Pray this Lazaroo with locked-in faith:

“So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he struck down Adonijah and he died.”
(1 Kings 2:25)

Adonijah was Solomon’s brother, Jesus

but for his conniving attempt to overthrow his younger brother –

whom You anointed king –

he paid with his life.

The first time Adonijah proclaimed himself king

Solomon warned him never to pull a stunt like that again.

But in Adonijah’s case
forewarned was not forearned.

Dear LORD:

Help me learn from this hard example!

Get flexible, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“…after all, he is my older brother…”
(1 Kings 2:22)

There is a pecking order, isn’t there, Jesus?

Horses have it.
So do cats and dogs.

Human beings do, too.

Although David appointed Solomon to be his successor

Solomon’s older brother had other ideas –
with tradition on his side.

But You’ve never been bound by tradition, have You, Father?

Is there any area in my life I might be taking for granted
that You intend to turn totally upside-down?

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“You might as well request the kingdom for him…”
(1 Kings 2:22)

All Adonijah asked was to marry this woman, Jesus.

But Solomon knew better.

With that key move

his brother could succeed in overthrowing him.

Like Satan!

He tempts me to compromise in an area that seems harmless
but what he’s doing is getting a toe in the door

then a foot
followed by a leg
until he’s completely inside

intent on overthrowing Your kingdom in my life.
