I have deliberately chosen not to have a special parking spot because I noticed that when I start parking in a certain location, before long it becomes the desired parking space.<!--more--> Then one day, someone shows up before me and parked where I usually would park, (mind you I was not late). So, I changed where I park, and the same thing happened again. A couple actually told me that the reason they parked where I usually would, is because they wanted to tap into the anointing. It is truly interesting how people think. Then I got to a spot that felt like Rehoboth; God has made room for us. People typically cannot try such things in other places &#8211; why am I sharing this with you? What do we have that was not given unto us? Why make life uncomfortable for others because of a gift that you received, a gift that the Owner can take at any time. Humility is the hidden unstoppable force.<\/p>\n<p>Our third lesson from Jesus, our perfect example of humility is, <em>I Am Humble When I Obey God No Matter What<\/em> and Jesus exemplifies this. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/php.2.8\">Philip.2:<sup>8<\/sup> <\/a>\u201c<em>He humbled himself in <strong><u>obedience<\/u><\/strong> to God and died a criminal\u2019s death on a cross<\/em>.\u201d [with emphasis]. What obedience! I made a few commitments really early in my walk with God; the first one was that, by God\u2019s grace there will be nothing God tells me to do that I will not do. The second one is similar, and I will share it with you, that there will be nothing I possess that I cannot give when God asks for it. At every point, I check my life to be sure I am good with both commitments. It is because if you have something you possess and cannot give to God, that thing has become your god [an idol].<\/p>\n<p>Once, God said to me, \u201ctake your car, your only car that you love very much and give it to my son\u201d. I could have taken that car home and spoken to my wife about it first before acting. But I had people wash the car, did what God would have me do and then I walked home. When I got into the house, my wife said, \u201cI did not hear your horn\u201d. I said, \u201cbecause I did not bring the car\u201d. \u201cWhat happened to the car?\u201d I said, \u201cGod said\u2026\u201d and you can tell how that goes. However, it has become apparent that when I obey God, God is actually meeting me at the point of my need. Obedience is God meeting you at the point of your need. I gave a car and by God\u2019s grace I do not have car problems. My wife has moved from thinking that I was crazy to seeing that this thing works. Right now, she champions the cause and challenges me in giving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>: Lord, I will humble myself and obey God no matter what, in Jesus Name.
