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.

Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Our loving Heavenly Father, in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, our loving Savior, preaching thy prayers again and again. Chanting And thus acknowledge our sufficiency is in thee alone. Unless thou speak with us, our gathering here will be in vain. Chanting Chanting Unless thou touch our lips, tongue, and throats, whatever we say is of no use.

Chanting Do God have mercy upon us? Chanting No way! Chanting Do we know God or man which cannot help us? Chanting But we believe in the Living God. Chanting We believe in the living God. We believe in the mighty God. We believe in the God of grace and mercy. And that's why we call upon Thee again and again. O God, come and visit us. Come mighty God unto all of us. O blessed God, show Thy mercy unto us. Even though we have failed, we humble ourselves. Now show Thy mercy. Do not leave anything empty from Thy presence. We call upon Thee through not keeping well. But Ebenezer Ellis in Gandhi Hospital, Ambassador Isaac, and Mrs. Fani, Brother Lucas Chase, Brother Elisha in Gandhi Hospital, Mrs. Sundaram in Rajah Mandir, and Brother Barwick in Africa. Others are known to us. So we pray, everyone be met by Thee. By faith we come unto Thee, O Lord. By faith we bind Satan. We pray in Thee name, O Lord. Psalm 92. Being brought to our attention on the very first gathering of this year's All India Holiday Convocation. And also to the songs, again and again, we are reminded of the same words. But we don't think that we have any fixed plan beforehand, that we are going to sing on the very same verse every day, the whole Convocation. We have no plan. In every Holi Convocation, we print these badges, which are worn by the people who stay on the dust microphone. No, no, no, not that way. We give you badges for the Convocation. And before we have the badges printed, we pray for many, many days to find God's message for the badge. Even then we don't know how that verse is going to be used in that period. And when we begin the Convocation, we pray together again and again, O Lord, show us Thy plan and Thy message and Thy messenger. We don't know who is going to speak that day. Or the meeting. We only go day by day. But somehow or other, the Holy Spirit has been constraining us again and again to bring you the very same text from God's Word. And that's why we believe this is God's Word to us these days. And we very humbly request you, please write these words upon your heart. Whosoever you are, our loving God wants you to come like a flourishing, food-bearing palm tree. Whosoever we are, not an ordinary palm tree, a palm tree which is planted in the house of a living, loving, mighty God. Even though some of you may have never seen a palm tree, I am sure you must have eaten the date also. But that is a very common fruit. It is common in many parts of the world. And apart from this, it can be preserved for many, many months. It is being sold everywhere. And you will notice right from the roots of the tree, in the top of the tree, every part of it is useful. Nothing is wasted. The roots, and the trunk, and the leaves, and the fruit, everything is useful. Even the stone of the day, the seed, are useful too. They ground it into powder and feed the camels. And you find how the camels have to travel in the desert for many, many months when there is no food of any kind. Again you find the leaves of the tree remain green for all the years. It may be a cold weather or a hot weather. Maybe a stormy weather or other weather. The leaves remain green. And the tree goes on yielding good fruit till the end. Then I become old. It goes on yielding, yielding, yielding, yielding fruit. And it also goes on yielding for many, many years. Even though there is no rain, it still goes on yielding. Even though there is no rain, it still goes on yielding. It is such a wonderful tree. And the only tree which provides some shade and some comfort, some enjoyment, to travel in the desert for many, many months. And that's why our God wants us, for you and me, to be like a flourishing food bank. And that's why our God wants us, for you and me, to be like a flourishing food bank. And then we saw how the meaning flourishes in the Bible, which means success and prosperity. We saw in the Bible how success and prosperity flourish in the English language. And the other day we saw how the meaning flourishes in the English language, which means success and prosperity. As you see in Joshua and chapter 1 verse 8. And that is a common desire in every man's heart. Success and prosperity. However old you may be, I am sure, you must have an attitude that is common to everyone. As children, we want to be successful in exams. Even though we do study very hard, even though children don't work very hard, they are playing all the time. Only studying for the two days before the exam. Studying whole day, whole night, till midnight. Even though they deserve a very big zero for their paper, they want success. They have the false hope. Maybe the examiner will be very kind and give me pass mark 30%. And some pay actually give bribe to the examiner also sometimes. Sometimes they give cash, sometimes they give fruits. He was a Christian teacher. They give bribe on Christmas day, Easter day. If the examiner is a Hindu teacher, they give bribe on Diwali day. Why? They want success. Even though they don't deserve it. They want success. They have a common desire in every man's heart. Same way you want prosperity. You are earning now Rs.35 per month. You want Rs.45 per month. You give Rs.45. You want Rs.55. You give Rs.55. You want Rs.75. You give Rs.75 per month. You want Rs.105 per month. Then you want Rs.200. Then Rs.500. Then Rs.1000. Then Rs.3000. Then Rs.5000. Then Rs.5000. Never satisfied. Never satisfied. You want prosperity. When you begin your married life, Oh God, give us only one room and your furniture. Oh Deva, we just need a room and a few things. Oh Lord, give us a room and a few chairs. After two years, Lord, give us two rooms. Oh Lord, give us two rooms. And one table, one chair. One chair and one table. After a few years, Lord, give us two more rooms. Lord, give us two more rooms. Again you find, same answer. And it goes on like this. In business, time, you want prosperity. In business, time, you want prosperity. In life, you want to be successful. Again you will find, never satisfied. But despite these things, you will see that you have no satisfaction. Dear God, what is telling us? How to have true success and true prosperity? The true success will give you everlasting joy and everlasting peace. In the same way, the true prosperity will give you full satisfaction. And that will be for eternity. And yet, how foolish we are in not receiving that gift of God. Similarly, by having that gift of God, Similarly, by having that gift of God, we become very very fruitful like a palm tree. Our time, our energy, our strength, everything will be completely fulfilled. In the same way, our time, our strength and our money will not be in vain. According to the word of God, He is never like wasted. Our Lord does not want to be wasted. As you see in St. John's Gospel, As you see in St. John's Gospel, And chapter 6, And chapter 6, When they were filled, When they were filled, He said unto disciples, When they were filled, He said unto disciples, See how our Lord Jesus Christ has fed a multitude in a barley loaf and two quiches. See how our Lord Jesus Christ has fed a multitude in a barley loaf and two quiches. You know the barley is the most poor man's food. Even in their extreme poverty, if possible, they will never eat barley. Our Lord has a multitude that they feed those barley loaves. They have no leaves to feed them, or the bread, or any plate. They have no leaves to feed them, or the bread, or any plate. Only the tiny fragments were falling on the ground. When they were filled, the Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples, Go and gather the fragments, then nothing will be lost. Now only the fragments are in the body. I have no use. Yet the Lord is saying, go and gather them. Now what happened to those fragments? Too close. Where did they go? They cannot remain there for the birds. Otherwise why waste time in gathering them? Our Lord said, gather them. Don't waste them. Where did they go? The multitude of the Lord proceeded. And they went back home. They had to meet angry mother, angry father, angry husband, angry wife. Where were you for three days? You forgot your home. You forgot your shop. You forgot your wife. You forgot your children. Where were you? Three days. They put that in the mouth. Please see for yourself. That's where we have been. Because those fragments were blessed by Lord Jesus Christ. They became more tasty than biryani. We might purchase. The Lord Jesus Christ does not like wasted. But how many of us waste our time every day, waste our money every month, our energy almost every day. Generally I see people serving food. It can't be the time. And some people say, please give me little more. Still more. But when they start eating, the stomach says, I am full, I am full, I am full. They go on struggling. The master says, take it more, take it more, it's free. Yes, the stomach says, my master, I am very sorry. I am not a bald man. They leave behind the food. It is wasted. They don't know it. Just as many people waste their food that way, same way they waste their time every day and money every day and every day. How many men are spending their money in shameful pleasures? How many women, how many wives waste their money every month because of jealousy or greed or covetousness? They see a neighbour's wife having a very nice body. The husband gets the pay. The wife is very sweet that day. My dear husband, will you give me 35 rupees? Why? I want that saree. If he will say no, then for full one week strike. Husband has to eat. And that's how they waste money. They afford it and they buy it. And you find many Christians, many believers in that today. Because they do not know how to spend their money and time properly. Because they do not know how to spend their money and time properly. Looking this way and that way doing nothing. What's your life? Will you say truthfully, honestly, sincerely and joyfully that your life is abundantly and fully suitable like a palm tree? Will you say truthfully, honestly, sincerely and joyfully that your life is abundantly and fully suitable like a palm tree? If not, be honest and confess it. And say, Lord, You have mercy upon me and forgive me. And make my life abundantly and fully suitable like a palm tree. Full of success, future success and heavenly prosperity. And make me victorious in every way and make me successful in every way. What are the causes which will make our life barren, and how we can grow fruitful? So we see in God was a story of a town called Jericho. The meaning of Jericho is the city of the palm trees. He happened to go to Palestine sometime. And he asked him, can you be sure you've seen Jericho? You'll find here all round desert and barrenness for miles and miles. Hills are barren, the land is barren for miles and miles. But when you enter Jericho, you'll see beautiful palm trees all over the city. Now can we see from God again, how did that city become barren, and how did it eventually become fruitful? That is in God's words. Please see 2nd book of Kings. And from 2nd chapter. From the verse 18. That's all. Now the city of Jericho at that time, these are the last chapter, was barren. He had told over here in God's words, the situation of the city was very pleasant, a very good sight. And also, very well planned. Nice city, nice buildings, nice houses. There's everything plenty, plenty of money. But there was barren. But the land was barren. Because the water was saltish or blackish. They dug many wells, couldn't come a good water. That's why they could not build and grow. They could not grow their grass or vegetables or fruits or anything. Very, very sad sight. This good city, oneself, but barren. Now maybe you are like the city of Jericho. Very educated. Occupying high positions somewhere. Have plenty of money. But your life is barren. You are living your sins. In home, strife. Husband going one way, wife going other way. Children, young and rebellious. At a very young age, hauling you sin and defiling habits. You are falling into sin and defiling habits. No joy in your home, no peace in your home. You know it. You don't require anybody to give you any argument for it. Your own heart tells you. Barren, completely barren. Have you seen how? By one small touch, whole city became fruitful. By one small touch, whole city became fruitful. Ration was God's profit. He said, bring me a new vessel, a new cruise. And put some water, solidified. For twenty. And he said, bring me a new cruise and put salt therein. For twenty-one. And he went forth unto this thing of the water and cast the salt in the air and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters. Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters. And he went forth unto the well of the water and put salt therein and said, He says, I have healed these waters, that they may never die again. Just only a small vessel. Not a very big vessel. Not a very big vessel. We don't know how many wells were there at that time. We don't know how many wells were there. For many years. And every well began to sing, nice good bubbling. And every well began to sing, nice good bubbling. Put the salt. Took away the barrenness of the whole city for miles and miles. Today you go there and you find there is beautiful farm fields in the whole city. It is a wonderful sight. It is a wonderful sight. And if you go there now, you will see the whole city is full of date trees. It is a very pleasant feeling. I went there for the first time a few years ago. I went there for the first time a few years ago. I saw wonderful things there. I saw wonderful things there. It was a wonderful sight of exploration. All around developed and barrenness, but that place still is full of farm fields. All around developed and barrenness, but that place still is full of farm fields. There is a lot of barrenness outside the city. How did the city become barren? How did the game become fruitful? How did the game become fruitful? Please see the book of numbers. Chapter 13. Chapter 28. Never let the people be strong. Never let the people be strong. They have built the land. The cities are bold and very great. We saw the children of Anak there. We saw the children of Anak there. The city had a very high wall. Very very thick high wall. In the olden days, the city had a very high wall for protection. Even Hyderabad you find some parts of the old city, some of the old big walls. But please do not start with the meeting of the walls there. But please do not start with the meeting of the walls there. You will say, when he was talking about the wars of Hyderabad, that we're going to see the Godavari. You can go on the 18th, but not to the congregation. Jericho had high walls. Very, very wealthy city. Inside, very strong men, big guys. In a money sense, they're prosperous. Usually very, very poor. There's so many people there. Visually, they are backward. What's your tradition? Because of the pride, their city came under threat. Now, there's a true story. Even today, you can go and see the ruins of the old wall of Jericho. And God was there. Now, as the great God went on the city seven times, on the seventh day, seven times, he walked right out. You see that? It came to pass at the seventh time, that he was at south. That was his city. That was the first city. Number six. Number twenty. The people shouted and appeased with a trumpet, came to pass and heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted, began to shout, and the wall fell down flat. The wall fell flat. So, being there was an earthquake at that time, the wall won't fall flat. You find some big pile of soil, and there's a site. I'll keep to say here, the wall fell flat. Now, some years ago, we actually dug out the very same site of the same wall. I saw myself that day. Then I seen a very same thing happening after the flat wall. Very high wall. Very thick wall. It fell flat. That's how God broke the upright. That's how God broke the upright. Without using any worldly weapons, it fell flat. That was the very first city of Jericho, which opposed the God's people, as they were coming into the promised land. Even though they knew God was with the people of God, even though they knew God was with the people of God, yet they will not yield and surrender. Book of Joshua, and chapter 2, responsibly, about being justified, by woman called Rahab, the harlot. She was living on the wall of Jericho. Now, the news of the victory of God's people have reached Jericho. They heard about the Red Sea being dried up. They were told it was being dried up. They heard about the Red Sea being dried up. They were not very far from Jericho. They were only 12 miles. In reality, the Jordan River was only 12 miles away. And still, they will not yield and surrender to God's people. Yet, God found one palm tree in whole Jericho, that they have. It must be only one person. He heard about God. And God made a deal. And He repented. As He gave the shelter to the spies in the house. And He gave the shelter to the spies in the house. And chapter 1, and Solomon began to obey Rahab, and Rahab began to obey Ruth, and Ruth began to obey Jesse. Now, the very same palm tree has been planted in the house of God. Now, the very same palm tree has been planted in the house of God. How rich it is! How rich it is! Other people, because of their pride of their wealth, education, position, they became blind spiritually, in darkness. Other people, because of their pride of their wealth, education, education, they became blind spiritually, in darkness. But Rahab, even though she was a harlot, she was humble of self. And she put her trust in God. She put her trust in God. She became a member of the heavenly family. Now, no more harlot. She was the grandmother of Boer. And a great grandmother of King David. And a great grandmother of King David. And you are also a very, very great grandmother. She has become also of a great mother. She was planted in the house of God. And that's why you finally have her name recorded here. You and I was going to be here. You become a member of the heavenly family. And then you will be able to bring forth everlasting fruit for the whole heaven of God. Because of the pride and the blindness, they came in God's church. Because of the pride and the blindness, they came in God's church. Joshua, Aaron, and the other twenty-six. And Joshua told them at that time, saying, Christ will be the man before the Lord. The building of the city Jericho is the foundation thereof. The building of the city Jericho is the foundation thereof. Because of their pride and stubbornness, they came in the church of God. Because of their pride and stubbornness, they came in the church of God. They were depending upon their high walls and their joints for victory and protection. They walked head down only by faith. They walked head down only by faith. Now after many years, Now after many years, Elijah and Elisha are now coming into Jericho. Elijah and Elisha are now coming into Jericho. The second king and the second chieftain. The second king and the second chieftain. And verse five. And the son of the prophet, Jericho, came to Elijah and said to him, And the son of the prophet, Jericho, came to Elijah and said to him, Lord will take away thy master from the head today. And he asked, Yea, I know it. Hold ye in your peace. And Elijah and the other disciples of the tribe of Bashas, And Elijah and the other disciples of the tribe of Bashas, came to Elijah and said to him, Do you know that he will take away thy master from the head? He said, yea, I know it. Hold ye in your peace. And fifteen men of the son of the prophet came and stood formally And they stood by the order. What is the your dharma, Gandhiji? Just as Elixir knew God was going to take Elixir into heaven by burden. Just as the other son of prophet Jericho, he also knew. But they were nobody. When they saw Elixir accompanying Elijah on the journey, he, son of prophet, tried to hinder them, hinder Elixir from going to Elijah. Don't you know that he will be called to heaven? And he will leave you somewhere in the wilderness. Why do you want to go with him? They themselves have no desire to accompany Elijah. Even though Elijah was a supreme master. But these young men have no intention, no desire to follow him. At the same time, they are trying to prevent Elijah from going after Elijah. That's how miracles are. They themselves have no longing to follow Jesus. When they see you going, they hinder you. You are also going to Hebron. You become foolish. They go on till ten o'clock, eleven o'clock for the people there. They have no time, no crowd. Right about ten o'clock, lunch five o'clock, don't know what. Who is going there? We are not fool like you. That's how these young men were trying to prevent Elijah. But he went on. There were fifty men standing by the river Jordan. Elijah went along further. Beyond the river Jordan. He saw Elijah being caught up in a whirlwind of heaven. He saw Elijah's mantle falling down. Elijah took the mantle. He returned. He took the water of Jordan and poured it. And he saw how Elisha took Elijah's mantle and hit the Jordan river. Now these fifty men have come to meet Elijah. They see now from verse sixteen. And when the sun was out of profits, it was to view that Jericho saw him. They said, And they came to meet him and bowed themselves down before him. And they have seen a mighty miracle being performed by Elijah. And the river was flooded. They came to him. Surely the spirit of God is upon you. And they bowed before him. What a hypocrisy. And they said to him, And they said unto him, Behold, now they be with thy fifty strong men. Let them go and pray thee. Sing thy master. Speak the Lord. Speak the Lord. And they said unto him, Behold, now they be with thy fifty strong men. Let them go and pray thee. And they said unto him, Behold, now they be with thy fifty strong men. Without a doubt they had to admit Ilaja, Ilaja, Sai Ilaja, to be Howard. They said to him, we are going to give you 50 strong men. You go and search for the body Ilaja, in some mountain area somewhere. There is no doubt he went to heaven, but he could not go all the way. Thank God we have found the body somewhere else. We will go with you. Search for the body. Have a very grand funeral. You find seven of your friends also. Your friends same way. You find that lifetime they do not talk with you. Even though you are very very ill, they never came to see you. When you are in trouble they never care for you. But when you die, they come with a funeral. Poor man, very good man, very nice man, they walk with the whole funeral. He is a funeral Christian. Dead Christian. In darkness and shame and misery. Living a life of barrenness. They are the sons of prophets. But no faith. They have no knowledge. No faith. How can the body go all the way to heaven? It must have fallen somewhere. That will create doubt in the mind of Ilaja. Doubt. Unbelief. That is why Jericho became barren. He had knowledge. Prosperity. High walls. Very big building. Very strong body. But no faith. Unbelief. Doubt. And that is why the city became barren. Now they all have come to Ilaja afterwards. Now we are very sorry. Now we believe what you saw was right. Ilaja had gone to heaven. Now please have mercy upon us. Our city is barren. Nice building, good road, high wall, but no water. All barren water. All cities and houses are barren. But the water is sour. Then Ilaja said, bring me a new pot. And he put a salt inside. And pour that salt in a spring nearby. All the spring and the well were filled completely. And from that day it became city of palm trees. And from that day it became city of palm trees. New joy came there. And they found everything green everywhere. A new vessel. And salt. Now salt in the Bible speaks of everlasting life. So when you want to keep butter for a longer time, put salt inside. That is why when you make a pickle, put more salt. Even last long time. That is how you can preserve the leather and the other things. Salt can increase the life of everything. So start this symbol of new life. Namaste. You are becoming a new creature. Enlarge yourself. You become like a palm tree. A palm tree. And there comes a new life into you. Only a small quantity of salt. Yet it brought you life in so many springs and so many wells. And that is how your life can become. There you go. You radiate light and life and blessing and joy and peace. And that is how you become peaceful. So you change life. You will find many more. Heavenly joy and heavenly peace wherever you go. Unchanged life can change many more lives. Has your life become like a palm tree? Completely your life has become like a palm tree. You have become mentally fully fruitful. Even though maybe like a ray of heartless. To your faith God can make you like a palm tree. Till today you are like a barren tree. Full of thorns and thistles and no life, no goodness. And now it can become like a palm tree. February 1131. I faced the harm that they have. I did not with them, I believe not. And he has seen the size of the peace. February 1131. It is for this. First he was saved. And to our whole family was saved. And to them many more were saved. Our name is recorded in the theology of Lord Jesus Christ. Our name is recorded in the theology of Lord Jesus Christ. He died many years ago. He died many years ago. But till today her name, her life is bringing joy unto many hearts. Many are finding true faith in your life. We have been planted, planted in the house of God forever. Now there is much more to be said regarding the flood house of God. We live in this time. But now we request you, don't be like a dairy cow with barrenness and ungoodness. The city of prosperity, wealth, high wealth, but down spiritually. And now by a new vessel and a salt, no city is saved. And today you go and see for yourself, hundreds of palm trees everywhere. The curse of sin has been removed. The curse of the barrenness is gone. When these men became humble themselves and repented and believed in the word of God. And that is how this life can come to an end. By receiving, by welcoming the Lord Jesus Christ, by simple faith, you can save yourself. I will go on changing you. Are you finding the light of God spreading out all directions? And your words and your deeds will bring forth everlasting fruit. Your yay will be yay, your nay will be nay. You won't even waste one single day of your life. Everything you do and spend will bring forth everlasting results. And you will see many more palm fields around you. Go come unto Him. And don't delay. Let us pray. Will you call it remain prayer for a moment? God is speaking to you. Your life is barren. And very unfruitful. This evening you want to become like a palm tree. You want to live completely from the past barrenness. You want your words and your deeds to bring forth everlasting fruit. Now you are sorry for the past sins. You want the life of the Lord to be poured into you. You want to become a new creature, a new crucifix. And by a simple baby's two hands, we want to send this card to you.

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.
