I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 30th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Job 13:15:

”Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”

That’s unconditional surrender, and being a farmer myself and looking at his life, you know he suffered very, very much, but at the end of his life, everything he lost, the Lord gave him back a hundred-fold.

Then we go to the Book of Acts 14:22. This is Paul:

”…strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

In the Message Translation, it says,

“Anyone signing up for the kingdom of God has to go through plenty of hard times.”

Are you going through a tough time at the moment? You know what concerns me sometimes? Many preachers will say, “Come to Jesus, and all your problems will be over.” That’s not the truth. Come to Jesus, and He will give you new life. Jesus never promised you or me a bed of roses when we gave our lives to Him. He never said that He would take us out of the fire, did He? No, what He said was, He will walk with us through the fire and that is good news.

I want to tell you that since I’ve given my life to the Lord, I’ve experienced more trials, tribulations, and hardships than before I became a Christian, but the only difference is that the hardships that I am suffering now are worthwhile. I am in the winning team. Are you in the winning team today? I hope so, because for us, home time is very near and what a life that is going to be. So today, do not despair if you are going through a hard time. Remember, the Lord told us clearly in Hebrews 13:5:

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Jesus bless you today and have a wonderful, peaceful, joyful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 28th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Book of Deuteronomy 1:9 and this is Moses speaking:

“And I spoke to you at that time, saying: ‘I alone am not able to bear you.”

In other words, ‘I can’t do it on my own. There are too many of you.”

Then we go to Luke 6:13.

“And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles…”

Even the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself, would not do it alone. I am not saying that He couldn’t, but He wouldn’t. He appointed others. You and I cannot do it alone. We were never meant to. We need to learn to delegate and not leave it too long. We must pass it on, otherwise, we will lose it all. Jesus passed it on. I am talking to that old farmer. It is time to pass the baton on to your son. I am talking to that businesswoman. You cannot continue at the pace you are going. You need help and if you don’t take it, you are going to lose it all. I am talking about that career. If you want that career to blossom, you need to share it with others.

I will never, ever forget in the year 2010, we had possibly the largest men's meeting on this farm, Shalom, something like 450,000 men on this farm. Unbelievable! We have got the evidence to show you. The Holy Spirit clearly said to me, “Now you need to pass it on.” I said to the boys, “It is the last one on this farm. We need to go out and multiply what God is doing, and has been doing on this farm.”

Well, I got a lot of criticism. A lot of people wrote in, “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to stop the revival?” “No, I am doing what God told me to do.” And do you know, since then, the Mighty Men movement, which was designed to help women and children, has exploded. As I record this message, we have a delegation coming back from Texas, USA. They have just had a Mighty Men Conference there. Very shortly, we will be going to Walvis Bay in Namibia to have a Mighty Men conference. They are taking place all over the world. If you don’t pass it on, it will die.

Today, pass it on and God will give you even more.
Jesus bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 29th of April, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to 2 Chronicles 16:9a:

“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”

The Lord is looking for a man, a woman this morning that He can trust. He wants to support you, He wants to make you strong, and He wants you to speak up.

Then we go to John 4:34:

“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”

I want to ask you a question this morning. What gets you up early in the morning? What is the thing that gets you excited every time? I have two sons. My second son, if you want to get him up and going, you talk to him about horses. He is our “horse whisperer” on the farm. He knows more about horses than anybody else I know. From a little boy, when he was still in nappies, I used to take him for rides on my horse, and now he is a horseman who is second to none. In fact, he has people on his farm. He brings in young folk, and he teaches them the finer points of horsemanship. If you want to make him start talking to you, just mention horses.

Then I have three grandsons and these boys are into paddling. They get into that canoe and they paddle. They have got medals to prove it. If you want to get them going, talk to them about paddling. Then I have got another two grandsons. These boys are ceded Number 1 and Number 2 in their school in tennis. If you want to get them talking to you, talk about tennis. Then I have another two grandsons and their whole focus is on horses as well, roping horses, gentling horses, starting horses and these boys can ride.

And then yours truly. If you want to get me talking, ask my wife, you speak to me about preaching, about the Gospel, about speaking to men and women about Jesus, and I will talk to you until the cows come home. We need to understand one thing. Jesus said, “My meat is to the will of Him who has sent me.“ Today, it doesn’t matter what we do in life, remember the most important thing, and by the way, all those young boys and my sons that I have spoken about, all of them love Jesus Christ with a passion.

God bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
