« No child will die in infancy; everyone will live a very long life. Anyone a hundred years old will be considered young, and to die younger than that will be considered a curse. »
20 “No longer will babies die when only a few days old. No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life. No longer will people be considered old at one hundred! Only the cursed will die that young!
21 In those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their own vineyards.
22 Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses and confiscate their vineyards. For my people will live as long as trees, and my chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains.
23 They will not work in vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune. For they are people blessed by the Lord, and their children, too, will be blessed.
Are you aware that your strength can remain intact even as you grow old?
According to Deuteronomy 34:7, Moses was One hundred and twenty years old, yet had 20/20 vision and was not weak.
Isaiah 65:20 says a young child will die at the age of one hundred years.
Just imagine that if in the church when we say we lost a child we are talking of someone aged One Hundred years. That is the promise of God. Joshua 14: 10, 11 NLT says:
« ”…The Lord has kept me alive and well as He promised for all these forty-five years since Moses made this promise—even while Israel wandered in the wilderness. Today I am eighty-five years old. I am as strong now as I was when Moses sent me on that journey, and I can still travel and fight as well as I could then” »
In the verse above, Caleb said, at eighty-five he was still as strong as he was at forty.
He could still fight battles!
Compare your age to that of his and see if it is normal to feel weak.
God will renew your youth like the eagles in the mighty name of Jesus (Psalms 103:5)!
No matter your age, sickness has no place in your body because it is still the temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19).
The devil has deceived many of us with the idea that certain sicknesses are typical for old people.
It is a big lie.
My Bible tells me that I am healed by the stripes of Jesus.
It didn’t say I will enjoy the healing when I am fifty.
It will work for me all through life.
So, I decree: no sickness can stay in your body in the mighty name of Jesus.
Now, with age comes wisdom and discipline – wisdom to eat only what is right and discipline to stay away from eating anything that would hurt you.
- As an adult with experience, the effects of diabetes you have seen should keep you from consuming sugar.
- You should have seen people die of cancer so much so that you know consuming organic food is better than processed ones with chemicals in them.
If you are faithful in playing your part to stay healthy, just leave the rest to God. He is faithful to keep you strong.
Prayer focus – Lets pray for our elders that as their days are, so shall their strength be.
