Pray this Lazaroo with sincere humility:

“…Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us.”
(3 John 1:9)

Well, no, Jesus.

There was no way on earth
that Diotrephes would welcome John.

If he did, he’d no longer be first!

By comparison to the famous Apostle John
Diotrephes would appear to be a nobody.

He’d rather miss out on John’s incomparable teaching

than give up his position of self-importance.

May I never miss out on your best

because of my pigheaded desire to be a big shot.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“I wrote to the church…”
(3 John 1:9)

I’m so glad John did, Jesus!

When he passed along Your words in writing

he couldn’t have imagined
how many billions of people would read them

unless You told him! 😉

It isn’t likely that billions of people will read what I write, Jesus

after all, I’m not anything close to Your beloved John.

But please:

make everything I say or write
result in praise, glory, gratitude and honor to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with unshakable belief:

“On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, but his mother spoke up and said, ‘No! He is to be called John.’”
(Luke 1:59-60)

Her husband’s lack of belief had already cost them both, Jesus.

Elizabeth wasn’t about to make the same mistake.

You had told them their son’s name was to be John.

So John is what she named him.

May I obey You

with that same conviction!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.”
(Matthew 3:4)

No doubt there were some who dressed and ate better, Jesus.

But none preached and baptized better.

I know that because You said among those born of women
none was greater than John the Baptist.

Then You added that the least in the kingdom of God

was greater than he…

which includes me.

Pray this Lazaroo all the way to the marrow of your bones:

“In those days, John the Baptist came…”
(Matthew 3:1)

We could use another John the Baptist right about now, Jesus!

When You sent John he was fearless.
He named names and took no prisoners.

You called him to prepare the way for You
challenging people to live holy lives and turn to God.

Eventually, it cost him his life.

Are You calling me to be a John the Baptist among my family and circle of friends?

Okay.

No matter what the cost..

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…for the sake of the Name…”
(3 John 1:7)

Your Name, Jesus –

the Name above every name.

What John did for the sake of Your Name is legendary.

What am I willing to do for the sake of Your Name?

You’re the Creator of all –

the one who gave Your life for me before I was born
knowing the sins I’d commit
knowing how often I’d let You down.

What am I willing to do…

for the sake of Your Name?

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face…”
(Galatians 2:11)

Am I seeing this right, Jesus?

The Apostle Paul in a face-to-face confrontation with the Apostle Peter?

That’s not supposed to happen, is it? – for several reasons:

Along with James and John, Peter was one of Jesus’ inner circle.
He was a follower of Jesus long before Paul.
Christians are supposed to be loving and get along!

But this was love, wasn’t it?

Love of the truth.

Pray this Lazaroo in bottomless trust:

“…heard what John had said and…followed Jesus.”
(John 1:40)

I’ve heard what John said, Jesus –

and I’m following You.

Your words through John and the other Bible authors

have the ring of truth like no other.

But that’s not all.

They’re backed up by fact.

Nor is that all.

They’re confirmed by my experience.

If it sounds like the truth

looks like the truth

and lives like the truth

I’m staking my life on it:

It’s the Truth.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor…”
(Galatians 2:10)

There are a lot of things that could have been asked of Paul, Jesus.

But only one thing?
This?

Before I assign more importance to it than I should

who are “they?”

Let’s see:

James…Peter…John – the pillars and leaders of Your Church in Jerusalem.

Oh.

If it was that big of a deal to them

it must be that big of a deal to You.
