Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt and married his daughter. He brought her to the City of David until he finished building his palace and the temple of the Lord, and the wall around Jerusalem. The people, however, were still sacrificing at the high places…”
(1 Kings 3:1-2)

And so it starts to unravel, Jesus…

Solomon enters a forbidden marriage
the people worshiping where they shouldn’t.

The more disobedience I incorporate in my life

the more swiftly my downfall arrives.

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right…because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets.”
(Micah 3:9,12)

Your gift and call to be a leader is a staggering responsibility Jesus.

It gives to a human being the ability to sway others

for right
or for wrong

and then to face the consequences.

Never give up! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“All who pass your way clap their hands at you; they scoff and shake their heads at Daughter Jerusalem: ‘Is this the city that was called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?’”
(Lamentations 2:15)

People love to attack a fallen hero, Jesus.

Why is that?

Were they jealous of the blessings You bestowed on them?
Are they delighted, now that Your discipline
has brought them down to their level?

What a shock it will be

when You restore the blessings
of Your repentant loved ones!

May the Hope of God rise within you, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘What are those feeble Jews doing? Will they restore their wall? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they bring the stones back to life from those heaps of rubble—burned as they are?’…’What they are building—even a fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of stones!’”
(Nehemiah 4:2-3)

Maybe those Jews were feeble, Jesus.

Maybe they couldn’t restore the broken down wall of Jerusalem
in a single day.

But how about in 52 days!!!

They stunned the world

because you were with them.

Pray this Lazaroo with rock-solid confidence:

“Jerusalem has had powerful kings ruling over the whole of Trans-Euphrates, and taxes, tribute and duty were paid to them. Now issue an order to these men to stop work, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order…Why let this threat grow, to the detriment of the royal interests?”
(Ezra 4:20-22)

The men who wrote this letter were Your enemies, Jesus.

They knew exactly how to get the king to halt the rebuilding of Your temple.

Paused? Yes.
Stopped? Never!

Pray this Lazaroo with growing understanding:

“…Solomon summoned to Jerusalem the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes and the chiefs of the Israelite families, to bring up the ark of the Lord’s covenant from Zion, the City of David. And all the Israelites came together to the king at the time of the festival in the seventh month.”
(2 Chronicles 5:2-3)

They obeyed the king, Jesus.

But why?

Billions of people have disobeyed kings’ commands.

Very simply, You put it in their hearts to obey Solomon.

So they did.

Go on high alert, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Now, son of man, take a block of clay, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it.”
(Ezekiel 4:1-2 )

You weren’t telling Ezekiel to play toy soldiers, Jesus.

You were creating an object lesson
to warn Your people of what was coming.

What’s my object lesson, Father?

Give me eyes that see!

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right; who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness.”
(Micah 3:9-10)

It’s the leaders You hold most accountable, isn’t it, Jesus?

You expect them to set the standard for their followers

to love justice and do what’s right
But with honesty, integrity and hard work –

not by crushing the innocent.

Pray this Lazaroo with mounting anticipation:

“Next to him, Shemaiah son of Shekaniah, the guard at the East Gate, made repairs.”
(Nehemiah 3:29)

Shemaiah already had one job, Jesus –

and it wasn’t a “nothing” job.

Guarding the East Gate is a huge responsibility!

So is guarding any of Your Jerusalem gates.

But the East Gate is the one
through which You’ll enter Jerusalem
when You return to earth for Your Church!

If Shemaiah can carry out two crucial jobs for You simultaneously

So can I.
