Dear Fellow Believer,
Greetings in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.
To God be the Glory that I received Christ. Having known the truth, I had no
choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal
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 Mr. Paul Agbogwu,
the Personal Lawyer of late Mr. Protasov Salenko, a Russian that lived in
my Country Nigeria for 20 years before he died in the plane crash last year.
He was a very good Christian, he is so dedicated to God but he was not
married nor had any child till He died, may His soul rest in peace, Amen.
Throughout His stay in my country, he acquired a lot of properties like
lands, house properties, etc.
As his legal adviser, before his death, Mr. Protasov Salenko, instructed me
to write his WILL, because he had no child, he dedicated his wealth to God.
According to the WILL, the properties have to be sold and the money be given
out to a ministry or individual for the work of God. As his legal adviser,
all the documents for the properties were in my care. He gave me the
authority to sell the properties and give out the fund to a Ministry or
individual for the work of God.
In short, I sold all the properties after His death, as instructed by Mr.
Protasov Salenko before he died. And as matter of fact, after I sold all his
properties, I realized up to USD$6,000,000.00 (Six million US dollars). The
total amount will be invested into God's work as instructed by the original
owner. But Instead of giving the fund out for the work of God as instructed
to me by the owner before his 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 two Trunk Boxes and
deposited the Trunk Boxes with a security company here in Nigeria. I did not
want the management of the Security Company to know the content of the Trunk
Boxes; therefore I registered the content of the Trunk Boxes as Family
Treasure. Now the security company believes that what I deposited with them
was Family Treasure.
I had a turnaround in my life few weeks ago, when I was watching a program
on television. The name of the program is HOSSANA HOUR, and the man of God
was preaching concerning Ananias and Saphira 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 committee 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 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 giving out the
fund to the chosen ministry or individual, for the purpose of God's work 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 one that deserves this fund by his Grace. I then came across your
address on the Internet as I was browsing through a marvelous site, and as a
matter of fact, it is not only you that I picked on the site initially, 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, 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 Trunk Boxes that
contained the fund, that I am moving the Trunk Boxes abroad, and the
security company has since been waiting for my authority for the Trunk Boxes
to leave my country.
So if you know that you will use this fund honestly for God's work, then do
contact me back immediately.
Waiting for your response.
Yours Sincerely,
Brother Paul Agbogwu.
