Subject: One With God
One With God
when the Lord speaks, it would surely come to reality. I received Christ,
knowing the truth and the truth have set me free. Having known the truth, I
had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for
enternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God's mercy and glory
upon my life.
I have the pleasure to share my testimony with you, I am Sam Obodo,the legal
adviser to late Mr and Mrs Imhuasen Joseph a Russian couple that lived in my
Country Nigeria for 25 years before they died in theBelleview plane crash.
They are good Christian, They so Dedicated to God but they had no child till
they died. Throughout their stayed in my country, they acquired a lot of
properties like Lands, house properties,etc. As their legal adviser, before
their death, they Instructed me to write their WILL.Because they had no
child, they dedicated their wealth to God.According to the WILL, the
properties have to be sold and the money will be given out to a ministry for
the work of God, Orphanages and less privileges ones. As Their legal
adviser, all the documents for the Properties were in my care.
They gave me the authority to sell the properties and give out the fund to
the Ministries for the work of God. In short, I sold all the properties
after their death, as they instructed and as matter of fact, after I sold
all their properties, I realized more than Five million, five hundred
thousand US Dollars ($5.5m), and what supposed to be the percentage interest
of my right legal fee was firstly deducted by me out of the total amount
realized from the sold properties, this was base on the initial agreement
between me and the owner of the properties before their death.Therefore the
total amount left to be invested into God's work asinstructed by the owner
is Five million, five hundred thousand US Dollars ($5.5m) only. But Instead
of giving the main fund out for the work of God as instructed to me by the
owner before their death.
I converted the fund to myself with the intention of investing the fund
abroad for my personal use. I was afraid of putting the fund in the Bank,
because I have to give account to the bank on how I got the money.I then
packaged the fund in consignments and deposited the consignments with a
security company. I did not want the management of the Security Company to
know the content of the consignments; therefore I registered the content of
the consignments as Gold Bars. Now, the security company believes that what
Ideposited with them was Gold Bars. I had encounter with Christ when Rev.
Billy Graham was preaching on television concerning Amanas and Sapphire in
Acts 5:1-11. After hearing the word of God, I gave my life to Christ and
became a born again Christian.
As a born again Christian, I started reading my bible and one day,the Lord
opened my eyes to Ezekiel 33: 18 and 19 where the word of God says: "When
the righteous truth from his righteousness, and committed iniquity, he shall
even die thereby. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that
which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby".From the scripture, I
discovered that the only way I could have peacein my life is to do what is
lawful and right by Giving out the fund as instructed for the work of God by
the owner before her death.
I have asked God for forgiveness and I know that God have forgiven me.But I
have to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God by giving out the
fund to the chosen ministry for the purpose of God's work as instructed by
the owner before her death. After my fasting and prayers,I asked God to make
his choice and direct me to a honest Christian but after my fervent prayer
over it, then you were nominated to me through divine revelation from God,
so these are how I received such a divine revelation from the Lord, how I
got your contact information, and I then decided to contact you for the fund
to be used wisely for things that will glorify the name of God.
I have notified the Security Company where I deposited the consignments that
contained the fund that I am moving the consignment abroad and the security
company has since been waiting for my authority for theconsignment to leave
my country and move to abroad. You should also forwardto me your telephone
and fax number for easy communication and to faxyou the documents concerning
the consignments. Prompt response will behighly appreciated.
Yours in Christ
Rev.Barr.Sam Obodo
