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

We start in the Book of Deuteronomy 13:1-3:

“If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder,…” , ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet ...“

Then we go straight to the Gospel of John 1:1:

”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

So how do we identify a false prophet from a man who is a prophet of God? Well, according to the Word of God, very simply. We need to test the spirit and we need to have assurance that this man is talking about the things of the Lord. Remember in the Old Testament when Moses took his stick and it turned into a serpent? The magicians also had sticks and they threw them down and they also turned into serpents. The only difference was that the serpent that came out of the stick of Moses consumed all of the magicians' serpents. The Word of God is true.

If we look at John 1:1,

”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Then of course, we need peace. That’s the most important thing. If you don’t have peace in your heart when someone says to you, ”Let us go and follow something else.” Then you have to check your spirit, ”Holy Spirit, show me.”

In John 14:27, Jesus says,

”Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

When in doubt, don’t! How many times have we heard that before? The Word of God has never changed. It never will change because the Word of God is Jesus Christ in print. So, if that prophet comes with a word and it lines up with the Bible, that is fine, but if it doesn’t line up with the Bible and he tells you it is a new revelation, please folks, do not listen to him and do not have anything to do with him.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye

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

We start in the Gospel of Matthew 10:42. Jesus says,

”And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Then we go to the Gospel of Luke 9:48,

“Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me…”

I read a beautiful little article this morning by an anonymous writer and this is basically what it says: “Do not trample down the little daisies.” He says, ”We are in danger of looking too far for opportunities of doing good and communicating in reaching for the roses, we trample down the daisies.” So busy looking for the big things to do that the little things get stood upon!

I remember like yesterday, we had one of the big tents here on the farm. It was Sunday morning. We’d had a wonderful weekend. All the ladies and children had come to join their dads and their husbands. There was an amazing atmosphere of expectancy. I was coming around the back of the tent with some of the men to get onto the platform and start to preach, and the people were waiting, and I was excited, and as I walked towards them at the back to the tent to enter in through one of the flaps, there was a little boy who ran up to me.

He was only about five or six years old. He had a red face, he was very embarrassed, but he had a cell phone in his hand, and he asked if he could take my photo with him. I said, ”By all means, young boy.” And I got on my knees, and he stood next to me, and the guys that were looking after me, around about me, said, ”Angus, you need to get going, the people are waiting. The praise and worship is finished, it’s your time to speak now. You need to move along.” And I said, ”Just hang on a second,” and we lined it all up, and the photograph was about to be taken, and the battery was flat on the cell phone. So he said he was going to get another one from his mom and off he ran. The men said to me, ”You can’t wait any longer, the people are waiting, you need to get in there now.” I said, ”Hang on a minute.” Then his mother came running up with him and really apologised. I said, ”No problem at all.” We all got posed and ready. Me on my knees, him standing next to me and we got the photograph taken and off he went. He was so happy.

Folks, do not trample on the daisies. Do not get so involved in the big things that you forget the most important things in life. You know, when I went in, I preached my heart out that morning, and I believe the Holy Spirit honoured the fact that I’d waited for one of the little daisies before I went into the tent!

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 13th of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Acts 22:15:

”For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard.”

That was the word through Ananias, to the great man of God, Paul the Apostle.

Then we go to 1 Timothy 3:7:

”Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside…”

You and I have been called to be witnesses for Jesus Christ, just as the Lord called Paul, the Apostle. “Tell the world about the soon-coming king.” You don’t have to be a theologian, you don’t have to go to university and study theology. No, in the area that the Lord has placed you. I want to tell you about three men who have really impacted my life.

The first one was a dairy farmer from America, Demos Shakarian. He was a very successful dairy farmer. One of the biggest in the world in his day, and yet the Lord called him to be a witness to men, and he started the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship, which went right around the world, amongst all denominations and drew many men to Jesus Christ. He was a good witness for the Lord.

The second one that really impacted my life was Robert Le Tourneau. Robert Le Tourneau was a very simple man. He was a mechanic, he used his hands, and he had a brilliant mind. He started the earth-moving business, which eventually sold out to Caterpillar. He used to tithe 90% of his income and keep 10% for himself. What an impact he made on the world, especially in the mission field.

Then the third man is Dr Ben Carson, the first neurosurgeon to separate two seven-month-old baby boys from Germany, the Binders, and both lived. Normally one would die but in his case, he had a team of over seventy people, and he performed nothing less than a miracle, but what a witness for Jesus Christ!

Today, let’s use what we’ve got, and where God put us, to preach the Gospel, and you will be surprised how God will use you.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
