Open your heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel. Should you not embrace justice, you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones; who eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?”
(Micah 3:1-3)

 

Not physical cannibalism, Jesus.

Spiritual.

Abuse.
Lies.
Misinformation.
Neglect.

You view, judge and punish it:

as cannibalism.

Saturday, August 14, 2021

 

Pray this Lazaroo with concern:

“…Diotrephes…loves to be first…”
(3 John 1:9)

What’s up with people like that, Jesus?

Are they leaders? Role models? Winners?
People I’d love to have on my team?

Well…no.

You haven’t called me to be better than anyone else.

You want me to be the best version of myself

You’ve created me to be

then leave the outcome to You.

You’re looking for people who long to please You

not people driven to be superior to everyone else.

Pray this Lazaroo with a pleading heart:

“Hashabiah, ruler of half the district of Keilah, carried out repairs for his district. Next to him, the repairs were made by their fellow Levites under Binnui son of Henadad, ruler of the other half-district of Keilah.”
(Nehemiah 3:17-18)

These weren’t just leaders, Jesus.

They were rulers.

When people of this stature and authority get their hands dirty in order to respond to a crisis

it inspires everyone else to do likewise.

God give us such people at the very top!

Pray this Lazaroo in holy fear:

“You have no part with us in building a temple to our God. We alone will build it for the LORD, the God of Israel…”
(Ezra 4:3)

That sounds rude, Jesus.

Here these “nice people” were offering to help the Jews build Your temple

and they were rebuffed!

The Jews wouldn’t let them!

But Your leaders recognized that these people were their enemies

looking for a way to sabotage the work.

O God!
Open our eyes!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your heart:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

This is a wonderful prophecy, Jesus!

But please help me remember this about Your Greatness:

You do more than one thing at once!

Yes, this prophecy foretells what will happen in Israel.

But it also teaches an exciting principle:

Those whose focus is helping and rescuing others

are the kind of people best suited
to lead, to rule, to govern.

Self-centered leaders are dangerous.

Deliver us from non-deliverers!

Pray this Lazaroo with humility:

“Nehemiah son of Azbuk, ruler of a half-district of Beth Zur, made repairs up to a point opposite the tomb of David, as far as the artificial pool and the House of the Heroes.”
(Nehemiah 3:16)

Here’s another ruler willing to get his hands dirty, Jesus!

Maybe that’s why You lifted him into leadership.

Thank You for every person in high position

who doesn’t think they’re too good
to do whatever needs doing
no matter how menial.

Leaders like that

are easy to follow.

Know it! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the palace collapses.”
(Nahum 2:6)

When that happens, Jesus

it leaves people in shock.

These high and mighty leaders with their unimaginable resources

seem untouchable.

But they’re not.

One nudge from Your pinkie finger
one puff of air from your left nostril

is all it takes!

…and down they go –

while those who revere Your Name and trust in You alone

enjoy incomprehensible blessing and protection!

You’ve warned me:

In this world I’ll have trouble.

But that’s okay.

Because You overcome the world!

Pray this Lazaroo in clear-headed obedience:

“…it was the practice of the priests…”
(1 Samuel 2:13)

Just because it’s a priest who does it

doesn’t make it right, Jesus.

The same goes for pastors, mothers, fathers, popes and presidents.

Honored position doesn’t insure righteous behavior.

In this case, the priests under Eli were engaging in detestable behavior.

Open my eyes, LORD!
Please don’t let me be blinded by position!

Show me how to wisely deal with such leaders

and never follow in their evil footsteps.

Take note! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…The LORD…saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived…”
(Judges 2:18)

It’s pretty important to have a Spirit-filled leader, isn’t it, Jesus?

Somebody You’ve called, who’s full of Your love and wisdom.
A person who gets guidance and direction straight from You.
A man or woman You truly love to bless.

Leaders who stay in Deep, Daily, Moment-by-Moment 1on1 relationship with You

tend to inspire their flock to do the same.

Plead with God, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…the LORD…was with the judge…”
(Judges 2:18)

Back in the day, Jesus…

Your judges were more than deciders of disputes.
They were leaders and warriors.

Today, our judges mostly sit behind big, imposing desks

listen to each side make its case and make rulings.

Even so…

oh, how we need You to be with our judges!

Some of them take the bench with hidden evil intent.

Block them! Remove them!

Even better, Great God, Judge of All:

Change them.
