2) Our Daily Bread for 8 June 2026 titled Reciprocal

Generosity
by Kirsten Holmberg



Philippians 4:10-19



Acknowledgment of the Philippians' Gift



10 (2Co 11:9) I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived

your concern for me. Regarding this, you did care, but you lacked opportunity.

11 (Php 3:8; 1Ti 6:6-9) I do not speak because I have need, for I have learned

in whatever state I am to be content.

12 (2Co 11:27; 11:9) I know both how to face humble circumstances and how to

have abundance. Everywhere and in all things I have learned the secret,

both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 (2Co 12:9-10; Eph 3:16) I can do all things because of Christ

who strengthens me.

14 (Php 1:7) Nevertheless you did well having shared in my affliction.

15 (Php 1:5; 2Co 11:8-12) Now you Philippians know also,

that in the beginning of the gospel when I departed from Macedonia,

no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving,

except you alone.

16 (1Th 2:9) Even in Thessalonica, you sent aid once and again for

my necessity,

17 (Titus 3:14) not because I desired a gift, but I desire fruit that

accumulates to your account.

18 (Eph 5:2; Php 2:25-26) But I have everything and abound. I have been

filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you,

like a sweet fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

19 (Ro 2:4) But my God shall supply your every need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.



[10] But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of

me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked

opportunity.

[11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever

state I am, therewith to be content.

[12] I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and

in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to

abound and to suffer need.

[13] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

[14] Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my

affliction.

[15] Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when

I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning

giving and receiving, but ye only.

[16] For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

[17] Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your

account.

[18] But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus

the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice

acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

[19] But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory

by Christ Jesus.



When Melanie began having regular headaches, her doctors discovered she had a

benign tumor in her pituitary gland. The tumour was about the size of a plum

and was surgically removed in 2003 and again in 2006 when it recurred. Then in

2017, when it came back a third time, Melanie underwent radiation treatment

instead, which caused her to lose her hair. Her twenty-seven-year-old son,

Matt, decided to grow out his own hair to make a wig for her.



Matt's selfless, loving act illustrates how one person's abilities and

resources can supply the needs of another person or group. Paul highlights the

beauty of such reciprocal generosity in his letter to the Philippians. The

believers in Philippi had shared in his "troubles" and "sent . . . aid more

than once when [he] was in need" (Philippians 4:14, 16). Having received their

gifts, Paul recognised that God had provided amply for his needs.



Our willingness to share with one another is often the conduit of God's

provision in our lives. Sometimes we're in a position to give of our time,

talent, or treasure; other times we're in need ourselves and must rely on the

support of another. Through His Spirit working in us, our gifts are "pleasing

to God" and a manifestation of our shared life in the body of Christ (v. 18).



Reflect & Pray



When has God supplied your needs through another person?

How might He provide for someone else through your generous giving today?



Father God, thank You for providing for me.

Please help me share what You've given me as I

seek to cheerfully and generously help others.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 2 - Due Season



Gal 6:9



9 And let us not grow weary in doing good,

for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.



9 And let us not be weary in well doing:

for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.



Jackie's preschool class took on an exciting project: they were going to grow

flowers from seeds, Each child took the seed, planted it carefully in the

bedding soil, watered, and waited. But Jackie couldn't wait. Every day

for a week he ran to the window box, looked for his plants, poked, prodded,

unplanted the seeds and then planted them again. "It's no use,"

he pouted after the first week. "Nothing's gonna grow in there."

We live in an instant society - microwave dinners, quick fixes, easy answers.

We are conditioned by our environment to expect - even to demand -

immediate response, and when we have to wait,

we become impatient and irritable.

Paul's exhortation to the Galatians, "Let us not become weary in doing good,"

is as appropriate for twentieth-century believers as it was for the new church

at Galatia. We lose motivation when we don't see results,

and weariness sets in.

If our work does not seem to be producing as we hope, we want to abandon it

and move on to a new project.

But God says, "You will reap a harvest if you don't give up." We give up too

soon in our prayers for a loved one's salvation. We abandon hope too readily

when we don't see spiritual growth in our own lives, when our investment in

another's spiritual maturity seems to have no return. The Lord says,

"The harvest is coming; be patient; trust me."

In due season the harvest comes; when it's the right time. When the seed has

had time to germinate, when the roots are string enough, when the conditions

are right, the reaping time will come. But we must be willing to wait for

the due season, the moment of ripeness, when our labor brings its return.



Application



a) Have I ever felt that my spiritual labours have produced no harvest at all?



b) What does it mean to my own spiritual growth that there is a "due season"

for reaping the harvest?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 8:18



18 But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you

the ability to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant which

He swore to your fathers, as it is today.



18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee

power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto

thy fathers, as it is this day.



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



When you are lonely



PSALMS 25:15-21



15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for He will lead my feet from the net.

16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,

for I am isolated and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

18 Look on my pain and misery,

and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,

and they hate me with violent hatred.

20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!

Let me not suffer shame,

for I seek refuge in You.

21 Truth and integrity will preserve me

while I wait for You.



15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;

For he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;

For I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:

O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain;

And forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many;

And they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:

Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;

For I wait on thee.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

Day 159 of My 6th Bible Study Journey Part 4

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

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Day 159 of My 6th Bible Study Journey Part 2

Proverbs 20

1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging:

And whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion:

Whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife:

But every fool will be meddling.

4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold;

Therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water;

But a man of understanding will draw it out.

6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness:

But a faithful man who can find?

7 The just man walketh in his integrity:

His children are blessed after him.

8 A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment

Scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean,

I am pure from my sin?

10 Divers weights, and divers measures,

Both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.

11 Even a child is known by his doings,

Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye,

The LORD hath made even both of them.

13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty;

Open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer:

But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies:

But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger:

And take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man;

But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

18 Every purpose is established by counsel:

And with good advice make war.

19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets:

Therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother,

His lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

21 An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning;

But the end thereof shall not be blessed.

22 Say not thou, I will recompense evil;

But wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.

23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD;

And a false balance is not good.

24 Man's goings are of the LORD;

How can a man then understand his own way?

25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy,

And after vows to make enquiry.

26 A wise king scattereth the wicked,

And bringeth the wheel over them.

27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD,

Searching all the inward parts of the belly.

28 Mercy and truth preserve the king:

And his throne is upholden by mercy.

29 The glory of young men is their strength:

And the beauty of old men is the grey head.

30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil:

So do stripes the inward parts of the belly.



Proverbs 21



1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord,

as the rivers of water; He turns it to any place He will.

2 (Pr 16:2; 24:12; Lk 16:15) Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,

but the Lord weighs the hearts.

3 (1Sa 15:22; Pr 15:8) To do justice and judgment

is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4 (Pr 6:17) A high look, a proud heart,

and the plowing of the wicked are sin.

5 (Pr 10:4; 28:22) The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenty,

but of everyone who is hasty only to want.

6 (Pr 8:36; 13:11) The getting of treasures by a lying tongue

is a vanity tossed back and forth by those who seek death.

7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them,

because they refuse to do justice.

8 (Pr 2:15) The way of a guilty man is perverse;

but as for the pure, his work is right.

9 (Pr 21:19; 25:24) It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop

than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;

his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

11 (Pr 19:25) When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise;

and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

12 (Ps 37:35-36) The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked,

but God overthrows the wicked for their wickedness.

13 Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor,

he also will cry himself, but will not be heard.

14 (Pr 18:16; 19:6) A gift in secret pacifies anger,

and a concealed bribe strong wrath.

15 (Pr 10:29) It is joy to the just to do justice,

but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

16 (Ps 49:14) The man who wanders out of the way of understanding

will remain in the congregation of the dead.

17 (Pr 23:21) He who loves pleasure will be a poor man;

he who loves wine and oil will not be rich.

18 (Pr 11:8) The wicked will be a ransom for the righteous,

and the transgressor for the upright.

19 (Pr 21:9) It is better to dwell in the wilderness

than with a contentious and angry woman.

20 (Ps 112:3; Mt 25:3-4) There is treasure to be desired

and oil in the dwelling of the wise,

but a foolish man squanders it.

21 (Mt 5:6; Pr 15:9) He who follows after righteousness and mercy

finds life, righteousness, and honor.

22 (Ecc 7:19) A wise man scales the city of the mighty,

and casts down the strength of its confidence.

23 (Pr 12:13; 13:3) Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue

keeps his soul from trouble.

24 (Ps 1:1; Pr 1:22) Proud and haughty-scorner is his name,

who deals in proud wrath.

25 (Pr 13:4) The desire of the slothful kills him,

for his hands refuse to labor.

26 (Ps 37:26; 112:9) He covets greedily all the day long,

but the righteous gives and does not spare.

27 (Pr 15:8; Isa 66:3) The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;

how much more when he brings it with a wicked intent!

28 (Pr 19:5; 19:9) A false witness will perish,

but a man who listens will speak forever.

29 (Pr 11:5) A wicked man hardens his face,

but as for the upright, he directs his way.

30 (Jer 9:23; Ac 5:39) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel

against the Lord.

31 (Isa 31:1; Ps 3:8) The horse is prepared against the day of battle,

but victory is of the Lord.



Proverbs 21

1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,

As the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes:

But the LORD pondereth the hearts.

3 To do justice and judgment

Is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

4 An high look, and a proud heart,

And the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;

But of every one that is hasty only to want.

6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue

Is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them;

Because they refuse to do judgment.

8 The way of man is froward and strange:

But as for the pure, his work is right.

9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop,

Than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil:

His neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise:

And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked:

But God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor,

He also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger:

And a reward in the bosom strong wrath.

15 It is joy to the just to do judgment:

But destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding

Shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man:

He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous,

And the transgressor for the upright.

19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness,

Than with a contentious and an angry woman.

20 There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise;

But a foolish man spendeth it up.

21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy

Findeth life, righteousness, and honour.

22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty,

And casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue

Keepeth his soul from troubles.

24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name,

Who dealeth in proud wrath.

25 The desire of the slothful killeth him;

For his hands refuse to labour.

26 He coveteth greedily all the day long:

But the righteous giveth and spareth not.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination:

How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

28 A false witness shall perish:

But the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

29 A wicked man hardeneth his face:

But as for the upright, he directeth his way.

30 There is no wisdom nor understanding

Nor counsel against the LORD.

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle:

But safety is of the LORD.

1) Proverbs 19, Proverbs 20, Proverbs 21



Proverbs 19

1 (Pr 28:6) Better is the poor who walks in his integrity

than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

Proverbs 19

1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity,

Than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way:

And his heart fretteth against the LORD.

But the poor is separated from his neighbour.

5 A false witness shall not be unpunished,

And he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince:

And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.

7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him:

How much more do his friends go far from him?

He pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.

8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:

He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

And let not thy soul spare for his crying.

19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment:

For if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction,

That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

21 There are many devices in a man's heart;

Nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.

22 The desire of a man is his kindness:

And a poor man is better than a liar.

23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life:

And he that hath it shall abide satisfied;

He shall not be visited with evil.

24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom,

And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware:

And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.

26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother,

Is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.

27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction

That causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

28 An ungodly witness scorneth judgment:

And the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.

29 Judgments are prepared for scorners,

And stripes for the back of fools.



Proverbs 20

1 (Pr 31:4; Isa 28:7; Hos 4:11) Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging,

and whoever is deceived by it is not wise.

2 (Pr 8:36; 19:12) The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion;

whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own soul.

3 (Pr 17:14) It is an honor for a man to cease from strife,

but every fool will be meddling.

4 (Pr 19:15; 10:4) The sluggard will not plow because of the cold;

therefore he will beg during harvest and have nothing.

5 (Pr 18:4 ) Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,

but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6 (Ps 12:1; Lk 18:8) Most men will proclaim everyone his own goodness,

but who can find a faithful man?

7 (Ps 37:26; 112:2) The just man walks in his integrity;

his children are blessed after him.

8 (Pr 20:26; 25:5) A king who sits on the throne of judgment

scatters away all evil with his eyes.

9 (1Ki 8:46; Ecc 7:20) Who can say, "I have made my heart clean,

I am pure from my sin"?

10 (Pr 11:1; 20:23) Diverse weights and diverse measures,

both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

11 (Mt 7:16) Even a child is known by his doings,

whether his work is pure and whether it is right.

12 (Ps 94:9; Ex 4:11) The hearing ear and the seeing eye,

the Lord has made both of them.

13 (Pr 19:15; 6:9-11 ) Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;

open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

14 "It is bad, it is bad," says the buyer;

but when he has gone his way, then he boasts.

15 (Pr 3:15) There is gold and a multitude of rubies,

but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16 (Pr 27:13) Take the garment of him who is a pledge for a stranger,

and hold it as a security when it is for a wayward woman.

17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man,

but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.

18 (Pr 24:6; 15:22) Every purpose is established by counsel,

and with good advice wage war.

19 (Pr 11:13; Ro 16:18) He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;

therefore do not meddle with him who flatters with his lips.

20 (Ex 21:17; Pr 30:11) Whoever curses his father or his mother,

his lamp will be put out in obscure darkness.

21 An inheritance may be gained hastily at the beginning,

but the end of it will not be blessed.

22 (Pr 24:29; 1Pe 3:9) Do not say, "I will recompense evil";

but wait on the Lord, and He will save you.

23 (Pr 20:10) Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord,

and a false balance is not good.

24 (Pr 16:9; Jer 10:23) Man's goings are of the Lord;

how can a man then understand his own way?

25 It is a snare to the man who dedicates rashly that which is holy,

and after the vows to make inquiry.

26 (Pr 20:8) A wise king sifts out the wicked,

and drives the threshing wheel over them.

27 (1Co 2:11) The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord,

searching all the inward parts of the heart.

28 (Pr 29:14; 16:12) Mercy and truth preserve the king,

and his throne is upheld by mercy.

29 (Pr 16:31 The glory of young men is their strength,

and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

30 (Pr 22:15 ) The blows of a wound cleanse away evil,

so do stripes the inward parts of the heart.

Romans 12:4-8



4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,

and not all parts have the same function,

5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and all are parts of one another.

6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that

is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with

generosity; he who rules, with diligence;

he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.



4 For as we have many members in one body,

and all members have not the same office:

5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and every one members one of another.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that

is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according

to the proportion of faith;

7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,

on teaching;

8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let

him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;

he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Proverbs 18



1 (Jude 1:19) He who separates himself seeks his own desire;

he seeks and quarrels against all wisdom.

2 A fool has no delight in understanding,

but in expressing his own heart.

3 When the wicked comes, then comes also contempt,

and with dishonor reproach.

4 (Pr 20:5) The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters,

and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

5 (Lev 19:15; Pr 24:23) It is not good to favor the wicked,

or to turn aside the righteous in judgment.

6 A fool's lips enter into contention,

and his mouth calls for flogging.

7 (Pr 10:14; 12:13) A fool's mouth is his destruction,

and his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 (Pr 16:28) The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

and they go down into the innermost parts of the body.

9 (Pr 28:24; 10:4) He also who is slothful in his work

is brother to him who is a great waster.

10 (2Sa 22:3; Ps 18:2) The name of the Lord is a strong tower;

the righteous run into it and are safe.

11 (Pr 10:15) The rich man's wealth is his strong city,

and as a high wall in his own conceit.

12 (Pr 11:2; 15:33) Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

and before honor is humility.

13 (Jn 7:51) He who answers a matter before he hearsit,

it is folly and shame to him.

14 (Pr 17:22; 15:13) The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity,

but a wounded spirit who can bear?

15 (Pr 15:14) The heart of the prudent gets knowledge,

and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

16 (Ge 32:20; 1Sa 25:27) A man's gift makes room for him,

and brings him before great men.

17 He who is first in his own cause seems just,

but his neighbor comes and searches him.

18 (Pr 16:33) The lot causes contentions to cease,

and keeps the mighty ones apart.

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city,

and their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;

and with the increase of his lips will he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,

and those who love it will eat its fruit.

22 (Pr 19:14; 12:4; 8:35) Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing,

and obtains favor of the Lord.

23 (Jas 2:3) The poor man uses entreaties,

but the rich man answers roughly.

24 (Pr 17:17) A man who has friends must show himself friendly,

and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.



Proverbs 18

1 Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh

And intermeddleth with all wisdom.

2 A fool hath no delight in understanding,

But that his heart may discover itself.

3 When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt,

And with ignominy reproach.

4 The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters,

And the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

5 It is not good to accept the person of the wicked,

To overthrow the righteous in judgment.

6 A fool's lips enter into contention,

And his mouth calleth for strokes.

7 A fool's mouth is his destruction,

And his lips are the snare of his soul.

8 The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

And they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

9 He also that is slothful in his work

Is brother to him that is a great waster.

10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower:

The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city,

And as an high wall in his own conceit.

12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,

And before honour is humility.

13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,

It is folly and shame unto him.

14 The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity;

But a wounded spirit who can bear?

15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge;

And the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

16 A man's gift maketh room for him,

And bringeth him before great men.

17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just;

But his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

18 The lot causeth contentions to cease,

And parteth between the mighty.

19 A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city:

And their contentions are like the bars of a castle.

20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;

And with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue:

And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,

And obtaineth favour of the LORD.

23 The poor useth intreaties;

But the rich answereth roughly.

24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:

And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

We Are
by Marvin Williams



Ruth 1:11-18



11 (Ge 38:11; Dt 25:5) But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters.

Why would you go with me? Are there sons in my womb,

who could become your husbands?

12 Turn back, my daughters! Go, for I am too old to have a husband.

Even if I thought that there was still hope for me, that I could have

a husband tonight and give birth to sons,

13 (Jdg 2:15; Job 19:2) 1would you wait until they were grown?

Would you refrain from getting married? No, my daughters.

It is much more bitter for me than for you, for the hand of the Lord

has turned against me."

14 (Pr 17:17; 18:24) Then they raised their voices and wept aloud once more.

Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

15 (Jdg 11:24; Jos 24:15) Naomi said, "Look, your sister-in-law has returned

to her people and her gods. Return with her!"

16 (Ru 2:11-12) But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back

from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay,

I will stay. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.

17 (1Sa 3:17; 25:22) Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried.

May the Lord do thus to me, and worse,

if anything but death separates you and me!"

18 (Ac 21:14) When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her,

she said no more to her.



[11] And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are

there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

[12] Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an

husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to

night, and should also bear sons;

[13] Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them

from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your

sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

[14] And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her

mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

[15] And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people,

and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

[16] And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from

following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou

lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

[17] Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do

so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

[18] When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she

left speaking unto her.



A restaurant employee discovered an unconscious man beside a dumpster. He

was sunburned, bitten by ants, and showed signs of blunt force trauma. He had

no memory of who he was. The man, later self-named "Benjamin Kyle," lived in

limbo for more than a decade. He couldn't work, collect benefits, or even

reclaim his past. His healing began when a community of strangers helped him

rediscover his identity through genetic testing and investigation. "I have a

history," he said. "I'm not just some stranger that materialised out

of thin air."



The story of Ruth in the Bible can also be seen as one of rediscovered

belonging. After losing her husband and leaving her homeland, she chose to

bind herself to her mother-in-law Naomi and her people. She said, "Where you

go I will go . . . . Your people will be my people and your God my God"

(Ruth 1:16). Ruth connected her identity and destiny to that of Naomi

and her people in life and in death. She was "determined to go with her"

(v. 18)—prioritising community over clarity, belonging over certainty. In

doing so, she stepped into God's redemptive story and is remembered forever

as part of the lineage of Christ (4:18-22; Matthew 1:3-5).



When we as believers in Jesus forget who we are - or when life's pain leaves

us disoriented-God often uses community to reconnect us with our most

authentic identity. In Him we're beloved, chosen, and known.



Reflect & Pray



Who is God using to help you remember who you are in Him?

What does it mean to be known by Him?



Dear God, please help me remember who I am in You.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 1 Hard Bargain



Mark 11:24



24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,

believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.



24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,

believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.



"I've been praying." Jennifer declared confidently. " I told God I'd give him

a tithe of that $5000000 when I win the sweepstakes."

Her friend Cindi laughed. "Well, then, you don't have a chance. I told him

I'd give him half!"

Can we, as in Mark 11:24 seems to imply , pray for anything, absolutely

anything, and expect that the Lord will come through? Can we pray with

assurance for new cars, mink coats, or trips to the Caribbean? The verse

seems to be a troublesome one, especially when we try it and our prayers

aren't answered in the way we expected.

But seen in context, Mark 11:24 gives us a much broader picture of the

kind of prayer Jesus meant. The verse appears in the framework of

Jesus' ministry - cleansing the temple, correcting the Pharisees,

commanding forgiveness, discussing his authority. The condition for

the fulfillment of Mark 11:24, if Jesus' actions are any indication,

is fulfilling the will and purpose of God.

Such a condition for powerful prayers involves much more than attaching

am "If it be Thy will" clause onto the end of our prayers. We need to know

God's will and walk in it, seeking his kingdom first, and drawing close to

him. Then , as our hearts are right with him, what we ask in prayer

is likely to be congruent with the mind and purposes of Christ. We are

less likely to pray selfishly, and more likely to share God's priorities,

as we get to know him. And as we deepen in our knowledge of him,

as his will becomes our will, his promise for answered prayer takes

on new dimensions.

The Healing of Many People



Mk 1:29-34; Lk 4:38-41



14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother,

lying sick with a fever.

15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose and served them.

16 When the evening came, they brought to Him many

who were possessed with demons.

And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,

17 to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,

"He Himself took our infirmities

and bore our sicknesses."



[14] And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother

laid, and sick of a fever.

[15] And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and

ministered unto them.

[16] When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed

with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that

were sick:

[17] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,

saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



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

Day 158 of My 6th Bible Study Journey Part 2

Proverbs 16

1 The preparations of the heart in man,

And the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;

But the LORD weigheth the spirits.

3 Commit thy works unto the LORD,

And thy thoughts shall be established.

4 The LORD hath made all things for himself:

Yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD:

Though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged:

And by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

7 When a man's ways please the LORD,

He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better is a little with righteousness

Than great revenues without right.

9 A man's heart deviseth his way:

But the LORD directeth his steps.

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king:

His mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

11 A just weight and balance are the LORD's:

All the weights of the bag are his work.

12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness:

For the throne is established by righteousness.

13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings;

And they love him that speaketh right.

14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death:

But a wise man will pacify it.

15 In the light of the king's countenance is life;

And his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold!

And to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:

He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

18 Pride goeth before destruction,

And an haughty spirit before a fall.

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly,

Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good:

And whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent:

And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:

But the instruction of fools is folly.

23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,

And addeth learning to his lips.

24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb,

Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,

But the end thereof are the ways of death.

26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself;

For his mouth craveth it of him.

27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil:

And in his lips there is as a burning fire.

28 A froward man soweth strife:

And a whisperer separateth chief friends.

29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour,

And leadeth him into the way that is not good.

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things:

Moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

31 The hoary head is a crown of glory,

If it be found in the way of righteousness.

32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;

And he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

33 The lot is cast into the lap;

But the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD



Proverbs 17



1 (Pr 15:17) Better is a dry morsel with quietness

than a house full of sacrifices with strife.

2 (Pr 10:5; 19:26) A wise servant will have rule over a son who causes shame,

and will have part of the inheritance among the brothers.

3 (Ps 26:2; Pr 27:21) The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,

but the Lord tries the hearts.

4 A wicked doer gives heed to false lips,

and a liar gives ear to a wayward tongue.

5 (Job 31:29; Pr 14:31) Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker,

and he who is glad at calamities will not be unpunished.

6 Grandchildren are the crown of old men,

and the glory of children are their fathers.

7 Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool,

much less lying lips to a prince.

8 (Ex 23:8; Pr 17:23) A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him

who has it; wherever he turns, it prospers.

9 (Pr 10:12; 16:28 )He who covers a transgression seeks love,

but he who repeats a matter separates friends.

10 A reproof enters deeper into a wise man

than a hundred stripes into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion;

therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 (2Sa 17:8; Hos 13:8) Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs

rather than a fool in his folly.

13 (Ps 35:12 )Whoever rewards evil for good,

evil will not depart from his house.

14 (Pr 20:3; 25:8) The beginning of strife is as when one lets out water;

therefore abandon contention before a quarrel starts.

15 (Ex 23:7; Isa 5:23) He who justifies the wicked,

and he who condemns the just,

both of them are abomination to the Lord.

16 (Pr 23:23) Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,

seeing he has no heart for it?

17 (Pr 18:24; Ru 1:16 ) A friend loves at all times,

and a brother is born for adversity.

18 (Pr 11:15; 6:1-5 ) A man void of understanding shakes hands,

and becomes a pledge in the presence of his friend.

19 (Pr 16:18) He loves transgression who loves strife,

and he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

20 He who has a deceitful heart finds no good,

and he who has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.

21 (Pr 10:1; 19:13) He who fathers a fool does it to his sorrow,

and the father of a fool has no joy.

22 (Pr 15:13; Ps 22:15; Pr 12:25) A merry heart does good like a medicine,

but a broken spirit dries the bones.

23 (Ex 23:8; Pr 17:8) A wicked man takes a bribe out of a hidden place

to pervert the ways of judgment.

24 (Ecc 2:14; Pr 14:6) Wisdom is before him who has understanding,

but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

25 (Pr 10:1; 19:13) A foolish son is a grief to his father,

and bitterness to her who bore him.

26 (Pr 17:15; 18:5) Also to punish the just is not good,

nor to strike princes for their uprightness.

27 (Jas 1:19; Pr 10:19) He who has knowledge spares his words,

and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 (Job 13:5) Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise;

and he who shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.



Proverbs 17

1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith,

Than an house full of sacrifices with strife.

2 A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame,

And shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold:

But the LORD trieth the hearts.

4 A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips;

And a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue.

5 Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker:

And he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.

6 Children's children are the crown of old men;

And the glory of children are their fathers.

7 Excellent speech becometh not a fool:

Much less do lying lips a prince.

8 A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it:

Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth.

9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;

But he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

10 A reproof entereth more into a wise man

Than an hundred stripes into a fool.

11 An evil man seeketh only rebellion:

Therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

12 Let a bear robbed of her whelps meet a man,

Rather than a fool in his folly.

13 Whoso rewardeth evil for good,

Evil shall not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water:

Therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.

15 He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just,

Even they both are abomination to the LORD.

16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,

Seeing he hath no heart to it?

17 A friend loveth at all times,

And a brother is born for adversity.

18 A man void of understanding striketh hands,

And becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

19 He loveth transgression that loveth strife:

And he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.

20 He that hath a froward heart findeth no good:

And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.

21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:

And the father of a fool hath no joy.

22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:

But a broken spirit drieth the bones.

23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom

To pervert the ways of judgment.

24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;

But the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father,

And bitterness to her that bare him.

26 Also to punish the just is not good,

Nor to strike princes for equity.

27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words:

And a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:

And he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

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.

God's Provision
by Elisa Morgan



Psalm 23:1-6



Psalms 23

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside still waters.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He restores my soul;

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for His name's sake.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff,

they comfort me.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup runs over.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.



Psalm 23

[1] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

[2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the

still waters.

[3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for

his name's sake.

[4] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will

fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

[5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou

anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I

will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.



I was putting my grandson to bed during a sleepover. When his Bible bookmark

opened to Psalm 23, he objected, "We already read this one." After I suggested

we might learn something new, he read aloud, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack

nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastries." Green pastries?! I explained

that the word was pastures, not pastries. Hours earlier, he'd stood before a

bakery shelf, selecting treats. His interpretation came into focus:

To him, a bakery conveyed a place of rest and enjoyment.



Psalm 23 may be so familiar to us that we miss its deep offering. David, a

king well acquainted with shepherding, describes God's provision over a

lifetime of things both idyllic (vv. 5-6) and challenging (v. 4). He points

out that our good God leads us to places where we can partake of His presence,

be rejuvenated, and prepare for what will come. "Green pastures" (v. 1) and

"quiet waters" (v. 2) are such dwellings for sheep,

and we are God's sheep (v. 1).



My grandson's innocent interpretation opened my eyes to the "green pastures"

God provides for me—places of rest and enjoyment in everyday life where He

restores me. A gold-hued sunset. A verdant field. A quiet corner. A bakery

shelf of green pastries, wafting out delight.

I'm so glad we read Psalm 23 again!



Reflect & Pray



What unexpected "green pasture" moment have you experienced?

How does Psalm 23 invite you into the provision of God’s presence?



Dear God, please open my eyes to the "green pasture"

moments You provide. Help me to enter Your presence each day.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 7 Our God reigns!



Is 52:7



7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,

who proclaims peace, who brings good news of happiness,

who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"



7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good

tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that

publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!



A messenger has a single duty: to carry information. During World War II, many

parents dreaded the arrival of the Western Union messenger, believing that

delivery of a telegram meant that their son has been wounded or killed.

Isaiah 52:7, however, indicates that a messenger's word is not always

unwelcome. "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring

good news ..." the prophet says. The "Good news"? Peace , salvation,

and the resultant message: "Your God reigns!"

Our God reigns - in forgiveness, in reconciliation, bringing peace and freedom

and joy. Our God reigns, controlling our lives with a loving hand, ordering

our experiences for our good, and his glory. Our God reigns in relationships,

in professional circumstances, in families, in churches. The good news is

proclaimed: Life is not unmanageable. Our God Reigns!

When we know that God reigns in our lives, we can relax, let go of the reins

of control, and live in peace. We can forgive those who have hurt us, knowing

that God will reveal to them what they need to know. We can live

with good times and bad, recognising that God uses every circumstance

of our lives to conform us to the image of his Son. We can rejoice in his

grace, free from the compulsion to earn his love and acceptance, and

we can live in the peace that comes only through his lordship in our lives.

Our God reigns - that is , indeed "Good news".



Application



a) Have I ever felt that life was "out of control"? Why?



b) What does it mean in practical terms to know that "Our God reigns"?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Is 55:11



11 (Isa 45:23; 46:10) so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.



11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.



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



When you are ill or injured



James 5:13-16



13 (Ps 50:15; Eph 5:19) Is anyone among you suffering?

Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms.

14 (Mk 6:13; 16:18; Ac 14:23) Is anyone sick among you?

Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord.

15 (Isa 33:24; Jas 1:6) And the prayer of faith will save

the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

16 (Ge 20:17; 18:23-32) Confess your faults to one another

and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.



13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.

Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise

him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,

that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

availeth much.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

Proverbs 11

1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD:

But a just weight is his delight.

2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame:

But with the lowly is wisdom.

3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them:

But the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.

4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath:

But righteousness delivereth from death.

5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way:

But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

6 The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them:

But transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.

7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish:

And the hope of unjust men perisheth.

8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble,

And the wicked cometh in his stead.

9 An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:

But through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:

And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:

But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

12 He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour:

But a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

13 A talebearer revealeth secrets:

But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

14 Where no counsel is, the people fall:

But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it:

And he that hateth suretiship is sure.

16 A gracious woman retaineth honour:

And strong men retain riches.

17 The merciful man doeth good to his own soul:

But he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh.

18 The wicked worketh a deceitful work:

But to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

19 As righteousness tendeth to life:

So he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

20 They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD:

But such as are upright in their way are his delight.

21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished:

But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.

22 As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout,

So is a fair woman which is without discretion.

23 The desire of the righteous is only good:

But the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;

And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat:

And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him:

But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour:

But he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:

But the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:

And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;

And he that winneth souls is wise.

31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:

Much more the wicked and the sinner.

and in its pathway there is no death.

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 5 June 2026 titled

Running to God in Prayer
by Nancy Gavilanes



Jonah 2:1-10



1 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish.

2 He said:

"I called to the Lord out of my distress,

and He answered me.

Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,

and You heard my voice.

3 You cast me into the deep,

into the heart of the seas,

and the flood surrounded me.

All Your billows and Your waves

passed over me.

4 Then I said, 'I am cast away

from Your sight;

yet I will look again

to Your holy temple.'

5 The waters encompassed me; even to my soul

the deep surrounded me;

weeds were wrapped around my head.

6 I went down to the foundations of the mountains;

the earth with its bars was around me forever;

yet You have brought up my life from the pit,

O Lord my God.

7 "When my life was ebbing away,

I remembered the Lord;

and my prayer came to You,

into Your holy temple.

8 "Those who follow vain idols

forsake their true loyalty.

9 But I will sacrifice to You

with the voice of thanksgiving;

I will pay what I have vowed.

Salvation is of the Lord!"

10 Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon dry land.



[1] Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

[2] And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he

heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

[3] For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the

floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

[4] Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward

thy holy temple.

[5] The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me

round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

[6] I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was

about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD

my God.

[7] When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer

came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

[8] They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

[9] But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will

pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.

[10] And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry

land.



One moment Adrián Simancas was kayaking in the Strait of Magellan in Chile

with his father. The next, the twenty-four-year-old was engulfed in the mouth

of a humpback whale. "I thought I was dead," Adrián told a news outlet. After

a few seconds, the whale released Adrián into the frigid waters. His life vest

caused him to float to the water's surface, and his father helped him

to safety.



The Old Testament prophet Jonah also had an encounter with a large sea

creature. Jonah refused to follow God's directive to preach a message of

repentance to the Israelites' enemies, the Ninevites, so he boarded a ship in

the opposite direction of Nineveh. When the ship got caught in a storm, Jonah

convinced the crew to throw him overboard (Jonah 1:11-12, 15). "Now the Lord

provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish

three days and three nights" (v. 17). Jonah went from fleeing from God to

crying out to Him: "From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God"

(2:1).



God heard Jonah and rescued him (v. 10). Then Jonah preached to the Ninevites,

and they repented (3:8-10).



If God could hear Jonah's plea from inside a big fish, He can hear us and

rescue us from wherever we are. Instead of running from God, let's run to Him

in prayer, knowing that He will answer us when we cry out to Him.



Reflect & Pray



Why do you sometimes run from God? How can you run to Him today?



Dear God, thank You for the rescue You alone provide.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 6 Reconciliation



2 Cor 5:18-19



18 All this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ

and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation,

19 that is, that God was

in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their sins

against them, and has entrusted to us the message of reconciliation.



18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus

Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,

not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us

the word of reconciliation.



When Paul writes in 2 Cor 5:17 that we become a "new creation" in Christ

Jesus, the story does not end there. The verses following give us direction

for tht new life in Christ. "All This", Paul says, referring to the miracle of

new life in Christ, "is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ

and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."

Reconciliation means to bring back together what was once separated. Man was

separated from God by sin, and God took the initiative to reconcile man to

himself. Our "ministry of reconciliation" as Christians is twofold: to draw

others to the Lord and to work for reconciliation between individuals.

Reconciliation is the ultimate goal of forgiveness. God, through his grace ,

extends forgiveness to us when we are still sinners, unrepentant,

undeserving. When we respond, we come into reconciliation with him

and are brought back into oneness. Likewise, when we extend the grace

of forgiveness to another, we are set free by the act of forgiving, but we

hope that the ultimate outcome will be reconciliation.

God shows us the pattern: he is the wronged party, yet he does not wait for

the offender to come to him, hat in hand. He takes a bold initiative, offering

forgiveness freely with out regard to merit. The pattern applies to us;

as the new life in Christ takes hold of us, we must reach out, and reach,

and keep on reaching, breaking down the barriers, taking the risk of

rejection so that we may come to reconciliation.



Application



a) What barriers stand between me and reconciliation with another person?



b) How can I take a risk and reach out to offer forgiveness and

reconciliation to them?



c) What kind of attitude do I need to be a "minister of reconciliation"?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Deut 29:9



9 (Dt 4:6; Jos 1:7)Therefore, keep the words of this covenant

and do them, so that you may prosper in all you do.



9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,

that ye may prosper in all that ye do.



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



When you are ill or injured



Psalm 103:1-5



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.



1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

Who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;

So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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