Your Assignment Can Keep You Alive
Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals with Michael A. Blue
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...

The Critical Need To Know Your Assignment
Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals with Michael A. Blue
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...

The Kingdom Professional Prepares For Successors
Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals with Michael A. Blue
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,...

The Kingdom Professional’s Assignment: From Satisfaction to Successors
Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals with Michael A. Blue
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...

The Kingdom Professional’s Satisfaction: Material Wealth
Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals with Michael A. Blue
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....

The Kingdom Professional’s Takeover
Fellowship of Kingdom Professionals with Michael A. Blue
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...
info_outlineBefore we get to the main topic of “Knowing My Assignment” we have a bit of an ice breaker based on the observance of “Kool-Aid Day” this month. Kool-Aid? It is a brief, humorous, then bittersweet discussion about the power of language, colloquial and dialectal, and how critical it is about how important the management of language is to professional success.
We then resume pointing out the fact that when one does well in life, people become interested and inquire as to his or her origin. John the Baptist’s “know my service” is twofold: he is to prepare the nation for the Christ and to present the Christ to the nation. John the Baptist’s ministry set the stage and prepared the atmosphere for the explosive, earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. By knowing his assignment, John the Baptist provided an essential service in God’s great Redemption Plan.
As this episode rounds out, Michael Blue and his streaming audience explore the idea of prophecy. The most essential dimension of prophecy is the understanding and proclamation of the written word of God, the Bible. Everything true and good is based upon the Bible – otherwise, it is not true or good. Beyond that, the Spirit of God may, witness to the spirit of a child of God concerning the will of God in a particular situation or for a particular person(s). God’s witness may be dramatic, but more often than not, it tends to be very subtle. If one is a Kingdom man or woman, there is a prophetic dimension to whatever his assignment, i.e., he or she may not be an Ephesians 4:11 prophet, but because “the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy”, Revelation 19:10, the prophetic pervades every aspect of what he or she does. Expect your work and your words to reveal in a clearer way to others. Prepare your heart accordingly. You are a Prophetic Professional.
