⏩ COVENANT MONTH OF ESCAPE ⏪ DAY 1 "MY GOD, TAKE ME NOT AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF MY DAYS"


IT IS WRITTEN in Hebrews 11:17-19 
"...19 Abraham reckoned that God was able to raise Isaac from death—and, so to speak, Abraham did receive Isaac back from death."
The New Living Translation says 
"19 Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead."
IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN in Psalms 118:17
"I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD."

# What is premature death?

Death is inevitable, but a large proportion of individuals die before their time because of illness or injury. 

The County Health Rankings definition :

Premature deaths are deaths that occur before a person reaches an expected age, for instance, age 75. Many of these deaths are considered to be preventable”.

# Biblical perspective of premature death

According to Scriptures, we understand that

» Premature death is death before 70 or 80 years

Psalms 90:10 "The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."

» Premature death is death before the complete fulfillment of God's assignment

John 19:28-30 ...Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished...

» Premature death is death decreed from the kingdom of darkness

Daniel 2:12-24 … Daniel prayed to cancel a decree of premature death

» Premature death is death when you're not ready

Isaiah 38:1-5Hezekiah prayed to cancel  a decree of premature death

# Prayer of faith is the platform of escape from premature death



From Scriptures, it is established that premature death is death in a young age.

In Psalms 102:24, a young psalmist was praying God to not take him away from the earth prematurely. God granted his request. He said in his prayer, 
"I said, O my God, take me not away in the middle of my days: your years are throughout all generations." 

When the prophet Isaiah came to announce king Hezekiah his death, the Bible says that Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying 
"Remember now, O LORD, I beseech you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept sore." (Isaiah 38:3)
In response to his prayer, God himself cancelled and added 15 more years to his life as we can read in verse 4
"Thus said the LORD, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will add to your days fifteen years." (Isaiah 38:4)
