How to Turn Your Trials into Testimonies

Trials don’t necessarily have to be bad, that’s why verse 2 of James chapter 1 admonishes us to ‘count it all joy’ when we are faced with various trials. This admonition immediately suggests that we ought to be welcoming of trials, to embrace trials, to rejoice at trials. Why so? Because there is a HOW to turn your trials into testimonies.

Yes, that fire you seem to be walking through today, can be prelude for your promotion.

Trials, tests, temptations shouldn’t break us, they shouldn’t make us loose faith or throw in the towel, abandon God or our faith, because as we see in James 1:3, trials come to build patience and strength of character in us.

Question is: how can a temptation bring promotion?

Because as we may know, temptations come to make us sin against God.

Yes, temptations do come from the enemy but God only permits them because He expects us to act according to His Word in order to overcome. God doesn’t TEMPT us, He tests us and He may permit temptations. When God permits temptations, He expects us to make Him proud and come out victorious, strong. 
Halleluyah!

On the otherhand, God TESTS us, and unlike temptations which come from the enemy to make us sin, Tests from God act as refining or purifying processes with the intended aim of building character, patience, perseverance, subsequently leading to perfection and completeness.

This is what we read in James 1 verse 3….
“knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” James 1:3, NKJV
