I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning. The 27th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Malachi 1:11 in the Old Testament,

"For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down,
My name shall be great among the Gentiles;…"

Then we go to Matthew 8:8:

"Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed."

There is no other name in Heaven or on Earth by which we may call Him. He is the Saviour of the world. He is the power, the authority, He is healing and salvation. He is God made flesh. You know what the problem is, my dear friend, you and I don't use it enough, do we? We don't make mention of His name enough because for some people it is offensive. I want to tell you something now - we have to start shouting out His name louder than ever before. Isaiah 62:6, the Lord says:

"You who make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent,…"

We have got to speak it out.

Do you remember that beautiful old song, "It's the Name Above all Names"? Let's try and sing it together:

Its the name above all names, and we will declare it, we will declare it
Its the name above all names, and we will shout it to a dying world.
Who will declare My name? Who will shout My name in the middle of the nations?
Who will take the shield of faith and the sword of My tongue, And declare My name to a dying world?

You who have declared Me thus far, Will walk in even greater power
Though the sands of time are running out, My name will be declared in this final hour
I am Jehovah! I Am that I Am! And My trumpet will soon call out,
I formed the worlds with a whisper But Im getting ready, I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready to shout!

Its the name above all names, and we will declare it, we will declare it, oh, we will declare it!
Its the name above all names, and we will shout it to a dying world.

Go out and shout it from the rooftops,
Jesus bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 26th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for today.

We start the Book of Deuteronomy 1:33 in the Old Testament,

”…to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.”

Now we know very well the scripture in John 14:6. Jesus says:

”I am the way,…”

You might say that was for the old days. No, it’s not. Hebrews 13:8 says:

”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

I was preaching at an open-air meeting in Tennessee, the United States of America. My dear friend, Pastor Alan Jackson, had organised a meeting for us on his campus in the open. It was in summer and it was extremely hot. There were thousands of people there. We stood on the platform and I could see the people were literally wilting under the heat. There were clouds above us and I asked the Lord, not quietly in my heart but openly and loudly, on the mic so that everybody could hear, “Lord, please put that cloud over the sun, so that we can get some shade.” And what happened, the Lord put that cloud over the sun for the whole time of that meeting.

Now I can hear somebody saying, ”Oh, that was just a coincidence.” But the miracle was, there were other clouds on either side of that cloud and the wind was blowing and the clouds were moving except that one cloud. How can you explain that? Well, how can you explain a miracle? The Lord says to you today, my dear friend, you have to have the faith to believe Him for the impossible. In that desert that the children of Israel walked through, they say at night it went to sub-zero conditions, it was so cold, and yet there was a pillar of fire. Not only did it protect them, it kept them warm. During the day, there was a cloud that they followed but the cloud wasn’t just for direction but it was to keep the sun off the children of Israel because the temperature there goes up to 50 degrees sometimes.

Jesus wants to direct your ways. He wants to shelter you. He wants to protect you. Please call unto Him and He will undertake for you.

Have a wonderful day,
Jesus bless you and goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 25th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for today.

We start with the Book of Luke 6:46:

"But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do the things which I say?"

It is not about doing, it's about being. It's about a personal relationship with Jesus. We cannot earn our way to Heaven. If that was the case, people from other religions would get there long before us! In Isaiah 64:6, the Lord says all our righteousness is like filthy rags in the sight of God. That is quite a statement. I want to say to you this morning, dad, your son wants you to spend more time with him, he doesn't want what you can buy for him, he doesn't want all the fancy goodies that you can get him, he wants you, he wants to spend time with you. Mom, your daughter wants to spend time with you. It's not what you can do for her, but she wants to spend time with you because she loves you and she needs you. And so is it with Jesus Christ - He created us to have fellowship with Him. He doesn't need us, He wants us. Remember, the whole of creation took place with one word. He doesn't need any man, but He desires to have fellowship with us.

We really need to spend more time with the Lord every morning. We need to sit and talk with Him and let Him talk to us in our spirit. You say, "I can't hear Him." No, you can't hear Him because you are too busy doing things, maybe even for Him. So sit down, be quiet, and let's have fellowship together. "Let's have a cup of tea together," the Lord says.

So today, make a point to spend quality and quantity time with Jesus, and you will find everything else will start to fall into line.

God bless you richly and have a wonderful day with your personal Saviour,
Goodbye.
