25-Feb-2011 A Message from the President:02/25/2011
As the President of the company I must make a declaration in establishing a priority and put first things first. To do so, I am beginning this letter with the scriptural cornerstone verse for Ness Energy and all of us serving the Kingdom of God through her:
“And whatever you do --- no matter what it is --- in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.” (Colossians 3:17 Amplified Version)
We in Ness Energy are serving Jesus Christ and endeavoring to honor Him and properly represent and build His Kingdom through the company. Ness is a type of vessel or ark that has a divine and special purpose and we have a commission to sail or move her reverently forward as representatives of the Lord Jesus. The reverent fear of the Lord came upon us and has driven this point deep into our hearts and minds as we answered the call to step up, commit and humble ourselves in order to complete the task of restoring the company. This call/commission on our lives has produced a reverent awe in us much like the spirit and attitude one must have while serving in the military during the time of war. It has been a difficult and most challenging job for all of us serving in Ness up to this point because it has required us to surrender our plans and alter the path of our personal and professional lives in order to “stay” the narrow course this commission demands. The scripture quickened to our hearts that best describes what our motives and attitude must be in operating Ness is found in 1 Peter 5: 1 – 4 (Amplified Version):
“To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder, a witness of Christ’s sufferings and one who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2. Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers --- not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; 3. not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.”
There must not be any doubt about our motives or who we represent. We can and are working to do all things through Christ who strengthens us. That is the only way the task of restoring and moving the company forward can be properly and successfully accomplished. That is the reason we named the holding company Viceroy, LLC. The definition of a viceroy is: “one who rules a country or province as the representative of his sovereign or king and who is empowered to act in the sovereign’s name.” And that is our goal, to govern or rule our business affairs as a representative empowered to act in the Sovereign or King’s name and that name is Jesus Christ.
