SECRET OF LONG LIFE

December 03, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 3 views

Proverbs10:27 Fear of the LORD lengthen one’s life, but the years of the wicked are cut short. NLT

Long life is the desire of many even those that are not believers. I have a grand ma that is over 100years of age. If you ask her if she want to live long, she'll answer with an emphatic 'yes'. In fact, she tells us to pray against death for her because she want to see her great grand children. The truth is that nobody want to die.

There are many secret of long life but one of them is the fear of God. There are people that died before their time because they didn't live in reverential fear of God. If a man fears God and walk away from evil, one thing that such fellow is entitled to is long life. An addicted smoker, drunk or those involved in a bad habit that damages health shouldn't expect longevity.

If you fear God, you will honor your body and how God created it, you will avoid whatever may cause a damage to it. To live long, you must avoid gluttony, gluttons don't live well and may not live long. Receive grace to walk in the fear of God from today In Jesus name.

What are those things that I'm doing that doesn't glorify God?
