Pray this Lazaroo in humble adulation:

“We sent Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God’s service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith…”
(1 Thessalonians 3:2)

I know it’s my responsibility to stay focused on You, Jesus

to grow in You and to please You
in everything I think, say and do.

But when You send someone along with the gift of encouragement –

someone themselves strong in You who models it for me –

that’s nothing less than fire in my heart
and wind beneath my wings!

Be on your guard! as you pray this Lazaroo:

“Their teaching will spread like gangrene.”
(2 Timothy 2:17)

False teaching is so like gangrene it’s scary, Jesus

bringing spiritual death to all who embrace it.

Gangrene occurs when there is no blood flow to arms, legs, toes and fingers

just as false teachers deny the saving power
of Your blood shed for us on the cross.

Muscles and internal organs can die from spreading infection

in the same way the sins promoted by the false teacher
destroys their followers from the inside.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. Not satisfied with that, he even refuses to welcome other believers.”
(3 John 1:9-10)

This guy’s a piece of work, Jesus.

He’s so afraid he’ll lose his position in the church
that he wants no one else to attend!

May I always put the spread of Your gospel

ahead of my own agenda!

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us.”
(3 John 1:10)

That may be the hardest defense to pull off, Jesus:

defending myself.

The moment I open my mouth, I’m suspect.

After all, the number of guilty people who protest their innocence is legendary.

I have to face the fact that I will never be able

to completely convince people of my innocence.

But You can.

You’re my only hope!
My reputation depends on You.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“‘…the report…spreading among the…people is not good. If one person sins against another, God may mediate for the offender; but if anyone sins against the Lord, who will intercede for them?’ His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death.”
(1 Samuel 2:24-25)

Eli tried to correct his sons, Jesus…

but You knew their hearts were wicked to the core.
No amount of talk was going to deter them.

That…explains a lot.
