Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.41 | KT OLLA

AHI and Jona ran throughout the night. They ran so fast their breath struggled to catch up. For earlier on before, they had brushed death’s rough shoulders.

The two boys had been off and on in the palace courts, always carrying news to David on his way.

But no one would naturally suspect the tiny ones. As the affairs at hand were too grand and stately; then too gross and dangerous, for any playful chap to dabble in.

So that had been David’s ploy when he asked his priests to send him news by them… those frisky, chatty boys. But this time round, someone’s eyes caught them.

No, it wasn’t some palace official who saw them. Neither did the noble chiefs have their time.

But when Ahi and Jona hit the road this time, it was a boy like them who caught on. And he ran up the stairs to report them straightaway.

The boy had noticed the nephews going in and out of the palace. Running as though they were being chased by their fathers.

But when he found no one chasing them and saw them again running, he swiftly connected the dots.

No, they ain’t running from their fathers. They’re running to our Father-in-Israel, the father of our fathers.

They’re running because their own father sent them.

So when the young chap reported the thing to the higher-ups, it quickly came to the ears of their king. And then a pack of force men was sent to track the boys, and get them.

But then while the two messengers were leaving the palace, they caught on with the sudden twist of things. As the boys realized this: that a kid reported them.

Yes, Ahi and Jona were smart enough to lurk somewhere and observe. So they lingered and hid till they saw the watchdogs gather to assess the intel.

Thereafter the boys fled through another way. But even so, they knew they were being hounded. So they didn’t stop running.

Ahi and Jona ran throughout the night. And when the day broke, they were close to Bahurim. The town where David had been served a cold welcome.

Yes, it was that town where the people stared at the monarch. Then one young man threw stones at him like one would do a goat.

So the boys paused to rest a little. Then as the sun rose, they walked steadily till they reached the town.

Things changed when the boys reached Bahurim. For as they strode into the community, they realized that their chasers had closed in.

The young kids heard the sound of soldiers combing through the streets. And they knew they were caught.

That their paths had finally crossed with the men who chased them. It was in spite of the different routes they plied.

So whatever it was that slowed them down, the boys knew they wouldn’t be able to outrun their chasers now.

So they decided that hiding was better.

But that place was a town of enemies.

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...
