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
First Corinthian 11th Chapter, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, 11.3. First Corinthian 11th Chapter. What I have received of the Lord is also delivered unto you. Lord Jesus, same night as we took bread. Twenty-five. Of the cement also, is the cup. And He has said, Yes. In verse twenty-nine, last portion, Lord's discerning the Lord's body. Those who want to take part, they must discern what is the Lord's body. What is the body of Lord Jesus Christ? It is not a ceremony, a ritual, to take part in. You want to be benefited, approached by it, just by it, discern the spiritual meaning of the body of Lord Jesus Christ. Only those in whom the life of logic are closed, they have the privilege to be the member of the body of Christ. Those who believe on Him after two repentance, they are told already, they have received already the gifts of everlasting life. They have His life. In that life we enjoy everlasting. All among us, we can say truthfully, they have become the member of the body of Lord Jesus Christ. Living member, can take part. Only by having a Christian name, we can become a member of the body. So I can say honestly and truthfully, they are the member of the body, having received the life, can take part, and skip the sales. Life being the most pure life, cannot flow into any defiled spirit. It is spiritual life. God is spirit. Only in our spirit, that life can come into us. Because of sinful thoughts, all of us are defiled in the spirit. Only by the presence of Lord Jesus Christ, we are purified, are purged, are cleansed, are white, are sanctified. We are not member of the body. If they take part, they become a judgment. Necessarily we testify, together, how all of us are equally precious on Lord Jesus Christ. Because we are purged by Him, the same Lord. Secondly, when we testify, by the presence of Lord Jesus Christ, we are purified, are cleansed, are sanctified. Therefore, in His eyes, all of us are equally precious. All of us are equally pure. All of us are equal. Very high purpose. Yes. Then Lord Mahatma, the worthy, He will help us in this life. Then also, when we take part, we give a practical proof, of His power of death, Lord Jesus Christ, for twenty-six years. As often as He eats His bread, and drinks the cup, He will show, the Lord's actually come for twenty-six years. He died so many years ago. And yet, His power of death is being manifested in so many people, the whole part of the world, among all nations. Because none of us can die to our own sinful nature, our own efforts. Sinful nature. Just as the disease of cancer can't be cured by any disease, by death. They bring death rays, electric rays, in that real portion of cancer. And make that person to die slowly, by his miserable application. That is the only remedy. Similarly, only by the power of death, we can die to our sinful nature, and thought and reality. And by dying to our sinful nature, we are able to have a pure heart and a good conscience. And by the power of resurrection, we live a pure life. And why we can't take part? So please remember, it is a testimony and not a ceremony. We have sufficient time to stretch our heart, to give up our time, to put it right. Take part for this. And you take part with a better confidence to find, not just my meat, my drink, my sufficient food. In the hope of glory, I am seeing Him face to face, and He comes again, all the angels, all the saints. Lord among us, we are truly born again, and have inward peace, perfect peace, multiplying peace, and I feel in God's presence, looking forward to coming to Rajasthan and taking part. Paraloka Samadhanam. I love to hear the prayer. You are born again and again to fall by some sin, some crime. Don't take part. You must put right. Nobody purposely are keeping that in the middle. Reminding us, we don't require certain mediators. Every believer has equal access as long as they are called upon Him in any deed. We are still slave to any worldly practice, worldly wife. Don't take part. You must put right. By faith, Lord, I give my whole life unto Thee. Research me, examine me. Help me to live a life of victory and triumph and fruitfulness the whole year. Help me to live a life of victory and triumph and fruitfulness the whole year. Follow my defilements to help me to take part worthily in Biblical. Give me the right to put right in the Godhead man. And that way you will be fully profited, benefited and able to begin your life this year in the Godhead. You have to give a tax deposit to you. You have to keep your head held to yourself. If you find your neighbor sleeping, wake him up as he missed the portion.
