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
We bring to you in this CD, the worship message by the Lord's Servant, Sir Bhagat Singh, on 7th November 1965, during the Hyderabad Holy Convocation, held at the temple in Hyderabad. And verse 6, Philippians chapter 1 and verse 6. We, the government is very keen, we have begun a good work in you, we will perform it until the day of your death. Before we go to worship, we do want to remind you, from God's word as he promises. Before we go to worship, we do want to remind you, from God's word as he promises. Lord Jesus Christ himself said that he will come again. Lord Jesus Christ himself said that he will come again. And we have been reminded again and again, that he is coming quickly. And we have been reminded again and again, that he is coming quickly. And in coming again, the work which he himself began in us will be perfected or completed. And in coming again, the work which he himself began in us will be perfected or completed. Till that day, the work cannot be perfected. Till that day, the work cannot be perfected. So that day is going to be a day of great rejoicing both in heaven and for all the saints. So that day is going to be a day of great rejoicing both in heaven and for all the saints. Those who are not born again, haven't got new life. For them, that day has no meaning. Those who are not born again, haven't got new life. For them, that day has no meaning. They have to be prepared for the coming judgment, coming wrath. They have to be prepared for the coming judgment, coming wrath. But all those who sinned are forgiven, and we are indwelled with Lord Jesus Christ. For them, that day is a happiest day. And that's why in Colossians 1.37, the Lord is also called the hope of glory. And that's why in Colossians 1.37, the Lord is also called the hope of glory. Whom God would make known, but it is of the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles, Jesus Christ in you, the hope of glory. Whom God would make known, but it is of the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles, Jesus Christ in you, the hope of glory. When he appears, secretary of account promised, we are going to be glorified together on that day. When he appears, secretary of account promised, we are going to be glorified together on that day. But we have to do it, do so joyfully. But we have to do it, do so joyfully. That is why we really take part of the book. We receive extra strength which is required to withstand all these temptations and be prepared for the glory. We receive extra strength which is required to withstand all these temptations and be prepared for the glory. At the same time we are reminded by one Lord, how we have become one in larger size. At the same time we are reminded by one Lord, how we have become one in larger size. How the enemy has tried to bring divinity and party among us. How the enemy has tried to bring divinity and party among us. And the very same thing which was intended to keep us together, in our youth they have already divided us. The very same thing which was intended to keep us together, in our youth they have already divided us. The very same thing which was intended to keep us together, in our youth they have already divided us. Rather than keeping it last table, it has become a mess table. Rather than keeping it last table, it has become a mess table. There are people called Anglicans. There are people called Anglicans. You may be a smoker, you may be a drunkard or a doctor. You are confirmed, you can take part. By the one word Bishop. And in Bible, the word Bishop is only meant for an elder or a senior. Not to make one man in charge of like a governor of a very big province. Not to make one man in charge of like a governor of a very big province. And by this system, they have brought darkness everywhere. Same way they don't know the word, also confirmation. Same way they don't know the word, also confirmation. Now that word only used once in God's word. Acts 14.22 Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith. We must do much tribulation and again on God. Confirming. Not by teaching, not by doing of hands. But they have brought a very very wrong teaching of confirmation. And they believe that by these hands, they receive Holy Spirit. But they don't have the Holy Spirit. But the truth is, how many of their Bishops have received Holy Spirit. They are smokers. Full of greed. How they are blinded. Like you find in many denominations. Like you find in many denominations. They are also men called brethren. They take much pride on their Bible knowledge. They think they are the highest people in whole world. And nobody can see them anything else. And they say, unless you have a proper interview with their elders, you can't take point of them. What I am saying is, if you have a proper interview with their elders, you can't take point of them. What I am saying is, if you have a proper interview with their elders, you can't take point of them. But spiritually, it is an individual responsibility to search your heart and then take point. But according to them, individually, each one of them should test themselves and then take point of them. To examine themselves and study the heart. But we cannot enter their heart. We don't know about it. But if we have a proof of anybody living in a sin, then we are justified in saying, don't take part. If we have a proof of anybody living in a sin, then we are justified in saying, don't take part. This is a lost table. That's why you see it in the middle there. And one cup reminds you how, before our Lord, we are equally precious. And the same cup reminds us that, before our Lord, we are equally precious. And the same blood brings us together, as one. And in His eyes, we are equally precious. Every believer has an equally important ministry in the house of God. Every believer has an equally important ministry in the house of God. When we take part in Bhadli, we may be able to find out also what is your particular place in the house of God. When we take part in Yogriti, we may be able to find out also what is your particular place in the house of God. You may be able to put away even the least thing which is giving the Holy Spirit. You may be able to put away even the least thing which is giving the Holy Spirit. When you have your tea or your food, you want to fly enough to make it a moment. Many years ago, I bought food at the station. Many years ago, I bought food at the station. I saw only one fly in one small dish. I took a spoon and threw it out. I took a spoon and threw it out. Then I was told, don't eat that food. I said, I have paid money for it. Why waste it? Straight away I threw it away. Straight away I threw it away. I have already thrown away the fly. It won't really harm. So I forced myself to have the food. Out of hope he came out. I thought I would have saved only twenty-five nakrasa. I lost more than twenty-five nakrasa. Now, we have some small things in our life. You might say there is no harm. But the Holy Spirit will tell you, they are harmful, very harmful, very harmful. Because when ordinary person gives any advice, we don't take much of it. But when you are given the same advice by some good doctor or specialist, then you obey that advice. Your wife says, don't take sugar, too much sugar, you never care for it. But doctor says, don't take, I won't. Your wife says, don't take so much salt, don't know. But if your wife says, don't take so much salt, I don't care for it. I just said, blood pressure, don't take salt. I say, doctor says, you have blood pressure, don't take salt. So, it's quite natural. We pay more attention to those persons who have some authority. Our Lord has all authority. All power is given to me. So, when we are together, we are conscious of the presence. We are love and sacrifice. It is the power of Sati. That way, whatever He tells us, we obey. And that's why we spend some time in worship, before taking part in Lord's table. So, search our hearts at the same time, to be prepared for the day of glory. And the more we thank Him, the more we worship Him, the more we adore Him, the more we know the price He paid for us. Now, for prayer, we have a song. Let me go to worship. Now, mothers with the babies, please stay at the back and not anywhere in the middle, please. So, mothers with the babies, please stay at the back and not anywhere in the middle, please. Others, look sideways in a straight line. Others, look sideways in a straight line. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to pass bread. And at the same time, the children can go at the back for their breakfast. Then you have your meeting afterwards. Children's meeting. So, please stand all your children at the back, for the purpose. So, please send all your children at the back, for the purpose.
