Zac Poonen emphasizes that the quality of our life, defined by fulfilling God's will, is far more important than its length. He illustrates that some can accomplish God's tasks in a shorter time than others, and that our earthly lifespan is predetermined by God, not by human standards. Poonen warns against the folly of seeking to extend life unnecessarily, as seen in Hezekiah's case, and encourages acceptance of God's will regarding our time on earth. He highlights that while we can pray for longevity, it should be with the intention of serving God more effectively. Ultimately, our focus should be on living a life that glorifies God through obedience and purpose.

D.L. Moody emphasizes that through Jesus Christ, death has been conquered, and believers can confidently proclaim that they will never truly die. He reflects on the promise of eternal life, asserting that physical death is merely a transition to a glorious existence with Christ. Moody encourages his listeners to understand that their true life is secure in Christ, and even when they hear of a believer's death, it is simply a movement to a higher, immortal state. He draws parallels with biblical figures like Moses and Elijah, who experienced transformation and glorification, reinforcing the hope of a new, incorruptible body for all who are in Christ.

Smith Wigglesworth emphasizes the significance of longsuffering as a prerequisite for the gifts of healing, urging believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit to understand and operate in these gifts. He highlights that true healing comes from a place of compassion and authority over evil forces, and that believers must be willing to confront and cast out these forces with confidence in God's power. Wigglesworth encourages the congregation to awaken to their potential in Christ, stressing that the gifts of healing are not merely for personal gain but for the benefit of others, and that a deep relationship with God is essential for effective ministry.

William Gouge preaches on the importance of contentedness, highlighting how it distinguishes between contentedness and covetousness, emphasizing that a contented mind is never unsatisfied with any condition. He explains that satisfaction accompanies God's blessings, such as long life, food, and provision, and extends to all aspects of life, including peace, trouble, honor, and adversity. Gouge emphasizes that contentedness is not based on a set quantity but on trusting in God's wise providence and being satisfied with what He provides.
