Scriptural references:
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers – 3 John 1:2
Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.”- Psalm 91:14-16
My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands;
For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. Proverbs 3:2
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD – Psalm 118:19
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth – Ephesians 6:1-2
The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away – Psalm 90:10
There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed – Isaiah 65:20
And the LORD said, my spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years – Genesis 6:3

Sermon:
Beloved, it is the will of GOD for you to enjoy good health, live long and have all round prosperity. Our LORD Jesus Christ died so you can have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Long life on earth, good health, eternal life and prosperity are part of the benefits of the cross and part of your inheritance in Christ Jesus. They are part of what Jesus fought for on the cross. I want you to know that Jesus has broken every curse that was upon your lineage. He has paid fully for your total liberty. 3 John 1:2 says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers”. And Psalm 91:16 says, “With long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation.”
It is GOD’s desire that you live long. Don’t worry yourself about why that person or those people died early. Instead, meditate on what the word of God says concerning you and covet those promises. Speak them out and claim them. Psalm 118:19 says, you will not die but live to declare the works of the LORD. And GOD himself said in verse 16 of Psalm 91 that He will satisfy you with long life. There are many other promises of long life in the word. Another scripture, Proverbs 3:2 encourages you to keep GOD’s commandments if you want to live long. Ephesians 6:1-2 also encourages you to obey and honour your parents so that it may be well with you and so that you may live long on the earth. In the word of God, there is a promise for those who want to live up to 70 (Psalm 90:10a). There is a promise for those who want to live up to 80 (Psalm 90:10b). There is a promise for those who desire to live up to 100 years old (Isaiah 65:20). And there is also a promise for those who desire to live up to 120 (Genesis 6:3).
God wants you to enjoy good health and prosperity so that you can live long. I pray for you that GOD would uphold you and your family and that the blessing of GOD would come on you like never before. I pray that you will enjoy good health and live long in Jesus name. From today, be free from the fear that tells you that you can die anytime. Hold on to the word of GOD that promises good health, divine protection and long life. I decree and declare that You will not die but live to declare the works of the LORD. I pray for you that GOD would be with you and would always protect you from every attack in Jesus name. May the blessing that makes rich and adds no sorrow manifest in every area of your life in Jesus name. No evil shall befall you. Sudden death would not be your portion and that of your family in Jesus name. All shall be well with you and yours in Jesus name. If you believe, shout a believing – amen!
Prayer:
Father GOD, grant me good health, long life and all round prosperity. I pray with thanksgiving in Jesus name.
