I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 24th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Zachariah 4:6:

“Not by might nor by power, but by My (Holy) Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.“ 

Then we go to the Book of Acts 1:8. This is Jesus speaking:

”But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 

What a commission! Now we must think about this. A hundred and twenty ordinary people, and they are hiding in the upper room because they are afraid they are going to be murdered, there is no accomplished theologian amongst them, there is no multi-millionaire amongst them. They are ordinary people, women and men, working people who go about their daily chores. The Holy Spirit comes into the room and changes their lives forever. 

I want to suggest something to you. This is not a man’s idea. This is not a spreadsheet you put out on a table and say, ”OK, now this is how we’re going to do it. We’ll go here if we can afford it…” No, they had no game plan. It was a God idea. A hundred and twenty people, that’s all, and He said, ”Go into all the world.” And the Bible tells us they turned the world upside down. There were no cell phones. There were no iPads. There were no computers, nothing! They just went in faith by the power of the Holy Spirit and they turned the world upside down, from Caesar’s palace right down to the man in the street, and they went all over the world. Thomas went to India and he was speared to death as a martyr. Andrew, James, John eventually, every one of them died a martyr's death. They paid the full price and I think that’s maybe where the secret is. 

The Lord is looking for a man or a woman who is prepared to obey the Holy Spirit, whatever He tells you. Maybe you’re sitting in an old age home. You say, ”Angus, what can I do? I can’t even walk anymore.” I tell you what you can do. You can do the most important job. Praying. Remember when men work, they work, but when men pray, God works, and God worked through these hundred and twenty ordinary people who went right around the globe to the ends of the earth. That’s what the Lord said.

I want to challenge you today, come on, we don’t have much time left. Jesus is on His way. He’s coming back, I’m telling you now. We need to work while it’s still day because the night is coming when we can’t work anymore. Let us stand up. Let us brush off all that dust and let us get back into the fight.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful, Holy Spirit-filled day.
Goodbye
