WOL DEVOTIONAL POEM
You’re the branches I’m the vine Make you holy, I’m Divine Your Good Shepherd I remain All the way, its for your gain Very good as reference Which one is your preference? To the second some agree! He’s our constant guarantee There is loading on the first Branches may suffer some thirst If the fruit they fail to bear From the vine will be their tear They will soon be out of tune As they enter in a prune You meet your world’s desire Forever burn in fire
Attached to Him you must keep He’s your life where you won’t weep His life flows into each one Through His Word, the Father’s Son From your Lord keep drawing strength Continuous through all length As you pray communicate To Him listen, learn to wait Love for Christ, Him do obey Don’t be sheep that go astray As His body remain one While His will is being done Holy Spirit gives you fruit Shows you always the true route As you eat Spiritual food Christ the way, the life, the truth

1 THESS 4:11-12
One of the most important needs for humans is serenity, peace of mind, and calmness. In the hectic life we live in, it seems to be difficult. However, this has always been the case. Paul encouraged the Thessalonian to “aspire a to live quietly.” He then goes on by addressing issues that some members of the church were facing. One of them was “mind your own affairs.” This does not mean we do not become concerned about other people’s needs. The Bible does teach to seek other’s well-being (1 Cor. 10:24). Paul here refers simply to not interfering in other people’s affairs or in things that do not concern us. Experience teaches that meddling in other people’s business without asking or without permission can easily lead us into unnecessary conflicts. If we are genuinely concerned and want to help, prayer is the best place to start. The rest will follow!
aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you, so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

THE VALUE OF THE GOSPEL
It's very kind of funny that I'm doing a quarantine period and how much time I have on my hands, time doing nothing. And I would compare this to our children and their spiritual walk. In our daily lives and routine without COVID, we barely find time to pray and spend time reading the world; we have to plan or set time apart.. And in the Bible, we read that time is not in our hands as our time is known only by God. Being at home in the summer holidays, our children have all the time on their hands. But how will they make the most of it? Shall we pray from an eye- opener? Time is not something that one can buy or rent... When we are busy, we crave it, and when we are waiting, we usually hate it. Only God can help us understand its real value. And if our children discover this meaning in life at an early stage in their lives, it would be of much bigger treasure.

WOL Marriage Devotion
THE HARMONIOUS MARRIAGE
Have you ever come to a point in your marriage where you thought, “Man, this just feels like hell”? If we are honest with ourselves, most of us have. Marriage is either lived heaven down or hell up. Let me explain. If your marriage “feels like hell,” that’s because you have done some things to pull hell up into your marriage. You have literally gone into the culture of hell and brought death and demonic influence into your marriage and family. This can happen when you enter marriage without having dealt with past wounds. If you bring unforgiveness into your marriage, you’re also bringing hell into it. If you believe lies about your identity, you’ve brought hell into your marriage. Likewise, if you have any emotional, physical or sexual relationship with someone else—whether physical or mental—you’ve brought hell into your marriage. So many young people are marrying
later and later (or not at all) because they fear marriage. That is likely because they grew up in families where the parents kept bringing the culture of hell up into the home. But the good news is that you can also take steps to make the opposite choice. You can invite heaven down into your marriage. We’ve all looked at happy couples and thought, “Wow, God has really blessed those people.” That’s because their relationship and home environment feel a lot more like heaven than hell. That’s why we love to be around them. They are life-giving. They are joyful. A home that invites the kingdom and culture of heaven down into it will be characterized by the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Children who grow up in those kinds of environments want to get married instead of dreading marriage. They think marriage is awesome. MARK DRISCOLL
