My reply to Wechie
I totally agree that a believer should live life abundantly but I am of the school of thought that a believer should have an expectation of a number of years to be spent here on earth according to his/her God given purpose.
Looking closely at the life of Jesus, He understood He had a duration of time here on earth ( Acts 14:7 Nkjv ).
Like Pastor Nkechi Ene often says ( I am paraphrasing) ” I have great things God has shown me ahead and I haven’t even started yet” . I believe this is the confidence she has that no matter the form of attack the devil throws on her health, she is certain she will overcome because it is not her time yet. Her walk with God is unique to her alone.
A believer should not dread death but instead , dread living a life without purpose and oppression from the devil. Death is not to be feared but seen as a transition to everlasting life, death has been described according to some scriptures as “sleep” ( Acts 7:60 , Acts 13:36).
I might have been wrong to have previously stated that the minimum age for a believer is 80 years but I also stated that it can be more as God wills .
A point I am trying to drive is that a believer’s focus should be on quality and not just quantity.
In my opinion, a believer who walked the earth for 65 years having lived a life of purpose and in good health is said to have have lived life abundantly but this cannot be said of a believer who is still living a purposeless life at 75 years.
