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

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
