LONG LIFE

“I will be your God through all your lifetime, yes, even when your hair is white with age. I made you and I will care for you. I will carry you along and be your Savior.”
Isaiah 46:4 (TLB)
Main Text:

It is plain to see from these scriptures that God wants us to enjoy long, productive, fruitful lives. However, long life does not come automatically. There are conditions that must be met and by faith you choose to obey God’s Word and obey it to reap the benefits of a long, healthy life.

God assures us through His Word, that He would be our God even when we have grey hair. This simply means that God desires for us to live a long, fulfilled life. A person who lives in sin and rebellion takes a great risk with his/her life, because Romans 6:23 states “The wages of sin is death” Satan desires to steal, kill and destroy your life. Jesus on the other hand, desires that we might have life and have it in abundance.

We enjoy the abundant life when we honor God and His Word. Scriptures commands we must honor our parents, it doesn’t matter if they aren’t biological, the most important thing is to honor them. Eph 6:1-3. One thing is certain, when you dishonor those God has placed before you, your prosperity will be hindered. God desires to bless you with long life however, you have a role to play in fulfilling it.

Confession: I walk in the supernatural today. I enjoy supernatural health, supernatural wealth, supernatural protection in Jesus name! I have life, and I live to Good old age.

Further Reading: 1 Peter 3:10 (TLB) “If you want a happy, good life, keep control of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies.”

Ps 91:1&16 (TLB) “We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. I will satisfy him with a full life and give him my salvation."

Read through the Bible: 1 Kings 18 & 1 Thessalonians 1
