6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



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

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

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

Using Psalm 91 as a guide,

PSALMS 91



1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust."

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He shall cover you with His feathers,

and under His wings you shall find protection;

His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,

nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) A thousand may fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

but it shall not come near you.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Only with your eyes shall you behold

and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

even the Most High, your dwelling,

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) there shall be no evil befall you,

neither shall any plague come near your tent;

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) for He shall give His angels charge over you

to guard you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you up in their hands,

lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;

the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

and I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him

and show him My salvation.



Psalm 91



1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:

My God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,

Even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:

I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him,

pray for the protection of pastors in TÜRKIYE who have been targeted by militants.

Sons of Simeon



Jos 19:2-10



24 (Ge 46:10) The sons of Simeon were

Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul,

25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son.

26 The sons of Mishma were

Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son, and Shimei his son.

27 (Nu 2:4; 2:13) Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters,

but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family

multiply as much as the sons of Judah.

28 (Jos 19:2-3) Now they dwelt in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar Shual

29 (Jos 19:3,4) as well as in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31 (Jos 19:5-6) Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim.

These were their cities until the reign of David.

32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan,

five cities in all,

33 (Jos 19:8) and all the villages that were around these cities

as far as Baal.

Such are their inhabited cities, and those registered to them were

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah;

35 Joel, and Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel;

36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah;

37 Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah,

the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.

38 These mentioned by name were leaders in their families,

and their fathers' houses increased greatly.

39 (Jos 15:58; 1Ch 4:4) They went to the entrance of Gedor,

as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks

40 (Jdg 18:7-10) There they found rich, good pasture,

and the land was wide, quiet, and peaceful;

for former inhabitants there belonged to Ham.

41 In the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, those written by name came

and attacked their tents, along with the Meunites who were found there,

and utterly destroyed them until this day. Then they dwelt there

in their place because there was pasture for their flocks there.

42 (Ge 36:8-9) Now some of them, namely five hundred men

from the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir with Pelatiah,

Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their captains.

43 (1Sa 30:17; 15:7-8) Then they struck down the rest of the Amalekites

who had escaped. So they have dwelt there until this day.



[24] The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:

[25] Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.

[26] And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zachur his son, Shimei his son.

[27] And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not

many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children

of Judah.

[28] And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual,

[29] And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

[30] And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

[31] And at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-birei, and at

Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

[32] And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan,

five cities:

[33] And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto

Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.

[34] And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

[35] And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of

Asiel,

[36] And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and

Jesimiel, and Benaiah,

[37] And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the

son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;

[38] These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the

house of their fathers increased greatly.

[39] And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the

valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

[40] And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet,

and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.

[41] And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,

and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and

destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because

there was pasture there for their flocks.

[42] And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to

mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah,

and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

[43] And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt

there unto this day.



1 CHRONICLES 5



Sons of Reuben



1 (Ge 29:32; 35:22) Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel

(for he was the firstborn, but since he defiled his father's bed,

his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel,

so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright;

2 (Mic 5:2; Mt 2:6; Ge 49:8-10 ) though Judah prevailed

over his brothers and a ruler came from him,

yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),

3 (Ge 46:9; Ex 6:14; Nu 26:5-9) the sons of Reuben the firstborn

of Israel were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi.

4 The sons of Joel were

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Shimei his son,

5 Micah his son,

Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

6 (1Ch 5:26) and Beerah his son, whom

Tiglath--Pileser the king of Assyria led into exile.

He was a leader of the Reubenites.

7 (1Ch 5:1) 7His brothers according to their families

by the registration of their generations were

Jeiel, the first, and Zechariah;

8 (Nu 32:34; 32:38) Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,

who dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo and Baal Meon.

9 (Jos 22:8-9) And he dwelt toward the east as far as the entrance

to the wilderness from the Euphrates,

for their cattle were abundant in the land of Gilead.

10 Now in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites,

who fell by their hand, and they dwelt in their tents over

all the eastern plains of Gilead.



[1] Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the

firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was

given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to

be reckoned after the birthright.

[2] For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler;

but the birthright was Joseph's:)

[3] The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hannoch, and

Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

[4] The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

[5] Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

[6] Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away

captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

[7] And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their

generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

[8] And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt

in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:

[9] And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from

the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of

Gilead.

[10] And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by

their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of

Gilead.



Sons of Gad



11 (Jos 13:11; 13:24-28) The sons of Gad dwelt opposite

them in the land of Bashan as far as Salekah.

12 Joel was the first, Shapham the second,

with Janai and Shaphat in Bashan.

13 Their brothers of their father's house were

Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber, seven in all.

14 These are the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,

the sonof Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai,

the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni,

was the head of their father's house.

16 (1Ch 27:29; SS 2:1) They dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns,

and in all the outlands of Sharon to the edge of their borders.

17 (2Ki 14:16; 14:28) All of them were registered by genealogy in the days

of Jotham king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 (Nu 1:3) The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites,

and the half-tribe of Manasseh numbered 44760 valiant men,

men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with a bow,

and who were skillful in battle, who went to war.

19 (Ge 25:15; 1Ch 1:31) They made war with the Hagrites, namely Jetur,

Naphish, and Nodab.

20 (2Ch 18:31; Ps 20:7-8) They were helped against them,

and the Hagrites and all who were with them were delivered into their hand,

for they cried to God in the battle, and He heard their prayer

because they trusted in Him.

21 They captured their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels,

two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys,

and one hundred thousand men.

22 (2Ki 15:29; 17:6) So many fell slain, because the war was of God.

And they dwelt in their place until the exile.



[11] And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan

unto Salchah:

[12] Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in

Bashan.

[13] And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and

Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

[14] These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,

the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of

Jahdo, the son of Buz;

[15] Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their

fathers.

[16] And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the

suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

[17] All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of

Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

[18] The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of

valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and

skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore,

that went out to the war.

[19] And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and

Nodab.

[20] And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered

into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the

battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

[21] And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of

sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men

an hundred thousand.

[22] For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they

dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

The Half-Tribe of Manasseh



23 (Dt 3:8-9; SS 4:8) The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh also dwelt

in the land. They increased from Bashan as far as Baal Hermon and Senir,

even to Mount Hermon.

24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel,

Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of reputation,

and heads of their fathers' houses.

25 (Ex 34:15) They were unfaithful to the God of their fathers

and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land,

whom God had wiped out before them.

26 (2Ki 15:19; 17:6) So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul

the king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria,

and he led the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh

into exile and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan

to this day.



[23] And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they

increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

[24] And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and

Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty

men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

[25] And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a

whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before

them.

[26] And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and

the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away,

even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and

brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto

this day.



2) Our Daily Bread for 23 April 2026 titled

Staying in Step by Patricia Raybon



Romans 15:5-7



Please Others, Not Yourself



5 (Ro 12:16; 1Co 1:10) Now may the God of perseverance and encouragement

grant you to live in harmony with one another in accordance with Christ

Jesus,

6 (Eph 1:3; Jn 20:17) so that together you may with one voice glorify

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.



[5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one

toward another according to Christ Jesus:

[6] That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ.



The Gospel for Jews and Gentiles Alike



7 Therefore welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed us,

for the glory of God.



[7] Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the

glory of God.



Lillian Colón, who grew up in an orphanage, beat out four hundred dancers to

win a coveted spot on a world-renowned dance team. She performed with that

group, with its tightly ordered synchronised choreography, until her

mid-forties. Now teaching dance at age seventy, she imparts to students her

greatest lesson from precision artistry: Work together. "On and off the stage,

our lives are deeply intertwined," she said, "and we all fare better when we

support and care for one another."



The apostle Paul knew the importance of this principle. Harmony in Christ

points praise to its true purpose - glorifying God. Paul taught this lesson to

believers in Rome, both Jewish and gentile, to encourage their unity. "May the

God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind

toward each other that Christ Jesus had," he wrote (Romans 15:5). This was

"so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ" (v. 6).



Competing voices won't produce this result. Joining together to praise God,

with no one person or group discounting another, gives unity in Christ its

true purpose. "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you," wrote

Paul, "in order to bring praise to God" (v. 7). When we seek God's help to do

this, He inspires our common voice as we step together and give Him glory.



Reflect & Pray



Whose voice can you join in praise to God?

How can you prioritise unified praise?



Please open my heart, dear God, to unified praise with others.



Be inspired by a lifestyle of worship and how it impacts you today.

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



Joshua 1:8



8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.

Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all

that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,

and you will be wise.



8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt

meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according

to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,

and then thou shalt have good success.



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



When you are discouraged or Depressed



Matthew 11:25-30



25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things

from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.

26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.

27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me

by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.

And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom

the Son will reveal Him.

28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily

burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.

For I am meek and lowly in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).

30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

because He has dealt bountifully with me.



The Hidden Revelation

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things

from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man

knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,

save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek

and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.



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.

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



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Glorious things are spoken of you,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon

to those who know Me;

look, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia;

"This man was born there."

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) But of Zion it shall be said,

Psalm 87

A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.

[1] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

[2] The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

[3] Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

[4] I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold

Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

[5] And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the

highest himself shall establish her.

2) Our Daily Bread for 22 April 2026 titled

Joining God to Help By Winn Collier



Psalm 72:12-14



12 Indeed, may he deliver the needy when he cries;

the poor also, and him who has no helper.

13 May he have compassion on the poor and needy,

and save the lives of the needy.

14 May he redeem their life from deceit and violence;

and may their blood be precious in his sight.



[12] For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him

that hath no helper.

[13] He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

[14] He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall

their blood be in his sight.



As the Taliban swiftly overran the Afghanistan government in 2021, and tens of

thousands were trapped with no way to escape, many were isolated and

desperate. Ordinary citizens jumped to action, including one young man who

launched an Instagram campaign, raising $7 million to pay for chartered

evacuation flights. "We've shed the political divisions in this situation," he

told a news outlet, "and really come together from all walks of life to rally

together and save these people." They chose to jump into the fray.



It's not just Afghanistan. From skyscrapers to villages around the world, so

many people are alone - enduring crushing sorrows. It's stunning, however, to

see God's attention turned toward these places of suffering and hopelessness.

Somehow, ultimately, in His own way and time, He will "deliver the needy who

cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help" (72:12). And remarkably, one

way God's help arrives is through us. Psalm 72 refers to both King Solomon's

work and God's work - and it's not always easy to disentangle which is which.

God is the rescuer, but He calls us to move with Him.



When we encounter injustice or suffering, we can join Him, moving right into

the middle of the ruin. We can follow God and go into the places where no one

else is there to help.



Reflect & Pray



What situation have you encountered where it seems like there's no one else to

help? How can you join God in that place?



Dear God, thank You for promising to help

us - and for calling us to join You in helping others.





Learn how you can be moved to helping those in need.

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?

Proverbs 22:7

7 The rich ruleth over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.



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



When you are Saddened by Loss



John 14:1 - 7



1 "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me.

2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

I am going to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again

and receive you to Myself,

that where I am, you may be also.

4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."

5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know

where You are going. How can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.

From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."



1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,

I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,

and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;

and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:

and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.



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.

Psalms 49

For the Music Director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 Hear this, all you people; give ear, all you inhabitants of the world,

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) both low and high, rich and poor together.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) My mouth will speak wisdom, and the meditation

of my heart will be understanding.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I will incline my ear to a parable;

I will expound my riddle with a harp.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Why should I fear in the days of evil,

when the iniquity of my stalkers surrounds me?

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Those who trust in their wealth,

and boast in the multitude of their riches,

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) none of them can by any means redeem the other,

nor give to God a ransom for anyone,

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) for the redemption of their souls is costly;

even so people cease to exist forever,

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) making efforts to live eternally, and not see the pit.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) For one sees that wise men die,

together the fool and the brute perish, and leave their wealth to others.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Their graves become their perpetual homes,

and their dwelling places to all generations,

though they call their lands after their own names.

12 But a man does not abide in honour;

mankind is like the beasts that come to ruin.

13 This is their way, it is their folly;

yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah

14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd;

the upright shall rule over them in the morning,

and their form shall waste away in Sheol, far from their dwelling.

15 But God shall redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,

for He shall receive me. Selah

16 Do not fear when one is made rich,

when the glory of his house is increased,

17 for he takes nothing away in death; his glory does not descend after him.

18 Though while he lives he blesses his soul-

and men will praise you when you do well for yourself-

19 that soul will go to the generation of his fathers;

they will never see light.

20 A man in honor, and yet without understanding,

is like the animals that perish.



Psalm 49

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

[1] Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

[2] Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

[3] My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be

of understanding.

[4] I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon

the harp.

[5] Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my

heels shall compass me about?

[6] They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude

of their riches;

[7] None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a

ransom for him:

[8] (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

[9] That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

[10] For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish

person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

[11] Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and

their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their

own names.

[12] Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts

that perish.

[13] This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their

sayings. Selah.

[14] Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and

the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty

shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.

[15] But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall

receive me. Selah.

[16] Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house

is increased;

[17] For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not

descend after him.

[18] Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee,

when thou doest well to thyself.

[19] He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see

light.

[20] Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that

perish.



Psalms 84

For the Music Director. According to The Gittith.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

1 How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord;

my heart and my body cry out for the living God.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Yes, the sparrow has found a home and the swallow a nest

for herself, where she may lay her young, even at Your altars,

O Lord of Hosts, my King and my God.

they continually praise You. Selah

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,

in whose heart are the paths to Zion.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) As they pass through the Valley of Baca,

they makes it a spring; the early rain also covers it with pools.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) They go from strength to strength;

every one of them appears in Zion before God.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) O Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer,

and give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Behold, O God our shield,

and look upon the face of Your anointed.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) For a day in Your courts is better

than a thousand elsewhere.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God

than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For the Lord God is a sun and shield;

the Lord will give favor and glory,

for no good thing will He withhold

from the one who walks uprightly.

12 O Lord of Hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You.



Psalm 84

To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

[1] How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

[2] My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart

and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

[3] Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for

herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of

hosts, my King, and my God.

[4] Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising

thee. Selah.

[5] Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the

ways of them.

[6] Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also

filleth the pools.

[7] They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth

before God.

[8] O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

[9] Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

[10] For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a

doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of

wickedness.

[11] For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and

glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

[12] O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people;

You have covered all their sin. Selah

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You have withdrawn all Your wrath;

You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Restore us, O God of our salvation,

and put away Your indignation toward us.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Will You be angry with us forever?

Will You draw out Your anger to all generations?

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Will You not revive us again,

that Your people may rejoice in You?

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Show us Your mercy, O Lord,

and grant us Your deliverance.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will hear what God the Lord will speak,

for He will speak peace to His people and to His saints,

but let them not turn again to folly.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Surely His salvation is near to them who fear Him,

that glory may dwell in our land.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Mercy and truth have met together;

righteousness and peace have kissed.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Truth springs from the ground,

and righteousness looks down from the sky.

12 Yes, the Lord gives that which is good,

and our land shall yield its increase.

13 Righteousness shall go before Him

and prepare a way for His footsteps.



Psalm 85

the captivity of Jacob.

[2] Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all

their sin. Selah.

[3] Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the

fierceness of thine anger.

[5] Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to

all generations?

[6] Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

[7] Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.

[8] I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto

his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly.

[9] Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in

our land.

[10] Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed

each other.

[11] Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down

from heaven.

[12] Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield

her increase.

[13] Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his

steps.

Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, O God,

and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;

deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For You are the God of my refuge;

why have You rejected me?

Why do I walk about mourning

because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Send out Your light and Your truth.

Let them lead me;

let them bring me to Your holy hill,

and to Your dwelling place.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Then I will go to the altar of God,

to the God of my joyful gladness;

with the harp I will give thanks to You,

O God, my God.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Why are you cast down, O my soul?

And why are you disquieted withinme?

Hope in God;

for I will yet give Him thanks,

the salvation of my countenance and my God.



Psalm 43

[1] Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:

O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

[2] For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off?

Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

[3] O send out thy light and thy truth: Let them lead me;

Let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

[4] Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy:

Yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.

[5] Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me?

Hope in God:

For I shall yet praise him, Who is the health of my countenance, and my God.



Psalms 44

For the Music Director. A Contemplative Maskil of the sons of Korah.

1 We have heard with our ears, O God,

our fathers have told us

what work You did in their days,

in the days of old:

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) how You drove out the nations with Your hand,

and planted others instead;

how You afflicted peoples,

and sent them away.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For they did not take possession

of the land by their own sword,

nor did their own arm save them;

but it was Your right hand, and Your arm,

and the light of Your countenance, because You had favor on them.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) You are my King, O God;

command deliverances for Jacob.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Through You we will push down our opponents;

through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) For I will not trust in my bow,

nor will my sword save me.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) But You have saved us from our opponents,

and have put to shame those who hate us.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) In God we boast all the day long,

and give thanks to Your name forever. Selah

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) But You have rejected us and put us to shame,

and do not go out with our armies.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) You make us to turn back from the opponent,

and those who hate us make us their spoil.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) You have placed us like sheep for prey,

and have scattered us among the nations.

12 You sell Your people for nothing,

and do not increase Your wealth by their sale.

13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors,

a scorn and a derision to those who surround us.

14 You make us a byword among the nations,

a shaking of the head among the people.

15 All day long my reproach is before me,

and the shame of my face covers me,

16 from the voice of him who reproaches and reviles,

by reason of the enemy and avenger.

17 All this is come on us,

yet we have not forgotten You,

nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.

18 Our heart is not turned back,

nor have our steps deviated from Your way,

19 though You have crushed us in the place of jackals,

and covered us with the shadow of death.

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,

or stretched out our hands to a strange god,

21 would not God search this out?

For He knows the secrets of the heart.

22 Yes, for Your sake we are killed all the day long;

we are considered like sheep for the slaughter.

23 Awake; why do You sleep, O Lord?

Arise; do not reject us forever.

24 Why do You hide Your face,

and forget our affliction and our oppression?

25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust;

our body cleaves to the earth.

26 Arise, be our help,

and redeem us for the sake of Your lovingkindness.



Psalm 44

To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil.

[1] We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,

What work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

[2] How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them;

How thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

[3] For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,

Neither did their own arm save them:

But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance,

Because thou hadst a favour unto them.

[4] Thou art my King, O God: Command deliverances for Jacob.

[5] Through thee will we push down our enemies:

Through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

[6] For I will not trust in my bow, Neither shall my sword save me.

[7] But thou hast saved us from our enemies,

And hast put them to shame that hated us.

[8] In God we boast all the day long, And praise thy name for ever. Selah.

[9] But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame;

And goest not forth with our armies.

[10] Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy:

And they which hate us spoil for themselves.

[11] Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat;

And hast scattered us among the heathen.

[12] Thou sellest thy people for nought,

And dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

[13] Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours,

A scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

[14] Thou makest us a byword among the heathen,

A shaking of the head among the people.

[15] My confusion is continually before me,

And the shame of my face hath covered me,

[16] For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth;

By reason of the enemy and avenger.

[17] All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,

Neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

[18] Our heart is not turned back,

Neither have our steps declined from thy way;

[19] Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons,

And covered us with the shadow of death.

[20] If we have forgotten the name of our God,

or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

[21] Shall not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

[22] Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long;

We are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

[23] Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord?

Arise, cast us not off for ever.

[24] Wherefore hidest thou thy face,

And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

[25] For our soul is bowed down to the dust:

Our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

[26] Arise for our help,

And redeem us for thy mercies' sake.



Psalms 45

For the Music Director. To the melody of "Lilies."

A Contemplative Maskil of the sons of Korah. A love song.

1 My heart is overflowing with a good thought;

I am speaking my works for the king;

my tongue is the pen of a skilled scribe.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) You are fairer than all the sons of men;

favor is poured on your lips;

therefore God has blessed you forever.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,

with your splendor and your majesty.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) In your majesty ride prosperously

because of truth and meekness and righteousness;

and your right hand will teach you awesome things.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies;

peoples will fall under you.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

the scepter of Your kingdom is an upright scepter.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You love righteousness and hate wickedness;

therefore God, your God, anointed you

with the oil of gladness above your companions.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) All your garments are fragrant with myrrh and aloes

and cassia; from the ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Kings' daughters are among your honourable women;

at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Listen, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;

forget your own people, and your father's house,

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) and the king will desire your beauty.

Since he is your lord, bow to him.

12 The daughter of Tyre will be there with a gift;

even the rich among the people will entreat your favor.

13 The royal daughter is all glorious within her chamber;

her clothing is plaited gold.

14 She shall be brought to the king in embroidered garments;

the virgins, her companions who follow her,

shall be brought to you.

15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought;

they shall enter into the king's palace.

16 Your sons shall succeed your fathers;

yo u will make them princes in all the land.

17 I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;

therefore the people will praise you forever and ever.



Psalm 45

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil,

A Song of loves.

[1] My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have

made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

[2] Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips:

therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

[3] Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy

majesty.

[4] And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and

righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

[5] Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the

people fall under thee.

[6] Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a

right sceptre.

[7] Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy

God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

[8] All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory

palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

[9] Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand

did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

[10] Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also

thine own people, and thy father's house;

[11] So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and

worship thou him.

[12] And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich

among the people shall intreat thy favour.

[13] The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought

gold.

[14] She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the

virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

[15] With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter

into the king's palace.

[16] Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make

princes in all the earth.

[17] I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore

shall the people praise thee for ever and ever.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 3 - The Promise of Completion



Philippians 1:6



6 (1Co 1:8; Jn 6:29) I am confident of this very thing,

that He who began a good work in you will perfect it

until the day of Jesus Christ.



6 being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun

a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:



"Elizabeth is a good student", the note on the side of the report card read,

"but she doesn't finish what she starts. She has a lot of good ideas, but

rarely brings then to completion."

Many of us are like Elizabeth. We start into a new venture with high hopes

and great motivation. But somewhere along the way, we become discouraged.

Someone tells us that our ideas are stupid, or that we are not capable of

doing what we dream. We get a particularly difficult hurdle and give up.

Sometimes we fell the Christian like is like that, too. We start well, and

believe that in Christ we can accomplish anything. But then our prayers

become rote, our Bible reading ritual. We can't seem to regain that sense

of God's presence; we have, we conclude, "Lost our first love." (Rev 2)

But God has a different perspective. He began the work of salvation in us;

he leads and guides us in his will, and he will complete what he has begun.

Often we fail to see God's grace in the ongoing process of walking with him

because his agenda is different from ours. We know what we want to see

happen in our lives; God knows what needs to happen.

"When I first came into a relationship with Christ," one woman explained,

"I knew I had a lot of changing to do. But, strangely enough, the things God

changed weren't on my list at all!"

When God begins his work in our lives, he has a plan for our maturity.

He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. And what God

has begun, he will finish.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to "decide" for God what problems in my life

needed dealing with?



b) Has God ever pointed out issues that were a surprise to me?



c) How can today's verse help me relax in God's will and

have confidence in the direction of my life?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 28:11



11 (Dt 28:4; 30:9) The Lord will make you overflow in prosperity,

in the offspring of your body, in the offspring of your livestock,

and in the produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore

to your fathers to give you.



11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body,

and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land

which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.



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



When you are lonely



1 John 4:16b-18



God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.

17 (1Jn 2:5; 2:28) In this way God's love is perfected in us,

so that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as He is,

so are we in this world.

18 (Ro 8:15; 2Ti 1:7) There is no fear in love,

but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.

Whoever fears is not perfect in love.



God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness

in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:

because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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





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



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



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

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

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

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the firmament shows His handiwork.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Day unto day utters speech,

and night unto night declares knowledge.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) There is no speech and there are no words;

their voice is not heard.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Their line has gone out through all the earth,

and their words to the end of the world.

In them has He set a tent for the sun,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber;

it rejoices as a strong man to run a race.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Its going forth is from one end of the heavens,

and its circuit extends to the other end,

and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The law of the Lord is perfect,

converting the soul;

the testimony of the Lord is sure,

making wise the simple;

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) the statutes of the Lord are right,

rejoicing the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is pure,

enlightening the eyes;

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) the fear of the Lord is clean,

enduring forever;

the judgments of the Lord are true

and righteous altogether.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) More to be desired are they than gold,

yes, than much fine gold;

sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Moreover by them is Your servant warned,

and by keeping them comes great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors?

Cleanse me from secret faults.

13 Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;

may they not rule over me.

Then I will be upright

and innocent from great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable in Your sight,

O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.



Psalms 19

[1] The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his

handywork.

[2] Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

[3] There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

[4] Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end

of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

[5] Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a

strong man to run a race.

[6] His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the

ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

[7] The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of

the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

[8] The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment

of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

[9] The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the

LORD are true and righteous altogether.

[10] More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:

sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

[11] Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is

great reward.

[12] Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

[13] Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have

dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the

great transgression.

[14] Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be

acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.



PSALMS 21



For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.



1 The king will rejoice in Your strength, O Lord,

and in Your salvation how greatly will he rejoice!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) You have given him his heart's desire,

and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For You meet him with the blessings of goodness;

You set a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He asked life of You, and You gave it him,

length of days forever and ever.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) His glory is great in Your salvation;

honor and majesty You set on him.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) For You place blessings on him forever;

You make him rejoice with gladness with Your presence.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) For the king trusts in the Lord,

and by the lovingkindness of the Most High

he will not be moved.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 ) Your hand will find out all Your enemies;

Your right hand will find out those who hate You.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2 ) You will make them as a fiery oven

in the time of Your appearance;

the Lord will swallow them up in His wrath,

and fire will devour them.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) You will destroy their offspring from the earth,

and their descendants from among the children of men.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For they intended evil against You;

they devised evil thoughts they will not be able to accomplish.

12 For You will make them turn their back,

when You aim with Your bowstrings against their face.

13 Be exalted, Lord, by Your strength;

may we sing and make music to Your might.



Psalms 21

[1] The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how

greatly shall he rejoice!

[2] Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the

request of his lips. Selah.

[3] For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou settest a

crown of pure gold on his head.

[4] He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for

ever and ever.

[5] His glory is great in thy salvation: honour and majesty hast thou laid

upon him.

[6] For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him

exceeding glad with thy countenance.

[7] For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most

High he shall not be moved.

out those that hate thee.

LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

[10] Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from

among the children of men.

[11] For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous

device, which they are not able to perform.

[12] Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make

ready thine arrows upon thy strings against the face of them.

[13] Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and

praise thy power.



2) Our Daily Bread for 21 April 2026 Lost but Now Found

by Nancy Gavilanes



Luke 15:8-10



The Parable of the Lost Coin



8 "Or what woman, having ten silver coins

(Gk. drachmas, each worth about a day's wage.)

and losing one, does not light a candle and sweep the house

and search diligently until she finds it?

9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors,

saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'

10 (Heb 1:14) Likewise, I tell you, there is joy in the presence

of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."



[8] Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,

doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she

find it?

[9] And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours

together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had

lost.

[10] Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of

God over one sinner that repenteth.



When I visited Ecuador's Amazon region with my father many years ago, we took

a fun speedboat ride to a small village to take in the sights and learn about

the local tribes. My dear dad bought me handmade jewelry, including a set of

earrings. I only wore those earrings on special occasions, including when I

went to visit my sister for my birthday. When I came back from my trip,

I was horrified to discover I'd lost one of my earrings. I looked everywhere.



It was just an earring, but I'd have to travel all the way back to the Amazon

jungle to replace it. Amazingly, when my sister returned to the restaurant we

had visited for my birthday, she spotted my missing earring in their lost and

found. I was overjoyed!



Jesus told a parable about a woman who'd lost her silver coin. She wouldn't

rest while her valuable coin was missing. "Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep

the house and search carefully until she finds it?" Jesus asked (Luke 15:8).

And when she found her coin, she greatly rejoiced (v. 9).



Jesus told this story to demonstrate how precious we are to God. He "came to

seek and to save" those who are lost (19:10). Although we were once lost,

heaven rejoiced when we were found.



Reflect & Pray



How does it feel to know you're precious to God?

How does it feel to know heaven rejoices when we're found?



Dear God, thank You for searching for me.

Psalms 10

1 Why do You stand far off, O Lord?

Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) In arrogance the wicked persecutes the poor;

let them be caught in the devices they have planned.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For the wicked boasts of his soul's desire;

he blesses the greedy and despises the Lord.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) The wicked, through the pride of his countenance,

will not seek God; God is not in all his thoughts.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) His ways are always prosperous;

Your judgments are high and distant from him;

as for all his enemies, they scoff at him.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) He says in his heart, "I shall not be moved;

for generations I shall not meet adversity."

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit

and oppression; under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) He sits in the lurking places of the villages;

in the secret places he murders the innocent;

his eyes lurk against the unfortunate.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den;

he lies in wait to catch the poor;

he catches the poor, drawing them into his net.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He crouches; he lies low,

so that the unfortunate fall by his strength.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) He says in his heart, "God has forgotten;

He hides His face; He will never see it."

12 Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand!

Do not forget the humble.

13 Why do the wicked despise God? He says in his heart,

"You will require an account."

14 You have seen it, for You observe trouble and grief,

to repay it with Your hand. The unfortunate one entrusts it to You;

You are the helper of the orphan.

15 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man;

seek out his wickedness until You find none.

16 The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations perished from His land.

17 The desire of the humble You have heard, O Lord;

You make their heart attentive; You bend Your ear

18 to judge the orphan and the oppressed; man on earth no longer trembles.



Psalm 10

Lamed

[1] Why standest thou afar off, O LORD?

Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

[2] The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor:

And blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

[5] His ways are always grievous; Thy judgments are far above out

For I shall never be in adversity.

He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

[10] He croucheth, and humbleth himself,

That the poor may fall by his strong ones.

[11] He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:

He hideth his face; he will never see it.

Qoph

[12] Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the humble.

[13] Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God?

He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Resh

[14] Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite

it with thy hand:

The poor committeth himself unto thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.

Shin

[15] Break thou the arm of the wicked

And the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

[16] The LORD is King for ever and ever:

The heathen are perished out of his land.

Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

[18] To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,

That the man of the earth may no more oppress.

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.

1The fool has said in his heart,

"There is no God."

They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds,

there is none who does good.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) The Lord looks down from heaven

on the children of men,

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You shame the counsel of the poor,

but the Lord is his refuge.

When the Lord turns back the captivity of His people,

Jacob will rejoice, and Israel will be glad.

none that doeth good, no, not one.

[4] Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as

they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

[5] There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the

righteous.

[6] Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel

for in You I take refuge.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2 ) I have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord;

my welfare has no existence outside of You."

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5 ) For the holy ones who are in the land,

they are the majestic ones; in them is all my delight.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 ) Those who chase after other gods,

their sorrows will be multiplied;

their drink offerings of blood I will not offer,

nor lift their names on my lips.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup;

You support my lot.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;

yes, an inheritance is beautiful for me.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 ) I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;

my affections also instruct me in the night seasons.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I have set the Lord always before me;

because He is at my right hand,

I will not be moved.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;

my flesh also will rest in security.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 ) For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,

nor will You suffer Your godly one to see corruption.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) You will make known to me the path of life;

in Your presence is fullness of joy;

at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.



Psalms 16

[1] Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

[2] O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness

extendeth not to thee;

[3] But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom

is all my delight.

[4] Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their

drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my

lips.

[5] The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou

maintainest my lot.

[6] The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly

heritage.

[7] I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct

me in the night seasons.

shall not be moved.

rest in hope.

Holy One to see corruption.

at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

in Sheol who will give You thanks?

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I am weary with my groaning;

all night I flood my bed with weeping;

I drench my couch with my tears.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) My eye wastes away from grief;

it grows weak because of all those hostile to me.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity;

for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2 ) The Lord has heard my supplication;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) May all my enemies be ashamed and greatly terrified;

may they turn back and be suddenly ashamed.



Psalm 6

To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger,

Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak:

O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

3 My soul is also sore vexed:

But thou, O LORD, how long?

4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul:

Oh save me for thy mercies' sake.

5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee:

In the grave who shall give thee thanks?

6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim;

I water my couch with my tears.

7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief;

It waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;

For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 The LORD hath heard my supplication;

The LORD will receive my prayer.

10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:

Let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

the work of Your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) what is man that You are mindful of him,

and the son of man that You attend to him?

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For You have made him a little lower than the angels,

and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You have given him dominion over the works

of Your hands;

You have put all things under his feet,

That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,

The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him?

And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels,

And hast crowned him with glory and honour.

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.

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.

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



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



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

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

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

The Prayer of David



2Sa 7:18-29



16 (2Sa 7:18) Then King David came and sat before the Lord, and he said,

"Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house that You have brought me

this far?

17 This was something small in Your eyes, God, but You have spoken

concerning the house of Your servant for a great while to come

and have regarded me with the status of a great man, O Lord God.

18 "What more can David speak to You for the honor of Your servant?

For You know Your servant.

19 (Isa 37:35) O Lord, for the sake of Your servant and according

to Your own heart You have done all these great things

and made known all these great things.

20 (Ex 15:11; Isa 44:6) "O Lord, there is none like You, and there is no god

besides You as we have heard with our ears.

21 Who is like Your people Israel, a nation on earth whom God has redeemed

for Himself as a people to make for Yourself a great name by great and awesome

deeds in driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed

from Egypt?

22 (Ex 19:5-6) For You made Your people Israel for Yourself for a people

forever, and You, O Lord, have become their God.



1 Chronicles 17



16 And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I,

O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast

also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast

regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant?

for thou knowest thy servant.

19 O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart,

hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

20 O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee,

according to all that we have heard with our ears.

21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God

went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness

and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people,

whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou,

LORD, becamest their God.



A pilot and his two daughters took off from Soldotna, Alaska, on a sightseeing

trip. Their small plane, however, never made it to its destination. After

several local pilots began searching for the missing aircraft, one named Terry

Godes finally spied its nearly submerged wreckage on a partially frozen lake.

The three family members were standing on its wings as they had been for

hours. Thankfully, the trio was soon rescued by the National Guard. Godes

humbly sacrificed his time and resources for others - leading to lives being

saved. In humility, he said of his efforts,

"I was just the guy that saw the plane first."



King David sacrificed much for the people of Israel, including battling to

save them from their enemies (1 Chronicles 14:8-17). Then he heard from the

prophet Nathan that through his bloodline a throne would be "established

forever," as fulfilled in Christ (17:14; see Luke 1:30-33). He replied in

humility, "Who am I, Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought

me this far?" (1 Chronicles 17:16). He knew that his life was established by

God and His will (v. 19) and that He had ultimately done the work of rescue

and redemption for David and his people (vv. 20-22).



Jesus "humbled himself" and made the ultimate sacrifice for us

(Philippians 2:8). As He helps us, let's humbly sacrifice our lives

for others.



Reflect & Pray



Why is humility before God so important?

What will it mean for you to humbly sacrifice for others?



Loving God, please help me to humbly sacrifice for You and others.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 2 - God's purpose: The Image of Christ



Romans 8:28-29



28 (Gal 1:15; Ge 50:20) We know that all things work together for

good to those who love God,

to those who are called according to His purpose.

29 (Ro 11:2; 1Co 15:49; Eph 1:11) For those whom He foreknew,

He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,

so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.



28 And we know that all things work together for good to them

that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed

to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.



A baby dies of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and the parents are

devastated, plagued with guilt, and Asking "Why?" A 17-year-old plunges

headfirst into a pond and to the surface a quadriplegic. A single mother

of 3, struck down by leukemia, has to release he children to foster homes.

And in all these cases, well-meaning Christians stand by and attempt to

comfort: "All things work together for good, you know," they say blithely,

"just trust God, and praise him for everything."

Such pat answers are often repeated because they do contain an element

of truth; they become "pat", meaningless, and superficial, when they are

used as a panacea for all ills, whether the cure fits or not.

The truth is, God does use everything for the benefit of his people -

even disaster and tragedy. Romans 8:28 says, "In all things God works ...."

God foes not cause human suffering. He is not the author of pain

and misery. But what the Enemy of our souls intends for

destruction, God can use for growth.

The key to understanding Romans 8:28 is Romans 8:29 . The Lord makes

clear what "his purpose" is: that we be "conformed to the

likeness of his Son." Everything that happens is not good,

but nothing is wasted in the economy of God. Even the sorrow,

misfortune, and calamity that strike all of us cam be used by the Spirit

to transform us into the image of Christ.



Application



a) Have I ever had experiences that made me doubt the

"all things work together for good"?



b) How does Romans 8:29 clarify Romans 8:28?



c) How can these verses help me deal with the struggles I have in my

own life?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 8:18



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

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

He swore to your fathers, as it is today.



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

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

thy fathers, as it is this day.
