Proverbs 7

Beware of the Adulteress

1 (Pr 1:8) My son, keep my words,
and lay up my commandments within you.
2 (Dt 32:10; Ps 17:8) Keep my commandments and live,
and my teaching as the apple of your eye.
3 (Pr 3:3; 6:21) Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"
and call understanding your kinswoman,
5 (Pr 2:16; 6:24) that they may keep you from the immoral woman,
from the seductress who flatters with her words.
6 For at the window of my house
I looked through my casement,
7 (Pr 6:32; 1:22) and saw among the simple ones,
I discerned among the youths,
a young man void of understanding,
8 passing through the street near her corner;
and he went the way to her house
9 in the twilight, in the evening,
in the black and dark night.
10 (Ge 38:14-15; 1Ti 2:9) And there a woman met him,
with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
11 (Pr 9:13; Titus 2:5) She is loud and stubborn;
her feet do not abide in her house.
12 (Pr 23:28; 9:14) Now she is without, now in the streets,
and lies in wait at every corner.
13 (Ge 39:12) So she caught him, and kissed him;
and with an impudent face said to him:
14 (Lev 7:11) "I have peace offerings with me;
this day have I paid my vows.
15 Therefore I came out to meet you,
diligently to seek your face, and I have found you.
16 (Isa 19:9; Eze 27:7) I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,
with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17 (Ps 45:8) I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning;
let us solace ourselves with love.
19 (Mt 20:11) For my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20 he has taken a bag of money with him,
and will come home at the day appointed."
21 (Pr 5:3; Ps 12:2) With her enticing speech she caused him to yield,
with the flattering of her lips she seduced him.
22 He went after her straightway,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23 (Ecc 9:12) until a dart struck through his liver.
As a bird hastens to the snare,
he did not know that it would cost him his life.
24 (Pr 5:7; 4:1) Listen to me now therefore, O children,
and attend to the words of my mouth:
25 (Pr 5:8 ) do not let your heart turn aside to her ways,
do not go astray in her paths;
26 (Ne 13:26) for she has cast down many wounded,
and many strong men have been slain by her.
27 (Pr 5:5; 9:18) Her house is the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 7
1 My son, keep my words,
And lay up my commandments with thee.
2 Keep my commandments, and live;
And my law as the apple of thine eye.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers,
Write them upon the table of thine heart.
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister;
And call understanding thy kinswoman:
5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman,
From the stranger which flattereth with her words.
6 For at the window of my house
I looked through my casement,
7 And beheld among the simple ones,
I discerned among the youths,
A young man void of understanding,
8 Passing through the street near her corner;
And he went the way to her house,
9 In the twilight, in the evening,
In the black and dark night:
10 And, behold, there met him a woman
With the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
11 (She is loud and stubborn;
Her feet abide not in her house:
12 Now is she without, now in the streets,
And lieth in wait at every corner.)
13 So she caught him, and kissed him,
And with an impudent face said unto him,
14 I have peace offerings with me;
This day have I payed my vows.
15 Therefore came I forth to meet thee,
Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16 I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry,
With carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed
With myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning:
Let us solace ourselves with loves.
19 For the goodman is not at home,
He is gone a long journey:
20 He hath taken a bag of money with him,
And will come home at the day appointed.
21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield,
With the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22 He goeth after her straightway,
As an ox goeth to the slaughter,
Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23 Till a dart strike through his liver;
As a bird hasteth to the snare,
And knoweth not that it is for his life.
24 Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children,
And attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Let not thine heart decline to her ways,
Go not astray in her paths.
26 For she hath cast down many wounded:
Yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27 Her house is the way to hell,
Going down to the chambers of death.

Proverbs 8
The Virtue of Wisdom
1 (Pr 1:20-21) Does not wisdom cry out,
and understanding lift up her voice?
2 She stands on the top of high places,
by the way in the places of the paths.
3 (Job 29:7) She cries out at the gates,
at the entry of the city, at the entrance of the doors:
4 "To you, O men, I call,
and my voice is to the sons of men.
5 (Pr 1:22; 1:4) O you simple, understand wisdom,
and you fools, be of an understanding heart.
6 Hear, for I will speak of excellent things,
and from the opening of my lips will be right things;
7 (Jn 8:14; Ps 37:30) for my mouth will speak truth,
and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
there is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9 (Pr 14:6) They are all plain to him who understands,
and right to those who find knowledge.
10 (Ps 119:72; 119:127) Receive my instruction, and not silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold;
11 (Job 28:15-19; Ps 19:10) for wisdom is better than rubies,
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 (Pr 1:4 ) "I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,
and find out knowledge and discretion.
13 (Pr 16:6; Ps 97:10) The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
pride and arrogance
and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.
14 (Ecc 7:19; Isa 9:6) Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom;
I am understanding, I have strength.
15 (Da 2:21; Ro 13:1) By me kings reign,
and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule,
and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 (1Sa 2:30; Jn 14:21) I love those who love me,
and those who seek me early will find me.
18 (Pr 3:16; Mt 6:33) Riches and honor are with me,
yes, enduring riches and righteousness.
19 (Pr 3:14; 8:10) My fruit is better than gold,
yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of justice,
21 that I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth,
and I will fill their treasuries.
22 (Pr 3:19) "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way,
before His works of old.
23 (Ps 2:6) I was set up from everlasting,
from the beginning, before there was ever an earth.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth,
when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 (Ps 90:2) Before the mountains were settled,
before the hills I was brought forth;
26 while as yet He had not made the earth or the fields,
or the first dust of the world.
27 (Pr 3:19; Isa 40:22) When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
when He drew a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when He established the clouds above,
when He strengthened the fountains of the deep,
29 (Ps 104:9; Ge 1:9-10) when He gave to the sea His decree,
that the waters should not pass His commandment,
when He appointed the foundations of the earth,
30 (Jn 1:1-3; Mt 3:17) then I was by Him, as one brought up with Him;
and I was daily His delight,
rejoicing always before Him,
31 (Ps 16:3; Jn 13:1) rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth,
and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 (Ps 119:1-2; Lk 11:28) "Now therefore listen to me, O you children,
for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 (Pr 4:1) Hear instruction, and be wise,
and do not refuse it.
34 (Pr 3:13) Blessed is the man who hears me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 (Pr 12:2; 3:13-18) For whoever finds me finds life,
and will obtain favor of the Lord;
36 (Pr 1:31; 15:32) but he who sins against me wrongs his own soul;
all those who hate me love death."

Proverbs 8
Wisdom and Folly
1 Doth not wisdom cry?
And understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way
In the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call;
And my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom:
And, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things;
And the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth;
And wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness;
There is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth,
And right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver;
And knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies;
And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence,
And find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil:
Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way,
And the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom:
I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign,
And princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule,
And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me;
And those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me;
Yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold;
And my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness,
In the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;
And I will fill their treasures.
22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way,
Before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning,
Or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth;
When there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled,
Before the hills was I brought forth:
26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
Nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there:
When he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 When he established the clouds above:
When he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 When he gave to the sea his decree,
That the waters should not pass his commandment:
When he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him:
And I was daily his delight,
Rejoicing always before him;
31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth;
And my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children:
For blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise,
And refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me,
Watching daily at my gates,
Waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life,
And shall obtain favour of the LORD.
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul:
All they that hate me love death.

Proverbs 9

The Way of Wisdom

1 (Eph 2:20-22; Mt 16:18) Wisdom has built her house,
she has hewn out her seven pillars;
2 (Pr 23:30) she has killed her beasts, she has mixed her wine,
she has also furnished her table.
3 (Pr 9:14; 8:1-3) She has sent out her maidens,
she cries out from the highest places of the city,
4 (Pr 6:32; 9:16) "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here."
As for him who wants understanding, she says to him,
5 (SS 5:1; Jn 6:27) "Come, eat of my bread,
and drink of the wine which I have mixed.
6 Forsake foolishness and live,
and go in the way of understanding."
7 He who reproves a scorner gets shame for himself,
and he who rebukes a wicked man gets hurt.
8 (Ps 141:5; Mt 7:6 ) Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you;
rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.
9 (Pr 1:5) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser;
teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 (Pr 1:7; Job 28:28; Ps 111:10) The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
11 (Pr 10:27; 3:16) For by me your days will be multiplied,
and the years of your life will be increased.
12 (Job 22:2-3) If you are wise, you will be wise for yourself,
but if you scorn, you alone will bear it.

1 Wisdom hath builded her house,
She hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine;
She hath also furnished her table.
3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth
Upon the highest places of the city,
4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
As for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5 Come, eat of my bread,
And drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6 Forsake the foolish, and live;
And go in the way of understanding.
7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame:
And he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser:
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:
And the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied,
And the years of thy life shall be increased.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself:
But if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

The Way of Foolishness

13 (Pr 7:11; 5:6 ) A foolish woman is clamorous;
she is simple, and knows nothing.
14 (Pr 9:3) For she sits at the door of her house,
on a seat in the high places of the city,
15 to call those who pass by
who go right on their way:
16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here."
And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 (Pr 20:17; 30:20) "Stolen waters are sweet,
and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
18 (Pr 7:27) But he does not know that the dead are there,
and that her guests are in the depths of the grave.

13 A foolish woman is clamorous:
She is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14 For she sitteth at the door of her house,
On a seat in the high places of the city,
15 To call passengers
Who go right on their ways:
16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither:
And as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17 Stolen waters are sweet,
And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there;
And that her guests are in the depths of hell.

The Power of Music </a> by Winn Collier

1 Samuel 16:14-23 

David Serves Saul

14 (Jdg 9:23; 1Sa 18:10) Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul
and an evil spirit from the Lord terrified him.
15 So the servants of Saul said to him, "See, an evil spirit from
God troubles you.
16 (2Ki 3:15; 1Sa 16:21-23) Let our lord now tell your servants, who are
before you, that they might seek out a man experienced in playing the lyre.
And it will come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is on you,
that he will play with his hand, and you will be well."
17 Saul said to his servants, "Find me now a man that can play well,
and bring him to me."
18 (1Sa 3:19; 17:32-36) Then one from the servants answered, and said,
"I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is experienced in playing
music, a mighty man of valor, a man of battle, and skillful in words, even
a man of fine appearance. And the Lord is with him."
19 (1Sa 16:11; 17:15) Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said,
"Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."
20 (1Sa 10:27; Pr 18:16) Jesse took a donkey laden with bread,
a bottle of wine, and a young goat and he sent them with his son David to Saul.
21 (Ge 41:46; Pr 22:29) David came to Saul, and stood before him.
And Saul loved him greatly and he became his armor bearer.
22 Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David stand before me, for he has found
favor in my sight."
23 It happened that when the evil spirit from God came on Saul,
David would take the lyre in his hand and play. So Saul was refreshed
and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 

[14] But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from
the LORD troubled him.
[15] And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God
troubleth thee.
[16] Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek
out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass,
when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his
hand, and thou shalt be well.
[17] And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play
well, and bring him to me.
[18] Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son
of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant
man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the
LORD is with him.
[19] Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy
son, which is with the sheep.
[20] And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a
kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
[21] And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly;
and he became his armourbearer.
[22] And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before
me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
[23] And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that
David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was
well, and the evil spirit departed from him. 

On November 21, 1915, the hope of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his twenty-seven 
crew members sank, along with their ship Endurance, into the darkness below 
the Antarctic ice. They were stranded thousands of miles from home. Later, 
the crew shared several things that aided their survival, including a banjo. 
Embarking on their brutal trek, Leonard Hussey (the expedition's 
meteorologist) was the only person allowed more than two pounds of personal 
gear. He was allowed to bring his twelve-pound Windsor banjo. "It's vital 
mental medicine," Shackleton told Hussey, "and we shall need it." The crew's 
journals explained the power of Hussey's music. "The banjo does . . . supply 
brain food," wrote one sailor. Another reflected on "Hussey's indispensable 
banjo."

The Bible presents music as one of God's immense gifts, a way His healing 
and comfort enter the human heart. In the tragic story of King Saul, we hear 
how (due to his disobedience) he was oppressed by 
an "evil spirit" (1 Samuel 16:14). And what did Saul’s attendants believe 
the king needed to provide relief? Music. So they found young David with 
his harp: "David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come 
to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him" (v. 23).

Music offers more than mere entertainment. It can bring joy, renew hope, 
and comfort weary souls. It's truly one of God's powerful gifts.

Reflect & Pray

What encouragement has music offered you? 
How has it deepened your relationship with God?

Dear God, thank You for the gift of music!

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 4 "Formula" for Forgiveness

Luke 17:3 - 4

3 (Lev 19:17; Mt 18:21)"Take heed to yourselves."
"If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. And if he repents,
forgive him.
4 (Mt 18:21-22) If he sins against you seven times in a day,
and seven times in a day turns to you, saying,
'I repent,' you must forgive him."

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;
and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,
and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;
thou shalt forgive him.

The context of these verses give us an interesting perspective of Jesus'
disciples. In a corollary passage in Matthew 18, the disciples (through
Peter, the designated mouthpiece) ask Jesus,
21 (Mt 18:15; Lk 17:3-4) Then Peter came to Him and said,
"Lord, how often shall I forgive my brother who sins against me?
Up to seven times?" (Matthew 18:21)
The disciples wanted a "formula" for forgiveness: they wanted to be able to
develop a checklist. Once, twice, maybe three times a brother could be
forgiven, but after that, you could write him off. After all, if
he keeps on offending over and over again, he doesn't deserve to be forgiven!
But Jesus says, " Rebuke him - let him know his fault; if he repents,
forgive him - even seven times in the same day!"
And the disciplines' response is predictable: "Lord, increase our faith!" They
were more comfortable with their own formula for forgiveness than with the
outrageous demands of the love that Christ imposed upon them.
We are so like the disciples. We want to draw a line and say. "This far
- no more. I'll forgive you once, but don't do it again. Now that you're
forgiven, you'd better shape up!". Yet God's love doesn't recognise "again".
He forgives, and no matter how often we come to him in repentance
for repeated offenses, his arms of forgiveness are open to us.
That is the way God wants us to forgive. He wants us to lay aside our
checklists, put away our suspicions, abandon our scoreboards, and forgive.
Seven times, or seventy times seven, as often as we have sinned against God
and been forgiven, we are to forgive.

Application

a) Have I ever kept a "scorecard" of performance on someone I
have forgiven ? Why?

b) Why do I need "increased faith" to be able to forgive as
Jesus calls me to?  

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.

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
