Everyone wants to live longer and we all know how don’t we?

Eat healthy and exercise is the key according to most experts. I’m sure veges and fruit are helpful and exercise assists also but there is one major ingredient almost no one is talking about.

How many Godly people do you know that seem to live a long life?

It is astounding how many Godly people are blessed with a long life. I know there are exceptions and things happen but as a general rule there does seem to be something going on that leads to long life.

Here are some scriptures about adding length of days to your life.

Psalm 21:4 He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

Proverbs 3:1-2 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Proverbs 3:13-16 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding…. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

So what is the most important ingredient you need to live longer?

That ingredient my friend is… God!

Affirmations of wealth seem to be what most people think of when they are searching for affirmations and when thinking of wealth they usually only see one thing and that is money. What I am about to say today goes against popular opinion because true wealth does not come from the pursuit of money.

The Bible says in Matthew 6:33 that we should seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.

True wealth comes from not pursuing money but in the pursuit of God.

Psalm 112:1-3 says: Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Ecclesiastes 5:19 says that if we have been given riches and wealth then it is a gift from God.

Ancient Israel demonstrated to us how blessing, happiness, provision and true wealth comes to us when we follow after God. Time and time again they were wonderfully provided for when they pursued God however they constantly turned away from God and pursued after the blessing. Instead of seeking him who was the blessor they chased after the blessing. Seek first God and he will provide I needs. Wealth simply means having that which is sufficient.

By many modern evangelist prosperity doctrine standards Jesus was a failure...

He never owned a big house, fancy car and he didn’t have a golf course in his backyard. In fact the Bible says the Son of man had no where to lay his head. Having money and a truck load of material goods is not true wealth. There is nothing wrong with having money and using the money as a good steward, it is the love of money that is wrong. Therefore pursuing it instead of God.

It is dumb to pursue money as the Bible says iin Proverbs 23:5 – Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

If you continue to chase after money you will never catch it. Whereas if you chase after God all of your needs will be met. The same goes for business, if you only concentrate on the money you will fail, whereas if you concentrate on how to provide a good service and you are genuinely interested in trying to improve the life of those you come in contact with by presenting a good quality product or service then the money will follow.

True affirmations of wealth come from seeking those things which are from above.

Study of Psalm 100

The term make a joyful noise is only found in the book of Psalms and is mentioned 7 times. How amazing is that for those of you who are familiar with the number patterns in the Bible and especially the number 7 here is yet another example.

Making a joyful noise seems to be associated with singing and music. Psalm 81:1 says to sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Psalm 95:1 tells us to Come and sing unto the Lord and make a joyful noise the rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:2 says to come before his presence with thanksgiving and make a joyful noise to him with psalms. Psalm 98:4 Says to make a joyful noise, make a loud noise, and rejoice and sing praise. Psalm 98:6 says with trumpets and the sound of cornets make a joyful noise the Lord.

Walking with the Lord is a happy and joyful life!

The positive affirmations from these scriptures are endless:

I will make a joyful noise to the Lord
I will sing aloud to God
God is my strength
I will sing to the Lord
I will make a joyful noise to the rock of my salvation
I will come before the presence of the Lord with thanksgiving
I will make a joyful noise to God with psalms
I will make a joyful and loud noise to the Lord
I will rejoice and sing praises to God
With music I will make a joyful noise to the Lord

Make a joyful noise in the Bible concordance can also mean: to shout, raise a sound, cry out, give a blast. It literally means to shout in triumph and to shout for joy.

By making a joyful noise to the Lord you are the one who gets happy from it.

Ephesians 5:19 – Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

Colossians 3:16 – Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

This is a wonderful place to be. Singing and making melody in your heart and singing with grace in your heart.
