Battle of the Godless – Ch. 18 | KT OLLA

AT the first crow of the rooster the following morning, the Danite spies set out of Micah’s house and continued on their way.

They were still northward bound, as they exited the countryside of Ephraim

They travelled for many days, passing through the vast northwestern parts of Manasseh. Then they crossed the parting Jordan to the northeastern sides of Manasseh

But there were no people to dispossess of their homes in that territory. Since Manasseh was a settlement of fellow countrymen, fellow Israelites

So the people knew that their quest wasn’t done. Not until they’d found a city of enemies and total strangers

But those enemies of the Danite people must necessarily be a weaker nation than they were. If their quest for a home must be fruitful

Therefore, these hunters here went on combing through Israel for that perfect kill. That city of heathens and weaklings that made a good kill

Then at long last, they left all of Manasseh behind, and in time came to the farthest north

There, before they reached Mounts Lebanon and Hemon, they seemed to have hit gold

Yes, the men came on a quiet humble city, serene and secure in the heart of the north. It was a city of aboriginals; a city of Gentile natives like what the men were seeking

They called its dwellers the people of Laish

Truly, the emissaries were first attracted to that town by its stunning scenery. And again, by the peace and warmth that sheltered the little Eden like snow on a hilltop

Ajar looked ahead and badly wanted that place for a home. His companions looked up too, and wished those fields were theirs

The men craved for a place like this as home for the Danite tribe. And if the people of that city were really weaklings, they were prepared to claim that place already

 So Ajar and his companions stole into the city, but no one was stopping or challenging them. They went to the fields, too; and the pastures themselves were welcoming

 They took the soil up in their hands, loved it and stuck some handfuls in their sack. They scooped the water, drank to their fill and filled their bottles, too

Everything was safe and secure. As though they’d just been let into Paradise

Now the messengers wondered why things were so. Therefore, they dispersed and went round looking for more clues

The men dispersed themselves in the morning to reconvene at the fields by twilight. And when they regrouped, they saw that they’d got the same reports

Laish was surprisingly sequestered, far removed from other settlements around. And the spies found out that they had no ties with anyone

Yes, not even Tyre and Sidon in that region were their allies. For which these predators might have trembled

No, these people had no friends and made no enemies. They had no allies and knew no foes

They simply dwelt quiet and alone

Without a king, or ruler, or God

So, it was exactly as their hunters wanted. And there in that town lodged a people ready to be dislodged

Now those folks, they were the civil ones who never knew life is a battleground. For they felt they could wade through its waters defenseless

Thus, that first night when the spies were back in the field with reports, they concluded that they’d found a people to displace

They decided that Laish was home.

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.

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...
