Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch. 29 | KT OLLA

NOW in the height of David’s misery, the broken soul marvelled at the wonder of God’s fury, as he bore the penalty for a sin.

The man had seen the depths of God’s mercy more times than sea sands can number. He’d known His love also, His endless love.

Again, he’d seen His graciousness in many different ways. But this fire of His anger was what David had only heard about.

Yes, David recalled the baby he had from sleeping with a woman, the woman he took away from her husband.

And that child, God Himself took him away from the king. So the man saw the rightness of God’s way.

But then these things, David said, were mere whispers of God’s justice. And he knew he could never stand the fire of His wrath.

So, the king of Israel crawled up the mountain top as soon as he got to the foot of Olive. And there he fell on his face and prayed.

Suddenly, a new awareness came on him. Like the day dawns when the rays come.

For David remembered that God had forgiven him, as touching his sin concerning the wife of his soldier.

He recalled also that just when he regretted the deed, God’s prophet said that he would not die.

So, the great ruler understood this. That all he faced weren’t anything close to what the penalty for his sin should be.

He realized that if it was not for God’s pardon, He would have perished like Saul or be doomed by then.

But then all of those, he saw at last, were plain justice for the innocent man he killed to hide his sin.

Also, it was the consequence for the reproach he brought to God. As in doing those things, he had given God’s enemies a chance to mock at Him.

Now the king was awed beyond words. Awed at God’s judgement and justice. Awed at both His mercy and nemesis.

He was awed by the rod and staff of the Shepherd of Israel. He was bowled over; and so, he bowed down and worshipped.

There on the Mount of Olive, David prayed and worshipped till the dusk faded into night.

Then when he was done, he climbed down with the words of a new song. It was the words of his prayer and praise.

Now David returned with a psalm, when he’d simply gone up to cry. And when he came back, the way-forward was waiting.

But it came to earth disguised.

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...
