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



God's Protection in Times of Trouble



PSALMS 91



1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust."

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He shall cover you with His feathers,

and under His wings you shall find protection;

His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,

nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) A thousand may fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

but it shall not come near you.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Only with your eyes shall you behold

and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

even the Most High, your dwelling,

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) there shall be no evil befall you,

neither shall any plague come near your tent;

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) for He shall give His angels charge over you

to guard you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you up in their hands,

lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;

the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

and I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him

and show him My salvation.



Psalm 91



1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:

My God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,

Even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:

I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him,and shew him my salvation.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





The Lord's prayer



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 2026 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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

2 Chronicles 23:1-11



[1] And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the

captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of

Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and

Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.

[2] And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the

cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to

Jerusalem.

[3] And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of

God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD

hath said of the sons of David.

[4] This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the

sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;

[5] And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the

gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the

house of the LORD.

[6] But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they

that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all

the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

[7] And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his

weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be

put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth

out.

[8] So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada

the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on

the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the

priest dismissed not the courses.

[9] Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds

spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in

the house of God.

[10] And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand,

from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by

the altar and the temple, by the king round about.

[11] Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and

gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons

anointed him, and said, God save the king.



2) Our Daily Bread for 29 June 2025 titled



Jesus - Our Substitute By John Blase



Hebrews 10:1-10



1 (Heb 8:5; 9:11) For the law is a shadow of the good things to come,

and not the very image of those things. It could never by the same sacrifices,

which they offer continually year after year, perfect those who draw near.

2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshippers,

once purified, would no longer be conscious of sins?

3 (Heb 9:7) But in those sacrifices there is an annual reminder of sins.

4 (Heb 10:11) For it is not possible for the blood of bulls

and goats to take away sins.

5 (Heb 1:6; Ge 3:15) Therefore, when He came into the world, He said:

"Sacrifices and offerings You did not desire,

but a body You have prepared for Me.

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin

You have had no pleasure.

7 (Ge 3:15) Then I said, 'See, I have come to do Your will, O God,'

as it is written of Me

in the volume of the book."

8 (Heb 10:5) Previously when He said, "You did not desire sacrifices

and offerings. You have had no pleasure in burnt offerings

and sacrifices for sin,"(Ps 40:6.) which are offered in accordance

with the law,

9 (Heb 10:7) then He said, "See, I have come to do Your will, O God."

(Ps 40:8.) He takes away the first that He may establish the second.

10 (Jn 17:19; Heb 2:11) By this will we have been sanctified through

the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.



[1] For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very

image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year

by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

[2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the

worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

[3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every

year.

[4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take

away sins.

[5] Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and

offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

[6] In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

[7] Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,)

to do thy will, O God.

[8] Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and

offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which

are offered by the law;

[9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the

first, that he may establish the second.

[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of

Jesus Christ once for all.



As the US Civil War (1861-65) dragged on, both sides resorted to conscription

(the draft) to fill their ranks. Under the Confederate law, a draftee could

dodge service by hiring a man who was exempt from the draft to replace

him - in most cases someone under or over the conscription age. Generally,

the "principal" (as one evading the draft was called) paid a fee to the

government as well as a large sum to his substitute. Only the wealthy

could afford substitutes.



The apostle Paul writes of the cosmic spiritual war, where "all have sinned

and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) and "the wages of sin

is death" (6:23). There was no clause or loophole that gave those

with "means" some way out. But what about a substitute for us all? The writer

to the Hebrews praises God, who in His infinite mercy sent Jesus to be our

substitute - to bear the punishment our sin deserved, to pay our debt by

sacrificing "the body of Jesus Christ once for all" so that we would be "made

holy" through His substitutionary sacrifice (Hebrews 10:10). We have "died

with Christ," and one day "we will also live with him" (Romans 6:8).



That's the good news right there. Christ died for you and for me;

the substitute took our place. We're now more than simply survivors

of the war. We've become the sons and daughters of God.



Reflect & Pray



How does it make you feel to realize that Jesus died in your place?

How might you explain this good news to a friend?



Dear Jesus, I praise You for being my substitute

and securing for me life eternal.

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) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Is 48:15,17



15 I, even I, have spoken, and I have called him;

I have brought him, and his way will prosper.

17 (Ps 32:8; Isa 43:14) Thus says the Lord,

your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit,

who leads you in the way you should go.



15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him:

I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;

I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit,

which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

2 Chronicles 20

[1] It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the

children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against

Jehoshaphat to battle.

[2] Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great

multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold,

they be Hazazon-tamar, which is En-gedi.

[3] And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and

proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

[4] And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even

out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

[5] And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in

the house of the LORD, before the new court,

[6] And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and

rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is

there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

[7] Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land

before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend

for ever?

[8] And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy

name, saying,

[9] If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or

famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in

this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and

help.

[10] And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom

thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of

Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;

[11] Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy

possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

[12] O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this

great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our

eyes are upon thee.

[13] And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their

wives, and their children.

[14] Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of

Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit

of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;

[15] And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem,

and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor

dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but

God's.

[16] To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of

Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness

of Jeruel.

[17] Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye

still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem:

fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will

be with you.

[18] And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all

Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping

the LORD.

[19] And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children

of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud

voice on high.

[20] And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness

of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O

Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so

shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

[21] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto

the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out

before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for

ever.

[22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments

against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come

against

Judah; and they were smitten.

[23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of

mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end

of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

[24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they

looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the

earth, and none escaped.

[25] And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of

them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies,

and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they

could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was

so much.

[26] And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of

Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same

place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.

[27] Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat

in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD

had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

[28] And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto

the house of the LORD.

[29] And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when

they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.

[30] So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round

about.



2 Chronicles 20:31-37



The End of Jehoshaphat's Reign

1Ki 22:41-50



31 And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was 35 years old when he began

his reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-five years.

The name of his mother was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

32 He walked in the way of his father Asa, and he did not turn aside

from doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord.

33 (2Ch 17:6; 19:3) Only the high places were not taken down.

The people had yet to set their hearts to the God of their fathers.

34 (1Ki 16:1; 2Ch 19:2) And the remainder of the acts of Jehoshaphat,

from beginning to end, are written in the annals of Jehu son of Hanani,

which are taken up in the book of the kings of Israel.

35 (1Ki 22:48-49) Also, Jehoshaphat king of Judah was united

with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly.

36 Jehoshaphat joined with him to make ships to travel to Tarshish,

and they made ships in Ezion Geber.

37 (Pr 13:20; 2Ch 9:21) And Eliezer son of Dodavahu from Mareshah

prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, "Because you have joined with Ahaziah,

the Lord will tear down your works."

So the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to journey to Tarshish.



[31] And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old

when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem.

And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

[32] And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it,

doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.

[33] Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had

not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.

[34] Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they

are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the

book of the kings of Israel.

[35] And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah

king of Israel, who did very wickedly:

[36] And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and

they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

[37] Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against

Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD

hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to

go to Tarshish.



1 Kings 22:50



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

and was buried with his fathers

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



[50] And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his

fathers

in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.



2 Chronicles 21:1-4



2 Chronicles 21



1 (1Ki 22:50) So Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers and was buried with them

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

2 (2Ch 12:6; 23:2) And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel,

Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah.

3 (2Ch 11:23) And their father gave them great gifts of silver, gold,

and excellent items, along with fortified cities in Judah,

but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.



[1] Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers

in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

[2] And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and

Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons

of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

[3] And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of

precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to

Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.



Jehoram, King of Judah



2 Ki 8:16-24



4 (Jdg 9:5; Ge 4:8) Then Jehoram rose up over the kingdom of his father

and he became strong. And he killed all his brothers with the sword

and even some of the officials in Israel.



[4] Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he

strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers

also of the princes of Israel.



2 Chronicles 21:5-7



5 Now Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began as king,

and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

6 (2Ch 18:1; 1Ki 12:28-30) And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel

as those from the house of Ahab did, for the daughter of Ahab

was the wife of Jehoram. And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

7 (1Ki 11:36; 2Sa 7:12-17) But the Lord was not willing to destroy the house

of David because of the covenant that He made with David, and because

He said that He would give a lamp to David and his sons for all days.



[5] Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he

reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

[6] And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house

of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which

was evil in the eyes of the LORD.

[7] Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the

covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to

him and to his sons for ever.

2 Chronicles 21:8-20



8 In the days of Jehoram, Edom revolted from being under the hand of Judah,

and they set a king for themselves.

9 So Jehoram passed over to the Edomite territory with his commanders

and all his chariots, and it happened that he rose up at night

and struck the Edomites, who had surrounded him and his chariot commanders.

10 So Edom revolted from being under the hand of Judah until this day.

At that time Libnah also revolted from being under their rule, because Jehoram

had abandoned the Lord God of his fathers.

11 (Lev 20:5; 17:7) He even made high places in the hill country of Judah a

nd caused those in Jerusalem to be like prostitutes, and he led Judah astray.

12 (2Ch 14:2-5; 17:3-4) And a letter came to him

from Elijah the prophet, saying,

"Thus says the Lord God of David your father: Because you have not walked

in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

13 (2Ch 21:4; 21:11) but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel,

and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into whoredom,

as the house of Ahab led Israel into whoredom, and also have killed

your brothers, those of your father's house, who were better than you,

14 the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children,

your wives, and all your possessions;

15 (2Ch 21:18-19) and you will have great sickness with a disease

of your intestines, until your intestines come out because of the disease,

day by day."

16 (2Ch 17:11; 1Ki 11:14) Then the Lord stirred up the spirit

of the Philistines against Jehoram and also the Arabians who were

near the Cushites.

17 (2Ch 22:1; 22:6; 25:23) And they went up against Judah and broke through,

and they took every possession found in the palace of the king,

even his sons and wives, so that no son was left with him

except his youngest Ahaziah.



[8] In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and

made themselves a king.

[9] Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him:

and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and

the captains of the chariots.

[10] So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day.

The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had

forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

[11] Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the

inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.

[12] And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus

saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the

ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

[13] But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah

and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of

the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house,

which were better than thyself:

[14] Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy

children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:

[15] And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy

bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.

[16] Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the

Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:

[17] And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all

the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his

wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest

of his sons.



The Death of Jehoram



18 (2Ch 21:15) And after all this, the Lord struck him in his entrails

with an incurable disease.

19 (2Ch 16:14) And it happened after many days, at the end of two years,

his entrails came out due to his disease, so he died by a despicable disease.

And his people did not make for him a memorial fire like the fire

for his fathers.

20 (Jer 22:18; 22:2) 8He was thirty-two when he began to reign,

and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed with no one's regret.

They buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.



[18] And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable

disease.

[19] And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two

years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore

diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his

fathers.

[20] Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned

in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they

buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.



2 Chronicles 22:1-7



2 Chronicles 22



Ahaziah, King of Judah



2Ki 8:25-29; 9:21-29



1 (2Ch 21:16-17; 2Ki 8:24-29) Then those in Jerusalem made Ahaziah,

the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place because the raiding party,

those coming with the Arabians to the camp, killed all the older sons.

So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram reigned in Jerusalem.

2 (2Ki 8:26; 2Ch 21:6) Now Ahaziah was 42 years [2Ki 8:26 reads t22 years.]

old when he began to reign, but he only reigned one year in Jerusalem.

The name of his mother was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.

3 And he also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab

because his mother was the one counseling him to do evil.

4 (Pr 13:20) And he also did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord,

like the house of Ahab, for they served as his counselors

after his father Jehoram died, which led to his destruction.

5 Even Ahaziah walked in their counsel and went with Jehoram

the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Aram

at Ramoth Gilead. And the Arameans wounded Joram,

6 (2Ki 9:15) and the king returned to Jezreel to heal from the wounds

that he sustained in Ramah where he fought against Hazael king of Aram.

Then Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram

the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was wounded.

7 (2Ki 9:21; 2Ch 10:15) And it was from God that a downfall would happen

to Ahaziah in regard to his visit with Joram. And when he arrived he went

out with Joram to see Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord anointed

to cut off the house of Ahab.



[1] And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in

his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had

slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.

[2] Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he

reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the

daughter of Omri.

[3] He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his

counseller to do wickedly.

[4] Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab:

for they were his counsellers after the death of his father to his

destruction.

[5] He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of

Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead:

and the Syrians smote Joram.

[6] And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were

given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah

the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of

Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.

[7] And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when

he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom

the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.



2 Chronicles 22:8-9



8 And it happened that when Jehu was acting in judgment

with the house of Ahab that he found the rulers of Judah

and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, who were serving Ahaziah,

and Jehu killed them.

9 He sought out Ahaziah, and they captured him while he hid in Samaria,

and they brought him to Jehu, and they put him to death.

And they buried him because they said,

"He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat who sought the Lord with all his heart."

And there was no one from the house of Ahaziah strong enough

to retain the kingdom.



[8] And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the

house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren

of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.

[9] And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in

Samaria,)

and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him:

Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with

all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the

kingdom.



2 Chronicles 22:10-12



Athaliah Seizes the Throne



2Ki 11:1-21



10 So when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead,

she rose up and mounted a campaign to destroy all the royal offspring

of the house of Judah.

11 But Jehoshabeath,Jehosheba in [2Ki 11:2.] the daughter of the king,

took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him away from the king's sons

who were going to be put to death, and she placed him and his nurse

in a bed chamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram

and wife of Jehoiada the priest (since she was a sister of Ahaziah),

hid Joash from Athaliah. And she did not put the royal child to death.

12 And he was hidden away with them in the house of God for six years.

And Athaliah ruled over the land.



[10] But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she

arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

[11] But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of

Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put

him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king

Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of

Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.

[12] And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah

reigned over the land.



2 Chronicles 23:1-11



2 Chronicles 23



Joash, King of Judah



1 Then in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself

and made a covenant with the commanders over hundreds:

Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan,

Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat

the son of Zikri.

2 (2Ch 11:13-17) And they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites

from all the cities of Judah and even the heads of the fathers' houses

in Israel. Then they all came to Jerusalem.

3 (2Sa 7:12; 2Ch 6:16) So the whole assembly made a covenant with the king

in the house of God, and Jehoiada said to them,

"The king's son will reign, as the Lord has said of the sons of David.

4 And this is the thing that you all will do: A third of you all from

the priests and Levites who come on the Sabbath will be gatekeepers,

5 1/3rd will be at the palace of the king and another third

at the Foundation Gate. And all the people will be in the courts of the house

of the Lord.

6 (1Ch 23:28-32) And may no one enter the house of the Lord

except the priests and those Levites who are serving. Those can enter

because they are holy, but all the people will keep their assigned

duty of the Lord.

7 Then the Levites will surround the king, each man with his weapon

in his hand, and whoever enters the house will be put to death.

They will be with the king when he enters and leaves."

8 (2Ki 11:9; 1Ch 24:1-26) The Levites and all Judah did everything

that Jehoiada the priest commanded. Each brought his men,

who were to come on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were

to go off duty on the Sabbath, because Jehoiada the priest did not

dismiss the divisions.

9 Then Jehoiada the priest gave to the commanders of hundreds

the spears and the large and small shields which had been King David's,

which were in the house of God.

10 Then he set all the people around the king,

each man with his weapon in hand, from the south side to the north side

of the temple, from the altar to the temple.

11 (1Sa 10:24; Ex 25:16) Then they brought out the son of the king

and set on him the crown and the testimony and they proclaimed him as king.

So Jehoiada and his sons anointed him and said, "Long live the king!"

Day 180, 29 June 2026



1) 2 Chronicles 19,20,21,22



2 Chronicles 19



1 But Jehoshaphat king of Judah returned to his palace in Jerusalem in peace.

2 (1Ki 16:1; 2Ch 16:7) And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet

him, and he said to King Jehoshaphat, "How do you help those who are wicked

and love those who hate the Lord? Because of this, wrath has gone out against

you from the Lord.

3 (2Ch 12:12; 1Ki 14:13) However, some good things are found in you for you

swept away the Asherah poles from the land,

and you set your heart to seek after God."



[1] And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to

Jerusalem.

[2] And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to

king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate

the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

[3] Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast

taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek

God.



The Reforms of Jehoshaphat



4 (2Ch 15:8-13) Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem, but he went out

among the people from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim,

and he brought them back to the Lord God of their fathers.

5 (Dt 16:18-20) And he set judges in the land among

all the fortified cities of Judah, one by one.

6 (Dt 1:17) And he said to the judges, "Consider carefully what you do

because you do not judge according to man but the Lord, a

nd He is with you in the matter of judgment.

7 (Ge 18:25; Dt 32:4) So now may the fear of the Lord be on you.

Consider and act well because there is no injustice, partiality,

or bribe taking with the Lord our God."

8 (2Ch 17:8-9) Moreover, Jehoshaphat appointed in Jerusalem

some from the Levites and the priests and some from the heads of the families

of Israel, in order to render judgment and decide disputes before the Lord;

and they lived in Jerusalem.

9 (2Sa 23:3) And he commanded them, "So you will act in the fear of the Lord,

in honesty, and with a complete heart.

10 (Dt 17:8-13) And any dispute that comes before you all from your brothers

who live in their cities, concerning bloodshed or offenses against law

or commandment, against statutes or judgments, you will warn them,

lest they trespass against the Lord and wrath come upon you and your brothers.

Do this, and you will not trespass.

11 (1Ch 26:30; 2Ch 19:8) "Note that Amariah the chief priest is over you

in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael,

the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters;

also, the Levites will be officials before you.

Deal courageously, and the Lord will be with the good."



[4] And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out again through the

people from Beer-sheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD

God of their fathers.

[5] And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah,

city by city,

[6] And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man,

but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment.

[7] Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it:

for there is no iniquity with the LORD our God, nor respect of persons, nor

taking of gifts.

[8] Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the

priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the

LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

[9] And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the LORD,

faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

[10] And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in

their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes

and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the

LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye

shall not trespass.

[11] And, behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the

LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for

all the king's matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal

courageously, and the LORD shall be with the good.



2 Chronicles 20:1-30



2 Chronicles 20



Jehoshaphat Defeats Moab and Ammon



1 After that, the Moabites and the Ammonites, together with some Meunites,

[Or Abi in 2Ki 18:2.] came against Jehoshaphat for battle.

2 (Ge 14:7; 1Sa 23:29) And some came and declared this to Jehoshaphat,

"A large multitude is coming against you from across the Dead Sea f

rom Edom; and observe, they are in Hazezon Tamar" (that is, En Gedi).

3 (2Ch 19:3; 1Sa 7:6) Then Jehoshaphat was fearful and set himself to seek

the Lord, and he called for a fast throughout all Judah.

4 And Judah was assembled to seek the Lord; even from all the cities of Judah,

they came to obtain aid from the Lord.

5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the midst of the assembly of Judah

and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new courtyard,

6 (1Ch 29:11-12; Dt 4:39; Da 4:17) and he said:

"O Lord God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens?

And do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations?

In Your hand are strength and might, and there is no one who can oppose You.

7 (Isa 41:8; Jas 2:23) Did You not, our God, drive out those who lived

in this land before Your people Israel, and You gave it perpetually

to the descendants of Abraham, who was in covenant love with You.

8 And they have dwelled in it and have built in it for You a sanctuary

for Your name saying,

9 (2Ch 6:20; 6:28-30) 'If disaster comes upon us, the sword, or judgment,

or pestilence, or famine, then we will stand before this temple

and before You because Your name is in this temple.

And we will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear and deliver.'

10 (Nu 20:17-21; Dt 2:4-5) "Now here are the sons of Ammon and Moab

and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came

out of the land of Egypt, when they turned away from them

and did not destroy them.

11 (Ps 83:3-12) See how they are rewarding us by coming to drive us out

of Your possession, which You have given us to inherit.

12 (Ps 25:15; Jdg 11:27) O our God, will You not render judgment on them?

For we have not strength enough to stand before this great army that is

coming against us. And we do not know what we should do,

but our eyes are on You."

13 Now all of Judah was standing before the Lord,

even their infants, wives, and children.

14 (2Ch 15:1; 24:20) And in the midst of the assembly the Spirit of the Lord

came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel,

the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from the line of Asaph.

15 (1Sa 17:47; 2Ch 32:7-8) And he said, "Pay attention all Judah,

and those dwelling in Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat:

Thus says the Lord to you, 'Do not fear, nor be dismayed

because of this great army, for the battle is not yours, but God's.

16 Tomorrow, go down against them. They will travel up by the Ascent of Ziz.

You will find them at the back of the valley, before the Wilderness of Jeruel.

17 (2Ch 15:2; Ex 14:13-14) It will not be necessary for you to fight

in this conflict. Take your positions, stand, and observe the deliverance

of the Lord for you, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not fear or be filled

with terror. Tomorrow, go out before them, and the Lord will be with you."

18 (Ex 4:31) Then Jehoshaphat bowed his face to the ground, and all Judah

and those dwelling in Jerusalem fell before the Lord to worship Him.

19 And the Levites from the descendants of the Kohathites and Korahites

rose up to praise the Lord God of Israel with a very loud voice.

20 (Isa 7:9; 2Sa 14:2) So they rose up early in the morning and went out

to the Wilderness of Tekoa. And when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood

and said, "Listen to me, Judah and those dwelling in Jerusalem.

Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be supported.

Believe His prophets, and you will succeed."

21 (1Ch 16:29; 16:34) And he consulted with the people and then appointed

singers for the Lord and those praising Him in holy attire as they went

before those equipped for battle saying,

"Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever."

22 (Jdg 7:22; 2Ch 13:13) When they began singing and praising, the Lord set

ambushes against Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah;

so they were defeated.

23 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) Then the Ammonites and Moabites stood up against

those dwelling from Mount Seir to destroy and finish them. Then when they made

an end of the inhabitants of Seir, each man attacked his companion

to destroy each other.

24 And Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, and they turned

to the vast army and saw only corpses lying on the ground.

And no one was spared.

25 Then Jehoshaphat and his people came to gather their plunder,

and they found among them an abundance of riches with the corpses,

and precious jewelry, which they took for themselves, more than they

could carry. They were gathering the plunder for three days

because there was so much to carry.

26 On the fourth day they gathered at the Valley of Berakah,

because there they blessed the Lord. For this reason people have called

the name of this place the Valley of Berakah until this day.

27 (Ne 12:43) Then they all returned, every man from Judah and Jerusalem,

with Jehoshaphat as their head, to Jerusalem with joy because the Lord made

them rejoice because of the death of their enemies.

28 So they entered Jerusalem with harps, lyres,

and trumpets to the house of the Lord.

29 (2Ch 17:10; Ge 35:5) And it happened that the terror of God was on

all the kingdoms of the lands who heard that the Lord had fought

against the enemies of Israel.

30 (2Ch 14:6-7; 15:15) So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet,

because his God gave him rest on all sides.

God's Protection in Times of Trouble



Ps 27:1-6



PSALMS 27



A Psalm of David.



1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

whom will I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

of whom will I be afraid?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me

to eat my flesh -

my enemies and my foes -

they stumbled and fell.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,

my heart will not fear;

though war should rise against me,

in this will I be confident.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,

that will I seek after -

for me to dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to see the beauty of the Lord,

and to inquire in His temple.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble

He will hide me in His pavilion;

in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;

He will set me up on a rock.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8 - 9) Now my head will be lifted up

above my enemies encircling me;

therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.



1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,

came upon me to eat up my flesh,

They stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:

Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;

That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:

In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;

he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up,

Above mine enemies round about me:

Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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, ...) .

1 Kings 22



[10] And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on

his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of

the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

[11] And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said,

Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou

have consumed them.

[12] And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and

prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.

[13] And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying,

Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one

mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak

that which is good.

[14] And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that

will I speak.

[15] So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we

go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered

him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the

king.

[16] And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that

thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?

[17] And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that

have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them

return every man to his house in peace.

[18] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that

he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

[19] And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD

sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his

right hand and on his left.

[20] And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall

at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that

manner.

[21] And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I

will persuade him.

[22] And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth,

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

Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

[23] Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of

all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

[24] But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the

cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak

unto thee?

[25] And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt

go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

[26] And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon

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

[27] And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed

him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in

peace.

[28] And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not

spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.



2 Chronicles 18:9-27



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

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

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

and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

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

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

out the Arameans in Syria until they are finished."

11 And all the prophets were prophesying the same,

"Go up to Ramoth Gilead and find success,

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

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

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

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

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

says, that will I speak."

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

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

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

and they will be given into your hands."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

at His right and His left.

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

go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?'

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

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

'I will deceive him.'

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

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

in the mouth of all the prophets.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

chamber to hide yourself."

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

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

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

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

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

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



[9] And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them

on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the

entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before

them.

[10] And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said,

Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.

[11] And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and

prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

[12] And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying,

Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent;

let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou

good.

[13] And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will

I speak.

[14] And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah,

shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go

ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

[15] And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou

say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

[16] Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as

sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let

them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

[17] And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he

would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?

[18] Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD

sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right

hand and on his left.

[19] And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go

up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and

another saying after that manner.

[20] Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I

will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

[21] And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all

his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also

prevail: go out, and do even so.

[22] Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of

these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

[23] Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon

the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak

unto thee?

[24] And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go

into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

[25] Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to

Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

[26] And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed

him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in

peace.

[27] And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the

LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.



1 Kings 22:29-35



Ahab Dies in Battle



2Ch 18:28-34



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

went up to Ramoth Gilead.

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

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

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

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

who had control over his chariots, saying,

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

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

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

and Jehoshaphat cried out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

out of the wound into the floor of the chariot.



[29] So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to

Ramoth-gilead.

[30] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself,

and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel

disguised himself, and went into the battle.

[31] But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had

rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save

only with the king of Israel.

[32] And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat,

that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to

fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

[33] And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that

it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

[34] And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel

between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his

chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

[35] And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his

chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the

wound into the midst of the chariot.

2 Chronicles 18:28-34



The Death of Ahab



1Ki 22:29-36



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

to Ramoth Gilead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then he died when the sun set.



[28] So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to

Ramoth-gilead.

[29] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself,

and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel

disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

[30] Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that

were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the

king of Israel.

[31] And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat,

that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him

to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved

them to depart from him.

[32] For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived

that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.

[33] And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel

between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man,

Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

[34] And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed

himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the

time of the sun going down he died.



1 Kings 22:36-40



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

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

to his own country."

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

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

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

to the word which the Lord spoke.

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

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

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

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



[36] And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down

of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.

[37] So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king

in Samaria.

[38] And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked

up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the

LORD which he spake.

[39] Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory

house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written

in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

[40] So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his

stead.



1 Kings 22:51-53



Ahaziah, King of Israel



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

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

two years over Israel.

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

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

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

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

and provoked the Lord God of Israel to anger,

according to all that his father had done.

Sweeter Than Honey By Arthur Jackson



Psalm 119:97-107



Mem

97 Oh, how I love Your law!

It is my meditation all the day.

98 Your commandments have made me wiser than my enemies,

for they are continually with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,

for Your testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the elders,

because I keep Your precepts.

101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way,

that I might keep Your word.

102 I have not departed from Your judgments,

for You have taught me.

103 How sweet are Your words to the taste of my mouth!

Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 Through Your precepts I receive understanding;

therefore I hate every false way.



[97] O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

[98] Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for

they are ever with me.

[99] I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are

my meditation.

[100] I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

[101] I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy

word.

[102] I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

[103] How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my

mouth!

[104] Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false

way.



If you want to bring a smile to Jarrett's face, ask him about his bees. He's

an apiarist - a beekeeper. Though our meetings in his backyard are not about

bees, it's not uncommon for "apiculture" lessons to be a stimulating part of

our conversations. But even better than "bee talk" is the nature-fresh, sweet

taste of the golden-colored honey produced by Jarrett's hardworking bees.

Mm, mm, good!



In Psalm 119:103, the psalmist exclaims, "How sweet are your words to my

taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Closer examination

of verses 97-104 reveals that the "sweeter than honey" comparison is just one

of several phrases the writer uses to accent the supreme value of Scripture:

"Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies. I have

more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I have

more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts" (vv. 98-100).

The bottom line is that wholeheartedly embracing what God has revealed

through the words of the Bible situates us to live well in this world.



Similarly, when Jesus, the living Word (see John 1:1-14), is experienced

and valued, His followers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, are well-positioned

to live in ways that honor God and serve His purposes.



Reflect & Pray



How can you better savour the written words of the Bible? What

have you experienced that was particularly sweet in your journey with Jesus?



Dear Jesus, I've tasted and seen that You and

the Scriptures are good. Please help me love and embrace You more and more.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 1 - Sin Universal



Romans 3:23-24



23 (Ro 3:9) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

24 (Ro 4:16; Col 1:14) being justified freely by His grace

through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,



23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption

that is in Christ Jesus:



A distinguished middle-aged man stood trembling before his church

to give his testimony. Years before, in the grip of a mental illness

that nearly destroyed his life, he had taken the life of his own daughter

and tried to kill himself. But he did not die; tried and convicted, he

spent years in prison, and even longer in the prison of his own guilt.

After the service, a young woman walked up to him and simply said,

"Thank you for sharing. I've sinned, too."

We've all sinned, too - lest we forget or rationalise, the Bible reminds

us in no uncertain terms. And the writer of these verses was no stranger

to sin: he was the Pharisee, the holier-than-thou religious leader

who officiated at the stoning death of Stephen. He was the Jew who had

scattered and killed the followers of this heretic called Christ. He

thought he was righteous while he murdered God's people.

Christians tends to establish a "hierarchy" of sin - sexual sin is "worse"

than pride: murder is "more horrible" than slander. Yet the Bible gives

no indication that god acknowledges our hierarchy. Sin is sin; all have

sinned, and if we are guilty at one point, we are guilty of all.

Rather than rationalise our individual sins as being "less bad"

than someone else's, we need to openly confess our dilemma as sinners

and turn to God for his remedy. We cannot and do not need to earn or

deserve that grace - it is a gift from God.



Application



a) Have I ever compared my sin with someone else's in order

to make myself fell like a better person? Why is such

comparison not a valid remedy for sin?



b) Why do I need to acknowledge my sin honestly before I can

receive justification?

1 Kings 22



[10] And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on

his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of

the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

[11] And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said,

Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou

have consumed them.

[12] And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and

prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.

[13] And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying,

Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one

mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak

that which is good.

[14] And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that

will I speak.

[15] So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we

go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered

him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the

king.

[16] And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that

thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?

[17] And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that

have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them

return every man to his house in peace.

[18] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that

he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

[19] And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD

sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his

right hand and on his left.

[20] And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall

at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that

manner.

[21] And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I

will persuade him.

[22] And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth,

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

Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

[23] Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of

all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

[24] But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the

cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak

unto thee?

[25] And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt

go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

[26] And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon

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

[27] And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed

him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in

peace.

[28] And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not

spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.



2 Chronicles 18:9-27



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

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

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

and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

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

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

out the Arameans in Syria until they are finished."

11 And all the prophets were prophesying the same,

"Go up to Ramoth Gilead and find success,

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

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

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

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

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

says, that will I speak."

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

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

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

and they will be given into your hands."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

at His right and His left.

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

go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?'

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

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

'I will deceive him.'

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

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

in the mouth of all the prophets.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

chamber to hide yourself."

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

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

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

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

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

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



[9] And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them

on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the

entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before

them.

[10] And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said,

Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.

[11] And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and

prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

[12] And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying,

Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent;

let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou

good.

[13] And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will

I speak.

[14] And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah,

shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go

ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

[15] And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou

say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

[16] Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as

sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let

them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

[17] And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he

would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?

[18] Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD

sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right

hand and on his left.

[19] And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go

up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and

another saying after that manner.

[20] Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I

will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?

[21] And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all

his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also

prevail: go out, and do even so.

[22] Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of

these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

[23] Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon

the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak

unto thee?

[24] And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go

into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

[25] Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to

Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

[26] And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed

him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in

peace.

[27] And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the

LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.



1 Kings 22:29-35



Ahab Dies in Battle



2Ch 18:28-34



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

went up to Ramoth Gilead.

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

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

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

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

who had control over his chariots, saying,

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

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

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

and Jehoshaphat cried out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

out of the wound into the floor of the chariot.



[29] So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to

Ramoth-gilead.

[30] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself,

and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel

disguised himself, and went into the battle.

[31] But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had

rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save

only with the king of Israel.

[32] And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat,

that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to

fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

[33] And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that

it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

[34] And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel

between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his

chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

[35] And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his

chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the

wound into the midst of the chariot.

Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab



1 KINGS 22:1-9



2Ch 18:1-27



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

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

to visit the king of Israel.

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

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

of the king of Aram!"

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

Ramoth Gilead?"

And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel,

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

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

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

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

approximately four hundred men, and said to them,

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

And they said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Quickly, bring Micaiah the son of Imlah."



1 Kings 22

[1] And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

[2] And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of

Judah came down to the king of Israel.

[3] And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in

Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king

of Syria?

[4] And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to

Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art,

my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

[5] And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at

the word of the LORD to day.

[6] Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four

hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle,

or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into

the hand of the king.

[7] And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides,

that we might inquire of him?

[8] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man,

Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate

him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat

said, Let not the king say so.

[9] Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither

Micaiah the son of Imlah.

2 CHRONICLES 18



Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab



1Ki 22:1-28



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

and he married into the family of Ahab.

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

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

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

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

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

And he responded,

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

We will be with you in this war"

4 And Jehoshaphat further said to the king of Israel,

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

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

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

or should I cease from this?"

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

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

for the Lord from whom we might inquire?"

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

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

but I hate him because he does not prophesy anything good

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

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

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

"Hurry and bring Micaiah the son of Imlah."



2 Chronicles 18

[1] Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity

with Ahab.

[2] And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed

sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with

him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.

[3] And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou

go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my

people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.

[4] And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at

the word of the LORD to day.

[5] Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred

men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I

forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.

[6] But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides,

that we might inquire of him?

[7] And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by

whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied

good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And

Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

[8] And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch

quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.



1 Kings 22:10-28



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

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

all the prophets prophesied before them.

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

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

until you have consumed them."

12 All the prophets prophesied similarly, saying,

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

into the king's hand."

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

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

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

and speak that which is good."

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

whatever the Lord says to me."

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

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

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

deliver it into the hand of the king."

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

the truth in the name of the Lord?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

beside Him on His right hand and on His left.

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

at Ramoth Gilead?'

"And one said this, and another said that.

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

persuade him.'

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

"And he said, 'I will go and be a lying spirit

in the mouth of all his prophets.'

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

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

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

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

and struck Micaiah on the cheek and said,

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

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

when you go into an inner chamber to hide."

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

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

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

in the prison, and feed him with reduced rations

of bread and water until I return safely.'"

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

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

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



God's Gift of Salvation



Ps 51:1-13



PSALMS 51



For the Music Director. A Psalm of David,

when Nathan the Prophet came to him,

after he had gone in to Bathsheba.



1 Have mercy on me, O God,

according to Your lovingkindness;

according to the abundance of Your compassion,

blot out my transgressions.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2 ) Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

and cleanse me from my sin.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For I acknowledge my transgressions,

and my sin is ever before me.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Against You, You only, have I sinned,

and done this evil in Your sight,

so that You are justified when You speak,

and You are blameless when You judge.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I was brought forth in iniquity,

and in sin my mother conceived me.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You desire truth in the inward parts,

and in the hidden part You make me to know wisdom.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 ) Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Make me to hear joy and gladness,

that the bones that You have broken may rejoice.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Hide Your face from my sins,

and blot out all my iniquities.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Create in me a clean heart, O God,

and renew a right spirit within me.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not cast me away from Your presence,

and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,

and uphold me with Your willing spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,

and sinners will return to You.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



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

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

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

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

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

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

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Agree in prayer for :



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

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

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

together for worship!

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

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

2) Our Daily Bread for 27 June 2026 titled



One Sure Thing By Mike Wittmer



Colossians 1:15-23



The Person and Work of Christ



15 (2Co 4:4; Jn 1:18) He is the image of the invisible God and the firstborn

of every creature.

16 (Jn 1:3; Ro 11:36) For by Him all things were created that are in heaven

and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones,

or dominions, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by Him

and for Him.

17 (Jn 8:58; Heb 1:3) He is before all things,

and in Him all things hold together.

18 (Ac 26:23; Eph 1:22-23) He is the head of the body, the church.

He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in all things

He may have the preeminence.

19 (Jn 1:16; Col 2:9) For it pleased the Father that in Him all fullness

should dwell,

20 (Eph 1:10; Ro 5:1) and to reconcile all things to Himself by Him,

having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him, I say-whether

they are things in earth, or things in heaven.

21 (Eph 2:12) And you, who were formerly alienated and enemies

in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

22 (Ro 7:4; Eph 5:27) in the body of His flesh through death,

to present you holy and blameless and above reproach in His sight,

23 (Eph 3:17; Mk 16:15) if you continue in the faith, grounded and settled,

and are not removed from the hope of the gospel, which you have heard,

and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven,

and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.



[15] Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

[16] For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in

earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or

principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

[17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

[18] And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the

firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

[19] For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

[20] And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to

reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in

earth, or things in heaven.

[21] And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by

wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

[22] In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and

unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

[23] If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away

from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to

every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;



Trees in cold climates prepare for winter through a process called

"hardening." Water drains from cells so they won't freeze, expand, and burst

the tree. The water that remains between the cells is too pure for ice

crystals to attach. Its temperature may now drop to forty degrees below zero

without cracking the tree. Trees harden at the same time each year because

they take their cues from the fixed calendar of shortening days. They don't

stake their lives on the weather, which may be unseasonably mild.

They trust the sun, their one sure thing.



The Son who made the sun is surer yet. He is "the image of the invisible God,

the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created," and "in

him all things hold together" (Colossians 1:15-17). Who tells trees when to

harden each year? The same Son who makes the sun rise each morning and puts it

to bed each night, pulls tides with the moon, whirls electrons in every cell,

pumps your heart and inflates your lungs, and holds you when your heart

is broken.



What holds the world together isn't a force within nature but a person outside

it. A person who entered the world He'd made so he could "reconcile to himself

all things," including you (v. 20). In this unpredictable world, you've got

one sure thing. Jesus will "present you holy in his sight, without blemish

and free from accusation" (v. 22).





Reflect & Pray



What frightens you?

How does Jesus' power over the world encourage you to pray and rest in Him?



Dear Jesus, I trust You today with whatever comes my way.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 7 - The Cost of Wisdom



Proverbs 4:4,7



Proverbs 4



4 (Pr 7:2; Eph 6:4) He also taught me and said to me,

"Let your heart retain my words; keep my commandments, and live.

7 (Mt 13:44-46) Wisdom is principal; therefore get wisdom.

And with all your getting, get understanding. "



4 He taught me also, and said unto me,

Let thine heart retain my words:

Keep my commandments, and live.

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom:

And with all thy getting get understanding.



Establishing priorities is a popular topic of conversation in our

generation. We carry appointment calendars and attend goal-setting

strategy seminars. We let machines answer our telephones so that

we won't miss any important messages, or so that we can screen calls

before we answer them. We order our lives so that we can "get ahead".

"Getting ahead" in God's kingdom, however, involves other priorities

than the ones we may set for ourselves. "Wisdom is supreme," the

principal thing, says Proverbs 4:7, "Get wisdom. Though it cost

all you have, get understanding."

Wisdom is defined as "an understanding of what is true, right, or lasting."

Biblical wisdom is not merely the accumulation of facts about God and his

teaching, but the application of those truths of life, taking on

the character of God as we mature in the image of Christ.

Such wisdom may, indeed, come at great cost. Jesus calls us to "lay

down our lives" to follow him - perhaps not literally to die, but to die

to self-centered priorities, to allow the Holy Spirit to establish

his value system in us.

"Keep my commandments and you will live," Proverbs 4:4 says. Real life -

rich, fulfilling, significant, abundant life - comes only through union

with God. The success offered by the world, the acclaim of others, material

prosperity and convenience cannot satisfy us once we have tasted

the joy of life with God in Christ.



Application



a) What does "getting wisdom" means to me?



b) What practical changes can I make in my life to help me focus

my attention on the priorities and values of the Lord?





4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:23-29



23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15) "If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.

The measure you give will be measured for you,

and to you who hear will more be given.

25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.

And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."



The Parable of the Growing Seed



26 (Mt 13:24) He said, "The kingdom of God is like a man

who scatters seed on the ground.

27 (Ecc 11:5) He sleeps and rises night and day,

and the seed sprouts and grows; he does not know how.

28 For the earth bears fruit by itself: first the blade,

then the head, then the full seed in the head.

29 (Joel 3:13) But when the grain is ripe,

immediately he applies the sickle because the harvest has come."



23 "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. "

24 And he said unto them, "Take heed what ye hear:

with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you:

and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,

from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should

cast seed into the ground;

27 and should sleep, and rise night and day,

and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade,

then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

29 But when the fruit is brought forth,

immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."
