But God says he shares his glory with no one

Could you provide a reference for that? I'd like to see it in context because John 17 seems to send the opposite message. Jesus did say it's the Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom.

Isaiah 42:8

[freepertoo]

He gives us the kingdom...He doesn’t say we can take credit for the Kingdom.
