Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“So the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”’”
(Genesis 3:14-15)

On the cross You crushed Satan’s head, Jesus!

and you deliver me from his every strike at my heel.

Pray this Lazaroo in flabbergasted gratitude:

“You ask, ‘Why?’”
(Malachi 2:14)

They wanted to know why You were punishing them, Jesus.

But that’s not the reason I ask, “Why?”

What I want to know is why You love me this much!

You don’t punish me as my sins deserve.
You shower me with favor, mercy and forgiveness!

This much I know:

It’s not because of me, my good deeds, my righteousness.

It’s all…all…all because of You!

Oh, the height, width and depth of Your incomparable love!

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The Lord said to Satan, ‘The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?’”
(Zechariah 3:2)

Me too, Jesus.

That’s what I am –

“…a burning stick snatched from the fire.”

I was on my way to hell

trapped in my sins

when You rescued me!

You rebuked Satan in my behalf by Your death on the cross

then rising from the dead on the third day!

Hallelujah!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will overturn royal thrones…”
(Haggai 2:22)

When royalty becomes corrupt, Jesus

their fate is sealed –

unless they repent.

No matter how many generations of powerful heirs have reigned

You can bring their line of succession to a halt

in an instant.

But all who look to You and Your loving sacrifice on the cross

will reign with You forever

in the only true royalty
that endures.

My hope –

my only hope –

is in You, Jesus!
Now and forever.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…the word of the Lord is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines.”
(Zephaniah 2:5)

All I need to succeed, Jesus

is for You to speak a word in my behalf.

All I need to fail

is for You to speak one word against me.

So the most important task of my life

is to discover how to have You speak for me!

which You do for all

who put our faith
in what You did for us
on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in devoted passion:

“Has not the Lord Almighty determined that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire…”
(Habakkuk 3:13)

What a humbling thing to hear, Jesus!

That I can work my fingers to the bone every day of my life
only to have You snap Your fingers

and burn it all up?

That’s what becomes of everything I do for the wrong motives.

But O God!

Everything I do to please You

becomes eternal treasure

that will never fade, spoil, nor pass away!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit

“Nineveh is like a pool whose water is draining away. ‘Stop! Stop!’ they cry, but no one turns back. Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! The supply is endless, the wealth from all its treasures! She is pillaged, plundered, stripped! Hearts melt, knees give way, bodies tremble, every face grows pale.”
(Nahum 2:8-10)

You punish the wealthy and powerful, Jesus –

who after repeated warnings to repent
despise You and laugh in Your face.

May I never stray.

But if I do

help me repent!

Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel. Should you not embrace justice, you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones; who eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?”
(Micah 3:1-3)

 

Not physical cannibalism, Jesus.

Spiritual.

Abuse.
Lies.
Misinformation.
Neglect.

You view, judge and punish it:

as cannibalism.

Pray this Lazaroo with anticipation:

“The vision of Obadiah.”
(Obadiah 1:1)

And so begins the shortest book of the Old Testament, Jesus.

From scant clues within its 21 verses
we surmise Obadiah may have been
the first of the writing prophets.

Obadiah is a popular Bible name, given to 12 different men.

However, we don’t know for sure that he was any of them.

But these words aren’t from him, are they?

They are a direct, powerful, blistering message of warning

through him
from You.
