God’s plan for every husband is to live long and live well. God does not intend for your life to be cut short either by accident, sickness or any satanic attack. He wants you to live the abundant life in good health, prosperity and fullness. Job was a husband like you and this was his testimony So Job died being old and full of days (Job.42:17). This means that Job did not die unfulfilled life neither did he die young. Abraham also lived long and well. In Genesis chapter 24 verses 1, the bible tells us that husband Abraham was old and was blessed in all things. God did it for Abraham and Job. You’re next on line. Let me share my personal testimony. Some months ago, I woke up and discovered I had a very sharp pain on my spine. It was so bad that it affected my ability to swallow food or drink water. Whenever I took in food or water, it was painful and a struggle. As the day went by it became worse. Sometimes when I walked, I suddenly felt a shock like impact on my spine that made me to bend awkwardly. It was such an embarrassing situation. Few persons advised that I see an orthopedic doctor. Some others suggested that I get a neck brace to support my ailing neck. I refused all and focused on Jesus Christ, my Healer. So, while I was having my shower in the bathroom, I heard this forceful voice from the Spirit of God, “I paid the price, I paid the price”. I knew my healing had come. I told my wife that Jesus had paid the price. I resolved that if Jesus Christ had paid the price, going to see a doctor or seeking medical help meant I was going to pay the price the second. Hence, if Jesus paid the price, I did not need to pay it again. I kept at this truth and before time, I was healed and free from every oppression.
Satan has cut short the life of so many husbands through sickness and diseases. And this has left many wives to be widows and children fatherless, leaving them without a shepherd. God wants you to live long. God wants you to live in soundness of health and mind. He wants your sheep to enjoy you.
But why would God prescribe long life and prosperity for me? Firstly, it is because that’s His will for you. In Genesis chapter 6:3, God said that He will not strive with man; his number of years will be 120 years. And in Psalms 91 verses 16, God said with long life will I satisfy you. God wants to satisfy you with long life and fullness of life. It is His plan. Don’t join others to believe that you can live less than God’s plan for you. God’s word is superior to the happenings around you or the traditions that you have grown up to meet. Long life is your heritage.
