Go out on a Limb

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 09May2025

Scripture Reference: Mt 25:14-30

The Master chosen 3 faithful servants to give a chance based on what they could do. Master knew them well. This is the key. All of us given a chance, a talent, bag full of gold/ silver cains. 

If the Master entrusted us, HE gives us a chance to move forward by giving possessions (purpose). 

The remarkable aspect is that the Master did not provide any instructions to any of them regarding their tasks. He simply entrusted them and began His journey to a distant land. Meanwhile, the servants immediately started their work. Two out of the three took initiative to multiply the possessions entrusted to them. They embraced responsibility and remained focused, acting as personal wealth planners to God and investment advisors to the Lord by achieving results and doubling the talents: 5 became 10, and 2 became 4.

When the Master returned, He observed the results and praised them with great enthusiasm—"Well done! Excellent work You have shown faithfulness in managing a small amount, and you have produced much more to present. Your commitment to delivering results and acting as dedicated stewards is commendable. Now, I will entrust you with even greater responsibilities. Let us celebrate this success together!

The Master entrusted the Servants with investments, the Servants acted as Stewards multiply the talents. Unfortunately, one of them chose to do anything but hid the talents safely. Participating is more important than winning or losing.

Without investment there is no harvest - Bishop TD Jakes. 

Let us not underestimate the opportunities bestowed upon us by the Lord Jesus Christ.

  • When the prodigal son decided to return and humbly requested to be treated as a servant, the father Graciously restored to sonship. A big celebrations. Lk 15:11-31
  • A young boy surrendered his modest meal, witnessing the miracle of feeding 5,000 men.. Mt 14:13-21
  • One leper seized the opportunity to return and express gratitude to Jesus, and his faith made him well. Lk 17:11-19
  • David took a chance to face the giant, creating a new chapter in history.. 1 Kg 17:10-11
  • A pot of oil and a handful of flour symbolized a remarkable turnaround for the widow of Zarephath, showcasing resilience and divine provision in her time of need.. 1 Kg 11:10-11
  • For three years the tree has borne no fruit, yet the vinedresser grants it another chance to yield results. Lk 13:7
  • Pruning - each branch is to yield more fruit.- Jn 15:2/ Lk 13:7

Scripture Formula

  • Servant + Assignment = Stewardship
  • Stewardship + Results = Sonship / Partnership/ Ownership

Let us go out on a limb. Let us seize the opportunity, take a risk, and make a bold declaration, placing ourselves in a vulnerable position the sake of our beliefs, without seeking personal gain or recognition in our commitment to Christ.

Father God, thank you for the chances given to us. When we step out, to do a trading, business of any kind, when we are going out on a limb, we want YOUR anointing, favour, guidance. We speak calm over the storms. We declare success over failures, peace over worries, victory over any kind of victim mindset. We speak a blessings of Increase, multiplication, advancement, promotion, growth and revival. We speak and declare a win on every battle we face. We join with millions and millions of Angels, who are saying in loud voice THE LAMB WHO WAS KILLED IS WORTHY TO RECEIVE POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOR, GLORY AND PRAISE forever and ever. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend. 

In His Grip

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
