Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”
(2 Corinthians 4:5-6)

May my words and actions point people to You, Jesus

rather than to myself.

To exalt myself
is the work of Satan

which got him kicked out of heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo in the fear of God:

“…the king gave the order to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck Shimei down and he died. The kingdom was now established in Solomon’s hands.”
(1 Kings 2:46)

As politically incorrect as it is to say it, Jesus

if there is to be peace

sometimes someone has to

leave
be kicked out
or die.

Whenever possible, You want us to work things out with each other.

But some people are nothing but hell on earth

until the day they draw their last, divisive breath.

Learn a hard lesson, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“It is decreed that the city be exiled…”
(Nahum 2:7)

I’ve heard of people being exiled, Jesus –

kicked out of their own country.

But I’ve never heard of an entire city

being removed from its national identity.

If that were to happen to a city in my country

which one would it be?

Or perhaps I should ask, “Which ones?”

You’re not messing around, are You?

When an entire city full of people ignore Your repeated warnings

You act.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“…the exiles…”
(Obadiah 1:20)

It’s no fun to be an exile, Jesus!

to be kicked out of my home, my homeland
the place I thought would be mine my whole life

…until I discover the better place
You’ve held in store for me.

Maybe the mistakes I’ve made put me here.
Maybe the sins I committed got me booted out.

Or maybe I was obedient to You
and this is my reward.

No matter!

Because of You

this is better.
