🛡️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 rocks; yes, we buried ourselves in the caves of work.

But jobs are too weak to rescue man, you know. Particularly from the hands of an angry God. So many folks crashed back inside to deal with the loss of it. And we the rest of them hungered and perished.

Our dear friend, maybe it is high time we asked the right questions. Instead of perambulating, when we knew what we all did to bring these things upon us. It is better we told ourselves the truth, the God-level truth.

Oh, we have concentrated on planting trees to stall a quickly dying world. We have hoped that the shades of the dying trees could spare us, at least. We have vaccinated ourselves and trusted in the biosciences to rescue us. To rescue the fires they never started.

Everything we do – every stumping and burning, while we leave the root of our sins in the ground, is simply treating the symptoms, and not the disease.

Friend, God is love: but it is equally because He is, that He is dreadfully jealous. Today He is jealous over the world He made. Particularly over we the people He called His.

We have taken liberty for license. We cheat and steal; we dupe and defraud. We deceive using the name of Christ; and we, in fact, lead many more astray.

We lie, then lay with strange women. We sing, pray and yet lust like Sodom. We love the system, the worldly system. So we crave their ways, their styles and talks.

And now, we are so bold that we can mess with God! Send ourselves with callings He knows nothing about. Or blaspheme His holy name all, in the name of science.

God is angry with our fallen world who thought ourselves our own creator. But He is generous still – He will definitely pardon us, if we turn from the sins which disgusts Him, and run to Him for cover.

Then we will be safe, we and all ours. Like Noah with his whole family. Together with our nation, for our sake.

“Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust, from the terror of the LORD and the glory of His majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.”

—Isaiah 2:10, 11.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
