THE GIVING OF THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBERANCE: KNOWING THAT YOUR WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE ARE NOT IN VAIN!
There is sufficient cause to remain steadfast, unmoveable and abounding in God’s Kingdom cause in your life in the Lord, as you keep on keeping, on the gracious and graceful kingdom rewarding purpose for you as written:
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.
There is the cause to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERANCE for the essence of three gracious and graceful acts in your life in the LORD and His Kingdom advancement. These are:
* The (Your) Work of Faith
* The (Your) Labor of Love
* The (Your) Patience of Hope
You need to give thanks to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step, to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business; and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.
Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.
I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SOME SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 (Emphasis Mine).
“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (Emphasis Mine).
“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine).
“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.
