COVENANT OBLIGATIONS

Much ado has been made/preached over the years about "believers covenant rights", what God is obligated to do for the believer because they name the name of Christ, which is nothing more than a self placating doctrine of "what about me", "it`s all about me", apart from the fact that this "damnable heresy" subtly instils in those who imbibe it that Loving Father is the believer`s servant???.....Slave???? The basis for this teaching having its foundation in the "faith/prosperity" movement founded by you know who I`m sure, and since propagated by every lying, hey look at me false Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, wolf in sheep`s clothing, robber, thief, puppet of the devil since.
