Advocate Boyce Mkhize explained that before you can be unleashed for God's service, you must first understand that you were on a leash. This means your gifts, time, and opportunities are entrusted to you by God, not owned by you. To move into being fully unleashed, you need to let go of certain things, such as pride, fear, past failures, or selfish ambitions. Once you receive what God gives you, you must dress it, meaning develop, prepare, and present it well. You also need to keep it, which means maintain and steward it faithfully so it lasts.
Using the parable of the Good Samaritan, he contrasted the priest and the Levite, who both saw the wounded man but passed by, leaving him for dead, with the Samaritan, who went out of his way to care for him. The religious leaders were on a leash but not unleashed for true service. The Samaritan, however, demonstrated what it means to be unleashed: compassionate, sacrificial action that goes beyond convenience or religious duty.
