Be A Seeker of Truth | Prophet Philip Banda


  • Everyone lies to his neighbor.
  • You are like this because of your neighbor’s lies and you also lie to your neighbor.
  • Many people give their word but they don't keep their words.
  • What word did you give to someone that you never kept, now you are in bondage?
  • John 3:1-2
  • Before you speak do you find out the truth?
  • Before you say yes do you find out the truth?
  • Before you say no, is it based on truth?
  • How do you make conclusions not based on truth, how is your life going to be?
  • By the time Nicodemus went to Jesus Christ , he was coming from discussing Him with people.
  • That's why when he came to Jesus, he said; “We know…” but he was alone, that means they discussed Him, the whole group, but he said; “Hmm I want to find out the truth.”
  • The Bible says he came to Him by night but when he was speaking, he was a crowd.
  • Many, many people, because of what they hear, they develop love.
  • Also many, many people because of what they hear they develop hatred.
  • You are here now, you heard people said something about someone whom you have never met but you are hating them.
  • 1st Thessalonians 5:21
  • This instruction is not against listening to others; what they say or read about others.
  • It advises —  Investigate, examine and find out whether what this one is saying is true or false.
  • People just come and say; Be careful! Be careful of what, based on what?
  • Is it based on love, is it not based on envy, is it not based on where you are going?
  • There are families here, no one has made a mark on this earth. Now when one breaks loose, are they going to say; “Go ahead!” ?
  • Some of you, you are supposed to have excelled in life but now there you are, you didn't test the words, you just believe them.
  • Why are you lying about your circumstances, why don't you speak the truth?
  • To be transparent, to be honest go to the person, don't discuss the person.
  • This is what Nicodemus did, he heard about Jesus Christ and he did want to make a haste conclusion like some of you do.
  • You are in trouble now because of your quick conclusion.
  • Nicodemus followed what is Biblical; 
  • John 7:3-5
  • Look, these are Jesus’ brothers, I don't know about your brothers or sisters, don't say it’s not there in our family, you are a big liar.
  • You have not found out the truth, it is written so that we learn, so that you are aware, Watch and pray.
  • His brothers were discussing Him; “He wants to be popular, he wants to be famous, he wants to be a celebrity.”
  • It is clear that people did not understand Jesus, and that caused them not to believe in Him.
  • His brothers did not say; “Show yourself to the world, out of love, they were saying it out of hatred.
  • How about you, how many things have you said in the name of “warning”, in the name of “caring”, in the name of “because we are family”, because no one loves you more than me, “We are coming from Zambia saying this because you are Zambian.”

 

  • They did not believe in Jesus Christ that’s why they were saying this and that, all sorts of things not out of live but out of hatred.
  • They thought they had the same things, same approach, same attitude, “so Jesus should be like us!”
  • What people do not understand, they call names. What they understand they destroy.
  • If people say they know you, you are finished.
