In the Old Testament God's covenant with the nation of Israel was a conditional covenant. If Israel obeyed God the God would bless them.

The new covenant is not conditional in that respect. The New Covenant (or New Testament) is the promise that God makes with humanity that He will forgive sin and restore fellowship with those whose hearts are turned toward Him. Jesus Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant, and His death on the cross is the basis of the promise. The Bible doesn't say that God will send anything except the Holy Spirit to those who believe.

Under the new covenant life is not about obeying God's commandments but being led by God's Spirit. However God's Spirit will led a person to obey God's commandments.

If Christians obey God they will show all people that they are Jesus disciples.

where in the bible when God say he will make you a lender and not the borrower?

This is one of the listed "blessings" in Deuteronomy 28, that God promised to the children of Israel when He brought them out of Egypt, regarding their pending greatness as a nation, based upon an all-important stipulation:"IF you Obey the Commands of the LORD your God and walk in His ways, the LORD will establish you as His Holy People as He solemnly promised to do. Then all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the LORD, and they will stand in awe of you... The LORD will send rain at the proper time from His rich treasury in the heavens to bless all the work you do. You WILL LEND TO MANY NATIONS, but you WILL NEVER NEED TO BORROW FROM THEM. IF you listen to these Commands of the LORD your God and CAREFULLY OBEY THEM, the LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always have the upper hand." (Deut.28:9-13 NLT New Living Translation)But, just as obedience leads to these and more "blessings"... so does disobedience result in "curses":"The foreigners living among you will become stronger and stronger, while you become weaker and weaker. They WILL LEND MONEY TO YOU, NOT YOU TO THEM. They will be the head, and you the tail! IF you REFUSE to listen to the LORD your God and to Obey the Commands and Laws He has given you, all these curses will pursue and overtake you until you are destroyed." (verses 43-45)

Why were the isralitites conquered?

The isralitites were conquered because they kept worshiping the false gods and idols of the people around them. They also practiced the customs the Lord had deemed "abominable" in his sight. This was the Lord's judgment on them for not obeying his word, although the Lord did send his prophets to warn them of this.
