Choices
Deuteronomy 10:12, Revelation 3:16, Joshua 24:15
Who are you serving? Are you serving man or are you serving God? God would rather that we be either red hot or ice cold, not lukewarm. Revelation 3:16. Deuteronomy 10:12. People are looking for those who will stand up for righteousness and what they believe no matter what. We need to make choices today. God is a holy God. Joshua 24:15.
No turning back
Luke 9:62, Hebrews 11:1, Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 7:7
Luke 9:62. As a farmer, Uncle Angus understands the principal of ploughing: you need to plough straight and deep. A farmer needs by faith, to put their plough into the ground and go forward. If he starts to doubt and look back to check, it will throw his direction off and effect the whole field. Jesus is telling us not to keep turning back. Hebrews 11:1, 6. Matthew 7:7.
Mindful of us
Psalm 8:4–6, Hebrews 13:5, Matthew 8:25
Are you feeling lonely or forgotten, like there is no hope left for you? Uncle Angus wants to encourage you today. Psalms 8:4-6. God has made you in His own image, He is mindful of you. Hebrews 13:5. The Lord says that He will never leave us nor forsake us, He will not leave us as orphans. Matthew 8:25.
Believed
John 4:50, 1 John 5:7, John 1:1, Romans 10:17
Please note that this video was filmed during the period of the corona virus in 2020/2021. We really need to build up our faith. John 4:50. 1 John 5:7. Jesus Christ is the Word. John 1:1. We need to believe the Word of the Lord and not the lies of the devil. Romans 10:17. If we spend time with the Word, our faith will grow.
Trust and obey
1 John 5:7, Isaiah 26:3
Who are we putting our trust in? If Jesus is not in control of our lives, then we are in trouble. 1 John 5:7. Jesus is the Word. Isaiah 26:3. If we will keep our eyes on Jesus, trusting in Him and hoping in Him, then He will give us His peace. We make mistakes when we don't obey God.
The voice of God
John 1:1, Matthew 11:28–30, Psalm 29:4
Have you heard the voice of God? Psalm 29:4. On the day that we audibly hear the voice of the Lord, it will be unforgettable. Our God said one word and and all of creation came into being. John 1;1 The voice of the Lord is powerful and full of majesty. Matthew 11:28-30.
Just believe
Romans 1:17, Hebrews 2:4, James 2:23
We need to have faith in Jesus Christ, not faith in faith. Romans 1:17. The hallmark in this ministry is faith in Jesus Christ. During the Reformation, it was realised that the just shall live by faith, and it revolutionised the church. We get to heaven by faith in Jesus Christ not by our good works. Hebrews 2:4. James 2:23.
Turn and live
Lamentations 3:33, John 3:16, Ezekiel 33:11
God came to give us life, and He will be with us until the end. The Lord does not want us to die and go to a lost eternity. Lamentations 3:33. John 3:16. God takes no pleasure in people dying in their sins, He wants us to turn back to Him and live. Ezekiel 33:11. Please note that this video was filmed during the period of the corona virus in 2020/2021.
Chosen
John 15:16, Matthew 4:19
John 15:16. God chase us, He hand picked us. Matthew 4:19. It's not about our ability. When He chooses us, then He has a purpose for us, this comes with both privilege and responsibility. If we feel we have messed up in our purpose then there is still hope, we can turn to Him today, dust ourselves off and go forward in obedience.
Don't argue with God
Isaiah 45:9, Ephesians 2:10, Isaiah 64:8
Please note that this video was filmed during the period of the corona virus in 2020/2021. Isaiah 45:9; Isaiah 64:8. Ephesians 2:10. We are not to contend with God. He is our Creator, He is in heaven and we are here on earth. Sometimes we are fighting with the very One who can help us. When we argue with God, we are actually doubting Him and we are being quite arrogant.
Ambassadors
2 Corinthians 5:20
If Jesus came back today, would He recognise you? As Christians, we need to stand up, in love, and be counted. 2 Corinthians 5:20. We are ambassadors for Christ as though Christ is pleading through us. No matter what our is career we are able to represent Christ to others.
My food
John 4:34
Please note that this video was filmed during the period of the corona virus in 2020/2021. In John 4:34, Jesus says: "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work". So too, our "food" here on earth is to do the will of God. We don't need to be a preacher or a minister, we can do God's will right where we are, we can reach out to people and tell them about Jesus.
Know Him
Job 19:25, Philippians 4:6
In these troubling times of war, disease, hardships, loneliness and heartache, it can be easy to lose hope. Job 19:25: "For I know that my redeemer liveth". Job was a man that faced many hardships, he lost everything, yet he could still say that his redeemer lives. Philippians 4:6. We need to know our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will be able to stand and face the things that we have to face, no matter how hard they are.
