Thought For Today

Riot or Revival


Listen Later

I greet you in Jesus’ name! It is Sunday morning, the 10th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Book of Acts 17:6:

“…These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.”

Folks, wherever the Holy Spirit moves, wherever the presence of God is, there is either a riot or a revival! That’s what I’ve experienced in my life, and we must be prepared for it and not be afraid of it, because the Bible tells us clearly in Romans 8:31 that if Christ is for us, then who can be against us? 

For many years, I was on the other team. I was the one who was trying to make a way for myself. I was the one who was always negative, and these guys that are over the top, I had no time for them, but you know when God touched me, He turned my life upside down, inside out, and I can tell you today that wherever I am with the Lord, He is there before me and I am ready for whatever happens.

Just the other day, we had a prayer meeting. When I arrived, I saw two strange men there, fine-looking young men, and I said, ”Welcome to our prayer meeting. Where have you come from?” They said, ”We’ve come from the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal.” I said, ”What time did you get up this morning to come to the meeting?” They said, ”Quarter to three in the morning.” They want to hear from God. They want to receive from the Lord and that is good news! Do not be surprised when you see things happening that you actually had nothing to do with because God does it.

God sent Paul and Silas to preach the Gospel and what happened? Well, absolute chaos and absolute Holy Spirit power, and I want to say to you today that you and I need to be ready for whatever the Lord has got in store for us because I can tell you right now it will not be like it was before. We are living in the last days and the Lord is moving very powerfully. We don’t have to make things happen, not at all. All we have to do is be available, open our mouths and tell people about Jesus. That’s all that Paul and Silas did and they were accused of turning the world upside down. Of course, they were quite right, weren’t they? Because that’s exactly what is happening now.

Jesus bless you today as you turn the world upside down simply by telling people who the Son of God is. He is the soon-coming Saviour of the world.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. 
Goodbye.
