The displays of pageantry in London will jar especially with growing calls in the Caribbean to sever all ties with the monarchy. In those countries, the first crowning of a British monarch in 70 years is an occasion to reflect on oppression and colonialism’s bloody past. But for many others in the Commonwealth, a group of nations mostly made up of places once claimed by the British Empire, Charles’ coronation is seen with apathy at best. LONDON – When King Charles III is crowned on Saturday, soldiers carrying flags from the Bahamas, South Africa, Tuvalu, and beyond will march alongside British troops in a spectacular military procession in honor of the monarch.įor some, the scene will affirm the ties that bind Britain and its former colonies.

It is a good book to read to any sibling who feels left out. Angela Johnson brings an interesting story that is told from the mindset of the youngest child, who often feels left out. She ends up in a different kind of three, and that is okay too. Then her parents comfort her and let her know that sometimes Mama and Daddy want her to keep them company.

For me, that translated into, sure I'll be on the worship team but I want to stay in control of my love life and finances. God doesn't want to be limited to the areas of your life that you say He can have. God wants to be in the center of every area of your life.” -Eric Ludy “God was challenging me to apply Christianity to every area of my life. Here are the five lessons I learned from this book: 1. As you go through each chapter of this book, I hope you will be more inspired to transform your heart, mind and soul into what it means to allow God to be the author not of just your love story, but your whole life. After I read When God Writes Your Love Story, I felt so challenged and so on fire for developing and preparing my love life into what God truly desires it to be.

Furthermore, I also explain in detail the concept of hostile takeovers, its strategies, and defenses. In this article, I try to unpack this acquisition and the reasons for the acquisition turning hostile. Recently, in 2019, the Indian IT sector witnessed its first ever hostile takeover where Mindtree Limited (“Mindtree”), was acquired by Larsen and Toubro Limited (“L&T”). There are various defense strategies that can be employed by the target company like buyback, white knight, pacman, et cetera. In such a situation, instead of backing off, the acquiring company directly approaches the target company’s shareholders for the purpose of acquisition which either takes place through a tender offer or a proxy fight. A takeover becomes hostile when the acquisition of the target company is opposed by its management. Under Mergers and Acquisitions (“M&A”), the term takeover refers to the acquisition of one company by another.

It builds our faith and our trust in God. It reminds us that God knows our way and understands what we face today. Praying God’s words back to Him, is a powerful weapon against the forces of evil. He never leaves us to fend for ourselves in a dark world, but reminds us He is constantly with us, fighting for us, even when we cannot see. He invites us to spend time in His Presence, through prayer and worship, pressing in to know Him more.Īs we grow to know God’s Truth and what is real, we also know more what is false, and we are stronger to stand against it in the powerful name of Jesus. He equips us with strength, wisdom, and discernment through His own Spirit to stay strong in the spiritual warfare battle. He arms us with the sword, the Word of God, to stand against the enemy’s lies. If you're a believer who is living like salt and light in a dark world, you won't go for long without encountering spiritual warfare - obstacles and attacks he'll hurl your direction. God reminds us in His word to stay aware of Satan’s schemes, to live alert in this world, and to stay close to Him. Tenniel at first refused when Carroll asked him to also illustrate his second book.
