Raise your sights! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, ‘He is out of his mind.’”
(Mark 3:20-21)

You didn’t come here to enjoy a good meal, Jesus.

Your message was a little bigger than that.

You came to transform lives

call people to a higher purpose
change their destination from hell to heaven.

Those who don’t believe that about You

are the ones who are out of their minds.

Get your, “Yes Sir!” ready, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.”’ Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai…”
(Haggai 1:2-3)

You hear our complaints, Jesus.

They grate on Your ears.

When we insist we don’t have time

to take care of the things that matter to You

we’re about to learn the hard way:

We should have kept our mouths shut.

You’ll appoint someone
to deliver the news.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

“In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes…”
(2 Timothy 2:20-21)

I long to be an instrument in Your Hands, Jesus…

for Your chosen special purpose.

To qualify, I’ve got to cleanse myself of every wrong thought, word and deed.

Is it worth it to me?

Oh, yes.

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!

Pray this Lazaroo in trusting confidence:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘These people say, “The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.”’”
(Haggai 1:2)

That doesn’t sound like discernment, Jesus.

It sounds like laziness.

May I never put off doing Your will because it requires a lot of work!

And by the same token:

May I never put off doing Your will
because I realize my very best work won’t be enough!

May I always trust that Your All-Powerful Hand

will be able to accomplish what I cannot!

Take warning as you pray this Lazaroo:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them. Anyone who welcomes them shares in their wicked work.”
(2 John 1:10-11)

I’m no innocent bystander, am I, Jesus?

Even though  I claim to belong to You

while welcoming and befriending
buddying up and hanging out

with people who deny Your Name
with those who reject Your Word

I’m in the same boat with them

which is going to sink.

Pray this Lazaroo in renewed dedication:

“In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use.”
(2 Timothy 2:20)

Not everyone owns articles of gold and silver, Jesus

because not everyone lives in a large house.

Most of us, however, have at our disposal articles of wood and clay.

May You enable me to use everything You have placed in my hands
to bring glory and honor to You!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.”
(2 John 1:10)

This sounds rude, Jesus…

but it isn’t.
It’s life-saving.

I shouldn’t welcome a child-molester into a home with small children, either.

As bad as that would be
a spirit-molester would be infinitely worse.

When a heretical teacher leads people astray

it’s not just life and death that are at stake.
The stakes are eternal life and death.

Heaven…and hell.

Pray this Lazaroo in faith-filled anticipation:

“As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return. He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more. Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.”
(Job 7:9-11)

This is the great Job at the lowest point of his life, Jesus…

before You lifted him out of the depths of despair

and put a new song in his heart!

Pray this Lazaroo in Godly determination:

“The priests, who were heads of families, numbered 1,760. They were able men, responsible for ministering in the house of God.”
(1 Chronicles 9:13)

Make me like these, Jesus –

able…and responsible –
ministering in Your house.

Only You – the Giver of every good gift –

can make me competent to do Your Work!

Help me be truly responsible –

fulfilling my duties day after day, without fail.

And no matter where You place me in Your Church –

from the front to the back pew –

use me to minister to Your precious people!
