I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 1st of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in 1 Samuel 17:45

”Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you.”

What a powerful scripture! 

Then we go straight to 2 Corinthians 10:4-5:

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,” 

What an incredible scripture!

Today, we are on our way to war. Yes, we are. We are going down to Cape Town, the southernmost city in our beloved country of South Africa. A most beautiful place, but there is a war going on in the Cape Flats as I speak to you. We are going to assist. We are going to support. We are going into the fight, and we are going to take satan’s head off, just like David took the head of Goliath off, and we are not going with firearms. No, we are going with the word of God. 

Even as the young boy David said to the giant, ”You come against me with spears and swords. I come against you with the name of the Lord God of Israel.” It is going to be a most wonderful day of victory. I cannot wait. In fact, the victory is already there. We are just going to join up with God’s men in the Athlone Stadium in the Cape Flats. Please, gentlemen, if you are not planning to come, come along, because you will see something you will never, ever forget as long as you live, and one day you will sit with your grandchild on your lap and that child will ask you, ”Were you there, grandad?” I hope you will be able to say, ”Yes indeed, I was there, the day that the Lord Jesus Christ came down in fire and authority and defeated the devil once and for all!”

Please pray for us. 
God bless you and goodbye.
