Bakht Singh

Bakht Singh Chabra (1903 - 2000). Indian evangelist, church planter, and Bible teacher born in Joiya, Punjab (now Pakistan), to a devout Sikh family. Educated at Punjab University, he studied agricultural engineering in England (1926-1928) and Canada (1929-1932), embracing a Western lifestyle, including smoking and drinking, while rejecting his Sikh roots by shaving his hair. Initially hostile to Christianity—once tearing a Bible apart—he converted in 1929 in Winnipeg after reading the New Testament, influenced by Christian friends John and Edith Hayward. Returning to India in 1933, he began preaching as an Anglican evangelist, later becoming independent, sparking the 1937 Martinpur revival, a pivotal movement in Indian Christianity. In 1941, after a night of prayer in Chennai, he founded Hebron Ministries, establishing over 10,000 indigenous churches modeled on New Testament principles across India and South Asia. Singh authored books like How I Got Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory and held annual “Holy Convocations” in Madras, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Kalimpong, drawing thousands. Married to Rama Bai at age 12 in 1915, little is recorded of their personal life. His contextualized gospel, blending Indian spirituality with biblical truth, earned him the title “Elijah of the 21st Century” in Indian Christendom. Singh’s words, “I have never asked any man for anything, but the Lord is richly supplying all my needs,” reflect his faith-driven ministry. Despite Parkinson’s disease in his final decade, his legacy endures through Hebron’s global network and writings, praised by figures like Ravi Zacharias.

Sermon Transcription
Then you will see for yourselves more and more how we had become absolutely corrupt. There are so many diseases that can never be easily understood by outward diagnosis. That's why doctors have to use so many tests of the inner body before they can be sure of the disease. That's why doctors have to use so many tests of the inner body before they can be sure of the disease. Then you will know how horrible the disease has been in the person. By no human means we can ever find out its real nature. And when you take part in the last table rightly and properly, then these two things will be brought to you. Then these two things will be brought to you. How corrupt you have become and how precious you have become Lord Jesus Christ. You have to pay to leave us, to forgive us and change us. And that will make you save the world. I will bless the Lord at all times. I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the sure signs of those who are truly born again. O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. O magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together. The rest of the states, Lord may keep them, they have still a song of praise, song of thanksgiving and victory. Now those who have escaped that danger, they have done so only by thanking God themselves. Now those who have escaped that danger, they have done so only by thanking God themselves. Now their friends, their relations, their neighbors are so full of gratitude how the loved ones have come back safely. But we have been rescued from a far greater danger than the danger of the war. But we have been rescued from a far greater danger than the danger of the war. Our Lord is asking us to join together and thank Him. Without a doubt, we thank Him every day. And thank our Lord for what He has done for us. And thank our Lord for what He has done for us. But He has saved us for a very high purpose. To be with Him forever as a King and Priest. But He has saved us for a very high purpose. Their faces also began to shine with God's glory and God's beauty. We have been saved by God's grace. One day, we will be with Him and we will be like Him. One day, we will be with Him and we will be like Him. Our hearts will be completely changed. Our hearts will be completely changed. You might have seen these melons that we have in the summer time in this country. Not watermelon, kharbooz. I don't think it is kharbooz and tarbooz. Kharbooz is watermelon. Kharbooz is watermelon. These other melons, when they are plucked from the field, they are gathered in working heaps. They will select one out of so many. It is a very nice color. I have put them in the center. And then after a day or two, you find the whole heap in the same color. If you have left them to themselves as they are, they won't have the same color. But when they are put together, I have put one melon inside. It is a very nice color. Then you find the whole heap of the melons has the same flavor, same and same color. Then you find the whole heap of the melons has the same flavor, same and same color. Now you find a different logic again. Now you find a different logic again. We can be like him. Even though we have abandoned so many marks of our past lives, even though we have abandoned so many marks of our past lives, but we are going to be transformed completely. And we shall be like him. And for that, again, we have to praise him. And we have to be kept in the logic. Not good. That is the man that is in him. For taste and see. Now we wanted also to have the same experience. We do not satisfy it by having our own experience. We want our neighbors, our friends to come and taste it. We want our neighbors, our friends to come and taste it. And that is why we take part together in Lord Shiva. To our transformed life. To our transformed life. Now we go to worship. But if you worship loudly, you will not be heard. And you will not be heard by others. And please do not bring your worship in small words. So that many people get the opportunity to listen.
