4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



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



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

in silver and in gold.

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

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

both dwelling together because their possessions were so great.

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

the Lord said to Abram,

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

northward and southward and eastward and westward.

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

and to your descendants forever.

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

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

then your descendants could also be numbered.

17 Arise, and walk throughout the land across its length

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

and southward, and eastward, and westward:

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

and to thy seed for ever.

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

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

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

for I will give it unto thee.



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



God's Generous Provision



Ps 145:13b-21



13 Your dominion endures throughout all generations.

14 The Lord upholds all who fall,

and raises up all who are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon You,

and You give them their food in due season.

16 You open Your hand

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways

and loving in all His works.

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

to all who call upon Him in truth.

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

He also will hear their cry and will save them.

20 The Lord preserves all those who love Him,

but all the wicked He will destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord,

and let all people bless His holy name

forever and ever.



13 And thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall,

And raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee;

And thou givest them their meat in due season.

16 Thou openest thine hand,

And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways,

And holy in all his works.

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

To all that call upon him in truth.

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

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

20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him:

But all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD:

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



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



Where do Muslims live?



Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers

to our shores. Where do they live? How can we prayfor these areas? Use this as

your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.



Data for those population figures is extrapoled for the 2011 National

Household Survay and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have

also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims

self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on

the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total

Canadian population, not provincial



BC - 136493 - 7.5%

AB - 195240 - 11%

SK - 17279 - 1%

MB - 21349 - 1.2%

ON - 1001542 - 55%

Adding further



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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



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

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

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



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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



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

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



ROMANS 15:13



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

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

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

2 Kings 15





[17] In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem

the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.

[18] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed

not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made

Israel to sin.

[19] And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave

Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm

the kingdom in his hand.

[20] And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of

wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria.

So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.

[21] And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not

written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

[22] And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his

stead.



Pekahiah, King of Israel



23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem

became king over Israel in Samaria for two years.

24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from the sins

of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.



[23] In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of

Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.

[24] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed

not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.



25 But Pekah son of Remaliah, his officer, conspired against him

and struck him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob,

Arieh, and fifty men of the Gileadites with him. He killed him a

nd reigned in his place.

26 Now the rest of the deeds of Pekahiah and all that he did, behold,

they are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.



[25] But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him,

and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and

Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and

reigned in his room.

[26] And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they

are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.



Pekah, King of Israel

27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah son of Remaliah

became king over Israel in Samaria for twenty years.

28 He did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from the

sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came

and took Ijon, Abel of Beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee,

and all the land of Naphtali, and then exiled them to Assyria.

30 Then Hoshea son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah

and struck and killed him. Then he reigned in his place in the twentieth

year of Jotham son of Uzziah.

31 The rest of the deeds of Pekah and all that he did, behold,

they are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.



[27] In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of

Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.

[28] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: he departed

not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

[29] In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of

Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Jonoah, and Kedesh, and

Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them

captive to Assyria.

[30] And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son

of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead,

in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

[31] And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold,

they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.



2 Chronicles 26:22-23



22 (Isa 1:1; 6:1) Now the remainder of the acts of Uzziah,

from beginning to end, Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz, has written them.

23 (2Ch 21:20; 28:27) So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him

with his fathers in the burial field belonging to the kings because they said,

"He is a leper." And Jotham his son ruled in his place.



[22] Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the

prophet, the son of Amoz, write.

[23] So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers

in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said,

He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.



2) Our Daily Bread for 8 July 2026

The Holy Grail

By Bill Crowder



Matthew 26:20-30



20 (Mk 14:17-21; Jn 13:21) When evening came, He sat down with the twelve.

21 (Jn 13:21; 6:70-71) And as they were eating, He said,

"Truly I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

22 They were very sorrowful, and each of them began saying to Him,

"Lord, is it I?"

23 (Jn 13:18; Ps 41:9) He answered and said, "He who has dipped his hand

with Me in the dish will betray Me.

24 (Mk 9:12; Lk 24:46) The Son of Man goes as it is written of Him,

but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!

It would have been good for that man if he had not been born."

25 (Mt 26:64; 27:11) Then Judas, who betrayed Him, answered, "Master,

is it I?"

He said to him, "You have said it."



[20] Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

[21] And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you

shall betray me.

[22] And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say

unto him, Lord, is it I?

[23] And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish,

the same shall betray me.

[24] The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by

whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not

been born.

[25] Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He

said unto him, Thou hast said.



The Lord's Supper

Mk 14:22-26; Lk 22:15-20; 1Co 11:23-25



26 (Mt 14:19) As they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed it

and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said,

"Take and eat. This is My body."

27 Then He took the cup, and after He gave thanks, He gave it to them, saying,

"Drink of it, all of you.

28 (Mt 20:28; Ex 24:7-8) For this is My blood of the new covenant,

which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

29 (Mt 13:43; Mk 14:25) I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit

of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you

in My Father's kingdom."

30 (Mt 21:1; Lk 22:39) And when they had sung a hymn,

they went out to the Mount of Olives.



[26] And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake

it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

[27] And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying,

Drink ye all of it;

[28] For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for

the remission of sins.

[29] But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the

vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

[30] And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.



For centuries, people have been fascinated by the Holy Grail - the cup Jesus

drank from at the Last Supper. The legends surrounding King Arthur and the

knights of the Round Table detail their obsession over the search for the cup.

They believed it had magical powers. In film, Indiana Jones and his father,

Henry, fulfilled Henry's lifelong pursuit of the Grail.



While this makes for fascinating storytelling, the truth is much more s

traightforward. The cup itself has no special powers. The real power is found

in what it represents. Matthew describes the scene in the upper room the night

before Jesus went to the cross: "Then [Jesus] took a cup, and when he had

given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you. This is

my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of

sins' " (26:27-28). The cup is a picture of the blood that Jesus would

shed on our behalf.



John the Baptist introduced Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin

of the world" (John 1:29). Hebrews 9:22 tells us, “Without the shedding of

blood there is no forgiveness." And Paul wrote that Christ himself is "our

Passover lamb" (1 Corinthians 5:7). Jesus paid the penalty for our sins.

How thankful we are for the shed blood of our Savior, the Lamb!



Reflect & Pray



What does it mean for you to celebrate Communion?

How do you express your thanks for the sacrifice Jesus made for you?



Loving Father, left to myself I would be forever lost.

Thank You for the provision of Your Son

and His willingness to go to the cross in my place.

Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 4 - Daddy!



Romans 8:15



'For you have not received the spirit of slavery again to fear. But you have

received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba, Father." '



15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have

received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.



"I've always been a Daddy's girl," Sandi said proudly, and her relationship

with her father proved it. She was never spoiled, but even as a grown woman,

Sandi maintained a closeness with her father, sharing intimately with him the

important issues of her life. And just her use of the name "Daddy" indicated

that he was, indeed a warm, approachable, affectionate man.

Many people are not so fortunate. Some fathers are stern and harsh;

others absent or uncaring, some even abusive. Few have the king of father

who presents a picture of the loving fatherhood of God.

But whatever our concept of fatherhood, God makes clear that he is everything

we always wanted our fathers to be - loving, forgiving, approachable,

totally accepting of us as we are, encouraging us to become all he has

created us to be.

In Romans 8, Paul calls God our "Abba Father". The Aramaic word for Father,

Abba, is an intimate term that might well be translated, Daddy.

God is our "Daddy," our "Abba" - not a distant, stern patriarch ready

to strike us down at the first sign of transgression, but a gentle,

loving Father who longs for us to climb into his lap and let him comfort us.

When we commit ourselves to Christ, Paul indicates, we do not receive a

"spirit of bondage to fear" but a "spirit of adoption." We are not called

to respond to God out of fear, but out of love and reverence.

We can relax and enjoy his presence, for we are his children,

and he is our loving Daddy.



Application



a) What concept of fatherhood do I have from my own experience with my father?

How does that correspond to Paul's description of God as "Daddy"?



b) How can this verse help change my perception of what it means to have

God as my Father?

Amos 9



Destruction of the Sanctuary



1 (Ps 68:21; Am 3:14) I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and He said:

Strike the capitals

so that the thresholds shake;

break them off onto the heads of all of them.

Those who remain I will slay with the sword.

Not one of them will get away;

not one fugitive will survive.

2 (Jer 51:53; Ob 1:4) Though they dig down to Sheol,

from there My hand will capture them;

though they climb up to the heavens,

from there I will bring them down;

3 (Jer 16:16; Job 34:22) though they hide on the top of Carmel,

from there I will search and catch them;

though they hide from My sight on the bottom of the sea,

from there will I command the serpent to bite them;

4 (Lev 26:33; Jer 44:11) and though they go into captivity

before their enemies, from there will I command the sword to slay them.

I will set My eyes upon them

for evil and not for good.

5 (Am 8:8; Ps 46:6) The Lord God of Hosts,

He who touches the earth and it melts,

and all who live on it mourn;

it all rises up like the Nile,

and subsides like the river of Egypt;

6 (Ps 104:3; Am 5:8) who builds His chambers in the heavens,

and founds His vault over the earth;

who summons the waters of the sea,

and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—

the Lord is His name.

7 (Jer 47:4; Am 1:5) Are you not like the Ethiopians to Me,

O children of Israel?

says the Lord.

Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt,

but also the Philistines from Caphtor,

and the Arameans from Kir?

8 (Jer 30:11; 44:27) The eyes of the Lord God

are upon the sinful kingdom,

and I will destroy it

from off the face of the earth,

though I will not completely destroy

the house of Jacob,

says the Lord.

9 See, I am giving the command,

and I will sift the house of Israel

among all the nations,

as one sifts with a sieve,

and not a pebble falls to the ground.

10 (Am 6:3; Isa 33:14) All the sinners of My people

will die by the sword, those who say,

"Never will disaster reach or overtake us."



[1] I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of

the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them;

and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall

not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

[2] Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though

they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

[3] And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and

take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of

the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

[4] And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I

command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon

them for evil, and not for good.

[5] And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt,

and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a

flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

[6] It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his

troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth

them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.

[7] Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel?

saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and

the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

[8] Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will

destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly

destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.

[9] For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all

nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain

fall upon the earth.

[10] All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The

evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.



Restoration of the Davidic Kingdom



11 (Ps 80:12; Isa 16:5) On that day will I raise up

the hut of David that is fallen;

I will close up its breached walls,

raise up its ruins,

and rebuild it as in the days of old;

12 (Isa 43:7; 11:14) that they may possess the remnant of Edom,

and of all the nations called by My name,

says the Lord who will do this.

13 (Lev 26:5; Joel 3:18) Indeed, the days are coming, says the Lord,

when the plowman will overtake the one who is reaping,

and the treader of grapes the one who is sowing the seed;

the mountains will drip sweet wine,

and all the hills will flow with it.

14 (Jer 30:18; Isa 61:4; Jer 30:3) I will restore the fortunes

of My people Israel;

they will rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;

they will plant vineyards and drink their wine;

they will make gardens and eat their fruit.

15 (Isa 60:21; Jer 24:6) I will plant them upon their land,

and no more will they be uprooted

out of their land which I have given them.

The Lord your God has spoken.



[11] In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen,

and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will

build it as in the days of old:

[12] That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen,

which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

[13] Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake

the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains

shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

[14] And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they

shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards,

and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit

of them.

[15] And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be

pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.



2 Kings 14:28-29



28 And whenever the king entered the house of the Lord,

the guards carried them and brought them back into the guard chamber.

29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did,

are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?



[28] Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his

might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath,

which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book

of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

[29] And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel;

and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.



2 Kings 15:1-5



2 Kings 15



Azariah, King of Judah



2Ch 26:3-23



1 (2Ki 14:21; 15:13) In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel,

Azariah son of Amaziah, king of Judah, became king.

2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned 52 years

in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jekoliah from Jerusalem.

3 He did what was right in the sight of the Lord,

according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

4 But the high places were not removed. The people continued sacrificing

and making offerings on the high places.

5 (Lev 13:46; Nu 12:14) The Lord afflicted the king, and he was leprous

until the day of his death. He lived in a separate house. Jotham the king's

son was in charge of the house, judging the people of the land.



2 Kings 15

[1] In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Azariah

son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

[2] Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and

fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

[3] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to

all that his father Amaziah had done;

[4] Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and

burnt incense still on the high places.

[5] And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his

death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the

house, judging the people of the land.

2 Chronicles 26:1-21



2 Chronicles 26

Uzziah, King of Judah

2 Ki 14:21-22; 15:1-7

1 (2Ch 22:1) And all the people of Judah took Uzziah

[Also known as Azariah in 2Ki 15.] and made him king in the place

of his father Amaziah when he was sixteen years old.

2 He built Eloth and restored it to Judah

after Amaziah the king slept with his fathers.

3 (2Ki 15:2-3) Uzziah was sixteen years old when he began to reign,

and he was king in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. The name of his mother

was Jekoliah from Jerusalem.

4 And he did what was correct in the eyes of the Lord as everything

his father Amaziah had done.

5 (2Ch 24:2; Da 1:17) And he sought after God in the days of Zechariah,

the one who instructed him in the fear of the Lord. And in the days

that he sought after the Lord, God caused him to succeed.

6 (Isa 14:29) He went out to make war with the Philistines, and he broke

through the walls at Gath and Jabneh and Ashdod. Then he built cities

in Ashdod and among the Philistines.

7 (2Ch 21:16) And God brought him aid against the Philistines and Arabians,

those living in Gur Baal, and the Meunites.

8 (Ge 19:38; 2Sa 8:2) And the Ammonites gave a gift to Uzziah,

and his name spread even to the border of Egypt because he became

quite powerful.

9 (Ne 3:13; 2Ki 14:13) Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate,

at the Valley Gate, and at the corner buttress; and he fortified them.

10 (Ge 26:18-21) And he built towers in the wilderness, and he dug out

many cisterns because he had a large amount of livestock,

both in the lowland Shephelah and in the plain. He also had workers

in the fields and vineyards in the hills and fertile orchards,

for he loved agriculture.

11 And Uzziah had an army prepared for battle, those who went out

for war as companies in the number of their divisions

by the appointment of Jeiel the scribe, and Maaseiah the officer,

and Hananiah a commander of the king.

12 The total number of chief officers of the mighty men of valor

was two thousand six hundred.

13 And under their hand was a mighty army of 307500 who were able to go

to battle as a strong army and to help the king against his enemies.

14 And Uzziah prepared for the entire army shields, long spears,

helmets, scale armor, bows, and slings for stones.

15 In Jerusalem he made war machines by skilled men to be placed

on towers and corners to shoot arrows and large stones.

And his name went out for a great distance.

He received great help until he was even more powerful.



[1] Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old,

and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.

[2] He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept

with his fathers.

[3] Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned

fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of

Jerusalem.

[4] And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to

all that his father Amaziah did.

[5] And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in

the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD,

God made him to prosper.

[6] And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down

the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built

cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.

[7] And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians

that dwelt in Gur-baal, and the Mehunims.

[8] And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even

to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.

[9] Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at

the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.

[10] Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had

much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also,

and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.

[11] Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by

bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the

scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the

king's captains.

[12] The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of

valour were two thousand and six hundred.

[13] And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven

thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the

king against the enemy.

[14] And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and

spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.

[15] And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the

towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And

his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped,

till he was strong.



Uzziah's Punishment for Pride



16 (2Ch 25:19; Dt 8:14) And as he grew strong, his heart grew more proud,

leading to his destruction. Then he acted unfaithfully against the Lord

his God, for he entered the temple main hall of the Lord to burn

incense on the altar.

17 (1Ch 6:10) But Azariah the priest entered in after him,

and with him were eighty priests of the Lord-men of valor.

18 (Ex 30:7-8; Nu 18:7) And they stood against King Uzziah and said to him,

"It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord for it is

for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense.

Leave from the sanctuary because you have been unfaithful, and there

will be no honor for you from the Lord God."

19 (Nu 12:10) Then Uzziah was enraged, and in his hand was a censer

for incense. And when he became angry with the priests, leprosy appeared

on his forehead in front of the priests in the house of the Lord,

near the altar of incense.

20 Then Azariah the head priest and all the priests turned to him,

and he had leprosy on his forehead; and they hastened to remove

him from there, and he also hurried to leave because the Lord had struck him.

21 (Lev 13:46) So King Uzziah had leprosy until the day of his death.

He dwelt in a separate house with his unclean disease

because he was cut off from the house of the Lord.

Then Jotham his son was over the house of the king,

and he governed the people of the land.



[16] But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction:

for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the

LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

[17] And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore

priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:

[18] And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth

not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests

the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the

sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour

from the LORD God.

[19] Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense:

and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his

forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the

incense altar.

[20] And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him,

and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from

thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten

him.

[21] And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in

a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the

LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of

the land.



2 Kings 15:6-7



6 Now the rest of the deeds of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not

written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

7 So Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers

in the City of David. Jotham his son reigned in his place.



[6] And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not

written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

[7] So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers

in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.



Zechariah, King of Israel



2 Kings 15:8-29



8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah

the son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in Samaria for six months.



[8] In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did Zachariah

the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.



9 He did evil in the sight of the Lord, as his fathers had done.

He did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,

who caused Israel to sin.

10S hallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, struck him at Ibleam,

and killed him. Then Shallum reigned in his place.

11 Now the rest of the deeds of Zechariah, behold, they are written in

the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.

12 This was the word of the Lord which He spoke to Jehu,

"Your sons will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation."

And it was so.



[9] And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his fathers

had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who

made Israel to sin.

[10] And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and smote him

before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.

[11] And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they are written in the

book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

[12] This was the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy

sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And

so it came to pass.



Shallum, King of Israel



13 Shallum son of Jabesh became king in the thirty-ninth year

of Uzziah king of Judah. He reigned for a month in Samaria.

14 Then Menahem son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, entered Samaria,

and struck Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria and killed him.

Then Menahem reigned in his place.

15 Now the rest of the deeds of Shallum and the conspiracy he made,

behold, they are written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel.

16 Then Menahem struck Tiphsah and all who were in it, and the territories

around Tirzah. Because they did not open up the city to him, he attacked it.

Then he split open all its pregnant women.



[13] Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and thirtieth

year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in Samaria.

[14] For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came to Samaria,

and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him, and

reigned in his stead.

[15] And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made,

behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of

Israel.

[16] Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts

thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it;

and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.



Menahem, King of Israel

17 In the thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem son of Gadi

became king over Israel for ten years in Samaria.

18 He did evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside all his days

from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.

19 Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul

a thousand talents of silver, that he might help him strengthen

his control of the kingdom.

20 Menahem exacted the money from Israel, from all the very wealthy men,

fifty shekels of silver each, to give to the king of Assyria.

So the king of Assyria left and did not stay there in the land.

21 The rest of the deeds of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written

in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?

22 And Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.

Amos 7



Plague of Locusts



1 (Joel 1:4; Am 8:1) This is what the Lord God showed me:

He was forming a plague of locusts when the latter growth

was beginning to sprout up, the latter growth after the king's reaping.

2 (Ex 10:15; Isa 37:4) When they had finished devouring the foliage

of the land, I said, "O Lord God, please forgive.

How can Jacob survive? For he is small."

3 (Dt 32:36; Hos 11:8) The Lord relented concerning this:

"It shall not be," said the Lord.



[1] Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed

grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth;

and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

[2] And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass

of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall

Jacob arise? for he is small.

[3] The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.



Fire



4 (Isa 66:15-16; Am 7:1) This is what the Lord God showed me:

The Lord God was calling for a judgment by fire. It was consuming

the great deep and was devouring the fields.

5 (Ps 85:4) I said, "O Lord God, please stop. How can Jacob survive?

For he is small."

6 The Lord relented concerning this:

"This also shall not be," said the Lord God.



[4] Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called

to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

[5] Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob

arise? for he is small.

[6] The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.



Plumb Line



7 (2Ki 21:13) This is what He showed me: The Lord was standing by

a wall made using a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.

8 (Am 8:2; Jer 15:6; La 2:8) The Lord said to me, "Amos, what do you see?"

And I said, "A plumb line."

Then the Lord said, "See, I am putting a plumb line in the midst

of My people Israel. I will forgive them no more.

9 (2Ki 15:8-10; Ge 46:1) The high places of Isaac will be destroyed,

the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste,

and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."



[7] Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a

plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

[8] And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A

plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of

my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

[9] And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of

Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam

with the sword.



The Priest Tries to Banish Amos



10 (Jer 38:4; 26:8-11) Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent a message

to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you

at the very center of the house of Israel. The country cannot endure

all his words.

11 For this is what Amos said:

'Jeroboam will die by the sword,

and Israel will surely be exiled

away from its land.' "

12 (Mt 8:34; 1Sa 9:9) So Amaziah said to Amos, "O seer, go,

flee back to the land of Judah.

Earn your sustenance there, and prophesy there.

13 (Am 2:12; 1Ki 12:29) But do not prophesy any more at Bethel,

for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal temple."

14 (2Ki 2:5; 4:38) But Amos answered Amaziah: "I am no prophet,

and I am no prophet's disciple. Rather, I am a herdsman

and a dresser of sycamore trees.

15 (Eze 2:3-4; 2Sa 7:8) But the Lord took me away from the flock,

and the Lord said to me, 'Go, prophesy to My people Israel.'

16 (Eze 20:46; 21:2) Now therefore hear the word of the Lord: You say,

'Do not prophesy against Israel,

and do not preach against the house of Isaac.'

17 (2Ki 17:6; Eze 4:13) "Therefore thus says the Lord:

'Your wife will be a prostitute in the city,

your sons and daughters will fall by the sword,

and your land will be divided by measuring line;

you yourself will die in an unclean land;

and Israel will surely go into exile

away from its land.' "



[10] Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel,

saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house

of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

[11] For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall

surely be led away captive out of their own land.

[12] Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the

land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

[13] But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's

chapel, and it is the king's court.

[14] Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I

a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

[15] And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto

me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

[16] Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy

not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

[17] Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the

city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land

shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land:

and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.



Amos 8



Basket of Fruit



1 (Am 7:1) This is what the Lord God showed me: a basket of summer fruit.

2 (Am 7:8; La 4:18; Mic 7:1) He said, "Amos, what do you see?"

And I said, "A basket of summer fruit."

Then the Lord said to me, "The end has come upon My people Israel.

I will forgive them no more.

3 (Am 5:23; 6:9-10) "The songs of the temple shall become wailings

on that day," says the Lord God.

"The corpses shall be many, cast down everywhere. Hush!"



[1] Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer

fruit.

[2] And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer

fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel;

I will not again pass by them any more.

[3] And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day,

saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place;

they shall cast them forth with silence.

Against the Greedy



4 (Ps 14:4; Pr 30:14) Hear this, you who trample on the needy

to make the poor of the land fail,

5 (Hos 12:7; 2Ki 4:23) saying,

"When will the New Moon be over,

so that we may sell grain?

And the Sabbath,

that we may open the wheat sales,

making the ephah

[A dry measure of about 3/5 bushel, or 22 liters.] too small,

and the shekel [About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.] too heavy,

cheating with dishonest scales,

6 (Am 2:6 ) that we may buy the poor for silver,

the needy for a pair of sandals,

and sell the refuse as wheat?"

7 (Hos 8:13; Am 6:8) The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:

Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.

8 (Am 9:5; Hos 4:3; Ps 18:7) Will not the land tremble because of this,

and everyone mourn who lives on it?

It will all rise up like the Nile,

and be tossed around, then sink

like the Nile of Egypt.

9 (Jer 15:9; Am 5:8) On that day, says the Lord God,

I will make the sun go down at noon,

and darken the earth in mid-daylight;

10 (Jer 6:26; Zec 12:10) I will turn your feasts into mourning,

and all your songs into dirges;

I will put sackcloth upon all loins,

and baldness on every head;

I will make it like the mourning for an only child,

and its end like a bitter day.

11 (1Sa 3:1; Ps 74:9) The time is coming, says the Lord God,

when I will send a famine on the land,

not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,

but of hearing the words of the Lord.

12 They will wander from sea to sea,

and from north to east;

they will run back and forth to seek the word of the Lord,

but they will not find it.

13 (Hos 2:3; La 1:18) On that day

the beautiful maidens and the young men

will faint with thirst.

14 (Dt 9:21; 1Ki 12:28-29) Those who swear by Ashimah of Samaria, and say,

"By the life of your god, O Dan,"

and, "By the life of the way of Beersheba"-

they shall fall

and never rise again.



[4] Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy,

even to make the poor of the land to fail,

[5] Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the

sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel

great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

[6] That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;

yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

[7] The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never

forget any of their works.

[8] Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth

therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out

and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

[9] And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will

cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear

day:

[10] And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into

lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness

upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son,

and the end thereof as a bitter day.

[11] Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in

the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the

words of the LORD:

[12] And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the

east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not

find it.

[13] In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

[14] They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth;

and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up

again.

Romans 12:4-8



4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,

and not all parts have the same function,

5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and all are parts of one another.

6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that

is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;

7 (Ac 13:1; Eph 4:11)if service, in serving; he who teaches, in teaching;

8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with

generosity; he who rules, with diligence;

he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.



4 For as we have many members in one body,

and all members have not the same office:

5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ,

and every one members one of another.

6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that

is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according

to the proportion of faith;

7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,

on teaching;

8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let

him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;

he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.



Col 3:17



17(1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20)And whatever you do in word or deed,

do all in the name

of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

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



God's Generous Provision



Matthew 6:24-34



God and Money



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

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

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

You cannot serve God and money."



Care and Anxiety



Lk 12:22-34



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

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

or what you will drink, nor about your body,

what you will put on. Is not life more than

and the body than clothing?

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

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

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

27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit

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

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

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:

They neither work, nor do they spin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.

Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.



True Wisdom



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

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

Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

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

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

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

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

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

better than they?

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

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

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

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

like one of these.

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

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

O ye of little faith?

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

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

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek

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

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God,

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

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow:

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

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



Where do Muslims live?



Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers

to our shores. Where do they live? How can we prayfor these areas? Use this as

your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.



Data for those population figures is extrapoled for the 2011 National

Household Survay and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have

also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims

self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on

the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total

Canadian population, not provincial

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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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

Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



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

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

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



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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



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

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



ROMANS 15:13



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

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

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

Amos 6





[1] Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of

Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel

came!

[2] Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great:

then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms?

or their border greater than your border?

[3] Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come

near;

[4] That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches,

and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the

stall;

[5] That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments

of musick, like David;

[6] That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments:

but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

[7] Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and

the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

[8] The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I

abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver

up the city with all that is therein.

[9] And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that

they shall die.

[10] And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring

out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides

of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No.

Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of

the LORD.

[11] For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with

breaches, and the little house with clefts.

[12] Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen?

for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness

into hemlock:

[13] Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say,

Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

[14] But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel,

saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the

entering in of Hamath unto the river of the wilderness.

The Way Wisdom Works By Katara Patton



1 Kings 3:16-21,24-28



The Wisdom of Solomon



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

and stood before the king.

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

and I bore a child with her in the house.

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

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

in the house.

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

because she rolled over on it.

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

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

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

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

that it was not my son whom I bore."

...

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

before the king.

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

and half to the other."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

was in him, to execute sound judgment.



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

and stood before him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

which I did bear.

...

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

king.

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

one, and half to the other.

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

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

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

thine, but divide it.

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

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

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

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

judgment.



As a child, I brought home a report card with all S's, which stood for

Satisfactory. My sister, who was five years older than me, had a mixture

of A’s and B’s. I thought our report cards proved I was smarter because I

had what I thought was the equivalent of all A's. My older brother then

proceeded to offer us a test. He went to my parents' bookshelf and pulled out

a book. He asked me to read a passage. I stumbled, only recognizing a few

words. My sister read the passage flawlessly. My brother declared

her the smartest.



Lesson learned. His test proved to be wise.



The people in Israel learned a lesson on wisdom from King Solomon. Two women

had delivered babies. One baby died when his mother accidentally "lay on him"

(1 Kings 3:19). This mother then tried to claim the living baby as her own.

The women went to Solomon to ask who should keep the baby. When he heard the

complaint, he ordered that the living baby be cut in two so both women could

have a half of the child (v. 25).



The woman who was not the mother agreed to this order, but the true mother

said, "Give her the living baby! Don't kill him!" (v. 26). When she spoke up

to save the child, Solomon ruled that she was the mother and said to give her

the baby (v. 27). Solomon's God-given wisdom was on full display.



As God helps us, our actions can show others the true wisdom

that comes from Him too (Proverbs 2:6).



Reflect & Pray



What decisions do you need wisdom for today? How can you find wisdom?



All-wise God, please give me the wisdom I need to know which way to go.



3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association



Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools



Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 3 - Inseparable From God's Love



Romans 8:38-39



38 (Eph 1:21; 1Pe 3:22) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present

nor things to come,

39 (Ro 5:8) neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing,

shall be able to separate us from the love of God,

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



[38] For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor

principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

[39] Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to

separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



Separation is a fact of human life. Relationships disintegrate,

children grow up, loved ones die, husbands and wives divorce,

friends changes and drift apart. We may resist change and separation,

but we must deal with them nevertheless.

Separation sometimes is a natural result of growth and development;

sometimes it is a violent, cataclysmic shaking of an individual's life.

2 lifelong friends go separate ways to college or into future careers;

a church splits over doctrinal differences; a wife finds out a hidden

secret in her husband's past.

But with God, there is no separation, no death, no breaking of vows,

no growing beyond the relationship. Nothing, says Paul, can separate

us from the love of God. A skeleton in my closet, once revealed, may

cost me the trust of those I thought were my friends. But God knows

all my past, all my sin; he forgives, and it cannot separate me from him.

My present personal struggles may cause trouble in my job and result in

the loss of that income, but God understands what I'm going through,

and even when I'm angry at him, he can take it without drawing away

or striking back. My present problems cannot separate me from the Lord.

And God knows, too, the plan he has established for my future. I cannot

walk away from him, grow beyond my need for him, or outrun him into

tomorrow.

She may separate me from my awareness of God's presence in my life,

but it cannot set me beyond his reach. There is no power that is greater

than God's love, and no place I can go that will separate me

from that love.



Application



a) Have I ever felt separated from the love of God? Under what circumstances?



b) How can today's verse free me from anxiety about the past,

the present or the future?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 35:27



27 May those who favour my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad;

may they say continually, "The Lord be magnified,

who delights in the peace of His servant."



27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:

Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified,

which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Amos 2





[6] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I

will not turn away the punishment thereof;

because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

[7] That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn

aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same

maid, to profane my holy name:

[8] And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar,

and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.

[9] Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height

of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from

above, and his roots from beneath.

[10] Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years

through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

[11] And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for

Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.

[12] But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets,

saying, Prophesy not.

[13] Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of

sheaves.

[14] Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall

not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

[15] Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of

foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver

himself.

[16] And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in

that day, saith the LORD.



Amos 3



First Pronouncement of Punishment



1 (Am 2:10; Jer 8:3) Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you,

O children of Israel, against the whole family I brought up from the land

of Egypt, saying:

2 (Dt 7:6; Ro 2:9) You alone have I known

of all the families of the earth;

therefore I will punish you

for all your iniquities.

3 Do two people walk together,

if they have not agreed?

4 (Ps 104:21; Hos 11:10) Does a lion roar in the forest,

if it has no prey?

Does a young lion cry out from its den,

if it has not caught something?

5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground,

if there was no snare for it?

Does a trap spring up from the ground,

if it has not caught something?

6 (Isa 45:7; 14:24-27) If the trumpet blasts in the city,

are not the people frightened?

If there is disaster against a city,

is it not the Lord who has done it?

7 (Ge 18:17; Jn 15:15) Surely the Lord God does nothing

without revealing His purpose

to His servants the prophets.

8 (Jer 20:9; Ac 4:20) The lion has roared;

who will not fear?

The Lord God has spoken;

who can but prophesy?

9 (Am 4:1; 6:1; 1Sa 5:1) Proclaim to the fortresses in Ashdod,

and the fortresses in the land of Egypt, and say:

"Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria,

and see the great disorders within her,

and the oppression in her midst."

10 (Jer 4:22; Zep 1:9) They do not know how to do right, says the Lord,

storing up violence and destruction in their fortresses.

11 (Am 2:5; 6:14) Therefore thus says the Lord God:

An enemy will surround your land;

he will tear down your defenses,

and your fortresses will be plundered.

12 (1Sa 17:34-37; Am 6:4) Thus says the Lord:

As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion

a pair of legs or a piece of an ear,

so will the children of Israel be rescued,

those who live in Samaria,

with the corner of a bed

or a piece of a couch.

13 Hear and testify against the house of Jacob,

says the Lord God, the God of Hosts:

14 (2Ki 23:15; Hos 10:5-8) Surely on the day

I punish the transgressions of Israel,

I will also punish the altars of Bethel;

the horns of the altar will be cut off

and fall to the ground.

15 (Jdg 3:20; 1Ki 22:39) I will destroy the winter house

as well as the summer house,

and the houses of ivory will perish;

the great houses will come to an end,

says the Lord.



Amos 3

[1] Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of

Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt,

saying,

[2] You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I

will punish you for all your iniquities.

[3] Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

[4] Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion

cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

[5] Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall

one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?

[6] Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall

there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

[7] Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto

his servants the prophets.

[8] The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who

can but prophesy?

[9] Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of

Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria,

and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed

in the midst thereof.

[10] For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence

and robbery in their palaces.

[11] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even

round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee,

and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

[12] Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion

two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out

that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.

[13] Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the

God of hosts,

[14] That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon

him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall

be cut off, and fall to the ground.

[15] And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses

of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.



Amos 4



Second Pronouncement of Punishment



1 (Ps 22:12; Eze 39:18) Hear this word, you cows of Bashan,

who are on the mountain of Samaria,

who oppress the poor and crush the needy,

who say to their husbands, "Bring us something to drink!"

2 (Ps 89:35; Jer 16:16) The Lord God has sworn by His holiness:

Indeed the days are coming upon you

when they will take you away with hooks,

the last one of you with fishhooks.

3 (Eze 12:5; 12:12) You will go out through breached walls,

every one straight ahead of her;

you will be exiled to Harmon,

says the Lord.

4 (Eze 20:39; Hos 4:15) Come to Bethel and transgress,

to Gilgal and multiply transgression;

bring your sacrifices every morning

and your tithes every three days.

5 (Lev 22:18-21; Ps 81:12) Burn leavened bread as a thank offering;

announce your voluntary offerings loudly,

for so you love to do, O children of Israel,

says the Lord God.

6 (Hag 2:17; Jer 5:3) Though I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities

and lack of food in all your places,

yet you did not return to Me,

says the Lord.

7 (Ex 9:26; 9:4) I also withheld the rain from you,

when there were still three months to the harvest.

I would send rain on one town,

and send no rain on another town.

One field would receive rain,

but another field without rain would wither.

8 (1Ki 18:5; Am 4:6) So two or three towns wandered

to one town to drink water,

but they were not satisfied;

yet you did not return to Me,

says the Lord.

9 (Dt 28:22; Hag 2:17) I struck you with blight and mildew.

Locusts devoured your many gardens and vineyards,

your fig trees and olive trees;

yet you did not return to Me,

says the Lord.

10 (Lev 26:25; Dt 28:60) Pestilence like that of Egypt

I sent against you.

By the sword I killed your young men;

your horses were taken captive.

The stench of your camps I brought up into your nostrils;

yet you did not return to Me,

says the Lord.

11 (Isa 13:19; Zec 3:2) I destroyed some of you,

as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

You were like a firebrand plucked out of the fire;

yet you did not return to Me,

says the Lord.

12 Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel,

and because I will do this to you,

prepare to meet your God, O Israel!

13 (Am 5:8; 9:6; Mic 1:3) The One who forms the mountains

and creates the wind,

who reveals His thoughts to man,

who turns the darkness into dawn

and strides on the heights of the earth-

the Lord, the God of Hosts, is His name.



Amos 4

[1] Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria,

which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters,

Bring, and let us drink.

[2] The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall

come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity

with fishhooks.

[3] And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before

her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.

[4] Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression;

and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

[5] And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and

publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel,

saith the Lord GOD.

[6] And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want

of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

[7] And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three

months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it

not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece

whereupon it rained not withered.

[8] So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they

were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

[9] I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your

vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm

devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

[10] I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your

young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses;

and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils:

yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

[11] I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,

and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning:

yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

[12] Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this

unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.

[13] For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and

declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness,

and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts,

is his name.

Amos 5



Third Pronouncement of Punishment



1 (Eze 19:1; Jer 7:29) Hear this word which I take up as a dirge against you,

O house of Israel:

2 (Jer 14:17) Fallen, no more to rise

is maiden Israel;

forsaken on her land,

with no one to raise her up.

3 For thus says the Lord God:

The city that went out with a thousand

will be left with a hundred,

and the one that went out with a hundred

will be left with ten for the house of Israel.

4 (Isa 55:3; 2Ch 15:2) Indeed, thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:

Seek Me and live!

5 (Am 4:4; 8:14) But do not seek Bethel,

and do not enter into Gilgal

or cross over to Beersheba;

for Gilgal will surely go into captivity,

and Bethel shall be no more.

6 (Am 5:4) Seek the Lord and live,

or He will break out like fire in the house of Joseph,

and it will devour Bethel,

with no one to quench it.

7 (Am 6:12) You who turn justice into bitterness

and cast righteousness down to the ground!

8 (Am 4:13; Job 9:9; Ps 104:20) The One who made the Pleiades and Orion,

who turns the deep darkness into dawn

and darkens the day into night,

who summons the waters of the sea

and pours them out on the surface of the earth-

the Lord is His name,

9 the One who flashes destruction against the strong,

so that destruction comes against the fortress.

10 (1Ki 22:8; Isa 29:21) They hate the one who prosecutes at the gate,

and abhor the one who speaks with integrity.

11 (Mic 6:15; Dt 28:30) Therefore, because you trample on the poor

and take from him a levy of wheat,

though you have built houses of hewn stone,

you will not dwell in them;

though you have planted pleasant vineyards,

you will not drink their wine.

12 (Am 2:6-7; 1Sa 8:3) For I know your transgressions are many

and your sins are grievous,

you who oppress the just,

who take a bribe and subvert the needy at the gate.

13 (Ecc 3:7; Hos 4:4) Therefore the prudent are silent at such a time,

for it is an evil time.

14 (Mic 3:11) Seek good and not evil, so that you may live;

then the Lord, the God of Hosts, will truly be with you,

as you claim.

15 (Ps 97:10; Joel 2:14) Hate evil and love good, and establish justice

at the gate. It may then be that the Lord God of Hosts will be gracious

to the remnant of Joseph.

16 (Joel 1:11; Jer 9:10) Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Hosts,

the Lord:

Wailing will be in all the squares,

and in all the streets they will say, "Alas! Alas!"

They shall call the farmer to mourning,

and to wailing those skilled in lamentation.

17 (Ex 12:12; Isa 16:10) In all vineyards there shall be wailing,

for I will pass through you,

says the Lord.



[1] Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation,

O house of Israel.

[2] The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken

upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

[3] For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall

leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten,

to the house of Israel.

[4] For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye

shall live:

[5] But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba:

for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.

[6] Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the

house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.

[7] Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the

earth,

[8] Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow

of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth

for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth:

The LORD is his name:

[9] That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled

shall come against the fortress.

[10] They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that

speaketh uprightly.

[11] Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take

from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall

not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards,

but ye shall not drink wine of them.

[12] For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they

afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the

gate from their right.

[13] Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an

evil time.

[14] Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD,

the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

[15] Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate:

it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of

Joseph.

[16] Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing

shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways,

Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning,

and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.

[17] And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee,

saith the LORD.



The Day of the Lord Is Darkness



18 (Joel 1:15; Isa 5:19) Woe to you that desire

the day of the Lord!

Why do you want the day of the Lord?

It is darkness, and not light,

19 (Isa 24:17-18; Jer 15:2-3) as if someone fled away from a lion,

but a bear attacked him,

or got into the house

and rested his hand on the wall,

but a snake bit him.

20 (Isa 13:10) Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light?

Will it not be deep darkness, with no brightness in it?

21 (Lev 26:31; Isa 1:11-16) I hate, I despise your festivals,

and I am not pleased by your solemn assemblies.

22 (Isa 66:3; Mic 6:6-7) Though you offer Me burnt offerings

or your grain offerings,

I will not accept them,

nor will I regard the offerings

of your fattened animals.

23 (Am 6:5; 8:3) Take away from Me the noise of your songs;

I will not listen to the melody of your harps.

24 (Mic 6:8) But let justice roll down like water,

and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

25 (Ac 7:42-43; Jos 24:14) Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings

those forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

26 But you will carry away Sukuth your king

and Kaiwan your star-images,

your gods that you made for yourselves,

27 (2Ki 17:6; Am 4:13) as I drive you away into exile beyond Damascus,

says the Lord, whose name is the God of Hosts.



[18] Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for

you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

[19] As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the

house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

[20] Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very

dark, and no brightness in it?

[21] I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your

solemn assemblies.

[22] Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not

accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

[23] Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the

melody of thy viols.

[24] But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty

stream.

[25] Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness

forty years, O house of Israel?

[26] But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images,

the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

[27] Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith

the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.



Amos 6



Woe to the Complacent



1 (Isa 32:9-11; Am 4:1) Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,

and to those confident on the mount of Samaria,

nobles of the first of the nations,

to whom the house of Israel comes!

2 (Na 3:8; Ge 10:10; 2Ki 18:34) Cross over to Kalneh and see,

and go from there to Hamath the great;

then go down to Gath of the Philistines-

are you better than these kingdoms?

Or is their territory greater than your territory?

3 (Am 9:10; Isa 56:12) You who brush off the day of disaster,

but bring on a session of lawlessness;

4 (Am 3:12; Jas 5:5) who lie upon beds of ivory, and lounge on their couches,

eating lambs from the flock and calves from the stall;

5 (Isa 5:12; Am 5:23) who sing to the sound of the harp

and invent musical instruments for themselves like David;

6 who drink from bowls of wine

and anoint themselves with the finest oils,

but are not grieved over the destruction of Joseph.

7 (Am 7:11; 1Ki 20:16-20) Therefore now they will go

at the head of the captives into exile,

and the revelry of those who are lounging will vanish.

8 (Ps 47:4; Jer 51:14)The Lord God hath sworn by Himself,

an oracle of the Lord the God of Hosts:

I abhor the pride of Jacob

and hate his palaces,

so I will deliver up the city

with all that is in it.

9 (Am 5:3) If there remain ten people in one house, they will die.

10 (1Sa 31:12; Am 8:3) And when a relative or one who prepares

the bodies picks them up to carry them out of the house,

and says to someone in the recesses of the house,

"Is anyone else with you?" and he says, "No," he will say,

"Hush!" not to pronounce the name of the Lord.

11 (Am 3:15; Isa 55:11) But indeed the Lord gives a command,

and He will shatter the great house to bits,

and the small house to pieces.

12 (Am 5:7; Hos 10:4) Can horses run on a rocky crag?

Can one plow the sea with oxen?

But you have turned justice into poison,

and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

13 (Isa 28:14-15; Lk 12:19-20) you who rejoice in Lo Debar, who say,

"Is it not by our own strength that we captured Karnaim?"

14 (1Ki 8:65; 2Ki 14:25) Watch: I will raise up against you a nation,

O house of Israel,

says the Lord, the God of Hosts,

and they will oppress you

from Lebo Hamath to the Wadi Arabah.

1) Amos 1, Amos 2, Amos 3, Amos 4, Amos 5, Amos 6



Amos 1



Judgment Against Israel's Neighbors



1 (2Sa 14:2; Hos 1:1) The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds

of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah

and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel two years

before the earthquake.

2 (Joel 3:16; Isa 42:13) He said:

The Lord roars from Zion

and utters His voice from Jerusalem;

the pastures of the shepherds languish,

the top of Carmel withers.

3 (Isa 8:4; Am 1:9) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Damascus,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they have threshed Gilead

with threshing sledges of iron.

4 (2Ki 6:24; Jer 49:27) So I will send fire against the house of Hazael,

and it will devour the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.

5 (2Ki 16:9; Jer 51:30; Am 9:7) I will break the gate bar of Damascus;

from the Valley of Aven I will cut off the one enthroned,

and from Beth Eden the one who holds the scepter.

The people of Aram will go into captivity to Kir,

says the Lord.

6 (2Ch 28:18; 1Sa 6:17) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Gaza,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they carried away into exile an entire deportation,

to deliver them up to Edom.

7 So I will send fire against the wall of Gaza,

and it will devour its fortresses.

8 (Eze 25:16; Isa 14:29-31; Zep 2:4-7) From Ashdod I will cut off

the one enthroned and from Ashkelon the one who holds the scepter.

I will turn My hand against Ekron,

and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,

says the Lord God.

9 (1Ki 9:11-14; Isa 23:1-18) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Tyre,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they delivered up an entire deportation to Edom,

and did not remember the covenant of kinship.

10 (Zec 9:4) So I will send fire against the wall of Tyre,

and it will devour its fortresses.

11 (2Ch 28:17; Nu 20:14-21) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Edom,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because he pursued his brother with the sword,

and repressed all pity;

his anger tore with no ceasing,

and his wrath persisted with no end.

12 (Jer 49:7; 49:20) So I will send fire against Teman,

and it will devour the fortresses of Bozrah.

13 (Hos 13:16; Jer 49:1-6) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of the Ammonites,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,

in order to enlarge their border.

14 (Dt 3:11; Am 2:2) So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah,

and it will devour its fortresses,

with a war cry on the day of battle,

with a tempest on the day of the whirlwind.

15 (Jer 49:3) Their king shall go into captivity,

he and his princes together,

says the Lord.



Amos 1

[1] The words of Amos, who was among the herdman of Tekoa, which he saw

concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of

Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

[2] And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from

Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of

Carmel shall wither.

[3] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four,

I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed

Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:

[4] But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the

palaces of Ben-hadad.

[5] I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from

the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden:

and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.

[6] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I

will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive

the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:

[7] But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces

thereof:

[8] And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the

sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the

remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.

[9] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I

will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the

whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

[10] But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the

palaces thereof.

[11] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four,

I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his

brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear

perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

[12] But I will send a fire upon Teman,

which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

[13] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon,

and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have

ripped up the women with child of Gilead,

that they might enlarge their border:

[14] But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the

palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day

of the whirlwind:

[15] And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together,

saith the LORD.



Amos 2

1 (Isa 15:1-9; Zep 2:8-9) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Moab,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because he burned to lime

the bones of the king of Edom.

2 (Jer 48:24; 48:41) So I will send fire against Moab,

and it will devour the fortresses of Kerioth;

Moab will die in uproar,

with a war cry and the alarm of the trumpet.

3 (Jer 48:7) I will cut off the ruler from its midst,

and will slay all its princes with him,

says the Lord.



[1] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four,

I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones

of the king of Edom into lime:

[2] But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of

Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound

of the trumpet:

[3] And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all

the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.



Judgment Against Judah



4 (Eze 20:24; 20:13; 20:16) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Judah,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they have rejected the law of the Lord,

and have not kept His commandments.

The lies which their fathers followed

have led them astray.

5 (Jer 17:27; Hos 8:14) So I will send fire against Judah,

and it will devour the fortresses of Jerusalem.



[4] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four,

I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the

law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused

them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:

[5] But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces

of Jerusalem.



Judgment Against Israel



6 (Joel 3:3; 2Ki 18:12) Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Israel,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they sell the righteous for silver,

and the poor for a pair of sandals.

7 (Am 5:12; Isa 10:2) They trample the head of the poor

into the dust of the earth,

and push the oppressed out of the way.

A man and his father go in to the same woman,

profaning My holy name.

8 (Am 6:6) They recline by every altar

on garments taken in pledge,

and in the house of their gods

they drink the wine from those who have been fined.

9 (Mal 4:1; Nu 13:32-33) Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,

whose height was like the height of the cedars.

He was strong as the oaks,

yet I destroyed his fruit above

and his roots below.

10 (Ex 12:51; Dt 2:7) It was I who brought you up from the land of Egypt,

and led you forty years through the wilderness,

to possess the land of the Amorite.

11 I raised up some of your sons as prophets,

and some of your young men as Nazirites.

Is it not so, O children of Israel?

says the Lord.

12 (Isa 30:10; Am 7:13) But you made the Nazirites drink wine,

and commanded the prophets, saying, "Do not prophesy."

13 (Isa 1:14) Indeed I will slow you down,

as a wagon is slowed that is full of sheaves.

14 (Jer 9:23; Ps 33:16) Flight will perish from the swift,

the strong will not retain his strength,

nor will the warrior save his life.

15 The bowman will not stand firm,

the swift-footed will not escape,

nor will the horseman save his life.

16 (Jdg 4:17; Jer 48:4)1 He that is courageous among the warriors

will flee away naked on that day,

says the Lord.

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:20-25



20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4-5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,

those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:

thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."



A Light Under a Basket



Lk 8:16-18



21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put

under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;

neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.

23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.

The measure you give will be measured for you,

and to you who hear will more be given.

25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.

And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."



20 And these are they which are sown on good ground;

such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,

some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put

under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;

neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,

it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25 For he that hath, to him shall be given:

and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



Hebrews 4:14-16



Jesus the Great High Priest



14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2-3) Since then we have a great High Priest

Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold firmly to our confession.

15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest

who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses,

but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6-7) Let us then come with confidence

to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy

and find grace to help in time of need.



14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest,

that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest

which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;

but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly

unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,

and find grace to help in time of need.



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.

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



Under the Keep Praying page



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

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

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

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

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

decorated and festivals will be held.



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

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

Islam.



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

which means Blessed Eid!"



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

know, and Muslims around the world:



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

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

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

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

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

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

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

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



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

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

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



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

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



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

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

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



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

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

Jonah 4



Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion



1 Now this greatly displeased Jonah, and he became angry.

2 He prayed to the Lord and said, "O Lord! Is this not

what I said while I was still in my own land?

This is the reason that I fled before to Tarshish,

because I knew that You are a gracious God and merciful,

slow to anger, abundant in faithfulness, and ready to relent from punishment.

3 Therefore, Lord, take my life from me,

for it is better for me to die than to live."

4 Then the Lord said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"

5 So Jonah went out of the city and sat down east of the city

and made for himself a booth there. He sat under it in the shade,

waiting to see what would happen to the city.

6 Then the Lord God appointed a plant, and it grew up over Jonah to provide

shade over his head, to provide comfort from his grief.

And Jonah was very happy about the plant.

7 But at dawn the next day, God appointed a worm to attack the plant

so that it withered.

8 When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind,

and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah so that he became

faint and asked that he might die.

He said, "It is better for me to die than to live."

9 Then God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?"

And Jonah replied, "It is right for me to be angry, even to death."

10 The Lord said, "You are troubled about the plant

for which you did not labor and did not grow.

It came up in a night and perished in a night.

11 Should I not, therefore, be concerned about Nineveh,

that great city, in which there are

more than a hundred and twenty thousand people,

who do not know their right hand from their left, and also many animals?"



[1] But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

[2] And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this

my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto

Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to

anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.

[3] Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is

better for me to die than to live.

[4] Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?

[5] So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and

there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see

what would become of the city.

[6] And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah,

that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So

Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

[7] But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote

the gourd that it withered.

[8] And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a

vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he

fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die

than to live.

[9] And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?

And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.

[10] Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which

thou

hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and

perished in a night:

[11] And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than

sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and

their left hand; and also much cattle?



2) Our Daily Bread for 6 July 2026 titled Thriving in God's Presence

By Kenneth Petersen



2 Samuel 6:9-15



The Ark Brought to Jerusalem



1Ch 13:1-14; 15:25-16:3



9 (Ps 119:120) David feared the Lord that day, and he thought,

"How can the ark of the Lord come to me?"

10 (1Ch 26:4-8) So David did not allow the ark of the Lord

to be brought to him in the City of David. Instead,

David redirected it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

11 (Ge 30:27; 39:5) The ark of the Lord remained at the house of Obed-Edom

the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom

and his entire household.



2 Samuel 6



[9] And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark

of the LORD come to me?

[10] So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of

David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

[11] And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite

three months: and the LORD blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.



2 SAMUEL 6

12 (1Ki 8:1) When it was reported to King David,

"The Lord has blessed Obed-Edom and everything that belongs to him,

for the sake of the ark of God," David went and brought up the ark of God

from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.



2 Samuel 6

[12] And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of

Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So

David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into

the city of David with gladness

[13] And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone

six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

[14] And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was

girded with a linen ephod.

[15] So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD

with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.



Zoologists describe what they call "turtle dancing" - the charming behaviour

of loggerhead turtles when they are in the presence of food. The turtles

tilt their bodies vertically, open their mouths, clap their front flippers,

and spin around in the water. But research has shown that radio-wave

interference can disrupt the turtle's internal "GPS." It confuses their

navigation, distracts them from their food source, and, sadly,

stops their dancing.



The Bible tells of a time when David danced. The ark of the covenant

conveyed the very presence of God. At a certain time, the ark was brought to

Jerusalem and "David was dancing before the Lord with all his might"

(2 Samuel 6:14). But years later, the king became distracted. He sinned with

Bathsheba, sending her husband to death in war (11:4, 14-15). Now the child

he'd borne with her was dying. In remorse and anguish, David

"fasted and spent the nights lying in sackcloth on the ground" (12:16).



Like David, we thrive in the presence of God, but our sin distracts us from

Him, and we stop "dancing." How can we find our joy again? By turning from the

sin that confuses our connection to God. When we repent, we find hope in Him.

David himself writes of God's mercy: "You turned my wailing into dancing;

you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy" (Psalm 30:11).

God, after all, is the true Lord of the dance.



Reflect & Pray



When have you "danced" for God? What has led you away from that?



Dear God, I've gone so long in this dark time.

There is no joy. Please help me to dance again.



3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association



Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools



Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 2 - The Right of Family



John 1:11-12



11 (Jn 3:32) He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him.

12 (Gal 3:26; 1Jn 3:23) Yet to all who received Him, He gave the power

to become sons of God, to those who believed in His name,



11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power

to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:



"Dad, can I ask you something?" Jimmy leaned across the back of his

father's chair. His father lowered the newspaper and reached around,

settling Jimmy on his lap.

"Sure. Son," he answered. "You can ask me anything you want. The answer

might not be Yes, but you always have the right to ask."

For many who have grown up in homes where the father was absent, or when

present, abusive or silent, the scenario of Jimmy and his father may

seem unrealistic. Often we aren't given the right by our parents to ask

what we want, to communicate openly, to express our needs and desires.

But god clearly indicates that no matter what our human families have been

like, in his family there are no barriers to belonging,

to open communications. When we commit our lives to Christ and submit to his

lordship, we have the right to become the sons and daughters of God.

In Christ, we have the right to approach him, to pray, to seek wisdom,

to ask advice, to make requests, to verbalise our needs and desires. We don't

have to be afraid of sounding stupid or being rejected, because in Christ

we belong to him, and he loves us.

The KJV uses the word "power" in verse 12 - "to them gave he power to become

the sons of God." Power implies ability, that we are equipped by the Spirit

to be children of the King. We have the right and we have the power to become

who God has called us to be - his children.



Application



a) Under what circumstances in my life have I felt that I didn't

have the right to express my wishes or feelings?



b) How do today's verses give me confidence in approaching God?
