Let the goose bumps multiply, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations…”
(Colossians 1:26)

You revealed so much to Your kings and prophets, Jesus –

to Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Elijah, Isaiah –

but You saved some of Your best stuff for Your Church.

For me.

Everything You did in the past was pointing to this!

May I never be jealous of what they had back then, Father.
Because today – with You in me and I in You –

I’m livin’ the dream.

Pray this Lazaroo…overwhelmed:

“He will give strength to his king…”
(1 Samuel 2:10)

That’s a great promise, Jesus

I’m really happy for the kings You’ve chosen.
They certainly need Your strength.

If only I were a king!

Wait a minute…

I am!

You’ve elevated me way above my station.

You’ve made it clear: I will reign in Your kingdom!

Oh, not on my own.
In and through You.

You’ve promised:

If I endure, I’ll reign with You –

not temporarily –

but forever and ever.

Pray this Lazaroo in deepest respect:

“When Bathsheba went to King Solomon…the king stood up to meet her…”
(1 Kings 2:19)

I love this, Jesus –

the respect Solomon showed his mother.

Typically, kings didn’t stand for anyone except another king.

But You’ve instructed us to honor our mothers and fathers
that our days may be long on this earth.

Solomon knew Your Word.
He was filled with Your wisdom.

So when his mother entered the room
he paid her the honor due her:

He stood.

Pray this Lazaroo in complete submission:

“Ish-Bosheth son of Saul…reigned two years.”
(2 Samuel 2:10)

Wasn’t much of a reign, was it, Jesus?

You had given the kingdom to David, not him.

As is always the case when a pretender ascends to the throne

his days were numbered.

You’re the one who raises one person to power and sets aside another.

No one can thwart Your sovereign will!

How long will I reign over my little kingdom, LORD?

Not one day longer than You say.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“I urge, then, first of all, that…prayers…be made for…kings…”
(1 Timothy 2:1-2)

At first blush, this can seem a bit…

irritating, Jesus.

Why would You command even the poorest subjects to pray for their king?

Here they are, powerless, struggling just to make ends meet

while kings can do pretty much whatever they want
and live in jaw-dropping luxury.

Maybe that’s why –

so kings will exercise their power for the good of their people
and become willing to share the wealth.

 Stand in awe of God as you pray this Lazaroo: 

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever…he sets up kings …”
(Daniel 2:20-21)

Just one more reminder, Jesus:

You…Are All-Powerful.

Kings are the most powerful people on earth.

They answer to no one.
They are mind-blowingly wealthy.
If they want something, they get it.
On a whim, they can spare or end someone’s life.
Not only are they above the law…they are the law.

But no one gets to be a king

unless You say so.
