“the one who brags should brag in the Lord.” It isn’t the person who promotes himself or herself "who is approved but the person whom the Lord commends.
2 Corinthians 10:17 -18 CEB
Seek God's Approval
When preaching the Gospel, don't do it to impress anyone. In fact don't do it at all unless God has approved you. The Apostle Paul said, "I did not receive it (the Gospel of Jesus Christ) from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12 NIV). He never preached with wisdom of words and eloquence lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. (1 Corinthians 1:17 NIV) The Apostle Paul said it best when he said, "Am I now trying to win the favor and approval of men, or of God? Or am I seeking to please someone? If I were still trying to be popular with men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10 AMP). He didn't put his confidence in his flesh or accolades. He said, "What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. (Philippians 3:8-9 NIV) “........ boast in the Lord.” For it is not he who commends and praises himself who is approved [by God], but it is the one whom the Lord commends and praises. (2 Corinthians 10:17-18 AMP) Be humble. "Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life. (Proverbs 22:4 NIV)
Praise God
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Put it all in His hands. Have a blessed stress free worry free day on purpose, and never stop believing Jesus paid it all.
