BREAKFAST ON THE WORD OF GOD
THEME: LIFE EXPECTANCY
Psalms 91:16; Exd. 23:25; 1 Peter 3:10-12; Psalm 55:23
PREAMBLES
We want to look at drop in life expectancy and longevity over the human race
DEFINITION
a. Life expectancy is average number of years people live before they die in a given or set dispensation.
b. Longevity means living long life before death. This also depends on the average life expectancy.
c. Drop in life expectancy and longevity is when average numbers of years people live before death has dropped drastically and people live short life.
ORIGINAL CAUSE OF HUMAN MORTALITY
Sin, disobedience and sinful career with Satan by Adam are the original cause of death on earth.
Genesis 2:15-17
“And the LORD God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou salt not eat of it; for in the day that thou shalt eat thereof thou shall sure die.
From the beginning of man’s creation obedience to God’s word is what will guarantee his long life on earth. By this we see that how long we can life depends on the individual’s behaviour towards God’s word.
Genesis 3:6
“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”
HOW DEATH AND LIFE COME
a. Death and life come by what we eat and obedience to God’s word. The natural body eats natural food but the spirit of man eats God’s word. Here obedience to God’s word and eating the forbidden or wrong food brought death.
b. For long life to come we have to be obedience to God’s word and watch what we eat.
DROP IN LONG LIFE
Not only that death came by disobedience to God’s word, life expectancy and longevity has kept dropping over the centuries. From the first millennium life expectancy has dropped from 900 years on average to 62 years in our time.
SURVEY OF LIFE EXPECTANCY FROM THE FIRST MILLENNIUM
Genesis 5:1-22
a. Genesis 5:1-5, Adam lived 930 years.
b. Genesis 5:6-8, Seth lived 912 years.
c. Genesis 5:9-11, Enos lived 905 years.
d. Genesis 12:12-14, Cainan lived 910 years.
e. Genesis 5:15-17, Mahalaleel lived 895 years.
f. Genesis 5:18-20, Jared lived 962 years.
g. Genesis 5:21-24, Enoch lived 365 years (went to heaven)
h. Genesis 5:25-27, Methuselah lived 969 years.
i. Genesis 5:28-31, Lamechlived 777 years
j. Genesis 5:32, Noah lived 960 years.
The average life expectancy in the first millennium is 900 years. After first millennium life expectancy dropped drastically to 200 years.
SURVEY OF LIFE EXPECTANCY IN THE SECOND MILLENNIUM
Genesis 11:8-32
a. Genesis 11:10-11, Shem lived 600 years.
b. Genesis 11:12-13, Arpaxad lived 438 yers.
c. Genesis 11:14-15, Salah lived 437 years.
d. Genesis 11:16-17, Eber lived 464 years.
e. Genesis 11:18-19, Peleg lived 237 years.
f. Genesis 11:20-21, Reu lived 239 years.
g. Genesis 11:22-23, Serug lived 230 years.
h. Genesis 11:24-25, Nahor lived 148 years.
i. Genesis 11:26-32, Terah lived 205 years.
Life expectancy dropped so sharply from 900 years to 200 years after the flood of Noah in the second millennium.
CAUSE OF SHARP DROP IN LIFE EXPECTANCY AFTER THE SECOND MILLENNIUM
a. SIN AND REBELION
From Genesis 11:1-9, the people rebelled against God, went into a concentration camp and defection to worship Zodiac god. Man increased in sinful inventions the longer he perpetuates the earth. God therefore devised a way of reducing the life span of man on earth to limit the extent of his sinful inventions and career.
Sin, sinful inventions and overspread of general moral depravity and violence are the cause of short life.
b. What man eats can either reduce his life span or increase it. Gen. 2:15-17; 9:3. Initially God gave man herbs, fruits and vegetables to nourish and sustain his mortal biological body. Man’s body was formed from the ground from where vegetables, herbs and fruits are derived. Vegetables, fruits and herbs are the same chemical derivatives with man’s body. These rebuild tissues, repair bones and arteries. They produce blood and keep all chemical, biological functions of man’s body working normally. The people who lived in the first millennium were not allowed to eat animal protein for body nourishment. Animal nourishment was introduced by God in the second millennium after the flood.
Genesis 9:3
Every moving thing that liveth hall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Why did God introduce animal protein in human menu? We see that fruits, vegetables and herbs have better and more beneficial proteins than animal protein. The purpose of animal protein is to help reduce man’s live span. This is one reason people who lived before the flood lived longer than those after the flood. God applied automatic gradual reduction of life span by allowing man to eat animal protein.
Wrong dietary habit reduces life span. Over consumption of animal protein, fat, carbohydrates, alcohol, to***co, wines and spirits, contribute significantly to short life on earth.
TIME TO WATCH WHAT YOU EAT
a. At the age of 45 years, watch what you eat: your body will not accommodate what it allowed at the younger age in older age. Animal protein, fat, sugar and sweeteners are not good food at the older age.
b. Animal protein deposit fat in the blood vessels and these narrow the blood vessels and arteries. The result is the heart pumps blood hard and this weakens the heart. It will result to high blood pressure and sudden break down.
Some people fail to produce insulin that absorbs sugar in the body. So sugar drinks and food with excess sugar are not health as lack of insulin causes fasting sugar in the blood leading to diabetes.
c. Users of to***co, heavy alcohol drinkers and addicts to hard drugs shorten their life span by between 15 to 25 years. This is one of the reasons women live longer than men. More men are into addictive behavior than woman.
d. Life style of s*xual immorality, homos*xuality and be******ty cut life span short because of the presence of viruses and breaking of s*xual barriers God placed in creation.
ATHEISM AND LIVING WITHOUT GOD SHORTEN LIFE
a. Living close to God with faith prolongs life. Atheists who don’t believe in the existence of God don’t live beyond 58 years.
b. Practicing witchcraft, charms and diabolical life style exposes people to demons that cut life short. Those who mortgage their life to Satan through cult cartels die early. An exposure of human psychic to devils brings short life.
LONG LIFE IS GUARANTEED IN CHRIST
Surveys of those who die short are sinner or believers who expose themselves to witchcraft and magical arts. Also those who are not close to God and have no religious inclination die short. Long or short life is in man’s hand, he chooses his destiny.
Psalms 91:16
“With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
God’s word assures his true worshippers of long life. He allows us be alive until we are no longer willing to live this part of eternity then he calls us home. As we relate and serve God, our reward and fringe benefit is long life.
LESSON ON LONG LIFE AND MATERIAL PROSPERITY
When God sees you have learnt good and bad dietary habit, that you will not indulge abundance to eat food that will reduce your life span, he will give you financial liquidity. But if God sees you are ignorant of the danger of bad dietary habit, that you will indulge abundance to eat unhealthy foods that will kill you prematurely, he will keep money away from you.
Exodus 23:25
“And you will serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren in thy land, the number of thy days I will fulfill.”
The number of our days is the normal life expectancy God has allowed to a dispensation. Today between 86 and 96 years is long life longevity. We attend this by serving and being strong believers in Christ and God. Those who die short of the number of their years are sinners and careless believers. If a child of God is going earlier than the allowed time, there must be reason why God allows that. If God sees a child of his will not make heaven if allowed long life, he will call him home earlier than latter.
God will bless your food and water; food poisoning and water borne diseases is not allowed to kill us.
ORAL LONGEVITY
1 Peter 3:10-12
“For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.”
Those whose stock in trade is to assassinate the character of others with their tongues don’t live long. There are those who deliberately device evil to destroy their fellow’s fortunes by slander and backslash. Their tongues dig their graves. You cannot deliberately destroy the reputation of God’s men and life long. Those who deliberately device falsehoods to run down men of God, die by the sword of God’s angels who work with these holy men. If you desire long life, desist from speaking deliberate falsehood against people.
Psalms 35:23
“But thou O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.”
Evil men, wicked people, sinners and people who are bent on rebellion and rejecting God shall not live half of the longevity God gave people in their time. Today we see people die at the age of 40 and 48 years, half of 86 years or 96 years. These are those who are not under protective cover of God.
WHAT LIFE AND DEATH IS LIKE - ATTRACTION
Sins and wicked living attract death: evil attracts evil. Sin and wickedness is death in potency. These attract death as a person.
Righteousness repels death and evil: it is anti death. Death as a person does not go where righteousness is. The light of righteous living repels death. Death thrives in darkness. Sin and wickedness are darkness.
WHAT S*XUALLY TRANSMITTED DESEASES DO TO HUMAN BODY
- Viruses hid inside the tissues, bones and marrows: these cause body debility and untimely death.
- It causes frequent sickness and unhealthy life at older age because of past promiscuous s*xual life style.
THE CLASSES WHO DIE VERY SHORT
- Prostitutes and s*xual perverts: when AIDS was reported first, all the young pr******tes and their male customers were swept away into their untimely
graves.
- Violent people, armed robbers, and religious violent people have always died prematurely. Blood must hunt blood.
- Witches and wizards: The witches and those who engage the agencies of demons die prematurely.
- The cults and people of secret societies: Those involved in cult cartels mortgage their lives to Satan; they die before their time. Satan’s gift of wealth is quid pro quo affairs. He gifts wealth at the expense of the receiver’s life.
- Atheists: None of the atheists live beyond 58years. Those who confess they will die don’t live long. “Life and death is in the power of the tongue.” Proverbs 18:21
DIGGING ONE’S UNTIMELY GRAVE WITH ONE’S TEETH
a. Dietary change is imperative from age of 45 years: what you ate before now and be healthy will be unhealthy if you continue eating them. Change animal protein to fish, chicken, and turkey: avoid red meat and beef. From cow eat only the skin, legs and intestines. Avoid intake of egg yolk. These contain cholesterol and high fat. They deposit fat in the wall of blood vessels causing blood cloth that narrows the blood vessels and makes the heart pup blood hard. Keep away from sugar, sweeteners, saccharine, chemicalized energy boosts. Excess sugar leads to diabetes. Avoid over processed food in the forms of confectionaries and fast foods. Older people drink low fat milk and not any dairy products. Reduce intake of bread. Eat white and lean meat: if you must eat from cow, dry it very well.
b. Keep away from alcohol, hard drugs, to***co and all intoxicants as gin and spirits. They reduce life span. The body of older people is susceptible to infection because the blood strength and immunity may be low. S*xual promiscuity at this time leads to untimely death, keep to one s*x partner.
c. Healthy foods badly needed at older age are these: vegetables, fruits, nuts and raw foods like salad that raise body immunity.
EMOTIONAL WRONG LIVING REDUCE LIFE SPAN
a. Hatred, grudges and unforgiveness, envy and jealousy, fear and anxiety are very murderous emotional habits that must be put on check if long life is desirable.
b. Greed, covetousness, uncurtailable acquisitive propensity and get rich quick syndrome choke life up. Be satisfied with what you have at the present time. Insatiability kills.
REVELATION
God showed me a vision in 1997: he showed me goat, sheep and cow meats: he told me to stop eating these meats but go on vegetables and fruits. He repeated it again in 2011 that I should eat fruits the rest of my life. By this he means to say, “If you want to live very long life, eat fruits, vegetables and nuts.”
OVER POPULATION AND BAD GOVERNANCE
a. Life expectancy and longevity drops in the face of population explosion. Food and Medicare reduce when population increases. Solution here lies on family planning and reduction of family size.
b. Population problem is pronounced when the government is bad, corrupt and irresponsible. Corruption in government erodes the money that will be used for welfare of the people. Good government provides clean and safe drinking water because the commonest source of diseases and viruses is from water. Provision of hospitals and medical treatment that is affordable helps to increase lie expectancy. Good government subvents food production to make food cheap and available for people. Good and affordable education increases skill that increases earnings that increases longevity. The more educated the people are the better they know to avoid bad or unhealthy dietary habits. Educated people will understand faster when you teach about the danger of cholesterol, sugar and fat problems.
c. Civilization and technology remove natural food and throw people over to artificial or over processed food. Our ancestors lived longer than us because they ate natural foods.
