2) Our Daily Bread for 2 March 2026 titled

Refreshing Generosity by Winn Collier



Proverbs 11:24-31



24 (Ps 112:9; Pr 19:17) There is one who scatters, yet increases;

and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.

25 (Mt 5:7) The generous soul will be made rich,

and he who waters will be watered also himself.

26 (Job 29:13) The people will curse him who withholds grain,

but blessing will be upon the head of him who sells it.

27 (Est 7:10; Ps 7:15-16) He who diligently seeks good procures favour,

but he who seeks mischief, it will come to him.

28 (Jer 17:8; Ps 1:3) He who trusts in his riches will fall,

but the righteous will flourish as a branch.

29 (Ecc 5:16) He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind,

and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

30 (Jas 5:20; Pr 3:18) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,

and he who wins souls is wise.

31 (Jer 25:29) If the righteous will be recompensed in the earth,

how much more the wicked and the sinner.



24 There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth;

And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.

25 The liberal soul shall be made fat:

And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

26 He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him:

But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

27 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour:

But he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him.

28 He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:

But the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind:

And the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;

And he that winneth souls is wise.

31 Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth:

Much more the wicked and the sinner.



An auditorium full of medical students at Albert Einstein College of Medicine

listened intently as ninety-year-old Ruth Gottesman spoke. As she concluded,

Ruth announced - to the students' gasps, cheers, and pandemonium - that she

was donating $1 billion so they could finish their education tuition free.

This is the largest donation ever given to a medical school. Yet in the

interviews that followed, you would have thought that Gottesman was the one

receiving the gift. She expressed joy, delight, and honour to be able to give

her money away.



Proverbs tells us that this is how generosity works. The one

who "gives freely," far from being left diminished or bereft, finds blessings

they hadn't anticipated (11:24). When we open our hands to others, we're left

with something more - not less. "Whoever refreshes," Scripture says, "will be

refreshed" (v. 25). We're often tempted to tightly grip whatever we have,

fearful that we'll be taken advantage of or left with nothing. God's economy

works differently, however. Jesus went a step further, stating that

it's "more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).



We can be generous with our lives and our resources, offering what we have to

others in need. And then, in return we’ll find that we end up receiving too.

There's plenty for everyone in God’s kingdom.



Reflect & Pray



How has giving to others blessed you?

Where might God be asking you to be more generous?



Dear God, please help me to be generous like You,

and trust that I'll have all I need.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 2 - Growing Up



2 Tim 3:16-17



16 (Ro 15:4) All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable

for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction

in righteousness,

17 (1Ti 6:11; 2Ti 2:21) that the man of God may be complete,

thoroughly equipped for every good work.



16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable

for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction

in righteousness:

17 that the man of God may be perfect,

throughly furnished unto all good works.



"I can't wait till I get big!" Marc, age 5, declared. "Then I do

what I want!" Most of us, as children, shared Marc's statement.

We looked forward to that "magic age" - 16, 18, 21 - when we

would be adults: mature, able to make our own decisions.

We find, of course, that adulthood has its own share of

difficulties and conflicts. But even in our spiritual lives

we often long for a "magic moment" of maturity. As one woman

confessed, "Ever since I became a Christian, I've hoped I'd wake up

one morning to find myself mature."

But growth in the spiritual life comes gradually, like growth in

the physical world. In 2 Tim 2:16-17, Paul gives the young pastor

Timothy an important key to spiritual growing up - the Word of God.

The Word is "profitable" or "useful," Paul says, for "teaching" - that is,

for developing a right concept of God. Scripture offers "rebuke" when

we go wrong, "correction" to set us on the right path, and "training

in righteousness" so that we can grow in the image of Christ.

The purpose of Scripture's work in our lives, Paul emphasises,

is that we may be "perfect" - mature, equipped for the good things

God has for us to do. Such maturity does not come easily

or instantaneously, but it does come - sometimes imperceptibly -

as we submit our lives to the transforming power of God's Word.



Application



a) In what areas of my life do I need to grow? How can I benefit

from the Bible's



i) teaching?



ii) rebuke?



iii) correction?



iv) training in righteousness?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:20-25



20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4-5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,

those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:

thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."



A Light Under a Basket



Lk 8:16-18



21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put

under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;

neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.

23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.

The measure you give will be measured for you,

and to you who hear will more be given.

25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.

And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."



20 And these are they which are sown on good ground;

such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,

some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put

under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;

neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,

it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25 For he that hath, to him shall be given:

and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



Hebrews 4:14-16



Jesus the Great High Priest



14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2-3) Since then we have a great High Priest

Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold firmly to our confession.

15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest

who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses,

but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6-7) Let us then come with confidence

to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy

and find grace to help in time of need.



14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest,

that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest

which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;

but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly

unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy,

and find grace to help in time of need.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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

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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



Adding further



Pray for Blue Nile, Sudan



Paulina grew up in Damazin, a city in Blue Nile, Sudan. When a pastor reached

out to her Muslim family, she was intrigued by the idea that she could become

a new creation. When she was 18, Paulina began to seek Jesus and her life

began to change. She saw God at work in her daily life and immediately began

sharing with her family and community.



Paulina later moved to her tribe's hometown, just over the border in South

Sudan. In 2011, this area became home to 130 000 refugees from Blue Nile's

numerous tribes. Thousands more refugees arrived more recently from elsewhere

in Sudan as civil war tore the country.



God told Paulina in a dream: "Unless you saturate this place with the Word of

God, it will never change!" So Paulina began to gather women from different

churches for prayer and outreach. She often visited local hospitals and prayed

for sick patients. However, Paulina lacked resources to get to the refugee

camps. So, she prayed. And God provided.



Paulina recently got to know people who help her travel to the camps

and connect with unreached tribes. They provide audio resources for her to

share with those eager to know more. Almost every day she visits women, prays

for their needs, and tells them about Jesus. She feels happy as she sees God

at work changing these communities.

How to Pray



Praise God that the Blue Nile tribes are becoming

more open to hear about Jesus.



Pray for God’s kingdom to be established in each

one of these tribes through more workers like Paulina.



Cry out to God for His provision and a good harvest

in the face of widespread hunger amongst the refugees



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, ...) .



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



http://www.ehc.ca



2nd Day of the Month



a) Pray for the Church to make the Gospel accessible to all Canadians (

Rom 10:14-15 -

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not

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

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 I And how shall they preach

unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of

those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring good news of good

things!"

)



b) Pray that Christian Leaders would seek God's heart for vision,wisdom

and direction. (

Jer 33:3

- Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you

great and mighty things which you do not know.

)



Eight) Day 8 - New work requires new thinking.



Scripture: Romans 12:1–2



1 (1Pe 2:5; Ro 6:13; 6:16) I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies

of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy,

and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship.

2 (Ro 12:1; 1Pe 1:14) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good

and acceptable and perfect will of God.



[1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye

present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is

your reasonable service.

[2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the

renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,

and perfect, will of God.



---



If you could go anywhere, where would you want to go? Not just for a vacation,

but in the direction of your life. The answer to that question is crucial,

because all of us are on a journey - whether we realize it or not. Every day

we move closer to the end of our lives, and the real question is not whether

we are traveling, but where we are headed.



We can simply drift along with the current of this world, allowing its values

and expectations to determine our destination; or we can consciously choose

the path God has laid out for us. The decision is completely ours.



That is why the Apostle Paul urges us: "Offer your bodies as a living

sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God… Do not conform to the pattern of this

world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” When we choose to

renew our minds and surrender our lives to God, we stop wandering aimlessly

and begin walking toward a clear destination: God’s will, which is good,

pleasing, and perfect.



True success is not about arriving where the world applauds, but about

reaching the place God has prepared for us. Choosing that destination

transforms our journey and gives eternal purpose to every step we take.



---



Questions:



A. Where am I letting the world determine the direction of my life?

Where am I making intentional decisions that reflect a renewed mind

aligned with God’s will?



B. If I were to evaluate my "destination" today, could I honestly say that I

am offering my life as a living, holy, and pleasing sacrifice to God? How do

I need to redirect my path toward His good, pleasing, and perfect will?



Prayer:



- Lord God, today we want to offer our lives to You as a living, holy,

and pleasing sacrifice. We ask You to renew our minds so that we do not

conform to this world, but instead walk in Your good, pleasing,

and perfect will. In Jesus' name, Amen.



- Help us, as a Christian community, not to wander aimlessly, but to serve

with purpose, knowing that our true destination is to fulfill Your will

in every area of our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.



Prayer Request:



- Join us today in prayer for our maintenance department. Give our team

willing and faithful hearts to serve with excellence and joy, understanding

that every task - no matter how small it may seem - is an act of worship to

You. Grant them unity, responsibility, and wisdom to care for Your house with

order and dedication, reflecting Your character in everything we do. May

every clean, safe, and well-cared-for space be a testimony to the community - a p

lace where people can encounter You in a welcoming and dignified environment.

In Jesus' name Amen.

Offerings for Priests and Levites



8 (Lev 6:16; Ex 29:29) The Lord spoke to Aaron: I have certainly given you

the charge of the offerings made to Me, all the hallowed gifts of

the children of Israel. To you and to your sons have I given them

as a portion, as an ordinance forever.

9 (Lev 7:7; 4:22) This will be yours of the most holy things,

reserved from the fire: All of their offerings, all of their grain offerings

and all of their sin offerings, and all of their guilt offerings,

which they render to Me, will be most holy for you and for your sons.

10 (Lev 6:29; 7:6) In a most holy place shall you eat it; every male

shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.

11 (Dt 18:3; Ex 29:27-28) This is yours: the offering of their gift,

with all the wave offerings

of the children of Israel. I have given them to you and to your

sons and to your daughters with you, as an eternal statute.

Everyone who is clean in your house will eat of it.

12 (Ex 23:19; Dt 18:4) All the best of the oil,

and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first fruits of what

they will offer to the Lord, those have I given to you.

13 (Ex 22:29) The first ripe fruit of all which is in their land, which they

will bring to the Lord, will be yours. Everyone who is clean in your

house will eat of it.

14 (Lev 27:28) Everything devoted in Israel will be yours.

15 (Ex 34:20; 13:2) Everything that opens the womb of all flesh,

which they bring to the Lord, whether it is of men or animals,

will be yours. However, you will surely redeem the firstborn of man,

and the firstborn of unclean beasts you will redeem.

16 (Ex 30:13; Nu 3:47) Their redemption price, reckoned

from one month of age, is five shekels,

[About 2 ounces, or 58 grams. ] after the shekel of the sanctuary,

which is twenty gerahs.

17 But the firstborn of a herd animal, or the firstborn of a sheep,

or the firstborn of a goat, you will not redeem. They are holy.

You will splash their blood on the altar and will burn their fat

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

18 Their flesh will be yours, as the wave breast

and as the right shoulder are yours.

19 (2Ch 13:5; Lev 2:13) All the offerings of the holy things which

the children of Israel offer to the Lord I have given to you,

and to your sons and your daughters with you, as an eternal statute.

It is a covenant of salt forever before the Lord, to you

and to your seed with you.

20 (Dt 10:9; 12:12) The Lord said to Aaron: You will not have an inheritance

in their land, nor will you have any territory among them. I am your

territory and your inheritance among the children of Israel.



[8] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge

of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of

Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy

sons, by an ordinance for ever.

[9] This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire:

every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin

offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall

render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.

[10] In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it

shall be holy unto thee.

[11] And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave

offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy

sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that

is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

[12] All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the

wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them

have I given thee.

[13] And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto

the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat

of it.

[14] Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.

[15] Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto

the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the

firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean

beasts shalt thou redeem.

[16] And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem,

according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the

shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.

[17] But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the

firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt

sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an

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

[18] And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the

right shoulder are thine.

[19] All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of

Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy

daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for

ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

[20] And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their

land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine

inheritance among the children of Israel.



Tithes for Supporting the Levites



21 (Dt 14:22-29; Ne 10:37) I have given the children of Levi all the tithes

in Israel for an inheritance, for their service, which they serve,

even the service of the tent of meeting.

22 (Lev 22:9) Hereafter, the children of Israel shall not come

near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die.

23 (Nu 3:7) But the Levites will do the service of the tent of meeting,

and they will bear their iniquity. It will be an eternal statute throughout

your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

24 (Nu 18:26 )But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer

as an offering to the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit.

Therefore I have said to them, among the children of Israel

they will have no inheritance.



[21] And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel

for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of

the tabernacle of the congregation.

[22] Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle

of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

[23] But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the

congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for

ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they

have no inheritance.

[24] But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave

offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I

have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no

inheritance.



The Tithe of the Levites



25 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

26 (Ne 10:38) You will speak to the Levites, and say to them:

When you take from the children of Israel the tithes that I have given you

from them for your inheritance, then you will offer up an offering of

it to the Lord, even one-tenth of the tithe.

27 (Nu 18:30) And this offering will be counted to you, as though it was

the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.

28 Thus you also will set apart an offering to the Lord from all the tithes

which you receive from the children of Israel. Out of them you will give

the offering of the Lord to Aaron the priest.

29 Out of all your gifts you shall present every offering due to the Lord,

from all the best of them, the consecrated part of them.

30 You will say to them: When you have offered the best from it,

then it will be counted to the Levites as the increase of the threshing

floor, and as the increase of the winepress.

31 (Mt 10:10; Lk 10:7) You will eat it in every place,

you and your households, because it is your reward

for your service in the tent of meeting.

32 (Lev 19:8; 22:2) You will bear no sin because of it,

when you have offered the best of it. The holy things of the children

of Israel you will not pollute, and you will not die.



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

[26] Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the

children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your

inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD,

even a tenth part of the tithe.

[27] And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it

were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.

[28] Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your

tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give

thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.

[29] Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD,

of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.

[30] Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best

thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase

of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

[31] And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is

your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.

[32] And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it

the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of

Israel, lest ye die.

Numbers 16



The People Complain



41 (Nu 14:2) But the next day all the assembly of the children of Israel

murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying,

"You have killed the people of the Lord."

42 (Nu 16:19; Lev 9:23) When the assembly was gathered

against Moses and Aaron, they looked toward the tent of meeting.

The cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

43 Moses and Aaron went before the tent of meeting.

44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

45 (Nu 16:24; 16:21-22) "Get up from among this assembly,

that I may destroy them in a moment." And they fell on their faces.

46 (Lev 10:6; Nu 8:19) Moses said to Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire

in it from off the altar, and put in incense, and go quickly to the assembly,

and make an atonement for them, because wrath has gone out from the Lord.

The plague has begun."

47 Aaron took it as Moses commanded and ran into the midst of the assembly,

where the plague had begun among the people. He put in incense

and made an atonement for the

48 (2Sa 24:25) He stood between the dead and the living,

and the plague was stopped.

49 (Nu 25:9) Now those who died in the plague were 14700,

besides those that died concerning the thing of Korah.

50 Aaron returned to Moses, to the door of the tent of meeting,

and the plague was stopped.



[41] But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel

murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people

of the LORD.

[42] And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses

and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the

congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD

appeared.

[43] And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

[45] Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in

a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

[46] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off

the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and

make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the

plague is begun.

[47] And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the

congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put

on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

[48] And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was

stayed.

[49] Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven

hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

[50] And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation: and the plague was stayed.

NUMBERS 17



The Budding of Aaron's Rod



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and take from them a rod,

a rod for the house of their fathers, from all their leaders

according to the house of their fathers, twelve rods.

Write each man's name on his rod.

3 You will write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi,

because one rod will be for each father's house.

4 You will lay them in the tent of meeting before the testimony,

where I will meet with you.

5 (Nu 16:5; 16:11) It will be that the rod of the man

whom I choose will bud.

Thus I will rid myself of the complaints of the children of Israel,

that they have been making against you.

6 Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each one of their leaders

gave him a rod, one for each leader, according to their fathers' houses,

even twelve rods, and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

7 (Ex 38:21; Ac 7:44) Moses laid the rods before the Lord

in the tent of witness.

8 (Eze 17:24) When Moses went into the tent of witness the next day,

the rod of Aaron, for the house of Levi, had sprouted.

It brought forth buds, produced blossoms, and yielded almonds.

9 Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to

all the children of Israel, and they looked, and each man took his rod.

10 (Nu 16:38; Heb 9:4) The Lord said to Moses, "Return the rod of Aaron

before the testimony, to be kept for a warning to rebels,

that you may put an end to their complaints before Me,

or else they will die."

11 Moses did so. As the Lord commanded him, so he did.

12 The children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, "Behold, we expire,

we perish, we all perish.

13 Anyone approaching the tabernacle of the Lord will die.

Are we all to perish?"



Numbers 17

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

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod

according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to

the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his

rod.

[3] And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod

shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.

[4] And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before

the testimony, where I will meet with you.

[5] And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose,

shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the

children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.

[6] And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their

princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their

fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their

rods.

[7] And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.

[8] And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle

of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded,

and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

[9] And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the

children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

[10] And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the

testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite

take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

[11] And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

[12] And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we

perish, we all perish.

[13] Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall

die: shall we be consumed with dying?

Duties of Priests and Levites



1 (Ex 28:38) And the Lord said to Aaron: You and your sons and your father's

house with you will bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, and you and your sons

with you will bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

2 (Ge 29:34; Nu 18:4) Your brothers also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of

your father, bring with you, and let them be joined with you, and minister

to you. But you and your sons with you will minister before the tent of

witness.

3 (Nu 4:15; 3:25) They will perform duties for you and for the whole tent;

but they will not come near the vessels of the sanctuary or the altar,

so that neither they nor you die.

4 They will be joined to you and perform the duties of the tent of meeting,

for all the service of the tent; no foreigner will come near you.

5 (Ex 27:21; Lev 24:3) You yourselves will perform the duties

of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, so that wrath may never come

upon the children of Israel again.

6 (Nu 3:9; 3:12) I Myself have taken your brothers, the Levites, from among

the children of Israel; they are given to you as a gift from the Lord to perform

the service of the tent of meeting.

7 (Nu 3:10_ And you and your sons with you will attend to your priesthood

for everything at the altar, and within the veil, and you will serve. I have

given your priesthood to you as a gift service, and the foreigner that

comes near will be put to death.



[1] And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house

with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons

with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

[2] And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father,

bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto

thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle

of witness.

[3] And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle:

only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar,

that neither they, nor ye also, die.

[4] And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the

tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a

stranger shall not come nigh unto you.

[5] And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the

altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.

[6] And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the

children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the

service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[7] Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office

for every thing of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I

have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the

stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

NUMBERS 16



Opposition to Moses and Aaron



1 (Jude 1:11; Ex 6:21) Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath,

the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab,

and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men,

2 (Nu 26:9) and they rose up before Moses and men of the children of Israel,

two hundred and fifty chiefs of the assembly, famous in the assembly,

well-known men.

3 (Ps 106:16; Ex 19:6) They assembled against Moses and against Aaron,

and said to them, "You take too much upon yourselves, seeing

all the congregation are holy, every one of them,

and the Lord is among them. So why do you exalt yourselves

above the assembly of the Lord?"

4 (Nu 14:5; 20:6) And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face,

5 (Lev 10:3; Nu 17:5) and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying,

"In the morning the Lord will show who is His and who is holy, and He will

bring him to come near to Him. Whom He has chosen He will bring near to Him.

6 (Lev 10:1) Do this: Take censers, Korah and all his company;

7 (Nu 16:3) put fire in them, and put incense in them before the Lord

tomorrow, and it will be that the man whom the Lord chooses, he will be holy.

You take too much upon yourselves, sons of Levi."

8 Moses said to Korah, "Listen, please, sons of Levi.

9 (Dt 10:8; Isa 7:13) Does it seem a small thing to you that the God of Israel

has separated you from the assembly of Israel to bring you near to Himself

to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand

before the assembly to minister to them?

10 And He has brought you near to Him, and all your brothers,

the sons of Levi, with you, and you also seek the priesthood?

11 (Ex 16:7-8; 1Co 3:5) Therefore both you and all your company are gathered

together against the Lord, and who is Aaron that you murmur against him?"

12 And Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, who said,

"We will not come

13 (Ac 7:35; Ex 2:14) Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out

of a land that flows with milk and honey to kill us in the wilderness

because you make yourself a prince over us?

14 (Lev 20:24) Moreover you have not brought us into a land that flows

with milk and honey nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards.

Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up."

15 (Ge 4:4-5; 2Co 7:2) Moses was very angry and said to the Lord,

"Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from

them, nor have I hurt one of them."

16 (1Sa 12:3; 12:7) Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company

be before the Lord, you and them and Aaron, tomorrow.

17 Let each man take his censer and put incense in it,

and each of you bring his censer before the Lord,

two hundred and fifty censers. Also you and Aaron shall each bring his censer."

18 Every man took his censer and put fire in it, and laid incense on it,

and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

19 (Nu 14:10; 16:42) Korah gathered all the assembly against them to the door

of the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the assembly.

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

21 (Ex 32:10; Nu 16:45) Separate yourselves from among this assembly,

that I may consume them in a moment.

22 (Nu 27:16; Ge 18:23-25) They fell on their faces and said,

"O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, will one man sin

and You will be angry with all the assembly?"

23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24 Speak to the assembly, saying: Get up from around

the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

25 Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram,

and the elders of Israel followed him.

26 (Isa 52:11; 2Co 6:17) He spoke to the assembly, saying,

"Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and touch

nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away for all their sins."

27 So they got up from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram,

on every side, and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood

in the opening of their tents, and their wives, and their sons,

and their children.

28 (Ex 3:12; Jer 23:16) Moses said, "By this you will know that

the Lord has sent me to do all these works, because I have not

done them of my own mind.

29 (1Ki 22:28) If these men die the common death of all men,

or if they are visited after the visitation of all men,

then the Lord has not sent me.

30 (Ps 55:15; Nu 16:33) But if the Lord makes a new thing,

and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them with all that

belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit,

then you will know that these men have despised the Lord."

31 (Nu 27:3; Dt 11:6) So it was, when he finished speaking

all these words, that the ground that was under them split open.

32 (Nu 26:11; 1Ch 6:22) And the earth opened its mouth

and swallowed them, and their houses, and all the men

that belonged to Korah, and all their goods.

33 (Jude 1:11) And they and all that belonged to them went down

alive into the pit, and the earth closed on them, and they perished

from among the assembly.

34 All Israel that was around them fled at their cry because they said,

"The earth will swallow us also."

35 (Lev 10:2; Nu 26:10) A fire went out from the Lord and consumed

the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

36 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

37 Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers

out of the blaze, for they are holy. Then scatter the fire far and wide.

38 (Nu 26:10; Pr 20:2) As for the censers of these men who have sinned

at the cost of their own lives, make them into hammered plates

as a covering for the altar, for they presented them before the Lord

and they are holy. They shall be a sign to the children of Israel.

39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were

burned had offered, and they were hammered out as a covering on the altar,

40 (Nu 3:10) to be a memorial to the children of Israel, that no outsider,

who is not of the descendants of Aaron, shall approach to offer incense

before the Lord, that he might not become like Korah and his company,

as the Lord has said to him through Moses.



Numbers 16

[1] Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and

Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of

Reuben, took men:

[2] And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel,

two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation,

men of renown:

[3] And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron,

and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation

are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift

ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

[4] And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

[5] And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow

the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come

near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto

him.

[6] This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;

[7] And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow:

and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye

take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

[8] And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

[9] Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath

separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself

to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the

congregation to minister unto them?

[10] And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of

Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

[11] For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together

against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

[12] And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which

said, We will not come up:

[13] Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that

floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make

thyself altogether a prince over us?

[14] Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk

and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put

out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

[15] And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou

their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one

of them.

[16] And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD,

thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:

[17] And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye

before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou

also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.

[18] And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid

incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation

with Moses and Aaron.

[19] And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of

the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto

all the congregation.

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

[21] Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume

them in a moment.

[22] And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits

of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the

congregation?

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

[24] Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the

tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

[25] And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of

Israel followed him.

[26] And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from

the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be

consumed in all their sins.

[27] So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on

every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their

tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

[28] And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do

all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.

[29] If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited

after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.

[30] But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and

swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick

into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the

LORD.

[31] And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words,

that the ground clave asunder that was under them:

[32] And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their

houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

[33] They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit,

and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the

congregation.

[34] And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for

they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

[35] And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred

and fifty men that offered incense.

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

[37] Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the

censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are

hallowed.

[38] The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make

them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before

the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the

children of Israel.

[39] And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that

were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of

the altar:

[40] To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which

is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD;

that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the

hand of Moses.

Understanding Post-Quantum Cryptography and CSR Key Sizes

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

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

Why 1024-bit RSA Is Insecure Today

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



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



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

Why Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)?

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

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

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

Current Best Practices for CSRs

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



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



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



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



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

Example: Post-Quantum-Aware CSR Generation

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

# generate an Ed25519 private key


openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out client_ed25519.key





# create CSR with the new key


openssl req -new \


  -key client_ed25519.key \


  -out client_ed25519.csr \


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

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

About Post-Quantum Standards

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



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



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

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

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



Scripture: Mark 1:15



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

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



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

repent ye, and believe the gospel.



---



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

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

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

requires a response. "Repent and believe."



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

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

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

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

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

unfolding.



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

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

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

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

take root and grow.



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

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

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

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



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

ready - but whether the ground is.

Listening Prayer:



"Holy Spirit ...



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



- Where might I be clinging to the old season,

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



Prayer Items:



Please pray for the leadership of Calvary...



A. Unified Discernment and Spiritual Clarity.



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

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

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



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

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

to which I have called them."

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

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



B. Godly Wisdom and Courageous Leadership



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

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

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



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

who gives to all men liberally and without criticism,

and it will be given to him.



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

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



C. Protection, Integrity, and Spiritual Health



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

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

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



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

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

but eagerly.

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

but be examples to the flock.



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

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

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

flock.



D. Fruitfulness and Gospel Impact at Calvary



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

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

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



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

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

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



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

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

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

Numbers 15





37 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

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

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

corners of their garments.

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

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

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

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

and be holy to your God.

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God.

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

be your God: I am the LORD your God.



Psalm 90



1 Lord, You have been our dwelling place

in all generations.

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

or You had formed the earth and the world,

even from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

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

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

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

are but as yesterday when it is past,

or as a night watch in the night time.

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

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

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

in the evening it fades and withers.

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

and by Your wrath we are terrified.

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

even our secret sins in the light of Your presence.

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

we end our years with a groan.

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

and if by reason of strength eighty;

yet their length is toil and sorrow,

for they soon end, and we fly away.

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

Or Your wrath according to Your fear?

12 So teach us to number our days,

that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

13 Return, O Lord, how long?

Have mercy on Your servants.

14 Satisfy us in the early morning with Your mercy,

that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

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

and the years that we have seen evil.

16 Let Your work be displayed to Your servants

and Your glory to their children.

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

and establish the work of our hands among us;

yes, establish the work of our hands.



Psalm 90

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

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

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

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

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

and as a watch in the night.

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

morning they are like grass which groweth up.

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

down, and withereth.

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

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

of thy countenance.

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

tale that is told.

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

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

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

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

thy wrath.

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

wisdom.

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

servants.

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

our days.

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

the years wherein we have seen evil.

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

children.

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

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



2) Our Daily Bread for 1 March 2026 Titled



Go and Tell of Jesus by Nancy Gavilanes



Romans 10:12-15



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

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

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

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

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

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

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

hear without a preacher?

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

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

glad tidings of good things!



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

day.



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

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

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

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

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



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

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

invite them to a church service or activity.



Reflect & Pray



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

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

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



Philippians 4:13



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

of Christ who strengthens me.



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



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

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

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

"You can't do anything right."

We programme ourselves for spiritual failure as well.

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

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

volumes of information that is less significant than the

Scriptures - telephone numbers, identification codes,

songs lyrics, advertising jingles.

The answer to the dilemma of negativism is not positive

thinking, but right thinking - biblical thinking, according

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

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

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

I will give you the strength to do it.

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

this important secret of spiritual strength. Paul had known

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

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

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

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

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

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

challenges we face.



Application



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

IS memorising Scripture one of those challenges for me?



b) How does today's memory verse help me face those challenges?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Joshua 1:5



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

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

abandon you. I will not leave you.



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

life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee,

nor forsake thee.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



1 Cor 10:1-13



1 Corinthians 10



Warning Against Idolatry



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

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

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

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

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

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,

and that Rock was Christ.

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

and they were overthrown in the wilderness.

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

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

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

As it is written,

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

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

of them committed, when 23000 fell in one day.

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

also tempted and were destroyed by serpents.

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

and were destroyed by the destroyer.

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

They are written as an admonition to us,

upon whom the end of the ages has come.

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

lest he fall.

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

3 and did all eat the same spiritual meat;

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

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

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

for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

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

after evil things, as they also lusted.

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

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

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

and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

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

and were destroyed of serpents.

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

and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:

and they are written for our admonition,

upon whom the ends of the world are come.

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

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

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

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

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



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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





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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



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

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

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

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

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

Christian school.

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

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

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

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



Agree in prayer with us for:

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

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

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

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

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

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

Pray for Iranians in Greece



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

nothing to comfort her throughout the many difficult circumstances in her

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

passed away and Layla and daughter struggled to survive.



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

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

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

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

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

"God is healing your heart."



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

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

him for as long as she has breath.



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

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

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

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

Old Testament prophets, culminating in an invitation to follow Jesus

the Messiah.





See also Pray for Yemeni Women



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

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

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

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

home in Jesus.



How to Pray



Pray for peace in Iran during this time of political turmoil and war.



Pray that refugees facing hardship and despair would encounter

Jesus the Messiah.



Ask God to equip churches to embrace new believers from a Muslim

background and see them grounded in the Word.





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, ...) .

NUMBERS 15



Laws of Grain and Drink Offerings

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

will bring a grain offering of a tenth of an ephah

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

of flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

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

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

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

a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah

(Likely about 11 pounds, or 5 kilograms.)

of flour mixed with one-half a hin

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

of oil.

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

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

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

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

12 According to the number that you will make,

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

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

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

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

throughout your generations, and would present a fire offering,

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

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

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

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

be before the Lord.

16 One law and one justice will be for you

and for the foreigner who lives with you.

17 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

When you come into the land where I bring you,

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

you will offer up an offering to the Lord.

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

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

so will you offer it.

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

throughout your generations.



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

oil.

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

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

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

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

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

wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.

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

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

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

of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.

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

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

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

or a kid.

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

one according to their number.

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

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

LORD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

sojourneth with you.

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

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

the land whither I bring you,

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

offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.

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

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

heave it.

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

offering in your generations.



Laws About Unintentional Sins



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

which the Lord has spoken to Moses,

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

from the day that the Lord commanded Moses

and onward through your generations,

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

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

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

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

and one kid of the goats as a sin offering.

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

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

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

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

for their ignorance.

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

and the foreigner who lives among them,

because all the people were in ignorance.

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

a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

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

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

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

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

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

and foreigner who lives in your midst.



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

the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,

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

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

generations;

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

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

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

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

kid of the goats for a sin offering.

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

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

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

their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:

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

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

were in ignorance.

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

of the first year for a sin offering.

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

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

atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.

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

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

sojourneth among them.



Laws About Intentional Sins



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

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

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

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

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

His iniquity will be on him.



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

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

cut off from among his people.

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

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

him.



The Sabbath-Breaker Executed



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

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

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

and Aaron and to all the assembly.

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

what should be done to him.

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

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

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

and he died as the Lord commanded Moses.



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

man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

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

Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

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

done to him.

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

the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

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

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

Tassels on Garments

Moses Intercedes for the People



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

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

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

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

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

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

and by a pillar of fire at night.

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

heard the fame of You will speak, saying,

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

into the land which He swore to them,

so He slaughtered them in the wilderness.'

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

just as You have spoken, saying,

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

and abounding in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression;

but He will by no means clear the guilty,

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

and fourth generation.'

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

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

this people, from Egypt even until now."

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

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

filled with the glory of the Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

where he went, and his seed will possess it.

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

as thou hast spoken, saying,

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

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

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

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

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

even until now.

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

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

the LORD.

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

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

times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

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

neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

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

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

seed shall possess it.

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

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



Death of Rebels Predicted



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

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

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

against Me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

your corpses will fall in this wilderness.

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

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

your corpses are in the wilderness.

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

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

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

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

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

be finished, and there they will die.

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

and made all the assembly murmur against him by bringing up

an evil report about the land,

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

against me.

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

mine ears, so will I do to you:

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

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

which have murmured against me,

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

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

of Nun.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and ye shall know my breach of promise.

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

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

shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

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

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

upon the land,

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

the plague before the LORD.

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

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

Defeat in Battle



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

and the people mourned greatly.

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

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

Lord has promised, for we have sinned."

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

of the Lord? This will not prosper.

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

yourselves be defeated by your enemies.

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

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

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

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

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

from the midst of the camp.

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

who dwelt on that mountain went down and defeated them,

pursuing them as far as Hormah.



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

people mourned greatly.

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

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

the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

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

LORD? but it shall not prosper.

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

your enemies.

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

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

the LORD will not be with you.

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

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

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

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

[17] Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.



Romans 6:15-23



Slaves of Righteousness



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

but under grace? God forbid!

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

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

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

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

but you have obeyed from the heart that form of teaching

to which you were entrusted,

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

the slaves of righteousness.

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

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

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

your members as slaves to righteousness unto holiness.

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

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

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

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

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

and the end is eternal life.

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

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



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

grace? God forbid.

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

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

unto righteousness?

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

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

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

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

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

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

holiness.

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

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

the end of those things is death.

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

your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

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

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Israel Refuses to Enter Canaan



1 And the whole assembly lifted up their voices and cried,

and the people wept that night.

2 (Ex 15:24; 17:3) All the children of Israel grumbled against Moses

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

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

in this wilderness!

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

that our wives and our children should become prey?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

to explore it is a very, very good land.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

before all the children of Israel.

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

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

which I have done among them?

12 (Ex 32:10) I will strike them

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

a nation greater and mightier than they."



Numbers 14

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

people wept that night.

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

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

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

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

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

for us to return into Egypt?

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

into Egypt.

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

congregation of the children of Israel.

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

them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

the LORD is with us: fear them not.

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

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

children of Israel.

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

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

shewed among them?

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

make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

desire what He desires and hate what He hates.



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

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

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

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

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

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

Personal Reflection Questions:



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

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

than condemnation?



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

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

your own strength?



Prayer Points:



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

their identity into men and women of God.



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

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

Psalm 103



A Psalm of David.



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.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

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

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

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

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

as we forgive our debtors.

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

but deliver us from evil.

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



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

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

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

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

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

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

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



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



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



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

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

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

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

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

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

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

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

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

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

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

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



Please join us in praying for:

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

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

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

in their faith and the Church.

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

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

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

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

Pray for the Zaza of Turkey



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

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

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

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

share the gospel.



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

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

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

born, he died of leukemia.



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

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

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

shortened when he died of colon cancer last year.



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

they posted their love and appreciation on Instagram saying:



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

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

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

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

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

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

Day 29 of the Month



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

to acknowledge the sanctity of life and server with true

integrity and compassion (



Ps 139:13-16



13 You brought my inner parts into being;

You wove me in my mother's womb.

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

marvelous are Your works,

and You know me completely.

15 My frame was not hidden from You

when I was made in secret,

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

16 Your eyes saw me unformed,

yet in Your book

all my days were written,

before any of them came into being.



13 For thou hast possessed my reins:

Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

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

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

15 My substance was not hid from thee,

When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought

in the lowest parts of the earth.

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

And in thy book all my members were written,

Which in continuance were fashioned,

When as yet there was none of them.

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

and compassionately respond to their plight (



Gal 2:10



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

which I also was eager to do.



10 Only they would that we should remember the poor;

the same which I also was forward to do.
