MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

Paul, writing to Timothy,  instructed the young pastor to remain at Ephesus so that he might "charge {or command} some to teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies (which minister questions, rather than godly edification which strengthens faith)"(1 Timothy 1:3-4). In tonight's lesson, Paul Singh emphasized that theoretic doctrinal error is not nearly as pernicio...

In this lesson, Brother Singh gave us an overview of his journey from pagan origins to the Body of Christ. Every elect child of God seeks the truth (even though it may not be apparent to us during our journey). We intuitively yearn for something more, but God must lead us to it step by step. The truth is reality! Yet, God must open our spiritual ears and eyes to recognize it (Matthew 13:16). For t...

A building with a steeple does not make a church. Calling ourselves the Body of Christ does not mean that God recognizes us as such. Like Sardis, we could have a reputation, yet God sees us as dead. If we seek an assembly to model ourselves after, we need to go back to the Book of Acts. We cannot measure ourselves against the standards established by Brother William Sowders but instead to the Chur...

In this foundational message, Brother Singh establishes why TRUTH is paramount in the lives of God's elect. The early Church faced many competing ideologies for the hearts and minds of God's people. Jewish fables and Greek philosophy abounded. Interwoven into the culture and traditions of Jewish life, myths, and genealogies pressured Jewish converts to adhere to practices handed down from previous...

"Deception" is a primary tool of the devil. People naively buy genuine fakes all the time, from Rolex watches to Gucci bags, and Christianity is no exception. When Satan destroys a church, he does not close it down. Instead, he renders the Church impotent so it cannot produce overcomers. Worse, the congregation is blissfully unaware, and we deceive ourselves through hypocrisy, fooling ourselves in...

If self-righteousness could save us, from our fallen nature, there would have been no need for Jesus to die.  Brother Singh emphasizes that discipleship requires self-denial.  Using Philippians Chapter 3 to encourage fellow-ministers, he minded us that the apostle Paul "flushed" the very status symbols that we covet today! Ignoring the 21st-century customs and norms is not easy.  Su...

Brother Singh shows us that the illumination of his heart enabled Joshua to have a servant's attitude. Carnal-mindedness caused Aaron to be a people-pleaser. Joshua waited faithfully for Moses at the mountain's base while Aaron caved to a peoples' fickle demands to build and worship a golden calf.  There is a discernible difference in the sound of carnal-worship and the sound of Spirit-led wo...

Brother Desmond Singh used parts of Revelation (Chapters 1-3) to demonstrate that Body assemblies have flaws. Of the seven churches listed in Asia Minor, five were rebuked by our Lord. This fact should shock none of us. While we may be vibrant assemblies today, we can slip into apostasy tomorrow. The essential message to Sardis from God was: "I know your works. Although you have a reputation as a...

If I hold anything in preeminence to the demands of God, I am involved in idolatry. For this reason, Brother Singh urges us continually to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. The worst kind of fool is one who fools himself. Denial of my iniquity will mean nothing when I stand in the Judgment (Matthew 7:21-23). The pastor's role is to cleanse God's children—the devils' role is to pollu...

It is not without good cause that Brother Singh holds an uncompromising position against worldly views and practices. The apostle Paul planted a vibrant church at Corinth to have it backslide to damnation under apostate leadership after he departed. God called His chosen people "a sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity ..." (Isaiah 1:4). Despite having been delivered from the bondage of slave...

We are not here by accident. God chose the elect with a purpose in mind. Although we were not born righteous and holy, but rather with a fallen, depraved nature, yet it pleased God to choose us to spend eternity with Him. "Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" (Matthew 25:34). Broth...

Every child of God needs to be sensitive to God's voice. "God speaketh once, yea twice, {indeed multiple times} yet man perceiveth it not." (Job 33:14)  God speaks primarily through His anointed ministry. To ignore the man of God is to ignore our Lord. When things go awry in our life, we need to consider if God is applying additional pressure to help us submit to His will.

The Church's purpose is to produce overcomers: both bride members (Revelation 14:3-5) and saints (Revelation 2: 9-10). Satan's purpose is to oppose the work of God. If he can cause the Church to fail in its intended purpose, then he has succeeded. Brother Singh explains that the devil succeeds when he turns an organism into an organization, corrupts God's saints' purity, or dilutes the ministry. I...

Brother Singh encourages us to think outside the limits of our understanding. Using the vastness and unfathomable design of the universe, he explained, we serve a God with a plan beyond human comprehension. He stressed the difference between time and eternity, so we might grasp the reality that God "hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame...

If we are "elected" individually by God to be in His kingdom, we cannot die the first death until all necessary changes to our Adamic nature have been accomplished. Only then can I say with Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God..." (Galatians 2:20). So our purpose—from...

The source of our information and its validity has never been as important anytime in human history as today! Webs of deception attempt to entangle us; the Internet poses a significant threat to a child of God if misused. It is a tool that we use for good, but we cannot be naive to its potential for evil.  Brother Singh warns the Internet ought not to guide the lives of children of God. Let G...

Brother and Sister Singh share their testimonies concerning their ministry in Canada. A man of God cannot function alone. Sister Chandre and daughter Nadine have been integral team players helping to fulfill the calling on Desmond R. Singh's life. May God continue to sustain and lead them, especially during these difficult days marked by the COVID-19 pestilence.

Brother Singh describes our present comprehension of God's plan as that of an observer watching a master artist prepare the background on a canvas. The artist has the eventual image clearly in his perspective, but we incapable of imagining the finished product. So vast and comprehensive is God's eventual plan that we are limited to accepting it in faith. The finite creature cannot grasp infinity....

Collectively speaking, we gravely underestimate our penchant for sin. No one needs to teach a cute little toddler to lie—we have all witnessed it countless times. Our appetite for wickedness is in our fallen nature. And, if this writer grasps any understanding of tonight's lesson, delivered by God through his servant, Brother Singh, it is our need for the Holy Spirit to overcome our carnal nature....

As COVID-19 ravages the world, we see both saints and the ungodly sick and dying. In the face of judgment, let us not jump to CONCLUSIONS! We need to examine ourselves, not our brothers and sisters.  James wrote that we are to "count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations {trials and affliictions}..." (See: James 1:2-4).  The suffering and death of a saint could be their final s...

Brother Singh asserts that much of what we know as the New Testament would not exist without Luke's contribution. He wrote not only the gospel bearing his name but the Book of Acts. In Colossians 4:14, Paul refers to him as the beloved physician. The great apostle was often in poor health thus, without Luke, perhaps could not have accomplished his ministry.  Of all the New Testament writers,...

What would you do if you were God for a day? It is a profound question that Brother Singh asks us to consider. Many of us would eliminate the devil, cancer, and poverty. And God, who is sovereign in all things, could rid the world of every sickness, evil, and sorrow with the snap of his fingers. But He does not! "Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass when the Lord commandeth it not?" (Lam 3:...

The Lord told Jeremiah: "I have this day set thee over the nations and the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant." (v. 10) Brother illustrates this passage as a gardener preparing the soil before planting. Root out the rocks and debris, pull down vines and thistles, break up the clay chunks, and prepare the seedbed.  Like the church...

Fables, false doctrines, pagan idols, and apostate religion defile us. God's desire is to cleanse us if we seek the Lord and desire Him as our beloved.  "By night on my bed, I sought him {Jesus} whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not." (Song of Solomon 3:1) The problem is that we seek our beloved Lord in all the wrong places. We seek him in education through seminaries and Bib...

This was a different Wednesday night in the Body of Christ. After a ruthless self-examination, Brother Singh shared his failures as a minister and child of God with the congregation. Deeply moved, this writer felt convicted of his ineffectiveness as a witness for Christ.  What is our Christian purpose, if not to be a hiding place from the destructive winds of today's morally bankrupt society?...
