MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

Aging brings many physical discomforts. If it were not for faith, we could quickly become discouraged as the conclusion of our lives draws near.  Solomon wrote: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them” (Ecclesiastes 12:1). He called old age “the evil days.”  Tonight’s service focused on...

Modern Christianity tends to measure success by the numbers who hear their version of the gospel. This trend is inconsistent with scripture. Jesus was very particular about who received his gospel. His ministry was confined to those given to him by His Father. Likewise, Brother Singh’s gospel is a precious message meant to reach the elect. We who have found life and truth in it must treasure it. “...

Our assembly has taken three years to return to a typical Saturday evening service after the pestilence labeled 19. The praise and worship was vibrant. Testimonies from Sister Polly, Brother Joe, and Sister Chan demonstrated the faith, hope, and endurance of taught people. Brother John delivered brief, challenging encouragement to saints from the word of God and recent lessons. We may live in peri...

The Apostle Paul warned that the church would encounter ‘perilous times.’ He could not have envisioned it would be 2023! Compared to the enthusiasm of saints when Brother Singh first arrived in Canada 43 years ago, our love for God has severely diminished. Paul wrote: “For men shall be lovers of their own selves ... having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…” (2 Timothy 3:1-5).  Th...

The musical portion of our service today was devoted to songs of dedication. Worship is offered to give glory and praise to our heavenly Father.  Conversely, dedication implores God to help us serve Him better by infilling us with His Spirit. As elect children, we are still in the process of being converted. We may have come far from being blatantly lost sinners, but we are by no means perfected....

We are living in the last of the last days, Brother Sam emphasizes. Society has dramatically changed in our lifetime, and so has the church. Deception abounds! The perilous times' Paul warned about in 2 Timothy 3 are being lived in 2023. Unless parents make the principles of God the core of family life, our children are exposed daily to modern philosophies that undermine divine authority. Wate...

The Scribes and Pharisees demanded to know why the disciples of Jesus broke the tradition of the elders by not washing their hands before eating.’ This simple incident reveals a lot about the religion we practice. TRADITIONS are essentially man-made rules concerning how to dress and act in church. Traditions focus on outward appearances, whereas TRUTH focuses on heart matters. To some, this may se...

The saints of Gospel Assembly church, Mississauga, were privileged to have the saints in Vasai, India join us for communion service this Easter. One of the positive aspects of modern technology is sharing the gospel worldwide via the Internet.  Although the two cities have a 9.5-hour time difference, they scheduled their service to coincide with ours.  Brother and Sister Singh have visited the Vas...

Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples: “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and {broke} it, and gave unto them, saying, this is my body which is given for you: do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). That last meal together was essential to Jesus. He was their pastor and teacher—they were his little flock. Jesus stressed, “I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I s...

Greeting the saints and ministers gathered at Brother Moses's church, (Norwalk, Connecticut) Brother Desmond Singh emphasized that we live in bad times. He said, "I find it uncomfortable to quote 2 Chronicles 7:14, "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways…" Because ministers and saints are so full of k...

Encouraging the saints and ministers gathered at Brother Narain Richard's assembly, Brother Desmond Singh explained that although we enter our services carnally, WORSHIP allows us to focus solely on God. Our emphasis should be an expression like: "Thou are my strength O Lord, my heart trusteth in You!" Present your participation in the opening song as a personal offering of adoration...

Ironically, God uses human tendencies to distinguish His elect from the religious crowd.  The Jewish establishment rejected Jesus, the prophets, and the apostles due to prejudice. Despite our so-called sophistication today, human nature has not changed. John the Baptist received his training in the wilderness and wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food...

Brother Desmond Singh exposes his heart in this message, pleading with his congregation to rededicate themselves. We live in an unprecedented period of human history. Jesus said regarding these days: “Then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:21). The man of God addresses both the local church and those who fo...

Watering Brother Singh’s lesson from Wednesday, Brother John Mowat gave an in-depth review of Romans Chapter One. He emphasized that Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, was called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God. Just as Jesus personally called Peter and Andrew, and the other disciples, so too was Paul. After establishing his authority, Paul addressed his letter to those called to b...

It is noteworthy that Paul did not start the church in Rome. The longest of Paul’s epistles was addressed to the believers there, whom Paul hoped to visit, “that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end, ye may be established” (Romans 1:11). As we have learned from our studies of the Ephesian church, assemblies must be built on the proper foundation under the anointing of the Holy Spi...

All the New Testament churches founded by the Apostle Paul initially followed him faithfully. But in time, peoples’ fickleness set in, and people became attracted to “other gospels” that compromised the word of God. Writing to the churches of Galatia, he said, “Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins that he might deliver us from...

Watering Wednesday’s lesson ‘Foundations Examined,’ Brother Sam explained that when God calls us to truth, the elect follows in faith, as did Peter and Andrew (Matthew 4:18-19). They were the only two disciples of John who left his movement to follow Jesus. Similarly, every elected child will be called out of religion to be part of the current move of God.  Arguing doctrine with someone whose mind...

Brother Singh welcomes questions from saints living overseas. One such question concerns the church that Jesus started; the one launched at Pentecost, and that church today. In that regard, let us understand that the purpose of the church was to prepare people for God’s coming kingdom.  We must understand that none of the epistles or the words of the prophets were written for us in the 21st C...

Because God never errors in judgment, nothing can happen to the elect that God has not ordained. It may sometimes seem that our heavenly Father punishes his children while the ungodly prosper and enjoy life. Yet, such a perspective is nearsighted. Asaph wrote: “As for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well-nigh slipped, for I was envious at the foolish when I saw the prosperity of the wic...

Brother John Mowat recounts the influence of his Godly mother, who helped shape his early childhood life. Then, watering Wednesday’s lesson, “IF BY ANY MEANS,” our most senior elder beseeched the assembly “not to receive the grace of God in vain” (2 Corinthians 6:1). We receive “meat in due season,” meaning timely messages from the throne of God, via our Pastor’s lips, words necessary to save us i...

As we age, we become conscious of the brevity of our remaining time. That awareness should compel us to do everything humanly possible to ensure we are prepared for death. No matter what calling a person has on their life, their primary calling is to attain the resurrection of life. A mere four years before his death, the Apostle Paul said, “If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of...

Some ministers will not endure the hardship of the apostles and prophets.  Even though called by God to preach, because things were difficult, these men succumbed “to eating and drinking with the drunken.”  (Mt. 24:28) They are intoxicated with the wine of the ‘Harlot’s’ fornication (Rev 17:2). This is the false church posing as Christ’s church. John’s vision saw: “upon her forehead was...

Genesis records, “And it came to pass when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair, and they took them wives of all which they chose (Genesis 6:1). The Bible is vague about the specifics of these verses. Were the sons of God the righteous line that descended from Adam? Or, where they are th...

The Apostle John wrote, “Beloved, believe NOT every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). God’s people ought not to be gullible.  God must touch our eyes and ears to receive the truth (Matthew 13:16). The Pharisees, though learned in the scriptures, still rejected Jesus. The men of Berea were counted as “nob...

The words to the beautiful course, “YOU TOUCHED MY EYES,” are based on Matthew 13:13 & 16:  Jesus said, “I speak to them {the religious elite} in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.” Most people in religion proclaim that Jesus is Lord, yet at a superficial level...
