MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

If we read the instruction manual for our motor vehicles, in the same manner some do our Bibles, many of us would put oil in the radiator and transmission fluid in the brake cylinder. Ignoring good instruction always results in catastrophic mistakes. And, because we do not read God's instruction manual, many of us are easily deceived and live in bondage with no hope of deliverance. Consequently, t...

Watering the message on "Attributes of the Holy Spirit" (6-29-22), Brother Sam emphasized that when Jesus ascended to his Father, he did not leave us comfortless! Jesus said: "I will pray {that} the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive" (John 14:16-17). The empowerment of God's Spirit enables us...

The devil has successfully counterfeited everything God has done. When we sing a course like, "Jesus Fill Me with Your Spirit," demons welcome the opportunity to fulfill the experience we seek. Therefore, we must receive Godly instruction and avoid emotionalism in worship. Brother Singh coined the term "GENUINE FAKE" to describe the hyper experience many Pentecostals believe is an encounter with t...

The Corona-pestilence continues to linger in our nations. So, if the Body of Christ continues to do the things we have always done, we will continue to receive the judgments of God, as He has always done. We cannot afford to rejoice in iniquity! Israel repeatedly made that mistake, and we are not exempt. The mere participation in worship services that God has not ordained is iniquity. And rebellio...

Brother John assures us that we stand on a steadfast hope despite the chaos and spiritual darkness manifested as the norm in modern society. We look forward to the return of Jesus. God is fully aware of our trials and struggles, yet at the appointed time, our Lord shall appear. Meanwhile, "there must be a people ready to meet Him." We are blessed to be led by a ministry, anointed by God, to give u...

David's Psalms expressed an authentic relationship between a man and Almighty God. David was "a man after mine God's heart," we read in Acts 13:22, yet few of us understand exactly why. The answer is found in the same verse: "which shall fulfill all {My} will." And that is the ultimate goal of the elect—to fulfill God's will. In this remarkable Wednesday night lesson, Brother Singh helps us grasp...

Historically, "Come out of her, my people" is used as a mantra to set our fellowship apart from apostate religion. God's people are not to be "partakers of {Babylon's} sins so that we do not receive her plagues." (Revelation 18:4) Yet COVID-19 did not discriminate between the godly and the ungodly. Everyone was judged. Undoubtedly, we have misinterpreted the scripture and used it to pass judgment...

No amount of persuasion is adequate if we fail to hear the word of God with our hearts and implement it into our daily lifestyle. In many ways, the Christian life is like planting a garden. However, a bountiful yield depends upon the investment of our time, labor, and love spent on our knees. A gardener who remains on his porch admiring the plot allocated for growth will only see the infiltration...

Matthew 24 cautions us to be on guard and not lose focus. Jesus warned, "Take heed that no man deceives you." As the days of Noe were, so shall the coming of the Son of man be.” Life continued as normal, “until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so, shall also the coming of the Son of man be." (Matt. 36-39) Spiritual blindness caused t...

A lady visited our Saturday evening service intending to instruct our congregation that accepting COVID vaccinations amounts to receiving the 'mark of the beast.' She sincerely believes God called her to preach such a message. Sadly, though well-intentioned, the lady lacks spiritual stability and is "tossed to and fro, being carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men." She is...

The world offers many attractive ways to spend a Saturday evening, yet a remnant of faithful saints choose to spend it worshipping their heavenly Father. Many facilities bear the label of being Christ's church. That was the situation 2000 years ago too. The Pharisees, Sadducees, and the Essenes all claimed to be the true church, but God worked in only one place. But to join the movement approved b...

Present truth offends some, but we must not be afraid to declare it, "for God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God" (2Timothy 1:7-8). We mustn't be ashamed of 1) Jesus and 2) His anoi...

Timothy studied Paul's messages. He absorbed their essence into his thinking and incorporated them into his lifestyle. The lessons were appropriate for God's elect of that day in that culture. Unfortunately, many uncalled preachers wrongly divide the word of truth, leading people to damnation. So, Paul warned him to "shun profane and vain babblings: {errant preaching that deviated from his message...

Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness ...Therefore, will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.” (Ezekiel 28:17-18) Perverted ambition to attain a station higher than God intends will destroy us. Let us never allo...

Iniquity is not found in the tavern, brothel, or pagan religion! It is found exclusively in Christ's church. Yet God's people seem oblivious to the dangers and resentful of any warnings against it. Iniquity was the cause of God sending the prophets, yet they were rejected and killed by God's people for preaching against the practice. Even today, a few prophets may exist amongst us, and how we resp...

While it is essential to be informed, let us not contaminate ourselves with negativity. King David wrote, “Blessed {spiritually prosperous} is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful” (Psalm 1:1). Yet, every news channel connects us with the very people David warned we should avoid. Distractions are so perv...

Watering our Wednesday lesson, Brother Sam stressed that Hannah pressed God for an answer to her problem. He reminds us that God's promises are not automatic but are granted "to them who by patient continuance in well-doing SEEK for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life." Moreover, there are qualifications required to enter the Kingdom of God. "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not in...

It takes stormy waters to build skilled sailors! God planned that Hannah would be the mother of Samuel, one of the most outstanding judges in Israel. Yet, she had to endure a process to prepare her for that honor without knowing God's will or purpose. Elkanah loved Hannah: "but the LORD had shut up her womb."(1 Samuel 1:4)  Every elect child of God faces trials and tribulations. Like Israel's...

It is a privilege to share a celebration of a 90th birthday with a faithful saint of God. She is one person who, "Let not mercy and truth forsake her, but bound them about her neck. So sister Phillips wrote them upon the table of thine heart" (Proverbs 3:3). She has set an excellent example for her family and the saints of God. Therefore,  beloved brothers & sisters, be steadfast, immovab...

Notice Jesus’ caution: "Take heed that no man deceives you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." (Matthew 24:4-5). Let's clearly understand this statement. Jesus warned that many would come in his name preaching him as the Christ, yet they will deceive many! Religious deception is rampant. God is not the author of confusion! Brother Singh reminds us that Go...

Has Gospel Assembly, as a fellowship, become a 21st Century Pharisee movement? The question is blunt, but Jesus asked a similar sobering question about his return: "When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8) Our Lord spoke a parable (of the poor women petitioning the judge) "unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others." (v....

A pastor's primary role is perfecting the saints: changing or converting our nature from carnality to spiritual. (Romans 8:7). It can be torturous labor, for we do not change easily! Yet if transformation were not possible, there would be no references in scripture to the term 'overcoming.' So, the God-called ministry leads us "who by patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory and honor and...

Brother Sam watered the lesson entitled Ephesians 5. "be followers of God, as dear children; walking in love." Although the instruction appears to be straightforward, it is how we follow God that matters. "Following" is not a random commitment based on feelings but instead is an understanding and commitment to discipleship. It involves enlightenment, wherein God has opened our ears and ears to rec...

If the Apostle Paul were to write an epistle to the saints of Mississauga today, he would tell us we need salvation from the ungodly practices of the city. He would include sports, fashion, entertainment, and many other things God's people enjoy, including pagan festivities labeled as cultural events. Like the early Christians in Rome, pagan activities and traditions contaminate us. Yet, we may no...

We cannot presume that God is with us if we walk contrary to His lifestyle. Therefore, whenever the Israelites walked contrary to God, He sent a prophet to warn them of pending judgment. "Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itse...
