I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Monday morning, the 15th of September, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Gospel of Luke 21:28. Jesus says:

”Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Then we go to Revelation 1:7:

”Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.”

This morning, the Lord says to you and me, “Lift up your heads because I am coming back and I’m coming back very soon.” The signs are all around us, folks. How much more terrible must it become on this earth before the Lord returns? He has promised us He’s coming. He goes on to say in verse 29. He says:

”Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.”

In South Africa, summer is near. Outside the window of my little prayer room, I have a beautiful fig tree that my young daughter gave me a couple of years ago as a gift. We have planted it. I want to tell you, it is budding. What is it telling me? It’s telling me that summer is coming. Now the Lord says, when you see all these terrible things happening on the earth, be prepared for My second coming because these are the signs that I’m coming back for my people.

All those young mothers will tell you that when they are pregnant for the first time and dad is so excited and waiting for their first baby to be born, they have everything ready. Everything is in place. They’ve got the room prepared. They’ve got the cot, the special blankets, the special colours. I don’t know whether it’s blue or pink, it doesn’t matter, but I want to tell you one thing, when that baby says, ”I’m coming”, you'd better be ready because that baby is coming irrespective of what you say. That is how it is with the Lord. He’s coming in the clouds. We must be ready. Prepare yourselves, prepare your hearts, prepare your children, prepare your family, prepare your friends. Tell them, Jesus is on His way.

God bless you and have a wonderful day as you lift up your heads and wait because He’s coming in the clouds, and we can’t wait for that day!

Have a lovely day,
Jesus bless you and goodbye.
