MY GOSPEL @ Desmond R Singh

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? Should I not be a safe anchorage for my neighbor who is batter by the storms of life? 

"The greatest enemy to missions are prejudice and indifference, with spiritual blindness, the mother of them both," Brother Singh states. Blinded from the truth, people accept fairytales about death, errantly believing that the soul lives on after the body dies. In a poignant, short message, Brother Singh reviews death's reality and offers us the resurrection's hope. Faith is based on Biblical truths, not myths and pagan superstition.

It is not coincidental that our Lord has used marriage to illustrate the sanctity and intimacy of His relationship with the church. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word." What was our Lord's goal? "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So {too} ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself." (Ephesians 5:24-28)  No husband wants a Don Juan making passes at his wife. Each time we entertain false worship, and pagan customs, we are flirting with Satan—the deceiver and spoiler— giving him access to interfere with our relationship with Christ. Like a promiscuous wife, we jeopardize our marriage vows for the sake of a handful of carnal pleasures. Pastor Singh jealously guards his assembly (and indeed, the whole of God's work).  He is "jealous over us with godly jealousy: for he has espoused us to one husband, that he may present us as a chaste virgin to Christ." (2 Corinthians 11:2)

We fail to comprehend the love of God. "He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” (Eph. 1:4)  The transformation required to take us from lost wretches to be holy and blameless must take place in the church; in Christ's church. It is an arduous process.  It is imperative then, that the church be a measured place; not by our standards, but by God's (Revelation 11:1).  Since COVID-19 began, Pastor Singh now evaluates every aspect our this assembly's service to God. We used to view the scripture above as some future measurement. Now our Pastor sees it differently. The Bible already discloses God's requirements, but we have allowed human dogmas and traditions to dictate worship patterns contrary to God's ordinances. 

In this beautiful message, Brother Singh appeals to our hearts' comprehension, not our intellectual understanding.  Paul required more than 14 years of isolation to undo what Phariseeism had done to him. We forget that champions of our faith needed transformation. Paul wrote: "... be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind..." (See: Romans 12:1-2).  God brought Brother Singh into this fellowship to minister to the elect. The Lord has given Brother Singh many transforming lessons to preach during the COVID-19 lockdown. He has enlightened the elect and those elders and preachers that are open to His leading. The non-elect hear the words yet remain without comprehension. "For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not." (Job 33:14)  We cannot change that reality.

Much sinister evil exists in the church today, masquerading as righteousness before God. Pastor Singh explains the differences between the early church in the days of the apostles compared to the church today. This is a powerful lesson, essential to every elect child of God. We need to understand the difference between scripture and the word of God.  (Preached to the GTA Assembly, January 19, 2020)

The Body of Christ today has the Bible and numerous advantages that the early church did not have. Yet, the modern church lacks something essential that the early church had in abundance. Pastor Singh delivers a poignant comparison of the difference between the two churches, now and then. 

One of our saints asked whether there are apostles in the world today. Brother Singh pointed the congregation to Ephesians chapter 4. It is impressive to watch him teach an hour-long lesson extemporaneously, without notes or prior research. Throughout the session, our pastor delivered several mini-lessons that fit into our mosaic of faith like puzzle pieces.

Paul wrote, "I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain" (Galatians 4:11). Similarly, Brother Singh fears that he preaches to a congregation that will continue to live their lives in a manner that pleases them, not God. The cares of the world weigh heavily upon our service to Him. During worship, we often sit like zombies, not as people desperately reaching out to God. This ministry labors hard but sees little fruit.

"In this heartfelt message, Brother Singh reminds us that God's presence is not absent in our struggles — it is revealed through them. Learn how enduring faith transforms suffering into strength, and how keeping our eyes on Jesus brings peace even in life's fiercest storms."

In a relaxed evening of praise and worship, Brother Singh was delighted to welcome Brother Thomas Daka home for a brief visit. A key point discussed tonight was how music is often a significant source of false doctrine. Because of a poor KJV translation of John 14:2, misconstrued in song, millions of gullible saints are seeking "a mansion just over the hilltop." Be sure to listen to Brother Singh's correction of this myth floating about in Christendom. Accuracy in understanding the Word of God is paramount to our salvation.

In this sobering message, Brother Singh reminds us that the Church of Jesus Christ was never meant to be built upon human intellect, institutions, or modern trends. The true servants of God — like Moses, David, and Paul — were shaped in solitude and purified by trial before being entrusted with His Word. As the winds of deception sweep through today's religious world, this lesson calls every believer to return to the examples found in Scripture and to stand steadfast in truth, holiness, and humility before God.

Brother Sam exhorts us to consider what takes priority in our lives: Health, wealth, or our employment? David said, "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together" (Psalm 34:1-3).

In this stirring lesson, Brother Singh reminds us that abiding in Christ is not measured by gifts, emotions, or outward success, but by the quiet fruit of a transformed life. True discipleship is attested through obedience, humility, and the love that reflects the very nature of Christ. Paul referred to these qualities as the Fruit of the Spirit.

Joy and a Spirit of refreshing flooded our sanctuary on Sunday morning. After a rich message from our pastor on Hannah's spirit Saturday evening, many saints felt the need to let go—and let God! Sister Nadine, supported by Brother Singh, reminded us that we are in the Potter's House to be shaped into the vessels God wants us to be, not the ones we think we should be.

In this heartfelt message, Brother Desmond Singh highlights the quiet strength and godly humility of Hannah — a woman whose faith, reverence, and submission reveal the spirit God delights in. Her response to provocation, her prayer in sorrow, and her faithfulness in fulfilling her vow offer timeless lessons on how true worship is expressed through humility and trust in God's sovereign will.

In this penetrating lesson, Brother Singh draws a solemnparallel between willful neglect of truth and spiritual blindness. In today's religious climate, many present the gospel merely as an academic discussion open to all who will listen. Yet, as Brother Singh reminds us, God will not settle for "another gospel," one that bewitches His chosen followers.

Brother Singh reminded us that when God launched the early church, there were no Bibles available. God's anointed ministers carried Old Testament scriptures in their hearts. King David expressed the principle in Psalm 119:11: "Thy word I have hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee." With a love for truth in their hearts, those ministers then waited for inspiration from the Holy Ghost before preaching to the people.

In this profoundly moving message, Brother Singh turns our attention to the actual Lord’s Prayer found in John 17, where Jesus, moments before His crucifixion, prayed not for the world, but for those whom the Father had given Him. Our pastor challenges us to consider whether modern Christianity has blurred that sacred separation between God's people and the world. Through scripture and history, he calls for a renewed commitment to holiness, courage, and obedience in an age when compromise has become common.

In this stirring lesson, Brother Singh walks us through Romans Chapter 12, urging believers to live transformed lives that reflect the character of Christ. He reminds us that our faith is tested not by blessings but by how we respond to offense. Listen as he expounds on what it truly means to “Bless and curse not,” and how God uses our reactions to reveal the depth of our conversion.
