MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

It is natural to give God thanks in good times, but scripture exhorts us to "count it all joy when we fall into divers temptations; Knowing  this , that the trying of our faith worketh patience. But let patience have  i ts  perfect work, that we may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing" (James 1:2-4). Praising God amid our trials, frustrations, and adverse conditions contradicts our carnal natur...

Current events draw our attention to Israel and its battles against its Muslim neighbors. We watch the fulfillment of prophecy on our nightly newscasts, yet Brother Singh reminds us that we cannot understand prophecy in advance. God's fulfillment always carries a surprise element. However, we have enough scripture to know that the world is under God's judgment. Tonight's lesson underscores our sov...

This message reflects the wisdom of a preacher who loves his Bible and knows how to apply scripture in every situation. Extemporaneous preaching allows Brother Singh to respond to testimonies immediately, providing an object lesson as led by the Holy Spirit. Quoting King David, who experienced much adversity, he said: I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall  continually  be  in my mou...

Occasionally, God miraculously intervenes in our lives, showing His tender care and mercy for each of us. Sister Nadine and Brother Singh's personal testimonies are powerful examples of His direct intervention, offering hope in moments of despair and saving lives from harm or death. In the lives of God's elect, there are no such things as coincidences, only 'God incidents' that reveal His love and...

As conversion is a continuously progressive process, our commitment and dedication to the Lord are also gradually cumulative. Consequently, we sing choruses and make statements about belonging to Jesus in the future progressive tense. In other words, only a portion of our life is committed wholly to the Lord, while a much more significant portion is consumed with self-care and personal ambitions....

It is paramount that the Spirit of God permeates every worship service. His Spirit can reach you in the quiet of your seat and transform your life. Fleshly exuberance and emotionalism ought not to characterize worship, for such displays can lead to demonic influences. Instead, let us be open to worshipping God in Spirit and truth (John 4:24). The presence of the Holy Spirit produces tranquility, b...

Our elders reminded us that we attend church services to worship our heavenly Father. His Spirit is in our midst. Although we live in a world of ingratitude and indifference, we strive to set aside our cares and concerns because we know "He who is holy inhabits the praises of His people." Knowing something involves conviction, personal experience, and intimacy.

A God-called minister needs his wife's support to be effective. Solomon wrote, "Who can find a virtuous woman? Her price is far above rubies! The heart of her husband safely trusts in her so that he will not need to spoil her. Such a woman, rare and precious, is our minister's wife. She will do him good and not evil, a commitment she upholds all the days of her life, a testament to he...

"God makes demands of us. When He does something for us, He expects something in return." Brother Singh shared this truth with a young woman who stopped by his house and asked for prayer. She lives in the neighborhood, and yesterday was their third encounter, a significant milestone in her faith journey. The second was in 2019 when, while riding her bike, she stopped to tell our Pastor a...

Our Pastor meticulously guards against presenting messages motivated by worldly trends, philosophy, or theology. Jesus said, "In vain they do worship me, teaching  for doctrines the commandments of men' (Matthew 15:9). Like the Samarian women Jesus met at the well, billions of people worship "what they do not know."

Watering our Pastor's excellent teaching on Worship, Saturday evening, Brother Sam reminded us, |God is a Spirit. His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and truth" (John 4:24). He also reminded the congregation that the church must measure up to God's standard, not ours (See Revelation 11:1). He said, "Worship is not coming here to sing some songs, make some noise and go back...

It was a special blessing that Brother and Sister Finnicum visited Gospel Assembly Mississauga on Wednesday evening. They are establishing a work in Hondas, and we pray that the Lord will lead and protect them in his abundant love. Their immediate and extended family added seventeen saints, nearly doubling our average mid-week attendance. Visiting from Virginia and Florida, it was a pleasure to we...

A family needs to meet occasionally to discuss the functionality of the home. Dad usually discusses participation in and contribution to the family's unity and cohesiveness. When a family member neglects their responsibility, the Dad must demonstrate leadership by admonishing us that everyone shoulders their fair share.

Sixty-six years ago, Brother John accepted Jesus in his native Jamaica. Although he became an internationally acclaimed runner, God steadfastly fixed his heart on the faithful service of our Lord. He testifies of having "a treasure in his earthen vessel, that the excellency of the power may be of God, not of himself. Life has been challenging for him. He is troubled on every side, yet not dis...

The men God calls to His ministry often labor in obscurity, with little tangible evidence that their work pleases God. Contrary to the world's impression of success, with mega-churches, private jets, and extravagance, the Mississauga Assembly is Smyrna-like. (See Revelation 2:8-11). Messages of appreciation from churches like the one received this morning from Cape Town, South Africa, buoy Bro...

Brother Sam measures the current conditions in our communities and country against Biblical standards. "This also know that in the last days, perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy..." (2 Timothy 3:1-2). Although he alluded to the lesson Brother Singh brought on the Third Sheph...

Brother Singh has recently received some beautiful testimonies from saints in other nations whose lives are profoundly being transformed by the messages he preaches. (We use the present perfect tense of the verb transform to indicate an ongoing process). These followers testify of the power of God's word and the hope it brings us all as they surrender our will to pursue His righteousness.

Brother Singh invites us to bask in the measureless love of our God. The composer of the magnificent hymn, 'The Love of God,' Frederick M Lehman (1868-1953), wrote with divine inspiration. The first line lines: "The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell."

A proper understanding of scripture is essential to our growth. For instance, if we misinterpret the word "blessing" and pursue the wrong concept of Jesus, the result could curse us. Jesus said, "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake" (Matthew 5:11). That is not what the prosperity gospel t...

We thanked God for our special sister in Christ, Melany, in tonight's service. Melany is a disabled saint but arguably the most faithful in our assembly. She has faithfully attended each service available for more than five years now and lamented when complications due to COVID restrictions prevented her from doing so. She is a beloved member of our congregation and greatly enriches our lives.

James, Jesus's brother, is a figure of remarkable faith. Despite the family's initial opposition to Jesus' ministry(John 7:5), he eventually became a committed Jewish convert to our Lord. This transformation is particularly significant in the cultural context of the time, as the Jews were stubbornly committed to their religious traditions. When Jesus preached a strong message telling p...

Brother Singh's impactful visit, the final service of his whirlwind tour to three assemblies in the Greater New York City area, culminated with a powerful gathering in Elmont, NY. Building on Brother Richard's expose on Romans 12, Brother Singh stressed that the Apostle Paul "beseeched" {begged, pled with} the brethren at Rome, "by the mercies of God, that ye present your bo...

Brother Singh believes that if we preach the word of God and truth and are the salt in our community, there will be problems around us, but God will spare His people. Addressing the saints in the Westbury Assembly On Saturday, August 17th, Brother Singh explained that extreme weather struck Mississauga and Toronto earlier today. Substantial flooding occurred within a mile of the church property an...

Preaching to the Haitian Saints in Brother Mose's church, Brother Singh said, "My intention is not to excite or entertain you but to give you a word from the Lord to change you. Change does not mean you will become like me. Instead, you must change to become like Jesus.

Tonight, Brother Singh returns our attention to the Book of Revelation for our encouragement. We live in the period Jesus referred to in Matthew 24 as the "Beginning of Sorrows." The final battle between light and darkness, between good and evil, is being waged before our very eyes. Now, more than ever, it is essential that our hope is fixed solely on "the author and finisher of our...
