Make Jesus the Mark and radiate godliness. Align with His power, glorify God, and do greater works while blessing others and growing your talents.

Unlock the Missing Link

Unlock the missing link to true personal growth and godly power. It is time to go beyond surface-level success and step into the deeper call of discipleship. Jesus isn’t merely an example—He is the Mark. By making Him your focus, you uncover the key to spiritual and temporal transformation.

The Power of Discovery

As a young missionary, I first discovered Christ’s visit to the Americas. It was a moment of wonder and awe, igniting a desire to share this news with everyone I met. That enthusiasm revealed a simple truth: knowledge alone isn’t enough—it must be acted upon and shared to truly transform.

Through this lens of divine potential, I see our purpose more clearly. Life is not about simply getting things; it is about becoming something more. We are sons and daughters of God, designed to rise to the stature of godliness. The school of life prepares us not just to reflect goodness but to radiate godliness.

The Call to Radiate Godliness

Goodness is admirable, but it is not enough. Many settle for being good and honorable, which is a state of glory—but not glory upon glory. Without tapping into the power of godliness, we remain stuck—limited from reaching our divine potential.

Yes, we may do good things and gain the world’s praise, but this alone leaves us unfulfilled and far from the highest form of worship: becoming like our Father.

When Jesus is the Mark, your focus and treasure align. Your intention shifts from seeking gain to glorifying God. This alignment unlocks the power to do not only good works, but greater works. You begin to see beyond fleeting gains to eternal growth.

The Law of the Harvest

The law of success is simple: as you sow, so shall you reap. It brings results, and it is a principle of glory. But living solely for success is short-sighted. True abundance comes when success becomes a tool to serve others, to bless lives, and to build the kingdom of God.

When you prosper, it is not to store up treasures for yourself. It is to relieve the poor, uplift the needy, and share freely. Your substance—whether time, means, talents, or faith—is a sacred trust.

As you give, you grow. Each act of sharing brings you closer to the divine nature, unlocking new capacities and receiving every good thing in return.

Life is not about hoarding talents or gains but about exchanging them to bless and build others. In this exchange, you magnify your own gifts and step closer to your potential as a child of God.

Focus Your Life on Jesus as the Mark—The Eternal Vision

This is the journey of eternity: learning, growing, and magnifying your capacity to emulate Christ and become like God. As you take His yoke upon you, you access strength beyond your own.

You are prepared to do more than you ever could alone—even greater works than Christ performed on earth.

By aligning your will with His, you radiate godliness. You become more than a reflection of His light—you become a source of light, a co-creator with Him, an instrument of divine purpose.

This is the path to true greatness.
This is the path to becoming like Abba.

Reflect on how aligning your will with Christ transforms not only your actions but your very nature. Through His light, you radiate godliness and unlock your divine potential.
