Get Ready
I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 6th of October, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
We go to the Book of Judges 13:7:
”And He said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or similar drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.”
This is now the wife of Manoah, and Manoah was the father of one of the strongest men that ever lived by the name of Samson, but you see they couldn’t have a baby, but the Angel of the Lord came and told Manoah’s wife, ”Get ready.”
Then we go to Matthew 7:7, a very well-known scripture:
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
The Lord is telling you and me to get ready to receive your gift from the Lord. You say, “What gift is that?” Well, maybe you also, like Manoah’s wife, just could not conceive. I am going to pray for you at the end of this message that you will receive that gift from God, a baby. Maybe it is a business opportunity. You have been waiting for so many years. The door never opens, you just don’t quite get it. It is coming, I am telling you, it is coming, a business opportunity.
What about a wife? Many men write to me and say, “I am looking for a wife. I am lonely.” Today, we are going to pray that God will get you ready. I want to say something to the men now. There is a young man listening to this message, you are not getting ready, you are out of shape. I am sorry, I am being honest with you because I love you. Why? Because you don’t train. You don’t eat properly, you don’t look after yourself. Get yourself ready because the girl is coming! What about that young lady? She has been waiting for a husband for how long? Get yourself ready and I am telling you, the man’s on his way.
Do you know what happened to me? I came into my prayer room early this morning. It has been very cold on the farm. I have got a little fire that I make every day when it is cold, to warm myself. And I made a fire this morning, and it went out. So what must I do? I must remake it which I did do and it is roaring as I talk to you now. Do not give up! Some of you have given up. Remember, Manoah’s wife was barren, she couldn’t have a child. Pray this after me:
Heavenly Father,
First of all, I want to say sorry. I have not been getting myself prepared and ready for the gift that is on its way. Today, I make a promise to You that I will get myself ready physically, spiritually and mentally to receive the gift that is coming. And when I receive it I will tell the world that Jesus Christ has answered my prayers. I pray this in Your precious name, amen.
God bless you and have a wonderful, expectant day!
Goodbye.
