Abide

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 27th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day.

We go straight to the Gospel of John 15:7:

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.”

Wow! Now that’s powerful. Think about that. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to find out the literal meaning of the word, “abide”. It means to accept or obey a rule or decision. So if you obey the word of God, if you as a believer do what God has called you to do, and when you go out and about, His word remains in your heart during the day, during the night, when you are about to write an examination, when you are going to start a new job, when you are endeavouring to do something you have never done before, if you keep the Word of God in your heart, He says what you desire shall be done for you. Now, that is massive.

As I walked into my prayer room early this morning, there was a message for me, and the message came all the way from Northern Ireland, from one of my spiritual sons, and he said, “Dad, Angus, I have just watched the movie, Faith Like Potatoes, and I want to encourage you and thank you for it because of what it means to me.” 

Now, as a young boy, my desire was to get the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the furthest points of Planet Earth, and I want to sit here and tell you in my little prayer room, that that desire of my heart is actually coming to pass in front of my very eyes and I have nothing to do with it. I just asked the Lord, many, many years ago, “Lord, I want you to use me to send the Word to the furthest points of the planet Earth, and He is doing it.

Today, if you keep the Word of God close to your heart and you stay close to Him, then you are going to ask correctly, and He is going to answer you. 

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
