“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 1:3-4.
God is good and faithful, true and sure. Amen; but to ensure you enjoy God’s gracious, graceful, goodness and faithfulness, you must ABIDE and BOND with these three elements – HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE – in order to make and ensure life is worth living. For together, in an abounding state, they help to enhance the essence of living and fulfilling God’s driven purpose in us meaningfully.
“And now abide FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13.
Therefore, don’t give up due to any person or circumstances in ensuring that these three elements in the grace are your driven power in the grace:
- WORK OF FAITH
- LABOUR OF LOVE
- PATIENCE OF HOPE.
And for these three gracious elements to keep you above the waters of life in the grace, it thus means you:

- Don’t just LABOUR, let it be the – LABOUR OF LOVE and
- Don’t just be PATIENT, let it be the – PATIENCE OF HOPE. For in time your expectations shall be and will not be cut off
I wish you every grace and blessings in every way as you choose to stop living a contrary life style of WORK without FAITH, LABOUR without LOVE and PATIENCE without HOPE; but resolve to do life and live godly in the grace, with the principle of the WORK OF FAITH, LABOUR OF LOVE and PATIENCE OF HOPE.
