Worship and Lord's Table - Part 2 — Bakht Singh

We bring to you, in this CD, the worship message by the Lord's Servant for Bhagat Singh on 7th November 1965 during the Hyderabad Holy Convocation held at Epburn, Hyderabad.

Christ's Return and the Hope of Glory

We promise the very thing, we have done a good work in you, we'll perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Now, before we go to worship, we do want to remind you, from God's word if you promise it. Lord Jesus Christ Himself said that He will come again.

And we have been reminded again and again that He is coming quickly. And He is coming again, the work which He Himself began in us, be perfected or completed. 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. 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, the coming wrath.

But all those who sinned are forgiven and we are indwell with the Lord Jesus Christ, for them that day is the happiest day. And that's why in Colossians 1 .27, the Lord also called the hope of glory. To whom God would make known, for it is of the glory of the mystery among the Gentiles, Jesus Christ in you, a dope of glory.

For that purpose He is called the hope of glory. For that purpose He is called the hope of glory. For that purpose He is called the hope of glory. When He appears second time, according to promise, we are going to be glorified together on that day.

When He appears second time, according to promise, we are going to be glorified together on that day. You can see that in the 2nd chapter of 1st Thessalonians, verse 12, that He would walk worthy of God, who would call you unto His kingdom and glory.

You can see that in the 2nd chapter of 1st Thessalonians, verse 12, that He would walk worthy of God, who would call you unto His kingdom and glory. Romans 8 .17. And if children none here, he is of God, and John is Christ.

If so be it, suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. And if children none here, he is of God, and John is Christ. If so be it, suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

If so be it, suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. If we really want to love the Lord and follow Him, then we have to be prepared for any kind of suffering or hardship or trial. If we really want to love the Lord and follow Him, then we have to be prepared for any kind of suffering or trial.

If we really want to love the Lord and follow Him, then we have to be prepared for any kind of suffering or trial. Also very modern, 2nd Timothy 3 .12. Also very modern, 2nd Timothy 3 .12. All that live godly in Christ, shall suffer persecution.

All that live godly in Christ, shall suffer persecution. We will be hated and despised and persecuted. We will be hated and despised and persecuted. Without receiving His life in an abundant and full measure, none of us can bear those sufferings.

Without receiving His life in an abundant and full measure, none of us can bear those sufferings. By faith we have to receive into us in a full measure the same life. By faith we have to receive into us in a full measure the same life.

Christ as Spiritual Food and Life

When we take part in the bread and the cup, Sunday by Sunday, by faith. When we take part in the bread and the cup, Sunday by Sunday, by faith. We testify in symbolic manner how the Lord Jesus Himself has become unto us our meat and our drink.

We testify in symbolic manner how the Lord Jesus Himself has become unto us our meat and our drink. When we don't get our physical food, the body feels weak. When we don't get our physical food, the body feels weak.

Our body is so made, it demands food twice or thrice a day. You cannot eat just once a week or once a month or once in one year. You cannot eat just once a week or once a month or once in one year. The body demands food every day.

The same way also we require the spiritual food not only twice a day but many times a day. We don't have to wait for the food time or the meal time for spiritual food. We don't have to wait for the food time or the meal time for spiritual food.

Whenever we feel hungry spiritually or tired spiritually or weak spiritually, the same moment we can claim that food. Whenever we feel hungry spiritually or tired spiritually or weak spiritually or weak spiritually, the same moment we can claim that food.

The Lord Jesus Himself in John 6. The Lord Jesus Himself in John 6 and He was Britisher. A living Father has sent me and I live by the Father. He has sent me, eateth me, even He shall live by me. Just as the living Father has sent me and I live by the Father, the one who eats me shall live by me.

He that eateth me shall live by me. The one who eats me shall live by me. The one who eats me shall live by me. This has been repeated 8 times since the 50th verse. Our Lord Jesus has become our spiritual food.

Our Lord Jesus has become our spiritual food. By faith we take that life into us. At our new birth, He became our life. At our new birth, He became our life. He became our wisdom. He Himself became our righteousness.

He Himself is our sufficient healer. He Himself is our sufficient healer. He Himself is our sufficient healer. Now He has become to us very effective by faith. Now He has become to us very effective by faith.

As we face our trials and temptations, come to all mankind, we claim their strength day by day. And being a spiritual food can only be eaten by our spirit. And being a spiritual food can only be eaten by our spirit.

We have a spirit, also we have soul and body. When body is sick, it cannot have proper food. When body is sick, it cannot have proper food. How the fever and sickness takes away the normal appetite for the food.

When body is sick, it cannot have proper food. You force yourself and have the food, you become worse. You force yourself and have the food, you become worse. We have to keep our spirit healthy to enjoy spiritual food.

We have to keep our spirit healthy to enjoy spiritual food. And that's why our Lord Himself has ordained the table. And that's why our Lord Himself has ordained the table. Now spiritually keep healthy and fresh and strong.

Now spiritually keep healthy and fresh and strong. When we are together as celebrators, When we are together as celebrators, we are in a better position to know our true condition. You find those weaknesses and failures and shortcomings.

We can't be alone or brought to our attention when we are together. We can't be alone or brought to our attention when we are together. When you are at home alone, you don't mind putting on any old shirt.

When you are at home alone, you don't mind putting on any old shirt. But if you are very, very bad, when you go out, it's the same thing outside. Even though nobody will look at you, but you feel, see, everybody will get my lesson.

And you feel miserable. That's why when you go outside, you make sure you have nice clean clothes. We want to be clean among ourselves together. Now you find that when you are together, you are in a better position.

So see your inward shot coming in a failure. I can't do a lot of promise. When two or three are gathered in name, he is nameless. And we find, by experience, we feel is a fellow very strongly when we come together in the name.

And that's why all our hidden sins are uncovered at that time. And we will feel restless till those things are confessed and proclaimed. So by his help, by his grace, all things must be put right, then you take part.

So by his help, by his grace, all things must be put right, then you take part. And that's why we take part together in making of bread. Now our Lord is coming back again, that he may give us all what he has.

Sharing Christ's Glory Through Suffering

He wants us to take up his glory. He wants us to take up his glory. So you want to be a partaker of his glory, then you also must be willing to be a partaker of his suffering. So you want to be a partaker of his glory, then you also must be willing to be a partaker of his suffering.

In the wicked world, you find, you want to obey the Lord fully, you are going to be despised or hated or persecuted or mocked by those who don't want to live your life. In the wicked world, you find, you want to obey the Lord fully, you are going to be despised or hated or persecuted or mocked by those who don't want to live your life.

For example, in India, a very common thing for the police to take bribe. And we all work together. We all have a common share. The ordinary constable, chief constable, sub-inspector, inspector, superintendent, they all have their share.

The ordinary constable, chief constable, chief constable, sub-inspector, inspector, superintendent, they all have their share. They all are supposed to bring their bribes together and then divide it.

They all are supposed to bring their bribes together and then divide it. 25 for the inspector, 10 for the sub-inspector, 5 for the constable. 25 for the inspector, 10 for the sub-inspector, 5 for the constable.

If you take bribe, then you are persecuted by them. If you take bribe, then you are persecuted by them. They bring a false charge against you. They may affect your promotion or your transfer. They may affect your promotion or your transfer.

Even in the railway. Even in the railway. Station master, ASM, booking clerk, goods clerk, altogether. Station master, ASM, booking clerk, goods clerk, altogether. Now you got to take a very strong stand.

Now you got to take a very strong stand. Even though you are not going to get your promotion, you have to take a stand for law and order. Even though you are not going to get your promotion, you have to take a strong stand for law and order.

Many school teachers have to give a fast attendance to keep up the number. So, how many teachers are there, they tell false numbers of attendance, so that they can come to investigate and show that their attendance is equal.

You refuse to give your father's attendance, then the administration will trouble you. You refuse. If the administration demands, you must give your father's attendance to give a good report to the inspector.

So, for a believer, it is a very hard thing. But we have to do it, do so joyfully. Oh, no one knows how to reward us. First Peter chapter 5 verse 4. First Peter 5 verse 4. Lord Jesus Christ will give you the same crown.

Lord Jesus Christ will give you the same crown. That's why we really take for loss a book. To receive extra strength which we require, withstand all these temptations and be prepared for the economic glory.

To receive extra strength which we require, withstand all these temptations and be prepared for the economic glory. At the same time, we are reminded by one law, how we have become one in Lord Jesus Christ.

Unity at the Lord's Table and Denominational Barriers

All the enemy has tried to bring divinity and parties among us children. All the enemy has tried to bring divinity and parties among us children. Instead of keeping the law stable, it has become a man's table.

Instead of keeping the law stable, it has become a man's table. There are people called Anglicans. They say, unless you are confirmed by your so-called bishop, you can't take part in the so-called Holy Communion.

They say, unless you are confirmed by your so-called bishop, you can't take part in the so-called Holy Communion. They say, unless you are confirmed by your so-called bishop, you can't take part in the so-called Holy Communion.

You may be a smoker, you may be a drunkard or a dulterer. You are confirmed, you can take part. You may be a smoker, you may be a drunkard or a dulterer. You are confirmed, you can take part. The first was they don't know what bishop is.

How they have to see people, they are cutting away by the one word bishop. How they have to see people, they are cutting away by the one word bishop. In the Bible, the word bishop is only meant for an elder or an overseer.

In the Bible, the word bishop is only meant for an elder or an overseer. 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. 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. Now that word only used once in God's word. Act 14 .22. Act 14 .22. Confirming the souls of the disciples and exhorting them to continue in the faith, we must do much tribulation and again of God.

Confirming. Act 14 .22. Confirming. Acts 14 .22. Acts 14 .22. Now they were to be confirmed by teaching, not by laying of hands. Now they were to be confirmed by teaching, not by laying of hands. But they have brought a very very wrong teaching of confirmation.

But they have brought a very very wrong teaching of confirmation. And they believe that by their hands they receive Holy Spirit. And they believe that by their hands they receive Holy Spirit. But they are not having holy spirit.

But the truth is that many of their bishops also have holy spirit. They are smokers, full of greed, how they are blinded, 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 the whole world. And nobody can teach them anything else. And they say unless 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 part.

People can be warned to examine themselves and study their hearts. But we cannot answer their hearts. We don't know what is in their hearts. But if we have a proof of anybody living in the state, then we are justified in saying don't take part.

Examining Ourselves Before Communion

This is the last table. That's why you see it in the middle there. And I want to remind you how before our Lord we are equally precious. Partially by the same blood. In His eyes we are equally precious.

Every believer has an equally important ministry in the house of God. When we take part bodily, we will be able to find out also what is your particular place in the house of God. And you will be able to put away even the least thing which is giving the Holy Spirit.

And when you have your tea or your food, you won't fly enough to make you vomit. Many years ago I bought some food at the station. I saw only one fly in one small dish. So I took a spoon and threw it out.

Then Vasanth we don't eat that food. I said I have paid money for it. Why waste it? Straight away I threw it away. So I have already thrown away the fly. It won't do any harm. So I threw myself and had the food.

Out of hope he came up. I thought I will save it for the 25th of April. I thought I will save it for the 25th of April. But after that 25th of April I lost everything. There are some small things in our life.

You might say there is no harm. But the Holy Spirit will tell you they are harmful. But the Holy Spirit will tell you they are harmful. So when an ordinary person gives any advice, we don't take much of it.

So when an ordinary person gives any advice, we don't take much of it. But when you are given the same advice by a good doctor or a specialist. Then you obey that advice. Your wife says don't take too much sugar.

You never care for it. But doctor says don't take. But doctor says don't take. Don't take so much salt. Don't know. Don't take so much blood pressure. Don't take so much blood pressure. So it is quite natural.

We pay more attention to those persons who have got authority. Our Lord has all authority. All power is given to me. So when we are together, we are conscious of the presence. Love and sacrifice. It is the power of authority.

Man and his glory. That is why whatever it says, we obey it. And that is why we spend some time in worship before taking part in Lord's table. At the same time, to be prepared for the day of glory. And the more we thank Him, the more we are 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. And after our prayer, we have a song, then we go to worship. Now mothers with their babies, please stay at the back and not anywhere in the middle field.

Mothers with their babies, please stay at the back and not anywhere in the middle field. Others look sideways in a straight line. Otherwise it will be very difficult to pass the bread. Otherwise it will be very difficult to pass the 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 turn all your children at the back for the purpose.
