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



When you are Saddened by Loss



1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57



35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up?

With what body do they come?"

36 You fool! What you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

37 When you sow, you do not sow the body that shall be, but a bare kernel,

perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

38 Then God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.



51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall

all be changed.

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet,

for the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible,

and we shall be changed.

53 For tis corruptible will put on incorruption,

and this mortal will put on immortality.

54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,

and this mortal will have put on immortality,

then the saying that is written shall come to pass:

"Death is swallowed up in victory."

55 "O death, where is your sting?

O grave, where is your victory?"

56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through

our Lord Jesus Christ!



35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up?

and with what body do they come?

36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:

37 and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,

but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

38 but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him,

and to every seed his own body.



51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall

all be changed,

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:

for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,

and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,

and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,

and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought

to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through

our Lord Jesus Christ.

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



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



Adding further





Pray for the Sundanese



Ibu Asih began a new job at a Christian-owned business, where many employees

were believers. She had five dreams about Jesus over the course of a year but

didn't tell anyone about it. Eventually, Ibu Asih began to open up about her

faith with her coworkers.



She eventually began studying the Bible with several Jesus-followers at work.

Then, while riding on her motorbike one day, she was suddenly overwhelmed

with the reality of God's love for her. She was so moved that she began

sobbing. When she arrived home, she hugged her family and wept, "The love of

God! I love you!"



Ibu Asih's impactful experience of the love of God through Jesus led to both

her husband and her mother beginning to follow Jesus. Later, her husband began

to doubt his new faith, and threatened to divorce her if she continued to read

the Bible. Not long after, she and her mother were kicked out of their family

home.



Eventually, the entire village turned against them, sending them away from the

only place they had ever known. Years of rejection followed, and they were

afraid for their lives. But God always protected and provided.



Ibu Asih's husband eventually repented and returned to the Lord. Now, Ibu Asih

continues to carry the love of God with her saying, "Every day I feel like I'm

led by Jesus, by the hand." In just the last few months, she has seen dozens

come to Christ and her husband has a compassionate heart and a desire to see

young men follow Jesus.

Day 5 - A powerful fasting metaphor: untouched soil can’t produce fruit.



Scripture:



Hosea 10:12



12 Sow to yourselves righteousness, reap mercy,

break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord,

until He comes and rains righteousness upon you.



12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy;

break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD,

till he come and rain righteousness upon you.



---



Hosea 10:12 calls us to "Sow to yourselves righteousness, reap mercy,

break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord,

until He comes and rains righteousness upon you." In the context of ancient

Israel, Hosea urged a wayward people to turn from idolatry and plant seeds of

justice and faithfulness, promising a harvest of God's steadfast love and

blessing.



This verse speaks profoundly to money and finance. Just as farmers sow seeds

expecting a return, our financial decisions are acts of sowing. Sowing

righteousness means aligning our finances with God's principles: tithing

generously (Malachi 3:10), avoiding debt bondage (Proverbs 22:7), and using

wealth to serve others rather than hoarding it selfishly (1 Timothy 6:17-19).

Too often, we chase quick riches through unethical means or consumerism,

leading to spiritual barrenness. But, breaking up "unplowed ground" invites us

to cultivate new habits - budgeting prayerfully, investing in kingdom work,

and trusting God as our Provider (Matthew 6:33).



Imagine a farmer ignoring fertile soil; similarly, neglecting financial

stewardship wastes God's potential blessings. Reaping unfailing love isn't

about prosperity gospel guarantees, but experiencing God's faithfulness amid

obedience. When we seek the Lord first, He "showers righteousness,"

multiplying our efforts for eternal impact.



Brothers and sisters, examine your financial soil today. Are you sowing seeds

of greed or generosity? Commit to breaking fallow ground through disciplined

giving and wise management. As Galatians 6:7 reminds, we reap what we sow. Let

your finances reflect a heart pursuing Christ, and watch God bring a bountiful

harvest.

Prayer:

Lord, help me sow righteousness in my finances. Break up any hard ground in

my heart, and teach me to seek You first. Amen.

Numbers 10





[11] And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the

second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the

testimony.

[12] And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of

Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

[13] And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the

LORD by the hand of Moses.

[14] In the first place went the standard of the camp of the children of

Judah according to their armies: and over his host was Nahshon the son of

Amminadab.

[15] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar was

Nethaneel the son of Zuar.

[16] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the

son of Helon.

[17] And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons

of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.

[18] And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their

armies: and over his host was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

[19] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel

the son of Zurishaddai.

[20] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad was Eliasaph the

son of Deuel.

[21] And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and the other

did set up the tabernacle against they came.

[22] And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward

according to their armies: and over his host was Elishama the son of

Ammihud.

[23] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh was Gamaliel

the son of Pedahzur.

[24] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin was Abidan

the son of Gideoni.

[25] And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, which

was the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host

was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

[26] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the

son of Ocran.

[27] And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira

the son of Enan.

[28] Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their

armies, when they set forward.

[29] And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses'

father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I

will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD

hath spoken good concerning Israel.

[30] And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own

land, and to my kindred.

[31] And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how

we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of

eyes.

[32] And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what

goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

[33] And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and

the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days'

journey, to search out a resting place for them.

[34] And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of

the camp.

[35] And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise

up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee

flee before thee.

[36] And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of

Israel.

Prayer Walk



2 Kings 4:31-35



31 (Jn 11:11) Gehazi passed through ahead of them and laid the staff

on the face of the boy, but there was no sound or response.

So he returned to meet him and told him, "The boy is not awake."

32 When Elisha came into the house, he saw that the boy was dead,

lying on his bed.

33 (Mt 6:6; 2Ki 4:4) So he went in, and shut the door on the two of them,

and prayed to the Lord.

34 (1Ki 17:21; Ac 20:10) He went up and lay on the child, put his face

on his face, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands.

Then he bent over the child, and the child's flesh warmed.

35 (2Ki 8:5) Then he got down, walked once back and forth in the house,

and went up, and bent over him; the boy sneezed seven times,

and the boy opened his eyes.



[31] And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of

the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went

again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

[32] And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead,

and laid upon his bed.

[33] He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed

unto the LORD.

[34] And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his

mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he

stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

[35] Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and

stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the

child opened his eyes.



I was stuck. I'd written half of a devotional article when my thoughts dried

up. "God, what should I do?" I prayed. Remembering research that found that

our creative output is boosted by an average of 60 percent when we walk, I

headed out to the trail behind my house and continued my conversation with

God. Thirty minutes later I was refreshed. I returned to my keyboard and

finished the entry.



In 2 Kings 4:18-35, we read that Elisha and his servant, Gehazi, responded to

a Shunammite woman's plea to help her dead son. At Elisha's instruction

(v. 29), Gehazi laid his staff on the child (v. 31). Elisha prayed. Then

he laid on top of the boy. At last, "Elisha . . . walked back and forth in the

room and then got on the bed and stretched out on him once more. The

boy . . . opened his eyes" (v. 35).



Scripture doesn’t tell us why Elisha "walked back and forth," nor does it say

what he was thinking. What we do know is that when Elisha's prayers weren't

answered, he didn't give up. It's not difficult to picture him talking to God

in this urgent situation.



What do you do when you're stuck at a dead end and don't know what to do?

Perhaps a "prayer walk" is in order. Whether we head out to a trail for a walk

or pace back and forth in our home, connecting to God when we're in need

brings answers that address our circumstances.



Reflect & Pray



Where are you stuck? How might you communicate with God in this situation so

that He can direct you?



Dear God, when I find myself in stuck

spots, please help me to walk with You.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 6 - Through The Fire



Is 43:2



2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters,

I will be with you. And through the rivers,they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

nor shall the flame kindle on you.



2 When thou passest through the waters,

I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.



In the Book of Daniel, 3 young men provide one of the world's best-known

Bible stories. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three of the finest young

men of Israel, were taken into capitivity to Babylon. There King

Nebuchadnezzar, filled with his own importance, commanded that

everyone bow down and worship his image.

When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship anyone

except the One True god, they were cast into Nebuchadnezzar's

furnace of fire.

Is 43:2 brings their experience into focus for us. There the Lord says,

"When you pass through the fire ... when you walk through the water ..."

Not if, but when. If we are committed to serving and honouring the Lord,

at some point we will be faced with "passing through the fire" for hm.

We may not face a physical furnace, but we may face the fires of

persecution, anger, hostility or suffering. And God says:

"I will be with you."

When the three young Israelites stepped into the king's furnace, all

the people looked and saw, not three, but four men in the fire, their

bonds burned away, walking freely among the flames. They did not

escape the fate decreed for them. But the Lord was with them in

the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the flood

and the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the

flood and fire tht life brings to us. The promise of god remains:

"I will be with you; the waters will not overflow, nor will the

flames burn you."



Application



a) What kinds of "fires" and "Floods" have I experienced?



b) How was I aware of the Lord's presence with me?

1) Numbers 8, Numbers 9, Numbers 10



NUMBERS 8



The Seven Lamps



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 25:37) Speak to Aaron and say to him: When you set up the lamps,

the seven lamps will give light before the lampstand.

3 Aaron did so. He lit the lamps before the lampstand,

as the Lord commanded Moses.

4 (Ex 25:9; 25:18) And this was the work of the lampstand:

hammered gold, to its shaft, to its flowers was beaten work.

According to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses,

so he made the lampstand.



Numbers 8

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

[2] Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the

seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

[3] And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the

candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

[4] And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft

thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the

pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.



Consecrating the Levites



5 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them.

7 (Lev 8:6; Nu 19:13) Thus you will do to them to cleanse them: Splash

purifying water on them, and let them shave their whole body, and let

them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

8 (Lev 2:1) Then let them take a young bull with its grain offering,

also fine flour mixed with oil, and you will take another young bull

as a sin offering.

9 (Ex 40:12; Lev 8:3) You will bring the Levites

before the tent of meeting. And you will gather the whole assembly

of the children of Israel together.

10 (Lev 1:4; Ac 6:6) And you will bring the Levites before the Lord.

And the children of Israel will put their hands on the Levites.

11 (Lev 7:30) And Aaron will offer the Levites before the Lord as a

wave offering of the children of Israel, that they may do the service

of the Lord.

12 (Ex 29:10; Lev 1:4) The Levites will lay their hands on the heads

of the bulls, and you will offer one as a sin offering and the other

as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.

13 (Nu 8:11; 8:21) You will set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons,

and offer them as a wave offering to the Lord.

14 (Nu 3:45) Thus will you separate the Levites

from among the children of Israel, and the Levites will be Mine.

15 (Nu 8:11; 8:13) And afterwards the Levites will go in to do

the service of the tent of meeting, and you will cleanse them

and offer them as a wave offering.

16 (Nu 3:12; 3:45) For they are completely set aside for Me

by the children of Israel. Instead of all who open the womb,

instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel,

I have taken them for Myself.

17 (Ex 13:2; Lk 2:23) For all the firstborn of the children of Israel

are Mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck every firstborn

in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself.

18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn

of the children of Israel.

19 (Nu 1:53; 16:46) I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron

and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to serve

the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting

and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, so there

will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children

of Israel approach the sanctuary.

20 Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of

Israel did to the Levites; according to all that the Lord commanded

Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.

21 (Nu 8:7; 8:11-13) The Levites cleansed themselves from sin,

and they washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a wave

offering before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement

for them to cleanse them.

22 And after that the Levites went in to do their service

in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before his sons.

As the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

23 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24 (Nu 4:3; 1Ch 23:3) This is what belongs to the Levites:

From twenty-five years old and older they will go in to do their

duty concerning the service of the tent of meeting.

25 And from the age of fifty years they will cease doing their duty

concerning its service and will serve no more.

26 (Nu 1:53) But they will minister with their brothers

in the tent of meeting, to attend to their needs, but will not do the work.

Thus you will do to the Levites concerning their duties.



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

[6] Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

[7] And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of

purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash

their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

[8] Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine

flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin

offering.

[9] And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the

congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of

Israel together:

[10] And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of

Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

[11] And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of

the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.

[12] And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks:

and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt

offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

[13] And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and

offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

[14] Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel:

and the Levites shall be mine.

[15] And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the

tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them

for an offering.

[16] For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel;

instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the

children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

[17] For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and

beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I

sanctified them for myself.

[18] And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of

Israel.

[19] And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from

among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in

the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the

children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel,

when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.

[20] And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of

Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses

concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

[21] And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron

offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for

them to cleanse them.

[22] And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the

tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the

LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

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

[24] This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years

old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle

of the congregation:

[25] And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the

service thereof, and shall serve no more:

[26] But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the

congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou

do unto the Levites touching their charge.

The Passover at Sinai



1 (Nu 1:1; Ex 40:2) And the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai,

in the first month of the second year after they came out

of the land of Egypt, saying:

2 (Lev 23:5; Dt 16:1-2) Let the children of Israel also keep the Passover

at its appointed time.

3 (Ex 12:6-11) On the fourteenth day of this month, at

you will keep it at its appointed time. According to all

its rites and according to all its ceremonies, you will keep it.

4 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.

5 (Jos 5:10) They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month

at evening in the Wilderness of Sinai. According to all that

the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

6 (Ex 18:15; Nu 27:2) There were men who were unclean by

the dead body of a man, so they could not keep the Passover on that day,

and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

7 And those men said to him, "We are defiled by the dead body of a man.

Why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the Lord

at its appointed time among the children of Israel?"

8 (Nu 27:5; Ps 85:8) And Moses said to them, "Stand still, and I will hear

what the Lord will command concerning you."

9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: If any man of you or

of your posterity is unclean because of a dead body, or is far off

on a journey, he will still keep the Passover to the Lord.

11 (2Ch 30:2-15) The fourteenth day of the second month at evening

they will keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

12 (Ex 12:10; 12:46; 12:43) They will leave none of it until the morning,

nor break any of its bones. According to all the ordinances of the Passover

they will keep it.

13 (Ge 17:14; Ex 12:15) But the man who is ceremonially clean,

and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover,

even the same person will be cut off from his people.

Because he did not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time,

that man will bear his sin.

14 (Ex 12:48-49; Lev 24:22) If a stranger will sojourn among you

and will keep the Passover to the Lord, according to the ordinance

of the Passover, and according to the manner of it, so he will do.

You will have one ordinance both for the resident alien

and for the natural born citizen of the land.

Numbers 9





[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first

month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt,

saying,

[2] Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed

season.

[3] In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his

appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the

ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.

[4] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the

passover.

[5] And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at

even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded

Moses, so did the children of Israel.

[6] And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man,

that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before

Moses and before Aaron on that day:

[7] And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man:

wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in

his appointed season among the children of Israel?

[8] And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD

will command concerning you.

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

[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your

posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar

off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.

[11] The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and

eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

[12] They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it:

according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.

[13] But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to

keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his

people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed

season, that man shall bear his sin.

[14] And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover

unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to

the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for

the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.



The Cloud and the Fire



15 (Ex 13:21; 40:34) And on the day that the tabernacle was erected,

the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony,

and at evening there was over the tabernacle the appearance of fire

until the morning.

16 (Ne 9:12) So it was always. The cloud covered it by day,

and the appearance of fire by night.

17 (Ex 40:36–38; Jn 10:9) When the cloud was lifted up from

over the tabernacle, then after it the children of Israel journeyed,

and in the place where the cloud settled,

there the children of Israel camped.

18 (1Co 10:1) At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel

journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they camped. As long as

the cloud dwelt over the tabernacle they camped.

19 When the cloud remained many days over the tabernacle,

then the children of Israel kept the charge of the Lord and did not journey.

20 When the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle,

according to the commandment of the Lord they dwelt in their tents,

and according to the commandment of the Lord they journeyed.

21 When the cloud dwelt from evening until morning

and the cloud was lifted up in the morning,

then they journeyed. Whether it was by day or by night

that the cloud was lifted up, they journeyed.

22 (Ex 40:36-37) Whether it was two days, or a month,

or a long time that the cloud dwelt over the tabernacle,

the children of Israel dwelt in their tents and did not journey.

But when it was lifted up they journeyed.

23 (Nu 9:19) At the command of the Lord they camped,

and at the command of the Lord they journeyed.

They kept the charge of the Lord at the command

of the Lord by the hand of Moses.



[15] And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the

tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon

the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.

[16] So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of

fire by night.

[17] And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that

the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode,

there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

[18] At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at

the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon

the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

[19] And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the

children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

[20] And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle;

according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and

according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

[21] And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and

that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it

was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

[22] Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud

tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode

in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

[23] At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the

commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at

the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.



NUMBERS 10



The Silver Trumpets



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Isa 1:13; Ps 81:3) Make for yourself two silver trumpets.

Of a hammered work you will make them, and you will use them

for summoning of the assembly and directing the breaking up of the camps.

3 (Jer 4:5) When they blow both of them, all the assembly will assemble

themselves to you at the door of the tent of meeting.

4 (Ex 18:21; Nu 7:2) If they blow only one, then the leaders,

who are heads of the thousands of Israel, will gather themselves to you.

5 (Nu 2:3-9; 10:14) When you blow an alarm, then the camps that lie

on the east will set out.

6 (Nu 2:10-16; 10:18) When you blow an alarm the second time,

then the camps that lie on the south will set out.

They will blow an alarm for their setting out.

7 (Joel 2:1) But when the assembly is to be gathered together,

you will blow, but you will not sound an alarm.

8 (Nu 31:6; 1Ch 15:24) The sons of Aaron, the priests,

will blow the trumpets, and they will be to you as an ordinance

forever throughout your generations.

9 (Ge 8:1; Jdg 2:18) And if you go to war in your land against

the enemy that oppresses you, then you will blow an alarm with

the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the Lord your God,

and you will be saved from your enemies.

10 (Ps 81:3; Lev 23:24) Also in the day of your gladness,

and at your appointed days, and in the beginnings of your months,

you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over

the sacrifices of your peace offerings that they may be a memorial

for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.



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

[2] Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them:

that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the

journeying of the camps.

[3] And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble

themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[4] And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads

of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

[5] When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall

go forward.

[6] When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the

south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their

journeys.

[7] But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but

ye shall not sound an alarm.

[8] And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and

they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.

[9] And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you,

then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered

before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

[10] Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the

beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt

offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be

to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.



The Departure From Sinai

in the second year, that the cloud was lifted up from

over the tabernacle of the testimony.

12 (Ge 21:21; Nu 12:16) The children of Israel set out

from the Wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud dwelt

in the Wilderness of Paran.

13 And they set out for the first time at the command of the

Lord by the hand of Moses.

14 (Nu 2:3-9; 1:7) And the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah

set out first by their armies, and over his armies was Nahshon the

son of Amminadab.

15 Over the armies of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel

the son of Zuar.

16 Over the armies of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab

and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.

was Pagiel the son of Okran.

27 (Nu 1:15) Over the armies of the tribe of the children of Naphtali

was Ahira the son of Enan.

28 (Nu 2:34) This was the order of march

of the children of Israel, company by company, when they set out.

29 (Ge 12:7; Ex 2:18; 3:1) Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite,

Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to the place of which the Lord said,

'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will do good to you

because the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel."

30 Hobab said to him, "I will not go. But I will depart to my own land,

and to my kindred."

31 (Job 29:15) So Moses said, "Please do not leave us, because you know

where to camp in the wilderness, and you may be our eyes.

32 (Jdg 1:16; 4:11) Moreover, if you go with us, then it will be that

whatever good the Lord will do for us, we will likewise do for you."

33 (Dt 1:33; Ex 3:1) They set out three days from the mountain of the Lord,

and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them

the three days' journey, to find a resting place for them.

34And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day

when they set out from of the camp.

35 (Ps 68:1-2) And it was, when the ark set out, that Moses said,

"Rise up, O Lord,

and let Your enemies be scattered,

and let them that hate You flee before You."

36 (Dt 1:10) And when it rested, he said,

"Return, O Lord,

to the multitude of thousands of Israel."

The Seven Lamps



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 25:37) Speak to Aaron and say to him: When you set up the lamps,

the seven lamps will give light before the lampstand.

3 Aaron did so. He lit the lamps before the lampstand,

as the Lord commanded Moses.

4 (Ex 25:9; 25:18) And this was the work of the lampstand:

hammered gold, to its shaft, to its flowers was beaten work.

According to the pattern which the Lord had shown Moses,

so he made the lampstand.



Numbers 8

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

[2] Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the

seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.

[3] And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the

candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.

[4] And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft

thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the

pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.



Consecrating the Levites



5 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

6 Take the Levites from among the children of Israel and cleanse them.

7 (Lev 8:6; Nu 19:13) Thus you will do to them to cleanse them: Splash

purifying water on them, and let them shave their whole body, and let

them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

8 (Lev 2:1) Then let them take a young bull with its grain offering,

also fine flour mixed with oil, and you will take another young bull

as a sin offering.

9 (Ex 40:12; Lev 8:3) You will bring the Levites

before the tent of meeting. And you will gather the whole assembly

of the children of Israel together.

10 (Lev 1:4; Ac 6:6) And you will bring the Levites before the Lord.

And the children of Israel will put their hands on the Levites.

11 (Lev 7:30) And Aaron will offer the Levites before the Lord as a

wave offering of the children of Israel, that they may do the service

of the Lord.

12 (Ex 29:10; Lev 1:4) The Levites will lay their hands on the heads

of the bulls, and you will offer one as a sin offering and the other

as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make an atonement for the Levites.

13 (Nu 8:11; 8:21) You will set the Levites before Aaron and before his sons,

and offer them as a wave offering to the Lord.

14 (Nu 3:45) Thus will you separate the Levites

from among the children of Israel, and the Levites will be Mine.

15 (Nu 8:11; 8:13) And afterwards the Levites will go in to do

the service of the tent of meeting, and you will cleanse them

and offer them as a wave offering.

16 (Nu 3:12; 3:45) For they are completely set aside for Me

by the children of Israel. Instead of all who open the womb,

instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel,

I have taken them for Myself.

17 (Ex 13:2; Lk 2:23) For all the firstborn of the children of Israel

are Mine, both man and animal. On the day that I struck every firstborn

in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself.

18 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn

of the children of Israel.

19 (Nu 1:53; 16:46) I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron

and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to serve

the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting

and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, so there

will be no plague among the children of Israel when the children

of Israel approach the sanctuary.

20 Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of

Israel did to the Levites; according to all that the Lord commanded

Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.

21 (Nu 8:7; 8:11-13) The Levites cleansed themselves from sin,

and they washed their clothes, and Aaron offered them as a wave

offering before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement

for them to cleanse them.

22 And after that the Levites went in to do their service

in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before his sons.

As the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

23 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24 (Nu 4:3; 1Ch 23:3) This is what belongs to the Levites:

From twenty-five years old and older they will go in to do their

duty concerning the service of the tent of meeting.

25 And from the age of fifty years they will cease doing their duty

concerning its service and will serve no more.

26 (Nu 1:53) But they will minister with their brothers

in the tent of meeting, to attend to their needs, but will not do the work.

Thus you will do to the Levites concerning their duties.



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

[6] Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

[7] And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of

purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash

their clothes, and so make themselves clean.

[8] Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine

flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin

offering.

[9] And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the

congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of

Israel together:

[10] And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of

Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

[11] And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of

the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.

[12] And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks:

and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt

offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

[13] And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and

offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

[14] Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel:

and the Levites shall be mine.

[15] And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the

tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them

for an offering.

[16] For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel;

instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the

children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

[17] For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and

beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I

sanctified them for myself.

[18] And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of

Israel.

[19] And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from

among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in

the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the

children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel,

when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.

[20] And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of

Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses

concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

[21] And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron

offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for

them to cleanse them.

[22] And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the

tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the

LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

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

[24] This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years

old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle

of the congregation:

[25] And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the

service thereof, and shall serve no more:

[26] But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the

congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou

do unto the Levites touching their charge.

The Passover at Sinai



1 (Nu 1:1; Ex 40:2) And the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai,

in the first month of the second year after they came out

of the land of Egypt, saying:

2 (Lev 23:5; Dt 16:1-2) Let the children of Israel also keep the Passover

at its appointed time.

3 (Ex 12:6-11) On the fourteenth day of this month, at

you will keep it at its appointed time. According to all

its rites and according to all its ceremonies, you will keep it.

4 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.

5 (Jos 5:10) They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month

at evening in the Wilderness of Sinai. According to all that

the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.

6 (Ex 18:15; Nu 27:2) There were men who were unclean by

the dead body of a man, so they could not keep the Passover on that day,

and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.

7 And those men said to him, "We are defiled by the dead body of a man.

Why are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the Lord

at its appointed time among the children of Israel?"

8 (Nu 27:5; Ps 85:8) And Moses said to them, "Stand still, and I will hear

what the Lord will command concerning you."

9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: If any man of you or

of your posterity is unclean because of a dead body, or is far off

on a journey, he will still keep the Passover to the Lord.

11 (2Ch 30:2-15) The fourteenth day of the second month at evening

they will keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.

12 (Ex 12:10; 12:46; 12:43) They will leave none of it until the morning,

nor break any of its bones. According to all the ordinances of the Passover

they will keep it.

13 (Ge 17:14; Ex 12:15) But the man who is ceremonially clean,

and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover,

even the same person will be cut off from his people.

Because he did not bring the offering of the Lord at its appointed time,

that man will bear his sin.

14 (Ex 12:48-49; Lev 24:22) If a stranger will sojourn among you

and will keep the Passover to the Lord, according to the ordinance

of the Passover, and according to the manner of it, so he will do.

You will have one ordinance both for the resident alien

and for the natural born citizen of the land.

CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.

Pray for Uttar Pradesh



The majority of India's population is Hindu. That makes it easy to forget that

if India's Muslims were counted as a single country, it would - after

Indonesia - be the second largest Muslim country in the world.



200 million Muslims reside in India, spread over every Indian state, just like

their delicious cuisine has spread to most of the world. Uttar Pradesh is

the Indian state with the highest population of Muslims. Though only 19% of

the population, they number over 38 million people.



The increase in Hindu nationalism in recent decades has sometimes made life

difficult for both Muslims and Christians.



Rahim was a young Muslim man who moved from his village in Uttar Pradesh to

one of its cities. There, he rented a room in a building before he learned

that an infidel also lived there – another Muslim who had become a Christian.

Rahim hated him for his defection, but was also intrigued. Curious to know

how Christians prayed, he put his ear to the wall and strained to hear what

they were doing. He was shocked to hear that, despite his hostility,

they were praying for God to bless him.



Rahim decided to open the door to friendship with his neighbours. They, in

turn, opened the door of eternal life to him. Rahim grew to love Jesus and

gave his life to him. He eventually became a pastor and his own testimony

has borne fruit in the lives of countless Muslims.

If you have been in Christian circles for any length of time, you have likely

heard of Dave Ramsey. When asked how he is doing, his typical response is

"better than I deserve." This simple saying speaks directly to most of the

questions he receives. It confronts the two extremes which we typically

vacillate between—pride/entitlement or victimization/shame—and encourages us

to think of ourselves humbly and rightly.



If you are fasting, you are acknowledging that something is not right; so,

when we come to verses like this, we cling to its promise of restoration

and healing, but have we acknowledged the prerequisite of humility?

If we also consider the context, we are encouraged to be humble when life

throws us a curveball, but that seems easier said than done. For myself I

often err towards pride, and think things like "no big deal I can do this"

or "how foolish of them, they should do this." Deut. 8:18, 1 Cor. 3:18

and Gal. 6:3 don't seem to enter my mind in these moments.



Maybe you are on the other spectrum, and you feel worthless or powerless.

Again, humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking about

yourself less. We can rest knowing that God thinks highly of us

and fights for us (Ps 8:4; Rom. 8:31) so we do not have to. With that,

let us humbly trust God for who he is and what he is doing; knowing that

our circumstances are always better than we deserve.



---



Personal Reflection Questions:



- Where on the "humility spectrum" do I tend to gravitate and how do I

invite God into that?



- Gratitude can re-orientate our humility. What is something that I

can be grateful about, even amidst the adversity I am fasting about?



Prayer Points:



- Pray for the members of the Mission Servant Council as several of them

are experiencing health issues, or are needing to step away for a period.



- Please intercede for the Islamic community as they are currently practicing

Ramadan. Pray that many will encounter the hope of Jesus as they fast.

2) Our Daily Bread for 26 February 2026 titled

God's Rainbow Answer

by Leslie Koh



Genesis 9:12-16



12 Then God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which

I am making between Me

and you and every living creature that is with you,

for all future generations.

13 I have set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of a covenant

between Me and the earth.

14 When I bring a cloud over the earth, the rainbow will be seen in the cloud;

15 then I will remember My covenant,

which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh,

and the waters will never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 The rainbow will appear in the cloud, and I will see it

and remember the everlasting covenant between God

and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."



[12] And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me

and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual

generations:

[13] I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant

between me and the earth.

[14] And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that

the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

[15] And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every

living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to

destroy all flesh.

[16] And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may

remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of

all flesh that is upon the earth.



Owen was on holiday abroad when he received a disturbing message from a

colleague: "The boss is looking to replace you." Deeply upset, he prayed one

morning at dawn and asked God, "Where are You?" Then he went to the window to

open the curtains - and spotted a huge, beautiful rainbow suspended above

the lake outside. Immediately a comforting warmth gushed over him. "It was as

if God was simply telling me, 'It's okay; I'm here,' " he recounted later.



In Genesis 9, God promised not to destroy the earth through a flood again.

He promised, "Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it

and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures

of every kind on the earth" (v. 16). This covenant was everlasting

and unconditional. It depended totally on God’s protection and provision,

not on humanity's performance. And it was just the first of many promises

God would make to His people. Jesus, too, said, "Surely I am with you

always" (Matthew 28:20).



God doesn't promise that we won't suffer. But He does promise His ever-present

comfort and personal presence. We may not get "rainbow answers," but we have

His assurance that no matter what happens to us in life, He's always there for

us, and we can draw on His strength, comfort, and presence.



Reflect & Pray



In times of trouble and worry, what can you do to remind yourself

of God's presence? Which promises of His give you comfort?



Loving Father, thank You for Your presence,

and please help me to remember Your promise to be with me always.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 5 - Waiting for the Wind



Is 40:31



31 (2Co 4:16; Ps 103:5; Ex 19:4)

but those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary,

and they shall walk and not faint.



31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.



High above civilisation, alone on his craggy peak, the eagle waits.

He watches, senses, and then, with effortless grace, he spreads

his wings and soars. He does not flap frantically to gain altitude,

he merely turns his wings into the wind and rises.

Is 40:31 promises that we, too, can be like the eagle,

mounting up on wings, soaring effortlessly,

without weariness. But this is not often our experience.

We usually flap around like invalid pigeons, scratching

for mere existence, flying only when our place in the park is disturbed.

We need to learn to wait on the Lord. Like the wind that raises the eagle

to the heights, the wind of the Spirit will lift us up as well - beyond

the weariness of daily life, beyond the struggle for existence, beyond

the plodding pace of normal interaction.

But the eagle does not rise without plunging for the cliff into the wind.

His ability to stay aloft is based on his understand of wind currents;

when the wind is against him, he rises. He waits on the cliff

until the right moment, then allows the contrary breezes to lift him up.

Most of us are grounded by the winds that are against us. We give up

and never take the first flight. We fear the plunge from the cliff into the

buoyant breath of God, and so we stand fixed, afraid to launch out.

But when we do take the risk, when we wait upon the Lord, and then

give ourselves in obedience to a free-fall from the cliffs of his will,

we discover that there is rest in soaring with him. We do not have to

struggle; we have only to fly, and in flying, to find new strength.



Application



a) Why is "waiting upon the Lord" essential

to "Mounting up with wings as the eagle"?



b) How can this verse help me be more willing to take risks in God's will?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 8:18



18 But you must remember the Lord your God,

for it is He who gives you the ability to get wealth,

so that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers,

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

thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant

which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

and sanctified them;

1) Numbers 7



NUMBERS 7



Offerings at the Tabernacle's Dedication



1 (Lev 8:10-11) And it was on the day that Moses had fully set up

the tabernacle and anointed it and sanctified it and all its instruments,

both the altar and all its vessels, and anointed them, and sanctified them,

2 (Nu 1:4-16; 2Ch 35:8) that the leaders of Israel, heads of their

fathers' houses, who were the leaders of the tribes, and were over

them who were counted, made an offering.

3 And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons,

and twelve oxen, a wagon for two of the leaders, and for each one an ox.

And they brought them before the tabernacle.

4 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

5 Accept these things from them, that they may be used in the service

of the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites, to each man according

to his service.

6 Moses took the wagons and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon,

Abusing God's Name by Mike Wittmer



Exodus 20:1-4,7-8,12-17



1 (Dt 5:22) Now God spoke all these words, saying:

2 (Ex 13:3; Lev 26:1) I am the Lord your God, who brought you

out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 (Jer 35:15; Dt 6:14) You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 (Lev 26:1; Dt 27:15; Lev 19:4) You shall not make for yourself

any graven idol, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven

above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water

below the earth.



[1] And God spake all these words, saying,

[2] I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,

out of the house of bondage.

[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any

thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is

in the water under the earth:



( No idols, Love the Lord Your God as yourself,

what idols are there in your life?)



7 (Lev 19:12; Jas 5:12) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God

in vain, for the Lord will not hold guiltless anyone

who takes His name in vain.

[7] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD

will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.



( NO swearing. Remember all good things come from above.

Swear at Satan, the enemy of your soul)



8 (Lev 19:3; Ge 2:3) Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.



[8] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.





12 (Lev 19:3; Lk 18:20) Honor your father and your mother,

that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.



[12] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the

land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.



(THe Egyptians forced the Hebrews to work without rest.

A Day of rest is good for the soul)



13 (Ro 13:9; Ge 9:5-6; Ex 21:20) You shall not murder.



[13] Thou shalt not kill.



(No killing , and do not call your brother Raca)



14 (Lev 18:20; 20:10)You shall not commit adultery.



[14] Thou shalt not commit adultery.



( A big one. Adultery - Pornography is and adultery industry,

same with Prostitution - Recall Judah. Cheating on spouse is not allowed.

17 (Ro 7:7; Mt 5:28) You shall not covet your neighbor's house;

you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant,

or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey,

or anything that is your neighbor's.



[17] Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy

neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor

his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.



(Never envy - pride in involved . Be humble)



The vintage photograph from World War II, taken outside a town's Nazi

headquarters, carries a warning for all of us. In the photo, a comfortably

dressed woman is crossing the street. A man in a suit walks down the sidewalk,

while another has stopped to read a bulletin board on the corner of the

building. All seem oblivious to the large banner hanging above

the headquarters' front door, half as long as the building.

It reads, "By resisting the Jew, I fight for the work of the Lord."



This kind of treachery is what God had in mind when He commanded,

"You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not

hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name" (Exodus 20:7). This command covers

misusing His name when we curse or when we carelessly shout God's name when we

stub a toe or smash a finger. It also includes perversion - using God's name

as cover for evil.



We shouldn't assume we're doing God's work simply because others say we are.

We must prayerfully check our work with what God reveals in the Bible. How can

we know we're serving Him? Psalm 119:9 says, "By living according to your

word." The God who commands us to "always give [ourselves] fully to the work

of the Lord" has told us what that work is in His holy

book (1 Corinthians 15:58). Let's listen to Him.



Reflect & Pray



What work have you done in the name of God?

How do you know it was what He wanted?



Dear Father, please help me be wise, loving, and careful

with what I do in Your name and help me guard Your name at all times.



God reveals His plans in unpredictable ways.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 4 - Send for Help !



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.



A new employee in an electronics plant had the responsibility

for overseeing one machine. The machine worked fine when the young man

came on duty, but soon it began to run a bit rough. The employee

tinkered with the machine, trying to "fix" it, until finally if stopped

working altogether

In fear and trembling the worker sent for the foreman, and stammered,

"I - I, well, sir, I did my best to fix it."

"Son", the foreman thundered, "you need to know only one thing. Around

here, doing you best means sending for me!"

Wisdom, James 1:5 says, has its source in God alone. And if we are

to attain wisdom, we need to learn doing our best means sending for God.

Often we spend time tinkering with our lives or the the lives of others.

We don't think to as God for his wisdom in the decisions we must take;

instead, we use our human reasoning and take our best guess.

But the path to wisdom does not lie in guesswork. The scriptures

give us clear indication of God's direction for his people, and through Bible

study, application, prayer, and meditation,

we can understand what God wants to reveal to us.

"If any of you lacks wisdom," James says, "he should ask God, who gives

generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

The first step to attaining wisdom is recognising that we are not wise.

The second step is to ask. And God, who is faithful to his Word

and His people, will respond.



Application



a) Under what circumstances have I tinkered with my life,

making it worse rather then fixing it?



b) What practical steps can I take to ask God for wisdom?

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



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

Adding further





Pray for the Peul of Guinea



Moussa is Peul and has been following Jesus for more than 25 years, making him

one of the first Fulani in Guinea to follow Jesus. There are approximately 300

Christians among the five million Fulani living in Guinea.



The Peul, also called the Fulani or the Fulbe, are a primarily Muslim people

scattered throughout many parts of West Africa, from Lake Chad in the east to

the Atlantic Ocean in the West. It is only in Guinea where they

are the majority people group.



When Moussa turned away from the religion of his ancestors,

his wife left him, but he remained firm.



Today, Moussa has a small café where he takes the opportunity to have in-depth

conversations with his customers. Offering glasses of refreshing bissap - a

drink made from hibiscus flowers - he reads the Qur'an with them to highlight

the supreme position of Jesus, even in their Scriptures. In this way, several

people, including an imam, have decided to accept the eternal life offered

by Jesus.



Twice a week, Moussa leads Bible studies for these Christians from a Muslim

background. Following the example of Jesus on the road to Emmaus with the two

disciples, he explains everything that Islam and its prophets have said about

Jesus. Some of these new believers then come to the Fulani church, while

others prefer to keep their faith secret for a while.



See also Pray for the Hazara



How to Pray



Pray for Moussa and other Fulani believers who openly share their faith.

Ask that God will provide for and protect them.





Remember Fulani believers in Guinea who are persecuted and discriminated

against because of their faith in Jesus.



Pray that more Fulani people may come to know eternal life in Jesus.



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

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

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

Eight) Day 3 - Renewal begins internally, not circumstantially.



Scripture: Psalm 51:10–12 ESV



10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Create in me a clean heart, O God,

and renew a right spirit within me.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Do not cast me away from Your presence,

and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,

and uphold me with Your willing spirit.



10 Create in me a clean heart, O God;

And renew a right spirit within me.

11 Cast me not away from thy presence;

And take not thy holy spirit from me.

12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation;

And uphold me with thy free spirit.



---



Waiting. Waiting for circumstances to align perfectly. For a long time, I felt

like things had to be just right before coming clean before God. It had to be

a planned moment. It had to be emotionally driven. I had to pray the prayers

I'd used over and over again.



But the only one who needed everything to be perfect was me.



God waited. He probably waited smiling, like we do when

we watch our kids trying so hard to do things "the right way."



David is clear in this Psalm: "Create in me a clean heart, O God." God is the

one who creates. God is the one who sets things right. All we have to do is

show up, whether i'’s in our car on the drive home, in the shower,

or at the grocery store…and be honest.



Fasting doesn't earn God's attention; it simply removes the noise so we can

show up more honestly before Him.



The other thing I got wrong was thinking this was a one-and-done deal.

Salvation is a decisive moment, but it's also something we grow

into (1 Peter 2:2). In the same way, repentance is a lifelong journey.



You see, it's not just, "I messed up, and I'm sorry." It's,

"I messed up…make me stronger."



We don't want to repent and remain distant from God. We want to be in His

presence. We want to continually experience the joy of His forgiveness,

and we want Him to be the one who holds us up.

Personal Reflection Questions:



- Where today, have you felt the nudge of the Holy Spirit to repent?



- When was the last time you asked God to restore the joy of your salvation?



Prayer Points:



- Pray that our small groups and microchurches would experience the deep

community that comes from clean and repentant hearts.



- Pray that as we gather in one another's homes and places of meeting, we

would experience the joy of salvation together, and share testimony

of how God is holding us up.

The Nazirite Vow



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Jdg 13:5; Am 2:11-12) Speak to the children of Israel and say to them:

When either a man or woman will make a hard vow, the vow of a Nazirite,

to separate themselves to the Lord,

3 (Lk 1:15; Lev 10:9; Jdg 13:14) he will separate himself from wine

and strong drink and will drink no vinegar of wine,

or vinegar of strong drink. Neither shall he drink any juice of grapes,

nor eat fresh or dry grapes.

4 (Nu 6:5) All the days of his separation he will eat nothing

that is made of the grapevine, from the seed to the skin.

5 (1Sa 1:11; Jdg 13:5) All the days of the vow of his separation no razor

will come on his head until the days are fulfilled in which he separates

himself to the Lord. He will be holy and will let the locks

of the hair of his head grow.

6 (Lev 19:28) All the days that he separates himself to the Lord he will

not approach a dead body.

7 (Nu 9:6; Lev 21:1-2) He will not defile himself for his father

or for his mother, for his brother or for his sister if they die

because the separation of his God is on his head.

8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the Lord.

9 (Nu 6:18; Lev 14:9) If any man dies very suddenly beside him,

and he has defiled his consecrated head, then he will shave his

head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day will he shave it.

10 (Lev 15:14; 15:29) On the eighth day he will bring two turtledoves

or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.

11 And the priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other

as a burnt offering and make an atonement for him,

since he sinned because of the dead,

and will sanctify his head that same day.

12 (Lev 5:6) He will consecrate to the Lord the days of his separation

and bring a male lamb in its first year as a guilt offering.

But the previous days will be lost because his separation was defiled.

13 (Ac 21:26) This is the law of the Nazirite.

When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he will be brought

to the door of the tent of meeting.

14 (Lev 3:6; 4:32) And he will offer his offering to the Lord,

one male lamb a year old without blemish as a burnt offering,

one ewe lamb a year old without blemish as a sin offering,

one ram without blemish as a peace offering,

15 (Ex 29:2; Lev 2:4) a basket of unleavened bread,

loaves of fine flour mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil,

and their grain offering with their drink offerings.

16 The priest will bring them before the Lord and

will offer his sin offering and his burnt offering.

17 And he will offer the ram as a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord

with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest will offer also his grain

offering and his drink offering.

18 (Ac 21:24; Nu 6:9) The Nazirite will shave his consecrated head

at the door of the tent of meeting, and will take the hair from

his consecrated head and put it in the fire which is

under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.

19 (Lev 7:30; 1Sa 2:15) The priest will take the cooked shoulder of the ram,

and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer and will

put them on the hands of the Nazirite,

after he has shaved his consecrated hair.

20 (Ecc 9:7; Ex 29:27-28) And the priest will wave them as a wave offering

before the Lord. This is holy for the priest, with the breast waved

and the shoulder offered. And after that the Nazirite may drink wine.

21 This is the law of the Nazirite who has vowed to the Lord,

his offering for his separation, besides whatever else his hand

is able to provide. According to the vow which he spoke,

so he must do, according to the law of his separation.



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

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or

woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate

themselves unto the LORD:

[3] He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no

vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any

liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

[4] All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the

vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

[5] All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no rasor come upon

his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself

unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his

head grow.

[6] All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at

no dead body.

[7] He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for

his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of

his God is upon his head.

[8] All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.

[9] And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of

his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing,

on the seventh day shall he shave it.

[10] And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons,

to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

[11] And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other

for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by

the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.

[12] And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and

shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days

that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.

[13] And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation

are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation:

[14] And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first

year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first

year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for

peace offerings,

[15] And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil,

and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering,

and their drink offerings.

[16] And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his

sin offering, and his burnt offering:

[17] And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the

LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his

meat offering, and his drink offering.

[18] And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of

the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of

his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the

peace offerings.

[19] And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one

unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put

them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is

shaven:

[20] And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:

this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and

after that the Nazarite may drink wine.

[21] This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering

unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get:

according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his

separation.



The Priestly Blessing



22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23 (1Ch 23:13; Dt 21:5) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying,

This is how you will bless the children of Israel, saying to them,

24 (Ps 121:4-7; 134:3) The Lord bless you

and keep you;

25 (Ps 31:16; 80:7) the Lord make His face to shine upon you,

and be gracious unto you;

26 (Ps 4:6; 29:11) the Lord lift His countenance upon you,

and give you peace.

27 (2Ch 7:14; Dt 28:10) They will put My name upon the children

of Israel, and I will bless them.



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

[23] Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless

the children of Israel, saying unto them,

[24] The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

[25] The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

[26] The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

[27] And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will

bless them.



(Take the Lord seriously. His Blessings are plentiful

and his punishment is merciless.)
