Who is your Mentor?
Many people think that I am a loose cannon, a maverick preacher so to speak. But that could not be further from the truth.
Last week I hosted a meeting where my four Trustees were present. Our media team, my Pastor and most importantly my sons and daughters were present. Of course, my best friend on this earth was also seated next to me, my dear wife, Jill. The better part of the day was spent in prayer, seeking direction and getting counsel from the Holy Spirit. There was no thumb-sucking and hoping-for-the-best.
But through love, honesty (sometimes brutal), we sought the face of God - His direction and the way forward. We do not have time to go down dead-end roads because Jesus is coming back very soon!
Ultimately I can say, with the great Apostle Paul, that my Teacher for more than 41 years has been the Lord Jesus Christ, and Him alone.
“The Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
My dear friend, there is no substitute for spending lots of time in quiet with Jesus! It was in a quiet place that I received the revelation to start writing books, the first one being 'Faith like Potatoes'. It was also a directive from God to book stadiums and preach the Gospel throughout the World, and it was in a quiet place that I was instructed through the Holy Spirit to mentor men, hence the Mighty Men movement. It was on a lonely farm road that the 'It’s Time' prayer meetings were conceived.
After all is said and done the most wonderful counsellor, mentor, and dearest friend a person could ever call upon (and He’s waiting for you) is Jesus!
God bless,
Angus and Jill Buchan.
