Step 1: Generate a Private Key







openssl genrsa -des3 (-aes256) -out server.key 1024 (4096)(8192)



Post quantum



openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out server.key



or



openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA \

-pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:3072 (4096) \

-aes256 \

-out server.key



Check TLS1.3 for updates







Step 2: Generate a CSR (Certificate Signing Request)







openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr







Step 3: Remove Passphrase from Key







cp server.key server.key.org



openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key



Post quantum



openssl pkey -in server.key.org -out server.key



The newly created server.key file has no more passphrase in it.







-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 745 Jun 29 12:19 server.csr



-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 891 Jun 29 13:22 server.key



-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 963 Jun 29 13:22 server.key.org











Step 4: Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

Understanding Post-Quantum Cryptography and CSR Key Sizes

The process of generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and associated key material has long relied on public-key algorithms such as RSA. In the original post you focused on generating a 1024-bit RSA CSR, which was once considered secure — but the security landscape has changed significantly.

Today, 1024-bit RSA is no longer considered secure for modern HTTPS, code signing, or other PKI use cases. It is vulnerable to classical attacks, and — crucially — even larger key sizes like 2048 or 3072 bits will become vulnerable once sufficiently large quantum computers are built.

Why 1024-bit RSA Is Insecure Today

• Modern classical factoring algorithms (e.g., general number field sieve) can factor 1024-bit RSA in feasible time for well-funded attackers.



• Most Certificate Authorities (CAs) today reject CSRs with RSA keys smaller than 2048 bits.



• Guardian projects (e.g., EFF’s TLS Observatory) report negligible deployment of 1024-bit RSA in secure configurations.

Why Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)?

Most public-key cryptography in use — including RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECDSA/Ed25519) — is vulnerable to large quantum computers.

A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm would break RSA and ECC by factoring or solving discrete log problems efficiently.

To address this, NIST has standardized a set of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that are believed to be secure against both classical and quantum attacks. These algorithms combine with existing standards to form hybrid key schemes for transition.

Current Best Practices for CSRs

• Do not generate 1024-bit RSA keys — they are insecure today.



• Use at least RSA 3072 if you must use RSA for compatibility.



• Prefer modern schemes such as ECC (e.g., ECDSA P-256, Ed25519) for classical security.



• Consider hybrid keys combining classical + post-quantum algorithms (if supported by your CA or software).



• Follow NIST recommendations for transitioning to post-quantum algorithms. See NIST SP 800-208 and NIST PQC project outputs.

Example: Post-Quantum-Aware CSR Generation

The following command generates a more secure key and CSR using Ed25519 (modern elliptic curve key):

# generate an Ed25519 private key


openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out client_ed25519.key





# create CSR with the new key


openssl req -new \


  -key client_ed25519.key \


  -out client_ed25519.csr \


  -subj "/C=CA/ST=YourState/L=YourCity/O=YourOrg/CN=your.domain"

For hybrid classical + PQC (once supported), you would generate both key types and submit a combined CSR or use CA tooling that supports PQC extensions.

About Post-Quantum Standards

• NIST PQC Standardization: NIST has finalized several post-quantum key-establishment and signature schemes such as CRYSTALS-Kyber (KEM) and CRYSTALS-Dilithium (signatures).



• These schemes are being integrated into TLS, code signing, SSH, and other protocols via hybrid modes.



• Major software stacks (OpenSSL, BoringSSL, OpenSSH) are gradually adding PQC support.

Bottom line: if you are generating CSRs today for real-world use, avoid 1024-bit RSA entirely and plan your migration path toward post-quantum resilient key material.

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



http://www.ehc.ca



1st Day of the month



1) Pray for an outpouring of God's Holy Spirit on Canada



(

Joel 2:28 And it will be that, afterwards,

I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream

dreams, and your young men will see visions.



28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon

all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men

shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:



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

that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall

prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream

dreams.



17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,

I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:

And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

And your young men shall see visions,

And your old men shall dream dreams:



)



2) Pray that the heart of our Prime Minister

would be directed to do that which pleases God



(Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord,

as the rivers of water; He turns it to any place He will.



1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD,

As the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.



)



Eight) Day 7 - New seasons begin when God declares "now."



Scripture: Mark 1:15



15 (Gal 4:4; Ac 20:21; Eph 1:10) saying, "The time is fulfilled,

and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel."



[15] And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:

repent ye, and believe the gospel.



---



When Jesus steps onto the scene in Mark 1, His first public words are

a declaration: "The time is fulfilled." In other words, now. God's

long-promised moment has arrived. A new season is breaking in - but it

requires a response. "Repent and believe."



In the Kingdom of God, new seasons do not begin simply because time passes.

They begin when God declares now and when His people make room for what He

wants to do. Repentance, in this sense, is not just turning away from sin;

it is a re-orientation of the heart. It is surrendering old ways of thinking,

old attachments, old controls that no longer belong in the new season God is

unfolding.



Before seeds are planted, the ground must be prepared. Stones removed. Weeds

uprooted. Soil turned over. Consecration is God's invitation to let Him work

beneath the surface - to expose what crowds our hearts and competes with our

trust. Surrender creates space. It clears the ground so something new can

take root and grow.



Fasting and prayer help us notice what we've been holding onto - habits,

fears, ambitions, comforts, even good things—that quietly resist God's work in

our life. Jesus' call to believe follows repentance because faith flourishes

best in surrendered soil. Where control loosens, trust deepens.



If God is declaring now over your life, the question is not whether He is

ready - but whether the ground is.



---



Listening Prayer:



"Holy Spirit ...



- What could I surrender to make space for God's new work?"



- Where might I be clinging to the old season,

even as God is inviting me to step into now?"



Prayer Items:



Please pray for the leadership of Calvary...



A. Unified Discernment and Spiritual Clarity.



Pray that the elders would be deeply aligned with the Holy Spirit - hearing

God clearly, responding faithfully, and walking in unity as they discern

His direction for Calvary in this season (Acts 13:2).



2 (Ac 9:15; 2Ti 1:11) As they worshipped the Lord and fasted,

the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work

to which I have called them."

[2] As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,

Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them



B. Godly Wisdom and Courageous Leadership



Ask God to grant wisdom that is both biblical and practical, along with the

courage to lead decisively, even when choices are costly, countercultural,

or require long-term faith over short-term comfort (James 1:5).



5 (Pr 2:3-6; Jn 15:7) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,

who gives to all men liberally and without criticism,

and it will be given to him.



[5] If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men

liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.



C. Protection, Integrity, and Spiritual Health



Pray for spiritual covering over each elder and their families - protection

from discouragement, division, temptation, and fatigue - and for lives marked

by humility, holiness, and integrity (1 Peter 5:2–3).



2 (1Ti 3:8; 3:3) Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, take care

of them, not by constraint, but willingly, not for dishonest gain,

but eagerly.

3 (Eze 34:4; Php 3:17) Do not lord over those in your charge,

but be examples to the flock.



[2] Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof,

not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

[3] Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the

flock.



D. Fruitfulness and Gospel Impact at Calvary



Pray that Calvary would bear lasting fruit - lives transformed, leaders raised

up, disciples made, and the community reached—through the elders' faithful

stewardship and obedience to God’s calling (John 15:16).



16 (Jn 13:18; 6:7) You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you,

that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain,

that the Father may give you whatever you ask Him in My name.



[16] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye

should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that

whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Numbers 15





37 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

38 (Dt 22:12; Mt 23:5) Speak to the children of Israel,

and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments

throughout the generations to come, and they will put a ribbon of blue on the

corners of their garments.

39 (Ps 73:27; Eze 6:9) And it will be for you a tassel, and you will see it,

and you will remember all the commandments of the Lord, and you will do them,

and you will not follow the lust of your own heart and your own eyes.

40 (Lev 11:44-45; Ro 12:1) So shall you remember and do all My commandments,

and be holy to your God.

41 (Lev 22:33) I am the Lord your God who brought you

out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.



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

[38] Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them

fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and

that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:

[39] And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and

remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not

after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:

[40] That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your

God.

[41] I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to

be your God: I am the LORD your God.



Psalm 90



1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place

in all generations.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Before the mountains were brought forth,

or You had formed the earth and the world,

even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) You return man to the dust

and say, "Return, you children of men."

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For a thousand years in Your sight

are but as yesterday when it is past,

or as a night watch in the night time.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You carry them away as with a flood;

they are as a dream, like renewed grass in the morning:

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) In the morning it flourishes and grows up;

in the evening it fades and withers.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) For we are consumed by Your anger,

and by Your wrath we are terrified.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) You have set our iniquities before You,

even our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For all our days pass away in your wrath;

we end our years with a groan.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The years of our life are seventy,

and if by reason of strength eighty;

yet their length is toil and sorrow,

for they soon end, and we fly away.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Who knows the power of Your anger?

Or Your wrath according to Your fear?

12 So teach us to number our days,

that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord, how long?

Have mercy on Your servants.

14 Satisfy us in the early morning with Your mercy,

that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

15 Make us glad according to the days that You have afflicted us,

and the years that we have seen evil.

16 Let Your work be displayed to Your servants

and Your glory to their children.

17 Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,

and establish the work of our hands among us;

yes, establish the work of our hands.



Psalm 90

[1] LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

[2] Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the

earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

[3] Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

[4] For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,

and as a watch in the night.

[5] Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the

morning they are like grass which groweth up.

[6] In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut

down, and withereth.

[7] For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

[8] Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light

of thy countenance.

[9] For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a

tale that is told.

[10] The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of

strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow;

for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

[11] Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is

thy wrath.

[12] So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto

wisdom.

[13] Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy

servants.

[14] O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all

our days.

[15] Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and

the years wherein we have seen evil.

[16] Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their

children.

[17] And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou

the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.



2) Our Daily Bread for 1 March 2026 Titled



Go and Tell of Jesus by Nancy Gavilanes



Romans 10:12-15



12 (Ro 3:22; 2:4) For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek,

for the same Lord over all is generous toward all who call upon Him.

13 (Ac 2:21; Joel 2:32) For, "Everyone who calls on the name

of the Lord shall be saved."(Joel 2:32.)

14 (Titus 1:3) How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not

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

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 (Isa 52:7; Na 1:15) And how shall they preach unless they are sent?

As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach

the gospel of peace, who bring good news of good things!"(Isa 52:7.)



[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same

Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

[14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how

shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they

hear without a preacher?

[15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How

beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring

glad tidings of good things!



As our bus traveled higher and higher on the narrow road along the Andes

Mountains, my teammates were busy laughing and singing. I was staring out my

window - aghast that there weren't any guardrails between us and the abyss to

our right. I was feeling a bit fearful and anxious as we kept going up and up

and up, and I started to wonder why our short-term mission team had come to

this remote part of Ecuador. Then it dawned on me: God must really love these

people if He would send His own Son to die for them. Surely I could get

through a scary bus ride to express that love with them.



It ended up being such a joy to do short Bible lessons, share our testimonies,

and pray with the people who welcomed us in the various towns we visited each

day.



The apostle Paul was committed to telling others about Jesus so they too could

put their trust in Him. In Romans 10:13 he says that all who call on Jesus

"will be saved." But "how can they believe in the one of whom they have not

heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can

anyone preach unless they are sent?" (Romans 10:14-15).



There are people all around us who don't know Christ. Let's ask God for the

courage to share the good news of Jesus with others, pray with them, and

invite them to a church service or activity.



Reflect & Pray



How can you share the message of Christ with those who don’t know Him?

What tangible things can you do this week to show someone that you care?



Dear God, please help me to share Jesus.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 1 - God's Perspective



Philippians 4:13



13 (2Co 12:9-10; Eph 3:16) I can do all things because

of Christ who strengthens me.



13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.



Many of us live out self-fulfilling prophecies. We believe

what we tell ourselves - or what we have been told by others:

"You're stupid", "You're ugly", "You'll never amount to anything,"

"You can't do anything right."

We programme ourselves for spiritual failure as well.

"I just can't memorise Scripture," we say. "It comes and goes,

and I can't seem to get it to stay." Yet daily we memorise

volumes of information that is less significant than the

Scriptures - telephone numbers, identification codes,

songs lyrics, advertising jingles.

The answer to the dilemma of negativism is not positive

thinking, but right thinking - biblical thinking, according

to what the Bible reveals of God's perspective. God says,

"You are worthwhile. You are valued. You are loved. I created you

just as you are, and whatever I call you to do,

I will give you the strength to do it.

The context of Phillipians 4:13 shows that Paul had learned

this important secret of spiritual strength. Paul had known

poverty and plenty, trouble and victory. But he also knew

he did not have to let circumstances determine his response to God's will.

We need not be controlled by the negative messages life throws in our paths

- even those self-defeating pronouncements we make to ourselves.

Rather, we can respond according to God's perspective, with the

conviction that God has given us strength we need to meet the

challenges we face.



Application



a) What challenges do I face that make me realise my own insufficiencies?

IS memorising Scripture one of those challenges for me?

Joshua 1:5



5 (Dt 7:24; 31:6-8) No man will be able to stand against you all the days

of your life. As I was with Moses, I will be with you. I will not

abandon you. I will not leave you.



5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy

nor forsake thee.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



1 Cor 10:1-13



1 Corinthians 10



Warning Against Idolatry



1 (Ex 14:29; Ps 66:6) I would not want you to be unaware that

all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 (Ex 16:35; Dt 8:3) all ate the same spiritual food;

4 (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11) and all drank the same spiritual drink,

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,

and that Rock was Christ.

5 (Heb 3:17; Jude 1:5) But with many of them God was not well pleased,

and they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 (Nu 11:4; 1Co 10:11) Now these things were our examples to the intent

that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.

7 (Ex 32:19; 32:4) Neither be idolaters as were some of them.

As it is written,

"The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to revel." (Ex 32:6. )

8 (Nu 25:1-9; 1Co 6:18) Neither let us commit sexual immorality as some

of them committed, when 23000 fell in one day.

9 (Nu 21:5-6; Ex 17:2) Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them

also tempted and were destroyed by serpents.

10 (Ex 12:23; Nu 16:41) Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured

and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 (Ro 13:11) Now all these things happened to them for examples.

They are written as an admonition to us,

upon whom the end of the ages has come.

12 (Ro 11:20) Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed,

lest he fall.

13 (1Co 1:9; 2Pe 2:9) No temptation has taken you except what is common

to man. God is faithful, and He will not permit you to be tempted above

what you can endure, but will with the temptation also make a way

to escape, that you may be able to bear it.



1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all

our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 and did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that

spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased:

for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust

after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written,

The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed,

and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted,

and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured,

and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:

and they are written for our admonition,

upon whom the ends of the world are come.

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:

but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted

above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also

make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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





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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

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

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

Pray for Iranians in Greece



Growing up in Iran, Layla had many unanswered questions about faith and

nothing to comfort her throughout the many difficult circumstances in her

life. She married, had a daughter, and moved to Iraq. Eventually, her husband

passed away and Layla and daughter struggled to survive.



Eventually, Layla lost her job and most of her possessions. Then she suffered

a series of heart attacks. In a panic, Layla cried out, "God, help me! My

daughter is all alone." Despite her lack of funds, she was taken to a hospital

where she received heart surgery from a kind Christian surgeon. Her surgery

was not only successful, but the doctor encouraged her, saying,

"God is healing your heart."



Layla remembers how a "strange warmth" came over her and she felt like she was

born again. That day, Layla believed, and made a covenant with God to serve

him for as long as she has breath.



Layla and her daughter travelled to Greece along the refugee highway where God

told her clearly, "Layla, I have work for you, and you must seek out those who

have lost their way, those who are homeless." God used her first to translate

Al Massira, a film based course which leads seekers on a journey through the

Old Testament prophets, culminating in an invitation to follow Jesus

the Messiah.

Layla now serves at a refugee centre, where people arrive hungry and

exhausted. She reaches out to them with God’s love and offers prayer. In

addition, she often invites them into her home where she cooks for them

and leads them through the Al Massira course. Many of these have found a new

home in Jesus.

NUMBERS 15



Laws of Grain and Drink Offerings

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Lev 23:10; Nu 15:18) Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:

When you come into the land of your dwelling, which I am giving to you,

3 (Ex 29:18; Ge 8:21; Nu 28:27) when you make an offering by fire

to the Lord, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow,

or as a freewill offering, or in your appointed feasts,

to make a pleasing aroma to the Lord, of the herd or of the flock,

4 (Ex 29:40; Lev 23:13) then he who brings his offering to the Lord

will bring a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah

(About 1,500 feet, or 450 meters.)

of flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin

(About 1 quart, or 1 liter; and in v. 5.) of oil.

5 (Nu 28:7; 28:14) One-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering

you will prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for each lamb.

6 Or for a ram, you will make a grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah

(Likely about 7 pounds, or 3.2 kilograms.) of flour mixed

with one-third of a hin (About 1 1/3 quarts, or 1.3 liters; and in v. 7.)

of oil. 7 As a drink offering you will offer one-third of a hin of wine,

as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

8 (Lev 3:1) When you prepare a bull as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice

in performing a vow, or as a peace offering to the Lord,

9 (Lev 6:14; 14:10) then shall be brought with the bull

a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah

(Likely about 11 pounds, or 5 kilograms.)

of flour mixed with one-half a hin

(About 2 quarts, or 1.9 liters; and in v. 10.)

of oil.

10 You will bring as a drink offering one-half a hin of wine,

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

11 (Thus it will be done for one herd animal, or for one ram,

or for a flock animal, whether from the sheep or from the goats.

12 According to the number that you will make,

so you will do for every one according to their number.

13 Every native Israelite will do these things in this manner,

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

14 (A foreigner who lives with you, or who resides among you

throughout your generations, and would present a fire offering,

a pleasing aroma to the Lord, shall do as you do.

15 (Nu 9:14; 15:29) One ordinance will be for you of the assembly

and for the foreigner who lives with you, an ordinance forever

throughout your generations. As you are, so will the foreigner

be before the Lord.

16 One law and one justice will be for you

and for the foreigner who lives with you.

17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

18 (Nu 15:2) Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:

When you come into the land where I bring you,

19 (Jos 5:11-12) then it will be, when you eat of the bread of the land

you will offer up an offering to the Lord.

20 (Lev 2:14; Ex 23:19) From the first of your dough you will offer

a cake as an offering. As you make the offering of the threshing floor,

so will you offer it.

21 Of the first of your dough you will give to the Lord an offering

throughout your generations.



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

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come

into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,

[3] And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a

sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn

feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:

[4] Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat

offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of

oil.

[5] And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou

prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

[6] Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of

flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.

[7] And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of

wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

[8] And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a

sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:

[9] Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals

of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.

[10] And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an

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

[11] Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb,

or a kid.

[12] According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every

one according to their number.

[13] All that are born of the country shall do these things after this

manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the

LORD.

[14] And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your

generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto

the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.

[15] One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for

the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your

generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.

[16] One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that

sojourneth with you.

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

[18] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into

the land whither I bring you,

[19] Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall

offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

[20] Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave

offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye

heave it.

[21] Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave

offering in your generations.



Laws About Unintentional Sins



22 (Lev 4:2) If you have erred and not observed all these commandments

which the Lord has spoken to Moses,

23 even all that the Lord has commanded you by the hand of Moses,

from the day that the Lord commanded Moses

and onward through your generations,

24 (Lev 4:23; Nu 28:15) then it will be, if it is committed by ignorance

without the knowledge of the assembly, that all the assembly will offer

one young bull as a burnt offering, as a pleasing aroma to the Lord,

with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the rule,

and one kid of the goats as a sin offering.

25 (Lev 4:20; Ro 3:25) The priest will make atonement for all the assembly

of the children of Israel, and it will be forgiven them

because it is ignorance, and they will bring their offering,

a sacrifice made by fire to the Lord, and their sin offering before the Lord,

for their ignorance.

26 And it will be forgiven all the assembly of the children of Israel

and the foreigner who lives among them,

because all the people were in ignorance.

27 (Lev 4:27-28) If a person sins unintentionally, then he will bring

a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

28 (Lev 4:35) The priest will make an atonement for the person who sins

unintentionally, when he sins by ignorance before the Lord, to make

an atonement for him; and it will be forgiven him.

29 (Nu 15:15) You shall have one law for the person who acts through

ignorance, for the natural-born citizen among the children of Israel

and foreigner who lives in your midst.



[22] And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which

the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

[23] Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from

the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your

generations;

[24] Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the

knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one

young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with

his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one

kid of the goats for a sin offering.

[25] And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the

children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and

they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and

their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:

[26] And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of

Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people

were in ignorance.

[27] And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat

of the first year for a sin offering.

[28] And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth

ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an

atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

[29] Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for

him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that

sojourneth among them.



Laws About Intentional Sins



30 (Dt 1:43; Ps 19:13) But the person who acts by a high hand,

the natural-born citizen or the foreigner, the same reviles the Lord,

and that person will be cut off from among his people.

31 (2Sa 12:9; Pr 13:13) Because he has despised the word of the Lord

and has broken His commandment, that person will be totally cut off.

His iniquity will be on him.



[30] But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the

land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be

cut off from among his people.

[31] Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his

commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon

him.



The Sabbath-Breaker Executed



32 (Ex 35:2-3) While the children of Israel were in the wilderness,

they found a man who gathered sticks on the Sabbath day.

33 The ones who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses

and Aaron and to all the assembly.

34 (Lev 24:12) They put him in confinement because it was not declared

what should be done to him.

35 (Ex 31:14-15; Ac 7:58) The Lord said to Moses, "The man will surely die.

All the assembly will stone him with stones outside the camp."

36 All the assembly brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones,

and he died as the Lord commanded Moses.



[32] And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a

man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

[33] And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and

Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

[34] And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be

done to him.

[35] And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all

the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

[36] And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him

with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Tassels on Garments

Moses Intercedes for the People



13 (Ps 106:23; Dt 32:27) Moses said to the Lord, "Then the Egyptians will

hear of it, for by Your power You brought this people up from among them,

14 (Ex 15:14; Ge 32:30) and they will say to the inhabitants of this land

that they heard that You, Lord, are among this people, that You, Lord,

are seen face to face, and Your cloud stands over them,

and in the pillar of cloud You go before them by day

and by a pillar of fire at night.

15 Now if You kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have

heard the fame of You will speak, saying,

16 (Dt 9:28; Jos 7:9) 'The Lord was not able to bring this people

into the land which He swore to them,

so He slaughtered them in the wilderness.'

17 "So now, I pray, let the power of my Lord be great,

just as You have spoken, saying,

18 (Ex 20:5; 34:6-7; Ps 145:8) 'The Lord is slow to anger

and abounding in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression;

but He will by no means clear the guilty,

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third

and fourth generation.'

19 (Ex 34:9; Ps 78:38) Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray,

according to the greatness of Your grace, just as You have pardoned

this people, from Egypt even until now."

20 The Lord said, "I have forgiven according to your word.

21 (Hab 2:14; Dt 32:40) But truly as I live, all the earth will be

filled with the glory of the Lord.

22 (Ge 31:7; Ex 17:2) Because all those men seeing My glory

and My signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness,

and have tempted Me now these ten times, and have not listened to My voice,

23 (Nu 32:11; 26:64) surely they will not see the land which I swore

to their fathers, nor will any of them who disgraced Me see it.

24 (Nu 14:6-9; 26:65) But My servant Caleb, because he had a different

spirit with him and followed Me fully, I will bring him into the land

where he went, and his seed will possess it.

25 (Nu 13:29; Dt 1:40) Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites

lived in the valley. Tomorrow you will turn, and you will

set out for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea."



[13] And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for

thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

[14] And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have

heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to

face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before

them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

[15] Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations

which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

[16] Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which

he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

[17] And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according

as thou hast spoken, saying,

[18] The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and

transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of

the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

[19] Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the

greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt

even until now.

[20] And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

[21] But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of

the LORD.

[22] Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which

I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten

times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

[23] Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers,

neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

[24] But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath

followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his

seed shall possess it.

[25] (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow

turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.



Death of Rebels Predicted



26 The Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:

27 (Ex 16:12) How long will this evil assembly be murmuring against Me?

I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel which they murmur

against Me.

28 (Nu 14:21; 14:23) Say to them, "As I live," says the Lord,

"just as you have spoken in My ears, so I will do to you.

29 (Nu 1:45; Heb 3:17) In this wilderness your corpses will fall,

and all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number,

from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me,

30 (Ge 14:22; Nu 14:38) you will not go into the land

which I swore by My hand to cause you to dwell in it,

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

31 (Ps 106:24; Dt 1:39) But your children, whom you said would be a prey,

I will bring them in and they will know the land, which you rejected.

32 (1Co 10:5; Nu 14:29) But as for you,

your corpses will fall in this wilderness.

33 (Nu 32:13; Dt 2:14) Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness

forty years, and they will suffer for your fornications, until

your corpses are in the wilderness.

34 (Nu 13:25; Eze 4:6) According to the number of the days in which

you spied out the land, forty days, a year for each day you will

bear your iniquity, forty years, and you will know My displeasure."

35 (Nu 23:19) I the Lord have spoken. I will surely do this to all

this evil assembly gathered against Me. In this wilderness they will

be finished, and there they will die.

36 The men whom Moses sent to explore the land, who returned

and made all the assembly murmur against him by bringing up

an evil report about the land,

37 (1Co 10:10; Nu 16:49) the men who brought an evil report

about the land, died by the pestilence before the Lord.

38 (Nu 26:65) But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,

from the men that went to explore the land, lived.



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

[27] How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against

me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur

against me.

[28] Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in

mine ears, so will I do to you:

[29] Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered

of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward,

which have murmured against me,

[30] Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to

make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son

of Nun.

[31] But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring

in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

[32] But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

[33] And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear

your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

[34] After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty

days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years,

and ye shall know my breach of promise.

[35] I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil

congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they

shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

[36] And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and

made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander

upon the land,

[37] Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by

the plague before the LORD.

[38] But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were

of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

Defeat in Battle



39 (Ex 33:4) Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel,

and the people mourned greatly.

40 (Dt 1:41) They rose up early in the morning, and they went up to the top

of the mountain, saying, "Here we are. We will go up to the place which the

Lord has promised, for we have sinned."

41 (2Ch 24:20) Moses said, "Why do you now transgress the commandment

of the Lord? This will not prosper.

42 (Dt 1:42) Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you; do not let

yourselves be defeated by your enemies.

43 (Nu 13:29; 14:25) For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there

before you, and you will fall by the sword because you are turned

from the Lord, and the Lord will not be with you."

44 (Dt 1:43) But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain.

But the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses did not depart

from the midst of the camp.

45 (Nu 21:3; Dt 1:44) Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites

who dwelt on that mountain went down and defeated them,

pursuing them as far as Hormah.



[39] And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the

people mourned greatly.

[40] And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of

the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which

the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

[41] And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the

LORD? but it shall not prosper.

[42] Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before

your enemies.

[43] For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye

shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore

the LORD will not be with you.

[44] But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of

the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

[45] Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that

hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

Romans 6:15-23



Slaves of Righteousness



15 (Ro 6:1-2) What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law

but under grace? God forbid!

16 (Jn 8:34; 2Pe 2:19) Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves

as slaves to obey, you are slaves of the one whom you obey,

whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

17 (Ro 1:8; 2Ti 1:13) But thanks be to God, for you were slaves of sin,

but you have obeyed from the heart that form of teaching

to which you were entrusted,

18 (Ro 6:22; Jn 8:32; Ro 8:2) and having been freed from sin, you became

the slaves of righteousness.

19 (Ro 3:5; 6:13) I speak in human terms because of the weakness

of your flesh, for just as you have yielded your members as slaves

to impurity and iniquity leading to more iniquity, even so now yield

your members as slaves to righteousness unto holiness.

20 For when you were the slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.

21 (Ro 1:32; 6:23) What fruit did you have then from the things of which

you are now ashamed? The result of those things is death.

22 (Ro 6:18; 1Pe 2:16) But now, having been freed from sin

and having become slaves of God, you have fruit unto holiness,

and the end is eternal life.

23 (Ro 5:12; Ge 2:17; Ro 2:7) For the wages of sin is death,

but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.



[15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under

grace? God forbid.

[16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his

servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience

unto righteousness?

[17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have

obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

[18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

[19] I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh:

for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity

unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto

holiness.

[20] For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

[21] What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for

the end of those things is death.

[22] But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have

your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

[23] For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

and against Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them,

"O that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or that we had died

in this wilderness!

3 And why has the Lord brought us to this land to fall by the sword,

that our wives and our children should become prey?

Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?"

4 (Dt 17:16; Ac 7:39) And they said one to another,

"Let us select a leader, and let us return to Egypt."

5 (Nu 16:4; 16:22) Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces

before all the congregation of the assembly of the children of Israel.

6 (Nu 13:6; 13:8) Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,

from the ones who explored the land, tore their clothes.

7 (Nu 13:27; Dt 1:25) And they spoke to all the assembly

of the children of Israel, saying, "The land which we passed through

to explore it is a very, very good land.

8 (Dt 10:15; Nu 13:27) If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us

into this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.

9 (Dt 7:18; 9:23-24) Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people

of the land because they are bread for us. Their defense is gone from them,

and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them."

10 (Ex 17:4; Lev 9:23) But all the assembly said, "Stone them with stones."

And the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting

before all the children of Israel.

11 (Ps 106:24; 78:22) The Lord said to Moses, "How long will this people

disgrace Me? And how long will they not believe Me, in spite of all the signs

which I have done among them?

12 (Ex 32:10) I will strike them

with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make from you

a nation greater and mightier than they."



Numbers 14

[1] And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the

people wept that night.

[2] And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron:

and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the

land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

[3] And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the

sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better

for us to return into Egypt?

[4] And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return

into Egypt.

[5] Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the

congregation of the children of Israel.

[6] And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of

them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

[7] And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying,

The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

[8] If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and

give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

[9] Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the

land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and

the LORD is with us: fear them not.

[10] But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of

the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the

children of Israel.

[11] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and

how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have

shewed among them?

[12] I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will

make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

Day 30 of the Month



a) Pray for God's will to be done where you live and throughout

Canadian society, as it is in Heaven



( Matt 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.

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.



)



b) Pray that in kindness God will lead many to repentance in your city

or community, and across our nation. (



Rom 2:4



4 (Ex 34:6; Isa 30:18) Do you despise the riches of His goodness,

tolerance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God

leads you to repentance?



4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance

and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth

thee to repentance?



)



Eight) Day 6 - God’s nearness follows repentance and surrender.



Scripture: James 4:8–10



8 (2Ch 15:2; Jas 1:8) Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.

Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 (Lk 6:25; Pr 14:13) Grieve and mourn and weep.

Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to ­dejection.

10 (Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,

and He will lift you up.



[8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye

sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to

mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

---



The more I think of God's greatness, the more I feel the weight of my sin.

James is clear in James 4:8-10 that we are to have an emotional response to

our sin. We are to have great sorrow and grief for our actions. The more

sensitive we are to our sin, the greater sensitivity we have towards the

goodness of Jesus. It is from this state that we are able to experience the

greatness of God's grace. We are not stuck in our sin, for when we come close

to God, God will come close to you. The closer we are to God, the more we will

desire what He desires and hate what He hates.



Coming close to God means being humble before Him and surrendering our hearts,

our actions, and our lives to Him. It is letting godly remorse lead us towards

repentance. The sorrow and grief of our own sin is not to be condemnation or

shame, for it does not change our standing before God. Jesus is the one who

defines our goodness. That is why we are to come before Jesus with a humbled

heart, allowing Jesus to lift us up in His power, and not our own.



---



Personal Reflection Questions:



- As you come before God, where do you sense conviction in your life,

and are you allowing that sorrow to lead you toward repentance rather

than condemnation?



- What does humbling yourself before the Lord look like for you right now,

and where do you need to trust Jesus to lift you up instead of relying on

your own strength?



Prayer Points:



- For Youth within Calvary to experience the depth of God's grace, shaping

their identity into men and women of God.



- For the youth in the Millwoods community who are hurting, lost, and alone,

Jesus will meet them and use Calvary Youth as His tool to reach them.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;

So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment

For all that are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses,

His acts unto the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,

Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide:

Neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins;

Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,

So great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children,

So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame;

He remembereth that we are dust.

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



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



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

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

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

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

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

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

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

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

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

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

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

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



Please join us in praying for:

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

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

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

in their faith and the Church.

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

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

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

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

Pray for the Zaza of Turkey



Everyone called him Doctor K. Since becoming a Christian, his dream was to use

his medical training to see his fellow Zaza come to Christ. Combining physical

healing with a longing to see spiritual healing, Dr. K. tirelessly travelled

the ancient Zaza homelands in the east of Turkey to do medical clinics and to

share the gospel.



Whether it was wizened old farmers with foot fungus or toothless aunties with

gum disease, Dr. K. listened and served with patience and compassion. His

ministry was shortened when, only a few months after twin baby daughters were

born, he died of leukemia.



Then God raised up another apostle to the Zaza. Unlike Dr. K., Ismail was not

Zaza but, like Dr. K., had a passion to see them reached. Like Dr. K., he was

a man filled with compassion and love. And like Dr. K., his ministry was

shortened when he died of colon cancer last year.



In the wake of Ismail's passing, the entire Turkish church mourned. Together,

they posted their love and appreciation on Instagram saying:



“A life dedicated to Jesus Christ, a life spent proclaiming the Good News of

salvation from city to city, village to village. Our beloved brother has

passed away. However, his life story has left behind a testimony that can

serve as an example to us all, both in terms of his determination and his love

for Jesus Christ. It has encouraged us to be witnesses who reflect the

gracious love of Christ, like the moon reflecting the light of the sun."

Day 29 of the Month



a) Pray that God will enlighten those in medicine and health care

to acknowledge the sanctity of life and server with true

integrity and compassion (



Ps 139:13-16



13 You brought my inner parts into being;

You wove me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;

marvelous are Your works,

and You know me completely.

15 My frame was not hidden from You

when I was made in secret,

and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw me unformed,

yet in Your book

all my days were written,

before any of them came into being.



13 For thou hast possessed my reins:

Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

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

15 My substance was not hid from thee,

When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought

in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;

And in thy book all my members were written,

Which in continuance were fashioned,

When as yet there was none of them.



)



b) Pray that the Church in Canada will remember the poor

and compassionately respond to their plight (



Gal 2:10



10 (Ac 24:17) Only they requested that we should remember the poor,

which I also was eager to do.



10 Only they would that we should remember the poor;

the same which I also was forward to do.

Numbers 13



[26] And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the

congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to

Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and

shewed them the fruit of the land.

[27] And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest

us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

[28] Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the

cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak

there.

[29] The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and

the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites

dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

[30] And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at

once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

[31] But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against

the people; for they are stronger than we.

[32] And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched

unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to

search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the

people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

[33] And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the

giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in

their sight.



(Why give such a faithless report when you are in the Lord's hands?)



2) Our Daily Bread for 28 February 2026 Titled

Faith of Friends by Katara Patton



Mark 2:1-5



1 (Mt 9:1) Again, He entered Capernaum after some days.

And it was reported that He was in the house.

2 (Mk 1:45; 2:13) Immediately many were gathered together,

so that there was no room to receive them, not even at the door.

And He preached the word to them.

3 (Lk 5:18-26) They came to Him bringing one sick with paralysis,

who was carried by four men.

4 (Lk 5:19) When they could not come near Him due to the crowding,

they uncovered the roof where He was. When they had broken it open,

they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.

5 (Mt 9:2; 9:22) When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic,

"Son, your sins are forgiven you."



[1] And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised

that he was in the house.

[2] And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no

room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the

word unto them.

[3] And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne

of four.

[4] And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered

the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed

wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

[5] When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy

sins be forgiven thee.



Attending a conference, a woman noticed that her friend - the day's

presenter - didn't look well. She approached the presenter, who replied,

"I'm going to get through this presentation. If I don't feel better in the

morning, I'll go to the doctor." The woman didn't forget about the presenter's

promise. This friend had to leave early, but she asked another friend to check

on the presenter.



In the morning, there was a knock at the presenter's hotel door. The second

friend had come to drive her to the hospital. There was no backing out, and -

fortunately - she was given life-saving treatments in time. The persistence

of friends had evidently helped to save her life.



Persistent friends can be a blessing, just like the men in Mark 2. They'd

apparently heard about the healing power of Jesus and that He'd come to their

town (v. 1). The people clambered to Christ, and there was "no room left" for

the men to get their paralysed friend to Him (v. 2). They didn't let a crowd

stop them from getting their friend the help he needed, however: "They made an

opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then

lowered . . . the man" (v. 4) to Christ who healed him (vv. 11-12).



Let's bring the needs of others to Jesus through persistent prayer. And as He

provides what we need, let's strive to help and love them well.



Reflect & Pray



How has the faith and persistence of friends helped you?

What can you do to help someone today?



Healing God, thank You for persistent and faith-filled friends.

Please help me to persistently lift others to You.



Consider how Jesus encouraged persistent prayer.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 7 - Upheld by His Hand



Is 41:10



10 (Jos 1:9; Isa 41:13-14) Do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you,

yes, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.



10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;

yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.



Beth had the same recurring nightmare: she was running along a cliff,

then she slipped, and fell headlong, into a bottomless ravine.

Falling, without control, without end, falling, falling, falling...

Beth's dream may be one many of us identify with. The sense

of losing control can be nightmarish, and we may fear falling

without end, without remedy. Financial failure may be the chasm

that we face, or professional disgrace. Personal relationships

may go out of control, and we look into a never-ending

ravine of pain and misunderstanding

But God says, "Don't be afraid; I am holding you up."

Like the father who helps his child learn to swim,

God holds us above the water. We may not feel his hands;

indeed, we may suspect that he lets us go just so we can

do it on our own. But he promises that he doesn't let go.

"I am with you." he declares. "I give you strength

and hold you up."

God's promise never to let go takes on new meaning

in a world where relationships are temporary and life is

uncertain. We do not need to fear, for he is with us.

We can relax and stop striving, for he is our God.

His strength becomes ours; amid all our sin and rebellion,

he undergirds us with his righteousness. We cannot fall,

for he holds us firm.



Application



a) Under what circumstances have I felt myself "falling"?



b) How does God's promise in Is 41:10 help me to have faith

in the midst of my fears?





4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Deut 30:19-20



19 (Dt 4:26; 30:1) I call heaven and earth to witnesses against you this day,

that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.

Therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

20 (Dt 10:20; Ps 27:1) that you may love the Lord your God,

that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him,

for He is your life and the length of your days;

and that you may dwell in the land that the Lord

swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.



19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,

that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:

therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 that thou mayest love the LORD thy God,

and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him:

for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:

that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD

sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

God's Freeing Forgiveness



Ps 103:1-14



PSALMS 103



A Psalm of David.



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9) The Lord does righteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the people of Israel.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He will not always accuse,

neither will He keep his anger forever.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He does not treat us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.

14 For He knows how we are formed;

He remembers that we are dust.

NUMBERS 12



Miriam and Aaron Oppose Moses



1 (Ex 2:21) And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because

of the Cushite woman whom he married, for he had married a Cushite woman.

2 (Nu 11:1; 16:3) They said, "Has the Lord spoken only by Moses?

Has He not spoken also by us?" And the Lord heard it.

3 (Mt 11:29) (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men

on the face of the earth.)

4 And the Lord spoke at once to Moses and to Aaron and to Miriam,

"Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting." And those three came out.

5 (Nu 11:25; Ex 34:5) The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood

in the opening of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam,

and they both came forward.

6 (Ge 46:2; 1Ki 3:5) He said, "Hear now My word.

If there is a prophet among you,

I the Lord will make Myself known to him in a vision,

and I will speak to him in a dream.

7 (Ps 105:26) Not so with My servant Moses;

he is entrusted with all My house.

8 (Dt 34:10; Ex 24:10-11) Face to face I speak with him clearly,

and not in riddles,

and the likeness of the Lord will he behold.

Then why were you not afraid

to speak against My servant, against Moses?"

9 And the anger of the Lord burned against them, and He set out.

10 (Dt 24:9; 2Ki 5:27) When the cloud went away from over the tabernacle,

Miriam became leprous as snow, and Aaron turned toward Miriam

and saw that she was leprous.

11 (2Sa 19:19; 24:10) Aaron said to Moses, "Alas, my lord, do not lay the

sin on us, which we have done foolishly, and which we have sinned.

12 Do not let her be as dead, who when he goes out of his mother's womb

half his flesh is eaten."

13 And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, "O God, heal her, I pray!"

14 (Dt 25:9; Job 30:10) But the Lord said to Moses,

"If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days?

Let her be shut out of the camp seven days,

and afterward she may be received again."

15 Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days,

and the people did not set out until Miriam was brought in again.

16 (Nu 11:35; 10:12) Afterward the people set out from Hazeroth

and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.



Numbers 12

[1] And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman

whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

[2] And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not

spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

[3] (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the

face of the earth.)

[4] And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam,

Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three

came out.

[5] And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door

of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

[6] And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the

LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in

a dream.

[7] My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

[8] With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark

speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then

were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

[9] And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

[10] And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam

became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold,

she was leprous.

[11] And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the

sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

[12] Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he

cometh out of his mother's womb.

[13] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech

thee.

[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face,

should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp

seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

[15] And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people

journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

[16] And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the

wilderness of Paran.



(Never anger the Lord foolishly)



NUMBERS 13



Spying in Canaan



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 (Nu 32:8; Dt 1:22-25) "Send men that they may explore the land of Canaan,

which I am giving to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers

you will send a man, each one a chief among them."

3 (Nu 12:16; 32:8) And Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according

to the Lord. All those men were heads of the children of Israel.

4 These were their names:

of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zakkur;

5 of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;

6 (Nu 14:6; 13:30) of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;

7 of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;

8 (Ex 24:13; Nu 11:28) of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;

9 of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;

10 of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;

11 of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh,

Gaddi the son of Susi;

12 of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;

13 of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;

14 of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;

15 of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Maki.

16 (Nu 13:8) These are the names of the men whom Moses

sent to explore the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

17 (Ge 12:9; Jdg 1:9) Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan

and said to them, "Go up to this southland, and go up into the mountain.

18 And see what the land is, and the people that dwell in it,

whether they are strong or weak, few or many;

19 and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad,

and what cities are that they dwell in, whether in tents,

or in fortifications;

20 (Dt 31:23; Ne 9:25) and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean,

whether there is wood in it or not. And you be courageous and bring

some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time

of the first ripe grapes.

21 (Nu 20:1; 33:36) So they went up and explored the land

from the Wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo Hamath.

22 (Ps 78:12; 78:43) They went up by the Negev and came to Hebron

where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were

(now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt).

23 (Nu 32:9; 13:24) And they came to the Valley of Eshkol,

and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes,

and they carried it on a pole between two of them,

and they brought some of the pomegranates and of the figs.

24 The place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster

of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there.

25 They returned from exploring the land after forty days.



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

[2] Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give

unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a

man, every one a ruler among them.

[3] And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness

of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

[4] And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of

Zaccur.

[5] Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

[6] Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

[7] Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

[8] Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.

[9] Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.

[10] Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.

[11] Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son

of Susi.

[12] Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

[13] Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.

[14] Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.

[15] Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

[16] These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land.

And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.

[17] And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them,

Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:

[18] And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein,

whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

[19] And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and

what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong

holds;

[20] And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood

therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the

land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.

[21] So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto

Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

[22] And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman,

Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven

years before Zoan in Egypt.)

[23] And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a

branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a

staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

[24] The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes

which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

[25] And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.



The Spies' Report



26 (Nu 32:8; 20:1) And they returned and came to Moses and to Aaron

and to all the assembly of the children of Israel,

to the Wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word to them

and to the entire assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.

27 (Ex 3:8; 3:17) They reported to him and said, "We came to the land

where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey,

and this is the fruit of it.

28 (Dt 1:28; 9:1-2) However, the people are strong that dwell in the land,

and the cities are fortified and very great, and also we saw the children

of Anak there.

29 (Nu 14:43) The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negev,

and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell

in the mountains, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea

and by the edge of the Jordan."

30 (Nu 14:24) Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said,

"Let us go up at once and possess it, for we are able to overcome it."

31 (Dt 1:28; Jos 14:8) But the men that went up with him said,

"We are not able to go up against the people

because they are stronger than we."

32 (Nu 14:36-37; Am 2:9) They gave the children of Israel

a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying,

"The land through which we have gone as spies is a land

that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom

we saw in it are men of great stature.

33 (Ge 6:4; Dt 1:28) And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak,

which come from the giants, and in our eyes we were like grasshoppers,

and so we were in their eyes."

1) Numbers 11, Numbers 12, Numbers 13



NUMBERS 11



Complaints in the Desert



1 (Lev 10:2; Nu 16:35) Now when the people complained openly before the Lord,

the Lord heard, and His anger burned. Then the fire of the Lord burned among

them and consumed the outskirts of the camp.

2 (Nu 21:7; 16:45-48) And the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed

to the Lord, and the fire was quenched.

3 (Dt 9:22) He called the name of the place Taberah

because the fire of the Lord burned among them.

4 (Ex 12:38; 1Co 10:6) The mixed multitude that was among them lusted,

and the children of Israel wept again and said,

"Who will give us meat to eat?

5 (Ex 16:3) We remember the fish, which we ate in Egypt for free,

the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.

6 (Nu 21:5) But now our life is dried up. There is nothing at all except

this manna before our eyes."

7 (Ex 16:31; Ge 2:12) The manna was as coriander seed,

and it looked like bdellium.

8 (Ex 16:16-18; 16:31) The people went about and gathered it,

and ground it in mills or beat it in a mortar, and boiled it in pots,

and made cakes of it, and the taste of

it was like the taste of cakes baked in oil.

9 (Ex 16:13-14) When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna fell on it.

10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in

the opening of his tent, and the anger of the Lord burned greatly.

Moses was also displeased.

11 (Dt 1:12) Moses said to the Lord, "Why have You hurt Your servant?

And why have I not found favor in Your eyes, that You lay the burden

of all this people on me?

12 (Ex 13:5; Isa 49:23) Have I conceived all this people? Have I given

them birth, that You should say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom, as a

nurse bears the nursing child,' to the land which You swore to their fathers?

13 (Mt 15:33; Mk 8:4) Where am I to get meat to give to all these people?

For they weep to me, saying, 'Give us meat, that we may eat.'

14 (Ex 18:18) I am not able to bear all these people alone,

because the burden is too heavy for me.

15 (1Ki 19:4; Jnh 4:3) If You do this to me, please kill me at once,

if I have found favor in Your eyes, and do not let me see my misery."



[1] And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD

heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among

them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

[2] And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD,

the fire was quenched.

[3] And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the

LORD burnt among them.

[4] And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the

children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to

eat?

[5] We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers,

and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

[6] But our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna,

before our eyes.

[7] And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the

colour of bdellium.

[8] And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or

beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the

taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

[9] And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

[10] Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man

in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly;

Moses also was displeased.

[11] And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy

servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou

layest the burden of all this people upon me?

[12] Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou

shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth

the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

[13] Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep

unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

[14] I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy

for me.

[15] And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I

have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.



The Seventy Elders



16 (Ex 24:1; 24:9) Then the Lord said to Moses, "Gather to Me seventy men

of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people,

and officers over them, and bring them to the tent of meeting,

that they may take a stand there with you.

17 (Nu 11:25; 1Sa 10:6) And I will come down, and I will speak with you there,

and I will take of the Spirit which is on you and will put it on them,

and they will bear the burden of the people with you, and you will not bear

it by yourself.

18 (Ex 19:10; Nu 11:1) "And say to the people: Consecrate yourselves

for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat, for you have wept in the hearing

of the Lord, saying, 'Who will give us meat to eat?

For it was better for us in Egypt.'

Therefore the Lord will give you meat, and you shall eat.

19 You shall eat, not one day, or two days, or five days, or ten days,

or twenty days,

20 (Ps 106:15; Nu 21:5) but a whole month, until it comes out

at your nostrils, and it will be nauseating to you because

you rejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before Him,

saying, 'Why did we come out of Egypt?' "

21 (Ex 12:37; 38:26) And Moses said, "The people I am with number

600000 foot soldiers, and You have said,

'I will give them meat that they may eat a whole month.'

22 (Mt 15:33) Will the flocks and the herds be slaughtered for them,

to satisfy them? Or will all the fish of the sea be gathered together

for them, to satisfy them?"

23 (Isa 50:2; 59:1) And the Lord said to Moses,

"Is the hand of the Lord shortened? Now you will see

if My word will happen to you or not."

24 (Nu 11:16) Moses went out, and he spoke to the people the words

of the Lord and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people

and set them around the tabernacle.

25 (Nu 11:17; 12:5; 1Sa 10:10) And the Lord came down in a cloud,

and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was on him,

and gave it to the seventy elders, and when the Spirit rested on them,

they prophesied, but did not do it again.

26 (1Sa 20:26; Jer 36:5) But two men remained in the camp.

The name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other, Medad.

And the Spirit rested on them. They were among those listed,

but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp.

27 And a young man ran and told Moses and said,

"Eldad and Medad prophesy in the camp."

28 Then Joshua the son of Nun, the assistant of Moses from his youth,

answered and said, "My lord Moses, forbid them."

29 (1Co 14:5) Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake?

Oh, that all the people of the Lord were prophets,

and that the Lord would put His Spirit upon them!"

30 And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel.



[16] And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders

of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers

over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they

may stand there with thee.

[17] And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the

spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear

the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

[18] And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow,

and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying,

Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore

the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

[19] Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten

days, nor twenty days;

[20] But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be

loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among

you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

[21] And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand

footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a

whole month.

[22] Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or

shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice

them?

[23] And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou

shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.

[24] And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and

gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round

about the tabernacle.

[25] And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the

spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came

to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did

not cease.

[26] But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was

Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and

they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle:

and they prophesied in the camp.

[27] And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do

prophesy in the camp.

[28] And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men,

answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

[29] And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all

the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon

them!

[30] And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.



The Lord Sends Quail



31 (Ex 16:13; Ps 105:40) Now a wind from the Lord started up,

and it swept quail from the sea and let them fall beside the camp,

about a day's journey on this side and a day's journey on the other side,

around the camp, and about two cubits (About 3 feet, or 90 centimeters.

above the ground.)

32 (Eze 45:11; Ex 16:36) And the people stayed up all that day, all night,

and all the next day, and gathered the quail. Those who gathered least

gathered ten homers. (Likely about 1 3/4 tons, or 1.6 metric tons.)

And they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

33 (Ps 78:30-31; Nu 16:49) While the meat was between their teeth,

before it was chewed, the anger of the Lord burned against the people,

and the Lord struck the people with a very great slaughter.

34 (Dt 9:22) And he called the name of that place Kibroth Hattaavah

because there they buried the people who had the craving.

35 (Nu 33:17; 12:16) The people journeyed from Kibroth Hattaavah

to Hazeroth, and they camped at Hazeroth.





[31] And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the

sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side,

and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and

as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

[32] And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the

next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten

homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.

[33] And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the

wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the

people with a very great plague.

[34] And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there

they buried the people that lusted.

[35] And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah unto Hazeroth; and

abode at Hazeroth.



(Why whine to your Saviour? Trust in him to provide your needs.)

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



When you are Saddened by Loss



1 Cor 15:35-38,51-57



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

With what body do they come?"

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

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

perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

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



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

all be changed.

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

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

and we shall be changed.

53 For tis corruptible will put on incorruption,

and this mortal will put on immortality.

54 When this corruptible will have put on incorruption,

and this mortal will have put on immortality,

then the saying that is written shall come to pass:

"Death is swallowed up in victory."

55 "O death, where is your sting?

O grave, where is your victory?"

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

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

our Lord Jesus Christ!



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

and with what body do they come?

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

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

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

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

and to every seed his own body.



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

all be changed,

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

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

and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,

and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,

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

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

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

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

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

our Lord Jesus Christ.

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,

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



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



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

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

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

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

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

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

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

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

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

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

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

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



Please join us in praying for:

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

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

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

in their faith and the Church.

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

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

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

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

in these growing Muslim population centres.

Pray for the Sundanese



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

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

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

faith with her coworkers.



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

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

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

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

God! I love you!"



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

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

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

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

home.



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

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

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



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

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

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

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

young men follow Jesus.

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



Scripture:



Hosea 10:12



12 Sow to yourselves righteousness, reap mercy,

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

until He comes and rains righteousness upon you.



12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy;

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

till he come and rain righteousness upon you.



---



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

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

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

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

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

blessing.



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



Imagine a farmer ignoring fertile soil; similarly, neglecting financial

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

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

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

multiplying our efforts for eternal impact.



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

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

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

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

harvest.

Prayer:

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