MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

Preachers are plentiful, but God-called ministers are in short supply. Elihu declared, "If there be a messenger (a preacher) with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness." (Job 33:23) Pastor Singh identifies three main preaching styles: Entertaining, educating, and illuminating. Each method has a role in fulfilling God's purpose, but effective preaching ought to...

Hearing the word of God is one thing; implementing God's word in our lives is another!  In these last days, many voices claim to speak for God. A child of God needs to distinguish an authentic voice in order not to be deceived. The Body of Christ is unique in that each assembly has a message delivered particularly to it. What is delivered to Mississauga, will differ from Des Moines, Vasai, Ha...

If we are honest, we will discover that much of what we do in worship is because of tradition.  In this message, Pastor Singh challenges us to determine what God wants, rather than what pleases us.  God is spirit. He demands that we worship him in spirit and truth. What is the origin of our ways? Could they mimic apostate religion or even pagan practices?  Sobering but necessary que...

The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: "And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."  (2 Timothy 2:2). Continuity of the message handed down from the Father, through the Son, and to the anointed ministry is essential. Without strong leadership, the work of God quickly is undermined by fickle tendenci...

In horticulture, pruning is the removal or reduction of parts of a tree or vine that are not requisite to growth or production. The bible calls spiritual pruning, "purging. " " Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:2) One of the hardest concepts for modern Christians is to understa...

The apostle Paul started the church at Corinth, but it failed. Apollos founded the church at Ephesus and it succeeded to be commended by Jesus in Revelation 2. WHY? In this remarkable lesson, Pastor Singh teaches us why good churches slide into apostasy and why others endure. Essential realities for every believer today to understand and value. (September 4, 2019)

Using Isaiah 24, Pastor Singh demonstrates the parallels between prophecy uttered 2700 years ago, and what we are witnessing today as the judgment of COVID-19 sweeps the world. "Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof."  While God has been merciful to our Assembly, have we responded to Him with gratitude...

Paul wrote instructions to Timothy, "that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in God's house, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15). God's sanctuary is to be reverenced. There is a due order than enables the congregation to milk the most out of each service. Even when listening to messages at home, our conduct ought to please G...

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils." (1 Timothy 4:1)  Paul's sobering warning speaks of the state of the Christian church today.  Timothy 3 is the third and final installment in this excellent series. The Lord has placed many unique thoughts in Pastor's Singh's mind over t...

Pastor Singh anticipates an onslaught of persecution against the church before the Bride of Christ is caught up to heaven. Carnal weapons are useless in spiritual warfare. The Bride of Christ consists of overcomers. They overcome all the obstacles that hinder God's work. (1 John 2:16)  Yet, all believers are engaged in  "spiritual battle." For this reason, we must put on the full armor o...

T imothy is a perfect case study in discipleship. A disciple follows the doctrines and develops the vision of the teacher. He knows how to adapt the principles and precepts of the master and can apply them effectively to meet the local assembly's needs. Timothy was steadfast, reliable, and trustworthy when taking over any church God planted under Paul's ministry.  (July 5, 2020)

Every pastor longs for a disciple who will carry on God's work in the pastor's absence. Paul charged Timothy to "teach no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies..."  We need a realistic faith built of the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone. Continuity of the message is essential. A belief that gives sway to myths and fa...

In each child of God resides a root of bitterness (Hebrews 12:15). It is residue from our fallen nature that the Lord must expose to perfect us.  Moses for instance needed the stubborn rebellion of his people to expose the anger in his heart. Pastor Singh also explains the difference between the wrath of God and the chastening of God in this impactful lesson.      &nb...

Have you considered what God had in mind for you and me when he allowed the COVID-19 pestilence to ravage our land? Our attitude towards trials and obstacles will determine our spiritual prosperity in the church. It is in the church that we learn to conquer our spiritual giants. If we focus on worldly-advice, we will be overwhelmed by fear or wonder after the beast. A child of God needs their spir...

What was different between Joshua and Aaron? Both served Moses, one as a servant, the other as a priest. At the end of Moses's life, God bypassed Aaron choosing Joshua to carry on Moses's work. The reasons are significant!  Pastor Singh gives us essential insight into the spirit of a servant and how God uses it to further His work.  (J une 24, 2020 )

In a great house {that is the church}, there are not only gold and silver vessels but also those made wood and clay. Some are vessels of honor, while some are vessels of  dishonor.  (2 Timothy 2:20)  On the day of Sister June Goodwin's funeral service in the Des Moines Iowa Assembly, Brother Singh pays tribute to a stalwart saint. He uses the occasion to bring a valuable object less...

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy spirit from me."  Using Psalm 51, Pastor Singh teaches us that it is not enough to blot out our transgressions, but we need the root cause of our sin habits eliminated.  An essential message for every child of God, progressing along the road to sanctification....

Many Christians believe the Christian life should be happy, healthy, and wealthy. But, did Jesus preach such a gospel? Did Peter or Paul teach a carefree Christian life?  No! James wrote: "Brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations {or trials}. Temptation and trials are the hallmarks of genuine Christian conversion. Pastor Singh teaches on the necessity of understanding t...

Sanctification is progressive. It takes time to overcome our fallen human nature, surrender our love of the world, and learn to resist temptation. This reality is beautifully described in 2 Peter 1:4-6. When taught by God's anointed ministry, the lesson motivates our hearts to seek the divine nature offered to us through Christ Jesus.   ( Delivered by live-streaming to the saints in Mississau...

What is meant by the apostle's doctrine? (Acts 2:42) Did the early church argue over godhead interpretations, the resurrection of the dead, or immortality, as we often do today?  In this penetrating lesson, Pastor Singh, using the epistle to Titus, clearly explains the meaning of the term and how it differs from our misconceptions. ( Live-streamed to the saints in Mississauga, and abroad, Jun...

"To everything, there is a season; a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to harvest;  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build-up." (Eccl. 3:1-3) The world is experiencing such a season. The institutions and organizations we counted on are teetering. Civility has given way to anarchy. Go...

People often quote Jesus, saying, "the truth shall make you free." Yet, the truth about ourselves is the essential truth we can discover. It is in the church that our lives are examined against scripture under the leading of the Holy Spirit.  Pastor Singh concludes this outstanding mini-lesson on the spirit of Jesus. It is a reality check for every child of God.  (Delivered to the saints...

When Jesus enters some Pentecostal services today, he might assume he is in a nightclub rather than God's sanctuary. Confronted by disco-style lighting, pounding Christian rock music, flamboyant preaching, people zoned out in ecstatic-trances, our Lord might think he was attending a Stones concert.   Does such a scene "worship the Father in spirit and truth?" Has the church inadvertently...

While most of the apostle Paul's epistles were corrective letters written to churches that had backslidden, the Church at Colossae was remarkable. Though not started by Paul, Colossae, built on a proper foundation, functioned as intended. Hence, Paul's exhortation urged the Colossians to continue in a godly lifestyle. Pastor Singh compels us to likewise "walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,...

The duty of a prophet in ancient Israel was to be a watchman warning God's people of pending judgment (Ezekiel 3:17). Today the role has not changed. A few precious men of God, stand-alone to give warning to God's people and His priests "{My people} are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.  For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep…" (Isaia...
