What is killing Christianity now is how we boast about the happenings of God’s hand in our life. Very few attribute all the Glory to God. Many fake and self acclaimed fake prosperity preachers preach themselves instead of God. That is why their congregation may be huge, but is full of dangerous and false Christians. They only brag and show off themselves instead of God. They have no connection between the suffering of their own people and themselves, and it is obvious to see the big Church with a big heart for God and a leader who gives all the Glory to God.

To Boast is to show pride and glorifying yourself. This takes the glory away from the Lord. If you want to glorify someone, then let it be God to encourage others. Be careful also when people are flattering or praises you, because that can lead to pride and a big ego. God deserves all the glory my dear, the only thing we deserve is hell. All the good that is in our life is from God. The rich man died, Nebuchadnezzar was turned into an animal, all because of boasting. Many preachers are dead men and animals because they boast a lot.

There is no need to boast of your accomplishments and what you can do. A great man is known, he needs no introduction as according to CherLisa Biles. Sometimes I forget myself and my accomplishments, not for anything but to solely depend on God every minute of my life. Although I fast often and regularly, I don’t and most times fast and pray hard before I preach, I am afraid I may give glory to myself and my fasting. I depend on God in every preaching engagement, I don’t want to have anything to do in God’s business, I am just a vessel, dust and clay, clothed with glory, humbly serving Him in and under any capacity. 

Note this: 

God loves you and wants to set you free. Salvation is the gateway for divine blessings. If you are not born again, you are not free. If you want to be born again today by giving your life to Christ, or you want to renew your faith,  please pray this prayer 

“Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me of my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. I accept You as my Lord and Savior. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.”'
