Proverbs 30
The Sayings of Agur
1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle.
The man declares to Ithiel,
to Ithiel and Ukal:
2 (Ps 73:22) Surely I am more brutish than any man,
and have not the understanding of a man.
3 (Pr 9:10) I neither learned wisdom,
nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 (Jn 3:13; Job 26:8; Ps 2:7) Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is the name of His son,
if you know?
5 (Ps 12:6; 18:30) Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
6 (Dt 4:2; 12:32 ) Do not add to His words,
lest He reprove you, and you be found a liar.
7 Two things I have required of you;
do not deny me them before I die:
8 (Mt 6:11; Lk 11:3) Remove vanity and lies far from me-
give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me;
9 (Ex 20:7; Dt 31:20) lest I be full, and deny You,
and say, "Who is the Lord?"
or lest I be poor, and steal,
and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Do not accuse a servant to his master,
lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.
11 (Pr 20:20; 30:17 ) There is a generation that curses their father,
and does not bless its mother.
12 (Lk 18:11; Pr 16:2) There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
and yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13 (Pr 6:17; Ps 101:5) There is a generation-oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up.
14 (Job 29:17; Ps 14:4) There is a generation whose teeth are as swords,
and their jaw teeth as knives,
to devour the poor from off the earth,
and the needy from among men.
15 (Pr 6:16; 30:21) The leech has two daughters,
crying, "Give, give."
There are three things that are never satisfied,
indeed, four things never say, "It is enough":
16 (Pr 27:20; Hab 2:5) the grave, the barren womb,
the earth that is not filled with water,
and the fire that never says, "It is enough."
17 (Pr 23:22; Dt 21:18-21) The eye that mocks at his father,
and despises to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley will pick it out,
and the young eagles will eat it.
18 (Job 42:3) There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
indeed, four which I do not know:
19 the way of an eagle in the air,
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman;
she eats and wipes her mouth,
and says, "I have done no wickedness."
21 For three things the earth is disquieted,
and for four which it cannot bear:
22 (Pr 19:10; Ecc 10:7) for a servant when he reigns,
and a fool when he is filled with food,
23 for a hateful woman when she is married,
and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth,
but they are exceeding wise:
25 (Pr 6:6-8) The ants are a people not strong,
yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26 (Ps 104:18; Lev 11:5) the badgers are but a feeble folk,
yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27 (Joel 2:25) the locusts have no king,
yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 the spider takes hold with her hands,
and is in kings' palaces.
29 There are three things which go well,
indeed, four are comely in going:
30 Jdg 14:18 a lion which is strongest among beasts,
and does not turn away for any;
31 a strutting rooster, a male goat also,
and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 (Job 21:5; 40:4) If you have been foolish in lifting up yourself,
or if you have thought evil,
put your hand on your mouth.
33 (Pr 29:22) Surely the churning of milk brings forth butter,
and the wringing of the nose brings forth blood,
so the forcing of wrath brings forth strife.

[1] The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake
unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
[2] Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the
understanding of a man.
[3] I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
[4] Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the
wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath
established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his
son's name, if thou canst tell?
[5] Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their
trust in him.
[6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a
liar.
[7] Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
[8] Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me:
[9] Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be
poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
[10] Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be
found guilty.
[11] There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless
their mother.
[12] There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not
washed from their filthiness.
[13] There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids
are lifted up.
[14] There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth
as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among
men.
[15] The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three
things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
[16] The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with
water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
[17] The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother,
the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
[18] There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four
which I know not:
[19] The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the
way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
[20] Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her
mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
[21] For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot
bear:
[22] For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
[23] For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir
to her mistress.
[24] There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are
exceeding wise:
[25] The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the
summer;
[26] The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the
rocks;
[27] The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
[28] The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
[29] There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
[30] A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
[31] A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no
rising up.
[32] If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast
thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
[33] Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of
the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth
strife.

Proverbs 31

The Sayings of King Lemuel's Mother

1 The words of King Lemuel, an oracle that his mother taught him:
2 (Isa 49:15; 1Sa 1:11) What, my son? And what, the son of my womb?
And what, the son of my vows?
3 (Dt 17:17; Ne 13:26) Do not give your strength to women,
nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 (Ecc 10:17; Pr 20:1) It is not for kings, O Lemuel,
it is not for kings to drink wine,
nor for princes strong drink;
5 lest they drink and forget the law,
and pervert the justice of any of the afflicted.
6 (1Ti 5:23) Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish,
and wine to those who are of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty,
and remember his misery no more.
8 (Ps 82:3-4) Open your mouth for the speechless
in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 (Lev 19:15; Dt 1:16) Open your mouth, judge righteously,
and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

[1] The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
[2] What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
[3] Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth
kings.
[4] It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor
for princes strong drink:
[5] Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of
the afflicted.
[6] Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those
that be of heavy hearts.
[7] Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
[8] Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are
appointed to destruction.
[9] Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and
needy.

[31] Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in
the gates.

John 6:5-15

The Feeding of the Five Thousand
Mt 14:13-21; Mk 6:30-44; Lk 9:10-17

5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to Him, He said to Philip,
"Where shall we buy bread that these may eat?"
6 He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
7 Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient
for each of them to receive but a little."
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish.
But what are they among so many?"
10 Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass
in the place. So the men sat down, numbering about five thousand.
11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when He had given thanks,
He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who
were sitting down; and likewise, they distributed the fish,
as much as they wanted.
12 When they were filled, He told His disciples, "Collect the fragments
that remain, that nothing may be lost."
13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the fragments
of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14 When those men saw the sign which He had done, they then said,
"This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
15 Therefore, knowing that they would come and take Him by force
to make Him king, Jesus departed again to a mountain by Himself alone.

[5] When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto
him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
[6] And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
[7] Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient
for them, that every one of them may take a little.
[8] One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
[9] There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small
fishes: but what are they among so many?
[10] And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the
place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
[11] And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed
to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise
of the fishes as much as they would.
[12] When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the
fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
[13] Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with
the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto
them that had eaten.
[14] Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said,
This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
[15] When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by
force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

The 1957 war movie The Bridge on the River Kwai was so popular that fans 
flocked to Kanchanaburi in Thailand to look for the real-life iron bridge. 
They found the bridge, but it wasn't on the Kwai - the movie got the river's 
name wrong! Soon, however, that part of the Mae Klong River was renamed 
Kwae Yai (Kwai) so it would align with people's expectations.

Jesus never let the expectations of others cause Him to waver in His divine 
mission. People flocked to see Him because they heard of the signs 
and miracles He'd performed (John 6:2). When they found Him and believed 
that He was the promised Messiah, they wanted Him as a military leader so 
He'd save them from Roman rule. John says, "Jesus, knowing that they 
intended to come and make him king by force, 
withdrew again to a mountain by himself" (v. 15).

Despite the pressure to rescue people the way they wanted, Christ resolutely 
followed God's plan to rescue them the way they needed to be rescued
(Colossians 1:13) - not from earthly troubles but from the power 
of "sin and death" (Romans 8:2).

Jesus' unwavering will to provide what we need is why we can trust 
Him in all circumstances. When God's ways don't seem to align with 
our expectations, we can be assured that His plan is always 
better - because He doesn't waver in His will to save us.

Reflect & Pray

When have you felt that what God provided didn't 
live up to your expectations? What helps you to trust Him?

Dear God, because You're steadfast and unwavering in Your 
will to save, I know I can trust You to do what's best.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools

Week 4 - The Blessings of Grace Day 7 God's Bulldozer - Luke 3:5-6

5 (Isa 40:4; 42:16) Every valley shall be filled
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
and the crooked shall be made straight
and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 (Isa 40:5; 52:10) and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

5 Every valley shall be filled,
And every mountain and hill shall be brought low;
And the crooked shall be made straight,
And the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

When a new highway is being constructed, the roads crew work hard
in preparing for the new surface to be laid. Giant bulldozers cut through
the hillsides, moving earth, leveling, filling, evening the path out where
the roadway will run. When the work is first begun, if often looks like chaos:
and even after the highway begins to take shape, the land is still ugly,
scarred by the unsightly gashes cut through the landscape. Yet after
the work is completed and the grass and trees are replanted, we forget
the temporary upheaval and see only the
beauty of the land and the convenience of the new roadway.
In Luke 3:5-6, John the Baptist presents a prophecy of the coming of Christ,
a prophecy quoted from Isaiah 40:3-5 . The prophecy speaks of the preparation
of the world for the coming Messiah, but is also applies to the preparation
of the individual heart to receive him.
Sometimes, the Holy Spirit must do major work in our hearts to prepare us for
the coming of Christ into our live. Like a bulldozer, he brings down the
mountains of pride in our lives. He fill the empty places , corrects
the crooked, grades down the rough edges of our hearts.
Often this is not pleasant work. We prefer to maintain the rugged landscape
of Self, and we do not like the ugly scars that are left after the bulldozer
has done its job.
But if we submit to the Spirit's "Construction work" in us, the way will be
paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and others will see in us,
the way be paved for the Lord to enter into our lives, and other will see
in us the glory and salvation of our God.

Application

a) What "construction work" has to Holy Spirit done in me?

b) What restoration has taken place because of that work?

c) How do today's verses help me put in perspective the work
God still want to do in me?  


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 2022 edition?)

Quebec

Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec

Quebec 2015 population  8214 000

est Muslim Population    418946

CNMM Networks:  Montreal

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

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

Adding further

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

Under the Keep Praying page

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

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

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

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

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "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."

And 

Thank you for praying through the

"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
