The Battles You Must Win: Maturing Faith Through Perseverance

In this Wisdom Digest, Pastor Olanrewaju reminds us that faith is forged in struggle, not comfort. Through every test, Christ strengthens our trust and shapes our character until we lack nothing. Drawing on James 1:2–4 and 1 Peter 5:10, we learn that trials produce patience, wisdom, and stability. Mature faith emerges when we rely on Christ through hardship, celebrating growth over ease. Practical steps include embracing challenges as growth opportunities, praying for patience, standing on God’s Word, and speaking faith into every struggle. Remember, Christ models perfect trust and rewards those who remain steadfast (James 1:12, Revelation 2:10). Ask yourself: Do my trials deepen my trust in Jesus or drive me away? Commit today to persevere, allowing God to perfect your patience and character. For prayer and counseling, contact our church office.
