Have you ever felt like something in your life was missing? Have you felt like you had a greater calling and it has not come around yet? If so, that is your God-given potential that you are feeling. We all have a unique God-given purpose that is greater than us all. If you are looking for a way to unleash that energy and find your purpose, Martin Jones II shares his fascinating experience that may help you.

Martin Jones II is a Construction Management student from Cincinnati, OH. He is the oldest of three boys and was raised by both of his parents and he is looked as a role model by his younger brothers. He is the Founder/CEO of the God Made Clothing brand that has influenced himself and others around him to live their life through Christ. The mission of God Made is to
help enlighten this generation and the world. Jones says, “It’s ok to be young and lit for God!”

Ironically, what moved Jones to make this brand was his passion and love for basketball. At the age of 6, he started playing basketball with his dad coaching him up until he got to middle school. Jones’ father played basketball on the collegiate level at Tennessee State University. Growing up in his household, Jones and his younger brothers all aspired to live up to their father’s name.

During his sophomore year at A&T, Jones found out he was ineligible to continue his collegiate basketball career. He entered into a slight depression and was at a point in his life where he did not know his purpose. Jones’ father was a Deacon, and as a child he was brought up in the church. However, his relationship with Christ didn’t grow until he got to college. From his experiences in basketball, Jones started to grow his own personal connection with God.

Martin Jones II crossed Spring 2018 into the Alpha Nu Chapter (North Carolina A&T State University) of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. When asked why he wanted to become a NUPE and what it means to him being a member of the Alpha Nu chapter he said, “I wanted to cross on the sole purpose of Achievement! I am a person who believes in excelling in everything you do no matter what you do in your life. My Line Brothers and I were always told when we were on line that being Alpha Nu holds weight and we wouldn’t experience it until we crossed. That statement was nothing but factual. Being a part of Alpha Nu has changed my life completely for the better. A lot of Alpha Nu is achieving in the world and just being connected with them in the bond is truly something special. I will carry on the Alpha Nu legacy by continuing to excel in everything I do in life.”

After college, Jones has plans to work for a construction company while still growing the God Made brand. He will also be working on opening the first God Made store. “For the next upcoming months and years from now, God Made apparel will be popping up in stores. My long- term goal for this brand is to open up multiple stores across the U.S.” Jones says.

So, God-given potential… What is that again? And how do you unlock it? Martin Jones II says that: “Unlocking your God given potential means finding your purpose on this Earth that God has placed inside of you. That is what achievement is, fulfilling your purpose in life. When I rededicated my life, I decided to accept the calling and responsibility that God had for my life. He began to show me the kind of example I needed to be in the world for my generation and for brothers and sisters in the generations to come who have dreams like mine. When we begin to pray for God’s will to be done in our life, that’s when he begins to operate and push us to fulfill
our promises. In doing this, He revealed this concept to me: ‘GOD MADE’.”

The current Polemarch of the Alpha Nu chapter, Antonio Rivers, had to say this on Jones and the God Made brand: “The brand speaks volumes on campus. It helps create a more comfortable environment for young adults to embrace their beliefs and core values. All while looking good doing it. Martin took his God given abilities and started something bigger than
himself based off his trials and tribulations. His early achievements have only scratched the surface and I’m excited to see what’s next for him and the God Made Brand.”

Jones hasn’t fully unlocked his God given potential yet. He states, “I feel like we have so much built up potential inside of us that throughout life we’re going to keep finding pieces of us that we never knew we had. My God given potential and purpose on this earth is compassion. I
always make sure that others are good before I worry about myself.” With that being said, there will be bigger and even better things to come in store from Martin Jones II.
