Battle of the Godless – Ch. 10 | KT OLLA

DINUEL sat reclined in a deck chair in front of his father’s house. It was early evening and the idle boy simply watched the sun set in the sky.

This evening was one like several others, when this young priest of Micah’s household would choose to unwind, gazing at the dusking day.

Like the dying sun was promising him the rebirth of a new life come tomorrow.

But then this evening was equally different. For when Dinuel was lost in his habitual thoughts, a man stepped in front of him like an eerie ghost and woke him.

That man. He’d never seen his face before.

‘Peace to you, young man. I am seeking a man by the name Dinuel – the son of Micah, an Ephramite. Can you please take me to him?’

Dinuel sat up immediately. He repeated the stranger’s words within himself to process it.

Then he popped the question: ‘Why do you seek him?’

The man answered. ‘My name is Jonathan from Bethlehem of Judah. I have travelled here to find a home and work in this place.

‘But its evening and I only need a place to lay in for the night. So that by tomorrow I can look for a place to rent anywhere in this town.’

He finished. ‘I was told by the people that I can find help with Dinuel the son of Micah here. Can you please take me to him?’

Dinuel leaned back and let out a relief sigh.

He always came alive at the slightest opportunity to help the needy. So his priesthood burdens came down to nothing in that priceless moment.

Like he wasn’t previously chewing those concerns.

A small smile formed around the corner of the kid’s lips now, as he stood to his feet to respond.

‘I am that Dinuel, son of Micah the Ephramite. You have come well to our land. And how has your travel been?’

‘God has been gracious with me; thank you.’

‘Oh, good to know, sir. Why not come in then? Come in, and I’ll get you water to wash your feet. Then I’ll also give you a room to stay till you find a place.’

Jonathan was surprised. He was a Levite priest descended from Moses. As a matter of fact, that saintly Moses happened to be his grandparent.

Moreover, this grandchild of Moses had lived his entire life accustomed to piety and goodwill.

Yet he’d never seen such open arms, such big heart, such generosity, as this one from the young man in front of him.

No, he’d never seen anyone like Dinuel the son of Micah. So he concluded that he must be a righteous man – body, bones and breath.

Thus Dinuel brought Jonathan into Micah’s house and gave him everything he needed for the time.

And when it was night, the family gathered for dinner. This was when Micah’s son found his own answer.

The answer that would save him from his ephod.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 30 (FINALE) | KT OLLA

AT Gibeon King Solomon offered a huge sacrifice of a thousand cattle. That great sacrifice stirred up the heart of God, as the soul which offered it pleased Him much. So there in the smoking clouds, God appeared to Solomon—and it was a breathtaking moment to hear Him speak. For He asked a man to make a wish: He asked Solomon to state his need. ‘I have seen your heart and your offering, and I am pleased with you this day. ‘Therefore Son of David, ask of Me anything you please, and I shall give you whatever you say.’ Right there where the mortal man bowed, he knew this was a mighty offer. But his needs weren’t so many to place in a giant offer. He wanted to ask one thing that is mightier than power and riches. He wanted to own one thing that is chief among so many. So He answered, ‘O God of Israel, You have loved David and blessed him in his days. ‘And this grace, You have extended to me his son: You have set me on his throne. ‘Still here I am in the midst of the many people you have mad...

Here’s what God asks us to tell His people in Nigeria | KT OLLA

  Dear Readers, here is what God asks us to tell Nigeria, today the 1st of April, 2022 —  THE PROPHECY  — 1. The Lord said the sins and atrocities of Nigeria He can no longer ignore. He said He will now punish all lawlessness, unless we repent and change our ways. 2. He said it is for this sake that He has withdrawn the showers of rain, and made them really sparse. 3. God said unless Nigerians repent and turn from all lawlessness, there is coming a draught so severe that it will spark up very strange fires. 4. Yet so that God’s people will not suffer or be shaken, He asks us to tell you our readers and everyone who cares to listen, that you store and keep storing up water without a stop. He sternly instructed us all to do this. 5. God also commanded us to assure His people of His promise for this time. He said He will preserve the righteous during these trying times that will go on to try even the world. 6. He said several times over that the righteous will inherit t...

🛡️Safety Call! – KT OLLA

Running into a rock? The times are testing everywhere in the world. Outdoor is the heat of violence and crime; indoors are the worst cases of lack or need. Everything seemed like the end is here, when most people are just starting to live. But whether it is the beginning of the end, or nothing like it at all… well, all of us just wants to survive. We mean, really survive. Like running into a rock till the heat of God’s sun passes. For this too shall pass, we know. But then, a question sometimes bothers us – particularly at this time. And it is this one thing that we often ask: “Isn’t there something we can do to escape these harsh realities? Isn’t there something we can do at the very least?” The whole world had stayed home at a time, till we were all tired of hiding. But home stopped proving to be a good shelter those times. In fact, plagues opened locked doors and stole away our dear ones. We had thereafter fled outside, running from those things that plagued our earth. We hid in roc...
