ARE YOU SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT?

ARE YOU SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT?

Bragging is extremely costly and foolish, " take care not to do your good deeds publicly or before men, in order to be seen by them; otherwise you will have no reward reserved for and awaiting you with and from your Father Who is in heaven. You are so foolish to trade 5 minutes of "you are wonderful" for billions of years of reward with interest.  [2] So, whenever you give to the poor, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites in the synagogues and in the streets like to do, that they may be recognized and honored and praised by men. Some use the TV, Internet, radio and newspaper to broadcast what they do for Me! Truly I tell you, they have their reward in full already. [3] But when you give to charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, [4] So that your deeds of charity may be in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret will reward you openly." Matthew 6:1-4 AMP

When no one knows who did what, all the glory goes to My Father and that's the final the goal of the kingdom. Your security must be in Me, not in what people say about you. You are wonderful because I made you wonderful, not because of what people say about you! Brag about My Father, The Holy Spirit, and Me, but keep your mouth shut about what you do, or you will be sitting in glory with no rulership or authority. Picture the saints and angels asking you, why do you have nothing, and you answering; because I bragged about everything I did and collected my reward on earth. When they ask, what was it? Listen to your answer! They said, "I was wonderful!" 

Let Me be clear, you can testify about what I do for you and in you and in and for others, but not about what you think you are sacrificing for Me. The only thing humans ever sacrifice by obeying Me, is hell and what it may offer. "Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, [30] But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. [31] But many boasters that are first on earth shall be last up here; and the last, the quiet ones, on earth, shall be first or the leaders up here, because they were quiet about what they did for Me." Mark 10:29-31 KJV

Be wise, "don't shoot yourself in the foot with your tongue"! Trust Me, heaven will be a lot more exciting if you don't!
