Battle of the Godless – Ch. 8 | KT OLLA

SEVERAL thoughts stormed Micah’s chest as he rode back home.

Every once in a while he took a small glance at the gift he got from his mother. The wooden god he was carrying home.

The words of his mother hit him afresh.

Perhaps, you can someday find your answer from this!

That was what the old woman counselled. But those words came back now, demanding more.

Micah reasoned: What do I do with Mother’s gift? How do I worship this thing?

Should I make a shrine for it in my house? Should I make it a household god?

Just then the man gave words to his thoughts.

‘Wait a moment… I can make my children serve it also! We can all worship this immortality my mother made.

‘So my wife and sons will call this gift god! My house and I will serve this thing.’

The Ephraim-born pondered those several things; and he decided his path as he cantered home on a donkey.

Then as he came close to his house and saw it appear in the distance, he found the sort of answer he was looking for.

The answer to how best he could worship the idol.

There in the distance, Micah saw his firstborn son Dinuel. He saw the young man wave some men goodbye as they left his house.

That instant he could tell what was going on. As that scenario wasn’t new to the middle-aged man.

Dinuel was the pride and joy of this earnest man. For he was in every way different from the people of the land, as Micah also was.

And to cap things up, he was even better than Micah his father.

Indeed, the lad was a boy with gold for a soul.

Yes, Micah’s firstborn and pride would welcome travellers into the house when they were stranded on their paths.

He’d offer them water to drink and to wash their dusty feet. Then he’d open up his chamber for the strangers to rest for the night.

On top of everything, Dinuel cooked meals for the poor every Sabbath…

Out of the grains he reaped from his humble farm.

‘This is the reason my good son has just enough to stay alive!’ remarked the father as he sighted him.

‘My son’s too good to have a mortal soul!’ he said. ‘Too pure to be my child!’

Indeed, the middle-aged man said it well. For if Micah was called pious, Dinuel was the piety that made him so.

Now the man felt his son was closer to God than anyone around.

Right there, Micah made a decision.

This kind of idol definitely needs a priest. And not just any kind of priest, but a worthy one whose soul is as pure as Heaven!

He spoke up. ‘But here in my house is that pure and precious soul!

‘Now if I make a righteous son my priest, I hope God will draw near to me!’

With that spoken, Micah hastened his donkey and rode right home.

For he’d decided to hand down his mother’s legacy.

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...
