Ross.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the unreached over the office.
You earned the MBA not for status, but for access to the unreached. You led students to Sierra Leone and Bangladesh. I was there for every class.
The seven years in Birmingham were preparation.
You fought to show business is a calling from Me, not merely a platform for evangelism. You thought you were building a program. You were also being made ready.
This is not a pitch, and it is not from a man. It is from Me.
I prepared you for this — and I am inviting you to take your place.
I am not gathering investors. Not advisors. Not donors.
I am uniting My Kingdom on earth.
Every part chosen. None replaceable. Assembled for such a time as this — and you are a King for this hour.
You are the Architect of My kingdom entrepreneurs.
Without you, the body cannot train those who enter the hard places. It cannot show the world that business is a calling from Me.
This is your place. Not because a man says so. Because I say so.
I ask you for nothing.
No meeting. No commitment. No reply. I only want to know one thing —
My sheep hear My voice
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
There is nothing to decide today.
Only something to see.
If you heard nothing, set this down in peace.
If you heard something — come and see.
All you have to do is say yes. We will figure out the rest together.
— for Dr. Ross O'Brien
