    Peace Be With You!

    Foremost, I fervently hope that you and your loved
    ones are okay. Whether directly or indirectly
    affected by last Tuesday’s tragedy, my prayers are
    with you. I know that your eyes are willing –but
    tired, with all there are to be seen and read about
    the great U.S. tragedy last Tuesday, reminiscent of
    the apolcalyptic movies that became rampant at the
    turn of the new millennium.

    No, you are not going to read another message of
    outrage against who perpetuated the attacks which
    resulted to loss of thousands of lives. But the Lord
    Almighty God through the Holy Spirit is working upon
    me to share with you words that may just lead you back
    to His great plan for us, that is, to be with Him in
    His Kingdom while we are still alive and have to
    opportunity here on earth to work on it.

    Sad but true, it is only when we are in dire need do
    we remember God, the Supreme Creator of all. I am
    least surprised to receive messages pertaining to The
    Father and how we encourage each others to pray in
    times like this. Are we really reminded that God is
    also there waiting for us to pray even when all’s
    well? Do we really need tragedies of such magnitude
    to happen in order for us to be reminded about Him?

    This may sound radical, but let me ask you what did
    you initially feel when you heard the news last
    Tuesday? Was it fear? …anger? …sorrow? Have you
    asked yourself why you felt that way? Have you really
    come to love your life so much that it is hard for you
    to die an untimely death? Did you even feel a sense
    of unpreparedness if last Tuesday was indeed The
    Second Coming of Christ? You may take this as another
    fanatical extremist point of view, but really now, how
    well do you know GOD who created you and who is
    absolutely in control all the things around you, both
    seen and unseen?

    Please, before you hit that button to spare yourself
    of The Truth (for the nth time!), consider answering
    this question: IF YOU DIE TODAY, WHERE DO YOU THINK
    YOU’RE HEADED NEXT?

    I hope you are still with me. Please be reminded that
    I, too, am human who can also feel like you. Right
    now, I already feel abandoned by your thought (alone)
    of discontinuing to read this piece of e-mail that I
    wrote with YOU in mind. Why do you even think that I
    am asking such question in bold letters? I do not
    doubt that you believe in Our Great Father GOD, but
    are you aware that intellectual, emotional and even
    spiritual acknowledgement of Him is not enough to
    claim that we know Him, much more, love Him? I
    learned that in order to get that conviction that one
    really loves Him, he / she should submit himself /
    herself to total obedience to His commands which will
    save us. This is all made possible through the grace
    of His Word in The Scriptures and of course, through
    His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, whom He had paid
    for as a ransom for the sins that enlave us to this
    day. There is so much to discover about Our Eternal
    Father. I am in complete bliss as I share this joy
    with you!

    When I ask awhile back how well you know Him, I really
    wanted to know how you got to know Him. Is it through
    studying The Bible or only through some life-taught
    experience which made us assume things without any
    concrete foundation? Without triggering sarcasm, I
    ask, how humble have we been before Our Perfect
    Father? Or better yet, I ask, how humble have YOU
    been before GOD, The Master of Creation? Hey, I do
    not need to know the answer for myself. HE already
    knows.

    My friends, it’s high time that we open up our Bibles
    to receive the Good News of our salvation before it’s
    too late. I plead that you do read, believe and
    REPENT. Many are called but few are chosen, it’s
    true. If you choose to remain indifferent to this
    call to change for the glory of God who gave you life,
    just spare me of the blame if one day you will be put
    to shame when the day comes. For it is written, “To
    those who by persistence in doing good seek glory,
    honor and immortality, He will give eternal life. But
    for those who are self-seeking and who reject The
    Truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.”
    (Romans 2:7-8) The first Good News I wanna share is
    that it is NOT yet too late. Don’t even think of
    letting God wait any longer. If you do, HOW DARE YOU
    LET HIM WAIT BECAUSE OF YOUR SINFUL PRIDE!!! You know
    very well that this is for YOU and your own welfare
    FOR ETERNITY, is that hard to understand? So be wise
    enough to be alarmed!

    Wherever you are in the globe, there are many fellow
    disciples of Christ out there
    <<http://icoc.org/html/directoryset.html>> willing to
    help you go through The Scriptures, step by step, so
    that you may have inheritance in heaven, as Jesus is
    preparing for it. Amen.

    Blind No More,
    Odilon
