their attitude toward you. BLESS, and do not curse. Be About the Business I must be about my Father's business (Luke 2:49). God does not want us to be slothful in conducting our business. He has honored us by giving the business to us. We must honor our obligation to Him by running the business He has given us, or doing the job in faith that He has BLESSED us with to the best of our ability. I'll give you an example: God has given me this ministry and the calling to minister. I must honor that call and duty. I made the decision long ago that I would live responsibly and honorably. I am determined to do it. I promised God that any time I was called on to preach or minister, I would be prepared and ready. That does not mean I want to all the time. It does not mean I am constantly, consistently prayed up and ready to go at a second's notice. Most of the time, I know in advance when I am going to preach. I promised The LORD that I would never take time for myself and my own wants during the periods when I should be preparing to minister to other people. I am responsible for a prophetic ministry, so when I travel from place to place on behalf of The LORD, I don't sightsee. I have been all over the world and have hardly seen anything but airports, hotels and convention centers. I don't go for pleasure or relaxation. I don't go to visit or fellowship. I go to do business. I take seriously Jesus' instructions to His disciples as He sent them out to minister. He told them when they found a worthy house, to stay there (see Matthew 10:11). I don't run all over town. I come prepared to minister, ready to attend to business— my Father's business! I learned this originally from Oral Roberts. Then I found it in The WORD of God. Later, I saw it in the life of Kenneth E. Hagin and in the lives of other anointed men of God. I have certain time limits that I just won't violate. I may be in your presence sometime, look at my watch and say, "Excuse me, it's time to go." I do that because I'm determined to have God's Anointing on me. It is only with the anointing that I can, in turn, be of help to you at all. It is only through the anointing that I can minister e ectively to others. That's the reason all my children are in the ministry. That's the reason there's romance and love in our family between Gloria and me. Our children and their mates, our grandchildren and great- grandchildren, are all in love with one another and serving God. My family and I honor the business—the ministry—that God has given us. We honor one another, uplifting one another at all times. As a result, we enjoy THE BLESSING of God upon us. 8 : B V O V We are living in a time where entire generations have not experienced God's honor and presence.
