BY APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY, THE QUEEN...▸ Anyone with a observant eye who

has spent even a short amount of time in the UK has no doubt seen the royal Coat of Arms displayed on shops and products ranging from broomsticks to champagne and maybe you've felt a bit smug that you've chosen the same place to shop or the same thing to buy as the Queen herself.. or maybe you didn't even know that you've just done exactly that!

MAJESTY

BY APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY, THE QUEEN...▸ The Coat of Arms is displayed on

letterhead, shop fronts and the packaging of products themselves when a Royal Warrant of Appointment has been issued to the supplier of the product or service. Basically, its a way bragging that the Queen (or Prince Philip or Prince Charles depending on the coat of arms displayed) likes your stuff and you supply goods to the royal family.

MAJESTY

BY APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY, THE QUEEN▸ The next time you spot one, take a

closer look at it... you will see the fancy coat of arms, then underneath it will usually say "By Appointment to..." followed by the name of the royal issuing the appointment and what goods are provided.

▸ For instance, at John Lewis, the it will read "By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen as suppliers of haberdashery and household goods"

BY APPOINTMENT TO HER MAJESTY, THE QUEEN

▸ Approximately 800 individuals and companies hold more than 1,100 warrants to the Royal Family.

▸ Suppliers must have had a trading relationship with an individual in the family for at least five years before they can be considered for a warrant.

▸ They are awarded for renewable terms of five years, though they can be revoked at any time; some warrants have been held for more than 100 years.

FOR BUSINESS, THE GRANTING OF A ROYAL WARRANT IS A HUGE BOOST, BECAUSE ROYAL APPROVAL MAY BE DISPLAYED IN PUBLIC WITH THE COAT OF ROYAL ARMS OF THE GRANTOR, INDICATING THAT THEIR SERVICES OR PRODUCTS ARE OF HIGH QUALITY.

WORK IS GOD ORDAINED ▸ Mark Twain once said, "Work is a

necessary evil to be avoided." Although there may be days when we feel like he got it right, we know God has ordained work as a stewardship of his created world (Genesis 1:28; 2:15).

▸ He has designed work for his glory and our good. But how might we glorify God at work?

WE ARE APPOINTED & WORK + REPRESENT THE KINGS OF KINGSJOHN 15:16 YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU SO THAT YOU MIGHT GO AND BEAR FRUIT--FRUIT THAT WILL LAST--AND SO THAT WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME THE FATHER WILL GIVE YOU.
