ANOINTING FOR A LONGER LIFE
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRAYER
This prayer is designed to help us pray and secure a longer life by the mercies of the living God. Living a long life will be advantageous in the fulfilment of our destinies. Death was never God’s original plan for us in the beginning. But because of sin, death came into the world. Some people will live longer than others, the greatest tragedy is when someone dies young and his/her destiny is cut short. This is an extreme tragedy.
This prayer for long life has been compiled for us to claim the promises of God for long life. The Lord does not want us to die untimely (John3:16). He wants us to live a long healthy life. 3 Jn 2. One of the many promises of God to his children is long life. The Bible says:
Psalm 91:16 “with long life will I satisfy him and shew him my salvation”.
However, Long life is a promise that comes with lots of conditions. The conditions include:
- In Psalm 34:12-14, keeping tongue from evil, lips from speaking lies, departing from evil, doing good, seeking and pursuing peace.
- In Psalm 91:14-16, God promise of long life comes with a condition of loving the Lord.
- In Proverbs 3:1-2, the promise of long life come with obedient to the laws and commandment of the Lord.
- “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long…” That’s the promise God gives us in Exodus 20:12 and in the New Testament in Ephesians 6:1-3,
If you are ready to fulfil these conditions, then go ahead to cry unto the Lord with this prayer of long life and he will hear you, in the name of Jesus.
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 91:16, Psalm 118:17, Gen. 15:15
CONFESSION: Because it is written, “With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation”; therefore I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD, in the name of Jesus.
