I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 22nd of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Deuteronomy 14:25:

“…then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses.”

We are talking here about the tithe. That’s ten per cent of our income, which belongs to the Lord. When the Israelites had reaped their crop, they would take ten per cent to the Temple and give it to the Lord. What the Lord is saying, “but if you are far off, if you are in a far off place and you can’t get home, what you do is you sell ten per cent of your crop, take the money and with the money, you give it to the work of the Lord which the Lord will show you.”

Then we go to Malachi 3:8:

“Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
In tithes and offerings.

The Lord goes on in verse 10:

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,…”

Where is the storehouse? The storehouse is the place where you receive your bread, your spiritual food. He says:

“And try Me now in this,”
Says the Lord of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.”

He goes on in verse 11, He says:

“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the Lord of hosts;…”

Oh, my dear friend, it’s very straightforward and it’s something we don’t like to talk about, isn't it? Some people are just continually losing out, but they will not give the Lord His tithe, which is ten per cent. You might say, ”But I work on a far-off oil rig in the middle of the sea. There’s no church where I am.” But you can send your money home, to a place where you receive your daily nourishment, from wherever that might be. God will tell you where to send it, maybe to an orphanage, maybe to a missionary station. I don’t know, but folks, I want to tell you, we must not rob God. I am talking to myself as well. We have to give Him 10% of the income from our hard-earned work. He says, if we do, then He will reward us and He will keep the devourer back from us and He will not allow the devourer to destroy the fruit of our labours.

Let’s just be obedient and let's give to the Lord Jesus Christ His due money. May the Lord bless you, have a wonderful day, and do not feel guilty about it at all. Start as soon as you can, and you will see the difference.

Jesus bless you and goodbye.

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.
