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.
