Battle of the Godless – Ch. 21 | KT OLLA

THE Danite troop marched on from there, while Ajar and his companions had Jonathan go along with their party.

But when they reached the gate which led out of Ephraim, they looked behind and saw a small horde advancing towards them on mules and asses.

Ajar looked back at those men chasing them. He observed that it was Micah and Dinuel leading the group.

Truly, when Micah got home, it didn’t take him a moment before he found out that he’d been robbed. He came home with his son and found his treasure gone.

Micah’s household were quick to tell him what happened. That the spies they’d earlier sheltered had come and stolen his insurance.

His idols were all gone. And his priest, too.

So, Micah had gathered his neighbours, and chased after the men of Dan. Now they held clubs and sticks, ready to fight if they had to.

For the Ephramite was prepared to fight and bleed to reclaim his stolen god. But the children of Dan wielded swords to kill like the heavens do lightning.

Right there, where Ajar stood glaring at that mob, he couldn’t help a quiet chuckle.

He stopped his men, then asked the Ephramite: ‘What is this? What’s the matter that you’re coming to me with a mob?’

It was Ajar’s turn to be amazed. But the man hadn’t got the luxury of pride to snicker or laugh.

He was pained. So he stopped and hit back a response.

‘You ask, “What is this?” You have stolen both my gods and my priest. The idols I keep for safety with the priest I pay for my wellbeing.

‘Stranger, you took away my defenses; yet are you asking me what the matter is? You should have rather killed Micah!

‘Yes, kill me instead of rendering me vulnerable and asking what my problem is?!’

Micah jumped down from his donkey that instant. He strode defiantly towards his robber.

But as the Ephraim born walked towards the fighter, he came to a point that he stopped, stood still, then shivered with fear.

For that moment, Micah saw something he hadn’t taken proper care to note. He saw that the man before him wasn’t the common guest he hosted weeks before.

He saw it in Ajar’s eyeballs that he was the commander of that death throng. That pack of wild killers matching out from their land already.

For behind Ajar the Brave was a ruthless pack of archers, and swordsmen, and axe wielders. It was indeed a deathly horde.

Just now, that commander spoke up. And his words were the thoughts in Micah’s head.

‘You had better stand quiet! Lest these angry men fall on you and your mob; and slay everyone you have with you!’

Micah knew he didn’t need to look back to assess his own men. They were his neighbours who only came to help him out of trouble.

So there already, he admitted that no one was ready to battle with an army of trained killers. It was a lost cause, he admitted.

Now, when the Ephramite realized the Danites were stronger than him, he decided to let go.

‘After all, they’ve been heading out peacefully already,’ he told himself.

But it was hard and painful to let go of his idol and the priest.

Nevertheless, Micah and Dinuel did let their idols

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.

🛡️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...
