God's Rescue Plan - Spiritual Law for sowing  and reaping

21 (Lk 12:34) for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    ... provides for The NEEDS of the church and its MINISTRY to our community.

Galatians 6

6 (Ro 15:27) Let him who is taught in the word share all good things
with him who teaches.

[6] Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in
all good things.

communicate , share, partake, contribute.

1 Corinthians 9:7-15

7 (Dt 20:6; Pr 27:18) Who goes to war at any time at his own expense?
Who plants a vineyard, but does not eat of its fruit? Or who feeds a flock,
but does not drink of the flock's milk?
8 Do I say these things as a man? Or does the law not say the same thing also?
9 (Dt 25:4; 1Ti 5:18) For it is written in the Law of Moses,
"You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox
while it treads out the grain." (Dt 25:4.) Is God concerned about oxen?
10 (2Ti 2:6) Or does He say it completely for our sake? For our sake,
no doubt, this is written so that he who plows should plow in hope,
and that he who threshes in hope should partake of his hope.
11 (Ro 15:27; Gal 6:6) If we have sown for you spiritual things, is it
a great thing if we shall reap your material things?
12 (1Co 9:18; 2Co 11:12) If others partake of this right over you,
should not we instead?
Nevertheless, we have not used this right, but suffer all things,
lest we might hinder the gospel of Christ.
13 (Lev 6:26; Nu 18:8-20) Do you not know that those who minister
unto holy things live from the things of the temple?
And do you not know that those who wait at the altar partake of the altar?
14 (Mt 10:10; 1Co 9:4) In the same way, the Lord has ordained that those
who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.
15 (Ac 18:3; 1Co 9:12) But I have used none of these rights,
nor have I written these things that it should be so done to me.
For it would be better for me to die than allow anyone
to make my boasting void.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a
vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and
eateth not of the milk of the flock?
[8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
[9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth
of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
[10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this
is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that
thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
[11] If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we
shall reap your carnal things?
[12] If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather?
Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we
should hinder the gospel of Christ.
[13] Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the
things of the temple? and they which wait at the alter are partakers with
the alter?
[14] Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should
live of the gospel.
[15] But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these
things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die,
than that any man should make my glorying void. 

1 Timothy 5:17-18

17 (Ro 12:8; Php 2:29) Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy
of double honour, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.
18 (Dt 25:4; Lev 19:13; Mt 10:10) For the Scripture says, "You shall not
muzzle the ox that treads out the grain,"(Dt 25:4.) and, "The laborer is
worthy of his reward."(Lk 10:7.) 

[17] Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour,
especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
[18] For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out
the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 

Ephesians 4:11-16

11 (Ac 21:8; 13:1) He gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists,
pastors, and teachers,
12 (1Co 12:27; Eph 1:23) for the equipping of the saints, for the work
of service, and for the building up of the body of Christ,
13 (Eph 4:5; 1:23) until we all come into the unity of the faith
and of the knowledge of the Son of God, into a complete man,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14 (Jas 1:6; 1Co 14:20) so we may no longer be children, tossed here
and there by waves and carried about with every wind of doctrine
by the trickery of men, by craftiness with deceitful scheming.
15 (Eph 1:22; 2:21) But, speaking the truth in love, we may grow up
in all things into Him, who is the head, Christ Himself,
16 (Col 2:19; Eph 1:4) from whom the whole body is joined together
and connected by every joint and ligament, as every part effectively
does its work and grows, building itself up in love. 

[11] And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
and some, pastors and teachers;
[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the
edifying of the body of Christ:
[13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the
Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the
fulness of Christ:
[14] That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
[15] But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,
which is the head, even Christ:
[16] From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that
which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the
measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love. 

Ephesians 2:10

10 (Eph 4:24; 2Co 5:17; Eph 1:4) For we are His workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand,
so that we should walk in them.

[10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

B) ... multiplies blessings back to us.

Galatians 6

7 (1Co 6:9; 2Co 9:6) Be not deceived. God is not mocked.
For whatever a man sows, that will he also reap.

[7] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap.

Psalm 119:29

29 Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me Your law. 

[29] Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously. 

1 Thessolonians 5:23

23 (Ro 15:33; Heb 4:12) May the very God of peace sanctify you completely.
And I pray to God that your whole spirit, soul,
and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

[23] And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your
whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. 

2 Corinthians 9:6-15

6 (Pr 22:9; Lk 6:38) But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap
sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 (Ex 25:2; 2Co 8:12) Let every man give according to the purposes
in his heart, not grudgingly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful
giver.
8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you, so that you,
always having enough of everything, may abound to every good work.
9 (Ps 112:9) As it is written:
"He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor;
His righteousness remains forever."(Ps 112:9.)
10 (Isa 55:10; Hos 10:12) Now He who supplies seed to the sower and supplies
bread for your food will also multiply your seed sown and increase the fruits
of your righteousness.
11 (2Co 1:11; 1Co 1:5) So you will be enriched in everything to all
bountifulness, which makes us give thanks to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the need
of the saints, but is abundant also through many thanksgivings to God.
13 (Mt 5:16) Meanwhile, through the performance of this ministry,
they glorify God for the profession of your faith in the gospel of Christ
and for your liberal sharing with them and with all others.
14 And in their prayer for you, they long for you because of the surpassing
grace of God in you.
15 (2Co 2:14; Jn 3:16) Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift. 


[6] But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and
he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
[7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not
grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
[8] And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always
having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
[9] (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor:
his righteousness remaineth for ever.
[10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your
food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your
righteousness;)
[11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth
through us thanksgiving to God.
[12] For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of
the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
[13] Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your
professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal
distribution unto them, and unto all men;
[14] And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding
grace of God in you.
[15] Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 

Galatians 6

8 (Jas 3:18; Job 4:8; Hos 8:7) For the one who sows to his own flesh
will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit
will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

[8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Malachi 3:6-12

Withholding Tithes

6 (Nu 23:19; Jas 1:17; Heb 13:8) For I am the Lord, I do not change;
therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.
7 (Zec 1:3) From the days of your fathers you have gone away from
My ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return
to you, says the Lord of Hosts.
But you say, "How shall we return?"
8 Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me.
But you say, "How have we robbed You?"
In tithes and offerings.
9 (Mal 2:2) You are cursed with a curse, your whole nation,
for you are robbing Me.
10 (Ge 7:11; 2Ki 7:2) Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,
says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open for you the windows
of heaven and pour out for you a blessing, that there will not be room
enough to receive it.
11 I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that it will not
estroy the fruit of your ground, and the vines in your field will not
fail to bear fruit, says the Lord of Hosts.
12 (Isa 61:9; 62:4) Then all the nations will call you blessed,
for you will be a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.

[6] For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not
consumed.
[7] Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine
ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto
you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
[8] Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we
robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
[9] Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole
nation.
[10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will
not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive it.
[11] And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the
time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
[12] And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome
land, saith the LORD of hosts. 

Matthew 6:14-15

14 (Mk 11:25; Eph 4:32) For if you forgive men for their sins,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 (Mt 18:35)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. 

Galatians 6

9 (Heb 12:3; 1Co 15:58; Heb 12:5) And let us not grow weary in doing good,
for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.

if we faint not.

1 (Lk 6:37; Jas 4:11-12) "Judge not, that you be not judged.

And with the measure you use, it will be measured again for you.

[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what
measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 

Luke 6:37-38

37 (Mk 11:25; Eph 4:32) "Judge not, and you shall not be judged.
Condemn not, and you will not be condemned.
Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.
38 (Ps 79:12; Mk 4:24) Give, and it will be given to you:
Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over
will men give unto you. For with the measure you use,
it will be measured unto you."

[37] Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall
not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
[38] Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and
shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with
the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 

Galatians 6

10 (Eph 2:19; Jn 12:35) Therefore, as we have opportunity,
let us do good to all people, especially to those who are of
the household of faith.

[10] As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

21 (1Co 3:16-17) in whom the entire building, tightly framed together,
grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
22 (1Co 3:16) in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling
place of God through the Spirit. 

[21] In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy
temple in the Lord:
[22] In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through
the Spirit. 

Ephesians 1:4

4 (Eph 5:27; Col 1:22) just as He chose us in Him before the foundation
of the world, to be holy and blameless before Him in love; 

[4] According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 

1 Thessalonians 4:17

17 (Jn 12:26; Ac 1:9) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we
shall be forever with the Lord. 

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord.

and have redeemed us to God by Your blood
out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 (Rev 1:6; 20:6) and have made us kings and priests unto our God;
and we shall reign on the earth." 

[9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and
to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God
by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
[10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on
the earth.

"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 (Mk 16:15-16; Ac 1:8) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 (Mt 18:20; Ac 2:42) teaching them to observe all things I have commanded
you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.

[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth.

10 (Isa 55:10; Hos 10:12) Now He who supplies seed to the sower and supplies
bread for your food will also multiply your seed sown and increase the fruits
of your righteousness.
11 (2Co 1:11; 1Co 1:5) So you will be enriched in everything to all
bountifulness, which makes us give thanks to God.

[10] Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your
food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your
righteousness;)
[11] Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth
through us thanksgiving to God.

C) A Word of Warning

While coveting after money, some have strayed from the faith
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, 
all who were able to go out to war in Israel. 
46 (Ex 12:37; 38:26) Even all they who were numbered 
were 603550 .
47 (Nu 2:33; 3:1-4:49) But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers
 were not numbered among them. 
48 For the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying: 
49 (Nu 26:62) Only you will not number the tribe of Levi,
nor take the census of them among the children of Israel,
50 (Ex 38:21; 31:18; Nu 4:15) but you will appoint the Levites over the tent 
of the testimony, and over all its vessels, 
and over all things that belong to it. They will carry the tabernacle, 
and all its vessels, and they will minister to it, 
and will camp around the tabernacle. 
51 (Nu 3:38; 3:10) When the tabernacle sets out, the Levites will take it down,
and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites will set it up, 
and the foreigner that approaches will be put to death. 
52 (Nu 2:2; 2:34) The children of Israel will pitch their tents, 
every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, 
throughout their armies. 
53 (Nu 16:46; Lev 10:6) But the Levites will camp around the tabernacle 
of the testimony, so there will be no wrath on the congregation 
of the children of Israel. And the Levites will keep the charge 
of the tabernacle of the testimony.
54 Thus the children of Israel did according 
to all that the Lord commanded Moses.

Numbers 1
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the
tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the

their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their
names, every male by their polls;

in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.

the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by
the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
[19] As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the wilderness of
Sinai.
[20] And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their generations,
after their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number

[29] Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Issachar, were
fifty and four thousand and four hundred.
[30] Of the children of Zebulun, by their generations, after their families,

[33] Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Ephraim, were
forty thousand and five hundred.
[34] Of the children of Manasseh, by their generations, after their

[36] Of the children of Benjamin, by their generations, after their
families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the
names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to
war;
[37] Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Benjamin, were

[38] Of the children of Dan, by their generations, after their families, by
the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from
twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;
[39] Those that were numbered of them, even of the tribe of Dan, were
threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
[40] Of the children of Asher, by their generations, after their families,
by the house of their fathers, according to the number of the names, from

the princes of Israel, being twelve men: each one was for the house of his
fathers.
[45] So were all those that were numbered of the children of Israel, by the
house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able
to go forth to war in Israel;
[46] Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three
thousand and five hundred and fifty.
[47] But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered
among them.
[48] For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
[49] Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of
them among the children of Israel:
[50] But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony,
and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it:
they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall
minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.
[51] And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it
down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up:
and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
[52] And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his
own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.
[53] But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony,
that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and
the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
[54] And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded
Moses, so did they.

Psalms 1
BOOK ONE
Psalms 1-41
1 Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and in His law he meditates day and night.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season;
its leaf will not wither,
and whatever he does will prosper.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) The ungodly are not so,
but are like the chaff
which the wind drives away.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Therefore the ungodly will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the ungodly will perish.

Psalm 1
[1] Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
And in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
His leaf also shall not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
[4] The ungodly are not so:
But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
[5] Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
[6] For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Bill is an older retired gentleman who lives alone 
and recently had to give up driving. He needs help to pick up 
groceries, prescriptions, and get to church on Sundays. 
"But you know what," says Bill, "I love my days at home. 
I enjoy free worship music online and Bible teaching on the TV 
all day long." Bill spends his days surrounded by Scripture, prayer, 
and praise.

The habits we keep influence where our hearts are planted. 
Psalm 1 describes the habits of someone who has found favour in God: 
they delight in His truth, meditate on it often, and therefore 
do not follow the rebellious pattern of the world (vv. 1-2). 
Hardship will come to everyone, but a life established in the ways of God 
"is like a tree planted by streams of water . . . whose leaf does not wither"
(v. 3). Depending on our season of life, we might not be able to spend hours 
a day in Bible study. However, Jesus said He satisfies anyone who is thirsty 
that comes to Him, and the Holy Spirit fills His followers like a river 
(John 7:37-39). We can steep our hearts in living water through praise 
and Scripture, and also through caring for others, talking to God while 
we work, and asking for forgiveness when we mess up.

Following the wisdom of God plants our hearts in fertile soil. That life gets 
called righteous, and God watches over it (Psalm 1:6).

By:  Karen Pimpo

Reflect & Pray

What habits keep you planted by the life-giving water of Jesus? 
How does that change depending on what season of life you're in?

Dear Jesus, may I come to You when I feel thirsty and dry.

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 1 - The Joy of Confessing Christ

Romans 10:9-10

9 (Lk 12:8; Php 2:11)that if you confess with your mouth
Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from
the dead, you will be saved,
10 for with the heart one believes unto righteousness,
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation

[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be
saved.
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.

Teena, a college freshman, has just committed her life to Christ,
but she was apprehensive about telling anyone - until Bill appeared
on the scene. He plunked his coffee cup down on the table and smiled.
"I heard something exciting happened to you yesterday, Teena"
"Yeah", Teena paused and looked around, as if seeking an escape route.
"I , uh, well, I did it"
"Did what?"
"Well, I, ah, gave my life to God."
"That's wonderful!" Bill exclaimed.
He was still talking with Teena and encouraging he in her decision
when Maria walked by.
"Maria!" Bill called. "Teena wants to tell you something!"
Teena gasped , open-mouthed, then stammered,
" I - I committed my life to Christ."
Maria , similarly enthuasiatic, encouraged Teena in her commitment,
and within half an hour Teena was stopping her friends to tell them,
"Guess what? I've become a Christian! I belng to Jesus now!"
Teena had already surrendered her heart to Christ.
But when she confessed her decision aloud to others,
the truth of that transformation was confirmed by her.
Many of us have been raised to believe that 'faith is a private matter',
not to be discussed in polite company. Yet Paul makes clear the connection
between heart commitment and verbal confession. Just as my love for family
and friends deepens as I tell them I love them, so a person's love
for Christ is confirmed and stabilised
by speaking of that commitment to others.

Application

a) Have I been reluctant to tell others of my faith in Christ? Why?

b) What happens within me when I do tell others of my love for the Lord?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Mark 4:19

19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the desires for other things entering in choke the word,
and it proves unfruitful.

19 and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word,
and it becometh unfruitful.

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

When you are Burdened by Doubt

James 1:2 to 8

Faith and Wisdom

2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,
3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.
4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,
lacking nothing.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men
liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.
6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers
is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.
7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.
8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing.
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men
liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth
is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13


9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

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

Alberta 

Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta

Alberta 2015 population  4121700

est Muslim Population       195240

CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton

It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor.  It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries 
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still 
continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.

Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
  in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their 
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
  in these growing Muslim population centres.

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! 

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, ...) .
