God is Love

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 6th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to 1 John 4:16:

“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love (please remember that - God is love), and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”

God is love. People need love desperately, all people, in every walk of life! I am doing this programme particularly today to say thank you to every single person who has been praying for the event that we had in the Cape Flats in Cape Town, South Africa. I would like to thank you all over the world. We love you very, very much. Words cannot express how we appreciated your prayer cover when we went down to that very dangerous place, where very few people want to go, and we saw and experienced something that I have never experienced before in over 40 years of preaching the Gospel. I experienced the love of God like never before!
When we arrived in the Athlone Stadium, the first thing I asked for was to meet the intercessors, because as an evangelist I know that if there is no prayer there is no power. They took me into a room that was full of approximately 50 women who were interceding. They weren’t just interceding, they were travailing. Now if you don’t know what that word means - a woman who is having a child, in labour, she is travailing, and that is what they were doing - travailing for their people, for their families, their children, their husbands. I was so touched, I was overwhelmed, and I prayed for them and they prayed for me, and they loved me and they hugged me and kissed me, then they took me out to the stadium.
There was such desperation from the men. We were talking to men, it was a Mighty Men event, but I want to tell you, they were hanging on every word. These men are hungry for the love of God. Before I left home, my wife Jill said to me, “Just tell them, Angus, that God loves them.” And that’s all these men wanted to know. Young boys, 12, 13 years old, to older men, they were there in the thousands, and we thank God.

The Lord laid on my heart to commission them, like you commission someone into the army, and we called them into the front, we prayed the prayer of repentance, and then we prayed over them and
commissioned them. I said, “The Government can’t help you,” I said, “the army can’t help you,” I said, “the police can’t help you. The only people that can help you are yourselves and the power of the Holy Spirit.”

As we left, a young man ran up to me. I said, “Bring him.” I said, ‘What can I do for you, young man?” He said, “I just want a hug from you. I lost my dad, he died, I lost my grandfather a few days ago. You remind me of my grandfather.” And with that he said, “I just want a hug.” That’s all he wanted. I took him in my arms, we hugged each other, he wept, I wept and God did the rest.

I am believing for revival in the Cape Flats. Thank you for your love and your prayers.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
