I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 6th of June, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Numbers 11:16-17 in the Old Testament:

“So the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will put the same upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you may not bear it yourself alone.” 

You see, Moses was exhausted. There were a million people in the desert, they were hungry, they wanted food. He said to the Lord, “I can’t do this anymore on my own.” I want to say to some young aspiring businessman, some young lady who has a huge vision to help the poor, God will never give us a job to do that we cannot perform, and when it becomes too heavy for us, and the burden becomes too heavy, Jesus will send others to help you, but you and I have got to learn to delegate to others. You see, in the Kingdom of God, there are no one man shows. No, the Lord has purposely designed us so that others can help us. We can’t do it on our own. 

I remember the Mighty Men conferences on this farm. Do you know, we started off with 240 men and we ended up 7 years later, with 450,000 men, I can’t believe it myself, on this very farm. Then the Lord spoke to me, almost audibly, and He said that was the last one that was going to happen on this farm. That was in 2010. He said, “Take the baton and pass it on to the young men,” which I duly did. I wasn’t very popular, people said, “You are stopping the revival.” No, we are not stopping the revival, we are growing the revival, because every one of those young men took up the baton, and they have done the same thing. We have over 20 Mighty Men conferences happening in South Africa, alone, this year, and in Canada, and in Australia, all over the world. Why? Because we delegated. We have got to pass it along.

Jesus, Himself, in Mark 16:15, said to the disciples:

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel…”

He also delegated. If you don’t delegate, it will die with you. Please don’t do that. God wants to use you powerfully, but you must learn to share the burden. 

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,
Goodbye.
