Dear friends and partners:
It is always a great pleasure to write and let you know what your love and support enables One Hope Outreach Ministry to do in various parts of the world. Thank you for partnering with us as we work the fields of harvest that the Lord directs us to.
Simon Peter is a missionary in Eldoret, Kenya and his report in this letter will bless you.
If I could be me, who would I be?
Every person’s life has a plan and purpose that was designed by God. The ultimate fulfillment of God’s plan and purpose can only be found through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Upon entry of a relationship with Jesus through a born again experience, a totally new spiritual dimension is opened to the new believer.
Jesus said it this way to Nicodemus in the third chapter of John’s gospel account, “lest a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3 KJV)
Without a relationship with Jesus Christ, we are "strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. (Ephesians 2:12 KJV)
The born again believer, on the other hand is so identified as, The called one, chosen, adopted, forgiven and his workmanship among many other words that describe one’s state of being through God’s great plan of redemption.
So if finding yourself seems to be an unanswered question, perhaps an invitation to read a portion of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church of Galatia and the Colossian church would be in order. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20 KJV)
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:1-3 KJV)
In total surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ a discovery of oneself can be found in Him and Him alone.
And for those who continue to pursue God’s will and wisdom, the mystery of an unseen King and his kingdom will be revealed and one’s self can be found fulfilling the plan and purpose of God’s design for life.
