“So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.” 1 Corinthians 1v29 (AMP)

Indeed, salvation is not based on works, wisdom, physical beauty or strength, the nobility of one’s birth or intellect, or anything with which one can boast of. It is by the grace of God that we are saved (Ephesians 2v8). Only to God most High is the glory, the honour, power and praise. 1 Corinthians 4v7 (NLT) says “… What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?” Beloved, check yourself, have you begun to be lifted up within you and think that it is because of something you have done or have or your connections that you have gotten where you are?

“Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe His commands, His laws and His decrees that I am giving you this day. Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you. You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your ancestors, as it is today. If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed.” Deuteronomy 8v11-19 (NIV).
