http://www.ehc.ca



14th Day of the Month



a) Pray for God's kingdom to come

in your home, neighbourhood, city or community,

and in our nation ( Matt 6:10



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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.



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





)



b) Pray for those who serve with

denominations and Christian organisations

in Canada - that God will bless their ministry

and anoint them for effective service.



Eight) Day 20 - God’s renewal is both personal and cosmic.



Scripture: Revelation 21:5



5 (Rev 4:9; 20:11) He who was seated on the throne said,

"Look! I am making all things new." Then He said to me,

"Write, for these words are faithful and true."





[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And

he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

One of the principles of the Kingdom of God is often described

as the "already, not yet." It is a tension that every Christian lives in. We

are in this world, but we are not of it. We are alive, yet we have crucified

our lives with Christ. We are healed, yet we still need healing.



As 1 Corinthians 13:12 says, "For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;

then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully,

even as I am fully known."



As we near the end of our days of prayer and fasting, we may feel a tension

that we have not seen the answers to prayer we hoped for. Maybe we asked for

something dramatic, like a miracle. Or maybe, as we sought God, we expected to

feel something more, to overcome more, or to see clearer change.



In moments like these, I'm reminded of how Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew,

"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Even

Jesus was not satisfied with the brokenness of the world as it was. He longed

to see greater transformation, not only in the lives of His disciples, but in

the world itself.



In Revelation, we are given a picture of what is still to come, where Jesus

declares that He will make all things new. The things that remain unchanged,

unshaken, and untransformed will one day be made new by Him.



We don't always know which areas God will renew while we are still here on

earth. But we can trust that whether He does it now or later, the victory

is already His. Hebrews 12:12 reminds us,

"Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees."



Our confidence grows when we understand that God is actively working on

our behalf. He is doing a new thing. And He does not ask us to simply wait

until eternity to believe this. He invites us to trust that He is already at

work, doing something new in our lives, our families, our friends,

our church, our city, and in the world.

Personal Reflection Questions:



- Which area are you going to continue asking God to make new?



- When things get hard, how will you remind yourself

that God is doing a new thing?



Prayer Point:



- Pray for renewal to our church and community,

believing that God wants to transform lives now



- Pray for those who don't yet know Jesus,

that He would bring transformation through the gospel

Pray to the Lord and pray to love him with all your heart and all your mind.



Pray to the Lord: "Dear God, it's mind-boggling when we try to figure out the

concept of time, but please help me embrace that my times are in Your hands."



Pray to the Lord and pray to know that Jesus Frees you

from the condemnation of sin.



Pray to the Lord and pray to lay a foundation of righteousness.



Pray to the Lord and pray to know Him as healer.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 7 - Oh, Freedom!



Rom 8:1-2



Life in the Spirit



1 (1Co 1:30; 2Co 5:17) There is therefore now no condemnation

for those who are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 (1Co 15:45; Ro 6:18; Jn 8:32) For the law of the Spirit of life

in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.



The Spirit of God Within You

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free

from the law of sin and death.



In the classic movie, I want to live! actress Susan Hayward

plays a woman convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.

The suspense builds; the execution is delayed as the officials

wait for a word of pardon. Finally, the woman in executed;

the call comes, and the pardon has been granted, but it is too late.

When no pardon is granted, condemnation leads to death. Our sin

marks us as "guilty" before God, and we deserve the wages of sin,

which is death. But in Jesus Christ, the pardon does come - and

it comes in time. Our sin deserves condemnation by God, and yet

he forgives us because Christ paid the penalty for us,

But we face other kinds of condemnation as well - self-condemnation,

that internal accusation that we still, somehow, must pay the price

of our own sin. Others often condemn us as well, offering much less

forgiveness and mercy than God does. And the Enemy of our souls condemns

us, trying to convince us that we don't, after all, have real freedom

from sin.

Yet Paul tells us in Romans 8, "There is therefore now no condemnation

for those who are in Christ Jesus". God has forgiven us freely; he has

granted his pardon. And in light of his forgiveness, how can we live

under the condemnation of others - or even of ourselves?

We are free, Paul says - free from the "law of sin and death,"

free to live in the liberty of the Spirit. The stay of execution

has come: the pardon has been granted. Never again can we tried

for the same crimes: never again must we live under the burden

of condemnation.



Application



a) Have I ever lived under the burden of condemnation from myself

or others? Why?



b) How can Romans 8:1-2 help me live in freedom of such condemnation?





4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 37:25-26



25 I have been young, and now am old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor their offspring begging bread.

26 The righteous are gracious and lend,

and their offspring are a source of blessing.



25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;

And his seed is blessed.



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



When you are ill or injured



Matthew 8:14-17



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 2021 edition?)



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



Adding further





Pray for the Nuba in South Sudan



Hussein belongs to the Nuba K'walip people and lives as a refugee in

South Sudan with his mother and seven younger siblings. His father

died in the war. Life in mud huts without electricity or running water

is difficult, and disease is widespread.



Until about three years ago, Hussein was an average Muslim who

performed daily prayers with his neighbors. But then he heard about

Jesus through a Ugandan believer. It took a lot of patience and many

conversations to address Hussein's questions and misconceptions. Other

believers mobilized prayer for him. Eventually, he came to understand

who Jesus truly is and was baptized. Another Jesus follower walked

with him for a year in discipleship. Now, Hussein leads a small house

church among the Shatt, another Nubian people group who are largely

unreached.



One of the team writes: "This evening, I am on my way to the Shatt

house church with Hussein. The small group meets in the shade of a

house next to our school. Hussein reads the passage from Matthew where

Jesus is led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.

He then gives a short sermon. His friend, who is learning from him,

then leads the group in prayer. There are many prayers of thanks, and

Hussein and I go home feeling greatly encouraged."



On the way back home, Hussein has questions about the Bible passage he

read. He doesn't yet understand all of it himself, but he is hungry

for God's Word and has a heart for Jesus and the people here. His love

and faith in Jesus are evident to his friends, his family and his

neighbors.



How to Pray



Pray for wisdom, strength, and spiritual growth for Hussein and

other followers of Jesus.

Ask God to grow and multiply house churches among the Shatt

people.

* Pray that churches will be established amongst all the peoples who

are refugees in South Sudan.



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

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

DEUTERONOMY 12

The One Place of Worship

1 (1Ki 8:40) These are the statutes and judgments which you shall be careful

to observe in the land, which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given

you to possess, all the days that you live on the earth.

2 (2Ki 16:4; Dt 7:5) You must utterly destroy all the places where

the nations which you will possess served their gods, on the high mountains,

and on the hills, and under every green tree.

3 (Nu 33:52; Jdg 2:2) And you shall overthrow their altars, and break

their pillars, and burn their Asherah poles

Wooden symbols of a female deity.

with fire, and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods,

and eliminate their names out of that place.

4 (Lev 20:23; Dt 16:21-22) You shall not act this way toward

the Lord your God.

5 (2Ch 7:12; Dt 12:11) But you must seek only the place which the Lord

your God shall choose out of all your tribes to establish His name,

and there you must go.

6 (Dt 15:19-20) There you shall bring your burnt offerings, your sacrifices,

your tithes, the offerings of your hand, your vows, your freewill offerings,

and the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks.

7 (Dt 12:18; 14:26; Lev 23:40) There you must eat before the Lord your God,

and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your

households, where the Lord your God has blessed you.

8 (Jdg 17:6; 21:25) You are not to do all the things that we are doing here

today, where every man does whatever is right in his own eyes.

9 (Dt 25:19; 1Ki 8:56) For you have not yet come to the rest

and to the inheritance which the Lord your God has given you.

10 (Dt 11:31) But when you cross the Jordan, and dwell in the land

which the Lord your God has given you to inherit, and when He gives

you rest from all your enemies round about, so that you dwell in safety,

11 (Dt 12:5; 15:20) then there will be a place which the Lord your God

will choose to cause His name to dwell. There you must bring all that

I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes,

the offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow

to the Lord.

12 (Dt 12:7; 10:9) You will rejoice before the Lord your God, you, your sons,

your daughters, your male servants, your female servants, and the Levite

who is within your gates, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.

13 Be careful that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place

that you see.

14 (Dt 12:5; 12:11) Rather, in the place which the Lord will choose in one

of your tribes, there you must offer your burnt offerings, and there you

must do all that I command you.

15 (Dt 14:5) Notwithstanding, you may kill and eat meat within all your gates,

whatever your heart desires, according to the blessing of the Lord your God

which He has given you. The unclean and the clean may eat of it,

of the gazelle and of the deer,

16 (Ge 9:4; Dt 15:23) only you must not eat the blood.

You shall pour it on the ground like water.

17 (Dt 12:6; 26:14) You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain,

your wine, your oil, the firstborn of your herds or of your flock,

any of your vows which you vow, your freewill offerings, or the offering

of your hand.

18 (Dt 12:7; 14:23; 12:5) Rather you must eat them before the Lord your God

in the place which the Lord your God will choose-you, your son,

your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, and the Levite

that is within your gates-and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God

in all that you undertake to do.

19 Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you

live on the earth.

20 (Dt 19:8; 11:24; Ge 28:14) When the Lord your God shall enlarge your

border as He has promised you, and you say, "I will eat meat," because

you desire to eat meat, then you may eat as much meat as your heart desires.

21 (Dt 12:5) If the place which the Lord your God has chosen to put His name

is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock,

which the Lord has given you, as I have commanded you,

and you must eat in your gates whatever your heart desires.

22 Even as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you shall eat them.

The unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.

23 (Ge 9:4; Lev 17:11) Only be sure that you do not eat the blood.

For the blood is the life, and you may not eat the life with the meat.

24 You must not eat it. You must pour it on the ground like water.

25 (Ex 15:26; Dt 4:40) You must not eat it, so that it may go well

with you and with your children after you, when you do that

which is right in the sight of the Lord.

26 (Nu 5:9-10; 18:19) You shall take only your holy things which

you have, along with your vows, and go to the place

which the Lord shall choose.

27 (Lev 1:9; 1:13) You must offer your burnt offerings, the meat

and the blood, on the altar of the Lord your God,

and the blood of your sacrifices will be poured out on the altar

of the Lord your God, and you shall eat the meat.

28 Observe and hear all these words which I command you,

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

when you do that which is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.

29 (Jos 23:4; Dt 19:1) When the Lord your God shall cut off the nations from

before you, where you go to possess them, and you dispossess them,

and dwell in their land,

30 (Dt 7:16) take heed to yourself so that you are not ensnared by following

them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you not inquire

after their gods, saying, "How did these nations serve their gods?

Even so I will do likewise."

31 (Jer 32:35; Lev 18:3) You shall not do so to the Lord your God,

for every abomination to the Lord, which He hates, they have done

to their gods. They have even burned their sons and their daughters

in the fire to their gods.

32 (Dt 4:2; Jos 1:7) Whatever I command you, be careful to do it.

You shall not add to it or take away from it.



Deuteronomy 12

[1] These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in

the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all

the days that ye live upon the earth.

[2] Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye

shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the

hills, and under every green tree:

[3] And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn

their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their

gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.

[4] Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.

[5] But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your

tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and

thither thou shalt come:

[6] And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices,

and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your

freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:

[7] And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in

all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy

God hath blessed thee.

[8] Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man

whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

[9] For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the

LORD your God giveth you.

[10] But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your

God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies

round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

[11] Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to

cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command

you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave

offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:

[12] And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and

your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite

that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with

you.

[13] Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every

place that thou seest:

[14] But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes,

there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that

I command thee.

[15] Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates,

whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy

God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as

of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

[16] Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as

water.

[17] Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy

wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any

of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering

of thine hand:

[18] But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the

LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy

manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates:

and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest

thine hands unto.

[19] Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou

livest upon the earth.

[20] When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised

thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat

flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

[21] If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there

be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock,

which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat

in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.

[22] Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the

unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.

[23] Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life;

and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.

[24] Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.

[25] Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy

children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of

the LORD.

[26] Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take,

and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:

[27] And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon

the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be

poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.

[28] Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go

well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest

that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

[29] When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee,

whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest

in their land;

[30] Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after

that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after

their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I

do likewise.

[31] Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to

the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their

sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

[32] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add

thereto, nor diminish from it.

DEUTERONOMY 13



Idolatry



1 (Jer 27:9; 29:8) If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among

you and gives you a sign or a wonder,

2 (Dt 18:22; Jer 28:9) and the sign or the wonder comes to pass

concerning that which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us go after other gods,"

which you have not known, "and let us serve them,"

3 (Dt 8:2; 6:5) you must not listen to the words of that prophet

or that dreamer

of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love

the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 (Dt 10:20; 2Ki 23:3; 2Ch 34:31) You must follow after the Lord your God,

fear Him, and keep His commandments, obey His voice, and you must

serve Him, and cling to Him.

5 (1Co 5:13; Dt 17:7) That prophet or that dreamer of dreams must be put

to death because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the Lord

your God, who brought you out ofthe land of Egypt and redeemed you

out of the house of bondage, to entice you away from the way in which

the Lord your God commanded you to walk. So you must put the evil

away from your midst.

6 (Dt 28:54; 1Sa 18:1) If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son,

or your daughter, or your beloved wife, or your friend, who is as your

own soul, entices you secretly, saying, "Let us go and serve other gods,"

which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers,

7 namely, of the gods of the people who are all around you, near you

or far away from you, from one end of the earth to the other end

of the earth,

8 (Pr 1:10; Dt 7:16) you shall not consent to him or listen to him,

neither should your eye pity him, nor shall you spare or conceal him,

9 but you must surely kill him. Your hand must be first upon him

to put him to death, and afterwards, the hand of all the people.

10 (Jos 7:25) You shall stone him with stones so that he dies

because he has sought to entice you away from the Lord your God

who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

11 (Dt 19:20; 17:13) All Israel shall hear and fear and no more do any

such wickedness as this among you.

12 If you hear it said in one of your cities, in which the Lord your God

has given you to dwell, saying,

13 (Dt 13:2; 13:6) "Certain men, the sons of wickedness, are gone out

from among you and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying,

'Let us go and serve other gods,'" which you have not known,

14 (Dt 17:4) then you shall inquire, search out, and ask diligently.

If it be true and certain that such an abomination has been among you,

15 (Ex 22:20; Lev 27:28) you shall surely put the inhabitants of that city

to the sword, utterly destroying it, all that is in it and its livestock-with

the edge of the sword.

16 (Jos 8:28; Jer 49:2) You must gather all the spoils of it into the middle

of the street and burn the city with fire along with all the spoils within

it for the Lord your God, and it will be a heap forever.

It must not be rebuilt.

17 (Ge 26:4; 26:24) Nothing of the cursed thing there must cling

to your hand, so that the Lord may turn from the fierceness

of His anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you,

and multiply you, just as He swore to your fathers,

18 (Dt 12:25; 12:28) if you listen to the voice of the Lord your God,

to keep all His commandments which I command you today, and

do that which is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.



Deuteronomy 13

[1] If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams,

and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,

[2] And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee,

saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known,

and let us serve them;

[3] Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer

of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love

the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

[4] Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his

commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

[5] And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death;

because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which

brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you

out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD

thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from

the midst of thee.

[6] If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter,

or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul,

entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods,

which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

[7] Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you,

nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth

even unto the other end of the earth;

[8] Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall

thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal

him:

[9] But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to

put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

[10] And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath

sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of

the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

[11] And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such

wickedness as this is among you.

[12] If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God

hath given thee to dwell there, saying,

[13] Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and

have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve

other gods, which ye have not known;

[14] Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and,

behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is

wrought among you;

[15] Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of

the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle

thereof, with the edge of the sword.

[16] And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street

thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every

whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not

be built again.

[17] And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that

the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and

have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy

fathers;

[18] When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all

his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in

the eyes of the LORD thy God.



2) Our Daily Bread for 14 March 2026 titled

God's Timing by Kenneth Petersen



2 Peter 3:8-13



8 (Ps 90:4) But, beloved, do not be ignorant of this one thing, that with

the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 (1Ti 2:4; Hab 2:3; Heb 10:37) The Lord is not slow concerning His promise,

as some count slowness. But He is patient with us,

because He does not want any to perish, but all to come to repentance.

10 (Mt 24:35; Rev 21:1; 2Pe 3:7) But the day of the Lord will come like

a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with

a loud noise, and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat.

The earth also and the works that are in it will be burned up.

11 (1Pe 1:15) Seeing then that all these things are to be destroyed,

what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,

12 (2Pe 3:10; Ps 50:3; Isa 34:4) while you are waiting for and desiring

the coming of the day of God, in which the heavens will be destroyed

by fire and the elements will be consumed by intense heat?

13 (Isa 65:17; 66:22; Rev 21:1) But, according to His promise, we are waiting

for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.



[8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with

the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

[9] The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count

slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should

perish, but that all should come to repentance.

[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which

the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt

with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be

burned up.

[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of

persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

[12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the

heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with

fervent heat?

[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a

new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.



Until 1967, units of time were scientifically measured by astronomical

patterns: the spin of the earth and its revolution around the sun. But over

the centuries, a problem emerged. The earth is actually slowing down in its

orbit. Scientists discovered that the unit of the second is longer than it

used to be. Gradual though this is, since the days of Christ, the world

has "lost" a full three hours of measured time.



Of course, God created the ways we measure time: the astronomy of orbits and

revolutions. Scientists' calculations may be squishier than we'd thought,

but we can stand firmly in Peter's words: "With the Lord a day is like a

thousand years" (2 Peter 3:8). He is arguing against doubters who complained

that Jesus hadn't returned yet: "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,

as some understand slowness" (v. 9). God works in His own time for His own

purposes.



There's more! God's "timing" is born out of His love: "He is patient

with you, not wanting anyone to perish" (v. 9). Jesus will return,

and God wants everyone to have the opportunity to come to Him. This is an

expression of His love. Meanwhile, we're to "make every effort to be found

spotless" (v. 14).



Time, God, and love are linked together: In these last

days God's love is never squishy. It's the one sure thing.



Reflect & Pray



How does thinking of God and time affect your own life?

How might you live differently in light of this?



Dear God, it's mind-boggling when we try to figure out the

concept of time, but please help me embrace that my times are in Your hands.

Day 73, 14 March 2026



1) Deuteronomy 11, Deuteronomy 12, Deuteronomy 13



DEUTERONOMY 11



Love and Obey



1 (Dt 6:5; 10:12) You must love the Lord your God and keep His charge,

His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments always.

2 (Dt 5:24) Know this day that I am not speaking with your children

who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the Lord

your God, His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm,

3 (Dt 7:19) and His signs and His works which He did in the midst of

Egypt to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and to all his land,

4 (Ex 15:9-10; Ps 106:11) and what He did to the army of Egypt,

to their horses, and to their chariots, when He made the water

of the Red Sea to flow over them as they pursued after you,

and how the Lord utterly destroyed them,

5 and what He did to you in the wilderness until you came to this place,

6 (Ps 106:17; Nu 27:3) and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of

Eliab, the son of Reuben, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed

them up, their households, their tents, and everything that was in their

possession, in the midst of all Israel.

7 But your eyes have seen all the great deeds of the Lord which He did.

8 (Jos 1:6-7; Dt 31:23) Therefore you must keep all the commandments

which I am commanding you today, so that you may be strong and go

in and possess the land which you are going to possess;

9 (Ex 3:8; Dt 4:40) and that you may prolong your days in the land

which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them

and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 For the land which you are entering to possess

is not like the land of Egypt from where you came,

where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot

like a vegetable garden,

11 but the land, which you are entering to possess, is a land of hills

and valleys and drinks water from the rain of heaven,

12 (1Ki 9:3; Jer 24:6) a land for which the Lord your God cares.

The eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning

of the year even to the end of the year.

13 (Dt 4:29; 6:17) It will be, if you will diligently obey My commandments

which I am commanding you today, to love the Lord your God,

and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 (Lev 26:4; Dt 28:12) then I will give you the rain of your land

in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather

in your grain and your wine and your oil.

15 (Dt 6:11; Ps 104:14) I will provide grass in your fields for your

livestock, that you may eat and be full.

16 (Job 31:27; Dt 8:19) Take heed to yourselves that your heart

be not deceived, and you turn away and serve other gods and worship them.

17 (Dt 4:26; 6:15) Then the Lord's wrath will be inflamed against you,

and He will shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain

and the land will not yield its fruit, and you will quickly perish

from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

18 (Ex 13:9; 13:16) Therefore you must fix these words of mine

in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand,

so that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

19 (Dt 4:9-10; 6:7) You shall teach them to your children, speaking

of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way,

when you lie down, and when you rise up.

20 (Dt 6:9) You shall write them on the doorposts of your house

and on your gates,

21 (Ps 72:5; Pr 3:2) so that your days and the days of your children

may be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers

to give them, as long as the days of heaven on the earth.

22 (Dt 6:17; 10:20) For if you diligently keep all these commandments

which I am commanding you to do-to love the Lord your God, to walk in

all His ways, and to hold fast to Him-

23 (Dt 4:38; 9:1) then the Lord will drive out all these nations from

before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.

24 (Ex 23:31; Jos 14:9) Every place where the soles of your feet tread

will be yours. Your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon,

from the river, the River Euphrates, as far as the Mediterranean Sea.

25 (Ex 23:27; Dt 7:24) No man will be able to resist you, for the Lord

your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land

where you shall tread, just as He has spoken to you.

26 (Dt 30:1) See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

27 (Dt 28:1-14) the blessing if you obey the commandments of the

Lord your God, which I am commanding you today,

28 (Dt 28:15-68) and the curse, if you will not obey the commandments

of the Lord your God, but turn from the way which I am commanding

you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

29 Now it shall be, when the Lord your God has brought you into the land

which you are entering to possess, that you shall put the blessing

on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30 (Ge 12:6; Jdg 7:1) Are they not on the other side of the Jordan,

west where the sun goes down, in the land of the Canaanites,

who dwell in the plain opposite Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

31 (Dt 9:1; Jos 1:11) For you will cross over the Jordan to go in to possess

the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and you will possess it,

and dwell in it.

32 (Dt 12:32) You must be careful to do all the statutes and judgments

which I am setting before you today.



Deuteronomy 11

[1] Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his

statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

[2] And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not

known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his

greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

[3] And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto

Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

[4] And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their

chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they

pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;

[5] And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this

place;

[6] And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of

Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their

households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their

possession, in the midst of all Israel:

[7] But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

[8] Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this

day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to

possess it;

[9] And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto

your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with

milk and honey.

[10] For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land

of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and

wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

[11] But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and

valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

[12] A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God

are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the

year.

[13] And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my

commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to

serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

[14] That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first

rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine,

and thine oil.

[15] And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest

eat and be full.

[16] Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn

aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

[17] And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the

heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and

lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

[18] Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your

soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets

between your eyes.

[19] And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou

sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest

down, and when thou risest up.

[20] And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon

thy gates:

[21] That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the

land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of

heaven upon the earth.

[22] For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command

you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to

cleave unto him;

[23] Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye

shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

[24] Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours:

from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even

unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

[25] There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God

shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye

shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

[26] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

[27] A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I

command you this day:

[28] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God,

but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after

other gods, which ye have not known.

[29] And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in

unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the

blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

[30] Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth

down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over

against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

[31] For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the

LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

[32] And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set

before you this day.

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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



Adding further





Pray for the Pashtuns of Pakistan



Omed is a Pashtun and, many years ago, came to Germany as a refugee.

He received a Bible in the refugee camp. Friendly Christians cared for

him. When he almost despaired from loneliness, a friendly employee

from the government office helped him move into a shared apartment

with a group of Christians.



Here, Omed received answers to his questions about faith and accepted

Jesus as Savior and Lord. The Bible became his joy and comfort in

increasingly difficult times. He enjoys sharing verses from the Bible

to encourage others and bring them joy.



Omed has been living back in his homeland of Pakistan for several

years now. There, he cannot proclaim his faith loudly. But he lives

his close relationship with Jesus and inspires friends and relatives

to reflect. In the village, they respect him as a friendly role model.



Once, he was beaten for his faith. "Wait!" he said to the person who

was beating him, "Let me explain what I believe. If you're right, hit

me. If I'm right, leave me alone." After seeing his boldness, his

attackers left him alone.



One day, a highly respected Muslim leader asked Omed, "Are you a

Christian?"



Omed didn't want to deny his faith, but he also knew how dangerous

such a confession was. So, instead of a direct confrontation, so he

replied, "Look at the Christians. Do you know any Muslim who lives

such a good life? No? I'm thinking about it, dear brother! And you

should too!"



See also Pray for the Saraiki of Pakistan



Omed was grateful that he hadn't denied his Jesus, but he went home

sad anyhow. He has almost no spiritual fellowship because it would be

too dangerous for the Christian community and for him. But he remains

joyfully faithful to Jesus and proclaims him carefully and lovingly.



How to Pray



Pray for the more than 50 million Pashtuns worldwide, among whom

there are few followers of Jesus.

Pray for wisdom, courage, and God's protection for believers like

Omed.

Ask God for many joyful communities of Jesus followers to emerge

from amongst the Pashtun.



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

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

Scripture: Philippians 3:13–14



13 (Lk 9:62; Ps 45:10) Brothers, I do not count myself to have attained,

but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind

and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

14 (Heb 3:1; 1Pe 5:10) I press toward the goal to the prize of the high

calling of God in Christ Jesus.



[13] Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I

do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those

things which are before,

[14] I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in

Christ Jesus.

A few years ago, I heard a friend tell the story of Pepito, a little parakeet.

One day, while his owner was cleaning the cage with a vacuum, she went to

answer the phone and left the machine running. As a result, Pepito was

accidentally sucked in. Although he survived, his owner unknowingly exposed

him to more stress by bathing him in cold water and then trying to "revive"

him with hot air. My friend concluded that, from that day on, Pepito never

sang the same way again.



This story reminds us that painful experiences from the past can sometimes

affect our present and future. Many of us have faced loss, illness, betrayal,

or difficult circumstances that seem to leave a permanent mark on our lives.

However, as Christians, we have a different hope: our past does not have to

define us or limit what God wants to do in us.



The Apostle Paul teaches us in Philippians 3:13-14: "forgetting those things

which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in

Christ Jesus. "



Today, God invites us to leave behind pain, to forgive, to heal, and to look

forward with faith. Even if our wounds have been deep, we can trust that He

has a purpose for each of us. Just as Paul pressed on toward the goal without

getting stuck in the past, we too can live with joy, hope, and a renewed

heart, free in Jesus Christ.



---



Questions:



1. Are there experiences from your past that still keep you from forgiving,

healing, and moving forward in your spiritual life? How could you give them

to God to be healed?



2. How can you "forget what is behind" and focus your heart on the goal God

has for you today?



Prayer Point:



- Lord, help me to leave behind the hurts and mistakes of the past, to forgive

and heal, and to move forward in faith toward the life You have prepared for

me. Renew my heart and spirit so I can live with joy, hope, and freedom

in Jesus Christ.

DEUTERONOMY 10



The Essence of the Law



12 (Dt 6:5; Mic 6:8) Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you,

but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him,

and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13 (Dt 6:24) to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which

I am commanding you today for your good?

14(1Ki 8:27; Ex 19:5) Indeed, heaven and the highest heavens belong

to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it.

15 (Dt 4:37) The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them;

and He chose their descendants after them, even you above all people,

as it is today.

16 (Dt 9:6; Jer 4:4) Therefore, circumcise your heart,

and do not be stubborn anymore.

17 (Jos 22:22; Da 2:47) For the Lord your God is the God of gods

and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the fearsome God

who is unbiased and takes no bribe.

18 (Ps 68:5; 146:9) He executes the judgment of the orphan

and the widow and loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.

19 (Ex 22:21; Lev 19:33-34) Therefore, love the foreigner,

for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

20 (Dt 13:4; 6:13; 11:22) You must fear the Lord your God.

You must serve Him and cling to Him, and swear by His name.

21 (Jer 17:14; Ps 106:21-22) He is your praise, and He is your God,

who has done for you these great and fearsome things which your eyes

have seen.

22 (Ge 15:5; 46:27) Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy people,

and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars of heaven.



[12] And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to

fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to

serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

[13] To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command

thee this day for thy good?

[14] Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the

earth also, with all that therein is.

[15] Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose

their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

[16] Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more

stiffnecked.

[17] For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a

mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

[18] He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth

the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

[19] Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of

Egypt.

[20] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him

shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

[21] He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these

great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

[22] Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and

now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die."

10 He said to her, "You talk like one of the foolish women talks. Will we

indeed accept the good from God but not accept the adversity?" In all this

Job did not sin with his lips.

11 Three friends of Job heard about all this evil that had come upon him,

and each one came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the

Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They had agreed together to come to

mourn with him and to comfort him. 12 They saw him from a distance and did

not recognize him, so they wept aloud. Each one tore his robe, and they

tossed dust into the air above their heads. 13 Then they sat down with him

on the ground seven days and seven nights. Meanwhile, no one was speaking

to him at all because they saw that his pain was severe. (Are these

friends who will really comfort?)



[7] So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with

sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

[8] And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down

among the ashes.

[9] Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity?

curse God, and die.

[10] But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women

speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not

receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

[11] Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon

him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and

Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an

appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

[12] And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they

lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and

sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

[13] So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights,

and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.



"Daddy, my head hurts." "Daddy, I'm so cold." "Daddy, can you rub my feet?"



A high fever, chills, and body aches recently descended cruelly upon my

teenage daughter. She wanted me to make it better. But mostly she just

wanted me near. Eventually we took her to urgent care. "Virus," we were told.

Nothing to do but ride it out.



I sat with my sick girl for hours that day. Rubbing her feet. Getting her

medicine. Desperately wanting her to feel better. Occasionally, my selfish

side complained, This is hard. Indeed, it is hard to sit with people's

suffering, to witness their hurt up close.



Job's friends saw his suffering up close too. These three guys are

often - fairly! - criticised for their later poor treatment of Job. But it's

easy to forget that, initially, they simply sat with him: "They sat on the

ground with him for seven days and seven nights. No one said a word to him,

because they saw how great his suffering was" (Job 2:13).



Job's friends remind us that when someone we love is hurting, it's our

presence - our being there, whether we speak or not - that often matters most.

Their example reminds us that even though we may not always know what to say,

simply sitting with someone in their suffering may be the greatest gift we

can give.



Reflect & Pray



Who do you know who's struggling? How might you be present for them?



Heavenly Father, thank You for sending

Jesus to save our suffering world. Please help me to see those whom You might

have me encourage amid their struggles and pain.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 6 - It is Finished



John 5:24



24 (Jn 3:18; 1Jn 3:14; Jn 3:36) "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears

My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life

and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "



[24] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth

on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into

condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.



"PLEASE BE PATIENT - GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET,"

the sweatshirt read. In this case, the message was an ironic one,

for the occupant of the shirt was a snaggle-toothed, freckle-faced six year

old!

In one sense, God is not finished with the work he has to do in each of us.

Life in Christ is an ongoing process of change and growth as we become

more like him. Certainly, the more we see of ourselves, the more we hope

he isn't finished with us!

Yet whatever plans God has for making us into the men and women he created

us to be, certain aspects of our life in Christ are finished, finalised.

Jesus declares with absolute assurance, "whoever hears

My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life

and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "

Because we do not have to earn or deserve God's grace, because we are not

called to prove ourselves worthy of Salvation, we can have immediate

and total assurance of the security of life in Jesus Christ. The one who

put his trust in the Lord has eternal life; he will not be condemned;

he has crossed over from death to life.

This "crossing over" into life happens in the split second when we acknowledge

our dependence upon Christ alone. And the rest of our lives is given over to

the development of his image in us.

God is not finished with us yet.

But his work of salvation is finished - complete,

fully dependable an accomplished fact.



Application



a) Have I ever doubted the "accomplished fact" of my own salvation? Why?



b) How can today's verse help me realise that, although I may have a lot of

growing yet to do, my salvation in Jesus Christ is secure?



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

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,

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.

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

DEUTERONOMY 9



The Golden Calf



7 (Ex 14:11; 16:2) Remember, and do not forget how you provoked

the Lord your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that

you departed out of the land of Egypt until you came to this place,

you have been rebellious against the Lord.

8 Also in Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, so that the Lord

was angry enough with you to destroy you.

9 (Ex 34:28; 24:18; 24:12) When I went up into the mountain to receive

the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made

with you, then I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

I did not eat bread or drink water.

10 (Ex 31:18; Dt 10:4) The Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone,

written with the finger of God, and on them was written all the words

which the Lord spoke to you at the mountain out of the midst of the fire

on the day of the assembly.

11 (Dt 9:9) At the end of forty days and forty nights,

the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.

12 (Ex 32:7-8; Jdg 2:17) Then the Lord said to me,

"Arise, go down from here quickly, for your people whom you brought

out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They are quickly turned aside

from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molded image

for themselves."

13 (Dt 9:6; 10:16) Furthermore the Lord spoke to me, saying,

"I have seen this people, and indeed, they are a stubborn people.

14 (Dt 29:20; Ps 9:5) Let Me alone, so that I may destroy them

and blot out their name from under heaven,

and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they."

15 (Ex 19:18; Dt 4:11) So I returned and came down from the mount,

and the mount burned with fire, and the two tablets of the covenant

were in my two hands.

16 (Ex 32:19) I looked, and indeed, you had sinned against the Lord

your God and had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly

turned aside out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.

17 I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands

and broke them before your eyes.

18 (Ex 34:28; Dt 9:9) I fell down before the Lord, as at the first,

forty days and forty nights. I did not eat bread or drink water

because of all your sins which you committed, doing what was wicked

in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger.

19 (Dt 10:10; Ex 32:14) For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure

with which the Lord was wrathful against you to destroy you.

But the Lord listened to me at that time also.

20 The Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him,

so I also prayed for Aaron at the same time.

21 (Ex 32:20) I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it

with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small until it was as small

as dust. Then I threw the dust into the brook that descended down from

the mountain.

22 (Ex 17:7; Nu 11:34) Also at Taberah and at Massah

and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked the Lord to wrath.

23 (Ps 106:24-25) Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnea,

saying, "Go up and possess the land which I have given you,"

then you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God,

and you did not believe Him or listen to His voice.

24 (Dt 31:27) You have been rebellious against the Lord from the day

I knew you.

25 (Dt 9:18) So I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights;

I fell down because the Lord had said He would destroy you.

26 (Ex 32:11-13) I prayed therefore to the Lord, and said,

"O Lord God, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance,

which You have redeemed through Your greatness, which You have brought

out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27 Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Do not look at the stubbornness of this people or at their wickedness

or their sin.

28 (Nu 14:16) Otherwise, the land from which You brought us may say,

'Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land which

He promised them and because He hated them, He has brought them out

to slay them in the wilderness.'

29 (Dt 4:20; Ne 1:10) Yet they are Your people, Your inheritance,

whom You brought out by Your mighty power and by Your stretched-out arm."



[7] Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath

in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of

Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the

LORD.

[8] Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry

with you to have destroyed you.

[9] When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even

the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the

mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

[10] And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the

finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the

LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of

the assembly.

[11] And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the

LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

[12] And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for

thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted

themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded

them; they have made them a molten image.

[13] Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people,

and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

[14] Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from

under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than

they.

[15] So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with

fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

[16] And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and

had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which

the LORD had commanded you.

[17] And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake

them before your eyes.

[18] And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty

nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins

which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him

to anger.

[19] For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD

was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that

time also.

[20] And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I

prayed for Aaron also the same time.

[21] And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with

fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small

as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of

the mount.

[22] And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked

the LORD to wrath.

[23] Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and

possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the

commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to

his voice.

[24] Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

[25] Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell

down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

[26] I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy

people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy

greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

[27] Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the

stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

[28] Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was

not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he

hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

[29] Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest

out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.



DEUTERONOMY 10



The Second Pair of Tablets



1 (Ex 34:1-2) At that time the Lord said to me, "Cut out for yourself

two tablets of stone like the first and come up to Me onto the mountain

and make an ark of wood for yourself.

2 I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets

which you broke, and you shall put them in the ark."

3 (Ex 34:4; 25:5) So I made an ark of acacia wood and cut out two tablets

of stone just like the first and went up onto the mountain

with the two tablets in my hand.

4 (Dt 9:10; Ex 34:28; Dt 18:16) He wrote on the tablets

just like the first writing, the Ten Commandments which the Lord spoke

to you at the mountain out of the midst of the fire

on the day of the assembly, and the Lord gave them to me.

5 (Ex 34:29; 40:20) I turned around and came down from the mountain

and put the tablets in the ark which I had made,

and there they are, just as the Lord commanded me.

6 (Nu 33:38) (The children of Israel set out from Beeroth

of the sons of Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried,

and his son Eleazar ministered in the priest's office in his place.

7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah,

a land of rivers of waters.

8 (Dt 18:5; 21:5) At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi

to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord

to minister to Him, and to bless in His name, to this day.

9 (Dt 18:1-2; Eze 44:28) Therefore, Levi has no portion or inheritance

with his brothers. The Lord is his inheritance,

just as the Lord your God promised him.)

10 (Ex 34:28; Dt 9:18-19) As for me, I stayed on the mountain

like the first time, forty days and forty nights, and the Lord

listened to me at that time also. The Lord was not willing to destroy you.

11 (Ex 32:34; 33:1) The Lord said to me, "Arise, take your journey before

the people, so that they may go in and possess the land which I swore

to give to their fathers."



[1] At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like

unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of

wood.

[2] And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables

which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

[3] And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like

unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine

hand.

[4] And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten

commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of

the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.

[5] And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in

the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

[6] And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the

children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and

Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.

[7] From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath,

a land of rivers of waters.

[8] At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of

the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and

to bless in his name, unto this day.

[9] Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD

is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

[10] And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and

forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD

would not destroy thee.

[11] And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people,

that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers

to give unto them.

1) Deuteronmy 8,9,10



DEUTERONOMY 8



Remember the Lord Your God



1 (Dt 4:1; 5:32-6:3) You must carefully keep all the commandments

that I am commanding you today, so that you may live, and multiply,

and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers.

2 (Am 2:10; Ex 15:25) You must remember that the Lord your God led

you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you,

and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would

keep His commandments or not.

3 (Mt 4:4; Lk 4:4; Ex 16:2-3) He humbled you and let you suffer hunger,

and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know,

that He might make you know that man does not live by bread alone;

but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

4 (Dt 29:5; Ne 9:21) Your clothing did not wear out on you, nor did

your feet swell these forty years.

5 (2Sa 7:14; Pr 3:12) You must also consider in your heart that,

as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.

6 (Dt 5:33) Therefore you must keep the commandments of the Lord your God,

to walk in His ways and to fear Him. 7For the Lord your God is bringing you

into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs that

flow out of valleys and hills,

8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates,

a land of olive oil and honey,

9 a land where you may eat bread without scarcity, in which you

will not lack anything, a land whose stones are iron, and

out of whose hills you may dig copper.

10 (Ps 103:2; Dt 6:11-12) When you have eaten and are full,

then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land

which He has given you.

11 Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping

His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I am

commanding you today.

12 (Pr 30:9; Dt 28:47) Otherwise, when you have eaten

and are full and have built and occupied good houses,

13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply,

and your silver and your gold multiply,

and all that you have multiplies,

14 (Ps 106:21; Dt 8:11) then your heart will become proud and you will

forget the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt,

from the house of slavery,

15 (Nu 20:11; 21:6) who led you through that great and terrible wilderness,

where there were fiery serpents and scorpions and drought,

where there was no water, who brought forth for you water

out of the rock of flint,

16 (Ex 16:15; Dt 8:3) who fed you in the wilderness with manna,

which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you

and that He might prove you, to do good for you in the end.

17 (Dt 9:4) Otherwise, you may say in your heart,

"My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth."

18 (Pr 10:22; Hos 2:8) 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.

19 (Dt 4:26) If you ever forget the Lord your God

and go after other gods and serve them and worship them,

then I testify against you today that you will surely perish.

20 (Da 9:11-12) Just like the nations which the Lord will

destroy before you, so shall you perish because you would

not be obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.



[1] All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to

do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the

LORD sware unto your fathers.

[2] And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee

these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to

know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments,

or no.

[3] And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with

manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might

make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that

proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

[4] Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these

forty years.

[5] Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his

son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

[6] Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk

in his ways, and to fear him.

[7] For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of

water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

[8] A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates;

a land of oil olive, and honey;

[9] A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not

lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills

thou mayest dig brass.

[10] When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy

God for the good land which he hath given thee.

[11] Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his

commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this

day:

[12] Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses,

and dwelt therein;

[13] And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold

is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

[14] Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which

brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

[15] Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were

fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who

brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

[16] Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not,

that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at

thy latter end;

[17] And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath

gotten me this wealth.

[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.

[19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk

after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you

this day that ye shall surely perish.

[20] As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye

perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your

God.



DEUTERONOMY 9



Not Because of Righteousness



1 (Dt 4:38; 1:28) Hear, O Israel! You are to cross over the Jordan today,

to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than you, great cities

fortified up to heaven,

2 (Nu 13:22) a great and tall people, the children of the Anakites,

whom you know and of whom you have heard it said,

"Who can stand before the children of Anak?"

3 (Dt 4:24; Jos 3:11) Understand therefore today that the Lord your God

is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He shall destroy

them and shall bring them down before you, so that you drive them out

and destroy them quickly, as the Lord has spoken to you.

4 (Dt 8:17; 12:31) Do not say in your heart, after the Lord your God

has driven them out before you,

"On account of my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to possess

this land," but it is because of the wickedness of these nations

the Lord is driving them out before you.

5 (Titus 3:5; Ge 12:7) It is not because of your righteousness

or the uprightness of your heart that you enter to possess their land,

but because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God

drives them out before you, and that He may fulfill the word which

the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

6 (Dt 9:13; 10:16) Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God

is not giving you this good land to possess on account of your

righteousness, for you are a stubborn people.



[1] Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to

possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced

up to heaven,

[2] A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest,

and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!

[3] Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth

over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall

bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy

them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

[4] Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast

them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath

brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations

the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

[5] Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost

thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the

LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform

the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

[6] Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good

land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

2) Our Daily Bread for 12 March 2026 titled The Cost

of Commitment by Xochitl Dixon



2 Timothy 1:6-14



6 (1Ti 4:14; 1Th 5:19) Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God,

which is in you by the laying on of my hands.

7 (Ro 8:15; Ac 1:8) For God has not given us the spirit of fear,

but of power, and love, and self-control.

8 (Mk 8:38; Eph 3:1) So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,

nor of me, His prisoner. But share in the sufferings of the gospel

by the power of God,

9 (Ro 16:25; Titus 1:2) who has saved us and called us with a holy calling,

not by our works, but by His own purpose and grace, which was given us

in Christ Jesus before the world began,

10 (Ro 2:7; 16:26) but is now revealed by the appearing of our Saviour,

Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and has brought life

and immortality to light through the gospel,

11 (1Ti 2:7) for which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle,

and a teacher of the Gentiles.

12 (2Ti 1:8; 1Ti 6:20; 1Pe 4:19) For these things I suffer, but I am not

ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is

able to keep that which I have committed to Him until that Day.

13 (1Ti 1:14; Titus 1:9) Follow the pattern of sound teaching

which you have heard from me in the faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

14 (Ro 8:9; 1Ti 6:20) Guard the treasure that was committed to you through

the Holy Spirit who lives in us.



[6] Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God,

which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

[7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love,

and of a sound mind.

[8] Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me

his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel

according to the power of God;

[9] Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to

our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in

Christ Jesus before the world began,

[10] But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ,

who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light

through the gospel:

[11] Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of

the Gentiles.

[12] For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not

ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able

to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

[13] Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in

faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

[14] That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost

which dwelleth in us.



A group of twenty-two Christian leaders traveled half a day to secretly meet

and learn from a pastor who came from another country. If caught, the pastor

would be deported, and the others would spend three years in prison. Eighteen

of the twenty-two had already been imprisoned for their faith in Jesus.



After the pastor handed out fifteen Bibles he'd brought with him, one woman

gave hers to someone else. Like many others, she'd memorised chapters

of Scripture so she would have its wisdom secured in her heart if she were to

go to prison. She later asked the pastor to pray that their church would be

free to gather just like his. Instead, marveling at how they sacrificed,

suffered persecution, and risked imprisonment, he prayed that his church

would be just like theirs.



Believers around the world are persecuted for their faith in Christ, some more

severely than others. And all believers can be tempted to cower when the

stakes of living for Christ are raised. But the Holy Spirit enables us to use

our God-given gifts with "power, love and self-discipline" (2 Timothy 1:7).

God will help us share the gospel with boldness and compassion, wherever He

leads. Because of all He did for us (vv. 9-10), we can embrace the sacrificial

cost of commitment to Christ and preserve "sound teaching, with faith and love

in Christ Jesus" (v. 13).



Reflect & Pray



How have you sacrificed to seek and share Jesus?

Who will you share the gospel with today?



Mighty God, please deepen my commitment to

know You and boldly share You with others.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 5 - Starting Over



2 Cor 5:17



17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,

he is a new creature. Old things have passed away.

Look, all things have become new.



17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:

old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.



"The trouble with turning over a new leaf," Gordon sighed,

"is that once you've done it twice, you're right back where

you started." Gordon, in his mid-fifties, had his job

"canceled" by a company wanting to cut back on retirement payments.

Out of work, with few prospects, he said wistfully,

"I wish I had the chance to start over again."

Many of us would echo Gordon's sentiments. Whether we have lost a job,

gone through a divorce, moved to another part of the country, or

experienced some lesser crisis, we often long for the chance to

begin again, fresh, without the shadow of past mistakes following us.

God's word offers just such an opportunity. Anyone who is in Christ,

Paul says in 2 Cor 5:17, is a "new creation". For the Christian, the past

is truly past - "all things are become new". In the forgiveness

and restoration of God's grace we can leave the past behind,

with all its mistakes, and enter into new life.

And the promise is not just for the newly saved. Those of us who

have been Christians for years need to hear the truth of 2 Cor 5:17 again,

for we accumulated some "new mistakes" since we came to Christ. Anyone who

is in Christ is a new creation; the freedom of forgiveness, of

"starting over" is available to all who call upon the name of the Lord.

We cannot every really "start over" simply by establishing New Year's

resolutions or turning over a new leaf. Only God gives us that opportunity;

his grace allows us to clear away the rubble of the past and begin again.

Everything becomes new in God's loving forgiveness.



Application



a) What "resolutions" have I made in an attempt to "start over"

in some area of struggle or failure in my life? Did my resolutions work?



b) What does 2 Cor 5:17 mean for me at this point in my Christian Life?



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.

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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



Adding further





Pray for the Mamprusi of Ghana



Salisu knew that Islam meant peace and submission to Allah, but he

rarely saw this peace lived out. In reality, most people he knew were

plagued by fear of curses, enemies, retaliation and death.



Salisu studies in an Islamic academy but was unsatisfied by the

answers to his many questions. He struggled with the idea that Allah

would only accept prayers from someone who faced the Ka'aba to pray.



More than 450,000 Mamprusi reside in northern Ghana where Islam and

traditional African religions have formed a unique syncretism.



Salisu found a Bible and began to read. When he reached John 14, he

knew he had found his answers. The fact that Jesus died, rose again

and gives his followers a living hope were a sharp contrast to the

Suras in the Qur'an that talk about the death of the prophet of Islam

and his uncertainty about his eternal destiny.



When they heard about his beliefs, all of Salisu's friends and family,

including his ten siblings, were shocked. They tried everything to

dissuade him from following Jesus, but they were silenced by their

inability to answer his questions.



Now, Salisu often uses his knowledge of Islam to regularly share the

gospel with Muslim friends and countrymen and has seen fruit in his

witness. He believes the Bible offers answers to all the questions

asked by Muslims, the most important being the hope of eternal life.

He says, "Christ has completely transformed me and the anger I felt

against Christians has disappeared. I gladly share my story with

people of every faith. My heart is full of peace that has surpassed my

understanding."



How to Pray



Pray for the Mamprusi who are following Jesus. Many are suffering

and their lives are threatened. Some have lost their jobs and

property.

Pray that Mamprusi believers would support and encourage one

another.

Ask God to soften the heart of Mamprusi Muslims to hear the Gospel

and understand the truth about Jesus.



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

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



7) Prayers for the nation (Canada) coming from Prayer map of Canada



http://www.ehc.ca



12th Day of the Month



a) Pray that the Lord will put a desire in the hearts of those in business

to follow God's principles and act honourably and ethically



(Proverb 11:1



1 A false balance is abomination to the Lord,

but a just weight is His delight.



1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD:

But a just weight is his delight.



)



b) Pray the the Spirit of the Lord will restrain the spirit of

hatred and destruction against humanity across the world.



Eight) Day 18 - The new season is rooted in a new identity.



Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17



17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,

he is a new creature. Old things have passed away. Look, all things have

become new.



[17] Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are

passed away; behold, all things are become new.



---



I often find myself frustrated with the physical limitations my body

has - pain, exhaustion, sore muscles, old injuries flaring up - and so I can

relate with what Paul says earlier in 1 Corinthians 5, "While we live in these

earthly bodies, we groan and sigh...” (v. 4). These bodies we live in now are

our temporary dwelling places, until we go home to be with the Lord; they are

constantly reminding us of their imperfections here on this earth.



We may not get our new bodies for many years yet, but thanks to Jesus'

incredible sacrifice, we get a new LIFE. 2 Corinthians 5:14 says,

"Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all

died to our old life." We don't live for ourselves any longer, but for

Christ - and what does that mean? "We are Christ’s ambassadors..." (v.20). An

ambassador is someone who represents another entity - we represent Christ to

those around us, and we are called to a mighty task with the new life he has

given us: reconciling people to God.



This is not something we do by our own power, but through the Holy Spirit in

us and the new identity we have in Jesus Christ who redeemed us. By His mercy

and love, you are now God's own child and co-heir with Christ (Eph. 1:11),

chosen and united with Christ (Eph. 1:11), God’s masterpiece (Eph. 2:10),

a citizen of heaven (Phil. 3:20), holy and blameless (Col. 1:22),

righteous (Phil. 1:11), and the temple of the living God (2 Cor. 6:16).



Jesus came to reconcile us to our Heavenly Father, and for those of us who

have been shown this love and accepted this priceless gift, how can we keep it

to ourselves? God longs for ALL people to be reconciled to him, and gives us a

new life through His Spirit to help us do so.



---



Personal Reflection Questions:



- Are there any truths about your identity in Christ

that are hard for you to believe or live out?



- What do you think it practically means to be a "new person" in Christ?

Where have you seen evidence of that new life in your own journey?



Prayer Points:



- Pray for the new believers in Kids' Ministry - for their new lives

and identities to be built firmly on the solid foundation of Christ.



- Pray for the Kids' Ministry team - for renewal and encouragement

for current leaders and for more leaders to join the team.

DEUTERONOMY 7



The Chosen People



1 Dt 4:38; 31:3When the Lord your God brings you into the land which

you are entering to possess and has driven out many nations before you,

the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites

and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites,

seven nations greater and mightier than you,

2 (Dt 23:14; Ex 23:32-33) and when the Lord your God delivers them

before you and you strike them down, then you must utterly destroy them.

You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them.

3 (Ex 34:15-16; Jos 23:12-13) What is more, you shall not intermarry

with them. You shall not give your daughters to their sons

or take their daughters for your sons.

4 (Dt 6:15) For they will turn your sons away from following Me

to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lord will be inflamed

against you, and He will quickly destroy you.

5 (Ex 23:24; 34:13) But this is how you shall deal with them:

You shall destroy their altars and break down their images

and cut down their AsherimRebekah, Jacob's mother,

was an Aramean. and burn their graven images with fire.

6 (Dt 14:2; Ex 19:5-6; Jer 2:3) For you are a holy people

to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you to be

His special people, treasured above all peoples who are on the face

of the earth.

7 (Dt 10:22) The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose

you because you were more in number than any of the peoples,

for you were the fewest of all the peoples.

8 (Ex 32:13; Dt 10:15) But it is because the Lord loved you

and because He kept the oath which He swore to your fathers.

The Lord brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you

out of the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.

9 (Da 9:4; 1Co 1:9) Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God,

the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with them who love

Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations,

10 (Isa 59:18; Na 1:2) yet He repays those who hate Him to their face,

to destroy them. He will not be slack with him who hates Him.

He will repay him to his face.

11 Therefore keep the commandments and the statutes

and the judgments which I command you today, by doing them.

12 (Lev 26:3-13; Dt 28:1-14) If you listen to these judgments,

keep them, and do them, then the Lord your God shall keep

with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers.

13 (Jn 14:21) He will love you and bless you and multiply you.

He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land,

your grain, and your wine, and your oil, the increase of your herd

and the young of your flock, in the land which

He swore to your fathers to give you.

14 (Ps 127:3) You shall be blessed above all peoples.

There will not be male or female barren among you or among your livestock.

15 (Ex 15:26; Dt 28:27) The Lord will take away from you all sickness,

and will afflict you with none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know,

but will lay them on all those who hate you.

16 (Ex 23:33; Jdg 8:27) You must consume all the peoples whom the Lord your

God will deliver to you. Your eye shall have no pity on them, nor shall

you serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.

17 (Nu 33:53) If you say in your heart,

"These nations are greater than I-how can I dispossess them?"

18 (Ps 105:5; Dt 31:6) you shall not be afraid of them.

You must surely remember what the Lord your God

did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt,

19 (Dt 4:34) the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs,

and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched-out arm,

by which the Lord your God brought you out. So the Lord your God

will do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

20 (Jos 24:12) Moreover the Lord your God will send the hornet among

them, until they who are left and hide themselves from you perish.

21 (Dt 10:17; Jos 3:10) You must not be frightened of them, for the Lord

your God is among you, a great and awesome God.

22 (Ex 23:29-30) The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you,

little by little. You will not be able to destroy them all at once,

lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.

23 But the Lord your God will deliver them to you

and will throw them into a great confusion until they are destroyed.

24 (Jos 23:9; Dt 11:25) He will deliver their kings into your hand

so that you may erase their names from under heaven.

No man will be able to stand before you until you have destroyed them.

25 (Ex 32:20; Dt 17:1) You must burn the graven images of their gods with fire.

You must not desire the silver or gold that is on them nor take any of it,

lest you be snared by them, for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

26 (Dt 13:17; Lev 27:28-29) You shall not bring an abomination

into your house, lest you become cursed like it, but you must

absolutely detest and abhor it, for it is a cursed thing.



[1] When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest

to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and

the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites,

and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than

thou;

[2] And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt

smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them,

nor shew mercy unto them:

[3] Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not

give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

[4] For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve

other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and

destroy thee suddenly.

[5] But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and

break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven

images with fire.

[6] For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath

chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are

upon the face of the earth.

[7] The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were

more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

[8] But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which

he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty

hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh

king of Egypt.

[9] Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which

keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments

to a thousand generations;

[10] And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will

not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

[11] Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the

judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

[12] Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and

keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant

and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

[13] And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also

bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy

wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep,

in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

[14] Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or

female barren among you, or among your cattle.

[15] And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none

of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay

them upon all them that hate thee.

[16] And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall

deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou

serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

[17] If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how

can I dispossess them?

[18] Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD

thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

[19] The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the

wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD

thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people

of whom thou art afraid.

[20] Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they

that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

[21] Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among

you, a mighty God and terrible.

[22] And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little

and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the

field increase upon thee.

[23] But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy

them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.

[24] And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt

destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand

before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

[25] The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not

desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou

be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.

[26] Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be

a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt

utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

DEUTERONOMY 6



The Greatest Commandment



1 (Dt 4:1; 5:31) Now these are the commandments, the statutes,

and the ordinances which the Lord your God commanded to

teach you, so that you may observe them in the land which

you are crossing over to possess,

2 (Ex 20:20; Ps 128:1) so that you might fear the Lord your God

in order to keep all His statutes and His commandments which

I command you-you, and your son, and your grandson-all the

days of your life, so that your days may be prolonged.

3 (Ex 3:8; Ge 15:5) Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do it,

so that it may be well with you and so that you may multiply greatly,

as the Lord the God of your fathers has promised you in the land that

flows with milk and honey.

4 (Jn 17:3; Isa 42:8) Hear, O Israel: The Lord is our God. The Lord is one!

5 (Mt 22:37; Mk 12:30) And you shall love the Lord your God with all

your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

6 (Dt 11:18; 32:46) These words, which I am commanding you today,

shall be in your heart.

7 (Dt 11:19; Eph 6:4) You shall teach them diligently to your children

and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk

by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

8 (Ex 13:9; Dt 11:18) You shall bind them as a sign on your hand,

and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9 (Dt 11:20; Isa 57:8) You shall write them on the doorposts

of your house and on your gates.

10 (Jos 24:13; Ps 105:44) Then it shall be when the Lord your God

brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham,

Isaac, and Jacob, to give you great and fine cities,

which you did not build,

11 and houses full of all good things which you did not fill,

and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards

and olive trees which you did not plant, and you eat and are full,

12 then beware lest you forget the Lord who brought you

out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 (Dt 10:20; Mt 4:10) You shall fear the Lord your God

and serve Him and shall swear by His name.

14 (Jer 25:6; Dt 8:19) You shall not go after other gods,

the gods of the people which surround you

15 (Dt 4:24; Ex 20:5) (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you).

Otherwise the anger of the Lord your God will be inflamed against you

and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 (Ex 17:7; Mt 4:7) You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted

Him in Massah.

17 (Dt 11:22; Ps 119:4) You shall diligently keep the commandments

of the Lord your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which

He has commanded you.

18 (Dt 4:40; 12:25) You shall do what is right and good in the sight

of the Lord that it may be well with you and that you may go in

and possess the good land which the Lord swore to your fathers,

19 (Ex 23:28-30; Nu 33:52-53) to drive out all your enemies

before you, just as the Lord has spoken.

20 (Ex 13:14; 12:26) When your son asks you in time to come, saying,

"What do the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments mean

which the Lord our God has commanded you?"

21 (Ex 20:2) then you shall say to your son, "We were slaves of Pharaoh

in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

22 (Dt 4:34; Ps 135:9) And the Lord showed great and devastating signs

and wonders upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household

before our eyes.

23 He brought us out from there, so that He might bring us in,

to give us the land which He swore to our fathers.

24 (Ps 41:2; Jer 32:39) The Lord commanded us to do all these statutes,

to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve

us, as He has to this day.

25 (Dt 24:13; Ro 10:3) It will be our righteousness if we are careful

to keep all these commandments before the Lord our God,

just as He has commanded us."



[1] Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which

the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land

whither ye go to possess it:

[2] That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and

his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's

son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

[3] Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with

thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath

promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

[4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

[5] And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all

thy soul, and with all thy might.

[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

[7] And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk

of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way,

and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

[8] And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be

as frontlets between thine eyes.

[9] And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

[10] And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the

land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to

give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

[11] And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells

digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou

plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

[12] Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of

the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

[13] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his

name.

[14] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are

round about you;

[15] (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the

LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of

the earth.

[16] Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

[17] Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his

testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

[18] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the

LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess

the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

[19] To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath

spoken.

[20] And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the

testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God

hath commanded you?

[21] Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt;

and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

[22] And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon

Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

[23] And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give

us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

[24] And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD

our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at

this day.

[25] And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these

commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

DEUTERONOMY 5



The Ten Commandments

Ex 20:1-17

1 Then Moses called all Israel and said to them: Hear, O Israel,

the statutes and ordinances which I am speaking in your hearing today,

so that you may learn them, and keep, and do them.

2 (Dt 4:23) The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

3 The Lord did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us,

we who are living now and here today.

4 (Dt 4:33; 34:10) The Lord talked with you face to face on the mountain

from the midst of the fire.

5 (Gal 3:19; Ex 19:16) I stood between the Lord and you at that time to

declare to you the word of the Lord; for you were afraid because of

the fire and would not go up to the mountain. He said:

6 (Ex 20:2-17) I am the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the

land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

7 (Ex 20:3) You shall have no other gods before Me.

8 (Ex 20:4) You shall not make yourself any graven image, or any

likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth

beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth;

9 (Ex 34:7; 34:14) you shall not bow down to them, nor serve them.

For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity

of the fathers on the children, and on the third and fourth generations

of those who hate Me,

10 (Jer 32:18) but showing mercy to thousands of them that love Me

and keep My commandments.

11 (Lev 19:12; Ex 20:7) You shall not take the name of the Lord

your God in vain, for the Lord will not exonerate anyone who

takes His name in vain.

12 (Ex 20:8-11) Keep the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, just as the Lord

your God has commanded you.

13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

14 (Heb 4:4; Ge 2:2) but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.

On it you shall not do any work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter,

nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox,

nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor the foreigner

that is within your gates, so that your male servant

and your female servant may rest as well as you.

15 (Dt 15:15; 16:12) Remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt,

and that the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty

hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore your God commanded

you to keep the Sabbath day.

16 (Ex 20:12; Dt 4:40) Honor your father and your mother, just as the Lord

your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged,

and that it may go well with you in the land which the Lord your God

is giving you.

17 (Ex 20:13; Mt 5:21-22) You shall not murder.

18 (Ex 20:14; Lk 18:20) You shall not commit adultery.

19 (Ex 20:15) You shall not steal.

20 (Ex 20:16; 23:1) You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

21 (Ro 13:9; Ex 20:17) You shall not covet your neighbor's wife,

nor shall you covet your neighbor's house, his field, his male servant,

his female servant, his ox, his donkey,

or anything that belongs to your neighbour.

22 (Ex 24:12; 31:18) These are the words the Lord spoke to all your assembly

at the mountain out from the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick

darkness with a great voice, and He added no more. He wrote them on

two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

23 When you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the

mountain did burn with fire, you came near to me, all the heads of your

tribes, and your elders.

24 (Ex 19:19; Dt 4:33) You said, "See, the Lord our God has shown us

His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from

the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man,

yet he lives.

25 (Dt 18:16) Now, therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will

consume us. If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more,

then we will die.

26 (Dt 4:33) For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice

of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have,

and lived?

27 (Ex 20:19) Go near and hear all that the Lord our God will say.

Then speak to us all that the Lord our God will speak to you,

and we will hear and do it."

28 (Dt 18:17) The Lord heard the sound of your words when

you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me,

"I have heard the sound of the words of this people

which they have spoken to you.

They have done well in all that they have spoken.

29 (Isa 48:18; Dt 4:40) O that there were such a heart in them

that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments,

that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

30 "Go say to them, 'Return to your tents.'

31 (Gal 3:19) But as for you, stand here by Me, so that I may speak

to you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances

which you shall teach them, that they may keep them in the land

which I am giving them to possess."

32 (Dt 17:20; 28:14) Therefore, be careful to do as the Lord your God

has commanded you. You shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

33 (Jer 7:23; Dt 4:40; 10:12) You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord

your God has commanded you, so that you may live and that it may be

well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which

you shall possess.



[1] And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the

statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may

learn them, and keep, and do them.

[2] The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

[3] The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us,

who are all of us here alive this day.

[4] The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of

the fire,

[5] (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the work of

the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the

mount;) saying,

[6] I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from

the house of bondage.

[7] Thou shalt have none other gods before me.

[8] Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing

that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the

waters beneath the earth:

[9] Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the

LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

[10] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my

commandments.

[11] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD

will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

[12] Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded

thee.

[13] Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:

[14] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou

shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy

manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy

cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and

thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

[15] And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that

the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a

stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the

sabbath day.

[16] Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded

thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in

the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

[17] Thou shalt not kill.

[18] Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

[19] Neither shalt thou steal.

[20] Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.

[21] Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou

covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his

maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

[22] These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of

the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great

voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and

delivered them unto me.

[23] And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the

darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me,

even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

[24] And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his

greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have

seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.

[25] Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us:

if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

[26] For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living

God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

[27] Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak

thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will

hear it, and do it.

[28] And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and

the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people,

which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have

spoken.

[29] O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and

keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with

their children for ever!

[30] Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

[31] But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all

the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt

teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess

it.

[32] Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded

you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

[33] Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded

you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may

prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
