MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

We live in an angry and hostile world! Yet, as the elect of God, we may be over-confident that we know what God is doing—that we understand His will. But do we? The Russian war against Ukrainian gives us grave pause. War is abhorrent to us. The indiscriminate killing of women and children, the suffering of the helpless and elderly, the destruction of homes, schools, and hospitals sickens us. It is...

It is in the controlled environment of the Body of Christ that overcomers are developed. Therefore, the church must meet the standards of God—not the standards of men. The Apostle John wrote concerning his vision: "And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein." (Revelation 11:1) The ree...

"He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, exhortation, and comfort." (1 Cor. 14:3) As war ravages the people of Ukraine, Brother Sam edified God's people tonight to instill peace, encouragement, and comfort from the scriptures. He urged us to stay connected to the vine. "As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." (Jo...

While conversion (or sanctification) is a lifelong process, it should be incrementally progressive and continuous. If no progress is measurable over time, it raises legitimate questions about one's "quickening" (Ephesians 2:1). Brother Desmond Singh asserts if we could live Roman's 12, we could essentially live an overcomer's life. Writing about our two natures (honorable and dishonorable), the ap...

"Every person deserves a fighting chance!" Brother Singh does not care about your ethnicity or religion; whether you graduated from Yale or jail, his heart is open to anyone who needs help. He is simply one beggar showing other beggars when to find bread. Because of his openness to people—and their struggles—his witness is genuine and effective. Our lifestyle as Christians should reflect the grace...

Christianity is a life, but religion is manufactured. The line between the two realities is barely detectable at times. Christianity leads to salvation, but the counterfeit versions lead to damnation! While we often blame the enemy for undermining the work of God (and he does), human nature in its depravity is perfectly capable of producing imitations. Therefore, the genuine gospel is simple and e...

When a saint is targeted, causing them to stumble and lose their faith, that is not the time to give up on them. Brother Singh is a champion of underdogs. He supports those individuals whose credibility is eroded in the church. When we turn our backs on someone or point an accusation, we forget, "there is none righteous, no, not one! For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans...

Following up on Wednesday night's lesson, Brother Sam encourages the saints with a quotation from Ezekiel pertaining to the duties of a priest "They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean" (Ezek. 44:23). Our assembly and fellowship are blessed to have a pastor who "rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the...

Brother Singh expresses his awe and incredible wonder, knowing that God the Father "hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we {the elect} should be holy and without blame before Him in love."(Ephesians 1:4) It is incomprehensible to finite human minds that before anything existed, God loved us individually—not to accomplish fame or fortune, not to be wealthy or powerful—but...

Speaking of two resurrections, one spiritual and one physical, Jesus said: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hea...

How shall we learn scripture? To whom does the Lord reveal His knowledge? God's elect receive it  "precept upon precept,  line upon line,  here a little, there a little." (Isaiah 28:10) Tonight, Brother John Mowat reflected on the coming resurrection in the manner prescribed above. The love of God's word flows from this elder's heart like lava.

Brother Singh explains a generally misunderstood scripture in modern Christianity in this inspiring lesson. Nicodemus, a Jewish leader, and Pharisee approached Jesus at night, saying, "Rabbi, we know God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you." Nicodemus was likely a secret disciple of Jesus. So, before Nicodemus could ask it, Jesus discerned his question...

After separating the elect from the non-elect, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, "If you 'continue' in my word, then are you my disciples indeed" (John 8:31). Elsewhere he demands, "If you love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Fidelity is measured by commitment to faithful action, not by the words we speak! Often Brother Singh emphasizes 'lifestyle' to demonstrate our commitment...

Brother Sam takes a personal approach to Brother Singh's lesson on Wed. February 2nd. He shares what it is to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10-11) Knowing someone is not a casual encounter. It involves sacrifices if, by whatever means necessary, to attain the resurrection from the dead.

Brother Desmond Singh asks awkward questions because he wants us to face the reality of our commitment to God. Of course, we are sincere in our worship, but do we truly desire more of Jesus? His nature is not what many religious movements portray! The authentic image of Jesus is this: "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces f...

The saints in Mississauga honor Brother and Sister Singh for their years of dedicated service to the Lord on our behalf. What maturity they have spurned in our lives! We hear Sister Singh's emotional testimony about how her pastor's ministry has impacted her life for a refreshing change. We also listen to contributions from his grandsons; two fine young men raised to honor God and their mom, under...

In this memorial service, Brother Singh shared bits of his most intimate correspondence with the congregation. Many of the letters come from non-Christians—people whose lives were touched by God through contact with one of His chosen servants. Let us never underestimate the effect of a genuine witness! Solomon stated, "How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen r...

God sent the prophets of old because Israel was often in rebellion. Brother Singh has previously stated God uses imperfect men to deliver a perfect message. So, let us realize those called to the ministry struggle with their humanity as they endeavor to perform their office faithfully. If they hurt our feelings, ultimately, God has permitted it for our good. Yet, those God has elected and called a...

Because of the prevalence of iniquity today, God's children have lost understanding of the term blessings! The health-wealth & prosperity gospels have perverted our understanding of following Jesus. As a result, discipleship is a lost concept. Many actually view the lack of material abundance as disfavor by God. 

Although God's promises are not fulfilled in a single lifespan, they are nonetheless real. Millions of people claim those promises as a foundation for their faith yet "hold the truth in unrighteousness." To avoid hypocrisy, a committed Christian manifests a lifestyle approved by our heavenly Father. To "walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise" requires a fundamental change in human nature, o...

The most crucial doctrine we can learn from the Bible is a Godly lifestyle! Church attendance is meaningless if we do not practice a lifestyle pleasing to God. In this foundational lesson, Brother Singh reduces our facade of Christianity to a simple equation: "Are we doing the will of our heavenly Father?" Jesus said, "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine and doeth them, I will liken...

In this lesson, Brother Singh uses the history of his ministry to remind us of where God has brought us from. Our journey is long and arduous, from being lost in trespasses and sin to repentance, then being introduced to the truth of the gospel of the kingdom, and slowly and progressively towards holiness. It is through His ministry we are instructed by God, to "walk circumspectly, not as fools, b...

Brother Sam gives a brief history of Brother Singh's ministry in Canada. Appropriately, it starts with Brother Singh's introduction of the gospel of the Kingdom to the nation of Guyana. His message was revolutionary, for light penetrated the darkness of a lesser light available at that time. After humble beginnings, a core of saints responded as the Holy Spirit opened the eyes and ears of their un...

Complacency is a deadly fog that can descend on any congregation. In effect, we know the truth but do it not!  (See Romans 1:18) This warning does not apply to the ministry only, but to us, the saints who fail to implement the word of God we receive. The most important doctrine we can learn from scripture is how to live for God. "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,...

As we struggle to serve God yet cope with the challenges of daily life in this world, it is difficult to remember, “all things work together for good {both negative things and positive things} to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among ma...
