1 Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity,
Than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good;
And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way:
And his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4 Wealth maketh many friends;
But the poor is separated from his neighbour.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
And he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Many will intreat the favour of the prince:
And every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7 All the brethren of the poor do hate him:
How much more do his friends go far from him?
He pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:
He that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished,
And he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Delight is not seemly for a fool;
Much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger;
And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

But his favour is as dew upon the grass.

And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers:
And a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep;
And an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul;
But he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD;
And that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18 Chasten thy son while there is hope,
And let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19 A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment:
For if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction,
That thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart;
Nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 The desire of a man is his kindness:
And a poor man is better than a liar.
23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life:
And he that hath it shall abide satisfied;
He shall not be visited with evil.
24 A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom,
And will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware:
And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26 He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother,
Is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction
That causeth to err from the words of knowledge.

Proverbs 20

Whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

But wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD;
And a false balance is not good.
24 Man's goings are of the LORD;
How can a man then understand his own way?
25 It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy,
And after vows to make enquiry.
26 A wise king scattereth the wicked,
And bringeth the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD,
Searching all the inward parts of the belly.
28 Mercy and truth preserve the king:
And his throne is upholden by mercy.
29 The glory of young men is their strength:
And the beauty of old men is the grey head.
30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil:
So do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

Philippians 4:10-19

Acknowledgment of the Philippians' Gift

10 (2Co 11:9) I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last you have revived your concern for me. Regarding this, you did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 (Php 3:8; 1Ti 6:6-9) I do not speak because I have need, for I have learned in whatever state I am to be content.
12 (2Co 11:27; 11:9) I know both how to face humble circumstances and how to have abundance. Everywhere and in all things I have learned the secret,
both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 (2Co 12:9-10; Eph 3:16) I can do all things because of Christ
who strengthens me.
14 (Php 1:7) Nevertheless you did well having shared in my affliction.
15 (Php 1:5; 2Co 11:8-12) Now you Philippians know also,
that in the beginning of the gospel when I departed from Macedonia,
no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving,
except you alone.
16 (1Th 2:9) Even in Thessalonica, you sent aid once and again for
my necessity,
17 (Titus 3:14) not because I desired a gift, but I desire fruit that accumulates to your account.
18 (Eph 5:2; Php 2:25-26) But I have everything and abound. I have been
filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, like a sweet fragrance, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
19 (Ro 2:4) But my God shall supply your every need according
to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

[10] But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of
me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
[11] Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
[12] I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and
in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to
abound and to suffer need.
[13] I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
[14] Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
[15] Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when
I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning
giving and receiving, but ye only.
[16] For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
[17] Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
[18] But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus
the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
[19] But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.

When Melanie began having regular headaches, her doctors discovered she had a benign tumor in her pituitary gland. The tumour was about the size of a plum and was surgically removed in 2003 and again in 2006 when it recurred. Then in 2017, when it came back a third time, Melanie underwent radiation treatment instead, which caused her to lose her hair. Her twenty-seven-year-old son, Matt, decided to grow out his own hair to make a wig for her.

Matt's selfless, loving act illustrates how one person's abilities and resources can supply the needs of another person or group. Paul highlights the beauty of such reciprocal generosity in his letter to the Philippians. The believers in Philippi had shared in his "troubles" and "sent . . . aid more than once when [he] was in need" (Philippians 4:14, 16). Having received their gifts, Paul recognised that God had provided amply for his needs.

Our willingness to share with one another is often the conduit of God's provision in our lives. Sometimes we're in a position to give of our time, talent, or treasure; other times we're in need ourselves and must rely on the support of another. Through His Spirit working in us, our gifts are "pleasing to God" and a manifestation of our shared life in the body of Christ (v. 18).

Reflect & Pray

When has God supplied your needs through another person?
How might He provide for someone else through your generous giving today?

Father God, thank You for providing for me.
Please help me share what You've given me as I
seek to cheerfully and generously help others.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 2 - Due Season

Gal 6:9

9 And let us not grow weary in doing good,
for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.

9 And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Jackie's preschool class took on an exciting project: they were going to grow flowers from seeds, Each child took the seed, planted it carefully in the bedding soil, watered, and waited. But Jackie couldn't wait. Every day
for a week he ran to the window box, looked for his plants, poked, prodded, unplanted the seeds and then planted them again. "It's no use,"
he pouted after the first week. "Nothing's gonna grow in there."
We live in an instant society - microwave dinners, quick fixes, easy answers. We are conditioned by our environment to expect - even to demand -
immediate response, and when we have to wait,
we become impatient and irritable.
Paul's exhortation to the Galatians, "Let us not become weary in doing good," is as appropriate for twentieth-century believers as it was for the new church at Galatia. We lose motivation when we don't see results,
and weariness sets in.
If our work does not seem to be producing as we hope, we want to abandon it
and move on to a new project.
But God says, "You will reap a harvest if you don't give up." We give up too soon in our prayers for a loved one's salvation. We abandon hope too readily when we don't see spiritual growth in our own lives, when our investment in another's spiritual maturity seems to have no return. The Lord says,
"The harvest is coming; be patient; trust me."
In due season the harvest comes; when it's the right time. When the seed has had time to germinate, when the roots are string enough, when the conditions are right, the reaping time will come. But we must be willing to wait for
the due season, the moment of ripeness, when our labor brings its return.

Application

a) Have I ever felt that my spiritual labours have produced no harvest at all?

b) What does it mean to my own spiritual growth that there is a "due season" for reaping the harvest?

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.

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

Under the Keep Praying page

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

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

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

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

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes. 21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus. Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house."

Ideas for prayer

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

And

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ROMANS 15:13

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