Rejuvenation according to dictionary cambridge.org is the act or process of making someone look or feel young and energetic again.
Psalm 103:2-5
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is.
3 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.
4 He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy.
5 He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.
Everyone wants to live forever young and that's responsible for the multi billion dollar industry of products and services that promise age reversal and anti-aging, from drug supplements, cosmetics to surgery procedures.
In the beginning, God created Adam an immortal being that wasn't subject to the forces of decay until he lost it to Lucifer in the garden of Eden. When Jesus restored man's standing through His death, burial and resurrection, life and immortality was brought to light through the gospel.
2Timothy 1:10
NLT And now He has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News.
It’s very important that we allow the word x-ray our beliefs and thoughts. That's the way we can become transformed into His very image.
Take note of our opening text.
FORGET NOT HIS BENEFITS
It’s so easy to forget, that’s why the Psalmist gave himself and us this instruction.
The way not to forget is to put the thought constantly before your eyes.
Talk it, sing it, recite it!
You remember as a child when you were sent on errands to buy an item. You employed that trick so you didn’t forget. Apply that also to His benefits.
God wants you to remember all the benefits that Jesus has purchased for you with His blood!
It is your responsibility to intentionally remind yourself of these benefits so that you can vitally experience the import these Spiritual realities.
HE FORGIVES ALL OUR SINS...(never forget)
The import that all my sins are forgiven frees me from the burden of guilt and condemnation.
The consciousness that all your sins are forgiven precedes the healing of all your diseases! So you can be doubly certain that you're healed because the burden of guilt and condemnation as a result of having died to sin is done away with.
1 Peter 2:24
Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.
HE KEEPS ME FROM THE GRAVE…(never forget)
We are preserved from harm and hazards to life. So that even if you walk through the dark valley of death, you can fear no harm.
Psalm 23:4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
HE FILLS MY LIFE WITH GOOD THINGS…(never forget)
Satisfying us with good things is not with the material and mundane that the unbelieving and carnal acquire with the hopes to be satisfied and are left void.
He satisfies our soul with Himself as only He is good so that our youth is renewed with freshness.
The original Hebrew text simply describes the diseased one as so healed and strengthened, that he became as full of energy as the bird which is strongest of the feathered race, most fearless, most majestic, and most soaring – the eagle.
You can see that in the life of Sarah, most people don’t understand the full extent of what God did in her life. There was more to it than bearing a child in her old age.
She was rejuvenated physically as she laid hold to the promise of God by faith to such an extent that when King Abimelech saw her, he wanted her for his wife at 90 years old. What’s more, after she gave birth to Isaac, the bible says she nursed him till he was weaned.
HOW OLD IS OLD?
According to the United Nations – World Population Prospects, life expectancy in Nigeria for 2020 is 54.81years.
Many believers expect that once they celebrate their 70th or 80th birthday they should begin to prepare to pack their bags to leave earth for heaven.
However, God’s opinion of old is different.
Joshua 13:1 TLB
“Joshua was now an old man. "You are growing old," the Lord said to him, "and there are still many nations to be conquered.”
He was probably more than 100 years old; because the conquest and survey of the land occupied about 7 years, the partition one, and he died at the age of 110 years.
We must renew our mind with the truth and not fall for satan’s well articulated lie. He has had to twist the Scriptures to sell us that deceptive pill, because nowhere in the Bible do we find the average life span of God’s people to be a mere seven or eight decades.
Genesis 6:3 MSG
“Then God said, "I'm not going to breathe life into men and women endlessly. Eventually they're going to die; from now on they can expect a life span of 120 years."
I expect a life span of 120years by the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ.
May you live to be 120years old in Jesus name. Amen
Refuse to settle for less than God's best.
Psalm 91:16 CEV
“You will live a long life and see my saving power.”
Talk and expect to live long and a full life.
HOW DID THE 70 OR 80 YEAR TALK START?
Psalm 90:8-10 NIV
8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
10 The length of our days is seventy years — or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
This was Moses interceding for the children of Israel in the wilderness. That God should grant 70 years and 80 years to those who have the strength. All this was because of His wrath for their disobedience.
However, Jesus has paid the price for the sin of mankind so that we can live a full long life in joy, health and peace.
Jesus gave Himself to us as our restorer of life and nourishes our old age. Therefore, what we have lost can be restored and our bodies can be gloriously renewed even though we advance in our years.
Ruth 4:15
“And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age…”
That is why when Moses died at the age of 120, his eyes were not dim and his natural vigor was not diminished. Caleb, at 85 years old, could still drive out the giants from the land. God had literally nourished his body and made it strong for war.
Job 42:12
Now the LORD blessed the latter [days] of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
Job 42:16
After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren [for] four generations.
Beloved, God is outside of time and your faith in Him brings you into this timeless zone.
Your faith in the finished work of Christ brings you into life and immortality.
Faith in these truths will literally change your physical body as was the resurrected body of our LORD JESUS.
Every germ, virus and bacteria that touches my body dies.
Romans 8:11
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.
Meditate on these that your profiting will appear to many.
Acts 14:19-20
19 Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul [and] dragged [him] out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
20 However, when the disciples gather Ied around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
It’s the same spirit that sustains your body.
Your health springs forth speedily in Jesus name.
Glory be to God!
You're loved and celebrated!
