Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.”
(1 Peter 2:18-19)

This command can’t have gone over well with slaves, Jesus.

In fact, there are a lot of Your commands
that require me to do what I don’t feel like doing.

No matter.

If you order it, there’s only one acceptable response:

YES, SIR!

Pray this Lazaroo in fervency of spirit:

“If thieves came to you, if robbers in the night—oh, what a disaster awaits you!—would they not steal only as much as they wanted?”
(Obadiah 1:5)

What a scary warning, Jesus!

Those who blatantly ignore Your love, goodness and mercy
will receive punishment beyond the norm.

Is there any way, shape or form in which I have committed this grievous sin?

If so, please forgive me!
In Your Might, help me turn around!

out of love and gratitude
not only from fear of punishment.

Pray this Lazaroo with no-holds-barred surrender:

“In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy…”
(2 Timothy 2:20-21)

So that’s my reward for cleansing myself, Jesus?

To be made holy?

I’ll take it!

Going to work on cleansing myself right now.

Wow. This is harder than I thought.

Only You!
Only You!
Only You!

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot fervor:

I long to be an instrument in Your Hands, Jesus…

for Your chosen special purpose.

To qualify, I’ve got to cleanse myself of every wrong thought, word and deed.

Is it worth it to me?

Oh, yes.

Pray this Lazaroo with renewed ambition:

“My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love…”
(Colossians 2:2)

That’s not only what Paul wanted, Jesus

that’s what every mother and father wants for their children
what every pastor wants for Your Church.

How wonderful it would be if cities and nations could be united in love!

But to do that
they’d have to be united in You

which is no doubt why You’ve sent us out
to preach the gospel!

Pray this Lazaroo with passionate rejoicing!

“I will surely gather all of you, Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people.”
(Micah 2:12)

You’ve done it, Jesus!

Exactly as You promised.

You brought back Your people to their homeland!

You reestablished the nation of Israel!

The place now throngs with people –

not only with descendants of Abraham
but with all who come to marvel.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound…”
(Ezekiel 3:12)

That would get my attention, Jesus!

For good reason.

It wasn’t a wagon, a rock or a herd of animals.
It was the sound of the wings of supernatural beings!

Shivers. Terror. Awe. Goose bumps.

I’ve never heard that sound Ezekiel heard

but You led him to share it with me so I could imagine it.

But not only imagine it.
Anticipate it!

…when I join him in heaven.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs…”
(Acts 2:22)

You never attended an accredited college, Jesus.

You never hung an accredited diploma on Your office wall –

and not only because You never had an office.

Your accreditation wasn’t a human institution of higher (actually lower) learning

nor a piece of calligraphy-decorated paper.

You Are accredited to us by the things You said and did

that only God could do.
