Pray this Lazaroo with unswerving holy intent:

“Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau…”
(Obadiah 1:21)

You gave the entire promised land to the descendants of Jacob, Jesus

even though Esau was the firstborn
the one traditionally in line to receive the inheritance.

But Esau had no heart for You

didn’t value what You value.

So he lost his chance

leaving the descendants of his younger brother
to rule over the whole land.

O God!

May what I value
perfectly align with You.

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!
