Bless The Lord O My Soul
November 29, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.79 MBIt is 29th November, Sunday morning, 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. I want to speak to you today about worshipping God. If we go to Psalm 103, verses 1 and 2: “Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits” You might ask me, when is the optimum time to worship and to praise Almighty God? Probably when you least feel like it! Well, I like to worship and pra...

Authority
November 28, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 4.85 MBit is 28th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Romans, Romans Chapter 8 and verse 31: “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” The opposition of unbelievers and satan himself shall never succeed since God is for us. It reminds me of that little, small, puny traffic officer who steps out onto the highway and puts his hand up and stops a thirty ton truck carrying timber or some h...
Misunderstanding
November 27, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 7.05 MBIt is Friday, 27th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. Joshua, Chapter 22 from verse 10 right through to verse 34 - please read it if you get an opportunity. I will not read it for you today. I want to speak to you about misunderstanding. Misunderstanding. You see what happened was, there were twelve tribes that were going across the Jordan River into the Land of Canaan. But two and a half of those tribes, the tribes of Gad, Reuben and ha...
Knocking On Your Heart
November 26, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 4.9 MBIt is the 26th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. “Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Revelation, Chapter 3 and verse 20. Can you hear the knocking on your heart? Jesus wants to dine with you and with me today. He wants to get involved with what we are doing. He wants to help us, especially as we are going with this lockdown and some ...
Can You Hear The Knocking On Your Heart?

Hunt With The Hounds, And Run With The Hares.
November 25, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 4.34 MBIt is Wednesday, 25th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. The Book of Revelation, the last book in the Bible, Chapter 3 and one verse - verse 15, The Lord says: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.” The road to hell is paved with good intentions. We are either hot or we are cold, Jesus says. It is better to have tried and failed than to have never even tried at all. We can no longer hunt...

The Book of Revelation, the last book in the Bible, Chapter 3 and one verse - verse 15, The Lord says: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot.

Moving Slowly
November 24, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.77 MBIt is 24th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Mark, Chapter 6 and verse 31: “And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves.” My perception of Jesus was that He was never in a rush when He walked upon this earth. He always had time for ever...
All Hands On Deck!
November 23, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.94 MBIt s Monday, 23rd November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. Mark, Chapter 6 and verse 3: “Is this not the carpenter?” Folks, Jesus was a working man. He was a carpenter by trade. Abraham, the father of faith, was a farmer by profession. David, the greatest king that Israel ever had apart from Jesus, was a shepherd boy. Peter, the leader of the church, was a fisherman. What is God saying to us today? All hands on deck! You don’t have to be a...

Believers Go To Heaven
November 22, 2020 04:00 - 4 minutes - 7.5 MBIt is 22nd November, 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Revelation, Chapter 3 and verse 5: “…I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.” We shall have a guaranteed entrance into Heaven, not because of anything we have done but because of a saving and loving God, whose name is Jesus. Good people don’t go to Heaven. Believers go to Heaven. it is not b...
He Is Greater Than Anything In The World
November 21, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.68 MBIt is Saturday morning, 21st November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Word of God in 1 John, Chapter 4 and verse 4, it says: “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” Maybe today, you are feeling fearful? Maybe today, you are feeling lonely? Maybe you are feeling, how are you going to cope? I have got good news for you. If Jesus Christ is your Lo...
He Is Greater

One Genuine Miracle Equals A Thousand Sermons
November 20, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.55 MBIt is Friday, 20th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Acts, Chapter 15 and verse 12: “Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.” You know, here at Shalom we say, “One genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons.” They were seated there listening to these two men who were talking about the miracles that God ...

To Him Who Overcomes
November 19, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.94 MBIt is Thursday morning, 19th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. The Book of Revelation, Chapter 2, and verse 7 says: “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’ The Lord Jesus is interested in good finishes. The Lord is not interested or concerned about good starters. It is good finishers that He is inte...

November 19, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.94 MBIt is Thursday morning, 19th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day.

Great Moments Often Catch Us Unaware
November 18, 2020 04:00 - 5 minutes - 10.4 MBIt is 18th November, 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for today. If we go to the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 25, just 2 verses, The Lord Jesus says: “For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ A very good friend sent me a story that I want to read to you. It goes like this: “I arrived at the addr...
Do Not Neglect Your First Love
November 16, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.66 MBIt is Monday morning,16th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Revelation, the last Book in the Bible, Chapter 2 and verse 4, and The Lord says: “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lamp stand from its place--unless you repent.” A good idea is not always ...
Don’t Waste Time Today
November 15, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.27 MBIt is Sunday morning, 15th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for the day. Revelation - the last book in the Bible, Chapter 1 verse 8, Jesus says: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.” We want to talk about time. Time never affects The Lord Jesus Christ because He is time. He is the Beginning and the End. We have that favourite saying we have these days, not only from old people but from young people as well. “Where has the time ...
The Lord Is Always With Those Who Are Broken-hearted.
November 14, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 7.03 MBIt is Saturday morning, 14th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. Psalm 34 and verse 18: “The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart and saves such as have a contrite spirit.” Contrite means feeling or expressing remorse. Jesus is always close to those of us who have a broken heart or who are feeling crushed. How are you feeling today? God is found right there where your heart is broken. Remember, He was in the Garden of Gethsemane. ...
The Big Mountain
November 13, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.18 MBIt is Friday, 13th November 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. Joshua Chapter 14 and reading from verse 10: “And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, bo...
Trust In Your Heavenly Father
November 12, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.49 MBIt is Thursday 12th November 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. Mark, Chapter 11 and verse 22: “Have faith in God.” That is what God is requiring of you and I today as we continue with this lockdown, this Coronavirus, which is literally turning the world upside down. The Lord is looking for faith-walkers like never before. He is not interested in our efforts. When we come to the end of our abilities and our strength, that is when we really are forc...
Stand Firm
November 11, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 4.51 MBThis is Angus Buchan with a thought for the day. 2 Timothy Chapter 4 verse 7 says: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Some people are quick to say that fiery trials or tribulation are the result of sin in your life. If your crop is not a bumper one or your cattle are not fat, you have an overdraft and your tractor has just packed up, there must be a problem with your faith, they insist. If that were the case, why did Paul, one of the greates...
The Law Binds Us But The Spirit Of God Frees Us.
November 10, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 5.37 MBIt is Tuesday 10th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Galatians Chapter 5 and verse 18: “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” No longer dominated by the law. Romans Chapter 8 verse 1: “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” You can soar like that majestic eagle above all the trials and tribulations of this world. When you are led by the Spirit of God you ar...
Sow Good Seeds
November 09, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.61 MBIt is 9th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Psalms - Psalm 37 and verse 27, the Lord says: “Depart from evil, and do good; And dwell forevermore. For the Lord loves justice, And does not forsake His saints; They are preserved forever, But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.” The Lord wants you and I to walk the talk. He wants us to have a good testimony, to do good and not to imitate evil. The 3rd Epistle o...
What Is Truth?
November 08, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.96 MBIt is Sunday morning, 8th November, 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for the day. John Chapter 8 and verse 31 and 32: “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” What is truth? Well, I looked up the Oxford Dictionary and basically it says it is opposed to false. Truth is the opposite of telling lies. Remember, if you are liar, you better have a very good memory because you have to kee...
“Conquered Victor”
November 06, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.73 MBIt is Friday, 6th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Gospel of Mark, Chapter 8 and verse 36, the New King James Versions says: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” The Passion Translation Modern Version says: “For what use is it to gain all the wealth and power of this world, with everything it could offer you, at the cost of your own life?” Absolutely worthless, isn’t it, and...
Lift Up Your Eyes And Look
November 05, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 5.47 MBIt is Thursday morning, 5th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of 1 John Chapter 5 and from verse 11: “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” Yes, the testimony is very simple. He who has Jesus in his heart has eternal life, and he who does not have Jesus does not have life at all, not...
My Bible Is Everything To Me.
November 04, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.62 MBIt is Wednesday, 4th November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to 1 John Chapter 5 and verse 7, the Word of God says that “there are three that bear witness on earth: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.” Well, first of all, there is proof of the Holy Trinity: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - but who is the Word? Well, the Word is Jesus! That is right - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but this scripture s...
Concentrate On The Things Of God.
November 03, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.81 MBIt is Tuesday morning 3rd November 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 26 and I am just reading two verses, 3 and 4: You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength. You and I need to concentrate on the things of God. If we go to the game reserve and we sit and watch that majestic elephant whic...
Have Faith In God
November 02, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.48 MB VideoIt is Monday morning the 2nd of November 2020, and this is your friend Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Gospel of John chapter 1 and verse 12 the Lord says, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become the children of God, to those who believe in His name:” We are going to overcome this world by our faith in God. Remember that lovely easy memory verse, Mark chapter 11 verse 22 which simply says: “Have faith in God.” It’s by believing in Him...
Forgive
November 01, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 5.4 MBAnd a very good morning to you! It is Sunday morning, 1st November and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. 1 John Chapter 4 and verse 21: “And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.” This is not negotiable. Remember when Jesus was dying on the cross, what did he say? He said, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do.” Luke Chapter 23 and verse 34. Maybe today there is a child who has so disappointed...
Just Do Whatever He Tells You To Do
October 30, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.72 MBIf we go to the Book of Joshua, Chapter 6 and verse 20: “And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat.” We need to do what The Lord tells us to do and sometimes it doesn’t actually make sense. It doesn’t add up. The Lord told Joshua to tell the people to march around the walls of Jericho seven times, to blow the trumpets, to make a great shout and the walls fell down flat. I have been to Jericho in...
No Fishing!
October 28, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.08 MBIt is Wednesday morning 28th October 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Joshua Chapter 5 and I am reading verse 9: “Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” That is an amazing statement. Maybe today you feel like you have disappointed someone in your life; Maybe you have let the show down; Maybe when you were a young girl, you had an abortion, and you didn’t know what you we...
Therefore Bear Fruits Worthy Of Repentance
October 27, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.7 MBIt is Tuesday, 27th October 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to Matthew - Matthew Chapter 3 and verse 8: “Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance…” We have to change, and this country has to change and this world has to change. And how is that going to happen? When God’s people start to genuinely repent on behalf of the people, standing in the gap for our loved ones, who maybe do not know or maybe don’t even want to know Jesus at this t...
We Shall Be Known By Our Fruit
October 26, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.74 MBIt is Monday morning, 26th October 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. 1 John Chapter 3 and verse 4: “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.” We cannot break the law. The Lord says we shall be known by our fruit. An apple tree cannot produce oranges. We must obey God’s law. A man who spurns sin and seeks after God is a man who abides in God. John 15, verse 7 says: “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you ...
Dark Clouds And Silver Linings
October 25, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.72 MBit is Sunday morning 25th October, 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. One of my favourite scriptures is John Chapter 16, the Gospel of John, Chapter 16 and verse 33. Jesus says: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Are you facing a big black dark cloud in your life at the moment? Well, I want to ask you to please focus on the silver...
Yesterday, Today And Forevermore
October 24, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.55 MBIt is Saturday 24th October 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Genesis 18 and I am reading from verse 13: “And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?” Verse 14 says: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” And that is maybe the question The Lord is asking you today because of the predicament you find yourself in. Is there anything too hard for The Lord Jesus to help ...
Follow Your Leader
October 22, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.93 MBIt is the 22nd October 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Joshua, Chapter 3, just a couple of verses: “Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and they set out from Acacia Grove and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they crossed over.” And then we just go down to verse 3: “and they commanded the people, saying, “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priest...
If You Aim At Nothing You Are Sure To Hit It.
October 21, 2020 03:30 - 3 minutes - 5.59 MBIt is 21st October, Wednesday, 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Proverbs, Chapter 29 and verse 18 - I am reading from the New King James Version. “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint “ What does that mean? Well, it means if you aim at nothing you are sure to hit it. Do not allow circumstances or situations to alter your vision. Hold onto your vision. Don’t let political, economical or anything else ...
It's Time To Take Your Inheritance
October 18, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.05 MBIt is Sunday morning, 18th October, 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Joshua, right at the beginning of the Bible - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua! “Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, “Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God ...
I AM WHO I AM
October 17, 2020 04:00 - 2 minutes - 5.39 MBIt is Saturday morning, 17th October 2020 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Exodus Chapter 3 and I am reading verse 14: “And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.” Oh today, we must remember that He is. “He is who?” you might ask. Well, He is The Alpha and The Omega. He is The Beginning and The End. The sun doesn’t rise without His permission and ...
Just Do What The Book Says
October 16, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.87 MBIt is Friday morning, 16th October 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Joshua in the Old Testament, Joshua Chapter 1 and verse 8: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.” I am talking about the Bible. I am talking about my...
He Stood His Ground
October 15, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.84 MBIt is 15th October, Thursday morning, 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of Hebrews, Chapter 4 and verse 15: “ For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Jesus was tempted for forty days and forty nights in the dessert by the devil, yet He never succumbed to the devil. I looked up t the word, “succumb” in the Oxford Dictionary. It says He ...
There Is Freedom In Confession
October 14, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 6.44 MBIt is Wednesday, 14th October 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Book of 1 John, Chapter 1 and verse 9: In fact, that was the second memory verse that I learnt off by heart when I gave my life to Christ, 41 years ago. The first one was John Chapter 3 and verse 16 - “For God so loved the world….” And this was the second one and it goes like this: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us...
A Small Gesture Speaks Much Louder Than Words
October 13, 2020 04:00 - 3 minutes - 5.52 MBIt is Tuesday, 13th October 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day. If we go to the Gospel of John, Chapter 13, I am going to read two verses starting at verse 4: “He rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.” A gesture, I think that we will never forget. God Himself washing His creat...
