Scripture: Deuteronomy 34:1-8
“With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
Psalm 91:16 (KJV)
Adam lived for 930 years. One of his great grand children lived for 969 years, (the longest in biblical record.) In the process of time, Noah lived about 730 years, as you begin to count down; life expectancy of man began to drop. God spoke to Moses, saying 120 years and there after he brought it down to 70 years. (Psalm 90:10). God was simply describing the extent to which decay has crept into the affairs of man.
The Bible says in Genesis chapter 6 that the earth was so corrupt and full of iniquities and God regretted that he created man. However, just like God never loses in any battle, Noah found favour in the sight of God. He was a righteous man, so God allowed Noah to become the progenitor of mankind. Yet, when Noah gave birth and the world began to get filled up again. The same decay came back and continues to affect mankind. Abraham worked by faith, broke the law (decay) at his time, lived 175 years when God said 120 years. With your faith in Christ Jesus today, you can live as long as you want.
PRAYER: I choose life and I reject death in Jesus Name.
FAITH BYTE: I shall not die but I shall live and declare God’s goodness.
