They tend to focus on others and on God, thus denying self (and egos and agendas, etc). I don't think the "fruits of the Spirit" have EVER put anyone in the limelight. In fact, the fruits SHY AWAY from the limelight.
That's why. IMO, of course.  |
Good points how many times do we hear pastors urging the believer to seek God,till the fruit of the Spirit are developed in their lives ?
People in the workplace never hear us speak in tongues,yet they see what manner of disposition we manifest amongs't them.
When we are baptized with The Holy Ghost do we not receive power to manifest the fruit of The Holy Ghost ?
