Day 303, 30 October 2025 1)Mark 13:32-37, Matthew 24:36-51, Luke 21:34-38, Matthew 25 Mark 13:32-37 The Unknown Day and Hour Mt 24:36-44 32 (Ac 1:7; Mt 25:13) "But concerning that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 (Eph 6:18) Take heed, watch and pray. For you do not know when the time will come. 34 (Jn 10:3) For the Son of Man is like a man leaving on a far journey who left his house and gave authority to his servants and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 (Mt 24:42) "Watch therefore-for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, in the evening, or at midnight, or at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning- 36 (Mk 14:40) lest he come suddenly and find you sleeping. 37 (Mk 13:35) What I say to you I say to all: Watch!" [32] But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. [33] Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. [34] For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. [35] Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: [36] Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. [37] And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Matthew 24:36-51 The Unknown Day and Hour Mk 13:32-37; Lk 17:26-30, 34-36 36 (Ac 1:7; Mt 25:13; Mk 13:32) "Concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 (Lk 17:26-27) As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 (Mt 22:30) For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, 39 (Mt 24:37) and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two will be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left. 41 (Ex 11:5; Isa 47:2) Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and the other left. 42 (Mt 25:13; 24:44) "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord will come. 43 (Lk 12:39) But know this, that if the owner of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not have let his house be broken into. 44 (Mt 25:10; 25:13) Therefore you also must be ready, for in an hour when you least expect, the Son of Man is coming. [36] But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. [37] But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, [39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [40] Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [41] Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. [42] Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [43] But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. [44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. The Faithful or the Unfaithful Servant Lk 12:41-48 45 (Mt 25:21; 25:23) "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master has made ruler over his household to give them food at the appointed time? 46 (Rev 16:15) Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. 47 (Mt 25:21; 25:23) Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master delays his coming,' 49 and begins to strike his fellow servants and eat and drink with the drunkards, 50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not look for him and in an hour he is not aware of 51 (Mt 8:12) and will cut him in pieces and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [45] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? [46] Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. [47] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. [48] But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; [49] And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; [50] The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, [51] And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 21:34-38 Exhortation to Watch 34 (Mk 4:19; Lev 10:9) "Take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts become burdened by excessiveness and drunkenness and anxieties of life, and that Day comes on you unexpectedly. 35 For as a snare it will come on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 (Mt 26:41; 25:13) Therefore watch always and pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man." 37 (Mt 21:1; 21:17) Each day He was teaching in the temple, and each night He went out and stayed on the mountain called the Mount of Olives. 38 And all the people came early in the morning to hear Him in the temple. [34] And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. [35] For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. [36] Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. [37] And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives. [38] And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. Matthew 25 Matthew 25 The Parable of the Ten Virgins 1 (Mt 13:24; 22:23) "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were wise and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them. 4 But the wise took jars of oil with their lamps. 5 (Mt 24:48; 25:19) While the bridegroom delayed, they all rested and slept. 6 "But at midnight there was a cry, 'Look, the bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!' 7 (Lk 12:35) "Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8 (Lk 12:35) But the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.' 9 "The wise answered, 'No, lest there not be enough for us and you. Go rather to those who sell it, and buy some for yourselves.' 10 (Lk 13:25) "But while they went to buy some, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 11 (Mt 7:21-23) "Afterward, the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open the door for us.' 12 (2Ti 2:19) "But he answered, 'Truly I say to you, I do not know you.' 13 (Mt 24:42-44) "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. [1] Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. [2] And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. [3] They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: [4] But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. [5] While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [6] And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. [7] Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. [9] But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. [11] Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. [12] But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. [13] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. The Parable of the Talents Lk 19:11-27 14 (Mt 21:33; Mk 13:34) "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants and entrusted his goods to them. 15 (Mt 18:24) To one he gave five talents, (A talent was worth several hundred pounds.) to another two, and to another one, to every man according to his ability. And immediately he took his journey. 16 He who had received the five talents went and traded with them and made another five talents. 17 So also, he who had received two gained another two. 18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 (Mt 25:5) "After a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 He who had received five talents came and brought the other five talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted to me five talents. Look, I have gained five talents more.' 21 (Mt 24:47; 25:23) "His master said to him, 'Well done, you good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many things. Enter the joy of your master.' 22 "He who had received two talents also came and said, 'Master, you entrusted me with two talents. See, I have gained two more talents besides them.' 23 (Mt 25:21) "His master said to him, 'Well done, you good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things. I will make you ruler over many things. Enter the joy of your master.' 24 "Then he who had received the one talent came and said, 'Master, I knew that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow. 25 So I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' 26 (Mt 18:32) "His master answered, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not winnowed. 27 Then you ought to have given my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 " 'So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29 (Mt 13:12; Mk 4:25) For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. 30 (Mt 8:12; 22:13; 13:42) And throw the unprofitable servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' [14] For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. [15] And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. [16] Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. [17] And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. [18] But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. [19] After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. [20] And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. [21] His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. [22] He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. [23] His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. [24] Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: [25] And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. [26] His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: [27] Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. [28] Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. [29] For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. [30] And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The Judgment of the Nations 31 (Mt 16:27; 19:28) "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 (Mt 13:49; Mal 3:18) Before Him will be gathered all nations, and He will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates his sheep from the goats. 33 (Ps 45:9) He will set the sheep at His right hand, but the goats at the left. 34 (Jas 2:5; Lk 12:32) "Then the King will say to those at His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. 35 (Eze 18:7; 18:16) For I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in. 36 (Jas 1:27; Heb 10:34) I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me.' 37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 And when did we see You sick or in prison and come to You?' 40 (Mt 10:42; Pr 19:17) "The King will answer, 'Truly I say to you, as you have done it for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you have done it for Me.' 41 (Mt 7:23; 2Pe 2:4) "Then He will say to those at the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave Me no food, I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' 44 "Then they also will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not serve You?' 45 (Pr 14:31; 17:5) "He will answer, 'Truly I say to you, as you did it not for one of the least of these, you did it not for Me.' 46 (Jn 5:29; Da 12:2; Jn 3:36) "And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." [31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. [34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: [35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: [36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. [37] Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? [39] Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? [40] And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. [41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: [42] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: [43] I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. [44] Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? [45] Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. [46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. 2) Our Daily Bread for 30 October 2025 titled <a href="https://www.odbm.org/en/devotionals /devotional-category/repurposed-by-god"> Repurposed by God </a> by Kenneth Petersen Genesis 45:12-15, 21-27 12 "Your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that is speaking to you. 13 You must tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and of all that you have seen, and you must hurry and bring my father down here." 14 Then he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. 15 Moreover he kissed all his brothers and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him. 21 So the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22 To each of them he gave a change of clothes, but he gave to Benjamin three hundred shekels of silver and five changes of clothes. 23 To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father on the journey. 24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, "Do not quarrel on the way." 25 They went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father. 26 They told him, "Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt." And Jacob's heart stood still because he could not believe them. 27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. [12] And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. [13] And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither. [14] And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. [15] Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him. [21] And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. [22] To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. [23] And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way. [24] So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way. [25] And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father, [26] And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not. [27] And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: In the early 1930s, Cleo McVicker came up with a product that could be used as wallpaper cleaner. Back then, most homes were heated by coal, and walls became covered in soot. Cleo's invention could be rolled over wallpaper and would pick up the grime. Well, the wallpaper cleaner never became popular, but decades later, a teacher used Cleo's product in her classes to create Christmas ornaments. From that was born a new company - Rainbow Crafts - and the wallpaper cleaner was repurposed as a children's toy: "Play-Doh." On a far greater scale, God has a way of repurposing people. We remember the biblical story of Joseph and his "coat of many colors." As a young man, he was a lowly shepherd and was sold into slavery by his brothers. But God led Joseph through great difficulties and into the top ranks of government. Eventually Joseph became "repurposed" as "the ruler of all Egypt" (Genesis 45:26). Yet Joseph's calling was not about power but about grace - something he extended to his brothers as he forgave them (v. 15). In a sense, all of us are "failed products." It's through "the grace of a Son," Jesus, that we are repurposed into greater things. As you do life today, think of your higher purpose and remember to extend grace to others, just as Christ does for us. Reflect & Pray How has God repurposed you in your life journey? What might you learn from the example of Joseph's life? Dear God, if I've forgotten the grace You've called me to, please remind me and help me extend it to others. <A href="https://www.odbm.org/en/spiritual-beliefs /the-bible-biblical-study/no-model-family"> For further study, read No Model Family.</a> 3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 5 The Way Out 1 Cor 10:13 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. 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. Becky had experienced some hard knocks in the past few weeks; the stress was beginning to show, and she wasn't sure she should handle anything else. "Why me?" Becky wept, covering her face. "I just can't stand it any more! I can't pay my bills; I just lost my job, and now my car broke down on the highway. How much more of this can I take?" Some people seem to have more than their share of trouble and temptation. Within six months, one family faced financial trouble, cancer, quadruple bypass surgery, and leukemia; their trials brought them face to face with anger, bitterness, and despair as well. Other people seem to go through life with relatively minor stresses and few real temptations to sin. But whether our problems are great or small, they are part of the common thread that ties humanity together. All of us face temptation; it is , Paul says, "Common to man." But Paul assures us that "God ... will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear." Often what we can bear is more that what we think we can bear. God will use the troubled times in our lives for our maturity in him, but he promises as well that he will not let temptation break us. He will provide "a way out," "a way of escape". Sometimes the "way out" is true escape, being removed from what caused the trouble. At other times, rather than being removed from it, we must withstand the stress, face the temptation, enure the pain. Whether we escape or endure, God is faithful to provide what we need; we can trust him not to give us more than we can bear. Application a) Have I ever faced more stress or temptation than I thought I could bear? b) Under what circumstances has God provided an "escape" for me? When have I had to walk "through" my difficulties? c) How can today's verse encourage me when times are tough? 4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland Proverbs 22:7 7 The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. 7 The rich ruleth over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender. 5) From a Book called God's Promises for you: When you are Saddened by Loss John 14:1 - 7 1 "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me. 2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also. 4 You know where I am going, and you know the way." 5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going. How can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him." 1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 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?) Prince Edward Island Total population 146300 Muslim population (est.) 1127 Charlottetown does not currently (fall 2014) have a local CNMM network. Pray with us for God's people to come together in reaching Muslims cooperatively across denominational and organisational lines. More than 200 attended the Eid festival at the end of Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting during daylight hours and the reading of the Qur'an, at the Dar as-Salam mosque in 2014. This second mosque established in Charlottetown, the other being the Muslims Association of PEI. As of mid-2014,there are between 250 to 300 families, mostly in Charlottetown. The Muslims of Charlottetown see their community as symbolically important for this nation since this is known as the "birthplace of Canada". Yet we were established as the "Dominion of Canada" with an appeal not only to monarchial authority, but even more to God's higher Biblical authority as shown in Psalm 72:8, "May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth." Let us intercede together for: - the growing Muslim population of Charlottetown and spreading outward through PEI to encounter the Prince of Peace. - believers to have faith and vision to reach out to the Muslim Community in contextual ways to share the Gospel - churches and ministries to rise up in wisdom, knowledge and understanding, giving and training, coaching and encouragement to believers reaching out to Muslims locally. - a prayer movement to be established, feeding a growing move of Yahweh's Spirit in His churches and people , and an awakening an openness and spiritual hunger in Muslims for relationship with the Father through the Son. Adding further 30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020 Under the Keep Praying page When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and, of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be decorated and festivals will be held. For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam. You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak", which means Blessed Eid!" Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you know, and Muslims around the world: - Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue. Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other, "What does this mean?" 13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine." Peter's Speech at Pentecost 14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God, 'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.' - Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective discipleship movements among Muslim people. - Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus. Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house." Ideas for prayer - Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you - Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving Christ among Muslim people - Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality." - When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
