Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.47 | KT OLLA

THE plains of war were a bath in blood. The forest through which the coward fled helped to slaughter them more.

David’s third son was pounced on at the banks of Jordan. It was like a sudden blast that wakes a volcano. It was midnight eruption.

There was a brutal clash and skulls gave way to swords. Bones cracked and broke as angry spears were thrust in men.

That fight was sad and distasteful, that it was almost a taboo to talk about it. It was the battle between father and son: and men died like the lambs of sacrifice.

Yes, it was a war called the Fire of God. It was hail and brimstone, wrath and fury. It was the fire of everything.

King David had no intention to kill his son. He just wanted to stop him. And everyone in David’s camp knew this… except one man.

And that one was Joab. He was the king’s best aide.

But Joab was a different fire. He wasn’t anything like Absalom’s flames. For his fury burned hot without a depth and his heart warred without a motive.

It was the case that, since the day the Third Prince burned his field to see David, Joab had regretted many times over that he brought him back from exile.

He’d sensed treason from that day; and ever since, he’d been searching for proofs to justify killing the rebel.

He just wanted to wipe out that boy to atone for his error. The “grave” error of bringing him back from exile.

But Absalom wasn’t a man anyone might just end for his conscience. No, the Third Prince was the king’s pride also. And so Joab had always failed before he even tried.

Yet now that the man led a pack of lions to fight the boy, he knew his day had finally come. And Joab wanted Absalom dead, along with every one of the young rebels with him.

So he commanded his warriors to kill all, whether man or beast. And leave no space for mercy.

But this was the one thing that the fierce commander didn’t know. And it was that the fight was never theirs, to begin with.

For the promising son of David had chosen a reckless path from the day he killed his half-brother.

And from that day, the Heavens above paid interest.

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 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...
