Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“The sons of Elpaal…who built Ono and Lod with its surrounding villages and Beriah and Shema, who were heads of families of those living in Aijalon and who drove out the inhabitants of Gath.”
(1 Chronicles 8:12-13)

To build cities and villages – and do it right?

We need You, Jesus!

But to drive out the inhabitants of Gath –

where Goliath and the other giants lived –

required Your miracle power!

I’ve got a few giants I need to drive out.

Thank God, You’re the same – yesterday, today and forever!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“Sons were born to Shaharaim in Moab after he had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara. By his wife Hodesh he had Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malkam, Jeuz, Sakia and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of families.”
(1 Chronicles 8:8-10)

I can’t identify with multiple wives, Jesus.

And I know how much You hate divorce.

But I sure can testify that no matter how messed up our lives…

You – and You alone! – have the power to turn them around.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“These were the descendants of Ehud, who were heads of families of those living in Geba and were deported to Manahath…”
(1 Chronicles 8:6)

The old rule of warfare, Jesus –

decapitate the enemy’s leaders
replace them with Your own leaders
to maintain control over the people.

But that never works against Your people

even when we’re invaded
even when it looks as though we’re completely conquered.

No matter who they take away

we always have our Powerful Leader:

You.

Pray this Lazaroo with a longing ache in your heart:

“All these were descendants of Asher—heads of families, choice men, brave warriors and outstanding leaders.”
(1 Chronicles 7:40)

Oh, do we ever need men and women like that today, Jesus!

People who will step up when they see a need
men and women who stand out – bristling with ability
brave leaders who take their calling to the next level.

But people like that are rare.

You’re the only one who can put those qualities in them.

Please do.

Add this strategy to your toolbox, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“We alone will build it for the Lord, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia, commanded us.”
(Ezra 4:3]

Their enemies didn’t get it, Jesus.

They couldn’t grasp
why Your people didn’t want their help to build the temple.

So the heads of Your families spoke their language –

answered them with a reason they could understand.

When I experience opposition from Your enemies

help me answer them with words supplied by You

that’ll stop them in their tracks.
