"not all men" you're right. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of God, would never treat me like this

When you put your trust in God, anything is possible. Literally anything.

THOSE WHO FEAR GOD 1

12 WHO IS THE MAN THAT FEARS THE LORD? HIM SHALL HE TEACH IN THE WAY HE CHOOSES.

13 He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth.

14 THE SECRET OF THE LORD IS WITH THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, AND HE WILL SHOW THEM HIS COVENANT.

15 My eyes are ever toward the LORD, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net."

Psalm 25:12–15 (NKJV)

• Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, the Scripture says (Proverbs 9:10).

- Reverential fear of God leads to a deeper fellowship or communion with Him, which ultimately leads to friendship.

- People who fear God are shown the path to follow in life—the way or path which He has chosen for them to follow. This is revealed to them and they are taught how to tread the path (Psalm 25:12).

- Those who fear God, whom He had revealed the chosen path to, are those who dwell in His goodness or prosperity. The descendants of such inherit the earth (Psalm 25:13).

- God is a friend to those who fear Him. His secrets are made known to them. And He teaches or shows them His covenant (Psalm 25:14). In other words, God cuts a covenant with such who fear Him. He made a compact, a league, or a confederacy with them.

- Secrets are shared with those whom one has a covenant relationship with. Such are covenant friends. Thus, reverential fear is a way to cut a covenant with God—as a believer in Christ Jesus.

- The fear being talked about here is the willingness to obey, do His bidding or command—whatever He said to do.

- Thus, obedience to His commands leads to friendship: "YOU ARE MY FRIENDS IF YOU DO WHATEVER I COMMAND YOU" (John 15:14 NKJV).

READ: Matthew 12:50

- Note: This same fear of God makes your eyes be on Him for whatever you wanted or needed to do (Psalm 25:15).

- God does not want a distant relationship. A relationship from afar cannot be intimate or cordial. There cannot be a fellowship or communion in such a relationship, and God does not want it.

• What is Covenant?

- In the Old Testament, and in the passage of the Bible used as the text of this teaching; the Hebrew word translated "covenant" is "berit". The term was probably derived from"bara", means "to bind".

- Thus, the Word "berit" denotes a binding relationship between two parties in which each pledges to perform some service for the other.

- A Bible dictionary defines Covenant As: Oath-bound promise whereby one party solemnly pledges to bless or serve another party in some specified way.

- The keeping of the promise usually depends on the meeting of certain conditions by the party to which the promise was made (Deuteronomy 7:7,12-26; 8:19,20; 28:1-68; Jeremiah 3:6-8; Hosea 1:1-8).

- Although, in some occasions the promise was made unilaterally and unconditionally. An Example: The covenant God made with Noah called for no human response (Genesis 9:9-17).

- Thus, the term of whatever covenant made or cut by God with anyone is usually based on the condition of perfect obedience. The obedience is always measured by whether the person, the covenantee, keeps God's commands—the instructions of God, the Covenanter.

- Consequently, God does cut or establish a covenant with the people who walk in obedience to His commands. Intimacy or secret counsel is shared with such people by God.

- If God established a covenant with a person, a believer, He usually would bless the person, be committed to the covenant and perpetuated the covenant; and caused it to be extended to his or her posterity.

• The covenant of redemption, which was the first covenant. This was the covenant God the Father made or established with God the Son to redeem the fallen mankind, humanity. This covenant was made before the time began:

9 WHO HAS SAVED US AND CALLED US WITH A HOLY CALLING, not according to our works, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE WHICH WAS GIVEN TO US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE TIME BEGAN, 10 BUT HAS NOW BEEN REVEALED BY THE APPEARING OF OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel" (2 Timothy 1:9,10 NKJV).

READ: Titus 1:2

- This covenant of redemption has a lot of benefits or blessings which are stated in the Bible. Obeying or following or living these principles; that is, practicing them, strengthens your relationship and communion with God.

- In addition, there are principles or rules which God emphasizes for an individual believer to do or practice, pay attention to, and should make to be part of his or her life. Such rules also should not be trivialized or joked with (Judges 13:12).

- Obeying and living by the general principles found in the Bible, practicing the Word, is the foundation of whatever covenant God would establish with you. The covenant would mainly be based on your obedience to those specific rules or commands or instructions given to you by God, as an individual believer.

- Authority to use the name of Christ Jesus to deal with the enemy, the devil and his cohorts (Luke 10:19); And ask whatever we want from God the Father (John 16:23); is given to every believer in Christ Jesus.

- However, the secrets of God's covenant, His ways, are shared with those who walk intimately with Him: "HE MADE KNOWN HIS WAYS TO MOSES, HIS ACTS TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL" (Psalm 103:7 NKJV).

"HE REVEALED HIS CHARACTER TO MOSES AND HIS DEEDS TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL."

Psalm 103:7 (NLT)

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.

- If you are having any ailment in your body as you read this piece, I declare your healing now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

- Whatever God had not planted in your life, which is working against your health, such is cursed and totally uprooted in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION

• Take notice of this:

IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).

a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).

b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).

c. Ask that He will write your name in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

- If you took the steps As highlighted above, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!

You need to let go to make space for your destiny….

Philippians 4:10-13 (NLT). “How I praise the Lord that you are concerned about me again. I know you have always been concerned for me, but you didn’t have the chance to help me. Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.”

“The Secret of Contentment” By In Touch Ministries:

“We can experience peace and joy, no matter our circumstances, because of Christ in us.”

“After encountering Jesus on the road to Damascus, Paul had much to learn about salvation and following Christ. From that moment on, the apostle shared with others what he was discovering. In his letter to the church at Philippi, he wrote about an important life lesson—the secret of being content.

What do you think brings contentment? You might assume it’s a life with few troubles or great success. Perhaps you envision good health, financial security, and a loving family. Paul’s life was not at all like this. He was in danger from both his own countrymen and the opposition (2 Corinthians 11:23-26). Sometimes the people listened when he spoke, but more often they were hostile to his message. What’s more, Paul spent considerable time in prison, chained to a guard. Yet he boldly wrote, “I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation” (Phil. 4:12 NIV).

The secret he discovered was to live on the basis of his position in the Lord, not his circumstances. As God’s child, Paul knew he was spiritually rich—“blessed . . . with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3)—because he had a loving Father and the Holy Spirit’s guidance. And so do we.”

so for my french class we have to read this book about a dying child who is encouraged by a hospital volunteer to write letters to God. and my teacher was talking about how God in the book is not a detached, wish-granting deity of religion, but is rather a friend to the child, someone whom the child could share his feelings with.

and i was like:

my brother in Christ wait till you find out about God in real life
