David's Victories
1Ch 18:1-13
1 (1Ch 18:1-17) Afterward, David defeated the Philistines and subdued them,
and David took Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
2 (Nu 24:17; 2Sa 8:6) He also defeated Moab. He measured them with a length
of rope, forcing them to lie down on the ground. He measured two lengths
of rope to be put to death, but the entirety of one length he allowed
to live. So the Moabites became subject to David, bearing tribute.
3 (1Sa 14:47; 2Sa 10:16) David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob,
king of Zobah, when he went to restore his authority
over the River Euphrates.
4 (Jos 11:6; 11:9) David seized from him 1700 horsemen
and 20000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all of the chariot horses,
save those for 100 chariots.
5 (1Ki 11:23-25) The Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer
king of Zobah, but David defeated twenty-two thousand men of the Arameans.
6 (2Sa 8:14; 7:9) David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants who bore tribute to David.
The Lord helped David wherever he went.
7 David took the shields of gold that were issued to the servants of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 (1Ch 18:8) From Betah [Or captains, or thirty. Cf. 1Ch 11:11.] and Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, King David took great quantities of bronze.
9 (1Ki 8:65) When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
10 Toi sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and bless him on account of his fighting with Hadadezer and his defeat of him,
for Hadadezer was an opponent of Toi. Joram brought with him implements
of silver, gold, and bronze,
11 (1Ki 7:51) which King David dedicated to the Lord along with the silver
and gold that he dedicated from all of the nations that he had subdued,
12 (2Sa 10:14; 8:2) that is, from Aram,[About 25 pounds, or 12 kilograms.] Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, Amalek, and the plunder
from Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
13 (2Ki 14:7; 2Sa 7:9) So David made a name for himself upon his return
from defeating eighteen thousand Arameans
[Possibly Edomites. Cf. 2Sa 8:14, 1Ch 18:11-13, LXX and Syriac mss.]
in the Valley of Salt.
14 (Ge 27:29; 25:23) He set up garrisons in Edom. Throughout all of Edom,
he set up garrisons, and all of Edom became subject to David.
The Lord helped David wherever he went.

2 Samuel 8
[1] And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the
Philistines.
[2] And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to
the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one
full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
[3] David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went
to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
[4] And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
[5] And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of
Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
[6] Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
[7] And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of
Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
[8] And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
[9] When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
[10] Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to
bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver,
and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
[11] Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and
gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
[12] Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob,
king of Zobah.
[13] And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians
in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
[14] And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

1 (2Sa 8:1-18) Now it happened after this that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them, so he took Gath and its neighboring towns
from Philistine control.
2 He also defeated Moab so that the Moab-!ites became servants to David
and brought tribute.
3 (2Sa 8:3) Next David struck down Hadadezer the king of Zobah toward
Hamath as he marched out to establish his authority along the Euphrates.
4 (2Sa 8:4) David captured from him one thousand chariots,
seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand infantry men.
Then David hamstrung all the chariot horses except for the
one hundred he spared.

king of Zobah, David struck down 22000 Arameans.
6 Then David set garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and Arameans
became subject to David, and brought tribute. The Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.
7 So David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer,
and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 (2Sa 8:8; 2Ch 4:12-18) Also from Tibhath[Betah in 2Sa 8:8.] and Kun,
cities of Hadadezer, David took a large amount of bronze;
with it Solomon made the bronze Sea, the pillars, and the vessels of bronze.
9 (2Sa 8:9) When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated
all the army of Hadadezer king of Zobah,
10 (2Sa 8:10) he sent his son Hadoram to King David to ask about his welfare and to bless him because he fought and defeated Hadadezer
(for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou).
He sent all kinds of articles of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 King David also dedicated these to the Lord, together with the silver
and gold which he had carried away from all the surrounding nations,
from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, and Amalek.
12 (1Sa 26:6) Also Abishai the son of Zeruiah struck down 18000 men of Edom

1 Chronicles 18
David's Conquests

1 Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines,
and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of
the Philistines.
2 And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants,
and brought gifts.
3 And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath,
as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen,
and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses,
but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
5 And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah,
David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
6 Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever
he went.
7 And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David
very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars,
and the vessels of brass.
9 Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host
of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
10 he sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare,
and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer,
and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner
of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
11 Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from
the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley
of salt eighteen thousand. 13And he put garrisons in Edom;
and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD
preserved David whithersoever he went.

honest in the sight of all men.
18 (Mk 9:50; Ro 14:19; Mt 5:9) If it is possible, as much as it depends
on you, live peaceably with all men.
19 (Dt 32:35; Pr 24:29) Beloved, do not avenge yourselves,
but rather give place to God's wrath, for it is written:
"Vengeance is Mine. I will repay,"(Dt 32:35.) says the Lord.
20 (Pr 25:21-22; Mt 5:44) Therefore
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him a drink;
for in doing so you will heap coals of fire on his head."(Pr 25:21-22.)
21 (1Pe 3:9) Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

[9] Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to
that which is good.
[10] Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
[11] Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
[12] Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in

[17] Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight
of all men.
[18] If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all
men.
[19] Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
[20] Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him
drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
[21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

After great-grandma Clara passed away, her ten-foot-long prayer list of people for whom she prayed regularly became a family heirloom. On it were typewritten many extended family members, friends, people her friends were praying for, as well as the names of high-profile evangelists, pastors, and ministries. New family members and specific prayer requests are handwritten in the margins. I became emotional seeing my mother's name on the list,
added when she was just a child.

The apostle Paul wrote to the early church, "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (Romans 12:12). In his letter, Paul exhorted believers to do many things that displayed love in action - hating evil and loving good (v. 9), honoring others above yourself (v. 10), passionately serving God (v. 11), and practicing hospitality (v. 13). These good works would be empty without the love of Christ working in us. That's where faithful prayer comes in. Paul called his friends to "join [him] in [his] struggle by praying to God for [him]" (15:30). Specific requests for safety from opposers and a favorable reception in Jerusalem (vv. 31-32) were on Paul's list. Perhaps they ended up on the private prayer list of a great-grandma
in Rome too.

Prayer empowers us to live in a way that "overcomes evil with good" (12:21). Though we may not always see the outcome, it creates a legacy of faithfulness for generations to come.

Reflect & Pray

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 5 - Starting Over

2 Cor 5:17

17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,
he is a new creature. Old things have passed away.
Look, all things have become new.

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

"The trouble with turning over a new leaf," Gordon sighed,
"is that once you've done it twice, you're right back where
you started." Gordon, in his mid-fifties, had his job
"canceled" by a company wanting to cut back on retirement payments.
Out of work, with few prospects, he said wistfully,
"I wish I had the chance to start over again."
Many of us would echo Gordon's sentiments. Whether we have lost a job,
gone through a divorce, moved to another part of the country, or
experienced some lesser crisis, we often long for the chance to
begin again, fresh, without the shadow of past mistakes following us.
God's word offers just such an opportunity. Anyone who is in Christ,
Paul says in 2 Cor 5:17, is a "new creation". For the Christian, the past
is truly past - "all things are become new". In the forgiveness
and restoration of God's grace we can leave the past behind,
with all its mistakes, and enter into new life.
And the promise is not just for the newly saved. Those of us who
have been Christians for years need to hear the truth of 2 Cor 5:17 again,
for we accumulated some "new mistakes" since we came to Christ. Anyone who
is in Christ is a new creation; the freedom of forgiveness, of
"starting over" is available to all who call upon the name of the Lord.
We cannot every really "start over" simply by establishing New Year's resolutions or turning over a new leaf. Only God gives us that opportunity;
his grace allows us to clear away the rubble of the past and begin again. Everything becomes new in God's loving forgiveness.

Application

a) What "resolutions" have I made in an attempt to "start over"
in some area of struggle or failure in my life? Did my resolutions work?

b) What does 2 Cor 5:17 mean for me at this point in my Christian Life?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Hebrews 7:8

8 In the one case mortal men receive tithes,
but in the other he of whom it is witnessed
that he is alive receives them.

8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them,
of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

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

When you are Facing Pain and Suffering

2 Cor 12:7-10

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance
of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan,
to torment me, lest I be exalted above measure.
8 I asked the Lord three times that this thing might depart from me.
9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will boast in my weaknesses,
that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in hardships,
in persecutions, and in distresses for Christ's sake.
For when I am weak, then I am strong.

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of
the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh,
the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is
made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities,
in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak,
then am I strong.

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?)

Ontario

Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario

Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000

est Muslim Population 1 001 542

CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,
Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor

Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching
from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools
are starting.
And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,
the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of "reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.
Agree in prayer for:

- net network leaders - the need is great
- the development of network leadership teams
- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals
whom God is calling into this ministry.
- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising
believers
- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas
- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love
towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.

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]

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus. Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house."

Ideas for prayer

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

And

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ROMANS 15:13

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

18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Ps 145: 14 - 16

14 The Lord upholds all who fall,
and raises up all who are bowed down.

and You give them their food in due season.

and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Romans 12:4-8

4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,
and not all parts have the same function,
5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and all are parts of one another.
6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that
is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;
7 (Ac 13:1; Eph 4:11)if service, in serving; he who teaches, in teaching;
8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with generosity; he who rules, with diligence;
he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

4 For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office:
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that
is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according
to the proportion of faith;
7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,
on teaching;
8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let
him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;
he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Col 3:17

17(1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20)And whatever you do in word or deed,
do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
