Why Christians Should Live Long and Wealthy

According to God, Christians Should Live Long and Wealthy. In Genesis 17:1-9, God made a Covenant of Prosperity with Abraham and the Covenant is forever and a critical study of the Bible shows that the Covenant is still at work even till today.
There are evidences in the Bible that shows that the Patriarchs lived inside the Covenant and Joseph was a beneficiary even while in slavery and prison. When the people of Israel were about to depart Egypt, God invoked the Covenant and they became rich overnight. It was unprecedented ( Exodus 2:24; 12:35). 
I want you to follow me as I prove to you the Covenant of Prosperity which includes long life is your portion.
My Evidence:
1. Now Abraham was old, [well] advanced in age; and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things (Genesis 24:1).
2.  13 And the man [Isaac] became great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and extremely distinguished; 14 he owned flocks and herds and a great household [with a number of servants], and the Philistines envied him. (Genesis 26:13-14).
3. So Jacob became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks [of sheep and goats], and female and male servants, and camels and donkeys (Genesis 30:43).
4. Otherwise, you may say in your heart, ‘My power and the strength of my hand made me this wealth.’ But you shall remember [with profound respect] the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. (Deuteronomy 8:17-18).
5.  Then Abraham breathed his last and he died at a good old age, an old man who was satisfied [with life]; and he [a]was gathered to his people [who had preceded him in death]. (Genesis 25:8)
6. Isaac’s spirit departed and he died and was [a]gathered to his people [who had preceded him in death], an old man full of days (satisfied, fulfilled); his sons Esau and Jacob buried him [in the cave of Machpelah with his parents Abraham and Sarah]. (Genesis 35:29).
7. And if you belong to Christ [if you are in Him], then you are Abraham’s descendants, and [spiritual] heirs according to [God’s] promise (Galatians 3:29).
