DESIRING LONGEVITY & PROSPERITY?
Memorise: Children, obey your parents in
the Lord: for this is right. Ephesians 6:1
Most people want to live long on the earth no matter
what their current situation is; be it good, bad or ugly. Why is this so? The
reason is that most people hope that their tomorrow will be alright, and they
do not want to die before that tomorrow comes. It is unfortunate that many
people, especially the youths, do not know and are not shown the secret of long
life and prosperity. This is hidden in the word of God. From our scripture
reading, apart from saying it is right to obey our parents in the Lord, the
word of God goes further to announce the rewards of doing so. Of all the
commandants God gave to mankind, this is the first commandment with promises
attached. Promises of what? Promises of long life and prosperity! This is interesting,
particularly for those who want to live long and proper on this earth which the
Lord has given to us to occupy.
What other things apart from honouring father and
mother must I do to proper, you may ask? You may ask? You must get revelations
on what to do per time by meditating on the word of God. The Bible in Joshua
1:8 says:
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt mediate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe
to so according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy
way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
The word of God contains several principles of God
that will guarantee your prosperity. It contains wisdom on what to do in every situation
of life. You however unlock the treasures hidden in the word of meditating on
it. This is the reason why every child of God must not only read but also meditate
in order to do the things that are written in the word of God.
It is a blessing to live our lives according to the
word of God. I pray for you that you will not miss out on this blessing in
Jesus’ Name. failure, frustration and death will be far from you if you can
live in the fear of the Lord. Beloved, it is your time to experience
astonishing prosperity with long life. This type of prosperity does not kill.
Make sure you live in perfect obedience to your parents, particularly in the
Lord. That is, obey your biological parents as they teach you the way of the
Lord. Also, you need to obey your spiritual parents as they feed you with the
undiluted word of God. It is well with you in Jesus’ Name.
