 #noflavornofavor Matthew 5:13 (KJV)

13  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

The quote "blessed and highly favored" is often used as cliché to self pronounce God's favor however it's original usage was not self pronounced but was pronounced by the Angel Gabriel to Mary  (Luke 1:28 (KJV) 
28  And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.) who certainly would be among the salt of the earth in my view,  so #noflavornofavor is a rebuttal to self proclaimers who don't don't display the flavor of Godly virtues in their lives so they would be cast out and trodden under foot of men.
additional ref. for prayful consideration Psalm 5:12 (KJV) 
12  For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.    Proverbs 12:2 (KJV) 
2  A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.    Jeremiah 16:13 (KJV) 
13  Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
