Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.”
(1 Timothy 3:2-3)

Those are a lot of requirements, Jesus.

No wonder some people see them
and back away from pursuing this holy office.

But these are the bare minimums!

Isn’t this the holy life to which You’ve called
absolutely every one of us?

Pray this Lazaroo in deepened understanding:

“…the overseer is to be above reproach…”
(1 Timothy 3:2)

You’ve set the overseer bar awfully high, Jesus

and for good reason.

If the overseer stumbles or falls, it’s a domino effect:

A whole lot of people can get hurt.

That’s why Satan relentlessly and ferociously attacks the overseer –

along with their family, friends and ministries, isn’t it?

To be above reproach
doesn’t mean to be above attack.

During the time You walked this earth

constant attack

is exactly what Satan did to You.
