Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 17 | KT OLLA

THAT night, Adonijah returned home from parading the streets of Jerusalem.

He returned quite tired; but still a tiny joy kept him up. And it was the face of the girl he saw. It was the thought of Abisha.

All day long, he’d held on to that picture in his head. It was beautiful and refreshing. And he’d wondered who that girl could be.

But the forty-something hadn’t stayed still. He hadn’t just watched the damsel leave when he sighted her earlier that day.

Instead, Adonijah had ordered one of his horsemen to follow her trail and find out everything about the caravan girl.

And he’d waited all day long for news about that beauty.

Now as he reclined for the day, he got a call at his gate. And it was his messenger back with reports about her, the beautiful angel that caught his master’s eyes.

‘What took you so long?’ asked the prince, as he let the servant inside.

‘Master, I couldn’t stop on the trail till now! The more I followed, sire, the more I learned there was more to her! So I couldn’t return with half the news, my lord!’

Adonijah was surprised. ‘What? What d’ you mean there’s more to her? What did you see?’

The man gasped, starting to talk. ‘Her name is Abisha, a girl from Shunem…’

‘So? What about it?’

‘That is not the case, my lord. But she is so beautiful, and is said to be a virgin, sire.’

Adonijah was flustered. ‘Oh my, I knew it! I saw it in her beautiful eyes! C’mon, Adonijah; you’re so selective! Come on!!’

‘But that’s not the case!’ retorted the servant.

‘Then what is?’ The prince was shouting then.

The servant lowered himself and knelt. So his master looked down with fretful eyes.

The soldier spoke. ‘She is for the King, my lord. She is a woman the nobles have gone to bring to warm the King.

‘She is your father’s, His Majesty’s youngest wife! Her name is Abisha, my lord!’

With that spoken, the man bowed his head.

Adonijah stood there, weak and limp. And he became so drained and exhausted altogether.

He stood there for quite a moment and just stared.

Then he whimpered, ‘Leave me for now.’

The man looked up and said nothing. He raised himself up and left without a word.

The prince picked himself and staggered down to his bedchamber. Then he slumped down on it and sat heavily.

He stared and mumbled. ‘Then I have to be King and make her mine. I have to dispose my father and win his bride.

‘I have to do all I can to wed Abisha! I have to be King!’

That said, he fell on the bed like a big log and slept. Within moments he was fast gone to a sweeter world of dreams.

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...
