Pray for the Gilaks of Iran



The Gilaks are a people group numbering nearly 5 million whose homeland is

Gilan on the southern and southwestern coast of the Caspian Sea. Whilst

considering themselves Iranian and generally speaking Iran's national

language, Farsi, they also have their own language, Gilaki, and their own

culture.



Varesh is Gilak. A talented musician, he was homeless, living under a bridge,

and addicted to drugs when he encountered the love of Jesus. Miraculously

freed from his addiction, he started using his musical skills to praise God.

However, due to a serious speech impediment, he couldn't sing.



During the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, Varesh noticed how a famous singer used songs

to urge young men to go to the frontline. So, he prayed that God would raise

up singers who would instead guide people into His loving arms. Not long

after, his pastor told him that he would be one of those singers! As he

prayed, received prayer and started singing, slowly his mouth and tongue

began to change and God healed him!



Varesh started composing poetry and worship songs in Farsi and Gilaki. He also

started pastoring others. Sadly, because of this activity he was arrested and

imprisoned, and upon release he and his family had to leave Iran and seek

asylum elsewhere.

coming soon!



Although living outside of ran, they have continued to serve the Lord. With

the encouragement and support of other believers, Varesh is publishing his

Gilaki worship songs for the first time and leading worship in the first ever

online Gilaki church! One of his songs about forgiveness, published as a

moving video filmed by his daughter, is helping other Gilaks to forgive

those who have hurt them.



How to Pray



Ask God that through Varesh’s worship songs,

many Gilaks would come to faith in Jesus.



Pray that believers would hear the Lord speaking

through the songs and obey what He says.



Intercede for a safe long-term country of asylum for Varesh

and his family and for peace as they wait.



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, ...) .

statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

Picture your arms full of garbage, it's heavy and you canlt take another load,

but yet you're carrying it around. Now let’s say you have a friend who wants

to give you a gift, it’s this nicely wrapped up and it's big, but yet you

can't because your arms are full. So in order to receive the gift you'd have

to put down all that garbage so you can hold the gift. God is that friend

and he has a gift he wants us to receive. A new heart of flesh

and a new spirit, a new identity and direction.



So what does it mean to have a heart of flesh? A heart of flesh is an awakened

spirit, its alive, obedient, tender love, devoted, living internally. While a

heart of stone is spiritually numb, stubborn/disobedient, loves less, expects

more, dying internally. And God is willingly wanting to change our hearts, all

we have to do is receive it with open arms. There's nothing we could ever do

to earn God's love, his love isn't earned it's given. And always will be no

matter what we've done or who we are. There is hope and new life to all who

will receive it.



How do you receive it? Surrender your life, your earthly desires, admit the

need for change and repent/turn away from your old life. Your old identity,

putting down the garbage that you're holding on to and allowing God to

reshape your new identity and heart of stone.



Ezekiel 37 is the valley of dry bones. Ezekiel is shown a vision of these dead

rotten bones in the dust, becoming dust. But yet God tells Ezekiel these bones

shall live again. It's the same with our hearts, no matter how far we seem

from God, or whatever we've done, or whatever your heart is carrying. There is

nothing that can separate you, or anything that is greater than the love God

has for you. So it’s never too late to surrender and receive the new life

and hope God promises.



It's an internal to external change through Christ, because the outer

purification will be of no use without the inner desire to live rightly before

God. Deep calls to deep, as you pour yourself out to God, God fills you with

his love and spirit. This new heart of flesh enables us to walk in obedience

following God's will. And to be able to enter into a renewed covenant with

God, a new mindset, desire, identity, and direction.



---



Personal Reflection Questions:



- What is something like the garbage that you are carrying that you need to

lay down and surrender before God in order to receive the new change He has

for you?



Prayer Points:



- Prayer for all ministries in the church for God's continued guidance,

that he'd lead us to what he is calling us to.



- Prayer for the community for a heart to change and continued desire

to long for God and His will for our life.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 3 - Let the Word Dwell in You



Col 3:16



16 (Eph 5:19; Col 1:28; Ro 10:17) Let the word of Christ dwell

in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing

one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.



16 Let the word of Christ dwell

in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing

one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.



Every day, whether we are aware of it or not, our minds are

bombarded by 20th Century values: "Dress for success!" "Get ahead!"

"You deserve a break today ...." Television, radio, and the incessant

voices that surround us distract our attention and keep us from

focusing on what is really important in our lives.

Paul's instruction to the Colossian Church brings us back to God's

value system: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly."

When we give attention to the Word of God, we put ourselves in a position

to hear a higher truth the clamour of immediate demands

and the expectations of the world around us. We can experience peace

in the midst of struggle and rest in a restless environment.

God's Word is a powerful force for good in our lives - not merely

an attractive philosophy, but true power to overcome the pressures

of daily life.

Dwelling on the Word of God, and letting it indwell us, takes many forms.

Scripture memory, music, meditation, talking with others about the

goodness of God all help us keep our attention focused on Christ rather

than on the values of the world around us.

We can choose to listen to Christian radio or tapes. We can take time

daily for quiet meditation on his Word. We can commit the Word to memory

and draw on its power during the day. And as we listen to the voice

of the Spirit rather than the noise around us, we can enter into

his peace and live in communion with him.



Application



a) What pressures do I face that tend to distract me from the reality

of Christ's presence?



b) How can I "let the word of Christ dwell richly" in me, so that I

an regain my focus on him?



c) What practical changes can I make in my life to help me focus

my attention on Jesus and his word?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 35:27



27 May those who favour my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad;

may they say continually, "The Lord be magnified,

who delights in the peace of His servant."



27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:

Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified,

which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.



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



God's Generous Provision



Matthew 6:24-34



God and Money



24 (Lk 16:13; 16:11; 16:9) "No one can serve two masters.

For either he will hate the one and love the other,

or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve God and money."



Care and Anxiety



Lk 12:22-34



25 (Mt 6:31; 6:34; Php 4:6) "Therefore, I say to you,

take no thought about your life, what you will eat,

or what you will drink, nor about your body,

what you will put on. Is not life more than

and the body than clothing?

26 (Job 38:41; Ps 147:9) Look at the birds of the air,

for they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns.

Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?

27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit

(A cubit is about half a meter.) to his stature?

28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing?

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:

They neither work, nor do they spin.

29 (1Ki 10:4-7; 2Ch 9:4-6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon

in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.

30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field,

which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,

will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?'

or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.)

For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God

and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.

34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow,

for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.

Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.



True Wisdom



24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,

and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,

or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not

the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor

gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much

better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,

how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed

like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is,

and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you,

O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat?

or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek

for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,

and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:

for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

Numbers 21



King Sihon Defeated



21 (Dt 2:26-28; Jdg 11:19-21) Israel sent messengers to Sihon

king of the Amorites, saying,

22 (Nu 20:17) "Let me pass through your land.

We will not turn into the fields nor into the vineyards.

We will not drink of the waters of the well.

But we will go along by the king's highway

until we are past your borders."

23 (Jdg 11:20) Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his border.

But Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel

into the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

24 (Am 2:9; Ge 32:22) Israel defeated him with the edge of the sword

and possessed his land from Arnon to Jabbok,

all the way to the children of Ammon, because the border of the children

of Ammon was strong.

25 Israel took all these cities, and Israel lived in

all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.

26 Because Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites,

who had fought against the former king of Moab

and taken all his land out of his hand, to Arnon.

27 Therefore they that speak in proverbs say:

"Come into Heshbon; let it be built,

and let the city of Sihon be established,

28 (Nu 21:15; Jer 48:45-46) because a fire went out of Heshbon,

a flame from the city of Sihon;

it has devoured Ar of Moab

and the masters of the high places of Arnon.

29 (Jdg 11:24; 2Ki 23:13) Woe to you, Moab!

You have perished, O people of Chemosh!

He has made his sons fugitives,

and his daughters captives,

to Sihon king of the Amorites.

30 (Isa 15:2; Jer 48:18) "We have overthrown them;

Heshbon is perished to Dibon,

and we have desolated them to Nophah,

which reaches to Medeba."

31 Thus Israel lived in the land of the Amorites.



[21] And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

[22] Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into

the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go

along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.

[23] And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon

gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the

wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

[24] And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land

from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of

the children of Ammon was strong.

[25] And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of

the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.

[26] For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had

fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his

hand, even unto Arnon.

[27] Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the

city of Sihon be built and prepared:

[28] For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of

Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of

Arnon.

[29] Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given

his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of

the Amorites.

[30] We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have

laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.

[31] Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.



King Og Defeated



32 (Nu 32:1; Jer 48:32) Moses sent to spy out Jazer,

and they took its villages and drove out the Amorites who were there.

33 (Jos 13:12; Dt 1:4) They turned and went up by the way of Bashan,

and Og the king of Bashan went out against them,

he and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.

34 The Lord said to Moses, "Do not fear him because

into your hand I have given him, and all his people,

and his land, and you will do to him as you did to Sihon

king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon."

35 So they killed him, and his sons, and all his people,

until there was not a survivor left to him alive,

and they possessed his land.



Numbers 21



[32] And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof,

and drove out the Amorites that were there.

[33] And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of

Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at

Edrei.

[34] And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him

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

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

[35] So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was

none left him alive: and they possessed his land.



(The Lord will give you Victory in every battle)



2) Our Daily Bread for 3 March 2025 titled God’s Undeniable Power

by Marvin Williams



Daniel 6:25-28



25 (Da 4:1; Ezr 1:1-2; 4:17) Then King Darius wrote:

To all peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:

"Peace be multiplied unto you.

26 (Da 4:34; 2:44; 3:29) "I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom

men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel.

"For He is the living God,

enduring forever;

His kingdom shall never be destroyed,

and His dominion shall be forever.

27 (Da 4:2-3) He delivers and rescues,

and He works signs and wonders

in heaven and on earth,

who has delivered Daniel

from the power of the lions."

28 (Da 1:21; Isa 44:28-45:1) So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius

and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.



[25] Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that

dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

[26] I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and

fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for

ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion

shall be even unto the end.

[27] He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven

and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

[28] So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of

Cyrus the Persian.



When the Transit Agency of Central Kentucky (TACK) renovated its headquarters,

it wanted to make sure people noticed. Instead of a subtle sign or

announcement, it installed a massive, nearly 22' tall thumbtack at its

entrance. The thumbtack, a world record, is an undeniable marker that no

passersby can miss.



In Daniel 6, God used something undeniable to get people's attention:

He miraculously rescued Daniel after he'd been placed in a lion's den for

choosing to defy King Darius' decree by continuing to pray to God (vv. 10-23).

The prophet survived because he'd "trusted in . . . God" (v. 23). Darius then

declared that - unlike the dead idols of the Medes and Persians - Daniel's God

was "the living God [who] endures forever" (v. 26). He alone "rescues

and . . . saves [and] performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the

earth" (v. 27). It's remarkable that even a pagan king acknowledged God's

power and sovereignty. Like a giant, divine "thumbtack," God's act of power

couldn't be overlooked.



Sometimes God gets our attention as He does something significant

and undeniable (v. 27) - supernatural rescues, right-on-time provisions,

and heart transformations. Other times, He works quietly as we watch and wait.

Let's stand in awe of what He's doing in and around us today - trusting in

Him and His great power (v. 23).



Reflect & Pray

Numbers 20



Edom Denies Israel Passage



14 (Jdg 11:16-17; Dt 23:7) Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom,

"Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the hardship that has found us,

15 (Ge 46:6; Ex 12:40) how our fathers went down into Egypt,

and we lived in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians distressed us

and our fathers.

16 (Ex 14:19; 23:20) And when we cried out to the Lord, He heard our voice

and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt.

"And here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.

17 (Dt 2:27) Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through

the fields or the vineyards, or drink of the water of the wells.

We will travel the king's highway. We will not turn to the right hand

nor the left, until we have passed through your territory."

18 Edom said to him,

"You will not pass through me, lest with the sword I come out against you."

19 (Dt 2:6; 2:28) The children of Israel said to him,

"We will travel the highway, and if we and our livestock drink of your water,

then we will pay for it. I will only go through on my feet

without doing anything else.."

20 (Jdg 11:17; Am 1:11) He said,

"You will not go through."

And Edom came out against them with many people and with a strong hand.

21 (Jdg 11:18; Dt 2:29) Edom refused to give Israel passage through

his territory, so Israel turned away from him.



[14] And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith

thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

[15] How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long

time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

[16] And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel,

and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a

city in the uttermost of thy border:

[17] Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through

the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of

the wells: we will go by the king's highway, we will not turn to the right

hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

[18] And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out

against thee with the sword.

[19] And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way:

and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will

only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

[20] And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him

with much people, and with a strong hand.

[21] Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore

Israel turned away from him.



The Death of Aaron



22 (Nu 20:1; 20:14) They journeyed from Kadesh, and the children of Israel,

even the whole assembly, came to Mount Hor.

23 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor,

by the border of the land of Edom, saying,

24 (Ge 25:8; Dt 32:50) "Aaron will be gathered to his people because

he will not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel

because you rebelled against Me at the water of Meribah.

25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor,

26 (Nu 20:24) and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar

his son, and Aaron will be gathered to his people, and he will die there."

27 Moses did as the Lord commanded, and they went up onto Mount Hor

in the sight of all the assembly.

28 (Dt 10:6; Ex 29:29-30) Moses stripped Aaron of his garments

and put them on Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there

on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar

came down from the mountain.

29 (Dt 34:8) When all the assembly saw that Aaron was dead,

they wept for Aaron thirty days, all the house of Israel.



[22] And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from

Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

[23] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of

the land of Edom, saying,

[24] Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into

the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled

against my word at the water of Meribah.

[25] Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

[26] And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and

Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.

[27] And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in

the sight of all the congregation.

[28] And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his

son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar

came down from the mount.

[29] And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for

Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

Arad Destroyed



1 (Nu 33:40; Jdg 1:16) When King Arad the Canaanite, who lived in the Negev,

heard that Israel came by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel and

took some of them captive.

2 (Ge 28:20; Jdg 11:30) Israel vowed a vow to the Lord and said,

"If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand,

then I will utterly destroy their cities."

3 (Nu 14:45; Dt 1:44) The Lord listened to the voice of Israel and delivered

up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities,

and he called the name of the place Hormah.



[1] And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell

that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and

took some of them prisoners.

[2] And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed

deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.

[3] And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the

Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called

the name of the place Hormah.



The Bronze Serpent



4 (Ex 6:9; Jdg 11:18) They journeyed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea,

to go around the land of Edom, and the soul of the people was

very discouraged because of the way.

5 (Ps 78:19) The people spoke against God and against Moses,

"Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness?

For there is no bread or water, and our soul loathes this worthless manna."

6 (Dt 8:15; Jer 8:17) So the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people,

and they bit the people, and many children of Israel died.

7 (Ex 8:8; Nu 11:2) So the people came to Moses and said,

"We have sinned for we have spoken against the Lord and against you.

Pray to the Lord, and He will take away the serpents from us."

And Moses prayed for the people.

8 The Lord said to Moses, "Make a poisonous serpent, and put it on a pole,

and it will be, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, will live."

9 (2Ki 18:4; Jn 3:14-15) Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on a pole,

and if a serpent had bitten any man,

when he looked at the bronze serpent he lived.



[4] And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass

the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of

the way.

[5] And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye

brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread,

neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

[6] And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the

people; and much people of Israel died.

[7] Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we

have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he

take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

[8] And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon

a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he

looketh upon it, shall live.

[9] And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came

to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of

brass, he lived.



The Journey to Moab



10 The children of Israel set out and camped in Oboth.

11 They journeyed from Oboth and camped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness,

which is before Moab toward the sunrise.

12 (Dt 2:13-14) From there they journeyed and camped in the Valley of Zered.

13 (Nu 22:36; Jdg 11:18) From there they journeyed and camped

on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes

out of the borders of the Amorites, for Arnon is the border of Moab,

between Moab and the Amorites.

14 Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Lord:

"Zahab in Suphah, and in the brooks

of Arnon,

15 (Nu 21:28; Dt 2:9) and at the stream of the brooks

that goes down to the dwelling of Ar,

and lies on the border of Moab."

16 (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:8) From there they went to Beer.

That is the well of which the Lord spoke to Moses,

"Gather the people together, and I will give them water."

17 (Ps 105:2) Then Israel sang this song:

"Spring up, O well!

sing to it -

18 the leaders dug the well;

the nobles of the people dug,

by the lawgiver, with their staffs."

And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah,

19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,

20 (Nu 23:28) and from Bamoth in the valley that is in the country

of Moab to the top of Pisgah, which looks toward Jeshimon.



[10] And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.

[11] And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ije-abarim, in the

wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.

[12] From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.

[13] From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which

is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for

Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

[14] Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did

in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,

[15] And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar,

and lieth upon the border of Moab.

[16] And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD

spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

[17] Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:

[18] The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the

direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they

went to Mattanah:

[19] And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

[20] And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the

top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.

Laws of Purification



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

2 (Dt 21:3; Lev 22:20-25) This is the statute of the law which the Lord has

commanded, saying: Tell the children of Israel that they will bring you

a healthy red heifer, which has no blemish,

and on which a yoke has never gone,

3 (Lev 4:12; 4:21) and you will give it to Eleazar the priest,

and he will bring it outside the camp, and it will be slaughtered before him.

4 (Lev 4:17; 4:6) And Eleazar the priest will take from its blood

with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood directly

before the tent of meeting seven times.

5 (Ex 29:14; Lev 4:11-12) Then it will be burned in his sight.

Its hide and its flesh and its blood, with her dung, will be burned.

6 (Lev 14:4; 14:6) And the priest will take cedar wood, and hyssop,

and scarlet and throw it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

7 (Lev 11:25) Then the priest will wash his clothes, and he will bathe

his body in water, and afterward he will come into the camp, and

the priest will be unclean until evening.

8 He who burns it will wash his clothes in water, and bathe his body

in water, and will be unclean until evening.

9 (Nu 19:13; Heb 9:13) A man who is clean will gather the ashes of the heifer

and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place, and it will be guarded

for the assembly of the children of Israel for water of purification.

It is for purifying from sin.

10 He that gathers the ashes of the heifer will wash his clothes

and be unclean until evening, and it will be for the children of Israel

and for the foreigner that lives among them, for an eternal statute.

11 (Nu 5:2; Lev 21:1) He that touches the dead body of any man will

be unclean seven days.

12 (Nu 31:19) He will make himself clean on the third day,

and on the seventh day he will be clean. But if he does not make himself

clean on the third day, then the seventh day he will not be clean.

13 (Lev 15:31; 22:3) Whoever touches the body of any man that is dead

and does not purify himself defiles the tabernacle of the Lord,

and that person will be cut off from Israel.

Because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him,

he will be unclean. His uncleanness is still on him.

14 This is the law, when a man dies in a tent. Each person who comes

into the tent and all that is in the tent will be unclean seven days.

15 (Lev 11:32; Nu 31:20) Every open vessel which has no covering

fastened on it is unclean.

16 (Nu 31:19; Mt 23:27) Whoever in the field touches one that is slain

with a sword, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave will

be unclean seven days.

17 For an unclean person they will take from the ashes of the burnt

sin offering, and running water will be on it in a vessel.

18 A clean person will take hyssop, and dip it in the water,

and splash it on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the people who

were there, and on him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead,

or a grave.

19 (Lev 14:9; Nu 19:12) The clean person will splash on the unclean person

on the third day and on the seventh day. And on the seventh day he shall

purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and he will be clean

at evening.

20 (Nu 19:13) But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself,

that person will be cut off from among the assembly

because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord.

The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him. He is unclean.

21 It will be an eternal statute to them.

He that sprinkles the water of purification will wash his clothes,

and he that touches the water of purification will be unclean until evening.

22 (Hag 2:13) Whatever the unclean person touches will be unclean,

and the person that touches it will be unclean until evening.



Numbers 19

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

[2] This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying,

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without

spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:

[3] And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her

forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:

[4] And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and

sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation

seven times:

[5] And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and

her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:

[6] And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast

it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.

[7] Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in

water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be

unclean until the even.

[8] And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his

flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.

[9] And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay

them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the

congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a

purification for sin.

[10] And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes,

and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel,

and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

[11] He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

[12] He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh

day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the

seventh day he shall not be clean.

[13] Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth

not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut

off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him,

he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

[14] This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the

tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

[15] And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is

unclean.

[16] And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open

fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean

seven days.

[17] And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt

heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a

vessel:

[18] And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and

sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons

that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one

dead, or a grave:

[19] And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day,

and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and

wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

[20] But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that

soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled

the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled

upon him; he is unclean.

[21] And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth

the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the

water of separation shall be unclean until even.

[22] And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the

soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.



NUMBERS 20



Moses Strikes the Rock



1 (Nu 13:21; Ex 15:20) Then the children of Israel, the whole assembly,

came to the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people dwelt

in Kadesh, and Miriam died there and was buried there.

2 (Nu 16:19; 16:42) And there was no water for the assembly, and they

gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 (Ex 17:2; Nu 16:31-35) The people argued with Moses, and spoke, saying,

"O that we had died when our brothers died before the Lord!

4 (Ex 17:3) And why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord

into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here?

5 (Nu 16:14) And why have you brought us up from Egypt, to bring

us into this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines,

or of pomegranates. Nor is there any water to drink."

6 (Nu 14:5; 16:4) Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly

to the door of the tent of meeting, and they fell on their faces,

and the glory of the Lord appeared to them.

7 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

8 (Ex 4:17; 17:5-6) Take the rod, and gather the assembly together,

you and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes,

and it will give its water, and you will bring out to them water

from the rock; so you will give the assembly and their livestock drink.

9 (Nu 17:10) So Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as He commanded him.

10 (Ps 106:32-33) Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock,

and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels.

Will we bring out water from this rock for you?"

11 (1Co 10:4; Ex 17:6) And Moses lifted up his hand, and he struck the rock

twice with his rod, and plenty of water came out, and the assembly drank,

and their livestock.

12 (Nu 27:14; Dt 1:37) The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron,

"Because you did not believe in Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of

the children of Israel, therefore you will not bring this assembly

into the land which I have given them"

13 (Ex 17:7; Ps 95:8) This is the water of Meribah

because the children of Israel argued with the Lord,

and He was sanctified among them.



[1] Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the

desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam

died there, and was buried there.

[2] And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered

themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

[3] And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we

had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

[4] And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this

wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

[5] And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in

unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of

pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

[6] And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and

the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

[7] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[8] Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy

brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give

forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock:

so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

[9] And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

[10] And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock,

and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of

this rock?

[11] And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice:

and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their

beasts also.

[12] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to

sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not

bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

[13] This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove

with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

Refreshing Generosity by Winn Collier



Proverbs 11:24-31



24 (Ps 112:9; Pr 19:17) There is one who scatters, yet increases;

and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.

25 (Mt 5:7) The generous soul will be made rich,

and he who waters will be watered also himself.

26 (Job 29:13) The people will curse him who withholds grain,

but blessing will be upon the head of him who sells it.

27 (Est 7:10; Ps 7:15-16) He who diligently seeks good procures favour,

but he who seeks mischief, it will come to him.

28 (Jer 17:8; Ps 1:3) He who trusts in his riches will fall,

but the righteous will flourish as a branch.

29 (Ecc 5:16) He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind,

and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30 (Jas 5:20; Pr 3:18) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,

and he who wins souls is wise.

31 (Jer 25:29) If the righteous will be recompensed in the earth,

how much more the wicked and the sinner.



24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;

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

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat:

And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

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

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

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour:

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

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:

But the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

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

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

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

And he that winneth souls is wise.

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

Much more the wicked and the sinner.



An auditorium full of medical students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine

listened intently as ninety-year-old Ruth Gottesman spoke. As she concluded,

Ruth announced - to the students' gasps, cheers, and pandemonium - that she

was donating $1 billion so they could finish their education tuition free.

This is the largest donation ever given to a medical school. Yet in the

interviews that followed, you would have thought that Gottesman was the one

receiving the gift. She expressed joy, delight, and honour to be able to give

her money away.



Proverbs tells us that this is how generosity works. The one

who "gives freely," far from being left diminished or bereft, finds blessings

they hadn't anticipated (11:24). When we open our hands to others, we're left

with something more - not less. "Whoever refreshes," Scripture says, "will be

refreshed" (v. 25). We're often tempted to tightly grip whatever we have,

fearful that we'll be taken advantage of or left with nothing. God's economy

works differently, however. Jesus went a step further, stating that

it's "more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).



We can be generous with our lives and our resources, offering what we have to

others in need. And then, in return we’ll find that we end up receiving too.

There's plenty for everyone in God’s kingdom.



Reflect & Pray



How has giving to others blessed you?

Where might God be asking you to be more generous?



Dear God, please help me to be generous like You,

and trust that I'll have all I need.

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 2 - Growing Up



2 Tim 3:16-17



16 (Ro 15:4) All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable

for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction

in righteousness,

17 (1Ti 6:11; 2Ti 2:21) that the man of God may be complete,

thoroughly equipped for every good work.



16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable

for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction

in righteousness:

17 that the man of God may be perfect,

throughly furnished unto all good works.



"I can't wait till I get big!" Marc, age 5, declared. "Then I do

what I want!" Most of us, as children, shared Marc's statement.

We looked forward to that "magic age" - 16, 18, 21 - when we

would be adults: mature, able to make our own decisions.

We find, of course, that adulthood has its own share of

difficulties and conflicts. But even in our spiritual lives

we often long for a "magic moment" of maturity. As one woman

confessed, "Ever since I became a Christian, I've hoped I'd wake up

one morning to find myself mature."

But growth in the spiritual life comes gradually, like growth in

the physical world. In 2 Tim 2:16-17, Paul gives the young pastor

Timothy an important key to spiritual growing up - the Word of God.

The Word is "profitable" or "useful," Paul says, for "teaching" - that is,

for developing a right concept of God. Scripture offers "rebuke" when

we go wrong, "correction" to set us on the right path, and "training

in righteousness" so that we can grow in the image of Christ.

The purpose of Scripture's work in our lives, Paul emphasises,

is that we may be "perfect" - mature, equipped for the good things

God has for us to do. Such maturity does not come easily

or instantaneously, but it does come - sometimes imperceptibly -

as we submit our lives to the transforming power of God's Word.

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:20-25



20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4-5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,

those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:

thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."



A Light Under a Basket



Lk 8:16-18



21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put

under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;

neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.

23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.

The measure you give will be measured for you,

and to you who hear will more be given.

25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.

And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."



20 And these are they which are sown on good ground;

such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,

some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put

under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;

neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,

it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25 For he that hath, to him shall be given:

and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

God's Help in Times of Temptation



Hebrews 4:14-16



Jesus the Great High Priest



14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2-3) Since then we have a great High Priest

Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold firmly to our confession.

15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest

who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses,

but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6-7) Let us then come with confidence

to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy

and find grace to help in time of need.



14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest,

that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest

which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;

but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly

unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,

and find grace to help in time of need.



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 Blue Nile, Sudan



Paulina grew up in Damazin, a city in Blue Nile, Sudan. When a pastor reached

out to her Muslim family, she was intrigued by the idea that she could become

a new creation. When she was 18, Paulina began to seek Jesus and her life

began to change. She saw God at work in her daily life and immediately began

sharing with her family and community.



Paulina later moved to her tribe's hometown, just over the border in South

Sudan. In 2011, this area became home to 130 000 refugees from Blue Nile's

numerous tribes. Thousands more refugees arrived more recently from elsewhere

in Sudan as civil war tore the country.



God told Paulina in a dream: "Unless you saturate this place with the Word of

God, it will never change!" So Paulina began to gather women from different

churches for prayer and outreach. She often visited local hospitals and prayed

for sick patients. However, Paulina lacked resources to get to the refugee

camps. So, she prayed. And God provided.



Paulina recently got to know people who help her travel to the camps

and connect with unreached tribes. They provide audio resources for her to

share with those eager to know more. Almost every day she visits women, prays

for their needs, and tells them about Jesus. She feels happy as she sees God

at work changing these communities.

7) Prayers for the nation (Canada) coming from Prayer map of Canada



http://www.ehc.ca



2nd Day of the Month



a) Pray for the Church to make the Gospel accessible to all Canadians (

Rom 10:14-15 -

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not

believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 I And how shall they preach

unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of

those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring good news of good

things!"

)



b) Pray that Christian Leaders would seek God's heart for vision,wisdom

and direction. (

Jer 33:3

- Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you

great and mighty things which you do not know.

)



Eight) Day 8 - New work requires new thinking.



Scripture: Romans 12:1–2



1 (1Pe 2:5; Ro 6:13; 6:16) I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies

of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy,

and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship.

2 (Ro 12:1; 1Pe 1:14) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good

and acceptable and perfect will of God.



[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye

present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is

your reasonable service.

[2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the

renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,

and perfect, will of God.

If you could go anywhere, where would you want to go? Not just for a vacation,

but in the direction of your life. The answer to that question is crucial,

because all of us are on a journey - whether we realize it or not. Every day

we move closer to the end of our lives, and the real question is not whether

we are traveling, but where we are headed.



We can simply drift along with the current of this world, allowing its values

and expectations to determine our destination; or we can consciously choose

the path God has laid out for us. The decision is completely ours.



That is why the Apostle Paul urges us: "Offer your bodies as a living

sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God… Do not conform to the pattern of this

world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” When we choose to

renew our minds and surrender our lives to God, we stop wandering aimlessly

and begin walking toward a clear destination: God’s will, which is good,

pleasing, and perfect.



True success is not about arriving where the world applauds, but about

reaching the place God has prepared for us. Choosing that destination

transforms our journey and gives eternal purpose to every step we take.



---



Questions:



A. Where am I letting the world determine the direction of my life?

Where am I making intentional decisions that reflect a renewed mind

aligned with God’s will?



B. If I were to evaluate my "destination" today, could I honestly say that I

am offering my life as a living, holy, and pleasing sacrifice to God? How do

I need to redirect my path toward His good, pleasing, and perfect will?



Prayer:



- Lord God, today we want to offer our lives to You as a living, holy,

and pleasing sacrifice. We ask You to renew our minds so that we do not

conform to this world, but instead walk in Your good, pleasing,

and perfect will. In Jesus' name, Amen.



- Help us, as a Christian community, not to wander aimlessly, but to serve

with purpose, knowing that our true destination is to fulfill Your will

in every area of our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.



Prayer Request:



- Join us today in prayer for our maintenance department. Give our team

willing and faithful hearts to serve with excellence and joy, understanding

that every task - no matter how small it may seem - is an act of worship to

You. Grant them unity, responsibility, and wisdom to care for Your house with

order and dedication, reflecting Your character in everything we do. May

every clean, safe, and well-cared-for space be a testimony to the community - a p

lace where people can encounter You in a welcoming and dignified environment.

In Jesus' name Amen.

Numbers 18



Offerings for Priests and Levites



8 (Lev 6:16; Ex 29:29) The Lord spoke to Aaron: I have certainly given you

the charge of the offerings made to Me, all the hallowed gifts of

the children of Israel. To you and to your sons have I given them

as a portion, as an ordinance forever.

9 (Lev 7:7; 4:22) This will be yours of the most holy things,

reserved from the fire: All of their offerings, all of their grain offerings

and all of their sin offerings, and all of their guilt offerings,

which they render to Me, will be most holy for you and for your sons.

10 (Lev 6:29; 7:6) In a most holy place shall you eat it; every male

shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.

11 (Dt 18:3; Ex 29:27-28) This is yours: the offering of their gift,

with all the wave offerings

of the children of Israel. I have given them to you and to your

sons and to your daughters with you, as an eternal statute.

Everyone who is clean in your house will eat of it.

12 (Ex 23:19; Dt 18:4) All the best of the oil,

and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first fruits of what

they will offer to the Lord, those have I given to you.

13 (Ex 22:29) The first ripe fruit of all which is in their land, which they

will bring to the Lord, will be yours. Everyone who is clean in your

house will eat of it.

14 (Lev 27:28) Everything devoted in Israel will be yours.

15 (Ex 34:20; 13:2) Everything that opens the womb of all flesh,

which they bring to the Lord, whether it is of men or animals,

will be yours. However, you will surely redeem the firstborn of man,

and the firstborn of unclean beasts you will redeem.

16 (Ex 30:13; Nu 3:47) Their redemption price, reckoned

from one month of age, is five shekels,

[About 2 ounces, or 58 grams. ] after the shekel of the sanctuary,

which is twenty gerahs.

17 But the firstborn of a herd animal, or the firstborn of a sheep,

or the firstborn of a goat, you will not redeem. They are holy.

You will splash their blood on the altar and will burn their fat

as a fire offering, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

18 Their flesh will be yours, as the wave breast

and as the right shoulder are yours.

19 (2Ch 13:5; Lev 2:13) All the offerings of the holy things which

the children of Israel offer to the Lord I have given to you,

and to your sons and your daughters with you, as an eternal statute.

It is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord, to you

and to your seed with you.

20 (Dt 10:9; 12:12) The Lord said to Aaron: You will not have an inheritance

in their land, nor will you have any territory among them. I am your

territory and your inheritance among the children of Israel.



[8] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge

of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of

Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy

sons, by an ordinance for ever.

[9] This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire:

every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin

offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall

render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

[10] In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it

shall be holy unto thee.

[11] And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave

offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy

sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that

is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

[12] All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the

wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them

have I given thee.

[13] And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto

the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat

of it.

[14] Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

[15] Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto

the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the

firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean

beasts shalt thou redeem.

[16] And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem,

according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the

shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

[17] But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the

firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt

sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an

offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

[18] And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the

right shoulder are thine.

[19] All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of

Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy

daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for

ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

[20] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their

land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine

inheritance among the children of Israel.



Tithes for Supporting the Levites



21 (Dt 14:22-29; Ne 10:37) I have given the children of Levi all the tithes

in Israel for an inheritance, for their service, which they serve,

even the service of the tent of meeting.

22 (Lev 22:9) Hereafter, the children of Israel shall not come

near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die.

23 (Nu 3:7) But the Levites will do the service of the tent of meeting,

and they will bear their iniquity. It will be an eternal statute throughout

your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

24 (Nu 18:26 )But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer

as an offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit.

Therefore I have said to them, among the children of Israel

they will have no inheritance.



[21] And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel

for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of

the tabernacle of the congregation.

[22] Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle

of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

[23] But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the

congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for

ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they

have no inheritance.

[24] But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave

offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I

have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no

inheritance.



The Tithe of the Levites



25 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

26 (Ne 10:38) You will speak to the Levites, and say to them:

When you take from the children of Israel the tithes that I have given you

from them for your inheritance, then you will offer up an offering of

it to the Lord, even one-tenth of the tithe.

27 (Nu 18:30) And this offering will be counted to you, as though it was

the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

28 Thus you also will set apart an offering to the Lord from all the tithes

which you receive from the children of Israel. Out of them you will give

the offering of the Lord to Aaron the priest.

29 Out of all your gifts you shall present every offering due to the Lord,

from all the best of them, the consecrated part of them.

30 You will say to them: When you have offered the best from it,

then it will be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshing

floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 (Mt 10:10; Lk 10:7) You will eat it in every place,

you and your households, because it is your reward

for your service in the tent of meeting.

32 (Lev 19:8; 22:2) You will bear no sin because of it,

when you have offered the best of it. The holy things of the children

of Israel you will not pollute, and you will not die.



[25] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[26] Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the

children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your

inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD,

even a tenth part of the tithe.

[27] And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it

were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

[28] Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your

tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give

thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

[29] Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD,

of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

[30] Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best

thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase

of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

[31] And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is

your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

[32] And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it

the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of

Israel, lest ye die.

Numbers 16



The People Complain



41 (Nu 14:2) But the next day all the assembly of the children of Israel

murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying,

"You have killed the people of the Lord."

42 (Nu 16:19; Lev 9:23) When the assembly was gathered

against Moses and Aaron, they looked toward the tent of meeting.

The cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

43 Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.

44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

45 (Nu 16:24; 16:21-22) "Get up from among this assembly,

that I may destroy them in a moment." And they fell on their faces.

46 (Lev 10:6; Nu 8:19) Moses said to Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire

in it from off the altar, and put in incense, and go quickly to the assembly,

and make an atonement for them, because wrath has gone out from the Lord.

The plague has begun."

47 Aaron took it as Moses commanded and ran into the midst of the assembly,

where the plague had begun among the people. He put in incense

and made an atonement for the

48 (2Sa 24:25) He stood between the dead and the living,

and the plague was stopped.

49 (Nu 25:9) Now those who died in the plague were 14700,

besides those that died concerning the thing of Korah.

50 Aaron returned to Moses, to the door of the tent of meeting,

and the plague was stopped.



[41] But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel

murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people

of the LORD.

[42] And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses

and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the

congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD

appeared.

[43] And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

[44] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[45] Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in

a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

[46] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off

the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and

make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the

plague is begun.

[47] And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the

congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put

on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

[48] And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was

stayed.

[49] Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven

hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

[50] And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation: and the plague was stayed.



(Why rebel againt the Saviour and creator?)



NUMBERS 17



The Budding of Aaron's Rod



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take from them a rod,

a rod for the house of their fathers, from all their leaders

according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods.

Write each man's name on his rod.

3 You will write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi,

because one rod will be for each father's house.

4 You will lay them in the tent of meeting before the testimony,

where I will meet with you.

5 (Nu 16:5; 16:11) It will be that the rod of the man

whom I choose will bud.

Thus I will rid myself of the complaints of the children of Israel,

that they have been making against you.

6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each one of their leaders

gave him a rod, one for each leader, according to their fathers' houses,

even twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

7 (Ex 38:21; Ac 7:44) Moses laid the rods before the Lord

in the tent of witness.

8 (Eze 17:24) When Moses went into the tent of witness the next day,

the rod of Aaron, for the house of Levi, had sprouted.

It brought forth buds, produced blossoms, and yielded almonds.

9 Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to

all the children of Israel, and they looked, and each man took his rod.

10 (Nu 16:38; Heb 9:4) The Lord said to Moses, "Return the rod of Aaron

before the testimony, to be kept for a warning to rebels,

that you may put an end to their complaints before Me,

or else they will die."

11 Moses did so. As the Lord commanded him, so he did.

12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Behold, we expire,

we perish, we all perish.

13 Anyone approaching the tabernacle of the Lord will die.

Are we all to perish?"



Numbers 17

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod

according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to

the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his

rod.

[3] And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod

shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

[4] And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before

the testimony, where I will meet with you.

[5] And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose,

shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the

children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

[6] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their

princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their

fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their

rods.

[7] And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

[8] And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle

of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded,

and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

[9] And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the

children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

[10] And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the

testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite

take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

[11] And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

[12] And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we

perish, we all perish.

[13] Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall

die: shall we be consumed with dying?



(Oh ye of little faith)



NUMBERS 18



Duties of Priests and Levites



1 (Ex 28:38) And the Lord said to Aaron: You and your sons and your father's

house with you will bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, and you and your sons

with you will bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 (Ge 29:34; Nu 18:4) Your brothers also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of

your father, bring with you, and let them be joined with you, and minister

to you. But you and your sons with you will minister before the tent of

witness.

3 (Nu 4:15; 3:25) They will perform duties for you and for the whole tent;

but they will not come near the vessels of the sanctuary or the altar,

so that neither they nor you die.

4 They will be joined to you and perform the duties of the tent of meeting,

for all the service of the tent; no foreigner will come near you.

5 (Ex 27:21; Lev 24:3) You yourselves will perform the duties

of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, so that wrath may never come

upon the children of Israel again.

6 (Nu 3:9; 3:12) I Myself have taken your brothers, the Levites, from among

the children of Israel; they are given to you as a gift from the Lord to perform

the service of the tent of meeting.

7 (Nu 3:10_ And you and your sons with you will attend to your priesthood

for everything at the altar, and within the veil, and you will serve. I have

given your priesthood to you as a gift service, and the foreigner that

comes near will be put to death.



[1] And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house

with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons

with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

[2] And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father,

bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto

thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle

of witness.

[3] And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle:

only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar,

that neither they, nor ye also, die.

[4] And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the

tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a

stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

[5] And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the

altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

[6] And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the

children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the

service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[7] Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office

for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I

have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the

stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

NUMBERS 16



Opposition to Moses and Aaron



1 (Jude 1:11; Ex 6:21) Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath,

the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab,

and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men,

2 (Nu 26:9) and they rose up before Moses and men of the children of Israel,

two hundred and fifty chiefs of the assembly, famous in the assembly,

well-known men.

3 (Ps 106:16; Ex 19:6) They assembled against Moses and against Aaron,

and said to them, "You take too much upon yourselves, seeing

all the congregation are holy, every one of them,

and the Lord is among them. So why do you exalt yourselves

above the assembly of the Lord?"

4 (Nu 14:5; 20:6) And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face,

5 (Lev 10:3; Nu 17:5) and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying,

"In the morning the Lord will show who is His and who is holy, and He will

bring him to come near to Him. Whom He has chosen He will bring near to Him.

6 (Lev 10:1) Do this: Take censers, Korah and all his company;

7 (Nu 16:3) put fire in them, and put incense in them before the Lord

tomorrow, and it will be that the man whom the Lord chooses, he will be holy.

You take too much upon yourselves, sons of Levi."

8 Moses said to Korah, "Listen, please, sons of Levi.

9 (Dt 10:8; Isa 7:13) Does it seem a small thing to you that the God of Israel

has separated you from the assembly of Israel to bring you near to Himself

to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand

before the assembly to minister to them?

10 And He has brought you near to Him, and all your brothers,

the sons of Levi, with you, and you also seek the priesthood?

11 (Ex 16:7-8; 1Co 3:5) Therefore both you and all your company are gathered

together against the Lord, and who is Aaron that you murmur against him?"

12 And Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, who said,

"We will not come

13 (Ac 7:35; Ex 2:14) Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out

of a land that flows with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness

because you make yourself a prince over us?

14 (Lev 20:24) Moreover you have not brought us into a land that flows

with milk and honey nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards.

Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up."

15 (Ge 4:4-5; 2Co 7:2) Moses was very angry and said to the Lord,

"Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from

them, nor have I hurt one of them."

16 (1Sa 12:3; 12:7) Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company

be before the Lord, you and them and Aaron, tomorrow.

17 Let each man take his censer and put incense in it,

and each of you bring his censer before the Lord,

two hundred and fifty censers. Also you and Aaron shall each bring his censer."

18 Every man took his censer and put fire in it, and laid incense on it,

and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

19 (Nu 14:10; 16:42) Korah gathered all the assembly against them to the door

of the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the assembly.

20 The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

21 (Ex 32:10; Nu 16:45) Separate yourselves from among this assembly,

that I may consume them in a moment.

22 (Nu 27:16; Ge 18:23-25) They fell on their faces and said,

"O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, will one man sin

and You will be angry with all the assembly?"

23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24 Speak to the assembly, saying: Get up from around

the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

25 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram,

and the elders of Israel followed him.

26 (Isa 52:11; 2Co 6:17) He spoke to the assembly, saying,

"Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch

nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away for all their sins."

27 So they got up from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram,

on every side, and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood

in the opening of their tents, and their wives, and their sons,

and their children.

28 (Ex 3:12; Jer 23:16) Moses said, "By this you will know that

the Lord has sent me to do all these works, because I have not

done them of my own mind.

29 (1Ki 22:28) If these men die the common death of all men,

or if they are visited after the visitation of all men,

then the Lord has not sent me.

30 (Ps 55:15; Nu 16:33) But if the Lord makes a new thing,

and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them with all that

belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit,

then you will know that these men have despised the Lord."

31 (Nu 27:3; Dt 11:6) So it was, when he finished speaking

all these words, that the ground that was under them split open.

32 (Nu 26:11; 1Ch 6:22) And the earth opened its mouth

and swallowed them, and their houses, and all the men

that belonged to Korah, and all their goods.

33 (Jude 1:11) And they and all that belonged to them went down

alive into the pit, and the earth closed on them, and they perished

from among the assembly.

34 All Israel that was around them fled at their cry because they said,

"The earth will swallow us also."

35 (Lev 10:2; Nu 26:10) A fire went out from the Lord and consumed

the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

36 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

37 Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers

out of the blaze, for they are holy. Then scatter the fire far and wide.

38 (Nu 26:10; Pr 20:2) As for the censers of these men who have sinned

at the cost of their own lives, make them into hammered plates

as a covering for the altar, for they presented them before the Lord

and they are holy. They shall be a sign to the children of Israel.

39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were

burned had offered, and they were hammered out as a covering on the altar,

40 (Nu 3:10) to be a memorial to the children of Israel, that no outsider,

who is not of the descendants of Aaron, shall approach to offer incense

before the Lord, that he might not become like Korah and his company,

as the Lord has said to him through Moses.



Numbers 16

[1] Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and

Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of

Reuben, took men:

[2] And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel,

two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation,

men of renown:

[3] And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron,

and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation

are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift

ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

[4] And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

[5] And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow

the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come

near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto

him.

[6] This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

[7] And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow:

and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye

take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

[8] And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

[9] Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath

separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself

to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the

congregation to minister unto them?

[10] And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of

Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

[11] For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together

against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

[12] And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which

said, We will not come up:

[13] Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that

floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make

thyself altogether a prince over us?

[14] Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk

and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put

out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

[15] And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou

their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one

of them.

[16] And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD,

thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

[17] And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye

before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou

also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

[18] And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid

incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation

with Moses and Aaron.

[19] And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of

the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto

all the congregation.

[20] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

[21] Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume

them in a moment.

[22] And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits

of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the

congregation?

[23] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[24] Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the

tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

[25] And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of

Israel followed him.

[26] And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from

the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be

consumed in all their sins.

[27] So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on

every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their

tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

[28] And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do

all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

[29] If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited

after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.

[30] But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and

swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick

into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the

LORD.

[31] And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words,

that the ground clave asunder that was under them:

[32] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their

houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

[33] They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit,

and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the

congregation.

[34] And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for

they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

[35] And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred

and fifty men that offered incense.

[36] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[37] Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the

censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are

hallowed.

[38] The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make

them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before

the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the

children of Israel.

[39] And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that

were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of

the altar:

[40] To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which

is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD;

that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the

hand of Moses.

Understanding Post-Quantum Cryptography and CSR Key Sizes

The process of generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and associated key material has long relied on public-key algorithms such as RSA. In the original post you focused on generating a 1024-bit RSA CSR, which was once considered secure — but the security landscape has changed significantly.

Today, 1024-bit RSA is no longer considered secure for modern HTTPS, code signing, or other PKI use cases. It is vulnerable to classical attacks, and — crucially — even larger key sizes like 2048 or 3072 bits will become vulnerable once sufficiently large quantum computers are built.

Why 1024-bit RSA Is Insecure Today

• Modern classical factoring algorithms (e.g., general number field sieve) can factor 1024-bit RSA in feasible time for well-funded attackers.



• Most Certificate Authorities (CAs) today reject CSRs with RSA keys smaller than 2048 bits.



• Guardian projects (e.g., EFF’s TLS Observatory) report negligible deployment of 1024-bit RSA in secure configurations.

Why Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)?

Most public-key cryptography in use — including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECDSA/Ed25519) — is vulnerable to large quantum computers.

A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm would break RSA and ECC by factoring or solving discrete log problems efficiently.

To address this, NIST has standardized a set of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that are believed to be secure against both classical and quantum attacks. These algorithms combine with existing standards to form hybrid key schemes for transition.

Current Best Practices for CSRs

• Do not generate 1024-bit RSA keys — they are insecure today.



• Use at least RSA 3072 if you must use RSA for compatibility.



• Prefer modern schemes such as ECC (e.g., ECDSA P-256, Ed25519) for classical security.



• Consider hybrid keys combining classical + post-quantum algorithms (if supported by your CA or software).



• Follow NIST recommendations for transitioning to post-quantum algorithms. See NIST SP 800-208 and NIST PQC project outputs.

Example: Post-Quantum-Aware CSR Generation

The following command generates a more secure key and CSR using Ed25519 (modern elliptic curve key):

# generate an Ed25519 private key


openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out client_ed25519.key





# create CSR with the new key


openssl req -new \


  -key client_ed25519.key \


  -out client_ed25519.csr \


  -subj "/C=CA/ST=YourState/L=YourCity/O=YourOrg/CN=your.domain"

For hybrid classical + PQC (once supported), you would generate both key types and submit a combined CSR or use CA tooling that supports PQC extensions.

About Post-Quantum Standards

• NIST PQC Standardization: NIST has finalized several post-quantum key-establishment and signature schemes such as CRYSTALS-Kyber (KEM) and CRYSTALS-Dilithium (signatures).



• These schemes are being integrated into TLS, code signing, SSH, and other protocols via hybrid modes.



• Major software stacks (OpenSSL, BoringSSL, OpenSSH) are gradually adding PQC support.

Bottom line: if you are generating CSRs today for real-world use, avoid 1024-bit RSA entirely and plan your migration path toward post-quantum resilient key material.

7) Prayers for the nation (Canada) coming from Prayer map of Canada



http://www.ehc.ca



1st Day of the month



1) Pray for an outpouring of God's Holy Spirit on Canada



(

Joel 2:28 And it will be that, afterwards,

I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream

dreams, and your young men will see visions.



28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon

all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men

shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:



Acts 2:17 "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.



17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,

I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

And your young men shall see visions,

And your old men shall dream dreams:



)



2) Pray that the heart of our Prime Minister

would be directed to do that which pleases God



(Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord,

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



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

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



)



Eight) Day 7 - New seasons begin when God declares "now."



Scripture: Mark 1:15



15 (Gal 4:4; Ac 20:21; Eph 1:10) saying, "The time is fulfilled,

and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel."



[15] And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:

repent ye, and believe the gospel.



---



When Jesus steps onto the scene in Mark 1, His first public words are

a declaration: "The time is fulfilled." In other words, now. God's

long-promised moment has arrived. A new season is breaking in - but it

requires a response. "Repent and believe."



In the Kingdom of God, new seasons do not begin simply because time passes.

They begin when God declares now and when His people make room for what He

wants to do. Repentance, in this sense, is not just turning away from sin;

it is a re-orientation of the heart. It is surrendering old ways of thinking,

old attachments, old controls that no longer belong in the new season God is

unfolding.



Before seeds are planted, the ground must be prepared. Stones removed. Weeds

uprooted. Soil turned over. Consecration is God's invitation to let Him work

beneath the surface - to expose what crowds our hearts and competes with our

trust. Surrender creates space. It clears the ground so something new can

take root and grow.



Fasting and prayer help us notice what we've been holding onto - habits,

fears, ambitions, comforts, even good things—that quietly resist God's work in

our life. Jesus' call to believe follows repentance because faith flourishes

best in surrendered soil. Where control loosens, trust deepens.



If God is declaring now over your life, the question is not whether He is

ready - but whether the ground is.



---



Listening Prayer:



"Holy Spirit ...



- What could I surrender to make space for God's new work?"



- Where might I be clinging to the old season,

even as God is inviting me to step into now?"



Prayer Items:



Please pray for the leadership of Calvary...



A. Unified Discernment and Spiritual Clarity.



Pray that the elders would be deeply aligned with the Holy Spirit - hearing

God clearly, responding faithfully, and walking in unity as they discern

His direction for Calvary in this season (Acts 13:2).



2 (Ac 9:15; 2Ti 1:11) As they worshipped the Lord and fasted,

the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work

to which I have called them."

[2] As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,

Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them



B. Godly Wisdom and Courageous Leadership



Ask God to grant wisdom that is both biblical and practical, along with the

courage to lead decisively, even when choices are costly, countercultural,

or require long-term faith over short-term comfort (James 1:5).



5 (Pr 2:3-6; Jn 15:7) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,

who gives to all men liberally and without criticism,

and it will be given to him.



[5] If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men

liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.



C. Protection, Integrity, and Spiritual Health



Pray for spiritual covering over each elder and their families - protection

from discouragement, division, temptation, and fatigue - and for lives marked

by humility, holiness, and integrity (1 Peter 5:2–3).



2 (1Ti 3:8; 3:3) Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, take care

of them, not by constraint, but willingly, not for dishonest gain,

but eagerly.

3 (Eze 34:4; Php 3:17) Do not lord over those in your charge,

but be examples to the flock.



[2] Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,

not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

[3] Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the

flock.



D. Fruitfulness and Gospel Impact at Calvary



Pray that Calvary would bear lasting fruit - lives transformed, leaders raised

up, disciples made, and the community reached—through the elders' faithful

stewardship and obedience to God’s calling (John 15:16).



16 (Jn 13:18; 6:7) You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you,

that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain,

that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name.



[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye

should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that

whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Numbers 15





37 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

38 (Dt 22:12; Mt 23:5) Speak to the children of Israel,

and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments

throughout the generations to come, and they will put a ribbon of blue on the

corners of their garments.

39 (Ps 73:27; Eze 6:9) And it will be for you a tassel, and you will see it,

and you will remember all the commandments of the Lord, and you will do them,

and you will not follow the lust of your own heart and your own eyes.

40 (Lev 11:44-45; Ro 12:1) So shall you remember and do all My commandments,

and be holy to your God.

41 (Lev 22:33) I am the Lord your God who brought you

out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.



[37] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[38] Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them

fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and

that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:

[39] And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and

remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not

after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

[40] That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your

God.

[41] I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to

be your God: I am the LORD your God.



Psalm 90



1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place

in all generations.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Before the mountains were brought forth,

or You had formed the earth and the world,

even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You return man to the dust

and say, "Return, you children of men."

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For a thousand years in Your sight

are but as yesterday when it is past,

or as a night watch in the night time.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You carry them away as with a flood;

they are as a dream, like renewed grass in the morning:

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) In the morning it flourishes and grows up;

in the evening it fades and withers.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) For we are consumed by Your anger,

and by Your wrath we are terrified.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) You have set our iniquities before You,

even our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For all our days pass away in your wrath;

we end our years with a groan.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The years of our life are seventy,

and if by reason of strength eighty;

yet their length is toil and sorrow,

for they soon end, and we fly away.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Who knows the power of Your anger?

Or Your wrath according to Your fear?

12 So teach us to number our days,

that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord, how long?

Have mercy on Your servants.

14 Satisfy us in the early morning with Your mercy,

that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the days that You have afflicted us,

and the years that we have seen evil.

16 Let Your work be displayed to Your servants

and Your glory to their children.

17 Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,

and establish the work of our hands among us;

yes, establish the work of our hands.



Psalm 90

[1] LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

[2] Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the

earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

[3] Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

[4] For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,

and as a watch in the night.

[5] Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the

morning they are like grass which groweth up.

[6] In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut

down, and withereth.

[7] For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

[8] Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light

of thy countenance.

[9] For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a

tale that is told.

[10] The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of

strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow;

for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

[11] Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is

thy wrath.

[12] So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto

wisdom.

[13] Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy

servants.

[14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all

our days.

[15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and

the years wherein we have seen evil.

[16] Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their

children.

[17] And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou

the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Go and Tell of Jesus by Nancy Gavilanes



Romans 10:12-15



12 (Ro 3:22; 2:4) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek,

for the same Lord over all is generous toward all who call upon Him.

13 (Ac 2:21; Joel 2:32) For, "Everyone who calls on the name

of the Lord shall be saved."(Joel 2:32.)

14 (Titus 1:3) How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not

believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 (Isa 52:7; Na 1:15) And how shall they preach unless they are sent?

As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach

the gospel of peace, who bring good news of good things!"(Isa 52:7.)



[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same

Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

[14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how

shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they

hear without a preacher?

[15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How

beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring

glad tidings of good things!



As our bus traveled higher and higher on the narrow road along the Andes

Mountains, my teammates were busy laughing and singing. I was staring out my

window - aghast that there weren't any guardrails between us and the abyss to

our right. I was feeling a bit fearful and anxious as we kept going up and up

and up, and I started to wonder why our short-term mission team had come to

this remote part of Ecuador. Then it dawned on me: God must really love these

people if He would send His own Son to die for them. Surely I could get

through a scary bus ride to express that love with them.



It ended up being such a joy to do short Bible lessons, share our testimonies,

and pray with the people who welcomed us in the various towns we visited each

day.



The apostle Paul was committed to telling others about Jesus so they too could

put their trust in Him. In Romans 10:13 he says that all who call on Jesus

"will be saved." But "how can they believe in the one of whom they have not

heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can

anyone preach unless they are sent?" (Romans 10:14-15).



There are people all around us who don't know Christ. Let's ask God for the

courage to share the good news of Jesus with others, pray with them, and

invite them to a church service or activity.



Reflect & Pray



How can you share the message of Christ with those who don’t know Him?

What tangible things can you do this week to show someone that you care?



Dear God, please help me to share Jesus.

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 1 - God's Perspective



Philippians 4:13



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

of Christ who strengthens me.



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



Many of us live out self-fulfilling prophecies. We believe

what we tell ourselves - or what we have been told by others:

"You're stupid", "You're ugly", "You'll never amount to anything,"

"You can't do anything right."

We programme ourselves for spiritual failure as well.

"I just can't memorise Scripture," we say. "It comes and goes,

and I can't seem to get it to stay." Yet daily we memorise

volumes of information that is less significant than the

Scriptures - telephone numbers, identification codes,

songs lyrics, advertising jingles.

The answer to the dilemma of negativism is not positive

thinking, but right thinking - biblical thinking, according

to what the Bible reveals of God's perspective. God says,

"You are worthwhile. You are valued. You are loved. I created you

just as you are, and whatever I call you to do,

I will give you the strength to do it.

The context of Phillipians 4:13 shows that Paul had learned

this important secret of spiritual strength. Paul had known

poverty and plenty, trouble and victory. But he also knew

he did not have to let circumstances determine his response to God's will.

We need not be controlled by the negative messages life throws in our paths

- even those self-defeating pronouncements we make to ourselves.

Rather, we can respond according to God's perspective, with the

conviction that God has given us strength we need to meet the

challenges we face.



Application



a) What challenges do I face that make me realise my own insufficiencies?

IS memorising Scripture one of those challenges for me?



b) How does today's memory verse help me face those challenges?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Joshua 1:5



5 (Dt 7:24; 31:6-8) No man will be able to stand against you all the days

of your life. As I was with Moses, I will be with you. I will not

abandon you. I will not leave you.



5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy

life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee,

nor forsake thee.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



1 Cor 10:1-13



1 Corinthians 10



Warning Against Idolatry



1 (Ex 14:29; Ps 66:6) I would not want you to be unaware that

all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 (Ex 16:35; Dt 8:3) all ate the same spiritual food;

4 (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11) and all drank the same spiritual drink,

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,

and that Rock was Christ.

5 (Heb 3:17; Jude 1:5) But with many of them God was not well pleased,

and they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 (Nu 11:4; 1Co 10:11) Now these things were our examples to the intent

that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.

7 (Ex 32:19; 32:4) Neither be idolaters as were some of them.

As it is written,

"The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to revel." (Ex 32:6. )

8 (Nu 25:1-9; 1Co 6:18) Neither let us commit sexual immorality as some

of them committed, when 23000 fell in one day.

9 (Nu 21:5-6; Ex 17:2) Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them

also tempted and were destroyed by serpents.

10 (Ex 12:23; Nu 16:41) Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured

and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 (Ro 13:11) Now all these things happened to them for examples.

They are written as an admonition to us,

upon whom the end of the ages has come.

12 (Ro 11:20) Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed,

lest he fall.

13 (1Co 1:9; 2Pe 2:9) No temptation has taken you except what is common

to man. God is faithful, and He will not permit you to be tempted above

what you can endure, but will with the temptation also make a way

to escape, that you may be able to bear it.



1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all

our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 and did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that

spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased:

for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust

after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written,

The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed,

and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted,

and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured,

and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:

and they are written for our admonition,

upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:

but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted

above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also

make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.



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.

Pray for Iranians in Greece



Growing up in Iran, Layla had many unanswered questions about faith and

nothing to comfort her throughout the many difficult circumstances in her

life. She married, had a daughter, and moved to Iraq. Eventually, her husband

passed away and Layla and daughter struggled to survive.



Eventually, Layla lost her job and most of her possessions. Then she suffered

a series of heart attacks. In a panic, Layla cried out, "God, help me! My

daughter is all alone." Despite her lack of funds, she was taken to a hospital

where she received heart surgery from a kind Christian surgeon. Her surgery

was not only successful, but the doctor encouraged her, saying,

"God is healing your heart."



Layla remembers how a "strange warmth" came over her and she felt like she was

born again. That day, Layla believed, and made a covenant with God to serve

him for as long as she has breath.



Layla and her daughter travelled to Greece along the refugee highway where God

told her clearly, "Layla, I have work for you, and you must seek out those who

have lost their way, those who are homeless." God used her first to translate

Al Massira, a film based course which leads seekers on a journey through the

Old Testament prophets, culminating in an invitation to follow Jesus

the Messiah.





See also Pray for Yemeni Women



Layla now serves at a refugee centre, where people arrive hungry and

exhausted. She reaches out to them with God’s love and offers prayer. In

addition, she often invites them into her home where she cooks for them

and leads them through the Al Massira course. Many of these have found a new

home in Jesus.



How to Pray



Pray for peace in Iran during this time of political turmoil and war.



Pray that refugees facing hardship and despair would encounter

Jesus the Messiah.



Ask God to equip churches to embrace new believers from a Muslim

background and see them grounded in the Word.





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, ...) .
