ASSESS YOURSELF!!

By Jarlath Uche Opara

I saw this picture on the Internet a while ago. At first, it poped up corns in my brain. A lot of waves of musings, clashing like whirlwind, spinning around and throwing things in no particular direction in my mind.

As the waves of musings began to simmer, dimming in my mind, one refused to fade away. It kept spinning around my brain.

If it had gift of speech would probably have said to me, hey! Jarlath talk about me! Though it didn’t say it, but I got the message and exactly what I am doing, talking about it.

It is about my spiritual life and my journey with the Holy Spirit. It was a question so compelling that I couldn’t pretend about it .

What is your stage of progression with the God or the Holy Spirit using the different models of the Mercedes Benz? That was the question!

Of all the six models, two things are constant, the brand(Mercedes Benz) and the manufacturer ( Daimler AG ) A German multinational automotive corporation. Every other things varies by progression and upgrades. For example:
Mercedes-Benz C-Class: A compact luxury sedan is known for its elegance and performance.

. Mercedes-Benz E-Class: A midsize luxury sedan that offers a perfect balance of comfort and technology.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class: A flagship luxury sedan renowned for its cutting-edge technology, comfort, and performance.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class: An iconic luxury SUV with a robust design and off-road capabilities.

Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class: A stylish and versatile luxury compact SUV that offers a great combination of comfort and performance.

. Mercedes-Benz A-Class: A compact luxury hatchback known for its modern design and advanced technology features.

These models represent a range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles that cater to different preferences and needs, from luxury sedans to SUVs.

In all these variations, the brand name and the manufacturer remain constant. As the inspiration kept hitting me, I began to see the brand name like God and the Holy Spirit and the various brands , upgrades etc like the gifts and influence of the Holy Spirit. And my ability to continue to grow in my relationship with him or otherwise the readiness of my Spirit to upgrade in the Holy spirit, like the way the various models were upgraded with beautiful and amazing features.

It is sad to say that many of us have been Christians for years. Same God, same Holy Spirit, but our upgrades still remains either at the first or second grades of the brands of these Mercedes Benz as displayed here.

My question to us is, where do you sincerely belong to in your walk with God and the Holy Spirit? Sincerely judge yourself. I have judged myself. I need to step up to the latest brand. My eyes on it! So help me God . The worst thing that can happen to a Christian is to continue to bask in the first brand of ones initial experience without any significant effort to update to the trending and most classics brand and flow of the Holy Ghost. Many are in this brand of Christianity, sadly!
