Day 85, 26 March 2025 1) Joshua 16 , Joshua 17, Joshua 18 JOSHUA 16 Allotment for Ephraim and Manasseh 1 (Jos 8:15; 18:12) The allotment of land for the descendants of Joseph was from the Jordan by Jericho then east into the wilderness, rising from Jericho to the hill country of Bethel. 2 (Jos 18:13; Ge 28:19) It goes out from Bethel to Luz and passes to the border of Arkite territory at Ataroth. 3 (Jos 10:33; 18:13) It goes down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, to the border of lower Beth Horon and Gezer, and then goes out to the sea. 4 (Jos 17:14) So the descendants of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. 5 (Jos 18:13) The territory of the Ephraimites, according to their clans, was as follows. The border of their inheritance on the east was Ataroth Addar as far as upper Beth Horon. 6 (Jos 17:7) The border goes out toward the sea with Mikmethath on the north. It turns eastward toward Taanath Shiloh and passes it on the east toward Janoah. 7 (1Ch 7:28) It descends from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, touches Jericho, and extends to the Jordan. 8 (Jos 17:8-9) From Tappuah the border goes west to the Kanah Ravine and out to the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the Ephraimites according to their clans. 9 The other cities for the Ephraimites were in the middle of the inheritance of the descendants of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages. 10 (Jdg 1:29; 1Ki 9:16) They did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim until this day performing heavy labor as slaves. Joshua 16 [1] And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel, [2] And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth, [3] And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea. [4] So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance. [5] And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper; [6] And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah; [7] And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. [8] The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families. [9] And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages. [10] And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute. JOSHUA 17 1 (Ge 41:51; Nu 26:29) Then allotment was made to the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph. To Makir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, were allotted Gilead and Bashan, because he was a warrior. 2 (Nu 26:29-32; 1Ch 7:18) And allotments were made to the rest of the tribe of Manasseh, according to their families: Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida; these were the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph, according to their families. 3 (Nu 26:33; 27:1) Yet Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Makir, son of Manasseh had no sons, only daughters. These were his daughters' names: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milkah, and Tirzah. 4 (Jos 14:1) They approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders, saying, "The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our relatives." So Joshua gave them an inheritance among their fathers' relatives according to the word of the Lord. 5 Therefore Manasseh received ten regions, apart from the lands of Gilead and Bashan on the east side of the Jordan, 6 because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons, and the rest of the people of Manasseh received the land of Gilead. 7 (Jos 21:21) The boundary of Manasseh was from Asher to Mikmethath east of Shechem, and it runs south toward the inhabitants of En Tappuah. 8 (Jos 16:8) Now Manasseh owned the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the Ephraimites. 9 Then the border descended to the Kanah Ravine, southward to the brook. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and it ended at the sea. 10 The land belonging to Ephraim was to the south, and the land belonging to Manasseh to the north. The Mediterranean Sea was the boundary of this territory, which bordered Asher in the north and Issachar in the east. 11 (1Ch 7:29; Jos 12:23) In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh was assigned districts: Beth Shan, Ibleam, Dor, Endor, Taanach, Megiddo, Naphoth, and their respective villages. 12 (Jdg 1:27-28) Yet the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of those cities, because the Canaanites were determined to live in that land. 13 (Jos 16:10) But when the children of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to hard labor as slaves, but they did not actually drive them out. 14 (Ge 48:19; 48:22) The descendants of Joseph said to Joshua, "Why have you assigned us a single allotment, a single portion? We are a numerous people, as the Lord has blessed us." 15 (Ge 14:5) Joshua said to them, "If you are a numerous people, go up to the forests and clear out a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you." 16 (Jdg 1:19; 4:3) The descendants of Joseph said, "The hill country is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites living in the plains have iron chariots, both those in Beth Shan and the Jezreel Valley." 17 Joshua said to Ephraim and Manasseh, the descendants of Joseph, "You are a numerous people who have great strength. There will not be only one allotment for you. 18 The hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest you shall clear it and own it to its borders. You shall drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and are strong." Joshua 17 [1] There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. [2] There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. [3] But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. [4] And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father. [5] And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan; [6] Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. [7] And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah. [8] Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; [9] And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea: [10] Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east. [11] And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries. [12] Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. [13] Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out. [14] And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto? [15] And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee. [16] And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. [17] And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only: [18] But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong. JOSHUA 18 Dividing the Rest of the Land 1 (Jos 19:51; 21:2) The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh and set up the tent of meeting there. The land was subdued before them. 2 Yet seven tribes among the children of Israel remained who had not yet received their inheritance. 3 (Jdg 18:9) So Joshua said to the children of Israel, "How long will you delay going in to possess the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you? 4 Select three men from each tribe, and I will send them out; and they will rise and go throughout the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and they will come back to me. 5 They shall divide it into seven portions. Judah will stay in their territory in the south, and the house of Joseph will stay in their territory in the north. 6 (Jos 14:2; 18:10) So describe the land in seven portions and return to me. Then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God. 7 (Jos 13:33; Nu 18:20) Yet there is no portion for the Levites among you, for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have acquired their inheritance on the east side of the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them." 8 So the men got up and left. Joshua commanded those who were leaving to survey the land, saying, "Go and walk back and forth throughout the land. Write a description of it, then return to me. Here in Shiloh I will cast lots for you before the Lord." 9 The men went and passed through the land. In a book they wrote a description of it by cities in seven portions, and they came back to Joshua at the Shiloh settlement. 10 (Jos 18:6) Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord. There Joshua apportioned the land for the children of Israel according to their divisions. [1] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them. [2] And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. [3] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? [4] Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me. [5] And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north. [6] Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. [7] But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them. [8] And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh. [9] And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh. [10] And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions. The Allotment for Benjamin 11 The lot of the tribe of Benjamin, according to their clans, came up. The territory allotted to it fell between Judah and Joseph. 12 (Jos 16:1; 7:2) Their northern border goes from the Jordan up the northern slope of Jericho. It runs westward into the hill country and extends to the wilderness of Beth Aven. 13 (Ge 28:19; Jos 16:2-3) The border passes from there southward toward Luz, to the slope of Luz (that is, Bethel), and descends to Ataroth Addar on the hill south of lower Beth Horon. 14 (Jos 15:9) On the western side, the border turns south from the hill that lies to the south near Beth Horon, and it extends to Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim), a city belonging to Judah. This is the western border. 15 (Jos 15:9) The southern border starts from Kiriath Jearim and goes out westward to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah. 16 (2Ki 23:10; Jos 15:7-8) The border then descends to the foot of the mountain that lies by the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is at the north end of the Valley of Rephaim. It descends from the Hinnom Valley to the slope of the Jebusites, then down to En Rogel. 17 (Jos 15:6) The border runs north and goes out to En Shemesh and Geliloth, which is opposite the Ascent of Adummim, and descends to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 18 (Jos 15:6) It passes toward the slope north of the Beth Arabah and descends to the Arabah. 19 (Ge 14:3; Jos 15:2) The border passes north of the slope of Beth Hoglah, and it runs out to the northern tip of the Dead Sea at the southern end of the Jordan. This is the southern border. 20 The Jordan forms the eastern boundary. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin, according to their clans, by its boundaries all around. 21 (Jos 18:12) The cities belonging to the tribe of Benjamin, according to their clans, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz, 22 Beth Arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel, 23 Avvim, Parah, Ophrah, 24 (Ezr 2:26) Kephar Ammoni, Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities with their villages. 25 (Jos 9:17) Also there were Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth, 26 Mizpah, Kephirah, Mozah, 27 Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah, 28 (Jos 15:8; 2Sa 21:14) Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah, and Kiriath: fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the tribe of Benjamin according to their clans. [11] And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph. [12] And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven. [13] And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Beth-horon. [14] And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter. [15] And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah: [16] And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel, [17] And was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben, [18] And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah: [19] And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast. [20] And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families. [21] Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz, [22] And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, [23] And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah, [24] And Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages: [25] Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, [26] And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, [27] And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, [28] And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families. 2) Our Daily Bread for 26 March 2025 titled <a href="https://www.odb.org/2025/03/26/shaped-by-god"> Shaped by God </a> Jeremiah 18:1-10 Jeremiah 18 The Potter and the Clay 1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: 2 (Jer 19:1-2) "Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My words." 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was making something on the wheel. 4 Yet the vessel that he made of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 (Isa 64:8; 45:9) O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says the Lord. As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. 7 (Jer 1:10) At one moment I may speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it. 8 (Jer 26:13; Eze 18:21) If that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to do to it. 9 (Jer 1:10; 31:28) Or at another moment I may speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom to build and to plant it. 10 (1Sa 2:30; Eze 33:18) If it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said I would bless it. Jeremiah 18 [1] The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, [2] Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. [3] Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. [4] And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. [5] Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, [6] O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. [7] At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; [8] If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. [9] And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; [10] If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. Dan Les, a lifelong potter, creates decorative vessels and sculptures. His award-winning designs are inspired by the town in Romania where he lives. Having learned the craft from his father, he made this comment about his work: "[Clay needs to] ferment for a year, to have rain fall on it, to freeze and thaw out [so that] . . . you can shape it and feel through your hands that it is listening to you." What happens when clay 'listens'? It's willing to yield to the artisan's touch. The prophet Jeremiah observed this when he visited a potter's house. He watched as the craftsman struggled with a vessel and finally reshaped it into something new (Jeremiah 18:4). God said to Jeremiah, "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand" (v. 6). God has the ability to build us up or bring us down, yet His ultimate purpose isn't to overpower or destroy us (vv. 7-10). Rather, He's like a skilled craftsman who can identify what isn't working and reshape the same lump of clay into something beautiful and useful. Listening clay doesn't have much to say about this. When prodded, it moves in the desired direction. When moulded, it stays in place. The question for us is this: are we willing to "humble [ourselves] under God's mighty hand" (1 Peter 5:6) so He can shape our lives into what He wants them to be? By: Jennifer Benson Schuldt Reflect & Pray How are you listening to God today? What do you think His purpose is for refining you through your life's experiences? Dear God, please help me to trust You. I want to submit my life to You. 3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 4 - Send for Help ! James 1:5 5 (Pr 2:3-6; Jn 15:7) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. A new employee in an electronics plant had the responsibility for overseeing one machine. The machine worked fine when the young man came on duty, but soon it began to run a bit rough. The employee tinkered with the machine, trying to "fix" it, until finally if stopped working altogether In fear and trembling the worker sent for the foreman, and stammered, "I - I, well, sir, I did my best to fix it." "Son", the foreman thundered, "you need to know only one thing. Around here, doing you best means sending for me!" Wisdom, James 1:5 says, has its source in God alone. And if we are to attain wisdom, we need to learn doing our best means sending for God. Often we spend time tinkering with our lives or the the lives of others. We don't think to as God for his wisdom in the decisions we must take; instead, we use our human reasoning and take our best guess. But the path to wisdom does not lie in guesswork. The scriptures give us clear indication of God's direction for his people, and through Bible study, application, prayer, and meditation, we can understand what God wants to reveal to us. "If any of you lacks wisdom," James says, "he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." The first step to attaining wisdom is recognising that we are not wise. The second step is to ask. And God, who is faithful to his Word and His people, will respond. Application a) Under what circumstances have I tinkered with my life, making it worse rather then fixing it? b) What practical steps can I take to ask God for wisdom? 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 The Lord's prayer Matthew 6:9-13 9 "Therefore pray in this manner: Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name. 10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come; Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. 11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread. 12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?) Saskatchewan Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400 est Muslim Population 17279 CNMM Networks: Saskatoon Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past 5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres of worship and an Islamic madrassah (school) located right next to a Christian school. Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded. Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to Islam. Agree in prayer with us for: - entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan. - for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation. - for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more to be raised up into effective witness. - for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon to spread and grow to other cities. Adding further <a href="https://www.pray30days.org/2025/pray-on-the-night-of-power"> Pray on the Night of Power</a> Afew years ago, on a previous Night of Power, two believers in Turkey were walking and praying along the seafront in Istanbul, asking God to speak to Turkish Muslims that night. Nearby, they overheard a couple having a video phone conversation with one of their mothers: "No, mom, still no baby. But tonight is the Night of Power and we will be praying all night for a miracle." Laylat al-Qadr, the 'Night of Power' or 'Night of Destiny', is one of the most sacred events in the Islamic calendar. Believed to be the night when the Qur'an was sent into the world and its first verses revealed to Muhammad, Muslims believe that prayers and good deeds done on this night are of greater value than those done in a thousand months. Some trust in the words of Muhammad when he said: "Whoever stands [in prayer] during the Night of Power out of belief and seeking reward, his previous sins are forgiven." (Sahih al-Bukhari 1901) Many Muslims spend the night praying for forgiveness of sins and reciting the Qur'an. The exact night of Laylat al-Qadr is debated by Islamic scholars, as it is believed to occur on any of the odd numbered days in the last ten days of Ramadan.
