MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

While our youth prepare for a future that will include a career, marriage, and family, our senior congregation members prepare for death. Death can come swiftly to anyone, at any age, especially more so now at the end of the age. Death is never a taboo subject for a believer, for children of God need to face reality. Just as birth brought us into this world, death will usher our exit. There is no...

Brother Singh briefly reviewed 2 Timothy 2:20:  "In a great house {Christ's Church} there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and earth; some to honor, and some to dishonor." The church can be viewed as a citizenship school for future citizens of the kingdom of God.  Absenteeism from school is not conducive to an ideal learning experience.  These sorrows are th...

Our senior elders, Brother John & Brother Sam, briefly recap Wednesday's lesson dealing with vessels of honor and dishonor in the church. As tribulation and judgment continue to fall, we are reminded that nothing short of a genuine conversion experience can save us. The enticements of the world beckon our youth away from the church, but conversion begins in the home. Establishing a godly envir...

Ministers of the gospel may offer individual interpretations of certain scriptures. Brother Singh is obligated to speak what the Lord places in his heart, whether or not it agrees with traditional interpretations; whether or not offends some. Jesus said, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send [or bring] peace, but a sword."  (Matthew 10:34)  The church is no...

As Hurricane Ida makes landfall in New Orleans sixteen years to the day after Katrina, one cannot help but ponder the judgment of God. "Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34) While New Orleans has a reputation as a sin city—complete with witchcraft and voodoo—Brother Singh reminds us that God's people are often guilty of far worse sin—that is iniqui...

An elder then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, and apt to teach. Blessed with two senior elders who possess thEse qualities and more, Pastor Singh has able men to support his ministry. The necessity of a Holy Spirit baptism as part of our conversion process is emphasized in this message. In the last days, deception will be rampant...

We live in a chaotic world. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard. (Isaiah 24:20) The prophecies of Jesus found in Matthew 24 are now our daily reality.  Yet Jesus calls us to remain calm, "See that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines and pestilenc...

We must face the reality of life.  In this practical gospel message, Brother Desmond Singh challenges us to take control of our circumstances. Jesus said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32) One of the first truths we need to understand is the truth about ourselves! Nobody exists in ideal circumstances, so whatever our reality is, we must accept and mana...

Too often, we take our local pastors for granted. We do not view them with respect due to their office. The faithfulness of local pastors, who often labor in obscurity and deprivation, will stand as a testimony against unfaithful saints on the day of judgment for their indifference. Faithfulness in scripture denotes "faith to endure to the end" (Matthew 10:22). The qualities of faithfulness includ...

Brother Singh made a profound statement, reflecting the mind of Christ. "If an individual is experiencing judgment in their life, that is not the time for me to give them my opinion. It is the time for me to show compassion and mercy." Judgment is always a matter between God and the individual.  As Jesus neared the conclusion of his ministry, he issued woes upon the religious elite, saying: "...

While the earth reels to and fro like a drunkard under judgment, we children of God ought to be examining ourselves in light of God's word. The lessons we have received are designed to save us, but we must heed and implement them. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will...

Brother Desmond R Singh relies on the leading of the Holy Spirit each time he stands to preach or teach. The instruction of God's people is so vital that He cannot risk it to human thinking, presumptions, or philosophy. Therefore, Jesus prayed to the Father, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." (John 17:17) Scripture is essential to our life. "For whatsoever things were written af...

Brother Desmond R Singh speaks to Gospel Tabernacle Youth Meeting, Haiti, August 9, 2021, by Zoom. He encouraged the Haitian youth to set spiritual, educational, and vocational goals today that will equip them to face the challenges of a hostile world tomorrow. 

This post recaps a most reassuring lesson God delivered through his servant, Brother Singh, on August 8, 2021. "We know {in hindsight from scriptural examples} that ALL things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). Let us not be guilty of treating this passage with casual familiarity. "All things" mean both the positives an...

Elders play an essential role in Christ's church. They support God's anointed ministry by encouraging the saints and watering the messages. Watering is a term used to mean meticulous care, given the way a gardener nurtures tender plants. Saints are in various stages of maturity, yet the church provides an environment that fosters growth and development in each individual. Brother John and Brother...

Much confusion and error exist about the role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the saints.  Again, hindsight helps us understand conversion. Although the disciples were with Jesus for three and a half years, they were ill-prepared to comprehend his death and resurrection, let alone launch his church. As Jesus was preparing to leave them to return to the Father, he said, "I will pray {to} th...

"Hindsight is 20/20," meaning that only by looking back on a situation can we understand God’s purpose. The pestilence labeled COVID-19 has brought significant hardship to people everywhere. But let us be mindful that what God uses to judge the world is meant as a chastisement for His children. During the past 14 months, a library of life-sustaining lessons has been posted by podcast providers to...

Brother Sam led tonight's service, reviewing the Wednesday lesson on Christian suffering & stressing that our ultimate aim is to love God and one another more perfectly. Brother John testified how the "our God of all comfort "sustained him during the many days of ICU isolation that he endured fighting COVID-19. Tonight's service brings assurance to the saints of God that we are fed strong meat...

The Lord used his servant, Brother Singh, to provide us with a greater illumination on suffering. So many of our local saints and those abroad are enduring hardship, chronic sickness, and pain. COVID-19 has made life very difficult for some. Our Lord knows each individual's situation, and while we often pray and hope for dramatic miracles—they are the exception, not the norm. Chastisement and suff...

Brother Singh asserts that by 12 or 13, every young person needs to have set both spiritual and secular goals for their life. Our spiritual goal ought to be stated similarly to that of the Apostle Paul: To apprehend or achieve that for which Christ Jesus called me. (Philippians 3:12) Our secular goal is the profession that we wish to achieve. Whether the goal is to qualify in a trade, to become a...

Every called man of God has been influenced, trained, and shaped by someone God called before him. Elisha followed Elijah; the disciples followed Jesus; Timothy followed Paul. That is the pattern God uses, and it has not changed through the ages. Paul Singh recounts his arrival in America from Guinea, South America, to meet and train under Brother Lloyd Goodwin in this brief remarkable message. He...

God created Adam in His "own image" (Genesis 1:27), but Brother Singh speculates that image was lost due to the fall. So, the word "image" implies much more than a physical resemblance. It also entails the nature, characteristics, and mindset of God. Hence, the image of Christ replaces the image Adam lost. So, Jesus reflects God's glory and is the exact imprint of Father's very being. (Hebrews 1:3...

Millions of people think they know Jesus but do not. On judgment day, many will say to him, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' But he will declare, "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Mt 7:22-23) Knowing Jesus is not an intellectual exercise, but an experience of the heart.

Jeremiah and the other prophets were not playboys in the pulpit. It seems the prophets of old lived apart from the rest of society and only appeared when sent by God to deliver a message. Their messages warned the people of their sin and iniquity. Then, as today, people resent having their hypocrisy exposed. Hence, the prophets and apostles were not only rejected but persecuted and martyred. &nbsp...

God has enabled the Internet to help preach the gospel to the whole world in these last days. Yet Brother Singh's goal has a narrow focus: Preaching messages designed to save individuals. Of course, hearing the gospel is essential, but allowing the gospel to effectively change our nature is the ultimate purpose. "Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." (James 1:2...
