Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless obedience:

“Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet…prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel…Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Joshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, supporting them.”
(Ezra 5:1-2)

That’s what’s supposed to happen when Your Word goes forth, Jesus!

You expect those of us who hear Your command
to get to work.

Pray this Lazaroo in steadfast faith:

“Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, ‘What then is this child going to be?’ For the Lord’s hand was with him. His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: ‘Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.’”
(Luke 1:66-68)

What am I going to be, Jesus?

Just because I’m what I am now
doesn’t mean the last chapter has been written.

Whatever the answer
may I bring glory to You!

Pray this Lazaroo with anticipation:

“The vision of Obadiah.”
(Obadiah 1:1)

And so begins the shortest book of the Old Testament, Jesus.

From scant clues within its 21 verses
we surmise Obadiah may have been
the first of the writing prophets.

Obadiah is a popular Bible name, given to 12 different men.

However, we don’t know for sure that he was any of them.

But these words aren’t from him, are they?

They are a direct, powerful, blistering message of warning

through him
from You.

Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:

“The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land…”
(Zechariah 2:12)

I don’t usually think of You inheriting anything, Jesus.

Normally, I think of You as the Inheritance-Giver.

But just as You chose Israel out of all the nations on earth

You chose one of her 12 tribes as Your inheritance:

Judah.

At the end of his life, Jacob prophesied over his son Judah

that a Ruler would come from him.

You Are the Lion of Judah.

Pray this Lazaroo in growing awe:

“‘Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?’ Nathanael asked.”
(John 1:46)

People didn’t think much of Your hometown, did they, Jesus?

It was small – maybe 120-150 people.
Almost everyone in the village was related, from the tribe of Judah.

They were probably trying to hide their royal lineage from King Herod

since he was paranoid about his questionable right to the throne.

But Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would come from there

600 years before Nazareth even existed.

Pray this Lazaroo in holy awe:

“Remember Jesus Christ…descended from David.”
(2 Timothy 2:8)

This is kind of a big deal, Jesus.

1,859 years before You were born, Your ancestor Jacob prophesied over his son Judah:

“The scepter will not depart from Judah
…until he to whom it belongs shall come
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.”

Jacob to Judah to King David

…all the way to You.

This isn’t “kind of” a big deal, is it?

It is a big deal.

Hold nothing back, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Do not prophesy about these things…”
(Micah 2:6)

Most people are eager to hear a prophecy, Jesus

if they believe it’s true
if the prophecy predicts punishment for their enemies
and/or a happy future for them.

Obviously, that’s not the kind of prophecy You entrusted to Your prophet Micah.

Of course, there are false prophets
who prophesy only what their audience wants to hear.

But among Your true followers

those who prophesy such lies
have a limited shelf life.

Pray this Lazaroo with white-hot purpose:

“Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men…”
(Jude 1:14)

That’s nothing short of amazing, Jesus.

I take that back.

For Enoch to precisely foretell what a group of people were going to be, say and do 3,000 years before they walked this earth

is an absolute miracle.

Of course, that should be no surprise.

Enoch was the one you took to heaven
without requiring him to die first.

Teach me to walk with You

as he did.
