Beloveth,
The time has come for Christians to worship God in spirit and in truth
according to the book of John chapter 4:vs23-24.``But the hour cometh and
now is when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in
truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him . God is a spirit, and
they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth``. Based on
this scripture, it became obvious that I should do the right thing if I must
enter into the kingdom of God.
For the witness of God’s mercies and glory upon my life that I count it a
privilege to share my testimony with you, having gotten your contact from
the internet. I am BARR.JOSE ADA, an attorney to the late Mr. and Mrs. MIKE
HALL, a British couple that lived in my country Nigeria for 20years.They
travelled to Patong-Thailand for Christmas holiday but met death on the 26th
of December 2004 during the Tsunami disaster
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/4153821.stm These couple were
dedicated Christians, believers in the word and act. They until their death
believed God for a child but they never had any. Whilst in my country they
invested in Real Estate and the Oil Industry. They were wealthy in every
sense of the word. As their Attorney, before their death, the husband Mr.
MIKE HALL instructed me to write his WILL. Because they had no child or any
known sibling, they bequeathed their wealth to God's work. According to the
WILL, the properties have to be disposed and the proceeds realized
channelled into a ministry for the work of God or any humanitarian
endeavours. Being their Attorney, all the documents for the properties were
put in my care. He gave me the authority to sell the properties and give out
the fund to the ministries for the work of God.
In line with their Will, I sold off their properties after at their demise.
To be candid I realized over $5.5 million (Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand USD) My rightful payment for my legal fee was deducted by me from
the total amount realized from the sale of the properties, this was premised
on the initial agreement between the HALL'S and my humble self before
their death. The total sum to be set aside for funding of the Gospel as
instructed Mr. MIKE HALL is $5.500,000.00 (Five Million Five Hundred
Thousand US Dollars) only. But Instead of giving the fund out for the work
of God then, as initially instructed by the owner before his death, i
fraudulently converted the funds for to my personal use with an eye for
investment abroad for my evil benefits, against the ultimate wishes of the
original owners. 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 used a Finance
company which has an overseas off! ice to deposit the funds . The Finance
and security company on my instructions has since moved the funds to their
office in Europe.
But praise be to God in that we were yet sinners Christ died for us, i had
an encounter with God when Dr Benny Hinn came on a three day crusade to my
country on the 29th of April 2005. Subsequently my eyes were opened to the
book of Acts 5:1-11 about Ananias and Saphira and the book of 2Kings 5:20-27
about Gehazi the servant of Elisha, i was so ashamed of my act greed and
selfishness. In my personal study of the word of God i came across the book
of Ezekiel 36:26-27 that says "A new heart also will I give you, and a new
spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of
your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit
within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my
judgments, and do them" I confessed my sins of greed and illegal
appropriation of another man's wealth. From the scripture, I discovered that
the only way I could have peace in 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
his 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 channelling the
funds into the Lord's ministry work or for Charity as instructed by the
owner before his death. After my fasting and prayers, I asked God to make
his choice and direct me to a honest Christian or the chosen ministry that
deserves this fund by his Grace. I then contacted you, and as a matter of
fact, it is not only you that I picked initially, but after my fervent
prayer over it, then you were nominated to me through divine revelation from
God.
The Finance Company in London where I deposited the funds i did notify that
i will soon transfer the deposit out of their custody to a recipient. Please
pardon my contacting you via Internet; we understand that there is a lot of
illicit business, which makes it difficult to identify letters with genuine
intent. We can arrange for a meeting once we receive your acceptance letter
and get things sorted out. We will welcome any ideas and guidance offered by
you provided it is positive towards our goal.
May God bless you as you make up your mind to work for God.
IF YOU ARE CAPABLE, THEN REPLY OR CALL TEL: +234-8060024100 PLEASE INDICATE
YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL, TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
May the spirit of God be with you. We await your prompt response.
Regards,
BARR. JOSE ADA.
