I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 11th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day.

We start off in the Book of Genesis 1:11-13:

“Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. (That is oranges, making oranges, apples making apples - fruit trees, that’s right!) And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day.”

Then we go to the Book of Hebrews 6:7:

”For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; ...” 

The seed, we can’t live without the seed germinating because that is what makes the food, young man, young lady, that you eat every morning for your breakfast. You know what they say - “Never criticise a farmer with your mouth full because if he doesn’t produce the food, we do not eat, and if we don’t eat, we die!” Of course, the farmer does not actually produce the food. God does. The farmer simply cultivates it. 

Over the last few weeks, I have had some incredible testimonies coming in from some of the driest areas in Southern Africa. People in tears, when they are sending me photos of a miracle, areas where there has been not one drop of rain for 4 years, and now it looks like the Garden of Eden. But I can hear some farmers saying, “But Angus, we are getting drowned out in our area.” Oh, I understand sir, only too well. I remember Domoina like yesterday, where the area in Greytown was cut off from civilisation. For 3 or 4 days we couldn’t get out because of the floods, but I want to tell you something now, the floods will cease and the sun will shine and the rain will come and the seed will germinate.

I have grown seed for over forty years and I want to tell you, there is nothing more beautiful than seeing that beautiful seed being harvested and pouring into the back of my old truck so I could take it to the factory. Today, be grateful when you eat your food young boy, young girl and thank God that you have got food to eat and pray for those who don’t. But remember the seed of the martyrs of the church, some of them never lived to see the fruit of their labours, but they will see it in Heaven.

Jesus bless you and goodbye.
