So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 255,096

With all this election posting on social media, one thing has caught my attention. A lot of people keep posting that Christ is King. If that is so, and I would agree with them, then the question I have is this. Do we realize what making Christ King means for our lives?

The first thing is that is Jesus is king, then he is king over all, whether they have accepted him or not.  This also means he is king over all our politics, business deals, education, and every other part of our lives. To have a king is different than a president or governor. A king has total authority to determine how we shall live. We have a choice to either submit in total to the kings will or live in adversity to him and risk the wrath of the judgment of the king. There is also the third party that gives lip service to the king but ignores his statutes. This is where I argue much of the church is today. We have sought peace from earthly kings and now believe we have elected one. So what now? Now we need to do what we should do regardless who sits in government. We need to cry out to the Lord, “We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.” (1 Sam. 12:10) “ And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.” (1 Sam. 12:13-15)

We have chosen our earthly king, but he must submit to the authority of God for things to go well with us. But all the cards are not in his lap. It is us who should study to show ourselves approved. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians that to be entrusted with the gospel means we must speak not to please man, but to please God. If we have been transformed by the gospel ourselves, then we live by God’s standards and we need to stop trying to change them to match our standards. We must seek out the standards of God and seek to live as salt and light, different from the world and quit assimilating into it. We must seek the standards of God because they will show us the error of our ways and cause us to repent. Repentance is a beautiful thing. It brings us to God and when he pours his mercy and grace on us we have true peace. In God’s kingdom there is freedom, true freedom, the kind that comes from serving a good king. One who does not lay heavy burdens on His people. But this king calls us to go into the world with truth, not with feel goodness but with truth that can sometimes be hard. But it has to begin with each of us individually. We must apply the truth of God to our own lives. Then apply it to our families and finally our churches. That is when we will see the freedom and peace, for ourselves and for our children.

So if you believe God is truly on the throne, then seek the king’s orders. He is a king who loves, a king who died for you, so give your life to serve him in how He commands.

    Given all the talk around Arm Holdings’ blockbuster debut on the Nasdaq, you may be
    surprised to hear that London’s junior market
    is home to another, albeit significantly smaller, fabless chipmaker in Sondrel (Holdings) plc.

    Sondrel is in the business of application-specific
    integrated circuit (ASIC) designs, which is
    geek speak for computers that are designed with just one job in mind.

    Bitcoin miners, for instance, use an ASIC built to mine bitcoin and
    nothing else. You get the point.

    London’s junior market is home to another, albeit significantly smaller,
    fabless chipmaker in Sondrel (Holdings) plc.

    Anyway, while Arm Holdings takes flight in New York, adding 20 per cent on the first day of trading, Sondrel has had
    a bit of a shocker.

    Shares were down another 15% this week as it continued to
    reel from project delays and scaled back customer orders. Year to date,
    Sondrel is down a crushing 76 per cent.

    In its latest earnings call, the group conceded that full-year
    revenues will be ‘substantially below current market expectations’, with a corresponding impact on full-year losses.

    This Wednesday, Joe Lopez agreed to step down as chief financial officer with immediate effect, with
    non-board interim CFO Nick Stone taking the temporary mantle.

    A coincidence of timing perhaps?

    As for the wider small-cap market, the AIM All-Share Index got off to a worrying
    start after losing nearly 1 per cent on Monday.

    This was despite the blue-chip index starting the week on the front foot in anticipation of a packed week of macroeconomic news.

    Thankfully, junior stocks swung in the right direction as UK unemployment met expectations,
    as did the European Central Bank’s 25 basis point interest rate decision.

    US inflation figures were a little on the heavy side, though not enough to
    spook the markets.

    The AIM All-Share ended up recovering those Monday losses to
    close the week flat at 746.42, though this was a marked underperformance against the FTSE 100, which gained over 3 per cent.

    A large chunk of the value of shares in disposable
    vape distributor Supreme were thrown in the bin following damning
    research into the environmental effects of cheap, single-use vaping kits.

    Shares were down 16.6 per cent across the week.

    Ocean Harvest Technology Group plc, one of AIM’s very few debutants
    in 2023, took a light battering in the wake
    of its first interim earnings report as a publicly
    listed company.

    The group, which specialises in researching, developing and selling seaweed products
    for use in the animal feed industry, reported a delay in onboarding new customers in Europe due to surging
    feed ingredient prices, sending shares down 18
    per cent.

    Shareholders made their thoughts clear on medical technology company Belluscura’s interim
    results, with shares diving over 18 per cent this week.

    Revenues and earnings figures objectively justified this response, with
    top-line sales falling a third year on year to $400,000 (£321,000) and adjusted EBITDA
    falling 30 per cent to $2.9 million.

    It’s never a weekly roundup without discussing the latest delisting news.
    This week it is brought to you by Sportech.

    You may be aware of Sportech through its pool-betting
    site 123Bet, or perhaps Connecticut, US readers have visited one of its nine licensed gaming entertainment venues in the state.

    Monday’s solid set of results – which showcased a threefold
    increase in underlying earnings – weren’t enough to dissuade
    the group from ploughing ahead with its plan to delist from London’s junior AIM market.

    ‘Despite delivering improving operational results announced today, the substantial financial cost associated with maintaining a public listing, given our current scale, and the increasing volatility
    in the market valuation is adversely impacting net returns and future prospects,
    ‘ said executive chairman Richard McGuire.

    Hardly an uncommon sentiment in the 2023 capital markets.

    The heavy industries proved AIM’s saviour this
    week, thanks to a revival in sentiment for China-exposed industries and surging
    commodity prices.

    Exploration and development minnow Critical Mineral Resources (formerly Caerus Mineral Resources) had
    a bumper week, leaping close to 50 per cent after confirming the completion of its Cyprus
    asset sale.

    Other top industrial movers saw Synergia Energy, Pantheon Resources
    and Cadence Minerals plc all up over 20 per cent, with Atome Energy and Coro Energy surging in the high teens.

    LoopUp Group led the charge in the communications sector after smashing revenue and margin targets in its interim earnings.
    Shares were seen around 40 per cent higher
    week on week.

    Lastly, Keystone Law plc turned heads on Thursday after it confirmed
    full-year results will be ‘comfortably ahead of market
    expectations’. Shares closed the week a little over 10 per cent higher as a result.

    Hey everyone! If you’re in the middle of a kitchen remodel like I was, you’re probably searching for the best countertop contractors near me. I know how overwhelming it can be to choose the right professionals for your kitchen renovation, but I’ve learned a few things that can help you make the right decision.

    First of all, it’s important to research contractors who specialize in kitchen countertops. Whether you’re looking for granite, quartz, marble, or even something more unique like recycled glass, you’ll want to hire a contractor who has experience with the material you choose. I made the mistake of hiring a contractor who wasn’t familiar with the specific type of countertop I wanted, and let me tell you, it made the process way more stressful than it needed to be.

    Next, reviews are your best friend. Before hiring a contractor, I highly recommend checking online reviews, reading client testimonials, and even asking for referrals from people you trust. A great contractor will have a proven track record of delivering quality work on time and within budget. I personally reached out to past clients for feedback, and it made all the difference.

    Another tip I have is to communicate your vision clearly. The best countertop contractors near me weren’t just skilled workers—they were also great listeners who worked with me to choose the best materials for my kitchen and helped me stay within my budget. This made the entire process much smoother and less stressful.

    Finally, don’t rush your decision! The best countertops can elevate your kitchen and last for years, so take the time to hire the right contractor. Good luck with your remodel, and I hope these tips help you find the perfect contractor for your project!
