YOUR HEART TOWARDS FELLOW CHRISTIANS
It’s good to note that the word instruction could also be interpreted as commanded. God gave Ten Commandments through Moses. Jesus came and said all commandments are fulfilled in these two which are love God and love your neighbours. So many Christians had kept most of the directly written commandments but had failed in their heart towards their fellow Christians. God is out here treating every heart condition and perfecting it. The condition of your heart will be taken to the laboratory room of The Most High God as he perfects it. In this very special edition of Voices From Zion written from Colossians 1:9. Titled: YOUR HEART TOWARDS FELLOW CHRISTIANS written from Colossians 1:9 which says For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
For you to enjoy a perfect heart towards others and maintain healthy conscience;
- Avoid Competitions: Competition is all about doing better than others, wanting to be first, wanting to be the winner, labouring harder to be the great. If there is any competition that should be allowed in Christendom; it should be competition in getting holier than others. In competition people look for ways to push others off their track or push them down. God’s word in Hebrew 12:1 says Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, even when the devil begin to pump your heart with self worth and pride, let the following scriptures also come to your mind; 1 Corinthians 3:2-3 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. *For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
- Avoid Mocking God’s Act (Miracles): Celebrate testimonies either. Don’t question God’s omnipotent power; truly some testimonies are hard to believe, but if you allow the Spirit of God, you will know the genuine. Romans 8:14, 16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. *The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Don’t ever mock miracles it will deaden your heart towards your fellow Christians. It makes you rebellious unto God. It gets your bondage stronger. Hardly will you find the poor wishing the rich well except some goodies are coming to the poor from the rich. Even when wealthy people are challenged the poor around them may resort to their wealth believing they can sort themselves. If suddenly someone who had been looking up to God for a particular thing got visited, how will your reaction be to such person especially if you are on the line waiting for exact thing to happen for you?. Most times in the testimonies of others is yours. Always celebrate and accept miracles wholeheartedly.
- Avoid Tracking: Many always look for the mistakes of others, stop! It will drive people away from you, and in no time people won’t want to associate with you because your action will repel blessings. Journey in Christianity should be by mercy, grace and endurance, and every leader in the body of Christ needs wisdom to rule well, not input unrighteousness unto people. The truth is that no matter the level of our walk with God, we’re still humans. Bible records in Psalms 8:4-5 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? *For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. We are not angels but humans. So our life in Christianity is by faith. May God grant you deeper understanding today in Jesus name.
Now what are the actions, reactions and virtues that prove good heart towards your fellow Christians?
- Wish Others Well: Anyone who brings curse as greeting will not be welcomed Matthew 10:12-13. Wish others well always. The whole of the gospel is referred to as good news of great joy Luke 2:10 people will be very careful of you, if you don’t wish them well, especially during their days of joy; you are not expected to frown your face in a wedding ceremony, even if you are the watch or security personnel, neither does it speaks well of you to be weeping when a new baby is born, wish others well. Some are so bitter and that’s why their life is full of all kinds of un-accomplishment, delay, denial and all forms of evil you can think of. Wish others well and in no time it will be your turn to celebrate. Action attracts. Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
- Minister to the needs of others: These scriptures are very important and powerful:1 Timothy 6:17-19, 2 Corinthians 8:1-7 you mustn’t watch your fellow Christians in need you can meet. Minister to others from your substance, some can give money, food, used clothes (but not new ones). Start to give good things to God’s people in need not treating fellow Christians as if they are beggars. Note that your earthly family has earthly barrier (and end here) but your kingdom family after life. Don’t be a killer of dreams, waster of destinies and bringer of troubles. We have so many individual using the blessings of God to promote destruction. Most of the killer groups are made up of the children of the poor; who is buying them guns?
- Pray for others: Luke 22:31-32. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: *But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. This is the only investment that cannot be mis-invested. You can mis-invest your money and materials but not prayers for others in challenges without ceasing. The main link between one Christian and another is the love you have for them. If you love your fellow Christian you will pray for them especially when in great trials. As a good Christian you are to always
- Pray for Christians and churches in the midst of insurgence.
- Pray for Christian missionary.
- Pray for challenged brethren in the body of Christ.
Don’t Wait
Until they tell you their problems, moved in, don’t feel reluctant to help fellow Christians in any challenge. A Christian brother saw a car wrecked under a trailer, knowing fully well that the driver was a Christian, waded in and the driver was rescued. So many girls out there would have become harlots and young men become terrorists if not for God’s children who came in at the right time to help. Don’t wait to be told, once you know it do something fast. Job 29:11-13…I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. Be the angel Act 12:1-7, 11 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him…And his chains fell off from his hands.
Act as an angel of God, move until you get accomplished, don’t stop. At times someone may be in a situation where there is no helper for him. In some part of the world where abduction and using human for ritual is a common trade. When they carry people to an unknown place, help out if you can. Most would have been stripped naked with their gadgets collected. You need to act like angels in some places. Let your appearance in some places be like that of an angel, don’t watch lives waste away. You may be opportune to hear of an evil plan, puncture it before it materializes.
Your Heart Towards Fellow Christians Will be Tested. Fellow Christians not fellow church members! Assembly and doctrines may be different but it’s the same Jesus, that died for our sin.
Prophetic Declaration: As you do accordingly; all curses in your life shall be destroy. All denial and delay shall be destroy. Jesus cares!

GOOD REPORTS:
Sir I want to say that our talking together for sometimes now is actually an answered to my prayers because I had fallen into all kinds of errors because the only Christian brother I had that was building me up and teaching me the way of the Lord fell out of the way when he was deceived and impregnated a lady which really affected his standing in the Lord. Recently sir I was tired of life and thought of ending it because almost everything is at a stand-still, while been sorrowful and depressed something told me to go and pick up the bulletin you gave me, I did. As I was reading it which was titled Voices From Zion: Rendered The Devil Powerless I became free from worries and anxiety and my senior sister called me to witness a young man that committed suicide. Just because of being threaten over one million naira debt, he ended it all by snuffing life out of himself. I thank God for my life, and currently things has started changing for my good, in-fact God is good to me. Dan. D
Praise God, last week I was as at home weak and not willing to really do anything but I kept on hearing make yourself available, so I came down to Ile Iwe to share Voices From Zion on my way back home, I couldn’t feel the pain or weakness anymore. On another occasion, I wanted to go out and share this our bulletin but my junior sister was very sickly and I was to stay with her at home, so I just laid my hands on her and pray for her that she will be heal, though no sign after I prayed. I went out sharing Voices From Zion, On my way back home I saw her playing in front of the house with no sign of Sickness. I return all glory to God. Olubukola. K
First Fellowship last year the servant of the Lord stood here praying for us and the Lord said to me that I should give to the production of Voices From Zion every month this year but I wonder where the money will come from, not quiet long I got some money and I was able to give it, now we are in December I gave all through the year without feeling it. Also God has so much bless me financially and spiritual which I cannot quantify neither qualify for. Thank you Jesus. Adeyemo. E
