John 6:54-55 ‘Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.’

DAILY READING; Acts 4:1-22; Deuteronomy 19-20; Job 13

For many centuries science has been intrigued with the concept of restoration of youth in ageing people.
Indeed the concept of fighting ageing has long been woven into the human narrative.
In the 1930’s the field of ageing biology was started after scientists discovered that eating less could help rats live longer.
Recently, this field of ageing biology has experienced a revolution as scientists came to believe that aging can be treated, just as diseases are treated.
In the past five years investors have funneled billions of dollars into researches to develop therapies that could stop ageing.
Fueled by these huge investment, some scientists are working hard to reverse-engineer the human biological clock. They aim to eliminate not merely diseases that kill people, but also to prevent death itself.
For the first time in history, scientists believe they can actively change the process of ageing in humans alive today.
Recently, a biomedical gerontologist named Aubrey de Grey, drew wide attention by saying that the first person who will live to be up to 1,000 years old is already alive in the world today. He believes that the life expectancy for someone born in 2100 may well be 5,000 years, all depending on their ability to develop the adequate medicines to overcome ageing.

The truth is that, no matter how hard these scientists try, death cannot be prevented. The only way to prevent death is to prevent sin, because the wages of sin is death.
Death is the consequence of Adam’s disobedience.
Before Adam’s fall, frailties of ageing was not part of the fixed constant of life. When God created Adam there was no provision for his aging because he was meant to live forever. In the garden of Eden was a tree of life which he could eat from and live forever. However, after Adam and Eve sinned, God sent an angel to protect this tree of life, and prevent access to it.
Therefore man lost the ability to live forever when he lost his place at Eden. This marked the beginning of humanity’s troubles, which ageing, poverty, diseases are only a part of.
However, God did a new thing when He sent Jesus to the earth to pay the price for sin and deliver us from the shackles of death.
Jesus went to the cross and purchased eternal life for us. What it means is that at the end of our earthly sojourn, life continues for us in eternity, as our spirit lives on in Heaven forever.
We can therefore safely say that as new creatures in Christ, we are now Heavenly beings.
Because there is no disease in Heaven, no disease can be found in our bodies. As long as we remain connected to the life of God through His Word, diseases are eradicated from us.
Therefore what afflicts humans has no power over us. The diseases related with ageing are no longer our portion. Jesus has made the provision for long life for us through His Blood.
As we consistently partake of the communion and remain connected to the life of Jesus through His Word, we will live victorious and full of divine health all the days of our lives.
Certainly, we should continually bless and praise God for this amazing redemptive package purchased for us at Calvary through Christ’s precious Blood.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for all that You have made available for me through the death of Jesus Christ. Indeed through the power in the Blood, my divine health is guaranteed and I shall continue to live in total victory in every area of my life in Jesus Name
