God shares His glory with no man
1 Corinthians 1:29
That no flesh should glory in His presence
According to the verse above, God does not want man to take the credit, honor or glory for the things He does.
When you pass a major exam, get a promotion at work or have men hail you as an exceptional minister of God, do not attribute it to your hard work ( you may have worked hard others also worked hard but did not pass) , intelligence ( perhaps some students who always make the merit list(are among the first 10 best students) did not pass or other ministers of God are also excelling in intelligence relating to the work of God).
It is only by the grace of God that we are who we are now. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:10 that:
By the grace of God I am what I am: and His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain: but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Ecclesiastes 9:11 says
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skin lol; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
The success of whatever we do depends on the “God factor” or the grace of God. Therefore, let us learn to give Him all the glory, honor and praise He deserves
God be with you
Suggestions for success
1. Do not try to take God’s glory or share His glory by attributing the reason behind your success to your own abilities.
2. Reflect on your achievements during the past year, did you give God the glory He deserves?
3. If you did not, ask for forgiveness and pray for grace to always remember to give God the glory He deserves.
Prayer
Let this be your song and prayer
Take glory Father
Take glory Son
Take glory Holy Ghost
I am born again.
Amen
