I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 21st of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

It is Father's Day, I want to congratulate all fathers on this day, not an easy job!

We go to the Gospel of John 20:21:

”So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

You and I have been sent by God. That wonderful man of God, F B Meyer, wrote, ”We should never leave our room until we have seen the face of our dear Master, Jesus Christ, and have realised that we are being sent forth by Him to do His will and to finish the work that He has given us to do.” That’s quite an awesome thing, isn’t it, to be sent by the Lord?

Now, every single day, God has a plan for your lives and for my life, every single day. I can see some old lady there, in an old age home says, ”What have I got to do today? I can’t even leave my room.” What you can do, you can pray, and please put me on that list. You can pray because God answers prayer. That’s one thing I do know. You know, people ask me often, ”What can we do to help you or help the ministry?” And I just say one thing, ”Please pray.” You see when men work, they work, but when men pray, God works. So every single day, you and I have got something to do. He gives us the wherewithal to do the job.

I can hear a young man say, ”I will never get that degree, I just cannot get there.” You can and you will, and every day, you do your part, God will do the rest, and then of course, He doesn’t send us out like lambs amongst the wolves. No, He sends us out with the Holy Spirit, and if you listen to Him carefully, He will direct your paths. He will tell you, ”Don’t go this way, go that way. Don’t do this, do that. Phone that person, don’t phone the other person.” Listen! Get into a habit of listening to everything He wants you to do. We need to do exactly as Jesus did because Jesus said, ”The Father has sent Me and even so I send you.” Each one of us. I am so excited about what God has got in store for you today. It might just be what you think is something very small but it might just change a person’s life forever.

So Father, I pray for my friends now, that they will never think that they are of no use, but You have called them, appointed them for a time such as this. Make them obedient to Your word which says, ”Lord, please send me.”

I ask this in Jesus’ precious name, amen.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 20th of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Hebrews 11:1

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Then we go down to verse 6:

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Folks, I want to tell you, Abraham was a very wealthy man, he left everything, by faith, and went to an unknown destination. Now, that takes faith. But if we go to James 2:23, the scripture says that

“Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

If you want to please God, we need to walk by faith and not by sight. We need to believe in things that we cannot see but we need to trust the word of God and nothing else.

A man phoned me the other day. He was so sad - his brother had just lost his whole crop for the whole year. A hailstorm came through and destroyed his avocado pears and his maize crop. The young man is devastated. I want to say to you, if you are listening to this message, young man, I do really understand. I have been there, not once but many times, but one thing that will come out of this, if you allow the Lord to take full control, your faith will grow. That’s how faith grows. Faith grows when we walk the talk and we stand by faith. “Even though He slay me”, another farmer said, “yet will I still trust Him.” You will find that in Job 13:15.

I have got something I put up on the wall in my prayer room. I have stuck it on the wall with Prestik because it is important to me. This is what I have written: “From start to finish by faith, not by effort, not by good works, but by faith.”

"It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” Romans 1:17.

Mark 11:22: “Have faith in God.”

Aim higher, go further, trust more and the mountain must move, and let there be no doubt in what you are doing, and Jesus Christ will do the rest in your life.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 19th of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Acts 23:11. This is Jesus speaking to Paul:

“Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.”

Then we go straight to Philippians 1:21. Paul says:

”For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

Are you afraid to die? Are you afraid of the future? Are you afraid that maybe something will happen to your family if you are not here? This is your time to put your trust in the Lord. We’re living in perilous times. I’m sure many young mothers, when they look at their children and their babies, say, ”Lord, what kind of future does my child have?” I want to say something to you, if you are in Christ Jesus, you are immortal until your work here on earth has been completed. Now I’ve heard that said many times by many wonderful men and women of God. I am immortal until my work here on earth is completed. You see, Jesus said to Paul, ”You’ve got to go to Rome now. You’ve witnessed for me in Jerusalem and it caused a lot of trouble.” They were actually ganging up together to kill him. The Lord said, ”But Paul, you’ve still got to go to Rome. You’ve got a work to do there before I call you home.”

Philippians 1:21:

”For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

When you have that attitude there’s nothing to fear in this world because immortal means that no one or nothing can kill you until God says so. So you have a work to do, I have a work to do and until we are finished the work we are not going anywhere.

“Once the work is done, you’ve completed your assignment on earth, whatever that might be, then I will call you home.” Now that is an assurance for me, I hope it is for you as well because that means that we press on irrespective. Obviously, we are wise but we are bold and courageous because our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and on the great day when He says, ”Right, it’s time to come home, Jane. It’s time to come home, Freddy.” You know, ”Lord I am ready.”

So may God bless you as you step out today with boldness, courage, knowing that God is in full control of your life. No matter what people might think or say, if God is for you, who can stand against you? No one!

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
