Pray this Lazaroo with immovable determination:

“Altogether, those chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds numbered 212…The gatekeepers had been assigned to their positions of trust by David and Samuel the seer. They and their descendants were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord—the house called the tent of meeting.”
(1 Chronicles 9:22-23)

Your House still needs to be guarded, Jesus

even today.

There are many who seek to water down Your gospel

stray from Your Word

turn Your Church into a social club.

May I ever fulfill my position of trust!

Friday, May 5, 2023

 

Pray this Lazaroo in sobered understanding:

“…if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”
(2 Corinthians 4:3-4)

That explains so much, Jesus –

why some people instantly respond to the good news about You
and others in the same room at the same time reject Your love.

With everything in me:

Thank You for lifting the veil from my mind!

Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2)

I know it’s my responsibility to stay focused on You, Jesus

to grow in You and to please You
in everything I think, say and do.

But when You send someone along with the gift of encouragement –

someone themselves strong in You who models it for me –

that’s nothing less than fire in my heart
and wind beneath my wings!

Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: ‘All nations will be blessed through you.’ So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.”
(Galatians 3:8-9)

I have an earthly dad, Jesus.

Above all, there’s my Heavenly Father.

But because I have the faith of Abraham

he has become my spiritual father!

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 renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.”
(Ephesians 3:7)

Every person who follows You can say, “Amen!” to that, Jesus.

That’s exactly how I became a servant of Your gospel:

Your gift of grace.
Wholly undeserved.

More deeply appreciated than words can express.

And yes, it took Your incomparable, creative, loving, forgiving power

to transform a wretched sinner like me

into one of Your Own.

Fully open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery of Christ…has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.”
(Ephesians 3:4-6)

This is stunning news, Jesus!

For eons, the Jews alone were Your chosen people.

But now, everyone who trusts in You

through Your death, burial and resurrection

belongs to You!

But even better –

You belong to them!

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”
(Acts 2:37-38)

Straightforward question…

straightforward answer, Jesus:

the gospel in a nutshell.

When people ask me what to do

may I be just that straightforward.

(Habakkuk 2:14)

Oh, what a day that will be, Jesus!

I can’t wait.

Literally, I can’t wait –

meaning, I dare not wait.

You’ve given me the task of sharing Your good news

with everyone around me.

I’m not responsible for what they do with it

but You hold me accountable
to do everything in my power
to make sure they hear about You
in as clear and compelling a way as possible.
