Our Father has been so kind to us, He delivered us through the Blood of Jesus! When satan and storm raged so hard and the nation was thrown into panic, the Lord saw you and I through.

Sigh! Satan's storm? The Blood of Jesus Christ, as explained by Jesus Christ Himself is the New Covenant/Agreement between God and His people, and just like any agreement, it has to be adhered to on both sides for it to have any meaning at all.

Luke 22 vs 14-20
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. The time came for them to eat the Passover meal. Jesus and the apostles were together at the table.
15. Jesus said to them, “I wanted very much to eat this Passover meal with you before I die.
16. I will never eat another Passover meal until it is given its full meaning in God’s kingdom.”

17. Then Jesus took a cup of wine. He gave thanks to God for it and said, “Take this cup and give it to everyone here.
18. I will never drink wine again until God’s kingdom comes.”
19. Then he took some bread and thanked God for it. He broke off some pieces, gave them to the apostles and said, “This bread is my body that I am giving for you. Eat this to remember me.”
20. In the same way, after supper, Jesus took the cup of wine and said, “This wine represents the new agreement from God to his people. It will begin when my blood is poured out for you.”

God had an agreement with Solomon, and agreement that Solomon did not keep, and God visited on Solomon and his descendants the consequences for breaking such an agreement.

1 King 11 vs 1-13
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. King Solomon loved many foreign women, including the daughter of Pharaoh and women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and the Hittites.
2. In the past the Lord had said to the Israelites, “You must not marry people from other nations. If you do, they will cause you to follow their gods.” But Solomon fell in love with these women.
3. He had 700 wives who were the daughters of leaders from other nations. He also had 300 slave women who were like wives to him. His wives caused him to turn away from God.
4. When Solomon was old, his wives caused him to follow other gods, so he did not follow the Lord completely as his father David did.
5. Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of Sidon, and Milcom, the horrible god of the Ammonites.
6. So Solomon did what the Lord said was wrong. He did not follow the Lord completely as his father David did.

7. On the mountain next to Jerusalem, Solomon built a place for worshiping Chemosh, that horrible idol of the Moabites. On the same mountain, Solomon built a place for worshiping Molech, that horrible idol of the Ammonites.
8. Solomon did the same thing for all of his other foreign wives who burned incense and gave sacrifices to their gods.
9. So Solomon did not remain faithful to the Lord, the God of Israel, even though God had appeared to him twice. The Lord became angry with him.
10. He had told Solomon that he must not follow other gods, but Solomon did not obey the Lord’s command.
11. So the Lord said to Solomon, “You have chosen to break your agreement with me. You have not obeyed my commands. So I promise that I will tear your kingdom away from you and give it to one of your servants.
12. But I loved your father David, so I will not take your kingdom away from you while you are alive. I will wait until your son becomes king. Then I will take it from him.
13. Still, I will not tear away all the kingdom from your son. I will leave him one tribe to rule. I will do this for my servant David and for Jerusalem, the city I chose.”

Those who refuse to honour the agreement that they with God when saved by their belief and acceptance of Jesus Christ, will indeed face the consequences of such a refusal to obey the commandments of God as stipulated in the New agreement/Covenant which they swore to uphold at the point of salvation.
