By Faith Only
I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 20th of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
We start in the Book of Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Then we go down to verse 6:
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Folks, I want to tell you, Abraham was a very wealthy man, he left everything, by faith, and went to an unknown destination. Now, that takes faith. But if we go to James 2:23, the scripture says that
“Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
If you want to please God, we need to walk by faith and not by sight. We need to believe in things that we cannot see but we need to trust the word of God and nothing else.
A man phoned me the other day. He was so sad - his brother had just lost his whole crop for the whole year. A hailstorm came through and destroyed his avocado pears and his maize crop. The young man is devastated. I want to say to you, if you are listening to this message, young man, I do really understand. I have been there, not once but many times, but one thing that will come out of this, if you allow the Lord to take full control, your faith will grow. That’s how faith grows. Faith grows when we walk the talk and we stand by faith. “Even though He slay me”, another farmer said, “yet will I still trust Him.” You will find that in Job 13:15.
I have got something I put up on the wall in my prayer room. I have stuck it on the wall with Prestik because it is important to me. This is what I have written: “From start to finish by faith, not by effort, not by good works, but by faith.”
"It is through faith that a righteous person has life.” Romans 1:17.
Mark 11:22: “Have faith in God.”
Aim higher, go further, trust more and the mountain must move, and let there be no doubt in what you are doing, and Jesus Christ will do the rest in your life.
Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
