1) Proverbs 1, Proverbs 2, Proverbs 3

Proverbs 1

The Purpose and Theme

1 (Pr 10:1; 25:1) The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel:
2 To know wisdom and instruction,
to perceive the words of understanding,
3 to receive the instruction of wisdom,
justice, judgment, and equity;
4 (Pr 8:5) to give subtlety to the simple,
to the young man knowledge and discretion -
5 (Pr 9:9) a wise man will hear and will increase learning,
and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
6 (Ps 78:2; 49:4) to understand a proverb and the interpretation,
the words of the wise and their riddles.
7 (Pr 9:10; Job 28:28; Ecc 12:13 ) The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction;
To perceive the words of understanding;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom,
Justice, and judgment, and equity;
4 To give subtilty to the simple,
To the young man knowledge and discretion.
5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;
And a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation;
The words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge:
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The Prologue: Embrace Wisdom

8 (Pr 6:20) My son, hear the instruction of your father,
and do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
9 (Pr 4:9; Ge 41:42) for they will be a garland of grace on your head,
and chains about your neck.
10 (Eph 5:11; Ps 50:18) My son, if sinners entice you,
do not consent.
11 (Pr 1:18; 12:6) If they say, "Come with us,
let us lie in wait for blood;
let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 (Ps 28:1; 124:3) let us swallow them up alive as the grave,
and whole, as those who go down into the pit;
13 we will find all kinds of precious possessions;
we will fill our houses with spoil;
14 cast in your lot among us,
let us all have one purse"
15 (Ps 1:1; 119:101 ) my son, do not walk in the way with them,
keep your foot from their path;
16 (Pr 6:18; Isa 59:7) for their feet run to evil
and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread
in the sight of any bird.
18 They lie in wait for their own blood;
they lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 (Pr 15:27) So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain,
which takes away the life of its owners.

8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father,
And forsake not the law of thy mother:
9 For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head,
And chains about thy neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee,
Consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood,
Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave;
And whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance,
We shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us;
Let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them;
Refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil,
And make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread
In the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood;
They lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;
Which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

The Call of Wisdom

20 (Pr 9:3; Jn 7:37) Wisdom cries out in the street;
she utters her voice in the markets.
21 She cries at the corner of the streets, in the openings of the gates;
she speaks her words in the city, saying:
22 (Ps 1:1; Pr 1:29) "How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For the scorners delight in their scorning,
and fools hate knowledge.
23 (Joel 2:28; Isa 32:15) Turn at my reproof;
surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
24 (Isa 65:12; 66:4) Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded,
25 (Ps 107:11; Pr 1:30) because you neglected all my counsel,
and would have none of my reproof,
26 (Ps 2:4; Pr 10:24) I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your fear comes,
27 when your fear comes as desolation
and your destruction comes as a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 (Job 27:9; Isa 1:15) "Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me early, but they will not find me.
29 (Pr 1:22) Because they hated knowledge
and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (Pr 1:25; Ps 81:11) they would have none of my counsel
and despised all my reproof.
31 (Job 4:8; Pr 14:14) Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way,
and be filled with their own devices.
32 (Jer 2:19) For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
and the prosperity of fools will destroy them.
33 (Ps 25:12-13) But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
and will be secure from fear of evil."

The Cry of Wisdom
20 Wisdom crieth without;
She uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates:
In the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?
And the scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof:
Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you,
I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused;
I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel,
And would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation,
And your destruction cometh as a whirlwind;
When distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer;
They shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge,
And did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel:
They despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
And be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them,
An d the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely,
And shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Proverbs 2

The Value of Wisdom

1 (Pr 3:1; 4:1) My son, if you will receive my words,
and hide my commandments within you,
2 so that you incline your ear to wisdom,
and apply your heart to understanding;
3 yes, if you cry out for knowledge,
and lift up your voice for understanding,
4 (Mt 13:44; Job 3:21) if you seek her as silver,
and search for her as for hidden treasures,
5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
and find the knowledge of God.
6 (1Ki 3:12; Job 32:8) For the Lord gives wisdom;
out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 (Ps 84:11; Pr 30:5) He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.
8 (1Sa 2:9; Ps 66:9) He keeps the paths of justice,
and preserves the way of His saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and judgment
and equity, and every good path.
10 When wisdom enters your heart,
and knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
11 (Pr 4:6) discretion will preserve you;
understanding will keep you,
12 to deliver you from the way of the evil man,
from the man who speaks perverse things,
13 (Pr 4:19; Jn 3:19-20) from those who leave the paths of uprightness
to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 (Pr 10:23; Jer 11:15) who rejoice to do evil,
and delight in the perversity of the wicked;
15 (Ps 125:5; Pr 21:8) whose ways are crooked,
and who are devious in their paths;
16 (Pr 6:24; 23:27; 7:5-23) to deliver you from the immoral woman,
even from the seductress who flatters with her words,
17 (Jer 3:4) who forsakes the guide of her youth,
and forgets the covenant of her God.
18 For her house leads down to death,
and her paths to the departed spirits;
19 (Ecc 7:26) none who go to her return again,
nor do they take hold of the paths of life.
20 (Heb 6:12) So you may walk in the way of good men
and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 (Ps 37:29; 37:9) For the upright will dwell in the land,
and the innocent will remain in it;
22 (Ps 52:5) but the wicked will be cut off from the earth,
and the transgressors will be rooted out of it.

Proverbs 2
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words,
And hide my commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,
And apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,
And liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver,
And searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom:
Out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous:
He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment,
And preserveth the way of his saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment,
And equity; yea, every good path.
10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart,
And knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee,
Understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man,
From the man that speaketh froward things;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness,
To walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil,
And delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked,
And they froward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman,
Even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth,
And forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth unto death,
And her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again,
Neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men,
And keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land,
And the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth,
And the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Proverbs 3

The Rewards of Wisdom

1 (Pr 4:5; Dt 8:1) My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments;
2 (Pr 4:10; Ps 91:16) for length of days and long life
and peace will they add to you.
3 (Pr 7:3; 6:21; 2Co 3:3) Do not let mercy and truth forsake you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart,
4 (Ps 111:10; 1Sa 2:26; Lk 2:52) so you will find favor and good understanding
in the sight of God and man.
5 (Ps 37:3; 37:5) Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 (1Ch 28:9; Pr 16:3; Jer 10:23) in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will direct your paths.
7 (Job 1:1; Ro 12:16) Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and depart from evil.
8 (Job 21:24; Pr 4:22) It will be health to your body,
and strength to your bones.
9 (Ex 23:19; 22:29) Honor the Lord with your substance,
and with the first fruits of all your increase;
10 (Dt 28:8) so your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your presses will burst out with new wine.
11 (Job 5:17) My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
nor be weary of His correction;
12 (Dt 8:5) for whom the Lord loves He corrects,
even as a father the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
and the man who gets understanding;
14 (Pr 8:19; 16:16) for her benefit is more profitable than silver,
and her gain than fine gold.
15 (Pr 8:11; Job 28:18) She is more precious than rubies,
and all the things you may desire are not to be compared with her.
16 (Pr 3:2) Length of days is in her right hand,
and in her left hand riches and honor.
17 (Ps 119:165; Mt 11:28-30) Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 (Ge 2:9; Pr 11:30) She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
and happy is everyone who retains her.
19 (Ps 104:24; 136:5) The Lord by wisdom has founded the earth;
by understanding He has established the heavens;
20 (Ge 7:11; Dt 33:28) by His knowledge the depths are broken up,
and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 (Pr 4:21) My son, let them not depart from your eyes-
keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22 (Pr 1:9; 4:22) so they will be life to your soul
and grace to your neck.
23 (Pr 4:12; 10:9) Then you will walk safely in your way,
and your foot will not stumble.
24 (Ps 3:5; Pr 6:22) When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
25 (Ps 91:5; 1Pe 3:14) Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26 (1Sa 2:9)for the Lord will be your confidence,
and will keep your foot from being caught.
27 (Gal 6:10; Ro 13:7 ) Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 (Lev 19:13) Do not say to your neighbor,
"Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give it,"
when you have it with you.
29 (Pr 6:14) Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
seeing he dwells securely by you.
30 Do not strive with a man without cause,
if he has done you no harm.
31 (Ps 37:1; Pr 24:1) Do not envy the oppressor,
and choose none of his ways;
32 (Ps 25:14; Pr 11:20) for the perverse is an abomination to the Lord,
but His secret counsel is with the righteous.
33 (Mal 2:2; Ps 1:3) The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked,
but He blesses the habitation of the just.
34 (Jas 4:6; 1Pe 5:5; Ps 138:6) Surely He scorns the scornful,
but He gives favor to the humble.
35 The wise will inherit glory,
but shame will be the legacy of fools.

Proverbs 3
1 My son, forget not my law;
But let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 For length of days, and long life,
And peace, shall they add to thee.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee:
Bind them about thy neck;
Write them upon the table of thine heart:
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding
In the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
And lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,
And he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes:
Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel,
And marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance,
And with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
And thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD;
Neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth;
Even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
And the man that getteth understanding.
14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver,
And the gain thereof than fine gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies:
And all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16 Length of days is in her right hand;
And in her left hand riches and honour.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
And happy is every one that retaineth her.
19 The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth;
By understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up,
And the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes:
Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul,
And grace to thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely,
And thy foot shall not stumble.
24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid:
Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25 Be not afraid of sudden fear,
Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26 For the LORD shall be thy confidence,
And shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again,
And to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour,
Seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with a man without cause,
If he have done thee no harm.
31 Envy thou not the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways.
32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD:
But his secret is with the righteous.
33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked:
But he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34 Surely he scorneth the scorners:
But he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35 The wise shall inherit glory:
But shame shall be the promotion of fools.

Deuteronomy 14:23-29

23 (Dt 4:10; 12:5-7) You must eat before the Lord your God,
in the place in which He shall choose to place His name,
the tithe of your grain, of your wine, of your oil,
and of the firstborn of your herds and of your flocks so that
you may learn to always fear the Lord your God.
24 (Dt 12:21; 12:5) If the distance is too long for you, so that you are
not able to carry it, because the place is too far from you, where
the Lord your God shall choose to set His name, when the Lord
your God blesses you,
25 then you shall exchange it for money and bind up the money
in your hand and go to the place which the Lord your God shall choose.
26 (Dt 12:7; Ecc 9:7) Then you may spend that money for whatever
your heart desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink,
or for whatever your heart desires, and you may eat there before the Lord
your God, and you shall rejoice, you, and your household,
27 (Nu 18:20; Dt 14:29) and the Levite that is within your gates.
You must not forsake him, for he has no portion or inheritance with you.
28 (Dt 14:22; Am 4:4) At the end of three years you must bring forth
all the tithe of your produce the same year and lay it up within your gates.
29 (Dt 15:10; 14:27) Then the Levite (because he has no portion
or inheritance with you), the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow,
who are within your gates, shall come and shall eat and be satisfied,
so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand
which you do. 

[23] And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall
choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of
thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou
mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
[24] And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry
it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall
choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
[25] Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine
hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
[26] And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after,
for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever
thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and
thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
[27] And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him;
for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
[28] At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine
increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
[29] And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,)
and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy
gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may
bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.

When Oswald and Biddy Chambers ran a Bible college in London from 1911 
to 1915, they continued with their life principle of not turning away those in
need. Astute Londoners were aghast at this practice, thinking the college 
would be taken advantage of. In response, Oswald observed, without inviting 
others to follow in the practice, "My responsibility is to give. 
God will look after who asks."

The couple followed the example of our generous Creator. Through His 
instructions to Moses, God laid out gracious ways for His people to live and 
serve others, including the giving of their food and possessions. Moses told 
the Israelites at the end of every three years to "bring all the tithes" so 
the Levites, "foreigners, the fatherless and the widows," could come and 
"eat and be satisfied" (Deuteronomy 14:28-29). Through the generosity of His 
people, God cares for the vulnerable.

The Chambers' trust in God was so strong that they gave willingly and without 
question. They'd learned to "revere . . . God always" (v. 23) and receive His 
blessing "in all the work of [their] hands" (v. 29).

We may also feel inspired to give freely while we lean on God for wisdom and 
discernment. We know that God will generously lead and guide as He provides 
for the foreigners, the fatherless, and the widows.

Reflect & Pray

What’s your view and practice of giving? 
How has God provided for your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs?

Generous God, I look to You for all I need. I know 
that You're the source of all good things. I worship You.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 2 - The key to the Prison Cell

Matt 6:14-15

14 For if you forgive men for their sins, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men for their sins,
neither will your Father forgive your sins.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Ann had been badly wounded in a relationship that had ended in anger
and accusation. For more than a year, Ann nursed her bitterness, rallying
support for her attitudes from friends and colleagues. Any time she saw
her former friend, Ann put up an icy wall of hostility. She thought she was
"getting over" the hurt, but the very mention of her friend's name brought
back a flood of negative feelings. Ann was trapped, locked in a prison of
unforgiveness , a jail built block by block by her own unwillingness to
forgive. Ann didn't "get over it"; instead, her wounds festered
and her bitterness grew worse.
Then one day - she never knew how - Ann let go of her bitterness. The barriers
of hostility and anger melted away, and when she saw her friend again, she was
able to forgive. And Ann was finally able to turn to the Lord for her own
healing and forgiveness.
"If you do not forgive," Jesus says - and the statement falls hard on
unforgiving hearts, "Neither will you be forgiven." In one sense, God's
forgiveness is unconditional - we do not have to earn or deserve it, and it is
always available to us. But we cannot experience the forgiveness God has
extended to us when we harbour unforgiveness towards others and build walls
of bitterness in our hearts.
When we refuse forgiveness toward those who have hurt or betrayed us, we do
not keep them in bondage, but ourselves. We lock ourselves away for an
awareness of God's loving presence; we imprison ourselves in a cell of
revenge. But when we reach out to forgive, we turn in the lock;
the door is open for our own sins to be forgiven and our own hearts
cleansed and purified.

Application

a) Why is forgiving others a condition for experiencing forgiveness
in my own life?

b) How can these verses have a practical effect upon my willingness
to forgive others?

4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland

Deut 8:18

18 But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you
the ability to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant which
He swore to your fathers, as it is today.

18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee
power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto
thy fathers, as it is this day.

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

When you are lonely

PSALMS 25:15-21

15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
for He will lead my feet from the net.
16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,
for I am isolated and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
bring me out of my distresses.
18 Look on my pain and misery,
and forgive all my sins.
19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,
and they hate me with violent hatred.
20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!
Let me not suffer shame,
for I seek refuge in You.
21 Truth and integrity will preserve me
while I wait for You.

15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;
For he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;
For I am desolate and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:
O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain;
And forgive all my sins.
19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:
Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;
For I wait on thee.

Remember God's promises when You pray

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.

Quebec

Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec

Quebec 2015 population  8214 000

est Muslim Population    418946

CNMM Networks:  Montreal

There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering
of Muslims scattered around the rest of the province, yet the vast majority
of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim
population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone
African Muslims are attracted to La Belle Provence.
And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more 
Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians. 
This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches
and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small 
by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that
is often either indifferent to religion  or resistant to it.  And now 
this 'new'  religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly 
or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br
easy for Christians to feel overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy, 
yet God has always worked miracles through the small, the few.
Agree in prayer for :

- The people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel
- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding
-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting 
together for worship!
- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for
  reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid  celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that 
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you 
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; 
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants 
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: 
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
	Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15  : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under 
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the 
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people - 
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims 
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days! 

And 

Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager, 
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians 
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before. 
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution 
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction. 
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through 
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom 
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy 
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, 
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 

ROMANS 15:13

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
