what is the Secret for Long Life as per Bible (New 2025)

 



What is the secret for Long Life as per the Bible.


God’s will is for us to have a long and full life. We saw that the 70/80 years of Psalm 90:10 is not the general maximum life-span for believers. In Psalm 91:16 God promises believers living under His blessing and protection: “With LONG LIFE will I SATISFY him, and show Him My salvation.” 

The true Biblical measure of man's full potential life-span is 120 years (Genesis 6:3). This should change the way we think about ourselves. By letting God’s Word on long-life renew our mind, our life will be transformed (Romans 12:2). 



 Bible does offer principles and teachings that, when followed, can contribute to a fuller and potentially longer life. Some key ideas include:
1. Relationship with God: The Bible suggests that a strong relationship with God, marked by faith, obedience, and trust, can lead to blessings and a more fulfilling life, which may include longevity. For example, Psalm 91:16 states, "With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation," implying a link between trust in God and a longer life. 
2. Living a Righteous Life: The Bible emphasizes living according to God's principles, which often involve kindness, honesty, and avoiding harmful behaviors. Proverbs 10:27 says, "The fear of the Lord prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short," suggesting that a righteous life can lead to a longer lifespan. 
3. Prayer and Faith: The Bible encourages prayer and faith, believing that God can answer prayers for long life. Mark 11:24 says, "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you desire (such as long-life), when you pray, believe that you receive them (long-life), and you will have them." 
4. Eternal Life: The Bible offers the promise of eternal life to those who believe in Jesus Christ, which is a different concept than simply a longer earthly lifespan. John 3:15 states, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life". 
5. Living a Healthy Lifestyle: While not explicitly a "secret" in the Bible, a healthy lifestyle, which includes good diet, exercise, and avoiding harmful substances, can contribute to a longer and more vibrant life, which the Bible generally supports. Important Considerations:

  •      
  • Following these principles doesn't guarantee a longer life, but they can lead to a more meaningful and potentially longer life. 


1. PUT THE WORD OF GOD FIRST. 

This is foundational to everything for God’s Word is the source of FAITH and WISDOM for our lives, enabling us to both BELIEVE right and LIVE right and so lengthen our life. God’s life is in His Word, and so as we feed on it we are feeding on His life and strength. 


 2. BELIEVING PRAYER

The blessings of God do not come upon us automatically, for we must receive them by faith. Faith begins when the will of God is known. We come to know God’s will from His Word. His Word tells us He wants us to have long-life and days of heaven on earth. Once we know God’s will for us, then we must embrace (believe we receive) it for ourselves, praying that His will (a long, blessed life) be done on earth (in our lives) as it is in heaven. If we want abundant life, long-life or eternal life from God, we must come to Him and ask for it:


3 - USE YOUR TONGUE to speak life and health.
 
We are made in the image of God, who brings forth what He has in His Spirit into physical manifestation by SPEAKING WORDS (Genesis 1). So when we have received a promise of God by faith, we have the answer in our spirit. Now we are to bring it into manifestation by SPEAKING WORDS. As we do, we release God’s Spirit to work and perform the promise (Genesis 1:2,3; Psalm 33:6). As we CONFESS the promise and THANK God for bringing it to pass, we are ACTIVATING the power of God in us and CALLING the answer into manifestation. At the same time we are defending our heart against the entrance of doubt and unbelief. 



4. The Secret to a Longer Life: Going to Church. 

God has made us to be part of His Church (Matthew 16:18). God’s will for all believers is to be part of a Church family: Hebrews 13:25: “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together as is the manner of some.” This is healthy for us. We receive a supply of grace and spiritual cover through the fellowship of a Church. “The devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1Peter 5:8). A lion hunts by picking off those who are separated from the rest of the herd -easy pickings!


5. HONOUR TRUE AUTHORITIES in your LIFE 

This is a key especially emphasised in the Bible, both in the Old Testaments (in the 10 Commandments) and in the New Testament, so it must have a special importance. 

The primary authority of course is God and having the fear of God is a reverential respect and honouring of His authority. This is a major key to long-life: 


 6. OBEYING and SERVING GOD WILLINGLY. 

Exodus 23:25,26: “You will serve the LORD you God, 
and He will bless your bread, and water; and I will take sickness away from your midst...and the number of your days (your full life-span) I will fulfil.”

“If you walk in my ways and commandments, then I will lengthen your days” (1 King 3:14; see Proverbs 28:16). 

Isaiah 1:19: “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land” (including a long life). The reward does come from just being obedient, but doing it with the right attitude of heart, being willing and obedient, serving the Lord with joy and enthusiasm, rather than as a burdensome duty. Kenneth Hagin tells when he was called to leave pastoring to go on the road as a travelling teacher, but for the first year he struggled financially. When he complained that things were not going well, when he had been obedient, the Lord gave him this scripture saying he had been obedient, 
but he had not been willing, and it is the willing and obedient who will eat the good of the land. He had been obeying God but only reluctantly not joyfully. Kenneth Hagin said that he then got willing quick, and then the blessings started to flow!

So truly serving and obeying God means doing His will from the heart, with the right heart attitudes and motives. This means serving Him willingly and with enthusiasm, seeking His glory. It also means walking in an attitude of HUMILITY: 



Two attitudes of the Spirit that will lead to LONG-LIFE are:

1. LOVE, the main commandment of God, means loving God with all our heart, and loving others as ourselves, doing unto them as we would have them do unto us. This includes freely FORGIVING them as God in Christ has forgiven us (Eph 4:32) 

2. JOY - “the joy of the Lord is your strength” (Nehemiah 8:10). As you rejoice in God with praise and thanksgiving, the life and strength of God will be released into your being.Praise will silence the work of the enemy in your life (Ps 8:2).Proverbs 17:22: “A merry heart (the joy of the Lord) does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”


The Bible promises long life to those who honor their parents and serve God. Specifically, Deuteronomy 5:16 says "Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you". Additionally, serving God is linked to long life and the removal of sickness, as Exodus 23:25 states "You shall serve the Lord your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you".
