5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Facing Pain and Suffering
Ps 9:9-12
9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
a refuge in times of trouble.
10 Those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion;
declare His deeds among the people.
12 He who avenges deaths remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the humble.
Waw
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
Zain
11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:
Declare among the people his doings.
12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:
He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
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
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

1 Chron 6:54-81
54 Now these are their dwelling places throughout their castles in their

was the lot.
55 And they gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, and the suburbs thereof
round about it.
56 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb
the son of Jephunneh.
57 And to the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of Judah, namely, Hebron,

2) Our Daily Bread for 27 March 2026 titled
God in the Details
Deuteronomy 29:5
5 (Dt 8:4; 1:3) I have led you forty years in the wilderness.
Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal
has not worn out on your foot.
[5] And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not
waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
Nehemiah 9:19-21
19 (Ne 9:12; 9:27) yet You in Your great mercy did not forsake them
in the wilderness: The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day,
to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them
the way they should go.
[19] Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness:
the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the
way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way
wherein they should go.
20 (Nu 11:17; Ex 16:15) You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them,
did not withhold Your manna from their mouth, and gave them water
for their thirst.
21 (Dt 2:7; 8:4) Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness,
so that they lacked nothing-their clothing did not wear out
nor did their feet swell.
[20] Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not
thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
[21] Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that
they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
My niece, a college freshman, was busy with schoolwork and adjusting to a new
residence. Because of recent security issues, her school required a vehicle
pass. Since applying for this would be one more task on her long to-do list, I
offered to do it. "Thanks!" she later said, surprised it had taken me only
minutes in the campus office.
What she didn't know was that the otherwise simple task had taken half a day
of coordinating with the office, fixing a glitch in her application, and
gathering unexpected documents. But I didn't tell her this. "Anytime!" I said.
Love is in the details. Here, it was in taking care of details my niece was
unaware of. Scripture tells us of God’s love as seen in two seemingly small
details of the Israelites' life in the wilderness: their clothes and shoes.
Throughout forty years of walking, their "clothes did not wear out, nor did
the sandals on [their] fee" (Deuteronomy 29:5). In fact, their feet didn't
even swell! (8:4).
God's people had been unfaithful, but He showed "great compassion," not
abandoning them (Nehemiah 9:19). "They lacked nothing" (v. 21). God provided
the "big" things, such as His presence, the counsel of His Spirit, and food
and water (vv. 19-20); and the "smaller" but necessary things,
such as clothes and shoes.
God shows His love in ways we may overlook or be unaware of.
Such is His love, that He sees every detail of our life.
Reflect & Pray
What details in your life show God's love? How do they help you trust Him?
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your enduring love.

Week 4 -The Blessings of Grace Day 6 - A Reasonable Alternative
Isaiah 1:18
18 (Ps 51:7; Rev 7:14) "Come now, and let us reason together, "
says the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
"Is Christianity Reasonable?" Linda Wanted to Know. "I've heard all my life
that faith is a crutch, an invention of weak minds to assure them
of some order in the world."
Linda was not alone in her objection; thinking people for generations
have been asking themselves the same question.
God is not intimidated by our questions; in fact, he confronts the issue
head-on in the Scriptures. "Let us reason together," the Lord invites.
Even according to the most basic of human reasoning,
faith is a reasonable alternative , a rational choice for a thinking person.
God indicates in his Word that confession and forgiveness are "reasonable".
"Think!" God says. "You sin, and you know it. You are not even able to be
true to your own principles. You cannot deal with your sin by will power
or effort. But I can deal with it! I can forgive it - and I will"
We cannot come to faith in God through Christ by intellect alone, of course.
Our spirits much reach out in faith, beyond what we can see. But intellect
supports faith; trusting in Christ is an eminently rational decision.
In Deut 30:1-20 , God set before the people a choice: Life or Death, blessing
or cursing. "Choose Life!" he tells them. We have the same choice.
The ultimate decision is thus simplified, the 'rational' alternative becomes
clear. We can choose death, by attempting to control our own destinies ,
or life, by giving ourselves fully into the hand of the Master.
Application
a) Why is the choice to acknowledge my sin and receive forgiveness a
'Rational choice'?
b) What are the alternatives to such a decision?
c) What other aspects of God's word
and work in my life seem 'reasonable' to me?

2 Cor 9:8,11
8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you,
so that you, always having enough of everything,
may abound to every good work.
11 So you will be enriched in everything to all bountifulness,
which makes us give thanks to God.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having
all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through
us thanksgiving to God.
Joshua 21
[1] Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the
priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of
the tribes of the children of Israel;
[2] And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The
LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the
suburbs thereof for our cattle.
[3] And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their
inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
[4] And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the
children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of
the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of
Benjamin, thirteen cities.
[5] And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of
the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe
of Manasseh, ten cities.
[6] And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe
of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of

tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by
name,
[10] Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites,
who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
[11] And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is
Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about
it.
[12] But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to
Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
[13] Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her
suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,
[14] And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
[15] And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,
[16] And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Beth-shemesh
with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
[17] And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with
her suburbs,
[18] Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.
[19] All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen
cities with their suburbs.
[20] And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained
of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the
tribe of Ephraim.
[21] For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,
[22] And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Beth-horon with her suburbs; four
cities.
[23] And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with
her suburbs,
[24] Aijalon with her suburbs, Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
[25] And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and
Gath-rimmon with her suburbs; two cities.
[26] All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the
children of Kohath that remained.
[27] And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out
of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her
suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beesh-terah with her
suburbs; two cities.
[28] And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with
her suburbs,
[29] Jarmuth with her suburbs, En-gannim with her suburbs; four cities.
[30] And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her
suburbs,
[31] Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.
[32] And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs,
to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammoth-dor with her suburbs, and
Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
[33] All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were
thirteen cities with their suburbs.
[34] And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the
Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah
with her suburbs,
[35] Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.

with her suburbs,
[37] Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
[38] And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a
city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,
[39] Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.
[40] So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which
were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve
cities.
[41] All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of
Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
[42] These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus
were all these cities.
[43] And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto
their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
[44] And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware
unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before
them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
[45] There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto
the house of Israel; all came to pass.

Joshua 19
The Allotment for Joshua
49 When they had finished allotting the land according to its boundaries,
the children of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua son of Nun.

51 (Jos 14:1; 18:10) These are the inheritances that Eleazar the priest,
Joshua son of Nun, and the family leaders of the Israelite tribes assigned
by lot in Shiloh before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
So they completed dividing the land.
[49] When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their
coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun
among them:
[50] According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he
asked, even Timnath-serah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt
therein.
[51] These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son
of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of
Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing
the country.
JOSHUA 20
Cities of Refuge
Nu 35:9-34; Dt 4:41-43; 19:1-14
1 Then the Lord said to Joshua,
2 (Nu 35:6; Dt 4:41-43) "Say to the children of Israel,
'Choose refuge cities, as I told you through Moses,
3 so that anyone who kills a person without intent
and unknowingly may flee there. They shall be your refuge
from the avenger of blood.
4 (Jer 38:7; Ru 4:1-2) " 'The refugee can flee to one of these cities
then stand at the entrance of the city gate and tell his case
to the city elders. They will take him into the city
and give him a place to stay, and he will live with them.
5 (Nu 35:12) When the avenger of blood comes after him,
they shall not hand over the manslayer to him,
for he struck down his neighbor unintentionally
with no premeditated malice.
6 (Nu 35:12; 35:24-25) He shall live in that city
until he stands before the congregation for judgment,
until the death of the high priest serving at that time.
Then the manslayer may return to his home
and to his city from which he had fled.'"
7 (Jos 21:11; 21:32; 1Ch 6:76) They selected Kedesh in Galilee in the hill
country of Naphtali, Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim,
and Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
8 (Jos 21:36; 1Ch 6:78) Across the Jordan east of Jericho, theyselected
Bezer in the wilderness plain from the tribe of Reuben,
Ramoth in Gilead from thetribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan
from the tribe of Manasseh.
9 (Nu 35:15) These were the cities designated for all the children
of Israel and resident foreigners living among them,
to which anyone who killed someone inadvertently could flee
and not die at the hand of the avenger of blood
until he stood before the congregation.
Joshua 20
[1] The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
[2] Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of
refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
[3] That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may
flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
[4] And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the
entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of
the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and
give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
[5] And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not
deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour
unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
[6] And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation
for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those
days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his
own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
[7] And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in
mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
[8] And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in
the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in
Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of
Manasseh.
[9] These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for
the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person
at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of
blood, until he stood before the congregation.
JOSHUA 21

in which to live and grazing lands for our livestock."
3 So according to the word of the Lord, out of their inheritance
the children of Israel gave the Levites these cities and their grazing lands.

40 So twelve cities were allotted for the descendants of Merari
according to their clans (the remaining Levite clans).
41 Altogether the Levites received 48 cities and their grazing lands
within the possessions of the children of Israel.
42 Each of these cities had grazing lands surrounding them.
It was this way with all these cities.
43 (Ge 13:15; 28:4) The Lord gave Israel all the land that He swore
to give to their fathers. They took possession of it and lived in it.
44 (Jos 11:23) The Lord gave them rest all around, according to all
that He swore to their fathers. Not a man among their enemies stood
before them, and the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hands.
45 (Jos 23:14-15; 1Ki 8:56) Not a single word of all the good things
that the Lord had spoken to the children of Israel failed.
They all came to pass.

1 (Jos 19:9) The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of Simeon
according to their clans. Their inheritance was within the inheritance

8 and all the villages that were around
these cities as far as Baalath Beer, Ramah of the Negev.
This was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon according to their clans.
9 Simeon received a portion of the inheritance of Judah,
for the inheritance of Judah was too large for them,
so Simeon inherited land in the midst of the inheritance of Judah.
[1] And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the
children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was
within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
[2] And they had in their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,

Simeon according to their families.

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 5 - 1 John 1:9
9 (Ps 32:5; Pr 28:13) If we confess our sins, He is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive
us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
"If God already knows everything about me, everything I've done,
then why do I need to confess it?" Grant struggled with a common
dilemma for many Christians. Indeed, God, knew all his sin - much
better than Grant did himself. But Grant needed to confess,
not for God's benefit, but for his own. Grant needed to agree with God
that his sin was wrong, and put himself in a position to receive God's
grace in forgiveness.
1 John 1:9 make the process quit clear. We confess,
and God forgives and cleanses. Many of us, however, want to take on
God's part as well. We confess, agreeing with God that our sin is wrong.
But then we proceed to try to 'clean up our act,'bargaining with God,
promising that if he will forgive us just this once,
we won't ever to it again.
The problem is, we can never keep such a promise.
We probably will do it again, and then we are back where we started,
begging for forgiveness, and trying once more to cleanse
ourselves for our unrighteousness.
God offers freedom from such futile performance. He says, "Just confess.
Agree that you sinned. Submit yourself to me. Then I'll take over from there."
God's grace does not give us freedom to keep on sinning, of course - we need
to cooperate with the work of his Spirit in our lives and do all we can
to avoid sin. But we do not have to beg God for forgiveness - forgiveness
is offered to us freely.
We do not have to clean up out act before God will accept us; God can make
the necessary changes in our lives. When we confess, submit ourselves to God,
and allow him to work within us, he is able both to forgive us and to cleanse
us from unrighteousness.
Application
a) In what ways have I bartered with God and tried to "Clean up my act"
in order to deserve his forgiveness?
b) What is my part in confession? What is God's response?
Why it is important for me to recognize God's part in my
confession and forgiveness?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Hebrews 7:8
8 In the one case mortal men receive tithes,
but in the other he of whom it is witnessed
that he is alive receives them.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them,
of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Facing Pain and Suffering
2 Cor 12:7-10
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance
of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan,
to torment me, lest I be exalted above measure.
8 I asked the Lord three times that this thing might depart from me.
9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made
perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will boast in my weaknesses,
that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in hardships,
in persecutions, and in distresses for Christ's sake.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of
the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is
made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my
infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak,
then am I strong.

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
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
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, ...) .

Joshua 18
[1] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together
at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land
was subdued before them.
[2] And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had
not yet received their inheritance.
[3] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go
to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
[4] Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them,
and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to
the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
[5] And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their
coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on
the north.
[6] Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the
description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD
our God.
[7] But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD
is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh,
have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the
servant of the LORD gave them.
[8] And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to
describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it,
and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in
Shiloh.
[9] And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities
into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
[10] And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there
Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their
divisions.
The Allotment for Benjamin
11 The lot of the tribe of Benjamin, according to their clans, came up.
The territory allotted to it fell between Judah and Joseph.
12 (Jos 16:1; 7:2) Their northern border goes from the Jordan up
the northern slope of Jericho. It runs westward into the hill country
and extends to the wilderness of Beth Aven.
13 (Ge 28:19; Jos 16:2-3) The border passes from there southward
toward Luz, to the slope of Luz (that is, Bethel), and descends to Ataroth
Addar on the hill south of lower Beth Horon.
14 (Jos 15:9) On the western side, the border turns south from the hill
that lies to the south near Beth Horon, and it extends to Kiriath Baal
(that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city belonging to Judah.
This is the western border.
15 (Jos 15:9) The southern border starts from Kiriath Jearim
and goes out westward to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
16 (2Ki 23:10; Jos 15:7-8) The border then descends to the foot
of the mountain that lies by the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is
at the north end of the Valley of Rephaim. It descends from
the Hinnom Valley to the slope of the Jebusites, then down to En Rogel.
17 (Jos 15:6) The border runs north and goes out to En Shemesh and Geliloth,
which is opposite the Ascent of Adummim,
and descends to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18 (Jos 15:6) It passes toward the slope north of the Beth Arabah
and descends to the Arabah.
19 (Ge 14:3; Jos 15:2) The border passes north of the slope of Beth Hoglah,
and it runs out to the northern tip of the Dead Sea at the southern
end of the Jordan. This is the southern border.
20 The Jordan forms the eastern boundary.
This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin,
according to their clans, by its boundaries all around.
21 (Jos 18:12) The cities belonging to the tribe of Benjamin,
according to their clans, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,
22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
24 (Ezr 2:26) Kephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities
with their villages.
25 (Jos 9:17) Also there were Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
26 Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah,
27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
28 (Jos 15:8; 2Sa 21:14) Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city
(that is, Jerusalem),
Gibeah, and Kiriath: fourteen cities with their villages.
This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin
according to their clans.
[11] And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according
to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the
children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
[12] And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went
up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the
mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of
Beth-aven.
[13] And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz,
which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near
the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
[14] And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea
southward, from the hill that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the
goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of
the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
[15] And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the
border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
[16] And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before
the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on
the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on
the south, and descended to En-rogel,
[17] And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went
forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and
descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
[18] And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and
went down unto Arabah:
[19] And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and
the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the
south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
[20] And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the
inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about,
according to their families.
[21] Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to
their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
[22] And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
[23] And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
[24] And Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their
villages:
[25] Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
[26] And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
[27] And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
[28] And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath;
fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children
of Benjamin according to their families.

Luke 12:13-21
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide
the inheritance with me."
14 (Ro 2:1; 2:3) Jesus said to him, "Man, who appointed Me a judge
or an arbitrator between you?"
15 (1Ti 6:6-10; Heb 13:5) Then He said to them, "Take heed and beware
of covetousness. For a man's life does not consist
in the abundance of his possessions."
16 And He told a parable to them, saying,
"The land of a rich man produced plentifully.
17 He thought to himself,
'What shall I do, for I have no room to store my crops?'
18 "Then he said, 'This I will do: I will pull down my barns
and build greater ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 (Ecc 11:9; Pr 27:1) And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods
laid up for many years. Take rest. Eat, drink, and be merry.'
20 (Jer 17:11; Job 27:8; Ps 39:6) "But God said to him, 'You fool!
This night your soul will be required of you.
Then whose will those things be which you have provided?'
21 (Lk 12:33; Mt 6:19-20) "So is he who stores up treasure for himself,
and is not rich toward God."
[13] And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that
he divide the inheritance with me.
[14] And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
[15] And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a
man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he
possesseth.
[16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich
man brought forth plentifully:
[17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have
no room where to bestow my fruits?
[18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build
greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
[19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many
years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
[20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required
of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
[21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Some years ago, artist Michael Landy counted up everything he owned, making a
list of 7227 possessions. What he did next was eye-opening. Setting up a
factory in London's busiest shopping district, Landy publicly destroyed it
all. Clothes, artwork, love letters, even his car, were broken down, placed
on a conveyor belt, and fed into grinders. As consumers darted in and out of
department stores nearby, Landy's performance art asked, "Who are we without
our possessions?"
It's an important question because most of us buy things to define ourselves
or secure our futures. Jesus told a parable about a man who horded his wealth
and embraced a consumerist lifestyle. "You have plenty of grain laid up for
many years," the man tells himself. "Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry"
(Luke 12:19). But what was left when his life was "demanded" from him that
night? Only God's rebuke at having missed what's most important (vv. 20-21).
It isn't a sin to own things. Michael Landy still needed clothes. But when
we're tempted to find life and identity in what we own, Jesus reminds us that
"life does not consist in an abundance of possessions" (v. 15). Who would you
be without all your goods? Still a dearly loved child of God (Psalm 103:17;
Ephesians 5:1). Out of this secure identity, we can be rich toward God
and others.
Reflect & Pray
What do your possessions say about you?
What might being "rich toward God" (v. 21) mean for you?
Dear Father, please help me resist the lie
that I am what I own, and live richly toward You and others instead.

JOSHUA 16
Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh
1 (Jos 8:15; 18:12) The allotment of land for the descendants of Joseph
was from the Jordan by Jericho then east into the wilderness,
rising from Jericho to the hill country of Bethel.
2 (Jos 18:13; Ge 28:19) It goes out from Bethel to Luz and passes
to the border of Arkite territory at Ataroth.
3 (Jos 10:33; 18:13) It goes down westward to the territory
of the Japhletites, to the border of lower Beth Horon and Gezer,
and then goes out to the sea.
4 (Jos 17:14) So the descendants of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim,
took their inheritance.
5 (Jos 18:13) The territory of the Ephraimites, according to their clans,
was as follows. The border of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth
Addar as far as upper Beth Horon.
6 (Jos 17:7) The border goes out toward the sea with Mikmethath
on the north. It turns eastward toward Taanath Shiloh and passes it
on the east toward Janoah.
7 (1Ch 7:28) It descends from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah,
touches Jericho, and extends to the Jordan.
8 (Jos 17:8-9) From Tappuah the border goes west to the Kanah Ravine
and out to the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites
according to their clans.
9 The other cities for the Ephraimites were in the middle of the inheritance
of the descendants of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages.
10 (Jdg 1:29; 1Ki 9:16) They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived
in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim until this day
performing heavy labor as slaves.
Joshua 16
[1] And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto
the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from
Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
[2] And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of
Archi to Ataroth,
[3] And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of
Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the
sea.
[4] So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
[5] And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families
was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was
Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;
[6] And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side;
and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on
the east to Janohah;
[7] And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to
Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
[8] The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the
goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Ephraim by their families.
[9] And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the
inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
[10] And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the
Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under
tribute.
JOSHUA 17
1 (Ge 41:51; Nu 26:29) Then allotment was made to the tribe of Manasseh,
for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Makir the firstborn of Manasseh,
the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan,
because he was a warrior.
2 (Nu 26:29-32; 1Ch 7:18) And allotments were made
to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, according to their families:
Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida;
these were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, according
to their families.
3 (Nu 26:33; 27:1) Yet Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead,
son of Makir, son of Manasseh had no sons, only daughters.
These were his daughters' names: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.
4 (Jos 14:1) They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun,
and the leaders, saying, "The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance
among our relatives." So Joshua gave them an inheritance among their fathers'
relatives according to the word of the Lord.
5 Therefore Manasseh received ten regions, apart from the lands of Gilead
and Bashan on the east side of the Jordan,
6 because the daughters of Manasseh
received an inheritance among his sons, and the rest of the people of Manasseh
received the land of Gilead.
7 (Jos 21:21) The boundary of Manasseh was from Asher to Mikmethath
east of Shechem, and it runs south toward the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
8 (Jos 16:8) Now Manasseh owned the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah
on the border of Manasseh belonged to the Ephraimites.
9 Then the border descended to the Kanah Ravine, southward to the brook.
These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh.
The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook,
and it ended at the sea.
10 The land belonging to Ephraim was to the south,
and the land belonging to Manasseh to the north.
The Mediterranean Sea was the boundary of this territory,
which bordered Asher in the north and Issachar in the east.
11 (1Ch 7:29; Jos 12:23) In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was
assigned districts: Beth Shan, Ibleam, Dor, Endor, Taanach,
Megiddo, Naphoth, and their respective villages.
12 (Jdg 1:27-28) Yet the sons of Manasseh could not take possession
of those cities, because the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
13 (Jos 16:10) But when the children of Israel became strong, they put
the Canaanites to hard labor as slaves,
but they did not actually drive them out.
14 (Ge 48:19; 48:22) The descendants of Joseph said to Joshua,
"Why have you assigned us a single allotment, a single portion?
We are a numerous people, as the Lord has blessed us."
15 (Ge 14:5) Joshua said to them, "If you are a numerous people,
go up to the forests and clear out a place there for yourselves
in the land of the Perizzites and the giants,
since the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you."
16 (Jdg 1:19; 4:3) The descendants of Joseph said,
"The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites
living in the plains have iron chariots, both those
in Beth Shan and the Jezreel Valley."
17 Joshua said to Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph,
"You are a numerous people who have great strength. There will not
be only one allotment for you.
18 The hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest you shall
clear it and own it to its borders. You shall drive out the Canaanites,
even though they have iron chariots and are strong."
Joshua 17
[1] There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn
of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of
Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
[2] There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their
families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and
for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the
children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male
children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
[3] But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir,
the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of
his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
[4] And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son
of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us
an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of
the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
[5] And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and
Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
[6] Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and
the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
[7] And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth
before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the
inhabitants of En-tappuah.
[8] Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of
Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
[9] And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river:
these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of
Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it
were at the sea:
[10] Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the
sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in
Issachar on the east.
[11] And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and
Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the
inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her
towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
[12] Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of
those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
[13] Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong,
that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
[14] And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou
given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people,
forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
[15] And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up
to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the
Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
[16] And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all
the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron,
both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the
valley of Jezreel.
[17] And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to
Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt
not have one lot only:
[18] But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut
it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out
the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
JOSHUA 18
Dividing the Rest of the Land
1 (Jos 19:51; 21:2) The whole congregation of the children of Israel
assembled at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there.
The land was subdued before them.
2 Yet seven tribes among the children of Israel remained
who had not yet received their inheritance.
3 (Jdg 18:9) So Joshua said to the children of Israel, "How long will you
delay going in to possess the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers,
has given you?
4 Select three men from each tribe, and I will send them out;
and they will rise and go throughout the land, and describe it
according to their inheritance, and they will come back to me.
5 They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah will stay in their
territory in the south, and the house of Joseph will stay in their
territory in the north.
6 (Jos 14:2; 18:10) So describe the land in seven portions and return to me.
Then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.
7 (Jos 13:33; Nu 18:20) Yet there is no portion for the Levites among you,
for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben,
and the half-tribe of Manasseh have acquired their inheritance
on the east side of the Jordan,
which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them."
8 So the men got up and left. Joshua commanded those who were
leaving to survey the land, saying, "Go and walk back and forth
throughout the land. Write a description of it, then return to me.
Here in Shiloh I will cast lots for you before the Lord."
9 The men went and passed through the land. In a book they wrote
a description of it by cities in seven portions, and they came back to Joshua
at the Shiloh settlement.
10 (Jos 18:6) Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord.
There Joshua apportioned the land for the children of Israel
according to their divisions.

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
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
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, ...) .

2) Our Daily Bread for 25 March 2026 titled
One in Jesus
by Nancy Gavilanes
Galatians 3:23-29
Slaves and Sons
23 But before faith came, we were imprisoned under the law,
kept for the faith which was later to be revealed.
24 (Gal 2:16; Ro 10:4) So the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ,
that we might be justified by faith.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26 (Gal 4:5-6) You are all sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 (Ro 13:14; Ac 2:38) For as many of you as have been baptised
into Christ have put on Christ.
28 (Col 3:11; Gal 5:6) There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free, and there is neither male nor female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 (Ro 8:17; 9:7-8) If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise.
[23] But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the
faith which should afterwards be revealed.
[24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we
might be justified by faith.
[25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
[26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
[27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
Christ.
[28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there
is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
[29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according
to the promise.
Watching sporting competitions and meeting athletes was a dream come true for
me when I attended a Summer and Winter Olympics as a young reporter. I was
enthralled by hearing people from all over the world speaking in different
languages and celebrating their various countries.
I'd been fascinated with the Olympics since I was a teen, but it had become an
obsession. After I said yes to following God while at the Summer Games, I felt
God was asking me to lay down my idol of sports. But I still had a love for
the nations. I still enjoy watching the Olympics, but my heart is truly
stirred when people of different backgrounds and from different nations come
together during a church service or gathering to pray and to worship
the King of kings. What a sweet taste of heaven on earth (Revelation 7:9)!
When we remember who we are in Christ, we remember that we belong to God's
family and His family is international.
The apostle Paul declared to the believers in Galatia, "So in Christ Jesus you
are all children of God through faith" (Galatians 3:26). "There is neither Jew
nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are
all one in Christ Jesus" (v. 28).
No matter where we're from or where we live, let's rejoice that as believers
we're one in Christ with our brothers and sisters around the world.
Reflect & Pray
How can you show love to people of different backgrounds?
How can you pray for the nations?
Heavenly Father, thank You for making me one in Christ with other believers.

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 4 - freedom from Fear
Psalms 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom will I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom will I be afraid?
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Marcy was afraid of the dark. As a child she slept with a nightlight on,
and even she matured, she still had a fear of dark places.
When she was at home alone, she kept all the lights on,
and a small lamp at her bedside glowed through the night.
The psalmist David reflects that common fear of darkness when he says
"The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?"
David does not say, "The Lord brings light," but "The Lord is my light".
God is the source of understanding and security in our lives.
He is the One who can expose and deal with our fears.
When we are afraid - afraid of losing a job or a loved one,
afraid of making mistakes, afraid of being hurt, afraid of what others may
say about us - we can turn to the Lord who can handle our fears.
He is a "stronghold", a fortress of protection around us,
and in him we are safe.
Often we turn to other places for our security - to the bank account,
to a spouse or loved one, to the approval of the world.
We mistakenly think that these sources can provide a foundation of defence
against uncertainty of life. But when we find that people disappoint us, money
loses its value, and the praise of others is fleeting,
we must turn again to the true source of security, God alone.
Application
a) What sources of security have I trusted in besides God?
What was the result of that trust?
b) In what ways have I depended upon God for my security?
c) What spiritual truths can I see now that I could not see
when I lived in darkness?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in
My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not
open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing,
that there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 I will rebuke the devourer
for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,
says the Lord of Hosts.
12 Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be
a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit
before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be
a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Worried Over Money
Matt 6:19-21
Treasures in Heaven
Lk 12:33-34
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth
and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
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.
Joshua 13
[1] Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him,
Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land
to be possessed.
[2] This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines,
and all Geshuri,
[3] From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron
northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines;
the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the
Ekronites; also the Avites:
[4] From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is
beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
[5] And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising,
from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
[6] All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto
Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before
the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for
an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
[7] Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes,
and the half tribe of Manasseh,
[8] With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their
inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses
the servant of the LORD gave them;
[9] From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that
is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;
[10] And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in
Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
[11] And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all
mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
[12] All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in
Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite,
and cast them out.
[13] Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor
the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the
Israelites until this day.
[14] Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of
the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto
them.
[15] And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance
according to their families.
[16] And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon,
and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;
[17] Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
[18] And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
[19] And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the mount of the
valley,
[20] And Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,
[21] And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of
the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of
Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of
Sihon, dwelling in the country.
[22] Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel
slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
[23] And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border
thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their
families, the cities and the villages thereof.
[24] And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the
children of Gad according to their families.
[25] And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the
land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;
[26] And from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim
unto the border of Debir;
[27] And in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon,
the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border,
even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan
eastward.
[28] This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families,
the cities, and their villages.
[29] And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this
was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their
families.
[30] And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og
king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore
cities:
[31] And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og
in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh,
even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
[32] These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in
the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
[33] But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God
of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
JOSHUA 14
Division of the Land West of the Jordan
1 (Nu 34:17-29) These are the territories that the children of Israel
inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest,
Joshua son of Nun, and the family leaders of the Israelite
tribes assigned to them.
2 (Nu 33:54; 34:13) Their inheritance fell to them by lot, as the Lord
commanded through Moses, for the nine and a half tribes.
3 (Jos 13:14; 13:8) For Moses had assigned the inheritance of two
and a half tribes on the other side of the Jordan,
but he had not assigned an inheritance among them to the Levites.
4 (Ge 48:5; 1Ch 5:1-2) The descendants of Joseph were two tribes:
Manasseh and Ephraim. They did not give territory to the Levites
in the land, but only towns in which to live, along with the pastures,
livestock, and property.
5 (Jos 21:2) Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children
of Israel did when they divided the land.
Hebron Given to Caleb
6 (Nu 14:30; 13:6) The descendants of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal,
and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,
"You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God about you
and me at Kadesh Barnea.
7 (Nu 13:6; 13:16-20) I was forty years old when Moses the servant
of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land,
and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart.
8 (Nu 14:24; Dt 1:36) My companions who went up with me made
the hearts of the people melt, but I wholeheartedly followed
after the Lord my God.
9 (Dt 1:36; Jos 1:3) On that day Moses swore an oath,
"The land on which your foot treads shall be your inheritance,
for your descendants perpetually, because you completely followed
after the Lord my God."
10 "Now, the Lord has kept me alive, just as He said, for 45 years,
since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered
in the wilderness. Now, here I am this day, 85 years old.
11 (Dt 34:7; 31:2) I am still just as strong today as I was on the day
that Moses sent me. My strength now is just like my strength then,
both for battle and for going out and returning.
12 (Nu 13:33; 13:28) So now, give me this hill country that the Lord
spoke about on that day. That day you heard that the Anakites
live there in large, fortified cities. Perhaps the Lord will be with me,
and I will drive them out, as the Lord said."
13 (Jos 22:6; Jdg 1:20) Then Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb
son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.
14 (Jos 14:8-9) Therefore Hebron became an inheritance of Caleb
son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day because he completely
followed after the Lord, the God of Israel.
15 (Jos 11:23; Ge 23:2) The former name of Hebron was Kiriath Arba.
Arba was the greatest man among the Anakites.
Then the land had rest from war.
Joshua 14
[1] And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in
the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and
the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel,
distributed for inheritance to them.
[2] By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of
Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
[3] For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on
the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among
them.
[4] For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim:
therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to
dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
[5] As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they
divided the land.
[6] Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son
of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the
LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
[7] Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from
Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was
in mine heart.
[8] Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the
people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
[9] And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet
have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever,
because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
[10] And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty
and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the
children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day
fourscore and five years old.
[11] As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me:
as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go
out, and to come in.
[12] Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that
day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the
cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I
shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
[13] And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron
for an inheritance.
[14] Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh
the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of
Israel.
[15] And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great
man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.

Allotment for Judah
Jdg 1:11-15
1The allotment for the tribe of Judah, by their clans, stretches southward
to the border of Edom, to the Zin wilderness in the south.
2 Their southern border runs from the southern tip of the Salt Sea,
3 (Nu 34:4; Jdg 1:36) to south of the Ascent of Akrabbim,
crosses to Zin, rises south of Kadesh Barnea, crosses to Hezron,
then rises to Addar, turns toward Karka,
4 (Nu 34:5; Jos 13:3) then crosses to Azmon, goes out to the Brook of Egypt,
and then to the sea. This is your southern border.
5 (Nu 34:12) The eastern border is the Salt Sea up to the mouth of the Jordan.
The northern border runs from the northern extremity of the Dead Sea at the
mouth of the Jordan River,
6 (Jos 18:17) then rises to Beth Hoglah, crosses north of Beth Arabah,
rises to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
7 (2Sa 17:17; 1Ki 1:9) and rises to Debir from the Achor Valley,
turns northward to Gilgal opposite the Ascent of Adummim
south of the valley, and crosses to the waters of En Shemesh
and onward to En Rogel.
8 (Jos 18:16; 15:63; 18:28) The border rises to Valley of Ben Hinnom,
to the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem),
then rises to the top of the hill west of the Valley of Ben Hinnom,
at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.
9 (1Ch 13:6; Jos 18:15) The border turns from the top of the hill
to the waters of Nephtoah and goes out to the cities of Mount Ephron,
then turns to Baalah (that is, Kiriath Jearim).
10 (Jdg 14:1) The border turns west of Baalah to Mount Seir,
crosses to the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Kesalon),
descends to Beth Shemesh, and crosses to Timnah.
11 The border goes out to the northern slope of Ekron, turns to Shikkeron,
crosses to Mount Baalah, goes out to Jabneel, and ends at the sea.
12 (Nu 34:6-7; Jos 15:47) The western border was the coastline
of the Mediterranean Sea.
These were the borders surrounding the tribe of Judah
according to their clans.
13 According to the word of the Lord to Joshua, Caleb son of Jephunneh
was given an allotment among the tribe of Judah:
Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron).
Arba was the father of Anak.
14 (Jdg 1:10; 1:20) Caleb drove out from there three Anakites:
Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
15 (Jos 10:38) He went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir.
Before the name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher.
16 Caleb said, "I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to whoever
attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it."
17 (Jdg 1:13; 3:9) Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it,
so Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter in marriage.
18 When she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field.
She dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What can I do for you?"
19 She answered, "Please give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in
the Negev, now give me springs of water." So he gave her the upper
and lower springs.
Joshua 15
[1] This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their
families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the
uttermost part of the south coast.
[2] And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay
that looketh southward:
[3] And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along
to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed
along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
[4] From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of
Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your
south coast.
[5] And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And
their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the
uttermost part of Jordan:
[6] And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of
Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
[7] And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so
northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim,
which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the
waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel:
[8] And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south
side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the
top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which
is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
[9] And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of
the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the
border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim:
[10] And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and
passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north
side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
[11] And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the
border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out
unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
[12] And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This
is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their
families.
[13] And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children
of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city
of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
[14] And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and
Talmai, the children of Anak.
[15] And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of
Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
[16] And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him
will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
[17] And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he
gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
[18] And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of
her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her,
What wouldest thou?
[19] Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land;
give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the
nether springs.

The List of Defeated Kings
1 (Dt 3:8-9; Nu 21:13) These are the kings on the east side of the Jordan,
from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon and all the eastern Arabah, whom the
children of Israel struck down to take over their land:
2 (Ge 32:22) Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon and ruled from
Aroer, which is on the bank of River Arnon, and from the middle of the valley
as far as the River Jabbok, which is the border of the Ammonites, that is,
half of Gilead,
3 (Dt 3:17; Jos 11:2; 13:20) and the Arabah to the Sea of Galilee eastward,
and toward Beth Jeshimoth, to the Sea of Arabah, the Dead Sea, southward

[1] Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote,
and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the
sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
[2] Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer,
which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river,

children of Ammon;
[3] And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the
sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth;
and from the south, under Ashdoth-pisgah:
[4] And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the
giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
[5] And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the
border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border
of Sihon king of Heshbon.
[6] Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite:
and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the
Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

JOSHUA 13
Land Still to be Taken
1 (Jos 14:10; Dt 31:3) Now Joshua was old and well advanced in years.
The Lord said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, but very much
of the land still remains to be possessed.
2 (Jos 13:11; Jdg 3:1) "This is the land that remains: all the districts of
the Philistines and those of the Geshurites
3 (Dt 2:23; Jdg 3:3) (from the Shihor east of Egypt northward to
the boundary of Ekron, which is counted as Canaanite;
the cities of the five Philistine governors: Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath,
and Ekron), and also the Avvites' lands.
4 (Jos 19:30; Jdg 1:34-36) Also remaining in the south
is all the land of the Canaanites, Arah owned by the Sidonians, as far
as Aphek at the Amorite boundary,
5 (Jos 12:7; 1Ki 5:18) the land of the Gebalites and all Lebanon to the east,
and from Baal Gad at the foot of Mount Hermon to Lebo Hamath.
6 (Jos 11:8; 23:13) "I will drive out from before the children of Israel
all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim
and all the Sidonians. Be sure to divide these lands by lot as an inheritance
for Israel as I have commanded you.
7 So now, divide this land as an inheritance for the nine tribes
and the half-tribe of Manasseh."
Division of the Land East of the Jordan River
8 (Jos 12:6) With the other half-tribe of Manasseh, Reuben and Gad took
their inheritance that Moses gave to them on the east side of the Jordan,
as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them:
9 (Nu 21:30; Jos 13:16) from Aroer on the bank of the River Arnon, the city
in the middle of the valley, all the plain from Medeba to Dibon,
10 all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon,
and the land up to the Ammonite border. 11Moses had also given them Gilead,
the territory of the Geshurites and Maakathites, all of Mount Hermon,
and all of Bashan as far as Salekah,
12 (Jos 12:4) and in Bashan all the kingdom of Og, one of the last remnant
of the giants, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei. Moses struck them down
and took their lands.
13 (Jos 13:11) Yet the children of Israel did not drive out the Geshurites
or the Maakathites, and Geshur and Maakah live among Israel until this day.
14 (Nu 18:20-24; Jos 14:3-4) However Moses did not give an inheritance
to the tribe of Levi. The burnt offerings of the Lord God of Israel
are their inheritance, as He said to them.
15 Moses assigned land to the tribe of the Reubenites
according to their clans.
16 (Jos 13:9; 12:2) Their territory was from Aroer
on the edge of the Arnon Valley, the city in the middle of the valley,
all the plain of Medeba,
17 Heshbon and all its towns in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,
18 (Nu 21:23) Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,
19 (Nu 32:37-38) Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill of the valley,
20 (Dt 4:46; Jos 12:3) Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, Beth Jeshimoth,
21 (Nu 31:8; Dt 3:10) all the cities of the plain, and the whole kingdom
of King Sihon of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon. Moses struck
him down along with the leaders of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur,
and Reba, who were princes of Sihon who lived in the land.
22 (Nu 31:8) The children of Israel killed Balaam son of Beor,
who practiced divination, with the sword along with the rest of the slain.
23 The border of the Reubenites was the banks of the Jordan.
This was the inheritance of the Reubenites according to their clans:
those towns and their settlements.
24 Moses assigned land to the tribe of Gad for the Gadites according
to their clans.
25 (Nu 32:35; Dt 3:11) Their territory was Jazer, all the cities of Gilead,
and half of the Ammonite land as far as Aroer, which is east of Rabbah,
26 (2Sa 17:27; 2:8) from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah, Betonim,
and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.
27 (Ge 33:17; Nu 32:36) In the valley were Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,
Sukkoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of King Sihon of Heshbon,
the Jordan as its boundary to the lower Sea of Galilee
to the east of the Jordan.
28 This was the inheritance of the Gadites according to their clans:
those towns and their settlements.
29 Moses assigned land to the half-tribe of Manasseh
for the descendants of Manasseh according to their clans.
30 (Jos 13:26) Their territory was from Mahanaim, through all of Bashan,
all the kingdom of King Og of Bashan, all the sixty villages of Jair
that are in Bashan,
31 (Jos 12:4; Nu 32:39-40) half of Gilead, Ashtaroth, and Edrei:
cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan. This was for the descendants
of Makir son of Manasseh, half of the descendants of Makir by their clans.
32 This is the territory Moses assigned in the desert plains of Moab,
on the eastern side of Jericho and the Jordan.
33 (Jos 18:7; 13:14) Yet Moses did not assign land to the tribe of Levi
as an inheritance. The Lord God of Israel was their inheritance,
as He said to them.
