Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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, ...) .

it says to those who are under the law,

in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

2) Our Daily Bread for 16 June 2026 titled

The Way of Holiness By Amy Boucher Pye



Isaiah 35:8-10



8 (Isa 52:1; 11:16) A highway shall be there, a roadway,

and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.

The unclean shall not pass on it,

but it shall be for the wayfaring men,

and fools shall not wander on it.

9 (Isa 62:12) No lion shall be there,

nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it;

these shall not be found there,

but the redeemed shall walk there,

10 (Rev 21:4; Isa 25:8) and the ransomed of the Lord shall return

and come to Zion with songs

and everlasting joy upon their heads.

They shall obtain joy and gladness,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.



[8] And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way

of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those:

the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

[9] No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it

shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

[10] And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs

and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness,

and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.



After Jennifer was diagnosed with early onset dementia, she couldn't read the

Bible easily, so she started listening to it. Scripture passages now mean

something new to her. For example, she gets lost easily, often doesn't know

who people are, and sees hallucinations of wild animals. When she's

disoriented and fearful, she receives God's comfort as she hears Isaiah speak

of "the Way of Holiness" set aside "for those who walk on that Way" (Isaiah

35:8). On that road will be no wicked fools, "nor any ravenous beast";

instead, "only the redeemed will walk there," those whom God rescues (v. 9).



The prophet Isaiah shared God’s promises to His people, those exiled from

their home. Away from the temple, where they would experience His presence,

they must have felt bereft and forlorn. The promises, therefore, of the Way

of Holiness, the path to God, would give them hope and strength. To think of

entering "Zion with singing," without fear or sorrow, would lead them

to rejoice (v. 10).



Even as Jennifer holds on to these assurances from centuries ago, so too can

we who believe in Jesus trust that as we journey with Him, we'll know gladness

and joy (v. 10). Whatever trials we face in this life - however taxing or

life-altering - we know that God's way leads us home to Him.



Reflect & Pray



What do these promises from God mean to you?

As you experience trials outside of your control, how can you turn to Him?



Saving God, please help me to release my fears to You

as I walk on the Way of Holiness. I long to be with You.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



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



Philippians 1:6



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

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

until the day of Jesus Christ.



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

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



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

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

rarely brings then to completion."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

changed weren't on my list at all!"

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

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

has begun, he will finish.



Application



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

needed dealing with?



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



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

have confidence in the direction of my life?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Malachi 3:10-12



10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in

My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not

open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing,

that there will not be room enough to receive it.

11 I will rebuke the devourer

for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground,

and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,

says the Lord of Hosts.

12 Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be

a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.



10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in

mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not

open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall

not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy

the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit

before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be

a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.



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



When you are Worried Over Money



Matt 6:19-21



Treasures in Heaven



Lk 12:33-34



19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth

and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.

20 But store up

for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy

and where thieves do not break in nor steal,

21 for where your treasure is,

there will your heart be also.



19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth

and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth

nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.



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.

Proverbs 26

1 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest,

so honor is not seemly for a fool.

2 (Nu 23:8; 2Sa 16:12) As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying,

so the curse without cause will not alight.

3 (Ps 32:9; Pr 10:13) A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey,

and a rod for the fool's back.

4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly,

lest you also be like unto him.

5 (Pr 28:11; Mt 16:1--4) Answer a fool according to his folly,

lest he be wise in his own conceit.

6 (Pr 10:26) He who sends a message by the hand of a fool

cuts off the feet and drinks violence.

7 (Pr 26:9) The legs of the lame are not equal;

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

8 (Pr 26:1) As he who binds a stone in a sling,

so is he who gives honor to a fool.

9 (Pr 23:35) As a thorn goes into the hand of a drunkard,

so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

10 The great God who formed all things

rewards the fool and rewards the transgressor.

11 (Ex 8:15; 2Pe 2:22) As a dog returns to its vomit,

so a fool returns to his folly.

12 (Pr 29:20; Mt 21:31; Pr 26:5) Do you see a man wise in his own conceit?

There is more hope for a fool than for him.

13 (Pr 22:13) The slothful man says, "There is a lion in the way!

A lion is in the streets!"

14 As the door turns upon his hinges,

so does the slothful upon his bed.

15 (Pr 19:24) The slothful buries his hand in his bowl;

it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.

16 (Pr 26:12) The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit

than seven men who can answer reasonably.

17 He who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him

is like one who takes a dog by the ears.

18 As a madman who casts

firebrands, arrows, and death,

19 (Eph 5:4) so is the man who deceives his neighbor,

and says, "I was only joking."

20 (Pr 22:10; 16:28) Where there is no wood, the fire goes out;

so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases.

21 (Pr 15:18; 29:22) As charcoal is to burning coals, and wood to fire,

so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

22 (Pr 18:8) The words of a talebearer are as wounds,

and go down into the innermost parts of the body.

23 Burning lips and a wicked heart

are like earthenware covered with silver dross.

24 (Pr 12:20) He who hates dissembles with his lips,

and lays up deceit within him;

25 (Ps 28:3) when he speaks kindly, do not believe him,

for there are seven abominations in his heart;

26 though his hatred is covered by deceit,

his wickedness will be shown before the whole congregation.

27 (Pr 28:10; Est 7:10) Whoever digs a pit will fall into it,

and he who rolls a stone, it will return upon him.

28 (Pr 29:5 ) A lying tongue hates those who are afflicted by it,

and a flattering mouth works ruin.



[1] As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly

for a fool.

[2] As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse

causeless shall not come.

[3] A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.

[4] Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

[5] Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

[6] He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet,

and drinketh damage.

[7] The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.

[8] As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a

fool.

[9] As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the

mouth of fools.

[10] The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and

rewardeth transgressors.

[11] As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

[12] Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool

than of him.

[13] The slothful man saith, There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the

streets.

[14] As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

[15] The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it

again to his mouth.

[16] The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render

a reason.

[17] He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is

like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

[18] As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

[19] So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?

[20] Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no

talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

[21] As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious

man to kindle strife.

[22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the

innermost parts of the belly.

[23] Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver

dross.

[24] He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

[25] When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations

in his heart.

[26] Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed

before the whole congregation.

[27] Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it

will return upon him.

[28] A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering

mouth worketh ruin.

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



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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.

2) Our Daily Bread for 15 June 2026 titled Giving from God's

Gifts by Leslie Koh



2 Corinthians 9:6-15





6 (Pr 22:9; Lk 6:38) But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap

sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 (Ex 25:2; 2Co 8:12) Let every man give according to the purposes

in his heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful

giver.

8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that you,

always having enough of everything, may abound to every good work.

9 (Ps 112:9) As it is written:

"He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor;

His righteousness remains forever."(Ps 112:9.)

10 (Isa 55:10; Hos 10:12) Now He who supplies seed to the sower and supplies

bread for your food will also multiply your seed sown and increase the fruits

of your righteousness.

11 (2Co 1:11; 1Co 1:5) So you will be enriched in everything to all

bountifulness, which makes us give thanks to God.

12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the need

of the saints, but is abundant also through many thanksgivings to God.

13 (Mt 5:16) Meanwhile, through the performance of this ministry,

they glorify God for the profession of your faith in the gospel of Christ

and for your liberal sharing with them and with all others.

14 And in their prayer for you, they long for you because of the surpassing

grace of God in you.

15 (2Co 2:14; Jn 3:16) Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.



[6] But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and

he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not

grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

[8] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always

having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

[9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor:

his righteousness remaineth for ever.

[10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your

food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your

righteousness;)

[11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth

through us thanksgiving to God.

[12] For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of

the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

[13] Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your

professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal

distribution unto them, and unto all men;

[14] And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding

grace of God in you.

[15] Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.



Stanley's generosity never ceased to amaze me. He often bought meals and gifts

for elderly church members, cleaners in his neighbourhood, or anyone who

needed cheering up.



Equally amazing was that even though Stanley wasn't wealthy or savvy at

investing, his small investment did impressively well, enabling him to keep

giving. Whenever someone thanked him, he’d point upwards and smile, as if

to say, "It came from God, not me." God, he often said, helped him to help

others.



This was what Paul alluded to in 2 Corinthians 9 as he wrote about giving.

Proud of the Corinthians' readiness to help fellow believers (v. 2), he hoped

to pick up a collection they had started (v. 3). Imploring them to give

generously and cheerfully, he noted that God would not only reward those who

gave (vv. 6-7) but also bless people so they could give even more (v. .



God doesn't expect us to give what we're unable to give (8:12). Rather, He

entrusts us with money, time, or talent to "abound in every good work" (9:8),

and He supplies what we need so

we "can be generous on every occasion" (v. 11). That's why we can give in

faith and with a cheerful heart (v. 7), knowing that we give only from what

we've been given. In the process, we bring praise to God’s name (v. 13).



Reflect & Pray



What has God given to you?

To whom can you give today, sharing from what you've received?



Dear God, please open my eyes to Your blessings and

open my heart to bless others generously and cheerfully.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 2 - God's purpose: The Image of Christ



Romans 8:28-29



28 (Gal 1:15; Ge 50:20) We know that all things work together for

good to those who love God,

to those who are called according to His purpose.

29 (Ro 11:2; 1Co 15:49; Eph 1:11) For those whom He foreknew,

He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,

so that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.



28 And we know that all things work together for good to them

that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed

to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.



A baby dies of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and the parents are

devastated, plagued with guilt, and Asking "Why?" A 17-year-old plunges

headfirst into a pond and to the surface a quadriplegic. A single mother

of 3, struck down by leukemia, has to release he children to foster homes.

And in all these cases, well-meaning Christians stand by and attempt to

comfort: "All things work together for good, you know," they say blithely,

"just trust God, and praise him for everything."

Such pat answers are often repeated because they do contain an element

of truth; they become "pat", meaningless, and superficial, when they are

used as a panacea for all ills, whether the cure fits or not.

The truth is, God does use everything for the benefit of his people -

even disaster and tragedy. Romans 8:28 says, "In all things God works ...."

God foes not cause human suffering. He is not the author of pain

and misery. But what the Enemy of our souls intends for

destruction, God can use for growth.

The key to understanding Romans 8:28 is Romans 8:29 . The Lord makes

clear what "his purpose" is: that we be "conformed to the

likeness of his Son." Everything that happens is not good,

but nothing is wasted in the economy of God. Even the sorrow,

misfortune, and calamity that strike all of us cam be used by the Spirit

to transform us into the image of Christ.



Application



a) Have I ever had experiences that made me doubt the

"all things work together for good"?



b) How does Romans 8:29 clarify Romans 8:28?



c) How can these verses help me deal with the struggles I have in my

own life?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



2 Cor 9:6



6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,

and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.



6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly;

and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.



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



When you are Worried Over Money



1 Tim 6:6-10



6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain

that we can carry nothing out.

8 If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with these things.

9 But those who desire

to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish

and harmful lusts, which drown men in ruin and destruction.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil.

While coveting after money, some have strayed from the faith

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

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



6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain

we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9 But they that will

be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish

and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is the root of all evil:

which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.



Remember God's promises when You pray

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,

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

1) 2 Chronicles 8

1 Kings 9:15-28



2 Chronicles 8

Solomon's Other Activities

1Ki 9:10-28



1 It came that after twenty years, Solomon built the house of the Lord

and his royal house,

2 and Solomon even rebuilt the cities that Hiram had given to him,

and he settled the sons of Israel in them.

3 Then Solomon went to Hamath Zobah and seized it.

4 He also built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the store cities

that he built in Hamath.

5 (1Ch 7:24; Jos 16:3) He also built the Upper and Lower Beth Horon,

fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,

6 and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the cities

for his chariots, the cities for his cavalry, and whatever Solomon desired

to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

7 And all the people who remained from the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,

Hivites, and Jebusites who were not from Israel,

8 (Jos 16:10; 1Ki 4:6) and from their descendants who remained from

these peoples in the land and whom the sons of Israel did not finish

destroying, Solomon brought them up to be forced labor, even to this day.

9 But from the sons of Israel Solomon did not make servants for his work.

These were his soldiers, officers, commanders of his chariots, and horsemen.

10 And these were the two hundred and fifty chief officers for King Solomon

who governed the people.

11 (1Ki 3:1; 7:8) And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh

from the City of David to the house that he built for her, for he said,

"My wife will not live in the house of David king of Israel,

for the places where the ark of the Lord have been are holy."

12 (2Ch 4:1) At that time Solomon offered up burnt offerings on the altar

of the Lord that he built before the vestibule,

13 (Dt 16:16; Ex 23:14-17) according to the daily duty to offer up

as the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons,

and the three annual festivals: the Feast of Unleavened Bread,

the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

14 (1Ch 9:17; Ne 12:24) According to the ruling of David his father,

he set the divisions of the priests for their service,

and the Levites for their function to praise

and serve before the priests according to the daily duty,

and even the gatekeepers for their divisions at each gate,

for this was the commandment of David the man of God.

15 And they did not turn from the commandment of the king,

whether the priests or Levites, concerning any matter

and concerning the treasury.

16 So all the work of Solomon was established from the day of the foundation

of the house of the Lord and until its completion;

and the house of the Lord was complete.

17 (2Ki 14:22; Dt 2:8) Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber

and Elath at the shore of the sea in Edom.

18 (2Ch 9:10; 9:13) And Hiram sent him ships by the hand of his servants,

who knew the sea. And they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir,

and took from there four hundred and fifty talents

[About 17 tons, or 15 metric tons.] of gold, and brought them to King Solomon.



2 Chronicles 8

Solomon's Reign

1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built

the house of the LORD, and his own house,

2 that the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them,

and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed against it.

4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities,

which he built in Hamath.

5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether,

fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;

6 and Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot

cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build

in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.

7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and

the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,

8 but of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the

children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until

this day.

9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but

they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots

and horsemen.

10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers,

even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.

11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David

unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not

dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy,

whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.

12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the

LORD, which he had built before the porch,

13 even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment

of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts,

three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the

feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.

14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses

of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise

and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required:

the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man

of God commanded.

15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests

and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.

16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation

of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished.

So the house of the LORD was perfected.

17 Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side

in the land of Edom.

18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships,

and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants

of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold,

and brought them to king Solomon.



1 Kings 9



15 (Jos 17:11; 2Sa 5:9) This is the account of the forced labor

which King Solomon conscripted to build the house of the Lord

and his own house, Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 (1Ki 3:1) For Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had gone up against

and conquered Gezer and burned it with fire and slain the Canaanites

that lived in the city and given it as a present to his daughter,

Solomon's wife.

17 (Jos 16:3; 21:22) Solomon built Gezer and Lower Beth Horon

18 (Jos 19:44) and Baalath and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

19 (1Ki 9:1) and all the storage cities that Solomon had,

cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen and all that which

Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon

and in all the land of his dominion.

20 All the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,

Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not children of Israel,

21 (Jos 15:63; 17:12) the descendants of those who were left in the land

and whom the people of Israel were not able to utterly destroy,

were conscripted by Solomon for slave labor to this day.

22 (Lev 25:39) But Solomon did not make any children of Israel into slaves,

but instead used them as men of war, as his servants, his leaders,

his captains, rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.

23 (1Ki 5:16; 2Ch 8:10) These were the chief officers over Solomon's work,

five hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people who did the labor.

24 (2Sa 5:9; 1Ki 7:8) But Pharaoh's daughter moved out of the City of David

to her house which Solomon had built for her, and he then built Millo.

25 (Ex 23:14-17; Dt 16:16) Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings

and peace offerings on the altar that he built to the Lord, and he burned

incense on the altar that was before the Lord. So he finished the house.

26 (1Ki 22:48; Nu 33:35; Dt 2:8) King Solomon built a fleet of ships

in Ezion Geber, which is beside Elath on the shore of the Red Sea

in the land of Edom.

27 (1Ki 5:6; 5:9) Hiram sent shipmen who had knowledge of the sea

to serve alongside Solomon's men.

28 (1Ch 29:4; 2Ch 8:18) They went to Ophir and acquired 420 talents

[About 16 tons, or 14 metric tons. ]

of gold there and brought it to King Solomon.



15 And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build

the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall

of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it

with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for

a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.

17 And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,

18 and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

19 and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots,

and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in

Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

20 And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,

Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,

21 their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children

of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy

a tribute of bondservice unto this day.

22 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were

men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers

of his chariots, and his horsemen.

23 These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five

hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.

24 But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house

which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.

25 And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace

offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense

upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

26 And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside

Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge

of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

28 And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold,

four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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.

Serving Side by Side by Anne Cetas



Nehemiah 2:17-18,3:6-12



17 (Ne 1:3; Eze 5:14; Ps 44:13) Finally, I said to them, "You see the distress

that we are in, how Jerusalem is devastated and its gates are burned

with fire. Come, and let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will

no more be a reproach."

18 (2Sa 2:7) Then I told them that the hand of my God had been good to me

and also about the king's words that he had spoken to me.

And they said, "Let us rise up and build!"



[17] Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how

Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and

let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

[18] Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also

the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up

and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.



6 (Ne 12:39) Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah

repaired the Old Gate. They constructed its beams, erected its doors,

and installed locks and bars for it.

7 Next to them repairs were made by Melatiah the Gibeonite

and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah,

places under the authority of the governor of the province Beyond the River.

8 (Ne 12:38; 3:31-32) Next to them Uzziel the son of Harhaiah,

one of the goldsmiths, made repairs. Next to him Hananiah,

the son of one of the apothecaries, made repairs, and they repaired Jerusalem

as far as the Broad Wall.

9 (Ne 3:12; 3:17) Next to him Rephaiah the son of Hur, commander of half

of the Jerusalem district, made repairs.

10 Next to him Jedaiah the son of Harumaph made repairs across from his house.

Next to him Hattush the son of Hashabneiah made repairs.

11 (Ne 12:38) Malkijah the son of Harim and Hasshub the son of Pahath-Moab

repaired another section, as well as the Tower of the Furnaces.

12 (Ne 3:9) Next to them Shallum the son of Hallohesh,

commander of the other half of the Jerusalem district, made repairs

along with his daughters.



[6] Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam

the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors

thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.

[7] And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the

Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the

governor on this side the river.

[8] Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths.

Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries,

and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.

[9] And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the

half part of Jerusalem.

[10] And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over

[12] And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler

Serendipity Bookstore, a popular spot in Chelsea, Michigan, needed to expand.

The owner found a building twice the size just a block away. She wanted to

make the move quickly instead of closing the store for days and boxing up all

the books. So she requested help from the community. More than three hundred

people showed up! They stood shoulder to shoulder, forming a human conveyor

belt, and passed the books from one person to the next, moving 9100 books in

just under two hours. The owner said, "[The bookstore] is really a part of

the community, and [the people] have ownership."

They all enthusiastically worked side by side.



When Nehemiah, a Jew who was the trusted cupbearer to the Persian king,

learned that the wall surrounding Jerusalem lay in shambles, he cried out for

God's guidance (Nehemiah 1:3-11). The Babylonians had destroyed the walls

in 587 B.C. After investigating, Nehemiah recruited help from the community.

He said to the Jewish leaders, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem

lies in ruins . . . . Come, let us rebuild the wall" (2:17). Chapter 3

describes how leaders and citizens alike willingly repaired the section

of the wall that was right in front of each one. They worked side by side.



We too can impact our community by serving together

under God's direction and in His strength.



Reflect & Pray



What are your God-given abilities?

How might He be calling you to work side by side with others?



Please open my eyes, dear God, to those around me

so I might serve You in ways that help my community.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 1 A circle of Light



John 8:12



12 (Jn 12:35; Job 33:28; Isa 49:6) Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying,

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me

shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."



12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.



When Judy Garland stepped onstage, she filled the spotlight. Nothing was

illuminated but her face, and as she sang, her listeners had a sense of being

transported beyond themselves into the meaning of her song. The focus of

reality, at that moment, was "Judy", and everything else faded into the dim

recesses of the shadowed room. The spotlight brought her into sharp focus

as the center of attention, and all around her was darkness.

When the scriptures speaks of Jesus as "the light," the image is not

of thousands of blazing bulbs lighting up a football field for a night game.

Rather, he is like a hand-help lamp that throws a circle of light in the

immediate vicinity. such a lamp lights the path that a traveler will walk,

but lights it only one step at a time.

Jesus is the center of that circle of light. As we follow him, we share the

light, but he is always at center. Jesus Christ is the focal point,

and everything else fades into dim gray by comparison.

If we are to keep our lives illuminated, to have his light falling upon the

road we walk, we must stay close to him. Jesus does not hand the lamp

to us and suggest that we go the way he wants; he , the Light, leads,

and if we want to stay in the light, we follow.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to go my own way, apart from the Light?

What was the result?



b) How can this verse help me remember the importance of staying close

to Jesus?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Luke 6:38



38 "Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down,

shaken together, and running over will men give unto you.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you."



38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,

and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For

with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.



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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Proverbs 30:5

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

Israel.

who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

[10] He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure

in the legs of a man.

his mercy.

[12] Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

[13] For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy

children within thee.

[14] He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the

wheat.

[15] He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very

swiftly.

[16] He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

[17] He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

[18] He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow,

and the waters flow.

[19] He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto

Israel.

[20] He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they

have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

13 (Pr 16:7) Who is he who will harm you if you follow that which is good?

14 (1Pe 2:19-20; Isa 8:12-13) But even if you suffer for the sake

of righteousness, you are blessed. "Do not be afraid of their terror,

do not be troubled."(Isa 8:12.)



[13] And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is

good?

[14] But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not

afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;



B) When suffering tempts you to fear.



1 Peter 3:14-15



14 (1Pe 2:19-20; Isa 8:12-13) But even if you suffer for the sake

of righteousness, you are blessed. "Do not be afraid of their terror,

do not be troubled."(Isa 8:12.)

15 (Col 4:6; Isa 29:23) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for

a reason for the hope that is in you, with

gentleness and fear.



[14] But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not

afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

[15] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give

an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

with meekness and fear:



Psalm 91:1



1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.



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

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.



C) When Hope creates Curiosity



15 (Col 4:6; Isa 29:23) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for

a reason for the hope that is in you, with

gentleness and fear.

16 (Heb 13:18; 1Pe 2:12) Have a good conscience so that evildoers who speak

evil of you and falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

17 (1Pe 2:20; 4:19) For it is better, if it is the will of God, that you

suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

18 (1Pe 4:1; Heb 9:26; Ro 4:25) For Christ also has once suffered for sins,

the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, being put to death

in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit,



[15] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give

an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

with meekness and fear:

[16] Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of

evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in

Christ.

[17] For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well

doing, than for evil doing.

[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,

that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but

quickened by the Spirit:

Psalm 146



1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) While I live I will praise the Lord;

I will sing praises unto my God while Ihave my life.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Do not put your trust in princes,

nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) His breath leaves him, and he returns to the earth;

on that very day his plans perish.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,

whose hope is in the Lord his God,

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) who made heaven, and earth,

the sea, and all that is in them,

who keeps faithfulness forever,

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) who executes justice for the oppressed,

who gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the prisoners.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;

the Lord raises those who are brought down; the Lord loves the righteous.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) The Lord preserves the sojourners;

He lifts up the fatherless and widow,

but on the way of the wicked He brings disaster.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The Lord shall reign forever,

your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise you the Lord!



Psalms 146

[1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

[2] While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God

while I have any being.

[3] Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is

no help.

[4] His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his

thoughts perish.

[5] Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in

the LORD his God:

[6] Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which

keepeth truth for ever:

[7] Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the

hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

[8] The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are

bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

[9] The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and

widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

[10] The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all

generations. Praise ye the LORD.



Psalms 147



1 Praise the Lord!

For it is good to sing praises unto our God;

for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) The Lord builds up Jerusalem;

He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He heals the broken in heart,

and binds up their wounds.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He counts the number of the stars;

He calls them all by their names.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Great is our Lord and great in power;

His understanding is without measure.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord lifts up the meek;

He casts the wicked down to the ground.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;

sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) who covers the heaven with clouds,

who provides rain for the earth,

who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He gives food to the animals

and to the young ravens that chirp.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He delights not in the strength of the horse,

nor does He take pleasure in the legs of a man,

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,

in those who hope in His mercy.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;

praise your God, O Zion.

13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;

He has blessed your children within you.

14 He makes peace in your borders,

and fills you with the finest of the wheat.

15 He sends forth His commandment on the earth;

His word goes out swiftly.

16 He gives snow like wool;

He scatters the frost like ashes;

17 He casts forth His ice like morsels;

who can stand before His cold?

18 He sends out His word and melts them;

He causes His wind to blow and the waters flow.

19 He shows His word to Jacob,

and His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

20 He has not dealt so with any other nation;

they have not known His judgments.

Praise the Lord!

PSALMS 103



A Psalm of David.



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all His benefits,

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

who heals all your diseases,

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

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

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

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

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

and justice for all who are oppressed.

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

His acts to the people of Israel.

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

slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

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

neither will He keep his anger forever.

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

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

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

so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.

14 For He knows how we are formed;

He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass;

as a flower of the field he flourishes.

16 For the hot wind passes over it, and it is gone;

the place where it was is not known.

17 But the mercy of the Lord

is from everlasting to everlasting

upon those who fear Him,

and His righteousness to children's children,

18 to those who keep His covenant,

and to those who remember to do His commandments.

19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,

and His kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,

who are mighty, and do His commands,

and obey the voice of His word.

21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts;

you servants who do His pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all His works,

in all places of His dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!



Psalm 103

[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy

name.

[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

[3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

[4] Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with

lovingkindness and tender mercies;

[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed

like the eagle's.

[6] The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are

oppressed.

[7] He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

[8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in

mercy.

[9] He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

[10] He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to

our iniquities.

[11] For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward

them that fear him.

[12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our

transgressions from us.

[13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that

fear him.

[14] For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

[15] As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he

flourisheth.

[16] For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof

shall know it no more.

[17] But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them

that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

[18] To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his

commandments to do them.

[19] The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom

ruleth over all.

[20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his

commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

[21] Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his

pleasure.

[22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the

LORD, O my soul.

2) Our Daily Bread for 13 June 2026 Titled Dependent on

God's Strength by Bill Crowder



2 Corinthians 11:23-29,12:9



23 (1Co 15:10; 2Co 6:4-5) Are they servants of Christ? I speak as a fool.

I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure,

in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

24 Five times I received from the Jews forty lashes minus one.

25 (Ac 14:19) Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned;

three times I suffered shipwreck; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 (Ac 14:5; 13:50; 17:5) in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils

of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the Gentiles, in

perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in

perils among false brothers;

27 (2Co 6:5; Php 4:12; 1Th 2:9) in weariness and painfulness, in

sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold

and nakedness.

28 Beside the external things, the care of all the churches pressures

me daily.

29 (1Co 8:13; 9:22) Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin,

and I am not distressed?



[23] Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours

more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths

oft.

[24] Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

[25] Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered

shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

[26] In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in

perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the

city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among

false brethren;

[27] In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst,

in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

[28] Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily,

the care of all the churches.

[29] Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?



9 (Php 4:13; 2Co 12:10; Isa 40:29-31) But He said to me, "My grace is

sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Therefore most gladly I will boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ

may rest upon me.



[9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is

made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my

infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.



Tungsten is something of a paradox. It has the highest tensile strength of any

pure element, making it extremely difficult to pull apart. But the Mead Metals

website notes, "In terms of impact strength, tungsten is weak - it's a brittle

metal known to shatter on impact." It's fascinating that tungsten, the

strongest natural metal, is also so weak and brittle.



Human beings display a similar characteristic. Though capable of great

strength both physically and mentally, we're easily crushed under the weight

of this fallen, broken world. Paul experienced this personally. In 2

Corinthians 11, he described experiences that overwhelmed him (vv. 23-29).

But God encouraged him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made

perfect in weakness." Paul resolved, "Therefore I will boast all the more

gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's

power may rest on me" (2 Corinthians 12:9).



Earlier in 2 Corinthians, Paul had written, "We are hard pressed on every

side, but not crushed" (4:8). There's hope, even though the strongest child

of God knows all too well that this world is simply too much for us. We're

happily dependent on the strength of His grace if we are to endure. May we,

like Paul, embrace our weaknesses so God's power can carry us through.



Reflect & Pray



When did you experience a moment that felt like it would crush you?

How will you rest in God's strength the next time you're in a crisis?



Dear Father, please help me to rest in Your

strength to carry me through life's crushing moments.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 7 Support System



Deut 33:27



27 (Ge 49:24; Ps 90:1-2) The eternal God is your refuge,

and underneath you are the everlasting arms;

He will drive out the enemy before you,

and will say, "Destroy them."



27 The eternal God is thy refuge,

And underneath are the everlasting arms:

And he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee;

And shall say, Destroy them.



Misty was only 4 when her parents divorced. Her dad moved away,

and the following summer she went with her grandparents to visit him

in his new apartment. In the swimming pool one afternoon, Grandpa stood

Misty on the side of the pool, held out his arm, and called, "Jump!"

But Misty, normally a little fish, suddenly seemed afraid of the water,

and stood trembling on the sidewalk shaking her head.

"Jump, Misty - I'll catch you!"

"Are you sure, Grandpa?"

"Of course I'm sure! Jump!"

But Misty wouldn't jump. Finally Grandpa, a bit irritated, said, "Misty, do

you think I Won't catch you? Do you think I'll just walk away?"

The tears spilled over, and Misty sobbed. "Daddy did!"

Human support systems often fail us. We disappoint those we love, and

are disappointed by them. People simply aren't there for us

when we need them most.

But God promises that with him things are different. He's always there,

always listening, always caring, always ready to support us.

"Underneath his everlasting arms".

Sometimes those arms reach out clothed in flesh, in the warm embrace

of a loved one. Sometimes they support us through the Word, sometimes through

the quiet peace that comes in prayer. Sometimes we are not aware of them

at all, but they still hold us up, supporting, surrounding, loving.

Underneath us are the everlasting arms.



Application



a) Have I ever felt abandoned by someone I loved and depended upon?



b) How have I experienced the faithfulness of God's "Everlasting arms"?



c) Now can this verse help me in times when I feel my supports have given way?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



James 1:2 to 8



Faith and Wisdom



2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,

3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.

4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,

lacking nothing.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men

liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.

6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers

is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.

7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.



2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect

and entire, wanting nothing.

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

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

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth

is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.



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?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to religion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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

- 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

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.

1 Kings 9



God's Covenant

1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house

of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which

he was pleased to do,

2 that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared

unto him at Gibeon.

3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication,

that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast

built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be

there perpetually.

4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity

of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded

thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:

5 then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I

promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon

the throne of Israel.

6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will

not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go

and serve other gods, and worship them:

7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this

house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and

Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

8 and at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be

astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus

unto this land, and to this house?

9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought

forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other

gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD

brought upon them all this evil.



2 Chronicles 7



11 (1Ki 9:1-9) Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord

and the king's house. And Solomon successfully accomplished

everything that came into his heart to do in the house of the Lord

and in his own house.



The Lord Appears to Solomon

1Ki 9:1-9



12 (Dt 12:11; 1Ki 9:2) Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night,

and He said to Solomon,

"I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen for Myself in this place

a house of sacrifice.

13 (2Ch 6:26-28) "When I shut up the heaven and there is no rain,

or when I command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence

on My people,

14 (2Ch 6:27; 6:37-39) if My people, who are called by My name,

will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn

from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,

and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

15 (2Ch 6:40; 6:20) Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive

to the prayer of this place.

16 (2Ch 7:12) So now I have chosen and consecrated this house

that My name be there continually. My eyes and heart will be

there for all days.

17 "And you, if you walk before Me as David your father did to do

everything that I command you to do, and you keep My statutes and judgments,

18 (2Ch 6:16) then I will set the throne of your kingdom as I made a covenant

with David your father saying, 'You will not lack a man to rule Israel.'

19 (Lev 26:14; Dt 28:15) "But if the people turn aside and abandon

My statutes and commandments that I have given to you,

and you walk after and serve other gods and worship them,

20 (Dt 28:37; 29:28) then I will uproot them from My land that I have given

to them; and the house that I have consecrated for My name, I will throw it

from before Me and set it as a proverb and taunt among the peoples.

21 (Jer 22:8-9) And even though this house was majestic, it will lie desolate

before all who pass by it, and they will say, 'Why did the Lord do such

a thing to this land and this house?'

22 Then they will say, 'Because they abandoned the Lord, the God

of their fathers who brought them up from the land of Egypt,

and they took hold of other gods and worshipped and served them;

therefore He has brought on them all this disaster."



The Divine Covenant

11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house:

and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD,

and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard

thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to

devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves,

and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear

from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is

made in this place.

16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be

there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked,

and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my

statutes and my judgments;

18 then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have

covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man

to be ruler in Israel.

19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I

have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

20 then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given

them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of

my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.

21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that

passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this

land, and unto this house?

22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their

fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold

on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them:

therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.



1 Kings 9



Solomon's Other Activities



2 Ch 8:1-18



10 (1Ki 6:37-7:1; 9:1) When twenty years had passed since Solomon

had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house

11 (2Ch 8:2) (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar

and fir trees, along with gold, as he had requested), King Solomon gave Hiram

twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities Solomon had given him,

and he was not pleased with them.

13 (Jos 19:27) He said, "What cities are these which you have given me,

my brother?" And he called them the land of Kabul to this day.

14 (1Ki 9:11) Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents

[About 25 tons, or 23 metric tons.] of gold.



Cities and Ships

10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built

the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,

11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees

and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then

king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon

had given him; and they pleased him not.

13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother?

And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

1 Kings 8



54 (Lk 22:45) Now when Solomon finished praying this prayer

and making supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar

of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

55 (1Ki 8:14; 2Sa 6:18) He stood up and blessed all the congregation

of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

56 (Dt 12:10; Jos 23:14-15) "Blessed be the Lord who has given rest

to His people Israel according to all that He promised.

Not one word of His promises which He gave by the hand of Moses

His servant has failed.

57 (Dt 31:6; Jos 1:5) The Lord our God be with us, as He was with

our fathers. Let Him neither leave us nor forsake us,

58 (Ps 119:36; Jer 31:33) that He may incline our hearts to Him,

to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments, statutes,

and judgments, which He commanded our fathers.

59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication

before the Lord, be close to the Lord our God day and night,

that He will maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people

Israel at all times as the situation demands,

60 (Dt 4:35; 1Ki 18:39) so that all the people of the earth may know

that the Lord is God and that there is none else.

61 (1Ki 11:4; 2Ki 20:3) Let your hearts, therefore, be perfect

with the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes

and keep His commandments, as at this day."



[54] And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this

prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the

LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

[55] And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud

voice, saying,

[56] Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel,

according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his

good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

[57] The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not

leave us, nor forsake us:

[58] That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and

to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he

commanded our fathers.

[59] And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the

LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the

cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as

the matter shall require:

[60] That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and

that there is none else.

[61] Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in

his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.



The Dedication of the Temple



2Ch 7:1-10



62 (2Sa 6:17-19) The king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices

before the Lord.

63 (Ezr 6:16-17; Ne 12:27) Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings,

which he offered to the Lord,2 2 000 oxen and 120000 sheep.

So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.

64 (2Ch 4:1) The same day the king consecrated the middle of the court

that was in front of the house of the Lord, for there he offered

burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings,

because the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive

the burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings.

65 (Nu 34:5; 34:8; 1Ki 8:2) At that time, Solomon held a feast

for all Israel, a great congregation, from the entry of Lebo Hamath

to the Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days

and another seven days, a total of fourteen days.

66 On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king

and went to their tents rejoicing in their hearts for all the goodness

that the Lord had done for David His servant and for Israel His people.



[62] And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the

LORD.

[63] And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered

unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty

thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the

house of the LORD.

[64] The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was

before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat

offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that

was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat

offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

[65] And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great

congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before

the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

[66] On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king,

and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that

the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.



2 Chronicles 7

Solomon Dedicates the Temple



1Ki 8:62-66



1 (1Ki 18:38; Lev 9:23-24) And when Solomon finished praying, fire came

down from the heavens and consumed the burnt offering and sacrifices,

and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

2 (2Ch 5:14) And the priests were not able to enter

into the house of the Lord, for the glory of the Lord filled the Lord's house.

3 (2Ch 5:13; 20:21) And all the sons of Israel saw when the fire came down

and the glory of the Lord came on the temple, and they bowed their faces

low to the ground on the pavement, and they worshipped confessing,

"The Lord is good, and His mercy endures forever."

4 Then the king and all the people were making sacrifices before the Lord.

5 King Solomon sacrificed 22000 oxen and 120000 sheep.

So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 (2Ch 5:12; 1Ch 15:16-21) The priests stood at their positions,

with the Levites and all their instruments of music for the Lord

that King David had made to praise the Lord-for His mercy endures

forever-when David gave praise by their ministry, and the priests

sounded trumpets opposite the Levites, and all Israel stood.

7 And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was

in front of the house of the Lord because there he made burnt offerings

and the fat of peace offerings (because the bronze altar that Solomon

made was surely not able to contain the burnt offerings,

grain offerings, and fat offerings).

8 (Ge 15:18; 1Ki 8:65) And at the appointed time, Solomon made a feast

for seven days, and all Israel's a very great assembly-was with him,

from the entrance of Lebo Hamath in the north to the Brook of Egypt

in the south.

9 (Lev 23:36) Then on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly

because they had made a consecration of the altar for seven days

and then the feast for seven days more.

10 Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month

Solomon sent the people away to their homes. They were joyful

and good of heart because of what the Lord had done for David,

Solomon, and His people Israel.



2 Chronicles 7

The Glory of the Lord

1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven,

and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD

filled the house.

2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD,

because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.

3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down,

and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their

faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD,

saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen,

and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people

dedicated the house of God.

6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments

of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD,

because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry;

and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was

before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings,

and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon

had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings,

and the meat offerings, and the fat.

8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel

with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath

unto the river of Egypt.

9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept

the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent

the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness

that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.



1 Kings 9



The Lord Appears to Solomon



2Ch 7:11-22



1 (1Ki 9:19) When Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord

and the king's house and all else he desired,

2 (1Ki 3:5; 11:9; 2Ch 7:12) the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time,

as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 (Dt 11:12; 1Ki 8:29) The Lord said to him,

"I have heard your prayer and supplication, which you made before Me.

I have consecrated this house which you built by putting

My name there forever. And My eyes and My heart shall be there perpetually.

4 (Ge 17:1; 1Ki 11:4) "If you will walk before Me,

as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness,

so that you are obedient to do all that I have commanded you,

and will keep My statutes and My judgments,

5 (1Ki 2:4; 6:12) then I will establish the throne of your kingdom

upon Israel forever, just as I promised to your father David, saying,

'You shall not fail to have a man upon the throne of Israel.'

6 (2Sa 7:14-16; 1Ch 28:9) 'But if you and your sons turn in any way

from following Me and do not keep My commandments

and My statutes which I have set before you, but go

and serve other gods and worship them,

7 (Dt 28:37; Ps 44:14) then I will cut Israel out of the land which I have

given them, and I will cast this house, which I have consecrated

for My name, out of My sight, and Israel shall be a proverb

and a byword among all people.

8 (Jer 22:8-9; Dt 29:24-26) And everyone who passes by this high house

will be astonished and will hiss, and they shall say,

'Why has the Lord done this to this land, and to this house?'

9 (Dt 29:25-28; Jer 2:10-13) And they will answer, 'Because they forsook

the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt,

and took hold of other gods and have worshipped and served them.

That is why the Lord has brought all this disaster upon them.' "
