Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 14 | KT OLLA

BENAIAH along with his travel company arrived the city square, where the prince’s parade had already taken centre stage.

Their regal convoy, which had been hastening towards the palace, slowed down all of a sudden – as the returning nobles were too curious to see the show.

It was Benaiah’s wagon which first dragged on its wheels, as the man was suddenly surprised to see the Fourth Prince parade himself.

It had been ages since his nation witnessed a scene like this.  When Prince Absalom had strutted a convoy through the lengths of town.

But that ride… that ride of the Third Prince had ended in woe, he mused. So he was pretty sure no sane person would want to follow that path again.

The man, therefore, was caught by surprise when he saw the Third Son in the Fourth Prince. So he had to doubt that this was the very case.

Benaiah’s wagon slowed down; and the queen’s carriage followed, too. Then the pilot horsemen cantering ahead observed this and applied their bridles.

Everyone saw Adonijah’s honour. The fleet of brazen chariots he prepared for himself. The shouts of his name on people’s lips…

Even the gleams of grace and grandeur all around him. Everyone in that party took a long moment to gaze, and marvel.

Even still, the travellers there weren’t the only ones to stare. Adonijah himself couldn’t hide the gaze when he saw their parade. When he saw it advance with the ride of the king’s procession.

So he wondered what it meant, riding to him with the king’s convoy. He wondered what this was.

Just about then, the man observed that it was not the king who moved in that convoy. He recalled also that his father was too ill to travel.

 But then he saw that the king’s people sitting in those wagons were looking out to him. That their gazes were pregnant with untold marvels.

So that instant, Adonijah forgot all his worries and fear. He forgot the thoughts about his praise-singers and how far they could go for him.

He forgot that concern that a rightful heir might appear, and then step on him to rise. He forgot those things in an instant; for he caught old Benaiah staring at him.

Now he thought to do more to make a statement.

But that more was one more thing too many.

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...
