Many Years In Church Won't Make You Mature

That's where Elisha was when he received the portion of the Spirit. He didn't just receive the mantle, he also received a new responsibility.

So do you know how we actually mature in the church?

Not by how many years you've been here. Twenty years in the church doesn't make you mature.

Do you know what makes you mature? Submitting to responsibility, taking it on, assuming it as your own.

Because when you take responsibility, that's when you start to learn. You mess up, and you discover, oh, you don't do it that way.

So how many of us want to be used by God? Then turn to the person next to you and say, take responsibility.

Many of us want the power of God, but few want the responsibility that comes with that power.

And that's what it means to be developed in the character of God. Many of us want miracles. Maturity asks for more.
