By Banji Ayoola
The Great Omnipotence of the Lord, streaming through the loftiest Height and a chain flowing downward, Which is around you, with Which you are linked, is so strong and unassailable, impenetrable.
It is such that you do not need any earthly soldier to protect you.
This chain of the Great Omnipotence of the Lord That is unconquerable by whatever forces, earthly or whatever, and before Which the Darkness must retreat, reaches to you and connects with you strongly as long as you genuinely strive towards the Light.
Thus you do not need to torment yourself with fits, acrobatic displays, or gymnastics that torture your physical body.
In addition, you are ringed around by the radiance of what radiates from deep within you. This radiance of your being, streaming from your striving to follow the Call of the Lord in His Word, to seek and serve Him, is so intolerable to alien forces.
The Lord, Whose Will you strive to serve honestly humbly is intolerable to them. His Word torments them. It tortures them. It unsettles them. It irritates them.
Naturally, any volition contrary to striving upwards towards the Light is ruled by fear.
They, like their Master, are always rattled by the fear of the Light, such that they need an army around them always.
Remember that you are in the Darkness; that you are embedded in the Darkness which you have helped reared in your ignorance. But once you resolve to strive away from it, its minions mark you out for attacks and destruction.
Hence the unending hostility and hatred being hurled at you, and being rallied against you non-stop.
The goal is to stop you leaving them in their horror empire; to crush you, and whatever earthly endeavor you venture into.
Their endless raging, complaints against you, lies and falsehood being spread against you repeatedly are to weaken you, to crack you so that you can turn back and away from, and abandon your path, recapitulate and surrender to them and their troops, to their Master; so that you do not leave them.
Also the complaint against you of being spare with words, or being unwilling to share with them your thoughts, is to lure you to always share your thoughts and plans with them, so that they could be crushed, even before materialisation into deeds.
So they starve you of whatever lies in their control which you need to sustain you on earth, and are entitled to. Evidence that your life or existence on earth means nothing to them.
All the endless complaining, grumbling of suffering, hunger, deprivation, and exertion by them are to arouse your pity. But they do not need your pity. The aim is to trap you, to continue tormenting and maltreating you.
They need an outward display of piety, religiousness, being the Lord’s servants, of humble and friendly devotees, to deceive the world.
They need to wear this piety as a cloak under which they launch and perpetrate attacks and horrors against you and whoever strives towards the Light.
They have a standby army mobilised against you such that you are a lonely stranger in their midst.
In your endurance as you strive honestly, do not be perturbed; be stable and firm. These golden qualities and your victorious courage you draw from the Power of the Word of the Lord to Which you are strongly connected; and are thereby protected.
