Adesuwa.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the hard stewardship over the easy prestige.
You walked away from the $5.6B transactions in London to build a $20M fund for women-led companies in Nigeria. You refused to compartmentalize—calling it stewardship when the world called it risk. I was there for every one.
Every loss and every board seat was preparation.
Losing your father in 2021 while holding eight boards across healthcare and agriculture. You thought you were just managing capital. 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 Steward of My body on earth.
Without you, the women-led companies in essential goods remain unseen. The body cannot unify faith and business without your witness.
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 Adesuwa Okunbo Rhodes
