Sons of the Flaming Throne 3 – Ch. 3 | KT OLLA

IT was more than twenty years earlier when it all began. And it began with the birth of a prince.

But before that beginning, before the prince was born, there was this one who came and died before he could be named.

That child was the fruit of the union between David and another’s wife. The woman’s name was Bathsheba.

Now when that child was born, he bore the sins of his father and mother…

A sentence fell on David that the new born had to leave the world. It was a sentence from heaven, spoken from the mouth of Nathan the prophet.

Now, as soon as the prophet told the message in those days, the little child fell ill. He grew so ill that he could die.

David sorrowed and mourned and fasted for several days. He grieved so deep for the dying one, as he loved the boy so much. Nay, he loved his mother all too much.

Then the seventh day came that the child should die, and he didn’t escape the wrath of heaven, the wrath for his parents’ sin.

The little prince passed as Nathan foretold. So David got up and moved on. He was too hurt his boy wouldn’t return.

Yes, the monarch mourned no more. He couldn’t change fate or destiny, after all. Even if he cried a bucket or he did nothing.

But when he got up and faced the morrow, he didn’t know that hope was there in tomorrow. That tomorrow was waiting for him.

Yes, David lost a son and Bathsheba a prince. But after the nights had passed, the new couple woke into a happier day...

And Bathsheba welcomed a child, a new born child.

It was a noonday brighter than every other. But when David received the news that his new wife was in labour, he left all duties to pace forth and back at her side.

‘Let this one live! Please God, let it live, I pray!’

Well, David knew his punishment was over, but he couldn’t help the tension building up already. Why, he loved Bathsheba all too much than to see her cry!

He loved her so desperately that he could only beg.

So David wished too dearly that God would hear him just once. That He’d looked down on a helpless soul and just have pity.

That He’d show mercy and hear.

But David didn’t know God from here to there. He hadn’t known that mercy is His second name.

For the Almighty had pitied him before he had met with his wife in bed...

Or he wouldn’t have been expecting a child.

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...
