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

Boldness

Boldness Reference: Heb 4:12-16 We do not have to tiptoe toward God. We can always enter His presence—not only when in need, full, or facing challenges. His Word pierces soul and spirit, joints and marrow. He knows our thoughts and intentions before we ask or think. So the author of Hebrews urges us: boldly approach the throne of Grace. Receive daily bread, seasonal help, mercies, and Grace He has already arranged. In time of need, at the right time, He will help us. As Peter assured, submit obediently in His hand. Confidence: Not because the week went well. Not because your prayers feel mature. Because the curtain tore. Confidence isn't arrogance. It's knowing God left the door open.  The barrier didn't get thin—it split wide open. The King on the throne is also our High Priest. He knows our weakness from the inside. We are not interrupting Him. We have been invited. Gentle invitation. Urgent invitation. If Grace finds us and fills the room, what happens to the pressure to...

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer

The Lifestyle of David - Faith, Trust and Prayer Reference - 1 Sam 17, Ps 59 and 2 Sam 15 David was known as a man after God’s own heart, as witnessed by God Himself. The Bible reveals many reasons for this, but one of the most notable is his unwavering faith—trusting God completely and placing all his hope in the One who is more than able to guide him. I would like to discuss three scenarios and observe his responses to inspire our faith and draw us closer to Him. 1) When the Israelite army fled from Goliath, David stood his ground, boldly declaring the giant’s defeat before the fight even began, trusting entirely in the Name of the Lord rather than physical weapons. With a single stone, David struck Goliath down, vindicated God’s Name, routed the Philistine army, and proved to all that the battle belongs to the Lord. He proclaimed victory before the clash, relying not on spear, sword, or javelin, but on the Lord’s power. David said, in 1 Sam 17:45-47, “You come against me with sword,...

Prayer is tactical, transactional and transformative practice in the Bible.

Yes, prayer in the Bible is indeed **tactical**, **transactional**, and **transformative**. Each of these aspects highlights a different dimension of prayer, showing its depth and power in the life of a believer. Let’s explore these three dimensions with biblical examples and insights: --- ### **1. Prayer is Tactical** Prayer is a **spiritual weapon** and a strategic tool in the believer’s life. It is used to engage in spiritual warfare, seek God’s guidance, and advance His kingdom. - **Biblical Example**: **Ephesians 6:18**     Paul instructs believers to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." This is part of the "armor of God," showing that prayer is a tactical weapon in spiritual battles.    - **Application**:     Prayer is not passive; it is an active, intentional practice to combat evil, break strongholds, and bring God’s will to earth. It is a way to align ourselves with God’s strategies and overcome th...
