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



Ontario



Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario



Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000



est Muslim Population 1 001 542



CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,

Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor



Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that

the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most

Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching

from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly

resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques

are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools

are starting.

And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their

advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,

the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour

brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of

"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of

receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town

reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.

Agree in prayer for:



- net network leaders - the need is great

- the development of network leadership teams

- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals

whom God is calling into this ministry.

- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising

believers

- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas

- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love

towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.

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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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, ...) .

Imitating God's Forgiveness

by Sheridan Voysey



Ephesians 4:25-32



Rules for the New Life



25 (Col 3:9; Zec 8:16; Ro 12:5) Therefore, putting away lying, let every man

speak truthfully with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

26 (Ps 37:8; 4:4) Be angry but do not sin.

Do not let the sun go down on your anger.

27 (Jas 4:7) Do not give place to the devil.

28 (Ex 20:15; 1Th 4:11-12) Let him who steals steal no more. Instead,

let him labour, working with his hands things which are good,

that he may have something to share with him who is in need.

29 (Col 4:6) Let no unwholesome word proceed out of your mouth,

but only that which is good for building up, that it may give grace

to the listeners.

30 (1Th 5:19; Isa 63:10; Ro 8:23) And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,

in whom you are sealed for the day of redemption.

31 (Col 3:8; Ecc 7:9; Col 3:19) Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outbursts,

and blasphemies, with all malice, be taken away from you.

32 (2Co 2:10; Col 3:12-13; Mt 6:12) And be kind one to another,

tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ

also forgave you.



[25] Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour:

for we are members one of another.

[26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

[27] Neither give place to the devil.

[28] Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working

with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that

needeth.

[29] Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which

is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

[30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the

day of redemption.

[31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil

speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

[32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.



I used to work with a woman named Madge, who was an amazing cook. "You should

taste my pea and ham soup!" she said one day. After replying that I really

didn't like peas, Madge smiled and said, "You will after you try my soup."

The next day she handed me a container of her soup, made especially for me.



"Did you try my soup?" Madge asked me a couple of days later. "I will-soon!"

I said, hoping she wouldn't ask me again. But she did - the next day, and the

next. “Don't leave it too long or it'll spoil," she added on the fourth day.



A week later, Madge's uneaten soup had spoiled, and I threw it away. I felt

dread as she approached me. "You did try my soup, didn’t you?" she asked.



"Yes," I said. "It was . . . delicious."



In Ephesians 4, Paul calls us to deal with speech-related sins like angry

words (v. 26), unwholesome talk (v. 29), and slander (v. 31). But before these

comes a more basic call to "speak truthfully to your neighbour" (v. 25).

I had looked at Madge and told her a lie. I knew what I needed to do.



I walked into Madge's office, confessed my lie, and sheepishly asked for her

forgiveness. Madge walked to me and gave me a hug. "Of course I forgive you,"

she said. "How could I not, when I know how much God's forgiven me?"



Reflect & Pray



How many sinful words or actions has God forgiven you for?

How can that reminder help you forgive someone today,

with the Holy Spirit's strength?



Forgiving God, please enable me to forgive others.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 7 Break up Your Fallow Ground



Hosea 10:12



12 Sow to yourselves righteousness, reap mercy,

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

until He comes and rains righteousness upon you.



12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy;

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

till he come and rain righteousness upon you.



When a farmer prepares to plant his crop, a great deal of preparation

is necessary before the seen can be sown. He has to plow up the ground,

turning under the stubble from the previous harvest, harrow the field to

break up the clods, and fertilise- readying the soil for optimum growth.

A fallow field, one that was not planted the previous season, must be

broken and worked so that the seed can find root in the ground.

The Bible likens spiritual growth to raising crops. God is the one

who brings rain and gives growth, but the success or failure

of the seed - both in initial salvation and in ongoing maturity -

is often linked to how well the soil has been prepared.

That preparation isn't always a pleasant or rewarding process.

We may resist the plowing or harrowing that comes through

the Holy Spirit's conviction of sin. We may need to dig up boulders

of bitterness and thistles of anger; we may have to plow under the

stubble of the last crop of lessons, working that mulch deep into our lives.

But the final outcome is worth the effort - even the pain - that

preparation brings. Broken up, harrowed, readied for the seed of God's Word,

we are rich and fertile ground, and the seed of righteousness produces

an abundant crop in us.



Application



a) In what ways have I been "broken up" and "harrowed" by the Holy

Spirit to prepare me for God's work in me?



b) How can I apply these verses to myself? How can I

"sow in righteousness," "reap in mercy," "break up my fallow ground"?



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

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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:

121 I have done what is right and just;

do not abandon me to my oppressors.

122 Be true to Your servant for good;

let not the proud ones oppress me.

123 My eyes long for Your deliverance

and for the promise of Your righteousness.

124 Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,

and teach me Your statutes.

125 I am Your servant; grant me understanding,

that I may know Your testimonies.

126 It is time for You, O Lord, to act,

above gold, even fine gold.

128 For I follow all Your precepts to be right,

and I hate every false way.



[121] I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

[122] Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

[123] Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy

righteousness.

[124] Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy

statutes.

[125] I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy

testimonies.

[126] It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.

[127] Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

[128] Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right;

and I hate every false way.



Pe

so I will keep Your precepts.

135 Make Your face to shine upon Your servant,

and teach me Your statutes.

136 Rivers of waters run down my eyes,

because people do not keep Your law.



[129] Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

[130] The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto

the simple.

[131] I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

[132] Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto

those that love thy name.

over me.

[134] Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

[136] Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.



Tsadhe

137 You are righteous, O Lord,

and upright are Your judgments.

138 You have set Your testimonies in righteousness

and faithfulness.

139 My zeal has consumed me,

because my enemies have forgotten Your words.

140 Your word is pure and true;

therefore Your servant loves it.

141 I am small and despised,

yet I do not forget Your precepts.

142 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

and Your law is true.

143 Trouble and anguish have discovered me,

but Your commandments are my delight.

144 The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting;

grant me understanding, and I shall live.



[137] Righteous art thou, O LORD, and upright are thy judgments.

[138] Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very

faithful.

[139] My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy

words.

[140] Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

[141] I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

[142] Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the

truth.

[143] Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my

delights.

[144] The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me

understanding, and I shall live.

and You know me completely.

yet in Your book

all my days were written,

before any of them came into being.

Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought

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.



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



Ontario



Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario



Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000



est Muslim Population 1 001 542



CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,

Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor



Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that

the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most

Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching

from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly

resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques

are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools

are starting.

And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their

advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,

the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour

brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of

"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of

receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town

reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.

Agree in prayer for:



- net network leaders - the need is great

- the development of network leadership teams

- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals

whom God is calling into this ministry.

- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising

believers

- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas

- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love

towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.



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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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

A Psalm of Solomon.

1 Give the king Your judgments, O God,

and Your righteousness to the king's son.

2 May he judge Your people with righteousness,

and Your poor with justice.

3 May the mountains bring well-being to the people,

and the hills, in righteousness.

4 May he judge the poor of the people,

may he save the children of the needy,

and crush the oppressor.

5 May they fear You as long as the sun endures,

and the moon, throughout all generations.

6 May he descend like rain on the mown grass,

as showers dripping on the earth.

7 In his days may the righteous flourish,

and abundance of peace until the moon is no more.

8 May he have dominion from sea to sea,

and from the River to the ends of the earth.

9 May those who dwell in the wilderness bow before him,

and his enemies lick the dust.

10 May the kings of Tarshish and of the isles

bring presents;

the kings of Sheba and Seba offer a gift.

11 May all kings bow down before him;

may all nations serve him.

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.

15 May he live long,

and may one give him the gold of Sheba;

and pray for him continually;

and all day long may he be blessed.

16 May there be abundance of grain in the earth

on the top of the mountains;

may its fruit shake like Lebanon;

and may those from the city flourish like grass of the earth.

17 May his name endure forever;

may his name increase as long as the sun.

May men be blessed in him;

may all nations call him blessed!

18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel,

who alone does wondrous deeds.

19 Blessed be His glorious name forever;

and may the whole earth be filled with His glory.

Amen, and Amen.

Psalm 72

[1] Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's

son.

[2] He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

[3] The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by

righteousness.

[4] He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the

needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

the earth.

as the moon endureth.

ends of the earth.

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.

[15] And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba:

prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be

praised.

[16] There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the

mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city

shall flourish like grass of the earth.

[17] His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as

the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him

blessed.

[18] Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous

things.

[19] And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be

filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

2) Our Daily Bread for 29 May 2026 titled

Waiting on God by Nancy Gavilanes



Psalm 27:7-14



7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!

Be gracious to me and answer me.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) When You said, "Seek My face,

my heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek."

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Do not hide Your face far from me;

do not thrust Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help.

Do not leave me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) If my father and my mother forsake me,

then the Lord will take me in.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Teach me Your way, O Lord,

and lead me in an upright path,

because of my enemies.

12 Do not deliver me to the will of my enemies;

for false witnesses have risen against me,

and they breathe out violence.

13 I believe

I will see the goodness of the Lord

in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord;

be strong, and may your heart be stout;

wait on the Lord.



[7] Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and

answer me.

[8] When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face,

LORD, will I seek.

[9] Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou

hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

[10] When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

[11] Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine

enemies.

[12] Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses

are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

[13] I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in

the land of the living.

[14] Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine

heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.



As a little girl, I got so excited when I'd see special signs appear on the

side of the road. I thought colorful signs meant my family had arrived at the

popular amusement park we were driving to. I'd joyfully start gathering my

things, only to be disappointed to see more signs and have to wait even longer

before we reached the park. Eventually I realised those signs announced that

visitors were getting closer but were still miles away.



Like an excited child wondering "are we there yet?" we can also be impatient

and anxious to arrive at our next destination.



Waiting for God to move in our lives, or to rescue us from our trials, can be

challenging. David was facing much adversity, which he mentions throughout

Psalm 27. Yet he still placed his hope and trust in God and waited for Him to

respond. David didn't know how long it would take for God to act, but he knew

God would help him. "I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of

the Lord in the land of the living" (v. 13).



It may take longer than we’d like to experience our breakthrough, but let's

take courage in these words: "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and

wait for the Lord" (v. 14). As we turn to the Psalms and the rest of Scripture

for encouragement, we can take comfort in knowing God is working even while

we wait.



Reflect & Pray



Why is it hard sometimes to wait for God's answer?

How can you remain hopeful as you wait?



Dear God, thank You that You're working even while I wait.

Watch more about waiting for God.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 6 God Works!



Phil 2:12-13



12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence,

but so much more in my absence, work out your own salvation

with fear and trembling.

13 For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure.



12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence

only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation

with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will

and to do of his good pleasure.



"I just can't do it!" Marlys, a career woman in her 30s, was struggling to fit

her new Christian principles into the business world. Accustomed to the

cutthroat tactics of the corporate hierarchy, she has a hard time knowing

Jesus' examples of grace and mercy applied.

Marlys was right. She couldn't do it. In our own strength, none of us is able

to "live the Christian life." Someone has said, " The Christian life isn't

difficult -- it's impossible!" Only the power of the Holy Spirit is

effective to work the needed changes in our priorities and behaviour;

only God can accomplish what he calls us to do.

In Phillippians 2:12, Paul says "work it out." If we stop there,

we are likely to throw up our hands in despair.

But the good news appears in verse 13:

" For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure."

WE are not left on our own to figure out how to live the Christian life.

God gives us both the will and the ability to obey him, to live in a way

that will please him.

The key to a God-pleasing life is not performance, but obedience. God does not

expect us to "do great things" for him, to deserve his love and grace.

Our part in the process of salvation is to respond in obedience to the Lord,

to say "yes" to what he asks of us. We cannot change ourselves;

we cannot even know ourselves apart from the Spirit's insight. But

as we cooperate with him, as we agree to be obedient, the Spirit changes us

within, and those changes are "worked out" into our lives.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to "Live the Christian life" on my own strength?

What was the result?



b) In what practical ways is Paul's declaration that "God works in me"

good new in my life?

1 Kings 3:16-28



The Wisdom of Solomon



16 (Nu 27:2) At that time, two women who were prostitutes came

and stood before the king.

17 The first woman said, "O my lord, this woman and I live in the same house,

and I bore a child with her in the house.

18 Three days after I gave birth, she also had a child, and we were together.

There was no one else with us in the house, only the two of us were

in the house.

19 "Then this woman's child died during the night

because she rolled over on it.

20 She got up at midnight and took my son from beside me while your servant

slept and laid him at her bosom and laid her dead child at my bosom.

21 When I rose in the morning to feed my child, it was dead.

But when I looked closely in the morning light, I recognized

that it was not my son whom I bore."

22 The other woman said, "No, the living is my son, and the dead is your son."

And she said, "No, the dead is your son, and the living is my son."

Thus they spoke before the king.

23 Then the king said, "One says, 'This is my son who lives, and your son

is the dead,' and the other says, 'No, but your son is dead,

and my son is the living.' "

24 So the king said, "Bring me a sword." And they brought a sword

before the king.

25 The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one

and half to the other."

26 (Ge 43:30; Isa 49:15) Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke

to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son, and she said,

"O my lord, give her the living child, and do not kill it."

But the other said, "Let it be neither mine nor yours and divide it."

27 Then the king answered and said, "Give her the living child,

and do not slay it. She is its mother."

28 (Col 2:3; Ezr 7:25) All Israel heard of the king's judgment,

and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God

was in him, to execute sound judgment.



16 Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king,

and stood before him.

17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house;

and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.

18 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this

woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with

us in the house, save we two in the house.

19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.

20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine

handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead:

but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son,

which I did bear.

22 And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead

is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living

is my son. Thus they spake before the king.

23 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son

is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is

the living.

24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the

king.

25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the

one, and half to the other.

26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her

bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living

child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor

thine, but divide it.

27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child,

and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they

feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do

judgment.

The Wealth of Solomon



20 (Ge 22:17; 1Ki 3:8) Judah and Israel had a large populace, as numerous

as the sand by the sea. They ate and drank and were happy.

21 (Ge 15:18; Jos 1:4) Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the River

(Euphrates River.) to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt.

The people brought presents and served Solomon all the days of his life.

22 Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors

[Likely about 51/2 tons, or 5 metric tons.] of fine flour and sixty kors

[Likely about 11 tons, or 10 metric tons.] of meal,

2 3ten fat oxen and twenty pasture-fed cattle, a hundred sheep in addition

to deer, roebucks, gazelle, and fatted poultry.

24 (1Ch 22:9; Ps 72:11) For he had dominion over all the region on this side

of the River [Euphrates River.] from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings

on this side of the River,[Euphrates River. ] and he had peace on all borders

of his land.

25 (Mic 4:4; Zec 3:10) Judah and Israel lived safely, every man under his vine

and under his fig tree, from Dan to Beersheba all the days of Solomon.

26 (2Ch 1:14; 9:25) Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses

for his chariots and twelve thousand horsemen.

27 Those officers made provision for King Solomon and for all who came

to King Solomon's table, every man in his month, and they lacked nothing.

28 (Est 8:10; 8:14) Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries

were brought to the place where the officers were, every man according

to his charge.

29 (1Ki 3:12; 4:20) God gave Solomon wisdom and great depth of understanding

as well as compassion, as vast as the sand on the seashore.

30 (Ac 7:22; Ge 25:6) Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the people

of the East country and all the wisdom of Egypt.

31 (1Ki 3:12; 1Ch 2:6) For he was wiser than all other men, wiser than

Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Kalkol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol;

his fame spread throughout all the surrounding nations.

32 (Ecc 12:9) He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs numbered

a thousand and five.

33 He spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon to the hyssop

that springs out of the wall. He also spoke of beasts and

of fowl and of insects and fish.

34 (1Ki 10:1; 2Ch 9:23) People from all over came to hear the wisdom

of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.



1 Kings 4



His Princes



1 So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

2 And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok

the priest,

3 Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes;

Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

4 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host:

and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:

5 and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers:

and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:

6 and Ahishar was over the household:

and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.

7 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals

for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.

8 And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:

9 the son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh,

and Elon-beth-hanan:

10 the son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh,

and all the land of Hepher:

11 the son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath

the daughter of Solomon to wife:

12 Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo,

and all Beth-shean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean

to Abel-meholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam:

13 the son of Geber, in Ramoth-gilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair

the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region

of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls

and brasen bars:

14 Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:

15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter

of Solomon to wife:

16 Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:

17 Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:

18 Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:

19 Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of

Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan;

and he was the only officer which was in the land.

20 Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea

in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

21 And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the

land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt:

they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

22 And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour,

and threescore measures of meal,

23 ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep,

beside harts, and roebucks, and fallow deer, and fatted fowl.

24 For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from

Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he

had peace on all sides round about him.

25 And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under

his fig tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

26 And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots,

and twelve thousand horsemen.

27 And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that

came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.

28 Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto

the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.

29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness

of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east

country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

31 For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman,

and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations

round about.

32 And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were

a thousand and five.

33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto

the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts,

and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

34 And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon,

from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

Solomon Seeks Wisdom



1 (1Ch 29:25; 1Ki 2:12) Now Solomon the son of David strengthened himself

over his kingdom, and the Lord his God was with him and made Solomon

exceedingly great.



1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom,

and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.



1 Kings 3:1-4



1 Kings 3



Solomon Asks for Wisdom

2Ch 1:2-13

1 (1Ki 9:24; 2Sa 5:7) Solomon made a treaty with Pharaoh king of Egypt.

He married Pharaoh's daughter and brought her to the City of David

until he finished building his palace, the house of the Lord,

and the wall around Jerusalem.

2 (1Ki 22:43; Dt 12:2-5) The people were sacrificing at the high places,

because no house had yet been built for the name of the Lord.

3 (Dt 6:5; Ps 31:23) Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his

father David, though he sacrificed and burned incense at the high places.

4 (1Ch 16:39; 21:29) The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was

the great high place, and he offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.



Marriage to Pharaoh's Daughter

1 And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's

daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an

end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall

of Jerusalem round about.

2 Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house

built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.

3 And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father:

only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

4 And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great

high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.



2 Chronicles 1:2-6



2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands

and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel,

the heads of fathers' houses.

3 Then they all went, Solomon and all the assembly that was with him,

to the high place that was at Gibeon, because the tent of meeting with God,

which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there.

4 However, David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim

to the place he had prepared, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.

5 And the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur,

had made was set before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon

and the assembly sought it out to seek the Lord.

6 And Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was before

the tent of meeting, and he offered up a thousand burnt offerings on it.



2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of

hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief

of the fathers.

3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place

that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God,

which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place

which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it

at Jerusalem.

5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur,

had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the

congregation sought unto it. 6And Solomon went up thither to the brasen

altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation,

and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it.



1 Kings 3:5-15



5 (1Ki 9:2; Nu 12:6; Mt 1:20) While he was in Gibeon, the Lord appeared

to Solomon in a dream at night, and He said, "Ask what you want from Me."

6 (1Ki 1:48; 9:4) Solomon answered, "You have shown great mercy

to your servant David my father, because he walked before You in faithfulness,

righteousness, and uprightness of heart toward You. And You have shown him

great kindness in giving him a son to sit on his throne this day.

7 (Nu 27:17; 1Ch 29:1) "Now, O Lord, my God, You have made Your servant king

in place of my father David, and I am still a little child and do not know how

to go out or come in.

8 (Ge 15:5; 13:16) And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom

You have chosen, a great people, so numerous that they cannot be numbered

or counted.

9 (2Sa 14:17; Ps 72:1-2) Give Your servant therefore an understanding heart

to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and bad, for who is

able to judge among so great a people?"

10 It pleased the Lord that Solomon had asked this.

11 God said to him,"Because you have asked this and have not asked

for yourself long life or riches or the lives of your enemies, but have asked

for yourself wisdom so that you may have discernment in judging,

12 (1Ki 5:12; Ecc 1:16) I now do according to your words. I have given you

a wise and an understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone

like you in the past, and there shall never arise another like you.

13 (1Ki 4:21-24; Pr 3:16) I have also given you what you have not asked,

both riches and honor, so that no kings will compare to you all of your days.

14 (Ps 91:16; Pr 3:2) If you will walk in My ways, keeping My statutes

and My commandments as your father David did, then I will lengthen your days."

15 (Ge 41:7; 1Ki 8:65) Solomon awoke and found it was a dream.

Then he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant

of the Lord and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings and made

a feast for all of his servants.



Solomon's Choice of Wisdom



5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said,

Ask what I shall give thee.

6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great

mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness,

and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this

great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne,

as it is this day.

7 And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David

my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen,

a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people,

that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this

thy so great a people?

10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not

asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself,

nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself

understanding to discern judgment;

12 behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise

and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee,

neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches,

and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee

all thy days.

14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments,

as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.

15 And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem,

and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt

offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.



2 Chronicles 1:7-13



7 That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him,

"Ask what I might give to you."

8 Then Solomon said to God, "You have given a great mercy to David my father

and have made me king in his place.

9 Now, Lord God, may Your word to David my father be confirmed,

for You have made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.

10 Now give wisdom and knowledge to me so that I might know how to go

before this people, for who can judge this great people of Yours?"

11 Then God responded to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart

and you did not ask for possessions, wealth, and honor,

or even the life of those who hate you, nor have you asked for many days

of life, but you have asked Me for wisdom and knowledge that you might govern

My people over whom I have made you king,

12 wisdom and knowledge are now given to you. Possessions, wealth, and honor

I will also give to you; such has not been given to kings before you nor those

who will follow after you."

13 So Solomon came from the high place at Gibeon, before the tent of meeting,

to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.



7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him,

Ask what I shall give thee.

8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David

my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established:

for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in

multitude.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before

this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?

11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast

not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither

yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself,

that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

12 wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches,

and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been

before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon

to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation,

and reigned over Israel.



2 Chron 1



14 Solomon gathered together chariots and horses. He had 1400 chariots

and 1200 horses, and he put them in designated cities and with the king

in Jerusalem.

15 The king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as abundant as stones

and cedar as plentiful as sycamore trees in the lowlands of the Shephelah.

16 The horses of Solomon were imported from Egypt and Kue,

and the traders of the king would take them from Kue for a price.

17 They imported chariots from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver

and a horse for one hundred and fifty pieces. And they imported

from these places to all the kings of the Hittites and Arameans.



14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand

and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen,

which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones,

and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale

for abundance.

16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn:

the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot

for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty:

and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites,

and for the kings of Syria, by their means.

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



Ontario



Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario



Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000



est Muslim Population 1 001 542



CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,

Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor



Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that

the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most

Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching

from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly

resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques

are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools

are starting.

And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their

advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,

the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour

brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of

"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of

receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town

reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.

Agree in prayer for:



- net network leaders - the need is great

- the development of network leadership teams

- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals

whom God is calling into this ministry.

- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising

believers

- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas

- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love

towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.



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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 5 Called by Name



Isaiah 43:1



1 But now, thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob,

and He who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name; you are Mine.



1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob,

and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:

for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.



Eric, age 4, somehow lost his mother in a large and busy department store.

Found sobbing under a coat rack, the boy tried to tell the security guard

where he was when he got separated from his mother. Finally the guard said,

"what's your name, Son? Who do you belong to?"

The child brightened a bit, gave the guard his name, and within minutes

the frantic mother was reunited with her lost son.

One of the first questions we are asked, both as children and adults, is

"What is your name?" - that is, "Who are you? Who do you belong to?"

Children bear the name of their parents, and most women,

except for professional reasons,

take the name of their husbands when they marry.

Our names are our primary method of identification;

they connect us with our heritage and those we love.

In Isaiah 43:1, God declares that we belong to him.

The Lord who created us and formed us says,

"I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine." God's

right of ownership in our lives extends beyond the bond of family and friends,

of parent, child, or spouse. We belong first to him;

we are called by him into oneness with him.

The Scripture is filled with images of the Lord's care for us;

when we are lost, he does

not wait for us to find him,

but takes the initiative, like a loving parent

to seek us out. That declaration of belonging can give us

a strong sense of security in our lives. God loves us;

he will never let us go.

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;

He also will hear their cry and will save them.

20 The Lord preserves all those who love Him,

but all the wicked He will destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,

and let all people bless His holy name

forever and ever.



13 And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall,

And raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee;

And thou givest them their meat in due season.

16 Thou openest thine hand,

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.

2) Our Daily Bread for 28 May 2024 titled

It Was Me by Tim Gustafson



Leviticus 26:40-45



40 (1Ki 8:33-36; Pr 28:13) But if they confess their iniquity,

and the iniquity of their fathers, with their treachery that

they committed against Me, and also that they have walked contrary to Me,

41 (Eze 44:7; Ac 7:51) and that I also have walked contrary to them

and have brought them into the land of their enemies;

if then their uncircumcised hearts are humbled,

and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity,

42 (Ex 2:24; 6:5) then will I remember My covenant with Jacob,

and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham,

and I will remember the land.

43 (Lev 26:15) But the land shall be abandoned by them, and enjoy

its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. They shall make amends

for their iniquity, because they despised My

and because they abhorred My statutes.

44 (Ro 11:2; 2Ki 13:23) Yet for all that, when they are in the land of

their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor will I abhor them

to destroy them utterly and to break My covenant with them,

for I am the Lord their God.

45 (Lev 22:33; 25:38) But for their sake I will remember the covenant

with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight

of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.



[40] If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their

fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also

they have walked contrary unto me;

[41] And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them

into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be

humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

[42] Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with

Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will

remember the land.

[43] The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths,

while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the

punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my

judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

[44] And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will

not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and

to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.

[45] But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors,

whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen,

that I might be their God: I am the LORD.



In an old movie comedy, a bumbling but brilliant programmer is chosen for the

first manned mission to Mars. Constantly making foolish mistakes, the

programmer has a habit of blurting out, "It wasn't me!" When the crew lands on

Mars, the programmer slips from the top of the ladder and falls to the

planet's surface - just before his partner sets foot on it. The first words

spoken on Mars are, "It wasn't me!"



It's a farcical story, but that programmer's phrase is hauntingly realistic.

Whenever there's blame to go around, our response can sound a lot like,

"It wasn't me!"



God desires our obedience. But He also knows we're prone to disobey Him. In

Leviticus 26:1-13, God outlined His plan for Israel. If they obeyed His

commands, He said, "I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and

increase your numbers" (v. 9). But habitual disobedience would bring curses

and afflictions designed to bring the people to repentance. Then God said

that if disobedient Israel would "confess their sins and the sins of their

ancestors" (v. 40), He would remember His covenant with them.



The key to restoring relationship with God is our admission of what we've done

wrong. Blaming others keeps us trapped in the guilt cycle, powerless

to vindicate ourselves.



Feeling far from God? A good place to start is by saying, "It was me."



Reflect & Pray



What is your reflexive reaction when you might be to blame for something?

Think of a time when you've been truly honest with God. What did it look like?



Loving God, I want to be honest with You about _________.

[47] And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

[48] My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved;

and I will meditate in thy statutes.



Zayin

49 Remember Your word to Your servant,

on which You have caused me to hope.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction,

for Your word revives me.

51 The proud ones have derided me,

yet I have not forsaken Your law.

52 I remembered Your judgments of old, OLord,

and I have comforted myself.

53 Fury has taken hold of me because of the wicked

who forsake Your law.

54 Your statutes have been my songs

in the house of my temporary dwelling.

55 I have remembered Your name, O Lord, in the night,

and have kept Your law.

56 This is my blessing,

because I have kept Your precepts.



[49] Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to

hope.

[50] This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

[51] The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from

thy law.

[52] I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

[53] Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy

law.

[54] Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

[55] I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy

law.

[56] This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

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



Ontario



Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario



Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000



est Muslim Population 1 001 542



CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,

Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor



Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that

the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most

Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching

from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly

resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques

are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools

are starting.

And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their

advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,

the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour

brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of

"reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of

receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town

reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.

Agree in prayer for:



- net network leaders - the need is great

- the development of network leadership teams

- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals

whom God is calling into this ministry.

- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising

believers

- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas

- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love

towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.



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!



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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, ...) .

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



God's Generous Provision



Matthew 6:24-34



God and Money



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

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

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

You cannot serve God and money."



Care and Anxiety



Lk 12:22-34



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

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

or what you will drink, nor about your body,

what you will put on. Is not life more than

and the body than clothing?

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

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

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

27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit

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

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

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:

They neither work, nor do they spin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.

Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.



True Wisdom



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

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

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

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

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

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

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

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

better than they?

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

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

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

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

like one of these.

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

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

O ye of little faith?

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

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

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek

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

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,

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

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:

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

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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