I’m Not Carrying Any Load

In addition to Bishop Oyedepo, one of the best examples I’ve seen of this kind of carefree living was Brother Kenneth E. Hagin. As a young boy lying paralyzed on his bed with a deformed heart and dying of an incurable blood disease, he got a revelation of the fact that worry was a sin. God revealed it to him while he was searching The WORD hoping to find out how to get healed.

At the time, he didn’t yet know anything about faith because he’d never heard anyone preach it. The only thing he’d ever heard from the ministers who’d come to visit him was that he was going to die, and he worried about it every day. In his mind’s eye, he’d imagine his family finding him dead and taking his body to the funeral home. He’d see his funeral and see himself lying in the casket. He’d envision the gravesite with everyone crying as the casket was being lowered into the ground.

Eventually, because he kept reading and meditating on The WORD, he woke up to what he was doing. He realized that by worrying he was disobeying God’s command. Determined not to give place to that sin anymore, he prayed and said, “God, if You’ll forgive me for this worry fit and pity party, if You’ll forgive me for crying all day long about my sorry lot in life, I commit to You I will never worry again as long as I live on this earth.”

That was in 1933, and from then on he testified, “I haven’t worried a day since!”

Not long after he gave up worrying at 16 years old, he saw in Mark 11:24 that he could believe for healing and receive it, so he did. Then he went out preaching The WORD of faith. Later in his life, after he started Rhema Bible School, he told about a time when some ministers came to tour the campus. As he was showing them around, they were looking at all the construction that was going on. Thinking about the cost involved, one of them said, “Brother Hagin, I just can’t imagine the load you’re carrying with this ministry.”

“I’m not carrying any load!” he laughed. “I turned all this over to Jesus. This Bible School was His idea, not mine. I figure if He can’t make it go it will just have to flop because I’m not taking the care.”

It’s no wonder Brother Hagin enjoyed such outstanding success in his life and ministry! He obeyed 1 Peter 5:5-11. He humbled himself under God’s mighty hand and cast all his cares once and for all on God. So, God did for him just what He said He’d do. He exalted him over all the cares of this world. He lifted him up over the curse and into THE BLESSING.

“Well, that’s wonderful,” you might say, “but my faith just isn’t as strong as Brother Hagin’s was.”

Then get into God’s WORD. Just as meditating on the lies of the devil will weaken your faith, meditating on The WORD will make it stronger.
