I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 16th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go straight to the Gospel of Mark 16:15. Jesus says:

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

I’ve written in the bottom of my Bible here, ”A great privilege. Thank you, Jesus, for this great honour. Please help us to preach with great power.”

Early this morning, I got sent a little clip, and it has made me cry, and I have to share this with you. This year is the 20th anniversary of the making of the movie ”Faith like Potatoes.” I hope you’ve seen the movie. If you haven’t, you need to see it, but it’s all about ordinary people, just like you and me, but this clip was sent to me from bonnie Scotland.

It is made in the south side of Glasgow, a tough area - beautiful people, coming from a tough background and living life in a tough way, but the salt of the earth. The video shows an Englishman going into a little shop that is selling potatoes. The Englishman walks in and is impressed by the state of the shop, and he says to the young man, ”I see you’ve got a book here on the counter. It’s called, Faith like Potatoes.” The shop owner says,“Yes, sir.” He says, ”This South African came across, he wrote this book, and his father is in the book as well.” The Englishman is running a food blog, talking about food, nothing about Jesus at all, and he asked about the book. He said, ”You see sir, I was in a rehab. I had a problem, and God touched me, and now I’m doing this for Him. If you look at the walls of this shop, you’ll see Scriptures everywhere, and this book is a story about a farmer who also trusted the Lord and believed God in a drought time, that He would get potatoes, and he planted potatoes, seed potatoes, and he reaped a crop.” And this Englishman is enthralled by this young man’s story.

What I want to say to you today is, we love the church, but what is happening is, God is moving outside the walls of the church in a very powerful way, and by the way, he’s got a whole lot of extra shops now, all over Glasgow, and that’s all he’s doing. He’s selling these beautiful cooked potatoes but he’s got the word of God on the counter! He’s got Scriptures all over the place and he’s making no apologies, and this young Englishman is captivated.

Today, use what you’ve got for the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
God bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 15th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in Psalm 51:10-11. David cries out:

”Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.“

That was his prayer after he had committed adultery with Bathsheba, and the Prophet Nathan had come and exposed him.

Then we go to Romans 10:13:

“For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

And you’ll find that also in Acts 2:21.

Anybody that calls upon the name, I said, anybody that calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved - the backslider, the thief, the murderer, the adulterer. Think about it: Moses, Zacchaeus, David, Paul, every one of them a sinner, called upon the name of the Lord, and they were gloriously saved and used by God.

I want to tell you about a baseball player who lived in the 1800’s. His name was Billy Sunday. He was a star player, one of the best in the world. On a Sunday afternoon, he was walking down the street in Chicago with a few of his baseball friends, and he went past a mission, a little city mission. He heard beautiful gospel songs being sung. He was a gambler, a drinker, and he used to swear like a trooper. What happened? He went in, he was called in by God, into that mission. They made an altar call after the preacher had preached. He went forward, knelt in public, cried out for forgiveness, and God miraculously saved him. He left a $3000 baseball contract and he became one of the greatest missionaries and evangelists that the world has ever known.

I want to say to you today, I don’t know where you are today, maybe you feel there’s no hope for you? “I don’t think that I have a second chance.” I want to tell you today, call upon the name of the Lord and He will hear you like He heard Billy Sunday and He will save you and give you a brand new life. “Whosoever” means literally any person, regardless of who, calls upon the name of Jesus Christ shall be saved. It happened to me, it can happen to you. I want to pray the sinner’s prayer with you right now.

Father God,

In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit,

I repent of all my sins, and I ask you once more to be the Lord of my life.

Amen.

Go out now and tell the first three people you meet what you’ve done. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.

Goodbye

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 14th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Gospel of John 20:15-16, where Mary Magdalene asks the man standing there,

“Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” ”Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).”

She heard His voice and recognised Him immediately, but she didn’t recognise Him when she saw Him standing there. She thought He was the gardener: “Sir, please tell me where you have put Him and I will take Him away’, and the voice, it was the voice that she knew. I want to ask you a question this morning, and I am asking myself the same question, do we know His voice? Mary knew the voice of Jesus. Straight away she said, “Rabboni!”

I have heard that many young Muslims in Iran at the moment are having dreams, and they are seeing a Man dressed in a white robe with eyes of fire, talking to them. Now I want you to read the Word of God and you will see in the Book of Revelation, that is the description of Jesus Christ.

In 2003, I was in the game reserve in the north of Kwazulu-Natal, and the Lord spoke to me so clearly in my heart, “Go home, cancel all of your preaching appointments. I want you to mentor young men.” That was the foundation and the beginning of the Mighty Men phenomenon that is going right around the world as I speak to you today.

This very year, we are having Mighty Men Conferences in Europe, in Australasia, in America, all over Africa - and we give the glory to God. Today, you need to really start to listen to the voice of God. “But” you say to me, “how will we know His voice?” Well, how do you know the voice of anyone? How do you know my voice? Because you listen to it and you hear it every single morning. Isn’t that right? People meet me at the airport. They don’t know what I look like but when I open my mouth they turn around and they say, “We know who that is” because they hear my voice.

Now, when you spend time with Jesus Christ every single day, you will learn to hear His voice and He will direct you, and by the way, He says very clearly in Revelation 22:20,

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen!

Today, let us hear the voice of God. He will comfort you, He will direct you and most of all, He will love you!
Jesus bless you and goodbye.
