Battle of the Godless – Ch. 12 | KT OLLA

THE Danite spies finally came to Philistia. But the sight they saw wasn’t anything they could handle. Ajar was himself shattered to pieces.

The spies had thought they could easily disguise themselves. Then mingle with the Philistine population while spying out the land.

But that didn’t happen. For their enemy had grown big and strong over the long years.

Yes, here in Philistia, there were more giants and monstrous men among the soldiers than Israel had ever seen in three centuries.

And those Goliaths. They were more heavily built, more terrifying in look, and more ruthless in the art of war.

It was a crushing sight to the Danite Five. But the man who felt crushed and trampled over was Ajar.

That man who had thought the Philistines were his equal.

Now, Ajar could only lead his four as far as to the enemy’s gate.

Out there at the gates where they spread their merchandize, they saw their merchants being manned and shielded by many giant slayers.

Indeed, there were several many of those monsters on the market squares outside. A whole lot that only went on to suggest there were much more inside.

So Ajar’s confidence came down ruined, and his fearless spirits became tumbled down. Then right there where they lurked at the gates, he called their mission quits.

No, the man wasn’t willing to lead his men inside those proud gates. Inside that den of monsters. That den of a thousand and one Goliaths.

He sighed. ‘Oh no, Dan can’t take down these beasts! Our small tribe is no match at all!’

So Ajar called for a quit right there.

But then the men hadn’t spied on the whole population. Yet that sampler outside was itself a big fact that inside was as deadly as hades.

Thus, the brave hunter led his spy troop back home. With no one questioning him. Or suggesting that they’d rather go in to be more certain.

No one of the eager boys objected to ending things now.

Not when the man called brave stepped back himself.

◙ ◙ ◙

When Ajar and his four came home with a daunting report, the elders couldn’t bear to gather the whole people again for a talk.

They were too embarrassed to tell the people. So they convened their own council in a small hall in town.

They said: ‘Lest the people hear this and lose faith in our humble tribe. Or lose all hope in us finding them a lasting home!’

It was Gomer who addressed that congress. He was the elder of the thinker duo.

Gomer was chosen to seat at the council chair today. And it was because of his track record on resolving dilemmas.

Yes, sitting in the council chair meant something big to these elders...

For whoever was approved to seat as head of any congress was meant to judge conflicts on the merit of his wisdom.

By this, the council usually avoided a tangled case typically arising from a conflict of interest.

Now it was Gomer called to chair the council.

And what he said surprised everyone.

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...
