By Banji Ayoola
When the gloom outside threatens to clasp, choke and crush;
When the environment around you becomes highly charged;
When the bombardments from human beings who have gone their way, and turned in hostility against you become intensified, unbearable, too hot and too tempting to draw you in;
Rather than return fire for fire, which is so tempting and bearing irreparable, regrettable, devastating consequences, the wisest decision is to withdraw into the bunker of the Lord, which is your refuge and source of strength. The bunker, which, first and foremost, is His Word.
Its closest earthly rampart being His Vineyard. Where His most loyal helpers and servants live and work round the clock weaving in the most lively, beautiful and luminous way with the flaming threads emanating deep from within them.
With the ceaseless undulating in their home and workshop, and the luminous threads streaming down from above, hanging over their constant weaving, their activity.
Where it is active luminous weaving all through, an ocean of luminous threads and radiations brilliantly deeply penetrated by streams of Light from their loftiest heights.
Deepen yourself into this wondrous ocean of flaming, luminous threads and radiations that could be found nowhere else on earth.
Where it is peace all through, where it is bliss. Where you will enter into the warm embrace of the constant luminous activity of these luminous helpers and servants of the Light living and working joyfully therein
Into the radiant envelope and rampart of the Light.
And you will be given new strength.
