Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers.”
(3 John 1:9-10)

This guy’s a piece of work, Jesus.

He’s so afraid he’ll lose his position in the church
that he wants no one else to attend!

May I always put the spread of Your gospel

ahead of my own agenda!

Pray this Lazaroo with straightened priorities:

“I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard?”
(Galatians 3:2)

If there was ever a rhetorical question, Jesus

this is it.

Paul knew the answer!

He devoted his entire life to sharing the good news
that while no one is good enough to earn heaven
You paid our sin debt with Your life on the cross

for all who truly believe.

Pray this Lazaroo with self-evaluation:

“Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. And so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke…”
(Philemon 1:23-24)

Everybody wanted in on the greetings, Jesus.

And no wonder!

Philemon was a wealthy leader in Your early Church
deeply respected by the other believers.

I can’t help but wonder, though…

would they have been as eager to greet a poor nobody?

Would I?

Wealthy leaders receive many greetings.

But warm words mean a whole lot more
to poor nobodies.

Ready yourself for battle, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Abner looked behind him and asked, ‘Is that you, Asahel?’ ‘It is,’ he answered.”
(2 Samuel 2:20)

This was a death-chase, Jesus.

A war was raging.
Asahel was intent on killing Abner.

I, too, am in a war – a holy war – the war of the ages.

The forces of good against the forces of evil.
Angels and believers against demons and God-haters.
My Christian self against my sinful human nature.

O God! Rise up within me in power!

Help me win.
