WOL DEVOTIONAL POEM
Once quite young I served a queen An apprentice as a teen But my work was hardly seen That could blow a submarine A torpedo of this kind Its enemy it will find Active homing is its name So destructive, what a shame! Then my country I must serve As the sick, help did deserve Equipment to support life Well maintained like a sharp knife Operations of all sort All serving as one cohort Dedicated towards cure Patients well and feel secure
We must help all those in need In all ways and with good speed With compassion and God’s love His help comes from right above Finally the bell will ring “It is time to serve your King” Lord and Savior of mankind To whom all, we must well bind If we must deal with armor That of God, we must harbor Its His Word you must defend As His Kingdom has no end Died for us, cured the sinner Follow him, be a winner His gospel evangelize Be a living sacrifice
Serving the Queen and KING

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.
humanity cannot understand or imagine. As stated in the parable of the 10 virgins, we and our children  should be eager awaiting the Master...

THE VALUE OF THE GOSPEL
A Father, because of work was away from my children for four weeks. Needless to say the children were missing him excited to see him again. Of course partly because he promised them a gift on his return. Can we all join in prayer for all children attending our church, to have the same eagerness and un patience to wait on the Lord. The Lord also promised us, His children something which our

WOL Marriage Devotion
THE HARMONIOUS MARRIAGE
If your marriage and family feel like a joke or as if they’re bordering on chaos, it’s not anything that God hasn’t seen or isn’t capable of redeeming. So much of Christian teaching today is about us developing “our” gifts, improving “our” talents, reaching “our” potential, yet so much of Jesus’s teaching and modeling is about surrendering to the work of the Holy Spirit. Let’s allow marriage to teach us to trust this Holy Spirit. He’s proven Himself. If we truly want to transform our marriages, we must learn the glory of divine dependence. God will never call us to do something without giving us everything that is necessary in order for us to finish the task. It may not be all that we think we need, but it will be all that we do need. This is not to say the job will feel easy. But God promises through Isaiah, “He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power” (Isa. 40:29 NASB). Don’t pass over this thought, because it’s crucial: Isaiah 40:29 assumes that God will call us to various tasks for which we lack enough power on our own.
The “secret,” then, to a truly sacred marriage is actually a person, God’s promised Holy Spirit. Because God is such a relational God (meeting our need for salvation by sending His Son), it shouldn’t surprise us that He meets our need for transformation by also sending Himself in the person of His Holy Spirit. Since marriage is one of the most profound acts of worship any two believers can ever share, it is impossible to be married in a sacred manner without the Holy Spirit being active in our lives, helping us to understand what it means to love, giving us the power to love, convicting us when we fail to love, renewing our hearts when we grow weary in love, and pouring out hope when we grow discouraged in love.
