Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch. 11 | KT OLLA

 THAT evening when Absalom had his eyes on the Flaming Throne, and fled—by the time he got home to rest, his whole being had caught the flames. And the Third One was on fire with ambition.

So, when it was time for bed, the prince’s eyes were flaming already. His head also pounded with thoughts, so much sleep was nowhere around it.

Therefore, Absalom left his wife’s side on their bed and went to the guest chamber to think. And all through the long night, he stayed awake and brainstormed on how to usurp David.

Absalom stood leaning on a wall as he gave it a hard thought for a long while. Then he sat down on the bed to brainstorm some more. He did that till his head ached.

No, there were no loopholes presenting themselves yet. So the prince worried that finding a crack in his flawless father would prove impossible.

His father had an unquenchable pack of 600 warriors for a troop. And himself was a killer beast when it came to the art of war. Therefore, no foe had ever routed his private troop; let alone capture the monster king himself.

Absalom knew King David was no weakling at all. Not on the battlefront, at the very least. And therefore, he turned to the man himself now. To find a fault.

Thus, the Third Son stayed quiet for a little longer, thinking about the matter. He knew his father to be an upright man in and out. He knew him to be one who loathed evil and injustice.

Again, David had so walked righteously that the God of Israel Himself appeared to him in a night vision, and declared him the man with a heart like His.

Yet concerning the matter where the king stumbled into serious sins of adultery and murder, and then sorrowed really bad, it was Yahweh again who Himself took over the measures of his penalty.

So, nobody dared interfere in that matter.

But these were the thoughts that pounded Absalom’s skull and blocked off any progress in his contemplations. And at this rate the young schemer couldn’t take things anymore.

He simply buried his head between his knees and mumbled a frustrated cry.

‘Why, oh why? Why must it be so hard? Why?!’

He threw his back on the bed now and just laid down there, staring at the roof and panting loads.

Thus, Absalom laid lifeless on the bed for an endless time; his burdened breaths only punctuating the fleeting moments. 

Yet within that long moment of stillness, the young man’s eyes were fire still. And no amount of respite would afford him a nap or sleep.

He was wide awake, and blinking. And he’d stay that way until he saw his dead end open up into a highway.

Yes, he’d simply stay that way, or die.

But then all of a sudden, the Third One jolted up from bed and sat upright. It appeared he’d just paved that forward path.

And here already was the highway.

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...
