God longs to work through those to whom He has given capabilities for great things. He longs to see those who occupy responsible places representing Him to the world. He desires that Christ be acknowledged as the greatest teacher the world has ever known, and that He shall shine through their minds as the Light of the world. “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” But in order that this may be, God demands that every intellectual and physical capability be offered as a consecrated oblation to Him. {TM 283.2}

Gud længes efter at arbejde gennem dem hvem han har givet evne for store ting. Han længes efter at se dem der besidder betroede embeder fremstille ham for verden, han ønsker at Kristus bliver anerkendt som den største lærer verden har kendt, og at han skal skinne gennem deres sind som verdens lys. »Men alle dem, som tog imod ham, gav han magt til at blive Guds børn, dem, som tror på hans navn.« Men for at dette kan blive således, forlanger Gud at enhver forstandsmæssig (284) og fysisk duelighed bliver ofret som en indviet taknemmelighedsgæld til ham.
