5- Giving: The expression of love is giving (for God so loved the world that he gave...) and you will never find a mature Christian who doesn't give to God and man, whether it's by giving his talents, time, money whatever, you will always find him willing to give. He doesn't give his tithe and say, "God I've given you what my pastor says I should give" then goes on to gratify his flesh with the rest of his money. By walking with God, the mature Christian has developed his heart and is a cheerful giver. God loves cheerful givers.

6- Peace making: Jesus himself said in Matthew 5:9-10, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Now you will never see the most mature Christians promoting retaliation because they will always leave God to fight their battles or them. We all know Jesus said if someone should slap you on the right cheek turn the left one for him to slap you on that one, we all know Jesus said that but we act as of he didn't and that's why there's little power at work in our lives.

7- Humility: you know these days we have a false understanding of humility; people mistake gentleness and kindness for humility and what you have are irritating people that will just want to do everything for you to make you see them as a humble person. It's almost like they're saying, "yeah I can behave like pastor Adeboye too" and the annoying thing is that when someone doesn't behave like that, everybody says that person isn't humble, women suffer from this stereotype more, and a woman that knows what she wants will be insulted even by women. But know that nobody can truly be prospered by God of they're not humble, God hates a proud look. Humility is simply submission to God and his Word, if God says submit to one another (which he does) then submit to one another, if God says treat elders with respect them do that. Also if God says forgive and you refuse and keep on holding to a grudge, people need to understand that's pride. Mature people understand this and submit themselves to God, God prospers in return.

That's all but you will note that I didn't give direct instructions like, "fast every week." The reason is that you don't want people to start getting religious but you can look at anybody you admire and you should find these traits. If you don't, you have someone who claims what he is not. Remember it's not about speaking but about doing, so spirituality is not who can shout the most in church. If you have any more traits to add to the list or you want to comment on any one of the ones listed, feel free to comment below.

CELEBRATE YOU!!!
