Pray this Lazaroo with determined faith:

“The priest is to take a handful of the finest flour and some olive oil, together with all the incense on the grain offering, and burn the memorial portion on the altar as an aroma pleasing to the Lord…For all generations to come it is his perpetual share…Whatever touches them will become holy.”
(Leviticus 6:15, 18)

This is my prayer, Jesus…

that whoever touches my life will be pointed to You –

the only one who can make them holy!

Pray this Lazaroo with fair warning:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. Now the overseer…must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.”
(1 Timothy 3:1-2, 7)

Evil people love to tear down Your leaders, Jesus.

It’s not hard to do.
Try though they might, leaders are imperfect people.

Guard the reputation of the sincere shepherds of Your flock!

May all their faults be minor
and their devotion to You shine for all to see.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“…astrologers came forward and…said to King Nebuchadnezzar, ‘…Your Majesty has issued a decree that…whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews …who…neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.’”
(Daniel 3:8-12)

These conniving enemies of Yours thought they had it all figured out, Jesus.

But they were wrong!

You were about to turn their schemes back on them.

I’d sincerely appreciate it if You’d do the same

to all my unrepentant enemies.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble surrender:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.”
(1 Timothy 3:1,6)

This is good advice for overseers, Jesus.

It’s also an eye-opening insight into what happened with Satan.

You entrusted him with amazing gifts
but he deliberately ignored the fact

that You were the one
who gave them to him.

Sell out totally to God as you pray this Lazaroo:

“‘Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace.’ Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp and all kinds of music, all the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worshiped the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.”
(Daniel 3:6-7)

That was a no-brainer for everyone, Jesus.

Well…almost everyone.

There were a handful of Your people
who knew better.

May I always be numbered among that handful!

Pray this Lazaroo with unending allegiance:

“…whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.”
(2 John 1:9)

That’s the key, isn’t it, Jesus?

I’ve got to continue what I started.

Correction.

I’ve got to continue what You started in me!

And of course, if it was indeed You who started it

I will continue.

It’s when people have a form of godliness

but deny Who You really Are
that they don’t continue.

The proof today that I’m on my way to heaven through faith in You?

I’m still here.

Pray this Lazaroo in eye-opened trust:

“…whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”
(1 John 2:23)

Right, Jesus –

…because anyone who sees You

has seen the Father.

There aren’t millions of gods, three gods, two gods.

Just One.
You.

You’re the Father of all

the Savior of my soul

my indwelling Best Friend!

You’re the Creator of heaven and earth

of all that is
or ever will be.

You Are Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Three in One.
One in Three.

The only time it’s grammatically correct to say:

“They Is…He Are.”

Pray this Lazaroo with deep reverence:

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.”
(1 John 2:22)

You’re the Promised One, Jesus!

The Christ.
The Messiah.
The Savior of all who believe.

All who reject this truth are not only liars, but they’re the antichrist.

To deny You is to deny the Father
because You and the Father are One!

There’s a place for compromise.

This isn’t it.

Pray this Lazaroo with eyes wide open:

“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ.”
(1 John 2:22)

That clears up a few things, Jesus.

The atheist is a liar.

So when the atheist marshals their arguments against You

underneath every statement, every carefully-chosen fact
is hidden a deeply ugly secret:

The atheist isn’t seeking truth.

The atheist is desperately searching for a way
to escape Your authority over their life.

But their attempts are futile.

For one day soon they will stand before You

condemned.

Pray this Lazaroo in humble circumspection:

“Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task.”
(1 Timothy 3:1)

It’s natural, Jesus –

to look at what one of Your leaders is doing and think:

“I’d like to do that!”

It’s a noble thing to want to serve You.

They are to be commended, encouraged, helped,
guided, taught, prayed over.

But O God!

May only those You’ve truly called pursue that course

because in truth

they know not what they ask.
