In Mark 8:11-12, we read of a group of Pharisees asking for a sign. Jesus asked, “Why does this generation seek a sign?”
Today, many people seek “the gifts of the Spirit.” They will travel to a service or a conference to hear someone who operates in “the gifts.”
My question for those constantly seeking “the gifts” is, “Why does this generation seek gifts?”
Too many people want the gifts of the Spirit but not the fruit of the Spirit. I want to challenge this generation to quit seeking the gifts of the Spirit and instead work to produce the fruit of the Spirit. I believe that if we focus on producing the fruit of the Spirit, we will eventually operate in the gifts of the Spirit.
