A large percentage of humanity has no clarity regarding God's purpose for their lives. This is such a critical need, even in a practical way. Notice that even among the elderly, the thing that often enables them to withstand physical and mental challenges is their sense of purpose, of usefulness. Well-meaning caregivers have actually, inadvertently, sometimes crippled those whom they love by taking away all responsibilities. Though the elderly one may need to be “protected” from some functions, if that person who has been the breadwinner, the mover-and-shaker all his or her adult life has a sense of being reduced to child status (at least in his or her estimation), there can be a loss of a sense of dignity and self-image. They have defined themselves by their do-ing all these years. If there is now “nothing to do”, do-ers tend to fade away, physically, psychologically, totally. Wow. Give that person something to continue doing, something that he or she views as significant. It can cause life quantity and quality to be extended.

The fact that many unbelievers AND many believers do NOT have a sense of divine purpose and assignment makes them collectively a “marginalized majority”. Through a lack of “assignment awareness”, too many wander through life never really locking in upon their “why”. Religious indoctrination that most of humanity will be lost and damned in hell has aided in fostering this mentality among the masses. They observe others who seem to be clear, the exceptional ones who are “chosen,” but they see themselves as outsiders, outliers, and thus are effectively marginalized. They comprise a grand quorum of untapped potential, unrealized possibility. This absolutely has to change if we are to make the God-impact to which we are called, both for time and eternity.

In this week's episode, host Michael Blue continues the series “Knowing Your Assignment” by taking a closer look at “Know Your Successor.” Mentors must acknowledge that there will arise a developmental need that the mentee has – a need that this leader does not have the ability to supply – and that the leader will direct that understudy to another resource or resource person, intentionally. Leaders grant their successors permission to grow beyond the leaders themselves, permission to be-come. Unbeknown to his followers, John the Baptist is preparing them for a future without him, i.e., without his physical presence. Sometimes a relationship of this kind can be so fulfilling and affirming that we presume that it will “last forever”. However, a wise leader knows better and accepts the solemn truth that they must get successors ready to succeed without their physical support. There is a necessary urgency in preparing the next generation for the next stage of destiny realization. New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts.

One of the outcomes of knowing one's assignment is “satisfaction”. The satisfaction of a man or woman on divine assignment in the professional arena is threefold: 1) the glory of God, 2) the good of people, and 3) the gratification of oneself. When you do what you were created to do professionally, it will accomplish all three of these. Another major aspect of one's calling is to prepare the way for “the next”. Why would a leader do such a thing? It is because the development and success of his or her successors means more than his or her own “need to be needed.” This may be uncomfortable for all parties, but it is necessary. Listen to this episode as host Michael Blue explores both of these topics with his live-streaming audience.  New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Material wealth attainment CANNOT be the goal of the professional because it cannot satisfy the human heart. It must always be a MEANS, but never an END.  It is the lowest rung on the ladder of satisfaction. However, it is a legitimate level of satisfaction. God has no problem with material profit as a fruit of the Kingdom Professional performance. It is the hyper-religious who demand a vow of poverty from the people of God. God Himself sets forth the precedence, from the Garden of Eden to His interactions with the patriarch, that it is His pleasure to see His people abound materially. Yet, these resources are not to be hoarded in an idolatrous, covetous grip. The Scriptures instruct the wealthy believer to maintain vigilance, humility, and an attitude of generosity for the good of those who have much less than they do.  New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, host Michael Blue describes how God shaped his perspective and has given him a passion to teach the Kingdom of God and to enable believers to understand that God's intention for us is to “take over” the systems of this world through the power of the Gospel. The takeover that God instigates has nothing to do with natural weapons or warfare. His takeover utilizes Galatians 5:22 and John 13:35, the fruit of the Spirit, I Corinthians 12:8, the gifts of the Spirit, can TAKE OVER in every realm through supernatural excellence in his or her performance and in his or her personality. The Bible says, “His banner over me was love.” Song of Solomon 2:4 He conquered with love. Love – not coercion, not military force, not protest, not oppression, not brutality – it is love that God has used throughout history, and still uses, to overwhelm culture. The world has no defense (and needs none) against the LOVE of God in the lives of his people. It is irresistible! The indwelling Spirit of God empowers the performance and the personality of His representatives to stand out in stark contrast to the darkness of this age. And people, all people, LONG for love. God's love is the only satisfaction for the human heart. All these things that the world invests millions of dollars attempting to teach, i.e., customer service, civility, high ethics, these things are only fully derived from the Greatest Commandments in their essence: “Love God. Love people.” New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts. The Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals meets every Monday live with Michael A.

God has established a reward system along with the callings that He bestows. If you serve well in that which you are called to do, there is a “paycheck” associated with it. God has given you a gift. That gift is a means by which you are to govern. The outcome of this governing – positively impacting and influencing the world around us – is threefold in this order: the glory of God, the good of people, and the gratification of the gifted one.  Satisfaction does exist in the material wealth realm. However, it is the lowest level of fulfillment. Fulfillment may be the smile of a recovering patient, a sincere thanks from a client, or the achievement of your student: money cannot equate to the pleasure derived from knowing that you had a hand in these matters. As a Kingdom Professional, if you fulfill your assignment, you may expect satisfaction in varying degrees and dimensions. The greatest is the joy of knowing that you have pleased God. But after this is the reward of people's good, which will also result in your personal gratification. It is God's Will that His faithful stewards and collaborators shall ultimately and fully be satisfied. New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts.

The greatest satisfaction for a Kingdom leader, teacher, or mentor is to know that he or she has pleased God. The second greatest is the success of the follower, the student, or the mentee. Leaders work to make themselves progressively unnecessary in the lives of those whom they lead. If the leader has not continued to grow and evolve, he can see the growth of the follower as a compliment and a threat simultaneously, because he or she is not needed as before. All leaders must continue to individually develop so that their identities are not defined in a transitional function.  New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, Michael Blue explores the question, “Whose assignment is dependent upon mine? That is, whose be-coming is contingent upon my obedience to God so that he or she will receive what it takes for success through my life?” Parents, teachers, mentors, pastors, etc.: all of these people are responsible for conducting their assignments with sensitivity to scheduling – we do not have forever to prepare the way for those who will come after us, AND to prepare the individuals themselves who will succeed us. We do not have long. Timing is critical. New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Of the nine components that we have identified as integral to knowing one's assignment, this episode focuses again on knowing one's schedule. Having a sense of a schedule inclines one to pursue wisdom regarding the time that remains in his or her life, to optimize it for the fulfillment of the assignment. When we juxtapose the life of John the Baptist against the life of Jesus Christ, we see that John's schedule, and the management thereof, is critical because he is only six months intra-uterine before Jesus' conception. John has only a limited amount of ministry time to prepare the nation for Him and to present Him as Messiah to the nation.   We should protect that sense of urgency that moves us to DO something NOW. Jesus Himself was sensitive to His schedule. He stated, “I must work the works of Him that sent Me while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work.” The night is coming. Yes, physical death but also, the end of seasons, opportunities, etc. Curtains will fall upon a particular act or scene. Jesus was “straitened” (KJV) regarding His purpose, Luke 12:50. In the Book of Mark, He moves “straightway” and “immediately”, repeatedly, portrayed as the ever-diligent Servant of the Lord in that Gospel. He is preeminently our Example, to be circumspect regarding the management of time. The significant consequence of finishing the work within the time allotted is satisfaction, the inner fulfillment that comes from the completion of the allotted task. The Scripture says that the desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, Proverbs 13:19. The sweetest taste to the soul is when one has pleased God in the assignment. There is inimitable satisfaction in knowing that one has done his or her best to fulfill divine purpose. New podcast episodes are available on Fridays everywhere you listen to podcasts.

To fulfill one's assignment, it is essential that he or she would know that the assignment has an associated time constraint, i.e., a schedule. Psalm 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.” It means that we must ask God to help us properly manage time – a challenge for many professionals. John's ministry had to be in place, in full flow, by the time Jesus' public Ministry was to begin. Shortly after Jesus' Ministry begins, John's would start to diminish and finally end. John's ministry schedule overlapped with Jesus' schedule. Therefore, John didn't have long to fulfill his assignment. He had to grasp the importance of his schedule. If we, as Kingdom Professionals, do not manage time, time will master us. We will not achieve all that of which we are capable of. The deeper reality is that time management is self-management. Except for divine intervention, we can do nothing to affect the flow of time itself. Only God can control time. However, wisdom informs us that we may control ourselves and other factors with discipline relative to the passage of time: forethought, planning, and strategy.  We must understand that our assignments have a schedule. What a difference it would make in how we live and how we serve, professionally and wholistically, if we kept the consciousness before us that “I don't have long.” The quality of our existence would be dramatically impacted if we understood how deeply everything we do is affected by the clock and the calendar.

John the Baptist was sent to the Nation of Israel. Like Jesus Who came after him, there is no Biblical evidence that he did extensive ministry outside his homeland. However, apparently decades after his death, Paul went to Ephesus and found followers of John the Baptist, Acts 19:1. How had a message preached around the Jordan in Palestine made its way to one of the most prominent cities of the ancient world? We do not know for sure, but one thing is certain: the impact that John made on his disciples and others was so profound that it traveled beyond his borders. When one is focused and faithful to the God assignment, there will occur the “Splash-Over Effect.” What is the ”Splash-Over Effect”? It is that phenomenon that occurs when people find out that someone has been consistently and effectively serving in a particular domain and they see the need to study the service model, study the individual, and attempt to emulate it in his or her own sphere. It is virtually impossible to be faithful and focused and not end up having impact beyond one's initial scope, whether geographical, socio-economic, or other. John's message went beyond him. Jesus' Message has gone to the ends of the earth. And the Kingdom professional who fulfills the calling will reach beyond the obvious.

When one is called to a system, one evidence of that calling is an insatiable curiosity about that system, an incessant intrigue regarding it. This leads us back to “Know my SKILLS.” If God calls a person to a work, He gives him or her capacity for that work. There very well may be the need for further training, mentoring, and experience, but the rudimentary abilities already exist. However, if there is no evidence of capacity in an area, year after year, perhaps this area is not one's assignment. Moreover, one of the primary purposes of a pastor, a mentor, or a coach is to lead a person on the path of discovery of those skills and how those skills converge in the fulfillment of a God-ordained SERVICE. It is futile to exert energy in envy of someone whose gift set may seem more desirable than one's own. What is best is to seek to excel in pleasing God in what He has given. Then, it is Biblically consistent to request of God as to whether it is His will to bestow another measure of grace upon you. Nevertheless, the final word rests with Him. It is enough for the Kingdom Professional to use what God has given, in order that the assignment may be completed well. Know that He is the Author of the Kingdom Metanarrative. If there are negatives in your personal story, remember that He is also the Editor of that part of your narrative, causing all things to work together for good.

Notice that the most influential companies in the US, and in the world, have carefully developed vision and mission statements. The vision is “what the world will look like when we are successful”, or “what we (the company) will look like when we are successful”. The mission is “what we will do to become successful”. After sampling a few vision and mission statements, we conclude that the Kingdom professional's mission is the same as his or her God-ASSIGNMENT. The COMPLETION of the assignment would be the fulfillment of the vision. How ironic that this understanding of mission (assignment) is grasped by Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, whereas often believers miss it! It is because often the “outsiders” to the Kingdom “get it” when “insiders” often are clueless. Jesus said that the children of this world are, in their generation, wiser than the children of the Kingdom, Luke 16:8. Corporate leaders typically have a clear sense of vision and mission – often Kingdom leaders do not. What are your, or your organization's, vision and mission statements?
