John 11:1-45, Exodus 3:1-10, 1 John 3:8, John 9:3, John 12:1-9

Men and brethren, Lazarus family were the beloved, they were favoured, they were cherished but got disappointment when their son, their brother, their hope for a family extension was sick for many days and the Master whom they cared for and who cared for them did not honour their invitation as they expected.

Jesus wanted to pay them back for all the care because God does not owe any man; he wanted to take care of the surrounding problems. Sometimes we are loved by God and He just doesn’t show up when we think we need Him the most. In the midst of waiting for the coming of the master, Lazarus was dead – meaning the problem was multiplied.

Sometimes in the midst of solving one problem, another problem comes up and another, and we become totally discouraged; that was the picture of the dead Lazarus. Sometimes to us, our reasoning becomes, ‘I am finished but to God I have just started; to man, I am now the laughingstock but to God men shall celebrate you when they see the miracles; to man the problem has lasted, even your enemies feel you are wasting time calling on him, because they are alive, they are richer, they are more educated, and they see you the way they saw Lazarus; dead but Jesus said, we are going to change his story. Hear me, your Change has come!

Right where you are, you must fight back, dont allow doubt and unbelief and by thinking God won’t help you because you haven’t done everything right. Or believing that God is willing to help other people but not you like Martha did.

But God doesn’t expect perfection from us. God works in our lives through faith. He wants us to trust Him, believe in Him, have faith in Him, and have a hopeful, positive attitude. He wants us to expect Him to do good things in our lives. “Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” John 11:40

Every day you need to say, “Something good is going to happen to me today. I can hardly wait to see what God is going to do in my life today!” And you especially need to speak this when the devil is trying to flood your mind with doubts.

The way you fight the devil is by opening your mouth and saying what God says. Don’t just let the devil use your mind as a garbage dump. Your Lazarus can be your career, your marriage, your business or education, it could be your happiness or your Christian life; whatever it is, it must surely come back to life in the name of Jesus Christ. Let the stone be rolled away for your Lazarus to come back to life. And Jesus said, “loose him and let him go”, so hear me! According to the word of the Lord this day; whosoever, whatsoever that is responsible for the life of your Lazarus shall not experience peace and shall have sleepless night until your Lazarus, your miracle is loosed and let go in the name that is above every other name, in Jesus name. Your Lazarus shall bounce back. “Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.” John 10:45. “Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead” John 12:9.

While Mary, Martha and Lazarus honoured Jesus with a dinner. Be warned that as others are celebrating you, there are people who will try to cut short your celebration. Judas objected. But some refuse to be a Martha (server), Mary (worshiper) or Lazarus (testifier) John 12:6 “This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.” Judas was a thief; he stole from other church members. For every Martha, Mary and Lazarus, there is a Judas, who take, take, take and never give. Judas was close to Jesus physically, but not spiritually. Judas took and benefited from the gifts of others, yet seldom, if ever gave of his own, only criticized. Henceforth, men shall celebrate you. People shall no longer see your limitations but rather your potentials. All your secret heart desires shall be actualized.
