How can I myself bear your load and your burden and your strife?

13 (Ex 18:21; Nu 11:16-17) Choose wise, discerning, and knowing men,

among your tribes, and I will appoint them as leaders over you."

14 You answered me, and said,

"The thing which you have said is good for us to do."

15 So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and well-known men,

and appointed them as leaders over you, leaders over thousands,

and leaders over hundreds, and leaders over fifties,

and leaders over tens, and officers among your tribes.

16 (Jn 7:24; Lev 24:22) I charged your judges at that time, saying,

"Hear the issues between your countrymen, and judge righteously

between every man and his fellow countryman, and the foreigner

that is with him.

17 (Ex 18:26; Lev 19:15) You shall not show partiality in judgment,

but you shallhear the small as well as the great. You shall not be afraid

in any man's presence, for the judgment is God's. The case that is too

hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it."

18 At that time, I commanded you all the things you should do.



[9] And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you

myself alone:

[10] The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as

the stars of heaven for multitude.

[11] (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as

ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

[12] How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your

strife?

[13] Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and

I will make them rulers over you.

[14] And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good

for us to do.

[15] So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them

heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and

captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your

tribes.

[16] And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between

your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and

the stranger that is with him.

[17] Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small

as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the

judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me,

and I will hear it.

[18] And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.



Israel Sends Spies



19 (Dt 1:2; 8:15; Jer 2:6) When we departed from Horeb, we went through

all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw by the way of the

mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us,

and we came to Kadesh Barnea.

20 I said to you, "You have come to the mountains of the Amorites,

which the Lord our God is giving to us.

21 (Jos 1:9) See, the Lord your God has set the land before you.

Go up and possess it, just as the Lord, the God of your fathers,

spoke to you. Do not fear or be discouraged."

22 So all of you came near to me and said,

"Let us send men before us, so that they shall scout out the land,

and bring back to us word concerning what way we should go up

and into what cities we shall come."

23 The thing pleased me, and I took twelve men from you,

one out of each tribe.

24 (Nu 13:21-27) They turned and went up into the hill country

and came to the Valley of Eshkol and scouted it out.

25 They took the fruit of the land in their hands,

and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said,

"It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us."



[19] And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and

terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the

Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

[20] And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites,

which the LORD our God doth give unto us.

[21] Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and

possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not,

neither be discouraged.

[22] And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men

before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by

what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.

[23] And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a

tribe:

[24] And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley

of Eshcol, and searched it out.

[25] And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it

down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which

the LORD our God doth give us.



Israel Rebels



26 (Nu 14:1-4) Yet you were not willing to go up,

but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God.

27 (Dt 9:28; Nu 14:3) You murmured in your tents, and said,

"Because the Lord hates us, He has brought us out of the land

of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us.

28 (Dt 9:1-2; Nu 13:28-33) Where shall we go up? Our brothers have

discouraged our hearts, saying, "The people are greater and taller than we.

The cities are great and walled up to heaven.

And moreover, we have seen the sons of the Anakites there.' "

29 Then I said to you, "Do not be terrified, or afraid of them.

30 (Ex 14:14; Ne 4:20) The Lord your God who goes before you,

He shall fight for you, just as all that He did for you

in Egypt before your eyes,

31 (Isa 46:3-4; 63:9) and in the wilderness, where you saw how

the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all

the way that you went, until you came to this place.-

32 (Ps 106:24; Jude 1:5) Yet in this thing you did not believe

the Lord your God,

33 (Nu 10:33; Ps 78:14) who went in the way before you,

to find you a place to pitch your tents, in fire by night

and in a cloud by day, to show you by what way you should go.

34 The Lord heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and vowed, saying,

35 "Not one of these men of this evil generation will see the good

land which I swore to give to your fathers.

36 (Nu 14:24) The exception will be Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

He shall see it, and to him I will give the land upon which he has walked,

and to his children, because he has wholly followed the Lord."

37 (Nu 20:12; Dt 4:21) Also the Lord was angry with me on your account,

saying, "You also shall not go in.

38 (Nu 14:30; Dt 3:28) But Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you,

he shall go in. Encourage him, for he will cause Israel to inherit it.

39 (Nu 14:3; Isa 7:15-16) Moreover, your little ones, who you said would

be a prey, and your children, who in that day had no knowledge

between good and evil, they shall go in, and to them will I give it,

and they shall possess it.

40 (Nu 14:25) But as for you, turn around, and take your journey

into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea."

41 Then you answered and said to me,

"We have sinned against the Lord. We will go up and fight,

just as the Lord our God commanded us."

So each of you girded on his weapons of war and you thought

it easy to go up into the hill country.

42 Then the Lord said to me, "Tell them,

'Do not go up nor fight, for I am not among you;

lest you be defeated before your enemies.' "

43 (Nu 14:44) So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead,

you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord

and went presumptuously up into the hill country.

44 (Ps 118:12; Nu 14:45) The Amorites, who lived in the hill country,

came out against you, and chased you as bees do,

and destroyed you in Seir as far as Hormah.

45 Then you returned and wept before the Lord,

but the Lord would neither listen to your voice nor give ear to you.

46 (Nu 20:1; 20:22) So you dwelt in Kadesh many days,

according to the days you dwelt there.

Numbers 36

[1] And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son

of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came

near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of

the children of Israel:

[2] And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an

inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by

the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his

daughters.

[3] And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the

children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the

inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe

whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our

inheritance.

[4] And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their

inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are

received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of

the tribe of our fathers.

[5] And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the

LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.

[6] This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters

of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the

family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.

[7] So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe

to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the

inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

[8] And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the

children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her

father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of

his fathers.

[9] Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe;

but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to

his own inheritance.

[10] Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:

[11] For Mahlal, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of

Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:

[12] And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son

of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of

their father.

[13] These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded

by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by

Jordan near Jericho.

True Satisfaction in God by Katara Patton



Genesis 25:7-11



7 (Ge 12:4) These are the years of Abraham's life that he lived:

one hundred and seventy-five years.

8 (Ge 49:33; 15:15; 25:17) Then Abraham breathed his last

and died at a good old age, an old man and full of years;

and he was gathered to his people.

9 (Ge 35:29; 50:13) His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him

in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron

the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,

10 (Ge 23:16; 49:31) the field that Abraham purchased

from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.

11 (Ge 16:14; 24:62)After the death of Abraham, God blessed his son Isaac.

Isaac lived at Beer Lahai Roi.



[7] And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an

hundred threescore and fifteen years.

[8] Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man,

and full of years; and was gathered to his people.

[9] And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in

the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

[10] The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was

Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

[11] And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his

son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.



Thirty years ago, I participated in an activity at an unemployment workshop

that I still remember today. My fellow laid-off coworkers and I were asked to

write our retirement speeches. Huh? We were looking for work and far from

retirement age. But the facilitator revealed the purpose of the activity by

saying, "Your speech will probably have little to do with your work." She

explained to us that a job really isn't the center of our lives. And while

we may be grieving the loss of a job, our lives mean much more than being

employed.



The details about the end of Abraham's life remind me of this lesson. He died

at a "ripe old age" and had lived a "long and satisfying life"

(Genesis 25:8 nlt). Throughout Scripture, we read about Abraham's

faithfulness in following God's instructions, but we don't read much about

his work. The faith the patriarch displayed (15:6) reminds me of the Teacher's

conclusion in Ecclesiastes: "To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom,

knowledge and happiness" (2:26). The Teacher said this after considering

the meaning of life and how one can find enjoyment in the midst of work

or toil (vv. 24-25).



Even during times of loss and anxiety brought by unemployment, it's helpful

to reflect on Abraham's example and the Teacher's words - pointing us to true

satisfaction found only in God.



Reflect & Pray



What do you believe you'll be known for?

How does focusing on your legacy help you live today?



Dear God, please remind me to live faithfully

as I walk with You - experiencing satisfaction in Your presence.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 2 - Earning Death



Romans 6:23



23 (Ro 5:12; Ge 2:17; Ro 2:7) For the wages of sin is death,

but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.



23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal

life through Jesus Christ our Lord.



"I only want my rights," declares the belligerent Big Ghost, one of the

characters in C. S. Lewis's classic, The Great Divorce. "I'm not asking

for anybody's bleeding charity."

"Then do. At once," his angelic friend Len urges. "Ask for the Bleeding

Charity. Everything is here for the asking and nothing can be bought."

Often we are much like the Ghost in Lewis's tale of heaven and hell.

We want "What we deserve," and being blind to our own sin, we think

we deserve praise, or al least mercy. But Paul is very clear on what

we have coming: "The wages of sin is death".

We work for our wages - we've earned our paycheque, and we deserve it.

We don't have to thank anyone for paying us - it's our due, not a gift.

Similarly, the paycheque issued to us in renumeration for our sin is

what we deserve: death.

Yet, if we are willing to lay aside our pride and accept God's gift,

we can live. "The gift of God is eternal life." Nothing we can do or say

can make us worthy of the gift of life. We are sinners by nature and we

rebel against God in our choices. Yet God, in Christ, offers grace to us,

freedom from sin, liberty from the burden of trying to earn his favour.

Ironically, freedom and peace in the Christian life come not through

justifying ourselves and making ourselves look good, but through

acknowledging the depth of our sin ad our ability to do anything about it.

When we realise that we are trapped in out sinful selves and only

Christ can free us, then we are ready to journey toward grace and freedom.



Application



a) In what way's have I tried to "earn" the gift of eternal life?



b) What can I do to focus on God's grace and realise

that I cannot accomplish my own salvation?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 28:11



11 (Dt 28:4; 30:9) The Lord will make you overflow in prosperity,

in the offspring of your body, in the offspring of your livestock,

and in the produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore

to your fathers to give you.



11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body,

and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land

which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.



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



When you are lonely



1 John 4:16b-18



God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

17 (1Jn 2:5; 2:28) In this way God's love is perfected in us,

so that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as He is,

so are we in this world.

18 (Ro 8:15; 2Ti 1:7) There is no fear in love,

but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.

Whoever fears is not perfect in love.



God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness

in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:

because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.



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.

Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 2025





Pray for Muslims in Singapore



Nearly half a million guest workers, the majority of them Muslim, are

counted in Singapore's population of 6 million. Daud was one of them.

Financial constraints in his family meant he could not continue his

religious studies and fulfill his dream of being an imam. As the

eldest son, he left his family and new bride to join a workforce of

250,000 Bangladeshi migrant workers in Singapore.



Life was very challenging for Daud. As a guest worker with little

knowledge of his legal rights, he was cheated out of agency fees and

he eventually lost his job. Frightened and with nowhere to turn, he

approached some Christians at a local charity for help. He had been

avoiding them, knowing they were from a church, but, at this stage, he

was really was desperate.



The charity staff was generous and caring and treated Daud with respect.



Touched by their care and impressed by what he learned about Isa

Moshiho (Jesus the Messiah), Daud's heart softened. For the first

time, he realized that Allah created him like Himself so that He could

share His thoughts, His will, His plans with him! What an honor - that

God would want a relationship with him! After two months of reading

the Word, Daud received Jesus as His Lord and Saviour and was

baptized.

See also Welcome to 30 Days of Prayer 2026



Daud went on to share what he was learning with his father and his

young wife over the phone, and they too expressed a desire to follow

Jesus. Back at home, Daud immediately started to reach out to his

other relatives. One by one, many came to know the Lord. He testified

that through exploitation and loss, God redeemed him and brought him

from darkness to light. His life became filled with joy once he met

Jesus!



How to Pray



Pray that Singaporeans would show warmth and respect to guest

workers in their country.

Pray that believers in Singapore would reach out to Muslim guest

workers with the Good News and warm hospitality.

* Ask that Muslims who love Jesus would share their faith in their

home countries and be beacons of light in their hometowns.



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, ...) .

Scripture: Joshua 3:3–5



3 (Dt 31:9; Nu 10:33) They commanded the people, "When you see the ark

of the covenant of the Lord your God and the Levite priests carrying it,

then you shall set out from where you are and go behind it.

{About 3,000 feet, or 900 meters.} between you and it.

Do not draw closer to it, in order that you may know the way you should go.

For you have not passed this way before."

[4] Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits

by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must

LORD will do wonders among you.

especially sharks and piranhas. I found it exhilarating to watch people swim

in a shiver of sharks without a cage, but rightfully there needed to be a

degree of preparation and fear present. While it is possible to swim

peacefully with these creatures, the diver needed to be clean and free from

any trace of blood, or risk being torn apart.



As we fast, we can rightfully anticipate God's presence, but are we prepared

to be in His presence? Like these courageous divers, we cannot approach God

haphazardly; we need to consecrate ourselves before we step into His power, or

we risk being consumed by His holiness.



Consecration is a fancy way of saying that we dedicate and purify ourselves by

maintaining a singular focus on Him. Often this was expressed through some

kind of outward rituals, like washing oneself with water. A recent modern

equivalent could be the practice of putting on our "Sunday best."



Understandably, we live on the other side of the cross where - unlike

our divers - we are purified by the blood of the Lamb, not by our works.

However, even Jesus said that "those who have had a bath need only wash

their feet." (Jn 13:10 NIV). Furthermore, "if we confess our sins ...

[He] will forgive us our sins and purifies us," (1Jn1:9 NIV, emphasis mine).

Therefore Calvary, let us remove our shoes, fix our gaze, and walk to Him

on the shark-infested waters.

Personal Reflection Questions:



1. How have I approached God haphazardly?



2. Is there something, even seemingly insignificant,

that we should confess and allow Jesus to wash our feet of?



Prayer Points:



- The Mission Servant Council is planning to send a couple of leaders

to assist some of our long-term overseas workers. Pray that the planning,

logistics, and scheduling would all come together.



- Pray for the 35 foreign workers Calvary supports across all continents

(except Antarctica). Pray for strength over the overworked families,

the weary aged, and isolated singles.

Numbers 35



Cities of Refuge



6 (Jos 21:3; 21:13) Among the cities which you will give to the Levites

there will be six cities of refuge, which you will appoint

for the manslayer, that he may flee there,

and to them you will add 42 cities.

7 So all the cities which you will give to the Levites will be 48 cities.

You will give them with their pasturelands.

8 (Nu 26:54; 33:54) The cities which you shall give shall be from

the possession of the children of Israel. From the larger tribes

you shall give many, and from the smaller tribes you shall give few.

Each tribe, in proportion to the inheritance that it receives,

shall give of its cities to the Levites.

9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them:

When you are crossing over the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

11 (Ex 21:13; Jos 20:2) then you shall designate cities as

your cities of refuge,

so that a manslayer who unintentionally kills a person may flee there.

12 (Dt 19:6; Jos 20:3-6) The cities will be for you a refuge from

the avenger, so that the manslayer does not die until he stands trial

before the assembly.

13 The cities which you designate shall be your six cities of refuge.

14 You will give three cities across the Jordan, and three cities you

will give in the land of Canaan, which will be cities of refuge.

15 (Nu 15:16) For the children of Israel, and for the stranger,

and for the foreign sojourner among them will be six cities.

These will be for a refuge. Everyone that unintentionally kills

any person may flee there.

16 (Lev 24:17) If he strikes him with an instrument of iron, so that he dies,

he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

17 If he strikes him with a stone in hand, by which hecould die,

and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall surely be put to death.

18 Or if he strikes him with a weapon of wood in hand, by which

he could die, and he dies, he is a murderer. The murderer shall

surely be put to death.

19 (Nu 35:21; Dt 19:6) The avenger of blood himself will slay the murderer.

When he meets him, he will slay him.

20 (Ex 21:14; Dt 19:11) But if he pushed him out of hatred, or threw something

at him, lying in wait, so he dies,

21 or in hatred struck him with his hand, so he died, he that struck him shall

surely be put to death, because he is a murderer. The avenger of blood will

slay the murderer when he meets him.

22 (Ex 21:13; Nu 35:11) But if he pushed him suddenly without hatred,

or threw anything at him without lying in wait,

23 or used a stone that may cause death, unintentionally throwing it at him,

resulting in death, though they were not enemies,

and was not trying to harm him,

24 (Jos 20:6; Nu 35:12) then the assembly will judge between the manslayer

and the avenger of blood according to these judgments.

25 (Ex 29:7; Lev 4:3) And the assembly will deliver the manslayer out of the

hand of the avenger of blood, and the assembly will restore him to the city

of his refuge where he fled, and he will dwell in it until the death of

the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

26 But if the manslayer will go out at any time beyond

the border of the city of his refuge where he fled,

27 and the avenger of blood finds him outside the borders of the city of

his refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer, he will not

be guilty of blood,

28 because the manslayer should have remained in the city of his refuge

until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest

the manslayer may return to the land of his possession.

29 (Nu 27:11) So these things will be for a statute of judgment to you

throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.

30 (Dt 19:15; Mt 18:16) Whoever kills a person, the murderer will be put

to death by the testimony of witnesses, but one witness will not testify

against a person for death.

31 And you will not take a ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty

of death, but he will surely be put to death.

32 You will not take a ransom for him who fled to the city of his refuge,

that he should come out again to dwell in the land,

until the death of the priest.

33 (Mic 4:11; Ge 9:6) So you will not defile the land which you are in,

because blood defiles the land, and the land cannot be cleansed of the

blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of him that shed it.

34 (Nu 5:3) So do not defile the land which you are dwelling in,

where I am residing, because I the Lord am residing

among the children of Israel.



[6] And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be

six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may

flee thither: and to them ye shall add fourty and two cities.

[7] So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and

eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

[8] And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the

children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from

them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities

unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

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

[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come

over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

[11] Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that

the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.

[12] And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the

manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.

[13] And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for

refuge.

[14] Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall

ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

[15] These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel,

and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that

killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

[16] And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a

murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

[17] And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he

die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

[18] Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die,

and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

[19] The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth

him, he shall slay him.

[20] But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that

he die;

[21] Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him

shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood

shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

[22] But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any

thing without laying of wait,

[23] Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it

upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

[24] Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger

of blood according to these judgments:

[25] And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the

revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his

refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the

high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.

[26] But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city

of his refuge, whither he was fled;

[27] And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of

his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be

guilty of blood:

[28] Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the

death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer

shall return into the land of his possession.

[29] So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout

your generations in all your dwellings.

[30] Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the

mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to

cause him to die.

[31] Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer,

which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.

[32] And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of

his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death

of the priest.

[33] So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth

the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein,

but by the blood of him that shed it.

[34] Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell:

for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.

Marriage of Female Heirs



Nu 27:1-11



1 (Nu 27:1)And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead

the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph,

came near, and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the chief fathers

of the children of Israel.

2 (Nu 33:54) And they said, "The Lord commanded my lord to give the land

for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel,

and my lord was commanded by the Lord to give the inheritance of Zelophehad

our brother to his daughters.

3 If they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes

of the children of Israel, then their inheritance

will be taken from the inheritance

of our fathers and will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to

which they are married, so will it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

4 When the jubilee of the children of Israel happens, then their inheritance

will be added to the inheritance of the tribe to which they are married,

so their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe

of our fathers."

5 (Nu 27:7) Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word

of the Lord, saying: "The tribe of the sons of Joseph has spoken right.

6 (Nu 36:12) This is the thing which the Lord commands concerning

the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, 'Let them marry whom they think best.

But they may marry only within a clan of their father's tribe.

7 (1Ki 21:3) So the inheritance of the children of Israel will not turn

from tribe to tribe, because every one of the children of Israel will keep

the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

8 (1Ch 23:22) Every daughter that possesses an inheritance in any tribe

of the children of Israel will be wife to one of the families of the tribe

of her father, so every man of the children of Israel may enjoy

the inheritance of his fathers.

9 Thus no inheritance will turn from one tribe to another tribe,

but every tribe of the children of Israel will keep its own inheritance.' "

10 Just as the Lord commanded Moses, thus the daughters of Zelophehad did,

11 (Nu 27:1)for Mahlah, Tirzah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Noah,

the daughters of Zelophehad, were married to their uncles' sons.

12 And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh

the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the

family of their father.

13 (Lev 27:34; Nu 22:1) These are the commandments and the judgments

which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel

in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

The Borders of Canaan



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ge 17:8; Ps 105:11) Command the children of Israel, and say to them:

When you are going into the land of Canaan, this is the land that will fall

to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders.

3 (Ge 14:3; Eze 47:13) Then your south side will be from the Wilderness

of Zin along by the border of Edom, and your south border will be

the end of the Dead Sea to the east.

4 (Nu 32:8) And your border will turn from the south

to the Ascent of Akrabbim, and continue to Zin, and the end of it will be

from the south to Kadesh Barnea. Then it will continue to Hazar Addar,

and pass on to Azmon.

5 (Jos 15:4; Ge 15:18; Jos 15:47) And the border will circle around

from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and the end of it will be

at the Mediterranean Sea.

6 For the western border, you will have the Mediterranean Sea

and its coastline. This will be your western border.

7 (Nu 33:37) This will be your northern border:

From the Mediterranean Sea you will mark a line to Mount Hor;

8 (Nu 13:21; 2Ki 14:25) from Mount Hor you will mark a line of your border

to Lebo Hamath, and the limits of the border will be to Zedad.

9 (Eze 47:17) And the border will go on to Ziphron, and the limits of it will

be at Hazar Enan. This will be your northern border.

10 You will mark a line for your eastern border from Hazar Enan to Shepham.

11 (Dt 3:17; 2Ki 23:33) And the border will go down from Shepham to Riblah,

on the east side of Ain, and the border will go down and will reach the side

of the Sea of Kinnereth to the east.

12 (Nu 34:3) And the border will go down to the Jordan, and the limits of it

will be at the Dead Sea.

This will be your land with its borders all around.

13 Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying:

This is the land which you will possess by lot,

which the Lord commanded to give to the nine tribes, and to the half-tribe

14 (Nu 32:33) because the tribe of the children of Reuben by the house

of their fathers and the tribe of the children of Gad by the house of their

fathers have received their inheritance, and half the tribe of Manasseh

has received their inheritance.

15 The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance

on this side of the Jordan near Jericho to the east, toward the sunrise.



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

[2] Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the

land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an

inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)

[3] Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the

coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt

sea eastward:

[4] And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and

pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to

Kadesh-barnea, and shall go on to Hazar-addar, and pass on to Azmon:

[5] And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt,

and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

[6] And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a

border: this shall be your west border.

[7] And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point

out for you mount Hor:

[8] From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of

Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:

[9] And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be

at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

[10] And ye shall point out your east border from Hazar-enan to Shepham:

[11] And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of

Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea

of Chinnereth eastward:

[12] And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall

be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round

about.

[13] And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land

which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the

nine tribes, and to the half tribe:

[14] For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their

fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of

their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of

Manasseh have received their inheritance:

[15] The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on

this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.

18 You will take one leader of each tribe to divide the land by inheritance.

The Levites' Cities



(Dt 4:41-43; 19:1-14; Jos 20:1-9)



1 (Nu 22:1) And the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab

by Jordan near Jericho, saying:

2 (Jos 14:3-4; Eze 48:8) Command the children of Israel,

and they will give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession

cities to dwell in, and you will give the Levites pasturelands

around the city.

3 The cities will be for them to dwell in, and their pasturelands will be

for their livestock, and for their property, and for all their animals.

4 The pasturelands of the cities, which you will give to the Levites,

will reach from the wall of the city

and beyond one thousand cubits

(About 1,500 feet, or 450 meters.)

all around.

5 You will measure from without the city on the east side two thousand

cubits, (About 3,000 feet, or 900 meters.) and on the south side 2000 cubits,

and on the west side 2000 cubits, and on the north side 2000 cubits,

and the city will be in the middle. This will be for them

the pasturelands of the cities.



[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near

Jericho, saying,

[2] Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the

inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also

unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

[3] And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them

shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

[4] And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites,

shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round

about.

[5] And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand

cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two

thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits and the city

shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
