Day 65 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 6 March 2026 reflections Part 6



Eight) Day 12 - Fasting clarifies what must be removed to receive what's next.



Scripture: Colossians 3:9-10 NLT



9 (Eph 4:22; 4:25) Do not lie one to another, since you have put off

the old nature with its deeds,

10 (Eph 2:10; 4:23-24; Ro 12:2) and have embraced the new nature,

which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him who created it,



[9] Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his

deeds;

[10] And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the

image of him that created him:



---



Spiritual growth doesn't drift toward renewal—it moves there by decision.



Paul's words are direct because the moment demands it: put off and put on.

This is not about trying harder; it’s about choosing differently. The old self

still shows up - not because it belongs, but because it's familiar. And what's

familiar can quietly shape what's next if it's not intentionally surrendered.



This is where fasting helps. Fasting removes the noise. It reveals what's

driving us beneath the surface - old desires, reactions, or identities that no

longer align with who Christ is forming us to be. Fasting doesn't make us

weak; it makes us honest. And honesty is the starting point of renewal.



The new self isn't something you create - it's someone you receive. Paul says

it is being renewed in the image of the Creator. That means God is reshaping

identity, not just behavior. He's realigning desire, not just discipline.

He's redirecting our lives, not just our schedules.



Here’s the tension: you can't put on the new while still clinging to the old.

Renewal requires release. But when you let go, something better fits. Over

time, what once felt unnatural - obedience, humility, trust - becomes your

default.



Fasting creates the margin where this exchange happens. What God reveals, He

intends to renew. What He asks you to remove, He replaces with something more

life-giving.



---



Reflective Questions:



A. What has fasting revealed about the old patterns or identities I'm still

wearing that no longer align with who God says I am?



B. Where is God inviting me to intentionally put on the new – reshaping my

desires, decisions, or direction in this season?



Prayer Items:



Please pray for our Pre-Marriage and Marriage Ministry ...



A. Christ-Centered Foundations

Pray that couples - dating, engaged, and married - would build their

relationships on Christ, aligning expectations, values, and commitments with

God's design rather than cultural pressure or past patterns (Col. 2:6–7).



6 (Col 1:10; 1Th 4:1) As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord,

so walk in Him,

7 (Eph 3:17; 2:20-22) rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith,

as you have been taught, and abounding with thanksgiving.



[6] As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

[7] Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been

taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.



B. Healing, Honesty, and Emotional Health

Ask God to bring healing to past wounds, break unhealthy relational cycles,

and cultivate safe spaces where couples practice honesty, vulnerability,

and forgiveness (Ps. 147:3).



3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.



[3] He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.



C. Unity, Communication, and Spiritual Intimacy

Pray that couples would grow in unity through healthy communication, mutual

submission, and shared spiritual rhythms - prayer, Scripture, and worship

shaping their life together (Eph. 4:2–3).



2 (Col 3:12-13; Ac 20:19) With all humility, meekness, and patience,

bearing with one another in love,

3 be eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.



[2] With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one

another in love;

[3] Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.



D. Marriage Ministry Team

Pray that God would raise up and call pre-marriage and marriage mentors.

That they would lead from lives of authenticity and integrity - listening

well, speaking with grace and truth, and relying on the Holy Spirit rather

than formulas or experience alone (2 Tim. 2:2).



2 (1Ti 1:18; 6:12) Share the things that you have heard from me

in the presence of many witnesses with faithful men who will be able

to teach others also.



[2] And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same

commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Day 65 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 6 March 2026 reflections Part 5



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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 2026



Pray for Somalia





Yasin has been a Christian for several years and has paid a high price

for it. Somalia is 99% Sunni Muslim and conversion from Islam is

illegal. Yasin did not publicise his faith, but he did share his belief

in Jesus on TikTok. This became public knowledge, and his voice was

recognised by his family. He was subsequently imprisoned, banned from

seeing his wife and children, and his taxi was confiscated.



In Somalia, the pressure comes primarily from family and clan. This was

also the case for Yasin. His family wanted him to come back to Islam.

But when Yasin refused, his father banished him from the family. Still,

Yasin remains strong in his faith. A brother in the diaspora holds

online Bible studies, and Yasin faithfully participates. This connects

him to God's worldwide church.



Yasin has a hunger for the Word of God. He still cannot keep his mouth

shut and continues to witness. Witnessing in Somalia usually doesn't

involve direct evangelism as that would immediately put lives in

danger. It's more often a matter of carefully sharing Jesus' teachings,

speaking from a place of love and forgiveness, and expressing hope.

It's a matter of carefully sharing a God you know, see, and love.



God is at work in Somalia. Much is being shared about the Christian

faith, especially online, and people are coming to faith. But all these

people face the same challenges as brother Yasin. Discovery means

exclusion from your family and clan (or worse). From that moment on,

your life is filled with uncertainty and danger.





How to Pray



Pray for Yasin's safety and livelihood and especially for his faith

and continued courage to show Jesus.

Intercede for Somali believers who are active online, that they may

share the Good News in truth.

* Praise God for the openness that exists among the Somali people in

Somalia and around the world.



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, ...) .

a) Pray for a more effective witness by the church in every Canadian community



(

Deut 4:6-7



6 (Job 28:28; Pr 1:7 ) Therefore, keep and do them, for this is your wisdom and

your understanding in the sight of the nations which shall hear all these

statutes, and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and

understanding people."

7 (2Sa 7:23; Ps 46:1) For what nation is there so great, who has a god so near

to it as the Lord our God is in all things whenever we call on Him?



6 Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and

your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these

statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and

understanding people.

7 For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them,

Matt 5:13-16



13 (Lev 2:13; Lk 14:34-35) "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt

loses its saltiness, how shall it be made salty? It is from then on good for

nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfoot by men.

14 (Jn 8:12; Pr 4:18) "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden.

15 (Mk 4:21; Lk 8:16) 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.

16 (1Pe 2:12; Mt 9:8; Jn 15:8) Let your light so shine before men that they

may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.



13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,

wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,

but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set

on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on

a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,

and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life

in all godliness and honesty, 3 (1Ti 1:1; Lk 1:47) for this is good and

acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 (Eze 18:23; 18:32)who desires all

men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.



1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers,

intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 for kings,

and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable

life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable

in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved,

God's Goodness by James Banks



Deuteronomy 6:10-19



10 (Jos 24:13; Ps 105:44) Then it shall be when the Lord your God

brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham,

Isaac, and Jacob, to give you great and fine cities,

which you did not build,

11 and houses full of all good things which you did not fill,

and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards

and olive trees which you did not plant, and you eat and are full,

12 then beware lest you forget the Lord who brought you

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

13 (Dt 10:20; Mt 4:10) You shall fear the Lord your God

and serve Him and shall swear by His name.

14 (Jer 25:6; Dt 8:19) You shall not go after other gods,

the gods of the people which surround you

15 (Dt 4:24; Ex 20:5) (for the Lord your God is a jealous God among you).

Otherwise the anger of the Lord your God will be inflamed against you

and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 (Ex 17:7; Mt 4:7) You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted

Him in Massah.

17 (Dt 11:22; Ps 119:4) You shall diligently keep the commandments

of the Lord your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which

He has commanded you.

18 (Dt 4:40; 12:25) You shall do what is right and good in the sight

of the Lord that it may be well with you and that you may go in

and possess the good land which the Lord swore to your fathers,

19 (Ex 23:28-30; Nu 33:52-53) to drive out all your enemies

before you, just as the Lord has spoken.



[10] And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the

land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to

give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

[11] And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells

digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou

plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

[12] Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of

the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

[13] Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his

name.

[14] Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are

round about you;

[15] (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the

LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of

the earth.

[16] Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

[17] Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his

testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

[18] And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the

LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess

the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

[19] To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath

spoken.



"Oh no!" That was my response upon opening a beehive and discovering the

colony had suddenly died. It had been a thriving hive with lots of honey.

I'd carefully maintained it throughout a mild winter and anticipated an early

harvest. But a cold snap in the warm weather had led to collapse.



I checked with local experts. "Many beekeepers lost hives this time," they

reassured me. Mild winters present challenges for bees, even healthy hives.

Bees fan their wings to maintain warmth in the hive in winter, but when the

weather warms briefly, they exhaust themselves seeking even more food. If

temperatures drop quickly, they don't have strength to keep warm. Their

"distraction" leads to destruction.



Even good things can become dangers when they turn us from what matters most.

Moses cautioned God's people about this after they left Egypt and before they

entered the land God was about to give them - a land with "houses filled with

all kinds of good things" that they "did not provide" (Deuteronomy 6:11).

"When you eat and are satisfied," Moses warned, "be careful that you do not

forget the Lord" (vv. 11-12).



Remembering God in our blessings helps us because He is the source of

"every good and perfect gift" (James 1:17). When we humbly respond to His

goodness by loving Him with heart, soul, and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5),

we find in Him the best blessing of all.



Reflect & Pray



What are you grateful for? How do all good things ultimately come from God?



Thank You, heavenly Father, for Your goodness

to me. Please help me to remember You today!

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 6 - Shielded by the Word



Proverbs 30:5



5 (Ps 12:6; 18:30) Every word of God is pure;

He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.



5 Every word of God is pure:

He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.



A wife of ten years, betrayed by her husband's infidelity, declares that

she will never trust a man again. A teenage son says of his father, "I

can't depend on him anymore! Dad always talk big and makes promises,

but he never does what he says." A career woman, her reputation

undermined by gossip, leaves the church broken, and never returns.

Human beings are weak, volatile, unfaithful creatures; often we

break our word and hurt others in the process. But the Scripture

clearly assures us that God's Word is not like the word of man.

God always remains faithful to his Word, always fulfills his promises,

always does what he says he will do.

God's word is pure (or flawless), Proverbs 30:5 says. His Word

is not distorted with mixed motives or flawed by untruth. God's Word

is dependable, able to support and lift us up, able to speak

encouragement to us. His Word is a "shield" a protection for us

against the onslaughts of the Enemy, a place of refuge from the struggle

and confusion of daily life.

We live in a world that recognises no absolute truth. Morality,

values, relationships, ethics - every decision of life, it seems,

"depends on the situation." But in the midst of the confusion,

God interjects his Word - timeless, pure, trustworthy, reliable.

We can depend upon God's Word. We can turn to him to verify who we are

and the purposes for which we were created. We can find refuge in his truth,

and rest in the knowledge that whatever he says, he will do.



Application



a) In my own experience, how have I found God's Word

to be different from the word of men and women?



b) In what areas of my life do I need the assurance of the validity

and dependability of God's Word?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Genesis 30:43



The man became exceedingly prosperous and had many sheep

and female servants and male servants and camels and donkeys.



And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle,

and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.



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



When you are anxious



Phil 4:4-7



4 (Php 3:1; Ro 12:12 Rejoice in the Lord always.

Again I will say, rejoice!

5 (Jas 5:8-9) Let everyone come to know your gentleness.

The Lord is at hand.

6 (Eph 6:18; Mt 6:25-33) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything,

by prayer and supplication with gratitude, make your requests known

to God.

7 (Jn 14:27; Col 3:15; Isa 26:3) And the peace of God, which surpasses

all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.



4 Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication

with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,

shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.



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.

Laws of Inheritance



Nu 36:1-12



1 (Nu 26:33) Then came near the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,

the son of Gilead, the son of Makir, the son of Manasseh,

of the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and these are

the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah.

2 They stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,

and before the leaders and all the assembly by the door of the tent

of meeting, saying,

3 (Nu 26:64-65; 14:35) "Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not

in the company of them that gathered against the Lord, in the company

of Korah, but died in his own sin and had no sons.

4 (Jos 17:4) Why should the name of our father diminish from among

his family, because he has no son? Give to us a possession

among the brothers of our father."

5 Moses brought their case before the Lord.

6 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

7 The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.

You will certainly give them an inheritance among their father's brothers,

and you will cause the inheritance of their father to pass on to them.

8 You will speak to the children of Israel, saying, "If a man dies,

and has no son, then you will cause his inheritance

to pass on to his daughter.

9 If he has no daughter, then you will give his inheritance to his brothers.

10 If he has no brothers, then you will give his inheritance

to his father's brothers.

11 (Nu 35:29; Ru 4:3-6) If his father has no brothers, then you will give

his inheritance to his closest kinsman in his family, and he will possess it.

And it will be for the children of Israel a statute of judgment,

as the Lord commanded Moses."



[1] Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of

Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh

the son of Joseph: and these are the names of his daughters; Mahlah, Noah,

and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

[2] And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before

the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation, saying,

[3] Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them

that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah;

but died in his own sin, and had no sons.

[4] Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family,

because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the

brethren of our father.

[5] And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.

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

[7] The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a

possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt

cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.

[8] And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die,

and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his

daughter.

[9] And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his

brethren.

[10] And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his

father's brethren.

unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall possess it:

and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the

LORD commanded Moses.



Joshua to Succeed Moses



12 (Nu 33:47-48) The Lord said to Moses, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim,

and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

13 (Nu 31:2; Dt 10:6_ When you have seen it, you also will be gathered

to your people as Aaron your brother was gathered.

14 (Ex 17:7; Nu 20:24) For you rebelled against My commandment in

the Wilderness of Zin when the congregation argued against Me.

You did not show My holiness at the waters before their eyes." (

These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.)

15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying,

16 (Nu 16:22) "Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh,

appoint a man over the assembly

17 (Dt 31:2; 1Ki 22:17) who will go out before them,

and who will go in before them, and who will lead them out,

and who will bring them in, so the assembly of the Lord

will not be like sheep who do not have a shepherd."

18 (Dt 34:9; Ge 41:38; Nu 27:23) The Lord said to Moses,

"Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit,

and lay your hand on him,

19 (Dt 3:28) and cause him to stand before Eleazar the priest

and before all the assembly, and command in their sight.

20 (Jos 1:16-18) You will put some of your majesty on him,

in order that all the assembly of the children of Israel will listen.

21 (Ex 28:30; Jos 9:14) He will stand before Eleazar the priest,

who will ask for him about the judgment of the Urim before the Lord.

At his word will they go out, and at his word they will come in, both

he and all the children of Israel with him, even all the assembly."

22 Moses did as the Lord commanded him, and he took Joshua,

and he caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest

and before all the assembly.

23 (Nu 27:19) And he laid his hands on him

and commanded him as the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.



[12] And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and

see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.

[13] And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy

people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.

[14] For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the

strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes:

that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

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

[16] Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the

congregation,

[17] Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and

which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation

of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.

[18] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in

whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

[19] And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation;

and give him a charge in their sight.

[20] And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the

congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

[21] And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for

him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go

out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of

Israel with him, even all the congregation.

[22] And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set

him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:

[23] And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD

commanded by the hand of Moses.

bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye

observe to offer unto me in their due season.

[3] And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye

---



David, the author of this Psalm was truly convinced that God would hear and

answer his prayer due to his own personal experience of God’s deliverance many

times over. In this Psalm, David wants to convey the idea of being desperately

trapped in abysmally dark circumstances. Whether the miry pit was of David's

making or of a conspiracy against him he knew to cry out to the Lord for

deliverance. God did for David what he could not do for himself. God set

David's feet on a solid, secure rock and established his steps.

In Psalm 40:4 David says, "Blessed is he who maketh the Lord his Trust."



David's imagery here is a picture of our salvation in Jesus Christ, who is the

Cornerstone for all who put their faith and trust in Him. Before salvation,

we are like David in the pit, bound by sin in a prison of despair and headed

for death and destruction in hell. But after salvation, we are like David with

his feet set upon a rock. When we call upon the name of the Lord, Jesus saves

us. He delivers us from our sin-filled past and transforms us into shining

new creations in Jesus Christ. He also promises our lives and futures

are secure in Him.



The result of this deliverance is a fresh response (a new song) arising from a

heart overflowing with gratitude. And lastly, when we spend time contemplating

our immeasurable indebtedness to the Lord, the natural response of

thankfulness is a fresh commitment to the Lord.

Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

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

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

Strength from Struggle by Patricia Rayborn



Roamns 5:1-5



Results of Justification



1 (Jn 14:27; Ro 4:5) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith,

we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

2 (1Co 15:1; Eph 2:18) through whom we also have access by faith

into this grace in which we stand, and so we rejoice in hope of the glory

of God.

3 (Jas 1:2-3; 1:12) Not only so, but we also boast in tribulation,

knowing that tribulation produces patience,

4 (Jas 1:12) patience produces character, and character produces hope.

5 (Gal 4:6; Php 1:20) And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God

is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.



Romans 5

[1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our

Lord Jesus Christ:

[2] By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand,

and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

[3] And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that

tribulation worketh patience;

[4] And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

[5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in

our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.



Jess was getting on in years when he first heard the children's folktale about

the boy and the butterfly. Right away, he understood the story's lesson on

gaining strength from struggle. In the tale, a boy is given a butterfly cocoon

but told not to open it. But as the cocoon slowly twists and shudders in his

hand, the boy can't resist using scissors to split it open so the butterfly

inside can escape.



Freed from the struggle, however, the butterfly falls to the ground and dies

without ever flying. "What happened?" the boy cries. Jess, after a long life,

understood instantly. "The boy prevented the butterfly from using the muscles

needed to grow strong and fly."



The children's lesson may be a fable, but it affirms the bracing biblical

truth taught by Paul to persecuted believers in Jesus in Rome: "We also glory

in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

perseverance, character; and character, hope" (Romans 5:3-4).



Paul wasn't saying to celebrate pain or deny its heartbreak. He confirmed

instead that God will use life's troubles to build our character, growing

our hope in Him.



It's in His strength that God develops our trust in His overcoming power.

The butterfly was cheated from growing stronger to fly. But in Christ, we can

rejoice as struggles lift us with character to God our deliverer.



Reflect & Pray



What's your attitude regarding struggle?

How has struggle grown your trust in God?



As I face life's struggles, dear Jesus, I thank

You for building my character and trust in You.



How can we find joy amidst struggling?

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 5 - Learning by Heart



Ps 119:9,11



9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) How shall a young man keep his way pure?

By keeping it according to Your word.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Your word I have hidden in my heart,

that I might not sin against You.



9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?

By taking heed thereto according to thy word.

11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart,

That I might not sin against thee.



"His heart is not just in it," a gifted musician commented about the

pianist onstage. "He's here at the Orchestra Hall, playing for

thousands of people, an his technique is flawless, but something

is missing - his heart is just not in it."

The psalmist , in Psalm 119, draws a similar parallel. We "Keep our

way pure" through obedience of his Word, by ordering our lives according

to the commands of the Scriptures. But outward behaviour is not the only

essential factor in purity of life. The changes in our behaviour need to

come from the heart, from the inside out. Our "technique" for living

the Christian life may be flawless, but our obedience is founded

in heart motivation, something is certainly missing.

"I seek you with all my heart," the psalmist declares in verse 10.

Thus he can say in verse 11, "Your word I have hidden in my heart,

that I might not sin against You."

Often we refer to memorisation as "learning by heart" - and indeed

"by heart" is the biblical mandate for assimilating God's truth

into our daily lives. "By rote" or "By Mind" leaves us

intellectually overstuffed, yet spiritually starving.

When we try to apply the Word outwardly to our behaviour,

we end up in a tangle of legalism, a log "do list" by which

we hope to please God. But when we set our hearts toward God first,

then changes in our behaviour grow out of love for God and a deep

desire to serve him. Then we are truly loving and obeying God with

our whole hearts.



Application



a) In what ways have I tried to apply God's word to my behaviour

without having the truth firmly in my heart? What was the result?



b) How can I set my heart toward God and give myself more fully

to his Word?



c) What areas of my life need "purifying"? How can these verses

help me to "make my way pure"?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Haggai 2:7-9



7 (1Ki 8:11; Isa 60:7) And I will shake all the nations,

and they will come with the wealth of all nations,

and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of Hosts.

8 (Isa 60:17) The silver is mine, and the gold is Mine,

says the Lord of Hosts.

9 (Isa 9:6-7) The glory of this latter house will be greater

than the former, says the Lord of Hosts. And in this place

I will give peace, says the Lord of Hosts.



7 and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations

shall come: and I will fill this house with glory,

saith the LORD of hosts.

8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,

saith the LORD of hosts.

9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater

than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place

will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



James 1:12-18



Trial and Temptation



12 (Jas 2:5; 1Co 9:25; 2Ti 4:8) Blessed is the man who endures temptation,

for when he is tried, he will receive the crown of life,

which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God,"

for God cannot be tempted with evil; neither does He tempt anyone.

14 But each man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.

15 (Job 15:35; Ps 7:14) Then, when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin;

and when sin is finished, it brings forth death.

16 (Jas 1:19; 2:5) Do not err, my beloved brothers.

17 (Mal 3:6; Nu 23:19; Jn 3:27) Every good gift and every perfect gift

is from above and comes down from the Father of lights,

with whom is no change or shadow of turning.

18 (1Pe 1:23; Jn 1:13; Rev 14:4) Of His own will He brought us forth with

the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.



12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried,

he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised

to them that love him.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God:

for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14 but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust,

and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin:

and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,

and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness,

neither shadow of turning.

18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth,

that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.



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.

NUMBERS 25



Moab Seduces Israel



1 (Jos 2:1; Nu 33:49) While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people began to

commit harlotry with the women of Moab.

2 (1Co 10:20; Ex 20:5) They called the people to the sacrifices

of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

3 (Jos 22:17; Hos 9:10) Israel joined himself to the Baal of Peor,

and the anger of the Lord was inflamed against Israel.

4 (Dt 13:17; 4:3) The Lord said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people

and hang them before the Lord in the sun, that the fierce

anger of the Lord turn from Israel."

5 (Ex 18:21) Moses said to the judges of Israel,

"Kill each of the men who have aligned themselves with the Baal of Peor."

6 (Joel 2:17; Nu 22:4) Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought

to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight

of all the assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping

before the door of the tent of meeting.

7 (Ex 6:25) When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,

saw it, he rose up from among the assembly and took a spear in his hand,

8 (Nu 16:46-48) and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust

both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly.

So the plague was stopped from the children of Israel.

9 (1Co 10:8; Nu 16:49-50) Those that died in the plague were 24000.

10 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 (Dt 32:16; 32:21) "Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron

the priest, has turned My wrath away from the children of Israel,

because he was zealous for My sake among them, so I did not exterminate

the children of Israel in My zeal.

12 (Mal 2:4-5) Therefore say, 'I hereby grant him My covenant of peace.

13 (Ex 40:15; 1Ch 6:4-15) And it will be for him and his seed after him,

even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous

for his God and made an atonement for the children of Israel.'"

14 Now the name of the slain Israelite who was slain with the Midianite

woman was Zimri the son of Salu,

a leader of a chief house among the Simeonites.

15 (Nu 31:8; Jos 13:21) The name of the Midianite woman that was slain

was Kozbi the daughter of Zur.

He was chief over a people and of a father's house in Midian.

16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17 "Be hostile to the Midianites, and defeat them,

18 (Rev 2:14) because they have been hostile to you with their wiles,

with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor

and in the matter of Kozbi the daughter of a leader of Midian,

their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague because of Peor."



Numbers 25

[1] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom

with the daughters of Moab.

[2] And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the

people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

[3] And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was

kindled against Israel.

[4] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang

them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD

may be turned away from Israel.

[5] And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that

were joined unto Baal-peor.

[6] And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his

brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all

the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[7] And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw

it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

[8] And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of

them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the

plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

[9] And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

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

[11] Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned

my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake

among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

[12] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

[13] And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an

everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an

atonement for the children of Israel.

[14] Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with

the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house

among the Simeonites.

[15] And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the

daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.

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

[17] Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

[18] For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in

the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of

Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's

sake.

among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance

given them among the children of Israel.

63 These were counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who counted

the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.

64 (Dt 2:14-15) But among these there was not a man counted by Moses

and Aaron the priest when they counted the children of Israel

in the Wilderness of Sinai

65 (Nu 14:28-30; 14:38) because the Lord had said of them,

"They will surely die in the wilderness." And there was not a man left

of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

Day 64, 5 March 2026



1) Numbers 25, Numbers 26



NUMBERS 25



Moab Seduces Israel



1 (Jos 2:1; Nu 33:49) While Israel dwelt in Shittim, the people began to

commit harlotry with the women of Moab.

2 (1Co 10:20; Ex 20:5) They called the people to the sacrifices

of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.

3 (Jos 22:17; Hos 9:10) Israel joined himself to the Baal of Peor,

and the anger of the Lord was inflamed against Israel.

4 (Dt 13:17; 4:3) The Lord said to Moses, "Take all the chiefs of the people

and hang them before the Lord in the sun, that the fierce

anger of the Lord turn from Israel."

5 (Ex 18:21) Moses said to the judges of Israel,

"Kill each of the men who have aligned themselves with the Baal of Peor."

6 (Joel 2:17; Nu 22:4) Behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought

to his brothers a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight

of all the assembly of the children of Israel, who were weeping

before the door of the tent of meeting.

7 (Ex 6:25) When Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,

saw it, he rose up from among the assembly and took a spear in his hand,

8 (Nu 16:46-48) and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust

both of them through, the man of Israel and the woman through her belly.

So the plague was stopped from the children of Israel.

9 (1Co 10:8; Nu 16:49-50) Those that died in the plague were 24000.

10 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 (Dt 32:16; 32:21) "Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron

the priest, has turned My wrath away from the children of Israel,

because he was zealous for My sake among them, so I did not exterminate

the children of Israel in My zeal.

12 (Mal 2:4-5) Therefore say, 'I hereby grant him My covenant of peace.

13 (Ex 40:15; 1Ch 6:4-15) And it will be for him and his seed after him,

even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous

for his God and made an atonement for the children of Israel.'"

14 Now the name of the slain Israelite who was slain with the Midianite

woman was Zimri the son of Salu,

a leader of a chief house among the Simeonites.

15 (Nu 31:8; Jos 13:21) The name of the Midianite woman that was slain

was Kozbi the daughter of Zur.

He was chief over a people and of a father's house in Midian.

16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

17 "Be hostile to the Midianites, and defeat them,

18 (Rev 2:14) because they have been hostile to you with their wiles,

with which they have deceived you in the matter of Peor

and in the matter of Kozbi the daughter of a leader of Midian,

their sister, who was slain on the day of the plague because of Peor."



Numbers 25

[1] And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom

with the daughters of Moab.

[2] And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the

people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.

[3] And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was

kindled against Israel.

[4] And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang

them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD

may be turned away from Israel.

[5] And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that

were joined unto Baal-peor.

[6] And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his

brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all

the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door

of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[7] And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw

it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

[8] And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of

them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the

plague was stayed from the children of Israel.

[9] And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.

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

[11] Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned

my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake

among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.

[12] Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:

[13] And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an

everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an

atonement for the children of Israel.

[14] Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with

the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house

among the Simeonites.

[15] And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the

daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.

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

[17] Vex the Midianites, and smite them:

[18] For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in

the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of

Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's

sake.

Day 63 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 4 March 2026 reflections Part 5

Eight) Day 10 - Daily mercy sustains long obedience.



Scripture: Lamentations 3:22–23 NIV



22 (Mal 3:6; Ps 78:38) It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed;

His compassions do not fail.

23 (Zep 3:5; Ps 36:5) They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.



22] It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his

compassions fail not.

[23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.



---



Lamentations is written from the rubble. Jerusalem has fallen. The people are

exhausted, disoriented, and grieving what's been lost. This isn't

a mountaintop moment, it's the aftermath.



And yet, right here, Jeremiah says something startling:

"His mercies… are new every morning."



Not new after everything is fixed. Not new once

the people finally get it right. New every morning.



God's mercy doesn't wait for improvement, it meets us in endurance.



Most of us don't struggle with obeying God once. We struggle with obeying Him

again. Again after disappointment. Again after conflict. Again after seasons

when community feels harder than it should. We want transformation to be

dramatic and immediate, but God often works through faithfulness that looks

ordinary and repetitive.



That's why daily mercy matters. Long obedience isn't powered by willpower;

it's sustained by grace. Each day, God supplies what we need, not for the

whole journey, but for today.



Fasting helps us feel our need for that mercy. Hunger reminds us that we are

dependent people, not self-sustaining ones. And in that dependence, God meets

us, not with frustration, but with fresh compassion.



The promise here isn't that today will be easy. It's that today will be held.



Great is His faithfulness, not because we never falter, but because He never

fails to show up.



---

grace in conflict, and faithfulness in the ordinary rhythms of following

Jesus together.

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Gen 13:2,5-6,14-17



2 (Ge 24:35; Ps 112:1-3) Abram was very wealthy in livestock,

in silver and in gold.

5 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.

6 (Ge 36:6-7) But the land was not able to support them

both dwelling together because their possessions were so great.

14 (Ge 28:14; Dt 3:27) After Lot had departed from him,

the Lord said to Abram,

"Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are,

northward and southward and eastward and westward.

15 (Ge 12:7; 2Ch 20:7) All the land that you see I will give to you

and to your descendants forever.

16 (Ge 28:14; Nu 23:10) I will make your descendants like the dust

of the earth, so that if a man could number the dust of the earth,

then your descendants could also be numbered.

17 Arise, and walk throughout the land across its length

and its width, for I will give it to you."



2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

5 And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together:

for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

14 And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him,

Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward,

and southward, and eastward, and westward:

15 for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,

and to thy seed for ever.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man

can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it;

for I will give it unto thee.



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



God's Generous Provision



Ps 145:13b-21



13 Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

14 The Lord upholds all who fall,

and raises up all who are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon You,

and You give them their food in due season.

16 You open Your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways

and loving in all His works.

18 The Lord is near to all those who call upon Him,

to all who call upon Him in truth.

19 He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;

And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways,

And holy in all his works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him,

To all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him:

He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him:

But all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD:

And let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

Pray for Uighurs




Soliha grew up in a traditional Muslim home in Central Asia but felt a

closeness to God. When the Soviet Union broke up and her country became

independent, Muslim missionaries organized classes for girls to learn the

Quran and Hadith. At first, Soliha was excited, but grew doubtful when she

realised what the teachings didn't speak much of God's love.



When her family became friends with a Christian family, Soliha at first

objected. Everyone knew Christians were immoral! But she was fascinated by how

this family followed God. They could pray anytime and anywhere, no matter

whether they had washed before prayer or were out in the market. Jesus'

teachings about blessing and not cursing and loving your enemies sounded

more like God's character than what she was taught. It took nearly three

years, but Soliha finally found new life in Jesus.



Despite the mocking from her classmates, Soliha knew that she wanted other

Muslims to discover there was God's love for them through Jesus. She learned

this would be a hard road when, during a time of sharing, she was arrested

and held for a time in prison. But this prepared her for when God put the

Uighurs on her heart and she decided to move to Northwest China.





See also Pray for the Peul of Guinea




Being from a similar culture meant that Soliha could visit a family

and minutes later be in the kitchen rolling out fresh lagman noodles - a

traditional Uighur dish - with the wife. At other times, she would eat in a

café and then find chatting with the staff, sharing her faith with the cook

and the pantry staff. Soliha rejoiced that her Muslim background gave her

such fruitful inroads with her new Uighur friends.



How to Pray



Ask God to deliver the Uighurs from the suffering and

persecution they have experienced in many different countries.



Pray for believers like Soliha to reach out in love to Uighurs worldwide.



Pray for wide distribution of Uighur Scriptures and other Christian

materials.



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, ...) .

Day 63 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 4 March 2026 reflections Part 3

Numbers 24





[1] And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went

not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward

the wilderness.

[2] And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents

according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.

[3] And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,

and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

[4] He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the

Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

[5] How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!

[6] As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as

the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees

beside the waters.

[7] He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in

many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall

be exalted.

[8] God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of

an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their

bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

[9] He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir

him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth

thee.

[10] And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands

together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies,

and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

[11] Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto

great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.

[12] And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which

thou sentest unto me, saying,

[13] If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go

beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own

mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?

[14] And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will

advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.



Balaam's Fourth Prophecy



15 (Nu 23:7; 24:3-4) He took up his parable and said:

"The oracle of Balaam the son of Beor,

and the oracle of the man whose eyes are open;

16 (Nu 24:4) the oracle of the one hearing the words of God,

and knowing the knowledge of the Most High,

who sees the vision of the Almighty,

falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

17 (Ge 49:10; 2Sa 8:2; Ps 45:6) "I will see him, but not now;

I will behold him, but not near;

a star will come out of Jacob,

and a scepter will rise out of Israel,

and will crush the borderlands of Moab,

and destroy all the children of Sheth.

18 (Am 9:12; Ge 27:29) Edom will be a possession,

and Seir, a possession of its enemies,

while Israel does valiantly.

19 (Ge 49:10; Mic 5:2) One out of Jacob shall have dominion,

and destroy the survivors of the city."

20 (Ex 17:14) Then he looked on Amalek; he took up his proverb and said:

"Amalek was the first of the nations,

but his end will be that he perishes forever."

21 (Ge 15:19) He looked on the Kenites and took up his proverb and said:

"Strong is your dwelling place,

and you put your nest in a rock;

22 nevertheless the Kenite will be wasted.

How long until Ashur carries you away captive?"

23 He took up his proverb and said:

"Alas, who will live when God does this?

24 (Ge 10:4; Nu 24:20) And ships will come from the coasts of Cyprus

and will afflict Ashur and will afflict Eber,

and he also will perish forever."

25 (Nu 31:8) Balaam rose up and went and returned to his place,

and Balak also went his way.



[15] And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,

and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

[16] He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of

the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance,

but having his eyes open:

[17] I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there

shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and

shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

[18] And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his

enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

[19] Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy

him that remaineth of the city.

[20] And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek

was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for

ever.

[21] And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong

is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.

[22] Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee

away captive.

[23] And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God

doeth this!

[24] And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict

Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.

[25] And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also

went his way.

The Unnamed Women By Elise Morgan



Luke 8:1-3



Women Who Accompany Jesus



1 (Mt 4:23) Afterward, He went throughout every city and village, preaching

and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. With Him were the twelve

2 (Mt 27:55-56; Mk 15:40-41) and some women who had been healed

of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene,

from whom seven demons had come out,

3 (Lk 24:10) and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna,

and many others, who supported Him with their possessions.



[1] And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and

village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and

the twelve were with him,

[2] And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and

infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

[3] And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many

others, which ministered unto him of their substance.



After wiping down tables with disinfectant, Shelia stooped to tie a garbage

bag filled with used cups and plates. She heaved the bag over her shoulder

and turned to survey the church's multipurpose room. She'd volunteered to

clean it for the next gathering and wanted to make sure it was ready.

A thought fluttered through her mind: Would anyone notice?



It's easy to wonder if our everyday contributions to the kingdom are valued.

Whether we clean, balance spreadsheets, lead a Bible study, or give money,

so many of us remain unseen in our places of service and unnamed in public

commendations.



In Luke 8:1-2, the historian catalogs the faithful service of women in the

ministry of Jesus. He lists three by name from among the women freed of evil

spirits and diseases: Mary of Magdalene; Joanna the wife of Chuza, who

managed Herod's household; and Susanna. Then Luke says,

"Many others . . . were helping to support [Jesus and His disciples] out of

their own means" (v. 3). Luke spotlights these unnamed women who invested

themselves in supporting the gospel, and so underlines their value.



Just as God includes unnamed women in His account of valuable contributions

to His kingdom, He sees our efforts. He knows our names (John 10:3),

and He sees our investment in His work (Hebrews 6:10).



Reflect & Pray



When have you felt overlooked and undervalued?

How does knowing that God included unnamed women

in His catalog of contributions encourage you?



Dear God, thank You that You see me, know me, and value all I give You.



God made you with a purpose. Learn more about

your worth in Jesus by watching this video.

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 4 - Arming for Battle



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.



When God spoke these words to Joshua, the young leader's prospects for

"prosperity" and "success" were far from promising. Upon Moses' death,

Joshua was appointed to lead Israel into the Promised Land, to claim

the territory and establish a nation under God's rule.

Joshua was afraid, and for good reason. The people were rebellious

and intractable. And "claiming the land" meant battling many strong enemies.

Yet God told Joshua that his strength would come not in preparing for battle,

but in preparing for battle, but in preparing himself by meditating

on and applying God's word to his life.

We, too, face difficult battles as we seek to enter the "Promised Land"

of God's peace and presence. But his promise is the same as it was to Joshua:

through obedience to the Word, we can find prosperity and success.

God's promise does not necessarily mean financial prosperity

or material success. These victories may come as well, but God's primary

purpose for his people is spiritual success - the victory and joy of living

in fellowship with him. We can be enriched in the knowledge of God and

find power to overcome the enemies of sin and self. The way may not be easy

- after all, there is no victory without conflict - but God promises

that we will succeed as we look to him.



Application



a) What image do I have a personal "Promised Land" that I long

to enter and claim as my own?



b) What enemies will I need to battle in order to enter that land?



c) How can meditation on the Word of God and obedience to him bring me

prosperity and success?
